    Summary

    “Too much history, not enough time to explain.” The man—Porsche—pulls out his phone. “Call your brother while I do what I can.” He puts on gloves and pulls out a pair of scissors, making quick work of his sleeve.

    Macau takes the phone with shaky, bloody hands and makes several attempts to type in the numbers. When he manages, Vegas’ number comes up as a single “red X” emoji. Oh, he thinks. Well, he doesn’t know what to say to that.

    Vegas picks up on the first ring.

    Summary

    Porsche notices him the second he steps through the door.

    How could he not? He’s spent plenty of time in recent months being shown pictures of his face, or hearing his voice crooning through the speakers of Chay’s old laptop. The slightly crackly sound quality doing nothing to dampen the sweet harmonies of the artist’s haunting love songs. Porsche might be as familiar with this man as he is his own flesh and blood, considering the amount of time he has spent hearing about the imminent release of his first single and recounts of various interviews he has done on small time music blogs or segments on local radios that focus on up and coming talent.

    It’s Wik.

    Summary

    “Daozhang, the truth is, I’m so ugly only a blind person could love me.”

    The plaintive lilt to the words could be mournful or teasing. With his clever young friend, it’s difficult to discern. Sometimes he’s steeped in bitterness. Sometimes he’s laughing at an unspoken jest.

    When Xiao Xingchen takes in a wounded stranger, he doesn’t expect him to stay.

    Summary

    “To the merging of the Wu and Zhang families,” his uncle toasts with a raise of his glass. "It's not what I'd hoped for in terms of securing the future of our family, as you know, but at least it's better than nothing."

    Wu Xie blinks at him and raises his glass to take a drink while he tries to figure out what’s happening. There aren’t that many members of the Zhang family that his uncle has had dealings with. Xiaoge would have mentioned something if he’d entered into some sort of arrangement with his uncle. Perhaps his Ershu has made some sort of business deal with Zhang Rishan.

    OR

    Five times Wu Xie didn't know he was dating Zhang Qiling but everyone else did, and one time he figured it out (with some help)
