Xu Lin's fingers had not yet withdrawn from the muzzle guard when Ji Jinxuan, who should have been asleep, suddenly twitched and opened his eyes. Their gazes met unexpectedly. The room was filled with Xu Lin's pheromones. Ji Jinxuan was still groggy, his eyes unfocused, resting vaguely on Xu Lin. He stared at the figure standing by his bed, his voice hoarse. "Xu Lin…" Xu Lin said nothing. He withdrew his hand and let it fall to his side. Ji Jinxuan's fingers twitched, instinctively reaching…-

Teacher? Zhuang Xun's gaze darted between Xu Lin and Pu Sha. Teacher. Student. He laughed coldly. "What a coincidence." His purpose in coming here was to find Xu Lin. He had not expected to find another person as well. One for Ji Hongyun. One for Ji Jinxuan. Two of them. He was filled with rage, his fists clenched. Thinking of Ji Hongyun, unrecognizable in his hospital bed, he was furious. He felt it was unjust, that Ji Hongyun had been wronged. He shouted at Pu Sha, "Since…

After a night of treatment, Ji Jinxuan was out of danger. No one had expected a single vial of pheromones to nearly send Ji Jinxuan to the grave. The doctor who had administered the "poison" had been on edge the entire time. Only when Ji Jinxuan's vital signs had fully stabilized did he finally exhale in relief. With that tension released, he nearly collapsed, his legs giving out as he almost slumped to the floor. When he came out of the emergency room, Zhuang Xun and Zong Xi, who had been waiting…

Danshi, the hospital. Outside the isolation ward's glass window, Zong Xi stood quietly in the hallway, expressionless, watching the room inside. The ward was filled with medical equipment. Ji Jinxuan was strapped to the bed, restraints on his wrists and ankles, the muzzle guard still on his face. He had just been given a sedative and was fast asleep. From a distance, if not for the slight rise and fall of his chest and the pulsing veins on his arms, Ji Jinxuan looked like a dead man. The…

The next day, Xu Lin bought a ticket and went to District Nine. At the dock, Yi Wei was already waiting for him at the exit, holding a bouquet of flowers. The moment he spotted Xu Lin, he rushed over and gave him a bear hug. "Xu Lin! It's been so long!" The flower bouquet was crushed between them, petals scattering everywhere. Six years had passed, and Yi Wei had not changed much. He still had the same fluffy, curly hair, though his face had grown rounder. Xu Lin smiled. "You're still the…

Xu Lin opened his eyes. His blurred vision slowly cleared. Before him was a scene he knew better than anywhere. The simple wooden cabin. The familiar fold-out bed. The fresh-smelling blanket covering him. Not a dream. He was in his own little room. Yes. All those terrible things were behind him. He had returned. Back to District Thirteen, to Yanyu Township. Back home. He tried to get up, but as he sat up, a sharp, needle-like pain stabbed through his head. He froze, taking a…

On the first night aboard the ship, Xu Lin could not sleep. He kept his ears pricked for any sound, only drifting into a restless doze in the early hours of the morning. Nothing happened through the night. Xu Lin had not eaten since the day before and was starving. This sightseeing cruise would take at least seventeen days to reach Huakou Port in District Nine, with stops along the way. He could not survive on water alone. After some thought, he dressed carefully, covering himself from head to…

Xu Lin did not know the area. He weaved through the crisscrossing alleys for a while until the path finally opened onto a main road. He looked back. Ji Jinxuan was not following. For now, he had shaken him off. But before he could relax for more than a few seconds, a new worry set in. He had escaped, but now he had nowhere to go. Without an ID card, he could not move freely in the capital. The airport and the dock were out of the question—if he went there, he would be stopped just like last time,…

Ji Jinxuan's relentless assault on his own gland continued without end. Xu Lin watched coldly as Ji Jinxuan appeared before him every day, persistent and unwavering. He had visibly lost weight. Anyone could see that his condition was deteriorating day by day, his entire being shrouded in a thick, lingering sickness. Ever since Xu Lin had made that remark, Ji Jinxuan had covered the back of his neck with a medicated patch, hiding the gruesome skin beneath. He did not want Xu Lin to see it. But even if…

The small rings lay in Ji Jinxuan's palm. Ji Jinxuan turned his head, as if he could see through the invisible veil of time—the Xu Lin of that year, sneaking into the car under cover of night, hanging the rings on his rearview mirror. He had folded the paper dragonfly with such anticipation, hiding the rings inside, hoping that the next day Ji Jinxuan would discover his little secret. But that little secret of his had taken six years to come to light. Six years later, with everything changed,…
