    Summary

    Summary

    There's a scandalous thrill to pressing on a bruise for the sheer pleasure of it. Wen Qing likes the whine in his throat, the way his pulse quickens beneath her fingertips, the shake in his voice as he explains how he came to obtain them.

    Summary

    The silence that followed was absolute. Somewhere outside, a bird called. The world had not, apparently, ended. "Which….which lesson?”

     
    Xie Lian smiled a serene, terrible smile that looked so deeply wrong on a face still wet and glistening with Hua Cheng's juices. "The calligraphy one, of course."

     

    ——
    Or: Xie Lian takes his job as a calligraphy teacher very seriously. Hua Cheng takes his job as a distraction even more seriously. But when a pre-heat catches Hua Cheng off guard, the student becomes the subject, and the desk becomes much more than a place to practice brush strokes.

    Summary

    It starts with her car dying, but it doesn’t end with just that.

     

    "If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will of course frantically try to clamber out. But if you place it gently in a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low, it will float there quite placidly. As the water gradually heats up, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot bath, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly allow itself to be boiled to death."
