■Story Blurb■

Cen Shen is a consummate minimalist. She owns only ten items of clothing, two pairs of pants, and four pairs of shoes for the entire year, and keeps fewer than a hundred personal essentials.

She nearly threw away her 1.8-meter bed in the name of decluttering, but stopped herself in time once she decided to pursue her younger boyfriend.

She has always been content to live alone, ready to pack a suitcase and roam the world at any moment.

But then Li Ta came along...

Li Ta wants a pet, but pets need food, water, litter, toys, and all sorts of things? But he's so cute! Buy it!

Li Ta wants to learn to cook, which means buying pots, pans, dishes, oil, salt, vinegar, and soy sauce. But he's going to cook for me! Buy it!

Li Ta wants to work out. Can't he just go to the gym? But his skin is so fair... Buy it!

A yoga mat, buy it!

Dumbbells, buy them!

Resistance bands, buy them!

A foam roller, buy it!

What else do you need? I'll buy it all for you!

Li Ta: "Once I bring it all home, are you going to throw it away?"

Cen Shen: (Feeling wronged, but still wanting to buy it all for him.)

Cut Through the Alley

Blurb:

Lin Sinian is impatient by nature. Riding a bicycle is like piloting a rocket, and he's been lucky enough to hit only telephone poles over the years.

But on the first day of school, he forgot to check his horoscope. On his way home, he crashed into someone at a street corner, scraping the clean, neatly pressed pant leg with his wheel.

The man didn't hold it against Lin Sinian. He asked an auntie nearby for directions. She said, "Take the road up ahead, go straight, then turn at the end and you'll be there." He didn't understand her.

Lin Sinian hurried after him like a puppy, patting the red scarf that wasn't there on his chest. "Just take the road up ahead. Keep going straight, and when you reach the end, turn the corner and you'll be there."

"Thank you."

Lin Sinian: ??? He didn't even ask if he should turn left or right?

Lin Sinian walked his bike behind the man. He wasn't a stalker, really. He'd just noticed that the place the man was heading to seemed to be his own home...

On his first day back in the country, Yao Dianzheng knew no one and had no idea where he was. All he could hear was Sichuanese he could barely understand. The only person he could understand was a boy in a school uniform.

"That boy seems worried I'll get lost. He's been following behind me the whole time."

Later, it turned out the boy was not only worried he would get lost, but also that he wouldn't be able to adapt to the conveniences of life back home. He didn't know how to use his phone to take the bus or subway, pay the utility bills, shop online, order takeout, put on a fitted sheet or duvet cover, or even use a comforter...

Wait, this seems to be heading in a different direction.

Theme: Don't become arrogant or extravagant when life is going well, and don't lose heart when times are hard. Take life seriously, and cherish the people who love you and the people you love.
