*Seeking bookmarks for the upcoming No Crime to Answer For~
My name is Fugui. I'm from Tai'an, Shandong, and I'm a poor farmer.
In July 1916, I boarded a ship bound for Marseille, just to stay alive.
When I arrived in Marseille, I wasn't sent to the factory I'd expected. I was sent to the battlefield instead.
Many people died. I survived.
In 1921, I was doing postwar cleanup on the Verdun battlefield when I met Mr. Zhao.
He was a student studying abroad. He had come to France to learn new technology and serve his country.
A student studying abroad. That's impressive.
He began teaching me to read and told me about family and country, and about a peaceful, prosperous age.
In 1922, after reading a few books, I said goodbye to Marseille and boarded a ship back to my homeland.
Together with my Mr. Zhao.

[01]
Lou Qiao still remembers the day he met Yi Wojiao. Sunlight fell over Yi Wojiao, who was surrounded by the fragrance of flowers.
Lou Qiao said, "I'd like to buy a bouquet, boss."
Yi Wojiao asked him, "For your girlfriend?"
Lou Qiao shook his head. "For my mother."
For some reason, as if compelled by some unseen force, Lou Qiao added, "I don't have a girlfriend."
[02]
Later, Yi Wojiao, soaked from head to toe, threw himself into Lou Qiao's arms and sobbed that his husband was abusing him.
Lou Qiao wanted to hold him, but stopped with his hands in midair at the word "husband."
Yi Wojiao begged him, "Please don't call him my husband in front of him. He doesn't like other people knowing about our relationship."
[03]
Later still, Yi Wojiao's husband was found lying dead in the street. The police asked Lou Qiao, "Were you with Yi Wojiao that night?"
Lou Qiao thought of that night, when Yi Wojiao had stripped naked in front of him. But then he remembered Yi Wojiao's husband and had fled in a panic.
Lou Qiao told the police, "Yes, we were together all night. If his husband isn't satisfied, I can offer compensation."
Thinking of the person who had become a corpse, the officer spoke hoarsely. "The deceased wasn't Yi Wojiao's husband. Neither of them was married."
[04]
Much later, Lou Qiao finally understood that all their encounters had been nothing more than Yi Wojiao's need for an eyewitness.
An eyewitness to provide him with an alibi.
"You can't prove I'm guilty."
"Then I should be acquitted."
Pairing: A charming, refined university professor seme (Lou Qiao) x an acting genius who never tells the truth uke (Yi Wojiao)
* The leads' names come from the Book of Songs, "At the East Gate": "I saw you like a mallow flower, and you gave me pepper."
* One-on-one, both are virgins, a pure little sweet story
Theme: Be the best version of yourself
The biggest feeling it gave me was like a glass of boiled water. It was very plain and natural. Although everyone was happy in the story, the relationship between the two of them still felt too subtle. It felt like a seed that was about to sprout and had stopped and wilted. It felt like I was a bit deceived by the copy... I like it but it is mixed with a feeling of loss. I wish the author can write better in the next article.
At first I thought Yang Shunde was a conservative and was careless 😂 The two of them slept together 😂
It makes me sad to think about it. France alone was defrauded of 140,000 workers.
It's so dreamy... I think Fugui led the farmers in his hometown to carry out ideological enlightenment after returning to China (and then he may have ge). Xu Jun studied abroad and may have ge. Maybe it is more realistic to return to China in 10 years or so...
(?`?Д??)!! Teacher, the Chinese version of part of the first volume of "Das Kapital" was only published in 1930. Is this the self-translated manuscript of Zhao Zimu...?
A native of Tai'an, Shandong? No, I saw the door of my house while reading a novel 😂
"There are only five hundred francs left." Did you miscalculate? It should be 100, right?
Madam, please write more about their daily life, or their life after this period.
Fugui feels like he is also the kind of thoughtful person
How like the dialogue between Marx and Engels (simply referring to what Pierre said)
