      Still Frame Chapter 32 Cover
      by — Chapter 32: A Mistaken Crush (3) For a moment, Zhang Liuxin almost thought he had thought about that name too many times and misheard. He gripped the plate in his hand tightly, only to hear the boy’s equally surprised voice ask again, “Who did you say? Is it the Wen Jin I’m thinking of? Wen Yue’s Wen Jin?” The blonde girl rolled her eyes. “Besides this Wen Jin, which other Wen Jin is there?” “Seriously? Wen Jin is only twenty, and Zhang Qinnan is only eighteen. They haven’t even…

      by — Chapter 31: The Wrong Crush (2) Jiang You ordered a lot of food, but she only ate two chicken wings before stopping, packing the rest up and handing it to Zhang Liuxin. Zhang Liuxin rubbed his temples: “Why did you buy so much if you couldn’t finish it?” “For this,” Jiang You said, shaking the limited-edition collaboration merchandise in her hand. Zhang Liuxin didn't understand but respected her decision. Jiang You asked him about his plans for the weekend and if he wanted to study at the…

      by — Chapter 30: A Mistaken Crush (1) Li Hangzhou also followed the sound and looked over. In the bright afternoon sun, he shivered unexpectedly. "Liu Xin?" He withdrew his gaze and noticed that Zhang Liuxin's eyes seemed unfocused, as if he was spacing out. He reached out and waved a hand in front of him: "Are you tired? Should we take another break?" Zhang Liuxin shook his head and smiled: "No, let's continue." He corrected Li Hangzhou's posture, then returned to his own position, preparing to feed Li…

      by — Chapter 3: Escape Romance (3) When the rain stopped, Wen Jin also woke up. There was a faint red mark on his forehead, making him look less aloof. The sky outside had darkened considerably; if they didn't leave the forest soon, the night would become very dangerous. The quiet, harmonious moment they had just shared emboldened Zhang Liuxin. Before Wen Jin could react, he reached out the back of his hand and pressed it against Wen Jin's forehead. "Hiss..." Wen Jin frowned. "It seems hotter." Zhang…

      Still Frame Chapter 29 Cover
      by — Chapter 29: Chance Encounter In those few lines of text, Zhang Liuxin could almost see Zhang Qiannan’s slightly raised lips through the screen, carrying a hint of flippancy and mockery. “No, it was just a chance encounter,” Zhang Liuxin replied, word for word. Zhang Qiannan said, “Just? Are you interested in Wen Jin too? Since when do you like men?” His nails dug into his palm. Zhang Liuxin felt his stomach churn; the half-slice of pizza he had just eaten made his throat oily, nearly causing…

      by — Chapter 28: The Hunter (2) Zhang Liuxin’s breath hitched. He said, “No, I can do it.” A soft chuckle came from behind him. Wen Jin tapped his fabric print. “It’s uneven. It bled.” That laugh made Zhang Liuxin feel even more tense. It wasn’t until Wen Jin moved from behind him to his left side, sitting back down on the high stool, that Zhang Liuxin realized he had been watching him the whole time—perhaps it was his imagination, or perhaps he was looking at his fabric print. “Tap from…

      by — Chapter 27: The Hunter (1) Zhang Liuxin kept Wen Jin’s library card tucked inside the romance novel. Every day when he returned to the dorm, seeing that striking red flash, he couldn’t help but flip it open, gazing at the handsome face again and again until he felt a little disgusted with himself. When the notice for the first official club activity was posted, everyone started a roll call in the group chat to sign up. Zhang Liuxin checked every five minutes to see if that person had signed up. He…

      by — Chapter 26 The North Star On the way, they unexpectedly ran into Uncle Feng, who was accompanied by a very young-looking man. Uncle Feng waved at them, his voice still booming, "Hey, what a coincidence, you guys are out for a walk too?" Then, he smiled and patted the young man next to him on the shoulder, "This is my son, Feng Xi. He's studying at Serin City University, currently in his junior year." Mentioning his son, Uncle Feng’s face was full of pride. The young man was very slender, with light…

      by — Chapter 25: Drowned Ideals (2) Finally, a card fell to the floor. Wen Jin picked it up. It was a press pass, wrinkled and worn as if it had been soaked in water, looking ancient and having clearly seen a lot of life. “This is my last press pass,” Uncle Da said, a nostalgic look on his face. “It survived an air raid with me. I lived, and the pass didn’t get lost. It’s my lucky charm.” When he mentioned the air raid that nearly took his life, Uncle Da looked regretful, but Zhang Liuxin…

      by — Chapter 24 Drowned Ideals (1) I must have been speaking too much Bernlinian, which is why I can’t understand Silver State dialect. Zhang Liuxin suspected this. Why would anyone make food like this... He struggled to speak, word by word: “So you don’t like eating Bernlinian cuisine?” Was that time five years ago, when Wen Jin ate so little, also simply because he wasn't used to the food? Wen Jin’s expression looked more like he couldn’t understand why anyone would like Bernlinian cuisine:…
