    Summary

    He’d followed Yifu’s directions. Driven up to the empty lot at the base of the mountain. Chucked the phone. Taken the last trail, then walked up. Then walked up. Then up walked up some more. Hollowed out his belly and his eyes and his core. Would he be able to cry even if he wanted to right now? He doesn’t know. He doesn’t fucking know.

It’s been nine years, they’ve both moved on with their lives; even if Zhou Zishu has held this sour coal of regret in his chest, Wen Kexing surely wouldn't -

    Summary

    Wen Kexing (part-time baker, college dropout) rescues a stranger on the street and takes him home for the night. And he's on his best behavior, because you don't hit on sick people with nowhere to go and no one to help them.

    Still, he can't shake the feeling that they've met before--even though, as Zhou Zishu keeps assuring him, they most definitely have not...

    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.

    Summary

    Wen Kexing stopped at the edge of the hallway and rubbed the back of his ear awkwardly. A year has passed since they last saw each other in person. Being relaxed around Zhou Zishu always takes him some getting used to after time spent apart. It was a problem unique to just him though, because the moment Zhou Zishu saw Wen Kexing, he clicked his tongue and lifted his chin in faux-annoyance. “Tsk, what are you doing standing there like a piece of wood?”

    He opened his arms wide. Wen Kexing obediently shuffled forwards into a hug, finding his voice to call him. “Ge.”
