XR CH39

by DewdropTL — Chapter 39: N. Mark of Pain In the week he lived with Ning Yixiao, Su Hui clearly felt his uncontrollable emotions gradually recovering. He was no longer as numb or negative as he had been in the recent period, and he could begin to receive some emotions from the outside world. Even when facing Ning Yixiao, he would occasionally smile; this was something Su Hui had not dared to hope for during his previous depressive episodes. He thought of himself as a clumsy thief, constantly trying to…

XR CH38

by DewdropTL — Chapter 38: N. Transparent Barrier Ever since he agreed to let Ning Yixiao move back into the apartment, a strange, eerie atmosphere had enveloped Su Hui, leading him to regret his decision from time to time. He was curious about what had happened in these six years to make Ning Yixiao change so much. In the past, he was like a spring breeze to almost everyone, revealing his cold, heartless side only to Su Hui. But now, he didn't even bother to pretend; he maintained a cold face during work hours,…

XR CH37

by DewdropTL — Chapter 37: N. Alone Time Ning Yixiao had never intended to drink with Jing Ming. He hated the taste of alcohol, and even more so, he was unaccustomed to the feeling of having his body controlled by it. But as it happened, that afternoon, the person he had hired to look into news for him told him that Su Hui’s grandfather had died of a cerebral infarction, and his mother had passed away in a car accident. Both accidents occurred in the second year after the family moved to Shanghai—the…

XR CH36

by DewdropTL — Chapter 36: N. The Unreserved Confession “Are you really not drunk?” Su Hui tried to wake him. “Ning Yixiao, wake up.” But he was truly incapacitated. He closed his eyes again, his head dropping until his nose brushed against the side of Su Hui’s neck, his hot breath lingering near his ear. Su Hui felt his legs go weak; unable to push him away, he could only turn his face. Fortunately, Kofi heard the commotion and came downstairs. Seeing Ning Yixiao in such a state, she rushed to help,…

XR CH35

by DewdropTL — Chapter 35: N. The Untold Secret Seeing Sean’s email, Su Hui realized his invitation had been overly intrusive; since the person had chosen to remain anonymous, they clearly had no desire to reveal their identity. Sean’s email also served as a reminder that due to his grandmother’s illness, he had fallen behind on his projects, including the commission for Miss Jones’s engagement party. He understood what this piece meant to a woman about to enter into marriage, and he knew it could not…

XR CH34

by DewdropTL — Chapter 34: N. Wandering Threads of Dreams Su Hui carefully read through Xue Gao's electronic identification. It had been issued a year ago, meaning the dog had become a certified therapy dog as soon as he reached adulthood—a full year of service to date. Xue Gao let out a soft whine, pushing his chest forward and nudging his nose under Su Hui’s palm, signaling for a pet. But Su Hui was already lost in thought. He stood up and went back upstairs—entering, for the first time, the room Kofi…

XR CH33

by DewdropTL — Chapter 33: N. Companionship and Healing Jing Ming got off the elevator and returned to his car before Ning Yixiao finally answered the phone. "Where are you?" Jing Ming asked aggressively. Ning Yixiao’s voice sounded listless. "Hotel." "A hotel? You’re not living in your own house and you’re running off to stay at a hotel? Did you lose your mind?" Jing Ming started the car and left the apartment parking lot. "Did you let your ex-boyfriend move in?" "How did you know?" Ning Yixiao…

XR CH32

by DewdropTL — Chapter 32: N. The Gilded Cage Ning Yixiao originally hadn’t wanted to intervene in Su Hui’s life with such heavy-handed tactics. He had attempted to provide help gently, or secretly supply what Su Hui needed, but the results were poor. Su Hui was more resistant and distant than he had imagined. However, after hearing that Liang Wen had been rejected, Ning Yixiao still couldn’t restrain his heart. Seeing Su Hui sink into the swamp of his depressive episode, seeing him collapse in a coma,…

XR CH31

by DewdropTL — Chapter 31: N. The Puzzle Plan When he said this, Su Hui didn’t feel sad; he was just numb. He couldn’t control his speech, couldn’t control his emotions, and couldn’t even process feedback normally. He just stared at Ning Yixiao, his face devoid of expression. Strangely, upon hearing those words, Ning Yixiao actually furrowed his brow, and an emotion that looked very much like pain flickered in his eyes. Su Hui had no way of deciphering it, nor did he want to speculate on Ning…

XR CH30

by DewdropTL — Chapter 30: N. Proust Su Hui woke up at 10:30 AM. He opened his eyes, finding the environment unfamiliar, and had forgotten what he was doing moments before waking. His mind was a chaotic void; he could only stare at the blank ceiling, motionless. It was the landlady who noticed he was awake. She rose from a nearby chair and stepped forward, softly calling his name. Su Hui didn't have the strength to turn his head; he just glanced at her. "You're awake? You scared me to death, child." She…
