[Full manuscript ready. Updates daily at 18:00. Complete on June 2. Leave a comment if there's an extra chapter you'd like to see~]

In late summer 2004, at the mouth of an alley in a southern city's old neighborhood,

he ran a night stall, cooking in silence, never speaking of love;

she lived across the hall, full of youthful energy and literary talent.

She thought she'd only stay for a few months,

but she never imagined that beneath the most ordinary roof,

someone would keep her there with a bowl of fried rice noodles and his silence.

"Don't come near me when I faint."

"But I don't come near you because I want to see you faint."

A rental-apartment story, life in the sweltering South...

Reader's guide:

The male lead runs a snack stall and suffers from vertigo.

The female lead is a university student about to graduate.

[I originally planned to finish after another 60,000 words, and complete the full manuscript on the 18th. But inspiration struck for another story, so I cut out a lot of material from this one. The full manuscript is now ready.]

[Mini-length, under 100,000 words.]

[Leave a comment if there's a type of bonus chapter you'd like to see. I only have one planned for now...]
