    Summary

    See chapters 1 & 4 for fan art

    Lu Guang has always treasured silence—the quiet hours after midnight, the space to think, to read, to exist untouched by the chaos of the world. But when Cheng Xiaoshi is left hovering between life and death in a sterile hospital room, silence becomes something else entirely.

    For the first time since fate intertwined them with a hurtling basketball to the head, Lu Guang cannot hear him. No laughter. No reckless commentary. No shared consciousness tethering them through time.

    Just the unbearable weight of his absence.

    Memories of restless nights, unspoken confessions and longing surface and Lu Guang is forced to confront a terrifying truth with the help of Qiao Ling and a cryptic box of photos: loving Cheng Xiaoshi has become the axis on which his world turns.

    Because some silences aren’t peaceful.

    Without the promise of Cheng Xiaoshi, they are unbearable.

    Summary

    “I know you,” Cheng Xiaoshi says. “I can tell when you’re not okay.”

    Lu Guang is quiet for a long time. He holds his mug in both hands and lets out this shaky breath like the world is ending. “On September thirteenth, just after midnight,” he starts, “you will be shot, and you will die.”
    |
    In which Cheng Xiaoshi dies five times, living is a team sport, and Lu Guang learns what it means to love someone.

    Summary

    “What did you do?” Qiao Ling demanded the second she stepped onto the premises. Cheng Xiaoshi was sat on the couch by the door, slumped in a very irritated manner, while Lu Guang sat on the usual couch in the next room, hand on his temple.

    “I didn’t do anything. Lu Guang just enjoys breaking girl’s hearts.” For a moment Qiao Ling completely misunderstood what he meant, a hand raising to cover her mouth in surprise. Realising his mistake, Cheng Xiaoshi interrupted her thoughts. “A client! He refused a client.”

    -

    Or, Cheng Xiaoshi still hasn't learned to trust Lu Guang's better judgement.
