He Sui had spent seven years in Lijiang, running an inn in a corner of the old town and welcoming a steady stream of passersby.
Sometimes he woke early to gaze at the so-called "golden sunrise on the mountains," as unmoved as if he were inspecting caramel coating popcorn.
When he helped Sui Shi out at a bar, shouting over the music and lights, He Sui thought of it as nothing more than a short story to add a little flavor to his uneventful life.
People from all over the country crossed paths and parted ways in this city, nicknamed the "City of Romantic Encounters." If they caught each other's eye and sparks flew, so be it. If they weren't interested, they looked away and passed each other by, both understanding without a word.
He hadn't expected to run into someone different.
"You want to sleep with me?" Sui Shi asked coldly, his words blunt and stiff. "I'm not interested."
Fine. If he wasn't interested, they could just part ways.
He Sui had always been lazy to a fault. He couldn't be bothered to put effort into one-sided pursuits.
But a few days later, that face that perfectly matched his type appeared before him again. As if he had amnesia, the man lifted his camera and said, "Do me a favor, Boss He?"
