Thank you anon reader for the Ko-Fi donation! Bai Ling returned covered in blood. He forced down a few bites of food, scrubbed himself clean, and wrapped himself in the duvet, falling into a heavy, feverish sleep. In his stupor, someone touched his forehead. The fingertips carried a warm, algae-scented aroma, like seawater touched by a red tide.

Thank you anon reader for the Ko-Fi donation! warning: PTSD depiction In the 40s and 50s, a type of collective apartment rose to prominence to meet the housing needs of civilians and grassroots workers. Simple in structure and tiny in size, they were nonetheless fully functional. From the outside, the neat rows of balconies looked like stacked matchboxes, and because they were often inhabited by birds, they earned the nickname "Pigeon Boxes."

Life had taught the veteran resilience, tolerance, and optimism, but it hadn't taught him how to face tenderness. "The rain, it's really coming down hard, isn't it?" The Stump Bird was nervous. Afraid of revealing any undignified emotions, he bit his lip hard, trapping his ragged breathing in his throat. He could barely breathe… "Your breathing doesn't sound right." Mr. D inquired…

At breakfast, Bai Ling was nibbling on half a slice of bread, his head drooping and bobbing as he dozed off. That wasn't even a dream last night; it was the of his life! The little hooves clip-clopped so hard his brain hurt. The most confusing part was that the dream automatically replaced Mr. D's face with Yu Chen's, making him sigh with genuine emotion. When he woke up and touched his pillow, it was wet. I'm so sad, I need to find something to comfort myself. Bai Ling expressionlessly downed…

Thank you for the ko-fi donation Leaf and Anon Reader! Things in life don't always go as planned because fate always has another arrangement. Yu Chen recalled the newspaper clipping tucked inside the chessboard. He lowered his gaze and cradled the back of Bai Ling’s head, holding him as gently as a fragile tuft of , and pressed his lips against the young man’s forehead with the utmost care.

The merman politely declined his invitation to the restroom. He patiently explained that it wasn’t because he didn’t want to, but rather it was a matter of hygiene as airborne bacteria could make people sick. Bai Ling scoffed. “You weren’t so particular before.” The merman raised a hand, asked the waiter for a cup of black tea, then turned his gaze and softly asked, “When was ‘before’?” Bai Ling almost said, In my past life, when I dragged you to that rundown shack reeking…

They hadn't noticed before, but now when they took a closer look the white-haired young man had a visible prosthetic leg beneath his pant leg, making a faint clicking sound as he walked.

Teach me a lesson. This seemingly flirtatious remark caught Yu Chen's attention. "Lesson?" Yu Chen raised an eyebrow, his green eyes glinting in the dim light. "What do you think I'm about to do?" Bai Ling's expression was bewildered. "Isn't it acclimation training? Don't worry, I'm young, my skin and flesh are fairly resilient. As long as you don't go too far, I should be able to handle it…" He lowered his head in thought, then added, "Oh, I should warn you: the walls here are very thin. If…

"He's nothing more than a plaything to amuse me." Bai Ling was taken aback for a moment but before he could react Sava rolled up his furry pants and exploded in anger: “How can he say that about you?!” Sava’s temper was too straightforward. To avoid conflict, Bai Ling had already warned him beforehand, saying that this trip was to the garden of an “acquaintance.” It was just that it was too late at night, so they had to carry out a stealth mission: move fast, precise, and ruthless; grab…
