Black and White Together: Three Kilometers

When Bai Yufu wakes up, his memories of Fu Jinhui are little more than fragments.

All that remains are the tiger clan’s cold stares, the branch family’s bullying, and the silhouette of someone dressed in black. Instinctively, he decides this person is the source of all his suffering. Five years later, he returns to the Alliance as an S+ mutated Guide: cool, guarded, and quick to take revenge, keeping everyone at arm’s length with polite reserve. Yet whenever Fu Jinhui comes close, his heart races and his hands shake. In his dreams, he curls up in Fu Jinhui’s arms.

Fu Jinhui spent five whole years searching for him.

As head of the tiger clan and the Alliance’s strongest Sentinel, he never offers an explanation. Bai Yufu hates him, so he gives way. Bai Yufu avoids him, so he protects him from the shadows. When the lion clan elders send one gifted Sentinel after another to hunt Bai Yufu, Fu Jinhui turns them all away. When a catastrophe erupts from the Void rifts, he charges into the front lines, covered in blood but still making sure Bai Yufu is safe first.

Everyone says Fu Jinhui is cold-blooded and heartless. Yet deep in Bai Yufu’s mental landscape, on the frost wall covered with the names of his enemies, the name “Fu Jinhui” has never appeared.

Their fated bond cannot be severed. Even three kilometers apart, the dull pain in their minds forces them closer. The harder they resist, the more violent the backlash. When awake, Bai Yufu builds high walls around himself. In his dreams, he winds his tail around Fu Jinhui’s wrist.

When the lion clan’s traitor is exposed and the truth behind the seal on Bai Yufu’s memories begins to emerge, he finally understands: the man he misunderstood, ignored, and pushed away for five years was the only one who had protected him from beginning to end.

The miasma cannot be eradicated, but the rifts can be suppressed. Misunderstandings can be resolved, but wounds take time to heal. This time, he will be the one to go to him.

Black and white return as one, untouched by a thousand evils.
