XR CH49

by DewdropTL — Chapter 49: P. A Lonely Farewell When Su Hui woke up, Ning Yixiao was already gone. On the table lay some bread, and underneath the plate was a note. The note was vague, covering everything in just a few sentences. Reading it, Su Hui was gradually engulfed by a great panic. He knew Ning Yixiao; if it weren't for something of extreme importance, he wouldn't have left like this, at least not without waiting for him to wake up. Unsure if his guess was correct, but for someone like Su Hui,…

XR CH48

by DewdropTL — Chapter 48: P. Black Shadows Su Hui had thought his grandmother would come to help him, but when she actually appeared, the guilt and shame made it difficult for him to face her. During their time apart, his grandmother seemed to have aged, her hair much whiter. She lacked her usual elegance and refinement; before she had even said two sentences, she began to cry. Su Hui hugged her and wiped away her tears, but he didn't want to accept her help. "I can manage on my own. Please take this money…

XR CH47

by DewdropTL — Chapter 47: P. Murphy’s Law Su Hui’s decision to run away from home was not a spur-of-the-moment act; he had wanted to escape for a long time, but he never knew where he could go. His attitude toward life had always been one of avoidance. Past attempts at rebellion were short-lived and ineffective—at most, he would wander outside for a single night before obediently returning home to face the consequences. But this time, Su Hui had no intention of ever going back. Ning Yixiao had given him a…

XR CH46

by DewdropTL — Chapter 46 | P. To-Do List When Ning Yixiao said the word "home," Su Hui thought that his heart had been completely captured, without a single trace of room left for anyone else. The world would not stand still, but at least in this moment, no one understood him better than Ning Yixiao. He followed Ning Yixiao back to that rented room. Three months ago, this place had been nothing more than somewhere to stay for a night, a refuge from a lonely, unbearable evening. But now, this small room was what…

XR CH45

by DewdropTL — Chapter 45: P. Fleeing in Panic Autumn arrived more unexpectedly than imagined; a blast of cold wind brought by a cold front extinguished the lingering warmth of summer. Ginkgo leaves began to turn yellow, signaling Beijing's entry into a long autumn. Ning Yixiao couldn't describe the feeling; it was as if he had lived through a summer movie. Even though the curtain had already fallen, the movie’s dialogue still lingered on the black screen. Every day spent with Su Hui was too short. He knew…

XR CH44

by DewdropTL — Chapter 44: P. Fellow Outcasts Entering Su Hui’s room for the second time, Ning Yixiao’s role shifted from a comforter to a visitor. Su Hui’s state was much better than last time, which slightly eased the anxiety and restlessness in Ning Yixiao’s heart. Yet, because of the shift in perspective, he could now deeply and intuitively appreciate how beautiful the room was—something he had been too distracted to notice before. Su Hui found an exquisite photo album and opened it for Ning…

XR CH43

by DewdropTL — Chapter 43: P. Without Reservation After such a sweet night, Su Hui slept for less than two hours, dominated by the excitement brought on by his hypomania. Usually, he found it difficult to stay in one room; even in the middle of the night, he would run to the garden or leave the house to walk the streets until dawn just to burn off energy. But with Ning Yixiao here, Su Hui found he could accept staying in one room. Ning Yixiao was very accustomed to hugging him from behind, his arm…

XR CH42

by DewdropTL — Chapter 42: P. First Gift Summer is as brief as a burning old shirt. Humidity, sweat, mugginess, and scents are all cast into the flames; while immersed in them, one is simply addicted to the raging fire, feeling that everything is about to disappear, yet feeling a sense of loss for the passing of old things. For Su Hui, the summer he spent having Ning Yixiao was perhaps the one he cherished most in his life, now burned away. He was used to being treated as an unspeakable patient. Even when he…

by DewdropTL — Chapter 41: N. Appropriate Coaxing After leaving the cocktail party, Ning Yixiao got into the car and gave the drunk Jing Ming a ride. The temperature inside the car was quite high, and as soon as he got in, he felt a bit dizzy, so he cracked open a window. "Hey, by the way, didn't you say that your 'someone at home' is still in a depressive phase?" Jing Ming was slurring his words, a mix of English and Chinese. "Can you really leave him alone at home? Should I have Kefi and Mark go back?" Ning…

by DewdropTL — Chapter 40: N. Brand New Plan The rain in New York stopped and started, intermittently, and the sky remained a constant gray. Su Hui had been off his medication for three days, and his state was deteriorating rapidly. On Tuesday, Liang Wen found his current address through Carl and came to visit in person, but Su Hui hid away, pretending not to hear the doorbell and refusing to see him. He knew he was failing Liang Wen’s concern, but he was helpless to do otherwise. Ning Yixiao, however, opened…
