“My name is Ji Hongzhe. Ji from ‘commemorate’, Hong from ‘Xu Beihong’, and Zhe from ‘philosophy’. I’m a junior from next door. They all call me Brother Zhe. What’s your name?” The young man, dripping with sweat, looked at her with a mischievous smile. “No way, we all call you Brother Ji!” someone shouted from…

By now, Zhan Xi had become familiar with Luo Jingyu’s kitchen. When she came over for meals, she would stay by Little Fish’s side watching him cook, knowing where all the pots and utensils were kept. While he cooked, Zhan Xi would tug at his sleeve to make him turn and look at her when…

Luo Jingyu wore a black wool coat with the gray scarf Zhan Xi gave him. Though his coat didn’t have a hood, he still wore a mask. Through his curved eyes, Zhan Xi could tell he was smiling. “Little Fish!” she exclaimed in surprise and delight, her eyes shining. “Why are you here?” Luo Jingyu…

When an artist – whether they sing, act, make pottery, or paint – has created notable works, won awards, and received public recognition and approval, their name becomes added value…

“350,000, this year” These were the words Luo Jingyu typed on his phone. Zhan Xi couldn’t bring herself to lift her head for a long time. Thinking of what she had just said, how ridiculous! She only made 7,500 a month, yet she dared to worry about money on behalf of someone making 350,000 a…

Luo Jingyu received a long message from Zhan Xi, which startled him. He thought something had happened. After reading it carefully, he finally understood the situation. Egg Pudding: Little Fish, I’m sorry, but I told Director Dong about your situation without your permission. I thought if I didn’t say anything, the business might not work…

They sat close together, side by side. Zhan Xi could clearly smell the cool, slightly bitter herbal scent unique to Luo Jingyu. She had gotten used to it now – as long as she didn’t inhale too deeply, she wouldn’t sneeze. In the middle of the living room, boards, screws, and tools were spread all…
