Autumn in the RV

[Yunnan-Tibet Highway Story + Road Trip + Happy Ending + Slow Burn + Daily Life]

A new novel by the award-winning, well-known author Yang Shan.

It was never published, but he posted it online as a free document.

The general plot:

After the scummy top runs off, he regrets it and comes crawling back to the bottom, begging for forgiveness.

After enduring a series of "tortures" like kneeling on a keyboard, hugging a durian, and walking on his shoulders, he eventually dies by accident, is buried in a dirt mound, and has the soil patted down on him with a shovel by the bottom.

Readers:

Has my literary giant gone mad?

What the hell is this? Even ants moving house or a drunk dancing would be better than what you wrote.

Trash author. Who wants to read this kind of melodramatic garbage?

After reading it N times, readers began to analyze and debate it in depth.

One comment quickly rose to the top:

"Am I the only one who thoroughly enjoyed this as a melodramatic BL story? I just want to ask, if the bottom acts up like this, won't the top run away?"

A string of replies followed: "Would anyone really be the top?"

Su Tianshui, who wrote under the pen name Yang Shan, saw the comment, deleted it with a cold expression, and shut his laptop.

The clean white page on his desk calendar read: 90 days+

Chi Li had been gone for exactly three months and still hadn't come crawling back to beg for forgiveness!

Fine.

Su Tianshui pushed his keyboard aside and packed his bags.

Some people who run away from home won't come back on their own. He'd have to go catch him himself.

At first, his plan was: find Chi Li, kiss him, ask him why he'd run away, then take him home.

Then came the revised plan: Who's Chi Li? He can come back if he wants. Don't bother me while I'm on my RV road trip.

Chi Li: I was wrong. Look at me.

At first, all he wanted was to head west and find him.

Later, all he wanted was to enjoy the country's magnificent scenery along the way.

A group of people bicker and laugh as they take an RV road trip west.

Later, a travel vlog accidentally went viral, and everyone realized:

"So that melodramatic short story was just showing off their love."

"I was wrong! The little writer and the archaeologist are such a perfect match. I'm obsessed!"

"I want to go on a road trip too."

The G27 Highway stretches westward, passing endless snow-capped mountains, temples of old tiles and red bricks, and grass breathing in the wind. Beneath the clouds, colorful prayer flags ripple in the sky screen. You might look up and chance upon snow falling on Wushan, or lower your gaze and lie beneath the cloud shadows over Tianshui. There is the sound of guitar strings, a sea of stars in the camera, and a theater bestowed by heaven beneath a quiet twilight sky.

They gather joyfully on the road, and hope to spend their whole lives encountering beauty without end.

Archaeologist x well-known author

●Here's another little scene from the book~ I really can't write blurbs (rabbit ears drooping)

"Let me tell you a story about Chi Li and me."

At Anali, Su Tianshui gazed up at the snowy mountains. The distant peaks shone like the moon as he softly turned everything before him into a story:

"That year, the grass in Anali was yellow and dry across the land. I climbed the stone steps covered in prayer flags, going against the current. He stood on the colorful steps. The first snow of winter fell. It was cold. Snow landed on his head, and all he said was, 'Until we meet again.'"

"I knew he was going to leave me behind again."

"That's how things are between us. No matter how many times we part, we always end up facing each other again."

"Until we meet again. A long, long time."

"And then?"

Chi Li bent down from the colorful stone steps to listen as he continued making up his story, snow falling from his hair onto the white ground.

"Then I said I was getting altitude sickness. Just like now, when I collapsed into his arms."

"Don't go."

"I won't."

"It's fine if you do."

Chi Li: "?"

Travel Guide:

●Waving the tour guide flag~ Attention, travelers! This reading journey is a road-trip story, and the geography has been fictionalized for the sake of the plot. In reality, the trip would probably start in Yunnan, enter Tibet, pass through Nyingchi, and end in Lhasa.

●You'll be passing high-altitude snow-capped mountains, so please bring down jackets and oxygen! I hope the slow burn won't leave you cold (bites handkerchief and cries).

●The top ran away from home for a reason. His side of the story will explain it~

●They'll be traveling in a small RV on a self-drive trip~

Premise: Always keep your hopes and dreams for another side of life.
