Translator: humu
Hu Zi2’s original name was Chen Qiao. From a young age, both of his parents were busy making ends meet, so he was
raised by the village’s elderly. The old folks weren’t well educated, but they always felt that the name ‘Chen Qiao’ wasn’t
pleasant to the ears. Chen Qiao, Chen Qiao, oh how it sounded so unlucky! The name Hu Zi was still the best. In the future,
the child would grow up to be steady and firm, tall and strong.
Hu Zi didn’t let down this name. When Hu Zi was about to attend senior high school, he was already at a height of more
than 1.8m. He had dark tan skin, dashing, white pearly teeth, was outwardly straightforward and honest.
As Heaven dictated, there would always be unexpected circumstances. Just as Hu Zi had gathered up his courage to
confess to the village’s Chun Niu, 2 people whom he had never met before, used the title of “parents” to bring him out of
Alright, Hu Zi felt extremely awkward. Sitting in the Beetle3 and facing the two who called themselves “mom” and “dad”,
His mouth opened and closed, then re-opened after a while. Hu Zi’s parents were very excited and emotional, using an
especially expectant gaze to look at Hu Zi, whom they had neglected for many years. They hoped that he would be able
“Can you guys…… not look at me4 like this?! It’s really embarrassing.”
He wasn’t sure how long it had been since they left. He always felt as if it was dark outside, then bright, then dark again.
This pattern continued, up until someone woke him up, saying that they had arrived. He then followed that person to the
bedside in a muddle headed manner before plopping onto the bed and going to sleep.

He had been in this foreign city for more than a year already. He had lived in this extraordinary big house for more than a
year. Except for his parents, he still seemed to be unaccustomed to most of the things here.
Especially the younger brothers and sisters who looked exactly like him. From the beginning, he had never recognised
Even though Hu Zi didn’t know how to read a person’s face, he understood that they didn’t like him.
Quickly gobbling down his food, he grabbed his bag and bid a quick farewell before leaving the house.
Nowadays, there was hardly any students who would wake up early to walk to school; but Hu Zi just wasn’t accustomed
Reaching the school, there weren’t that many students yet. He placed his bag on the field and started to run his laps.
When he went back to retrieve his bag, he found that there was someone lying on the field, with his entire body
For the longest time ever, the person did not respond. Just as Hu Zi was about to give up, the person cursed. Even though
The wheel of fate started to turn. On Hu Zi’s future timeline, there was a stain of the colour of a Japanese Rose5 , a colour
From behind, there came the sound of footsteps, following closely behind Hu Zi. When Hu Zi sped up, it hastened its pace
“I have already told you a lot of times. I don’t want you to follow me. I don’t like it.”
This person had persistently followed Hu Zi through the last 2 years of senior high, 2 years of college and was still
following him in his third year. This person was really testing Hu Zi’s patience.
If the person looked ordinary, that was fine. It was alright becoming friends too. But that person just had to look like
everyone’s ideal lover, who they yearned for. By following him, others had already discussed that there would only be Hu
Zi in his eyes.
Even his own siblings looked at Hu Zi with hatred and disgust, as if Hu Zi had blasphemed a sacred object that even the
“Why are you always following me? I don’t even know you.” Saying so, Hu Zi turned and left. But this couldn’t shake off Bai
Upon returning home, two long rows of black-shirt men wearing shades stood at his side.
“En.” Bai Yang nodded without the gentle smile he constantly showed Hu Zi. Walking straight to his room, he entered his
very own secret room. He turned on the lights and faced the light towards himself. He sat on a chair and silently gazed at
the wall with a projected image for a while. He stretched out a hand and groped around for the knife. Without even
looking, he made a vertical slit on his arm. When the sharp knife landed on the clothes, which he hadn’t moved away in
time, the knife had already sliced through it. With just one move, fresh blood gushed out, resembling a clear spring
waterfall. The knife wound was wide and deep, it was an extremely horrifying scene.
Bai Yang’s mother was sitting on the sofa in the living room, leaning against her husband as she shed silent tears. Her
poor, pitiful child. Just when was he able to obtain the happiness he desired?
When the fresh blood gradually dyed the entire photo red, Bai Yang held onto his wound and walked out of the secret
Cold water splashed all over his body, just like a blooming flower. The heart that was just as cold, only beat for one
person.
After a few years, Hu Zi was still not accepted by his siblings and wasn’t able to fully integrate into the family. Staying
there wouldn’t have any meaning either. So after graduation, he immediately found a job. Hu Zi made a thorough
preparation. He was afraid that his parents wouldn’t agree to his departure so Hu Zi didn’t notify anyone and left behind
a short letter, bringing his few belongings with him to another city.
Work was fairly easy. The task of a Physical Education teacher at a college wasn’t a heavy load. In addition, Hu Zi really
liked to exercise, so life was still considered to have some fun, some spice.
Actually, he didn’t dislike Bai Yang. He had always felt that Bai Yang was more adorable than his own siblings, but they
hated to see Bai Yang and Hu Zi together, so Hu Zi distanced himself from Bai Yang.
“Teacher, don’t tell me that you’re thinking about your girlfriend?!” All the students loved Chen Qiao. He didn’t have the
attitude of a teacher and wouldn’t force his students to work hard. Furthermore, the passing rate was relatively higher, so
all the students loved to choose his class. Even so, the students would treat this class with seriousness and respect.
“No.”
“Don’t lie to us. Teacher, you have a face that’s like the colour of a Japanese Rose. It obviously means that you’re missing
the one in your heart dearly. Don’t be too embarrassed to admit it.”
“That’s right. Teacher, make sure to bring your wife to visit us someday!”
The students slowly started to cheer and make noise, entirely unaware of a girl’s red, flushed face among them.
She had actually started to pay attention to Hu Zi the moment she saw him. Hu Zi’s good personality had deeply
attracted her. As she had been incomparably hurt by love before, she had just ignited the flame of desire to date once
again.
Towards the cheers of his students, Hu Zi was visibly feeling a little helpless.
Hu Zi, who was not used to lying to his students, had honestly told them his true thoughts.
This news was even more shocking than the news of having a wife. Everyone was stunned by the outburst, even Hu Zi
himself.
Scratching his head, Hu Zi didn’t know how to explain. The more he tried, the worse it became.
“Teacher, I support you! So what if you’re homosexual?! I believe what you two have is true love! True love defeats all!”
Turning his head, he saw a boy shedding his tears all over his face, yet shouting his support with joy in his voice.
A few other females reacted and followed along the clap, shouting from the depths of their hearts, being genuinely
Although he was dubious, Hu Zi wouldn’t really ask. He thought about Chun Niu, who he had once liked, only to realise that
he had already forgotten how she looked. The one that sprang to his mind, was always that one person, named Bai Yang.
The bachelor teacher’s apartment was reconstructed from a used school building. Although it had some history, it was
Opening his wallet, what entered his eyes was a face of unspeakable seduction. It had always made him calm for some
reason. This photo was taken when he just got a phone and wanted to test the camera quality. That person had
suddenly run into his camera frame. Ever since then, he hadn’t deleted the photo. Even Hu Zi didn’t understand why he
As he sat on the bed, he turned on the tv, casually scrolling though some interesting channels.
The screen paused at a certain channel. The host was narrating the scene of a local piece of news that had entered City
A’s exploding hot news. The remote control in his hand slowly fell to the floor.
One hand grabbing onto his jacket that he just removed, he ran into his room to grab his bag, anxiously stuffing some
All the way until the plane landed, his mood couldn’t calm down.
Flagging down a red Beetle, he rushed the driver to City A’s largest private hospital.
At the hospital entrance, there was a dense mess of crowd. All the unrelated personels were blocked outside, yet only Hu
Zi was allowed a smooth entry; all the way till he arrived outside of the emergency room, blocked by that huge white
door.
The light on the door was still red. Other than staring at that red light, Hu Zi didn’t know what else he could do.
Mrs. Bai was sobbing in the arms of Bai Lang and since she didn’t look up, she hadn’t noticed Hu Zi’s arrival completely.
But Bai Lang noticed. The person they had been looking for for more than 2 years, had finally shown up.
Gazing at the emergency room, Bai Lang smiled. He knew that Bai Yang would definitely live through this.
A week later, Bai Yang finally opened his amber eyes. Without even caring about the state of his own body, Bai Yang got
Before waking up, he had always felt Hu Zi’s breath. He could guarantee that Hu Zi was next to him.
Hu Zi pushed open the door only to see the mummified6 Bai Yang insensibly moving all over. That shining pair of phoenix
“What are you doing?! You better lie back down for me! Don’t you know just how grave your wounds are? Without the
doctor’s permission, you absolutely can’t move!” Hu Zi roared at him angrily, then realised that he shouldn’t be shouting
at a patient.
“Come here.” Bai Yang’s eyes gleamed when they landed on Hu Zi. He just knew that Hu Zi would be next to him.
Hu Zi placed the flower vase he was holding on a chair at the side, then slowly walked to Bai Yang’s bedside.
“Kiss me!” Lifting his head forward, Bai Yang opened his eyes widely while waiting for Hu Zi’s agreement.
Hu Zi paused. Just when Bai Yang was about to reach the point of desperation, Hu Zi finally gave the promise of his future
life to him.
Hu Zi hesitated for a while before pressing his lips onto those bright red lips, only for one second, before moving away.
This wasn’t what Bai Yang had wanted. Bai Yang desired more, much much more.
With one hand, he pressed down the head that was about to part from him. Like a predator, he kissed Hu Zi. He used all of
his strength to press down Hu Zi’s flabbergasted and resistant head, stretching his tongue into Hu Zi’s mouth. He tangled
into a dance with Hu Zi’s tongue. The taste of that sweetness attracted Bai Ying to seek and explore that mouth he
craved for.
Even the craziest and wildest thunderstorm couldn’t depict the kiss of promise between them. It felt as if half a decade
had passed before Bai Yang reluctantly parted ways with the lips that he often yearned for.
He licked his lips unsatisfactorily. Bai Yang revealed a smile that was filled with happiness for the first time. His eyes
wrinkled into crescents, resembling a little fox who was satisfied from successfully stealing his prey.
