He didn't want to dream about Ji Jixuan, but every time it happened against his will. He couldn't control his dreams. The Ji Jixuan in his dreams was different from the real one. He was more outgoing. He would smile at Xu Lin, talk endlessly with him. The two would sit by the river embankment, watching the sun rise and set, watching spring turn to autumn. The sweetness of those dreams was a foreign sensation Xu Lin had never experienced before. So when he opened his eyes, the cold reality would…-

Sometimes, when you stand against the wind and waves for a controversial cause, the ones who stand by your side might be few and far between. And among those few, you might not find a single person who truly understands you, agrees with you, and resonates with you in perfect harmony. Such people are rare. They are treasures beyond compare. But Xu Lin thought he might have found one. Two puzzle pieces of different shapes, yet they fit together strangely and perfectly. A week after discovering…

A remote, run-down river embankment. Running into someone once was a coincidence. Running into them twice was fate. Now that they had exchanged names, they were probably considered friends, right? At School A, the only person Xu Lin was close to was Yi Wei. Everyone else, to varying degrees, held prejudices against District Thirteen. If they had prejudices against his hometown, then naturally Xu Lin had prejudices against them too. He couldn't be bothered to socialize and didn't want to engage. So…

After the New Year holiday ended, the students returned to school one after another. Yi Wei brought back an unexpected surprise. He had brought Xu Lin a reply letter from Pu Sha. Xu Lin thanked him profusely. That night, he curled up under his blanket and read the dozen or so pages of letter paper over and over again. In the letter, Pu Sha talked about the trivial things that had happened over the past year. They were all small, insignificant matters, but Xu Lin read them with great interest.…

Three months into the school term, Xu Lin realized that the living expenses he had brought with him were dwindling day by day. There was no way around it. Even though School A had waived his tuition, as long as he lived in Danshi, there were expenses everywhere. He had already cut back as much as possible on food, clothing, and daily necessities. Old, worn-out clothes could still be washed and worn, but his stomach couldn't be filled with a few grains of rice or thin air. And Danshi's cost of living was…

On the day of enrollment at School A, Xu Lin arrived promptly on the date specified in his admission notice. It was only when he set foot on Danshi's soil that he truly felt the reality of leaving home. District Thirteen was far from Danshi, so Xu Lin had to travel by water. He first hitched a ride on a fishing boat that was delivering goods from District Thirteen, then disembarked at the District Ten port, bought another ticket, and transferred three times before finally reaching Danshi. He would have…

He became one of the most common sights in District Thirteen: a young street punk. He wandered through the streets and alleys, with no fixed address. He fell in with a group of other punks just like him. They fought, drank, smoked, and huddled together in a daze, barely getting by. In District Thirteen, people like them would never climb out of the mire. Xu Lin believed that too. Until he turned twelve and met the teacher who would change his life. Pu Sha. That day, Xu Lin had just finished brawling…

The first time Xu Lin saw Ji Jixuan was during his first year of study in the main city of Danshi, at the freshman orientation ceremony. In the auditorium packed with students, Ji Jixuan took the stage to deliver a speech as the freshman representative. Among Xu Lin's cohort, only a little over one hundred students came from outside the city. They were relegated to a single corner of the auditorium. Everywhere else sat the local Danshi students. The people of Danshi were notoriously arrogant. Having been…

After six years away, Xu Lin had finally returned home. Little Fatty and Shitou took the lead in organizing a welcome banquet for him that evening. With a single phone call, they summoned their friends. Around eight grown men bustled over from all corners of District Thirteen, lugging supplies with them. These were the same kids who used to follow Xu Lin around getting into trouble back in the day, but now they had all grown up into respectable young men. They set up two tables pushed together in Pu…

"Hey, young man! Wake up!" Xu Lin felt something slapping his face, the impact a bit painful. He struggled to open his eyes. Everything in his vision was blurry and doubled, as if a layer of gauze had been draped over his eyes, making it impossible to see clearly. While still groggy, he heard someone exclaim, "Hey, he's awake, he's awake! Honey, bring the stuff over." "Coming, coming." Xu Lin was helped into a sitting position, and some hot, pungent liquid was fed into his mouth. His tongue tasted the…
