Sick

[Signed for an unabridged, unedited simplified-Chinese edition] Shi Nian has severe paranoid delusions. He's afraid of people, not ghosts. When Qiao Yu'an first met Shi Nian, Shi Nian mistook him for a ghost and even set out offerings for him. He also thought Qiao Yu'an wasn't dressed respectably enough, and wanted to burn him some spirit money so he could buy clothes. Qiao Yu'an: "..." * Lots of people say Shi Nian is sick. His classmates say it, his teachers say it, and so does his mother. But only Qiao Yu'an smiles at him and says, "What a coincidence. So am I." * Whenever Shi Nian gets scared, he hides himself away: in the closet, under the covers, anywhere no one can see him. Then one day, someone gently lifted the corner of his blanket. As light spilled in, Qiao Yu'an slipped inside, carefully keeping his distance, but still quietly asking him: "Can I hide with you?" * [Paranoid, solitary writer gong Shi Nian X easygoing, carefree doctor shou who'll happily lie down for love Qiao Yu'an] =Below is the blurb for my upcoming novel, "Didn't We Agree to Be Roommates and Leave Each Other Alone?"

Chen Shang didn't get a good impression of Xie Yin, either. He thought the guy seemed like a little firecracker, taking out his pent-up frustrations on him for reasons unknown. There was no reasoning with him, so all he could do was beat him up. He beat him pretty badly; when they parted, Xie Yin was still limping. They figured they'd never see each other again, but of all the places, they wound up renting the same house. One in the master bedroom, one in the second bedroom. One had run away from home, and the other was homeless. A friend asked, "What kind of fate brought you two together?" What kind of fate? A cursed one! "I think it's best if we leave each other alone," Xie Yin declared, drawing a clear line between them on his very first day after moving in. Chen Shang was more than happy to agree. "Fine." Later, the one who'd said they should leave each other alone refused to leave the master bedroom. Chen Shang tried to kick him out, but he clung to his blanket and refused to let go, arguing, "I don't do long-distance relationships." How did the master and second bedrooms make it a long-distance relationship? Chen Shang didn't understand. What he understood even less was: "When did I agree to date you?" The little firecracker only got more fired up. "If you won't date me, are you asking me to be your friend with benefits?" Chen Shang: "..." =Below is the blurb for my upcoming novel, "Finding Him in Desperate Straits."

The man climbed up seven stories with his bare hands like Spider-Man and rescued a child dangling outside a window. He radiated vitality, and Wen Shaochen felt his blood run hot just watching him. Later, Wen Shaochen learned his name was Jiang Jin, and that he was the leader of a civilian rescue team. The rescue team was expanding, so Wen Shaochen applied for a position as a doctor. He wanted to save people, and he hoped Jiang Jin could save him, too. -- Jiang Jin first saw Wen Shaochen when he had just returned from outside, covered in mud. He bumped into a strikingly handsome man, but the man brushed past him without so much as a glance. "What's his name?" Jiang Jin asked the colleague who came out afterward. "Wen Shaochen." Wen Shaochen... He was good-looking, and even his name sounded good. -- Later, the two became coworkers. Since Wen Shaochen kept drawing close to him, Jiang Jin always looked at him like a wolf eyeing its prey. Wen Shaochen didn't feel offended. He even walked over and leaned close to Jiang Jin's ear, asking softly: "Captain Jiang, you always look at me like that. Do you want to fuck me?"
