A Vicious Old Hound

Tao Huainan is blind, and Chi Cheng is a wild dog he picked up. Ten years of growing up. In those ten years with Chi Cheng, Tao Huainan went from a little blind boy to a blind adult. When they were young and innocent, they held hands and promised, "I'll always stay with you. I won't let you feel as sad as I do now." But in the end, it became nothing more than something they'd said as children. Many years later, one night at three in the morning, Tao Huainan is still awake. His phone is open to the text messages. He dictates message after message, then deletes them one by one, spending half the night revising and cutting them down. It's his usual insomnia game, but tonight he slips up. His phone slides, and his finger hits send instead of delete. The sent notification chimes at once, leaving one message in the empty chat box: Puppy. Title is tentative. This story has a certain degree of control and is not suitable for readers who are strongly possessive of either the top or the bottom. Children have to grow up slowly, and they'll inevitably make mistakes along the way. Theme: We all grow up, little by little, and become better people.
