    Summary

    It happens on Sunday, of all days. Xie Lian hates Sundays – never knows what to do with himself, unable to relax and reluctant to be productive.

    Or: Xie Lian meets the most beautiful stranger he’s ever seen in his entire life and he barely feels a thing.

    Summary

    “Some delicate things want to be broken. If you want it, don’t hold back, reach out for it.”

    Beneath the table, Hua Cheng’s fists clench, unclench. The fine bones of Xie Lian’s hands are delicate, the narrow bridge of his nose is delicate, the sharp angle of his collarbone is delicate. Sometimes he is afraid he will break them all, like handling a bird. Sometimes he is afraid he wants to.

    Summary

    “I’m afraid there isn’t anyone left who will pay a ransom for us now. Apologies.”
    “Why the fuck are you apologizing to them?” Mu Qing snaps. “Do you recall the part where we’re their unwilling captives?”
    “Politeness never hurts,” Xie Lian says.
    “I have a hard time believing no one would want you back, gege.” Hua Cheng’s words are spoken in almost a purr. Xie Lian sees He Xuan give Hua Cheng a subtle pinch on his upper arm—though, to the captain’s credit, he doesn’t even flinch.
