Adrenaline sings through Zhou Zishu's veins. The last six months of cat-and-mouse have finally led him to this night, this city block, with his quarry so close he can practically taste him. The Ghost Valley leader Wen Kexing has eluded him for months, but Zhou Zishu will finally pin him down tonight.

Summary
Wen Kexing's voice reverberates through Zhou Zishu’s own body as he laughs and says, “You came.” Zhou Zishu shoves himself back before his body can get any inconvenient ideas. But then he looks up at Wen Kexing and has to bite back a groan.
He looks - oh he looks even better than Zhou Zishu remembers. He’s bare-faced, his long hair swept into a loose low ponytail behind his shoulder. A knit teal sweater drapes over his lean torso. Zhou Zishu has to wrench his gaze away from the way it falls over his hips; he remembers all too well exactly what they feel like against his own, sharp and insistent. Wen Kexing doesn’t even acknowledge the fact that he’s standing in the rain, holding the still very-much electrified whip in one hand seemingly without issue; he just smiles down at Zhou Zishu.Series

Summary
With his last burst of energy, Zhou Zishu turns down a maintenance hallway and huddles in the corner. He crouches at first, trying to at least stay on his feet. But he’s getting woozy, and eventually his shoes slip in the rapidly forming pool of his own blood. Then there’s the sound of heavy-booted footsteps approaching his foxhole, two pairs of them. Ah, so this is how I’ll die, he thinks. The idea almost makes him want to laugh - he’s survived countless knife’s edge encounters, and somehow two low-level thugs are going to get the pleasure of killing him. What a fucking waste.
