This is Yu Yang's seventh year since he came to the British island, five of which he spent with that bastard Qi Mu.
"Tell me, are there lake monsters in the Thames?" Qi Mu lay on the railing of London Bridge, staring down at the river.
"I don't know." Yu Yang answered honestly, "But there is a lake monster in the river. Doesn't that make sense?"
Qi Mu turned his head and stared at Yu Yang for a while, then laughed.
The golden sunlight cast a halo on Qi Mu, and he smiled like an angel or a Bodhisattva who saves all sentient beings.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable if you don't tear me down?" Qi Mu put his arm around Yang Yang's neck and whispered in his ear, "You will feel better when you go back."
"What's the point of suffering?" Yu Yang also turned his head and pecked Qi Mu quickly on the mouth, "I've always been suffering."
Yu Yang thought they were about to compose a soul-stirring London love waltz, with a brisk beginning, an exciting middle, and a long and satisfying ending. However, he did not expect that the rest could come so suddenly.
Qi Mu returned to China, and Yu Yang stayed at a technology and finance company in London, commuting every day by subway across the north and south shores.
He imagined the subway as a giant lake monster, oh no, a river monster, roaring through the bottom of the Thames.
Yu Yang didn't dare to hope that their music would usher in a second chapter.
Two years later, Qi Mu said hello to him on the swipe-left app.
