by DewdropTL — The kraft paper bag was only the size of a palm. It was only by the light of the streetlamps outside the car window that the packaged cake inside could be seen. Perhaps because the cream had just been whipped, the edges of the pink flowers on top were delicate and sharp. A gentle touch of a fingertip revealed it was soft, spongy, and carried a rich, sweet fragrance. Yuqing looked at the cake, then at Zhou Xiao outside the car, feeling a genuine urge to laugh from the bottom of his heart. Zhou Xiao…

by DewdropTL — Zhou Xiao narrowed his long, slender eyes. The itch at his Adam's apple felt like ants crawling outward from the blood vessels of his heart—a maddening itch that could neither be scratched nor satisfied. He lowered his face, the tip of his nose gently resting against Yuqing's. Yuqing still carried the scent of jasmine, but now with a faint lingering sweetness on his lips from the cream cake they just had. Zhou Xiao said, "No, you don't want to." Yuqing Qing let out a muffled laugh, lightly…

by DewdropTL — Yuqing didn't know what piano piece was playing on stage; he had never studied Western music. Tonight was a celebration for Old Master Jiang's birthday, and the grand piano sat in the exact center of the hall. The spotlight illuminated Miss Jiang, making her the center of attention. Around them, the ambient light gradually faded, until Ruan Yuqing’s corner was enveloped in near darkness. Swirling the wine glass in his hand, Jiang Mao watched the crimson liquid ripple against the crystal. Without…

by DewdropTL — The coal mines in Liu County of Shencheng had long been operated by a select group of wealthy merchants. The Land Administration Department held the land deeds tightly, refusing to let coal be transported out. The recently deceased Section Chief Wang had been fattened by these merchants to the point of rivaling a New Year's hog, aiding their monopoly so that anyone in the surrounding areas who needed coal was forced to buy at exorbitant prices. Now that Section Chief Wang was dead, whoever took…

by DewdropTL — Zhou Xiao went upstairs, carrying the insulated food carrier in hand containing the medicine Yuqing needed to take. The lights inside the room were off, and Yuqing’s slender frame was sunken deep into the soft bed. He was fast asleep, a faint, delicate flush gracing his fair cheeks. Zhou Xiao recalled what Zhao Fu had just said: how he had run about with Boss Ruan entertaining guests since childhood... and how he had developed chronic ailments as a result. The sight of Ruan Yuqing curled…

by DewdropTL — "Your family's Old Master certainly knows how to enjoy himself," Li Yuanjing said with a chuckle. Zhou Xiao cast a sideways glance at him, idly fiddling with the fork and knife in his hands. "Did you feed all your schooling to the dogs?" "What's the matter?" Li Yuanjing asked. "He is a man. I never knew you were interested in men as well." "What difference does it make whether it's a man or a woman? It’s just having fun on the outside anyway. Marry a low-maintenance wife at home, and out here…

by DewdropTL — Standing there, Zhou Xiao appeared exceptionally tall and imposing. Even with Yuqing stepping on top of his shoes, he still had to stand on tiptoe to barely meet the man’s gaze on level ground. With only a three-year age difference between them, Yuqing’s physique seemed far too frail and sickly by comparison. Nourished like a chronic medicine jar for years on end, his flesh clung thinly to bone, possessing the enchanting, alluring beauty of a living spirit. Zhou Xiao’s robust, youthful…

by DewdropTL — The décor of the Peace Hotel leaned decidedly European. When knees pressed into the round, plush, king-sized bed, it felt like sinking into a quagmire, yielding deeply beneath the weight. Yuqing’s long hair had only been half-pinned with a jade hairpin. Suddenly hoisted up and thrown onto the bed, the hairpin tumbled away to parts unknown, leaving his dark locks to cascade across the sheets like a waterfall. "You—" He hadn't intended to stay long in Shencheng; it was only because Deng Yongquan…

by DewdropTL — He and Yuqing had shared only a single encounter. Yet brief as it was, it could not remain merely that. With eyes wide in sheer disbelief, the man tried to crane his neck back for one last look at his killer. After a few muffled, choking coughs, his bloated head floated atop the washbasin like a weightless balloon. Zhou Xiao wiped his hands clean. From the stage outside, the nightclub singer’s melodious voice drifted in, switching to the tune of Night in Shanghai. Faintly haunting and rather…

by DewdropTL — Shencheng Industrial Bank. After spending a few days sorting out the paperwork in Shanghai, the bank’s affairs proved not too troublesome and were handled smoothly. With the official documents from Shanghai in hand, the coal mine in Liu County legitimately became the private property of their bank. The bank president treated him with utmost deference, sporting a beaming smile for days on end. Zhou Xiao stayed in an apartment building in the city center. That evening, the section chief in…
