In the third year of studying abroad, Mu Xianqing and the collector Mr. Wendell co-hosted an art exhibition for Jiang Ruotang at a gallery in New York. Originally, Jiang Ruotang didn’t plan to exhibit the paintings he did of Lu Guifan. But after Mu Xianqing’s persistent persuasion—with phrases like “Love can’t be shared, but the joy of love can,” “Let those who admire your art believe in love again,” and “Lu Guifan isn’t someone you need to hide”—plus the fact that Lu Guifan…

When Jiang Ruotang and Lu Guifan returned to China, it happened to coincide with the start of filming for The City of Sand. Originally, Jiang Ruotang had planned to cover the 1 billion yuan investment gap himself. After all, over the years, with earnings from projects like Little Sweet Fruit, Xiaolan smartphones, and investments in Shan Hai Century, that amount wasn’t a huge burden for him. But somehow Mu Xianqing caught wind of it and immediately called Jiang Ruotang. In a rare moment of sarcasm,…

Jiang Ruotang still remembered the first time he met Lu Wei—those round, bright eyes full of expectation and the desire to be acknowledged. She had been so small he could easily lift her with one arm. In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed, and the once-shy little girl had now grown into a graceful young lady. Her dance class had just ended when Jiang Ruotang’s car was already parked downstairs, waiting to take her home. Xiaowei exited the elevator chatting with her friends, her face lit up…

Jiang Ruotang had played a round of badminton with Lu Guifan over the weekend. He hadn’t exercised in so long that he fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow, not even setting his phone alarm. Who would have thought—when he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on an antique bed. No, wait… this should be called a couch or daybed (榻). Several women dressed in ancient-style clothing stood beside the couch, heads lowered. Upon hearing his stirring, one of them softly called out,…

Aunt Juan kindly reminded, “Your Highness, you should rest early. Don’t you have an appointment with Young Master Lin to go to the Chunfeng Teahouse tomorrow?” “Huh? Why are we going to Chunfeng Teahouse?” Jiang Ruotang looked up in confusion. “To see Young Master Bai, of course. Tomorrow, Master Wang will be debating with several of the capital’s great scholars at Chunfeng Teahouse, and naturally, Young Master Bai will be by his side. If you get up early, you can go with Young Master…

When Jiang Ruotang opened his eyes, he found himself staring at a pure white ceiling, and the air was filled with the faint smell of something like alcohol. The final stage of his last life had been spent in a hospital; he was incredibly familiar with this kind of scent. He remembered that Lu Guifan was working late today. He had driven to the lab to pick him up and returned to their garage at home... Jiang Ruotang had looked at Lu Guifan's sleeping profile, unable to bear waking him. He had closed his…

Cui He said, "Why do you care who likes whom! It’s not like he likes you anyway!" Ding Bing added, "Yeah, like he’d like a bubble teapot like you!" "What is it?" Jiang Ruotang asked. "Tonight, a few friends of mine who also work as print models are going to sing karaoke. Would you honor us with your presence?" Li Ying smiled as he spoke, leaning forward slightly—close enough for them to clearly see each other’s eyes, but not crossing the line into physical intimacy. This guy clearly…

Because of a project with his teammates, Lu Guifan's exchange semester was unexpectedly delayed by half a term. Instead, Jiang Ruotang ended up going first. Lu Guifan still remembered seeing Jiang Ruotang off at the airport. That guy had wrapped an arm around his shoulders and sternly warned him: he was not allowed to miss any video calls, he must not take off his black-rimmed glasses again, and if anyone asked for his number or other contact info, unless it was for research purposes, he had to politely…

Originally, Lu Guifan thought Jiang Ruotang might be having such a great time that he’d forgotten all about him—but now, Lu Guifan only felt a deep, overwhelming ache. He suddenly understood why Jiang Ruotang always looked so happy and carefree during their video calls—because he never wanted to disturb Lu Guifan’s research. In Jiang Ruotang’s heart, all of Lu Guifan’s work and experiments were incredibly, incredibly important. Lu Guifan lay down beside him, still in his clothes, gently…
