PD Chapter 10: I’m Gay
Wen Xunchuan slept right through to the evening for a good, long nap. When he woke up, he glanced at his phone to check the time. Seeing he still had plenty, he sat on the bed, spacing out a little. A few years back, after graduating from college, he came out to his family, which caused some serious tension between them. In a fit of frustration, he’d moved out, a move that only seemed to deepen the rift with his parents, leaving their relationship practically frozen over. Luckily, in the past…-

PD Chapter 9: Rejection
“Ding–” “Ding–” “Ding–” Wen Xunchuan cracked open his sleepy eyes, reaching out to grab the phone on his bedside table that was rudely interrupting his slumber. He glanced at the screen: He hit “reject” without hesitation and shoved the phone under his pillow, closing his eyes to sleep again. “Ding–” “Ding–” Having only slept for two hours since returning from the hospital, Wen Xunchuan was getting more and more irritated as his sleep kept…-

PD Chapter 8: Hospital
A strange numbness spread through Wen Xunchuan’s right arm, slowly pulling him back to consciousness. He opened his eyes, inhaling the familiar scent of disinfectant. It must’ve been late at night; the infusion hall outside the emergency room was nearly empty. On the wall in front of him, an old TV show played silently on the screen, and the quiet was so deep that even a soft cough could disrupt the peace. As he attempted to sit up, a sensation like thousands of ants gnawing at his arm engulfed him,…-

PD Chapter 7: The Blessed Mouth
When He Linzhou leaned over to kiss him, the bridge of his high nose brushed against the tip of Wen Xunchuan’s. His warm breath evenly spread across Wen Xunchuan’s face. In that instant, Wen Xunchuan felt as if he’d been struck by lightning. His body tensed, his breath caught, and all he could feel was the flutter of He Linzhou’s thick eyelashes, like soft fan blades lightly sweeping around his lower eyelids. The refreshing scent on He Linzhou’s body slipped into Wen Xunchuan’s nose, like a…-

PD Chapter 6: A… Kiss?!
Wen Xunchuan, following Wen Zhixu’s request, parked the car in front of a pet shop not far from his place. Before getting out, Wen Zhixu reminded him uneasily, “Better not drive out tonight.” Wen Xunchuan sighed helplessly and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll call for a driver when I come back.” After Wen Zhixu left, Wen Xunchuan started the car and drove off in the opposite direction. The supermarket was packed on Friday night. He pushed his shopping cart through the crowd, finally…-

After sending off his last patient, Wen Xunchuan took off his glasses, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair to rub his tired eyes. His phone buzzed a few times in his pocket—someone sent him a WeChat message. He pulled out his phone and checked. • Brother Chuan, coming to Forbidden Color tonight for some fun? • It’s been a while. I kinda miss you. • Wen Xunchuan clicked on the other person’s profile picture and looked through his selfies in his Moments feed, finally…

As dusk settled in, the dilapidated old neighborhood was unusually quiet in the twilight. Only a few street lamps lined the path beside the residential building, their light dimly struggling through the thick, dusty lampshades, casting a faint yellow glow. The rumbling sound of a suitcase being dragged on the uneven cement ground was especially jarring in this silent setting. The sound came closer and closer until a stretched shadow emerged on the path by the building—a tall, slender boy slowly…

All the good impressions Wen Xunchuan had for the guy in front of him evaporated in an instant as soon as he realized their vibes didn’t match at all. The hint of laughter in his eyes faded ruthlessly. He wanted to pull his hand back, but his wrist was firmly gripped by the other guy. Wen Xunchuan looked up at him, raising an eyebrow, clearly annoyed. “Dude, what’s the meaning of this?” The guy leaned closer, a smirk curling at his lips. “What do you think?” His breath fell directly…

“Brother Chuan, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you out!” The music in the bar was deafening. The boy, seemingly afraid that he wouldn’t be heard, scooted closer, pressing his chest lightly against Wen Xunchuan’s arm as he spoke in a half-teasing tone, “What have you been up to? Got yourself a girlfriend?” Maybe it was the dizzying lights and the clinking of glasses overhead, or perhaps it was the few strong drinks he had downed that blurred his mind, but Wen Xunchuan found himself…
