Summary
Ilya stumbles back, blindly reaching for the door. “You should call your girlfriend. I will — ”
Shane’s head turns fully to look at him. The look in his eyes is devastating. Ilya’s hand, slick with sweat, slips.
“I don’t want Rose,” Shane gasps. “I want you.”

Summary
Hendery nods dutifully along to Sicheng’s droning explanations, affixes his signatures to documents when prompted, and after just fifteen minutes, leaves the building with his spanking new employment contract clutched to his chest and an impressively clammy handshake from Sicheng.
“Welcome to 1-800-LOVE-TALK,” Sicheng says in that same flat, disinterested voice, followed by the slogan Hendery had seen printed on a fading banner hung up in the office premises. “‘We gonna have a good time’.”
And just like that, Hendery’s hired for the world’s first multilingual sex hotline.
(Hendery's a barista by day, and mans a sex hotline at night. It's pretty much what he expects until, one fine evening, a certain DJ starts lighting up his line.)

Summary
Kun’s voice is hoarse, cracking with the force of his words. “You should have left me there.”
“I wouldn’t,” Ten says.
“Why not?” The words are splintering, fracturing, bullets carving their way through glass. “It’s not like you haven’t done it before.”

Summary
“Well.” Ten lifts his chin, haughty, defiant. “I’m here now, aren’t I?”
He’s here now in a rural area of China bordering Tibet with no work, no cats, no distractions. He’s here now, trying to figure out why it still feels like Kun is lying to him. He’s here now with Kun. For Kun.
I missed you, Kun had said, even when they were an arm’s length apart. That part, Ten thinks, is true. And suddenly, and even though he’d been thinking about its impossibility, about its ridiculousness, all Ten can think is I missed you, too.
Maybe Kun senses it. Maybe he doesn’t. Either way, Kun looks at him for as long as he dares to keep his eyes off the road, and Ten sees an expression he doesn't recognise cross his face before Kun turns away, eyes fixed firmly ahead.
“Yeah,” Kun says. “Yeah, you are.”
(or: Kun and Ten make it to Sichuan after all.)

Summary
“We,” Kun says, then pauses for dramatic effect. “Are the Men in Black.”
Yangyang waits for him to elaborate. Kun does not. Yangyang’s eyes slide from Kun’s nice black suit to Hendery’s slime-coated one.
“Wow,” he coughs. “Very, uh. Imaginative.”
“We monitor alien activity,” Hendery clarifies helpfully.
Yangyang thinks back to the sign over the building. “Like the immigration people?” he asks, and Kun looks about two seconds away from rolling his eyes so hard they fall out of his head.
(An unfortunate run-in leaves Yangyang and Hendery stuck ‒ like, stuck stuck. The only way to separate them? Yangyang needs to achieve his heart's desire by the next full moon.
Luckily, Hendery's there to help him figure out exactly what that is.)

In the absence of a recipe, one must rely on his instincts. In the absence of instincts, one must be satisfied with the basics. In the absence of basics, one must seek a recipe.

Summary
Yangyang peels a dark red petal off the rose, rubbing it between his fingers. Dejun has dozens of these, each one so fresh and lovely, sent by suitors and benefactors in love with his voice. It’s not something to be jealous of—with great adoration comes great danger. They both know this.
“He says he’s going to teach me things about music.” Yangyang slips the petal into his mouth. It’s surprisingly bitter. “Things I’ve only ever dreamed of.”
“Men always promise great things.” Dejun hands him another rose. “Don’t let him fool you.”

Summary
I am going to do something terrible, Ten wants to scream, letting Kun press his thumb into his palm. His fingers are cold, the touch like soothing ice to a wound. I am going to do something terrible for you, to you, without you.
