"Go" is a very ordinary word, but when changed to "run away," its nature becomes completely different. In the scorching heat of July, during the aimless summer vacation, in the relaxed city of Liancheng where everything from its people to its nature was languid, I turned my back on the forces that were, to me, irresistible at that moment, and set off towards my destiny. Fortunately, I had someone to accompany me on this lonely journey, because someone had agreed to run away with me. So what other…-

The father and son went out. After looking left and right, Mother Gu decided not to stay indoors for long either. She said: “I’ll just… I’ll just go out and see if they need any help.” After saying that, she put on her high heels and ran off so fast that one could say she disappeared in a cloud of dust. The door closed. The sound of wind blowing through the leaves came from the crack in the window, and then there was no other sound. I stood where I was, holding my breath and listening. I…

Of course, I couldn't just ignore the fact that my parents suspected I might have a girlfriend and run off to have a private rendezvous with him. That would be walking right into my parents'—mainly my mom's—line of fire. So I had to find someone to take the fall for me. In the second month after my mom suspected I was secretly dating a girlfriend, I felt that her suspicions about me had faded. I came home with a top-notch report card to ask for credit and rewards. As my mom tried her best to…

It seemed their identities were more complicated than I had imagined. I pulled over a stool from the side, sat on the edge of the bed, next to him. The sky outside was starting to turn an azure blue. The sun would set soon, and the wind would be more comfortable after sunset. Liu Jiang flicked off the cigarette ash and looked at the sky in the distance: “Our two families knew each other before I was born. His parents and my parents were colleagues. The two families took care of each other, and…

You have a mouth, don’t you? I wanted to ask too! My smile was no less than his. I retorted with the fastest speed: “Then why are you here?” The smell of gunpowder in my words was about to burst out, but Liu Jiang grabbed my arm. I subconsciously wanted to shake his hand off, but when I turned my face, I suddenly saw that his expression was not quite right. Compared to the time he tried to make peace when he saw the two of us at odds, what Liu Jiang was showing now was a kind of…

The first text message was from May. The message content: It looked very much like a scam text message offering a large sum for a surrogate child. Although Qin Bowen was fake, he wasn’t stupid enough for that, so he didn’t reply at all. The person on the other end quickly felt that this was too abrupt and sent another message: …What kind of pornographic movie line is this?!! But it was obvious that such a line did indeed catch Qin Bowen’s attention. After a few exchanges, the other…

Once they neared the buildings by the main road, Liu Sisi stopped the van. Everyone in the van held their breath and looked at Qin Bowen, which in turn made him feel restless. I made a decision for him, letting the people in the van stay where they were, while Liu Jiang and I would get out with him to find a quiet place to listen to what this “instigation” he mentioned was all about. Under the streetlight, in front of a row of unsold storefronts, he was somewhat hesitant to speak the truth, but…

Qin Bowen. Surname Qin, given name Bowen, courtesy name Student Council Lapdog—given by me. He was the most typical kind of petty person from one’s student days. A petty person who achieves success is the most terrifying, especially when the person who let him succeed was Liu Dayang, who was on par with him. The two of them got together and congratulated each other on their appointments. Reporting them to the authorities was no longer effective at this point, so we needed a lone hero who only…

It took me some effort to fix the simulation equipment again. First, the power to the office was out. After I finally managed to climb up from the floor of the conference room, I noticed that the office space beyond the blinds was darker than usual. It wasn’t because of the weather, but because the simulation had just generated some sort of massive electrical current, causing the office circuit to overload and trip. I climbed to the top floor to confirm that the generator's circuit was not…

The next day was a sunny day, I’m talking about in Liancheng. Under the sunny sky, everything was very clear, and the telltale signs of bad students had nowhere to hide. Therefore, Liu Jiang and I were successfully caught by our homeroom teacher and were both invited to the dean’s office. Old Diao was presiding. First, he asked about Liu Jiang’s hair, and second, about yesterday’s truancy. The two of us just kept our heads down and admitted our mistakes, successfully earning ourselves a…
