Love and desire may fade, but a meeting of minds will not

Qiao Chu had a habit.

Every Wednesday, at the Raven Tavern, she went out to have fun.

No asking about the past, no talking about the future. They parted at dawn.

"Pass the drink to the person you'd most like to kiss."

A glass was held out to her. Qiao Chu followed its direction with her gaze.

High cheekbones, bright eyes, and a fine sheen of sweat on her forehead.

Between adults, a single look was all it took to understand each other. Then came sweet nothings that even ghosts wouldn't believe.

The next morning, she woke early as usual and left first.

Before the door closed, she glanced at the person still sleeping soundly in bed, then walked away without a backward glance.

After a brief indulgence came the dull, busy routine of everyday life. Nothing would be any different.

She got home at night.

The elevator doors slowly shut, and the car began to rise.

Ding

As the elevator doors opened, the door to the apartment next door, which had been empty for years, opened too.

A familiar face appeared before her: the very person she'd seen just the night before.

"Looks like we're neighbors... Let's get acquainted. I'm Yu Rang. What's your name?"

"Qiao Chu."

I'm My Teeth Are Bad. So happy to meet you~
