The room was untouched, and the night outside was quiet as ever. Xiu Ma remained seated, facing the television, his expression calm and his eyes clear, but a deafening roar had just exploded in his mind. While the young master was lost in the mental equivalent of quarrying a mountain, Yu Tianbai let the smile fade from his face. He didn't know what Xiu Ma was feeling at this moment, but he could imagine, because he himself was hardly calm. Something was burgeoning inside him, pushing its way out, and…-

The dish was out of the wok. Yu Tianbai turned sideways to make room for Xiu Ma. The kitchen was not big, and he and the young master squeezed past each other between the cabinets for a good while, a dance of giving and taking, ebbing and flowing. "I wouldn't know how to drink the expensive stuff anyway. I'd have been satisfied if you brought me a bottle of Erguotou." Yu Tianbai pushed the whiskey deeper into the cabinet, lest he accidentally knock over the young master's several thousand…

Half an hour later, Yu Tianbai came out of the magnificent and brightly lit office, a postcard held between his fingers. He looked left and right for a moment before he found Xiu Ma leaning against the wall. "What are you thinking about?" Yu Tianbai circled around to his front. "You look so pale." Xiu Ma took several deep breaths as if waking from a long dream, straightened up, and answered him: "Nothing, just tired." "I was the one driving the whole way, how did you get tired?" Yu Tianbai was…

Going home, to Yu Tianbai’s home. Xiu Ma never thought he’d have one. The first time they met, Yu Tianbai was on the road, cigarette in his mouth, the wind blowing, carefree as could be. The second time, still on the road, their reunion lacked that same flair, but his free spirit remained, as if he didn’t belong to any city or place on the map of the North. He shouldn’t have a home—that suited him. Of course, except for his thick Beijing accent. So when Yu Tianbai first asked him, Xiu Ma…

In Mudanjiang, at ten in the morning, the fourth call Sun Jiu dialed was hung up. He stood in front of the glass factory’s gate, behind him a renovation crew unloading something from a flatbed truck. Sun Jiu wore sunglasses today and an engineering jacket, looking less like a big boss and more like a construction foreman. The crew finally unloaded the item onto the ground, and a worker approached, holding a clipboard, presenting it to Sun Jiu. “Boss, one life-sized, full-color statue of Guan…

What was this feeling like? One day, when you were still young, you upset your dad or mom, but just then, guests arrived at the house. They couldn’t lash out, so they pulled you along, chatting, laughing, offering snacks. You knew that once the guests left, your doom was coming. Even though Xiu Ma didn’t have normal parents, he still understood this logic. Ever-changing, yet always the same, Xiu Ma felt like he was about to die. How would he die? He didn’t know, and that was scarier than…

WHF Ch 47 – Gaze
Old Five walked through the snow. Snow blanketed the mountains and fields, white and dense, falling relentlessly. With no village ahead or behind, each step felt like sinking into a quilt of fresh cotton—neither cold nor tiring. Instead, he felt a warmth in his body, as cozy and peaceful as the New Year. Gradually, the path became clearer. He stood on the plain amidst the wind and snow, facing an asphalt road stretching from south to north, unmarked by signs or lines. He stood alone by the roadside,…-

So that’s how it was. So that’s why he went to the mountains to find his grandma—it was about his grandma. Yu Tianbai walked at the back of the group, thinking to himself. The sky was already darkening, the mountains and fields cloaked in a vibrant layer of blue. In the distant village, gray-white smoke rose faintly. Old Seven walked ahead, his steps lighter than the smoke. Ten minutes ago, at Grandma Tu’s grave, they had performed a splendid martial arts show. The performer was Xiu Ma,…

WHF Ch 45 – Expert
Changlin Village is small; from east to west, it takes only twenty minutes to walk. Old Seven dashed to the edge of the cropland in the blink of an eye, running toward the end of the road without any regrets. Since retiring from the military, Yu Tianbai had not run such a long distance in one go. He wanted to ask Xiu Ma if he had ever run this far, but now, with only enough strength to pant every two steps, he had no energy left to open his mouth. Old Seven wasn’t running toward the asphalt road; he…-

WHF Ch 44 – By Yu Tianbai’s side
I am a sinner. An hour after lunch, Yu Tianbai was still thinking this. So much so that when the matriarch came in with a large floral quilt, telling them the small room had no kang and they’d have to make do squeezing onto a small bed, Yu Tianbai only nodded politely with a smile. He stiffly spread out the bedding, watching the vibrant flowers bloom across the bed, less than a meter and eighty centimeters wide, before realizing what the Tu matriarch had been saying. The small room had no…-
