    Summary

    “I think we should break up.”

    Feng Xin timed it so that Mu Qing wasn’t eating or drinking but Mu Qing didn’t react beyond raising an eyebrow. “Break up?”

    “Uh, yeah, because...” How are you supposed to tell someone that you don’t think they’re happy anymore? That you're in love with them and that they only see you as a casual thing? Mu Qing was stressed and he never let Feng Xin meet his mom and he never moved in. Mu Qing hated when Feng Xin said I love you, actually; he’d get tense and change the subject. The one time Feng Xin had tried to talk about marriage, he’d said Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

    “Fine.”

    --

    Feng Xin and Mu Qing break up. Turns out they're not very good at staying apart.

    Summary

    Xie Lian had never traveled in his dreams before now. Never opened his eyes and found a different bedroom, different people, a different life. But he had heard of this curse long ago. A curse about people who could glimpse opportunities, other lives. Their souls would travel as they slept.

    The only person he had known affected by it was a man whose wife had died. In his dreams, he saw her a thousand times, a thousand worlds where she had lived, and woke up in the world where she had not. Perhaps Xie Lian, too, had a traveler’s soul now, seeking out his Hua Cheng while he waited.

    But Xie Lian was not grieving. He was only waiting until Hua Cheng was back and he would have no need for dreams.

    Summary

    "S-San Lang…" Xie Lian's iron grip on Hua Cheng's robes contrasted with the fragile uncertainty in his voice. "I don't know what to…what should I…"

    "Anything gege wants," Hua Cheng said. "Anything."

    An eternity passed between one heartbeat and the next. Xie Lian's head lifted with a quavering exhale. He was so close Hua Cheng could almost taste him.

    "I can't be so selfish."

    Their noses brushed together. "I want you to be selfish," Hua Cheng whispered.

    Summary

    «Я сказал, — декламирует Тигнари тоном безгранично собой довольного наставника, — двенадцать часов без физического контакта. Моё желание. Что в этом может быть непонятного?»

    О Сайно, который выражает чувства через прикосновения, и о Тигнари, который насильно отбирает у него возможность прикасаться
