I Trained for a Thousand Years During the Three Days I Was Gone

No angst for the scum. Read with caution. Chu Lin was abandoned overseas by his scumbag boyfriend and the boyfriend's equally awful friends. After an earthquake, everyone thought he was dead. Three days after disappearing, he came back. Only, he was no longer the naive young man of 21. When Chu Lin appeared before the scumbags again, he was dressed in white, with long silver-white hair, like an immortal who had descended to the mortal world. The scumbag boyfriend's friends: A ghost! Chu Lin: Everyone else calls me Master. You call me a ghost?! Upcoming novel: The Allure of Farming, modern pastoral romance Gentle older seme | Fishing village tycoon Sheng Mu Energetic puppy-like younger uke | Orchard owner Su Xiayang Su Xiayang decided to move back to the village. The city was full of towering buildings and dazzling neon lights. He'd seen so much that it tired his eyes, and he kept thinking of the green meadows and babbling streams back home. Living away from home, eating instant noodles and takeout, he often thought of his mother's tomato and egg stir-fry. Buying citrus for 50 yuan a pound also made him miss the little mandarins his father grew. No more rat race. I'm going home to farm! But he'd only been away for a year. Why had the meadow become a campsite? Why was there a row of fully kitted-out fishing enthusiasts sitting by the stream? Even the little house his family owned had been rented out and turned into a cafe called Golden Hour? A handsome man sat in the cafe on that afternoon, holding a book as he leaned against a fabric sofa. One finger rested against his forehead, and his long legs were crossed... Su Xiayang: So elegant! He's far too elegant! Did I come back to the wrong village? No, this isn't a village. It's Paris Fashion Week! As Su Xiayang peeked around, the man looked up and asked with a smile, "Who are you looking for?" Su Xiayang: ... I can't exactly say I'm looking for my parents. That would make me sound like an orphan. Sheng Mu saw the person standing against the light, as radiant as the summer sun... Later, he learned the young man's name: Su Xiayang.
