    Summary

    "Pop some bread in the toaster for me?” Wei Ying asks. Lan Zhan has one, a chrome thing with dials and buttons.

    A pause. “This isn’t a relationship,” Lan Zhan says.

    Wei Ying blinks. It’s such an incongruous thing to say. At first his brain says, that must be code. It’s almost like listening to two spies talk in a drama. The handler would say something like ‘the duck swims at midnight,’ and the spy would say, ‘purple is the loveliest colour’ and they’d both nod to each other and know that the prime minister was about to be assassinated, or something. That’s all he can think of, at first. Because of course this isn’t a relationship? This was a fun night. So Lan Zhan must be saying this for a reason. There’s some response he’s supposed to make now, but he’s lost the script if he ever had it.

    “Okay…” he says. Then it clicks. Lan Zhan means: you should leave.

    ---
    Maybe Wei Ying shouldn't have hooked up with his hot neighbour two days into his exchange semester, but everyone makes choices in life.

    Summary

    “We talked about it,” Xie Lian says, hearing the frustration in his voice. “I want to go to the next step.”

    “It's okay if you don't—” Hua Cheng started.

    “I do! God, I want it so much. I don't want you thinking that I don't. I—I think about it all the time, San Lang.”

    Hua Cheng looks pleased, the tops of his cheekbones flushing to match his red shirt, and his thumb strokes the back of Xie Lian's hand.

    “What do you think about, gege?”

    --

    Xie Lian seeks a lesson in desire. And another. And another.

    Summary

    “A-Ning,” he says, when Wen Ning picks up. “Does this—who, if you had a gun to your head, who would you say this was?’”

    “Buuuuuttt,” says the high-pitched tinny voice that comes through. He listens while someone, presumably Wen Ning, chases A-Yuan away from the phone. He must be on speaker. “It’s baba’s butt!”

    It's not like Wei Ying's mind was ever a comfortable place to live, but it's certainly not helped by the posters of his own naked body popping up around his neighborhood.
