XR CH59

by DewdropTL — Chapter 59: N. The Struggle of Love and Desire Su Hui didn't know how to describe this moment. It seemed like nothing this wonderful had happened in his life for a long time. Ever since he parted ways with Ning Yixiao, everything had been a dull, lackluster gray. But with Ning Yixiao’s reappearance, he had been given an ethereal, dreamlike night. "Thank you." Su Hui kept his head slightly lowered, his earrings swaying gently. He looked up, giving Ning Yixiao a moist, lingering gaze. "Should I…

XR CH58

by DewdropTL — Chapter 58: N. Outdoor Movie Carl felt his boss had been very strange lately. As the person who valued efficiency above all else, could not accept work being done outside the schedule, and possessed an extreme aversion to unexpected situations, Ning Yixiao had actually asked three times if his roadshow schedule could be changed. When Carl gave a negative answer for the third time, Ning Yixiao provided a hotel address in Los Angeles and told him to have the magazine move the interview there. The…

XR CH57

by DewdropTL — Chapter 57: N. Gentle Probing When being kissed by Ning Yixiao, Su Hui thought of what he had said about life in New York, and the lack of boundaries regarding lust and the chaotic social networks in the art world. He inexplicably thought of a sculptor he had met at an exhibition who believed in Dadaism—a white male who was dating two people at the same time, one of whom was even a man; the three of them maintained a healthy social relationship. Su Hui had been puzzled at the time, very much…

XR CH56

by DewdropTL — Chapter 56: N. Tacit Argument Hearing this word, Su Hui was stunned for a moment, and his earlobes quickly turned red. He began to regret asking such a stupid question. Ning Yixiao was clearly joking with him, and he had actually believed it—it made him look very foolish and lacking in boundaries. Even if someone really was introducing a partner to Ning Yixiao, what did that have to do with him? Ning Yixiao did not continue the topic, as if neither of them had just crossed a line. They stepped…

XR CH55

by DewdropTL — Chapter 55: N. Foreign New Year Being in a relationship where you end up kissing and sleeping with your ex is already wretched enough, but the worst part is the inability to run away. Su Hui felt that the situation was slipping out of his control. He knew he was doing something wrong, yet he couldn't bring himself to be cruel enough to reject Ning Yixiao. His mind was a mess of complex emotions; on one hand, he felt he already owed Ning Yixiao so much that he wanted to compensate as much as possible…

XR CH54

by DewdropTL — Chapter 54: N. Lingering Warmth They had kissed. Su Hui’s vision was obscured by the gray mist of cigarette smoke. His mind felt fogged over, his reason hijacked by alcohol, leaving him disoriented and believing he had truly returned to the past. Only the Ning Yixiao of the past would have kissed him. He had said he was 27, but Su Hui felt he was lying; only the 21-year-old Ning Yixiao would kiss him. Was it a dream? An illusion? Had my illness worsened again... Confusion and desire…

XR CH53

by DewdropTL — Chapter 53: N. Birthday Wish Su Hui was effortlessly drained of all strength; it had taken only six words and a few seconds. Ning Yixiao hadn't said "I hate you." He could have said it—he was the person in the world most entitled to say those words. Su Hui’s body was burning, his mind a void. His physical self and his thoughts seemed to be disintegrating, neither listening to the other’s commands. In terms of etiquette, he should have at least replied with a "Happy New Year," but he…

XR CH52

by DewdropTL — Chapter 52: N. New Year’s Gathering Something didn't feel right... the sensation was far too real. Su Hui, half-asleep, felt a sudden tickle in his nose. Before he could stop it, he leaned forward and sneezed. "Bless you." Ning Yixiao’s voice came from right beside him, doubling the sense of reality. Su Hui was startled. Just as he was about to look up, a second sneeze escaped him: "Achoo—" "Bless you." Ning Yixiao sat leisurely to the side, repeating the American idiom once…

XR CH51

by DewdropTL — Chapter 51: N. Making Up for Regrets Su Hui's birthday cake plan was progressing with extreme difficulty. He was a firm believer that "diligence makes up for clumsiness," so no matter how many times he failed, he kept trying his best. However, during this period, Su Hui had eaten so many failed chiffon cakes that he was nearly driven to madness. His desire for success even managed to suppress his social anxiety. To figure out what was going wrong, Su Hui took one of his failed cakes to a nearby…

XR CH50

by DewdropTL — Chapter 50: N. The Game of Choices Six years ago, Ning Yixiao had said the exact same thing. Su Hui’s mind was instantly pulled back to that past—a time when pleasure and pain were hopelessly intertwined. It was strange. After so many high-pressure "treatments," the electroshock and the heavy medication had long since reshaped his brain, leaving him dull and causing him to lose many important memories of his life. Yet, he remembered this bitter period with agonizing clarity. He could even clearly…
