    Summary

    “Do you know him?” Jin Wang asks.

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

    At Zhou Zishu’s voice, the prisoner freezes.

    Or: Jin Wang tries another way to get Zhou Zishu back.

    Summary

    He couldn’t find anything in Wen Kexing’s body that should be keeping him from waking; it stood to reason that it was his mind that was the problem. Zhou Zishu probably knew Wen Kexing’s mind as well as anyone else alive or dead, and he doubted it was straightforward. So he read about the techniques of Healer Valley, and held Wen Kexing’s wrist or his hand or his cool cheek. The prevailing theory was that the best way to settle a person’s mind for them was in dreams. After all, wasn’t it dreams that told the truth when nothing else would?

    Zhou Zishu wasn’t sure that was true. And he didn’t imagine that Wen Kexing would appreciate having his secrets dragged into the light that way. But frankly it was his own fault; it wasn’t as though he’d left Zhou Zishu any choice. If Wen Kexing would only wake up, he would welcome his complaints.

    Summary

    Zhou Zishu has never believed in the concept of soulmates, not really. Sure, he’s seen the “heart-warming” videos online of these couples supposedly meeting for the first time in this life, the soft gasps and dramatic embraces. Even if they didn’t seem completely staged - really, what are the chances that so many reincarnated lovers would find each other on camera - he still would be skeptical.

    This belief lasts thirty years, right up until the moment that Zhou Zishu is taking his morning run through the park near his house.

    Summary

    “You can go on, if you want,” he said when Zhou Zishu stopped for breath. “Scold and punish me for seven years, then I will scold you for the next seven, and then we’ll have to find something else to do.”

    The thought of years took any other words out of his mouth. Zhou Zishu had gotten used to measuring time in thimblefuls. A New Year’s day, a drift of peach blossoms blown off the trees: each one, perhaps, the last he would see. There wasn’t a container in his mind big enough to hold years, decades, centuries.

His death, racing through the streets of Nightless City with his sister in the passenger seat, the moment when his luck finally ran out.

    10 years later, Mo Xuanyu enters his first street race.
