The Wild Dog's Covetous Gaze

Xu Pei took off his gloves after finishing a tattoo and walked out of the room with a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes lazy and languid.

A broad-shouldered, long-legged high school boy stood there, seemingly deaf to the teasing around him. He just stared at Xu Pei and said, "Bro, I have a competition on Sunday. Will you come watch?"

Everyone in their circle said that Xu Pei, who had always been adept at handling relationships, had somehow gotten involved with a high school boy. Now the kid was blocking his door every day, chasing after him for an answer.

Xu Pei found Song Xuan's passionate pursuit utterly exasperating and exhausting.

Song Xuan had never been an option in Xu Pei's field of vision.

That was until the boy charged into his world again and again, stubborn and burning with passion, expressing his love as if he were willing to get himself battered and bloody for it.

Xu Pei's heart softened.

Once he gave in out of compassion, there would be a second time, then countless more. In the end, before he knew it, he'd fallen for him.

Behind his swim goggles, his gaze was dry and pale. Song Xuan held his breath and sank into the blue lane, driving forward with both arms and cleaving through the water like an arrow.

Xu Pei was seated in the stands on the left.

The sharp beep sounded as Song Xuan stretched out his right arm and touched the tiled pool wall. On the enormous electronic display, the number one appeared beside his name.

The distance between me and the sea is how far I am from Xu Pei.

Song Xuan raised both hands and slammed them hard against the water, sending up countless splashes. The veins stood out on his neck as he ripped off his goggles.

If you're that far away, then I'll swim right up to you, until you see me.

Song Xuan looked toward the stands with red-rimmed eyes. His lips formed the silent words, "Bro, can you see me now?"

Xu Pei leapt down from the stands and ran toward the pool.

Sincere puppies are loved.
