Summary
Life in Daguanyuan had taught him a lot. Even the bits of it were enough to make him realize everything — the luscious aftertaste that blossomed with acrid bitterness under his tongue even years later, the luster of a graceful life spent in the laziness and boredom of days dragging on endlessly in thick molasses: all this, trimmed in a golden pattern of fine lace, had no weight.
Jia Huan had tried many things in his life, and the heat of the baths was no great novelty to him. In fact, he even found it a slightly ironic proposition to keep Lei Heng — the capo himself! — company in the bath house, to brighten up another equally meager evening intoxicated with languid pleasure.
But still, this evening is exceptional and unique. It's unusual and oddly comforting.
