Chapter 6: How Does He Know I’m Frivolous? If I’m frivolous, then there’s not a single decent person in this world. I turned, ready to confront Mochuan, when a pained whimper drifted in from outside. Moments later, a dark-skinned old woman, frail and supported by a young man and woman, shuffled into the hall. Mochuan shot to his feet, rounding the low table to meet them. “Pinjia! Pinjia!!” The old woman’s steps had been unsteady, but seeing Mochuan, she found some hidden strength.…-

Chapter 5: No One Is Worthy After dealing with the dog poop—scrubbing my hands front and back with soap, even digging into the nail crevices until my skin wrinkled and the tiny cuts on my palm turned pale—I shook them dry and trudged back to the front courtyard. Erqian was neatly tied to a pillar by the main hall, but Mochuan and the shattered flowerpot were nowhere in sight.

In that moment, I knew I was gay. Accepting my own difference was easy. The hard part was getting others to accept it too. In my sophomore year, a girl confessed to me.

In an instant, the faint trace of emotion on his face vanished, replaced by a polite curve of his lips, as if he genuinely rejoiced in our long-awaited reunion. Yan Chuwen said, “Bai Yin just arrived today. I’m taking him around for a casual look.

Chapter 1: None but the Divine May Touch The car jolted along, and I dozed off in a hazy slumber. Caught between dream and reality, my thoughts leaped through a kaleidoscope of bizarre scenes—one moment I was riding a roller coaster at an amusement park, the next I stood on the moon’s surface. In the blink of an eye, seasons shifted from cold to warm.
