A Slow Burn

[I’m more devoted than you could ever imagine.]

In the late summer of 2007, Xu Zhifei first met that younger boy at a fruit stand at the entrance to an alley.

She said, "Hey, kid, how about sharing half a watermelon with me?"

The second time she met him was the year she graduated from high school.

He snatched the cigarette from her hand and put it in his own mouth.

These were only the tiniest fragments of her youth.

She never imagined that she was Liu Ruiyang’s entire youth.
