    Summary

    Sand knows exactly what Ray is doing–the coquettish flutter of his eyelashes, his open body language, his laughter that goes louder at times, higher-pitched. He fits right in with the girls here, rather than the patrons.

    Summary

    Three months. He’ll stay three months. Just long enough for that shrimpy Zhang Chengling to wean into this new world, and then he’ll leave. Just three months he’ll allow himself that brassy, beautiful line cook, who barked the most flirtatious insult at Zhou Zishu as he charged down the cracked asphalt with a towering pallet jack of wholesale soy sauce boxes; his voice magnetic like an army general’s, clear above the rumbling gallop of his condiment fleet.

    -

    chaperoning a new orphan across the Pacific runs into complications.

    Summary

    Peeled out of his many robes, Wen Kexing’s body reveals itself to be mostly leg. He strips eagerly, grinning up at Zhou Zishu as if this is another joke between them. See? Wen Kexing’s body seems to say, I have no secrets from you.

    Summary

    “What’s next?” Wen Kexing finds that he doesn't want to know, but he asks anyway.

    “Scent, touch, hearing, and then sight.”

    He pulls Zhou Zishu’s face down to his neck. “What’s this smell?”

    “Um, the green bottle with the cork—no, the agate stopper—on the stool next to the bathtub.”

    Wen Kexing lets him go, reassured at least by that. He thinks for a while, and needles out, “So all this time, I’ve been cooking for someone who can’t even taste the hard work I put in.”

    -

    cooking for a dying person in the shadow of his old home, until his self-destruct button can be safely turned off.

    The ringing in Zhou Zishu's ears gets louder. “No, Wangye,” he says.

    At Zhou Zishu’s voice, the prisoner freezes.
