The city was huge, Shi Tou had never seen such tall buildings and streets full of people coming and going. Ah-Jiang took him to many fun places. In the movie theater, he held onto a bucket of popcorn as Ah-Jiang held the big cup of coke for him. The room was dark. Shi Tou didn’t understand the meaning behind the movie being played, he only focused on eating his popcorn. Ah-Jiang didn’t pay attention either, he kept fiddling with the other’s finger.
Then, they went to an exhibition, the mall, the amusement part…so many different places that Shi Tou couldn’t remember. He never knew Ah-Jiang’s home was this big, it had so many new interesting activities. No wonder why Ah-Jiang didn’t go back to find him for that long.
Ah-Jiang’s house was in a tall tall building. There were huge windows on his balcony too, they could see the whole city’s night view when the sun went down.
Shi Tou looked at this and then looked at that. The flower vases had pretty patterns on them. Dust was nowhere to be found. He didn’t dare to reach out his hand to touch the displays, afraid he’d accidentally break it.
Ah-Jiang hugged him playfully, he spoke softly with his arms around his neck, “Stupid child, there’s no such thing as your home or my home. It’s ‘our’ home.”
“Our…” The young male blinked, his finger scrapped the window slowly as his face heated up and flushed red.
He felt so happy, it was almost like a dream that one could wake from at any moment.
There were crowds of people on the street at night. Ah-Jiang told him he didn’t need to fear other people’s gazes, he could hold his hands out in the open without needing to hide it. They arrived at the central square, the lights there were the most beautiful at nighttime. Looking across the huge square, people were everywhere. There were families, couples, and even individuals hanging out by themselves. Everyone lived in their own world.
In front of the water fountain, a foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes was drawing. A few people went up to him then left. Then a few more people went up to him.
Shi Tou stuck his neck out in curiosity, it was the first time he had ever seen a foreigner. He always thought they lived in a different world.
Ah-Jiang smiled and dragged him over. Shi Tou hid behind him as he poked out his head in both anticipation and caution.
Ah-Jiang said something Shi Tou couldn’t understand to the foreigner. He looked up at Ah-Jiang, thinking about how smart he was.
Ah-Jiang proceeded to pull him from behind him and said, “Little Rock, we’ll have him take a picture of us and then draw a painting.”
Shi Tou blinked in shock. The guy’s artwork that’d been laid out on the side looked extremely realistic. He fiddled with his fingers in hesitation as he lowered his head shyly, Ah-Jiang had to pull him up to stand straight.
“Little Rock, be good, raise your head.”
“Ah, oh…”
Shi Tou raised his neck. Suddenly, Ah-Jiang lowered down and snuck a kiss from his mouth.
With a soft “kacha” sound, the foreigner gave them a hand gesture. He was laughing with his brows raised, even people passing by were peeking discreetly.
Shi Tou’s face flushed red like a tomato. Ah-Jiang paid the guy and agreed to come to pick up the painting a month later. Then he dragged Little Rock away. But Shi Tou seemed like he wanted to find a hole to hide himself in. Fortunately, there was a sweets cart right in front of them. Ah-Jiang used a stick of cotton candy to coax Shi Tou into lifting his head.
There was only one little cloud of cotton candy. Shi Tou counted with his fingers as his cheeks were puffed, thinking about how the price of that could get them ten huge cotton candies back in the village.
“This young man.” A voice traveled to him.
Shi Tou stopped in his tracks. He turned around to see an old man with white beard, sitting on the ground with a floor mat below him. He covered himself with a run-down blanket while wearing a pair of black rounded framed glasses; he had the typical look of those blind old men who appeared in old movies.
Shi Tou walked over without a second though, it seemed as if he had been lured in by something.
Ah-Jiang took a few steps before realizing that he’d lost Little Rock. He turned around to look for him and finally saw the young male squatting on the floor, hugging his knees as he looked at the blind old man.
The blind old man had his head lowered to do something. Ah-Jiang fastly paced over, just to see the other’s wrinkled head pressing onto Shi Tou’s Heaven Cover.
“What are you doing?!” Ah-Jiang instantly yanked Shi Tou away. His loud yet panicking voice had everyone looking over.
The blind old man moved his neck towards the direction of his voice. His white eyes below the black lens swirled around before he softly nodded his head strangely. “I see, I see…”
That voice made Ah-Jiang feel like he’d just encountered a great enemy, he grasped onto Shi Tou’s wrist tightly. “Let’s go.”
Before he could even take a step, the blind old man’s voice rang again. “My old self has seen quite a few of those born with an incomplete soul. But this young man had a golden thread planted on him to recollect his lost soul for him, hmm…” He brushed his white beard as he clicked his tongue.
“We’re leaving.” Ah-Jiang’s brows furrowed. He pulled Shi Tou’s hand, wanting to leave. But Shi Tou stood there without moving, staring at the blind old man in a daze.
The blind old man waved his head and he broke away from Ah-Jiang, stepping closer and closer to him.
Ah-Jiang looked at his back, stunned. He saw Shi Tou squatting down in front of the blind old man again. He reached out his hand, wanting to touch the box the blind old man placed before him.
But the blind old man pushed his hand away, chuckling with a wide spread smile, displaying his black and yellow teeth. Somehow, he seemed quite kind. “Stupid child, don’t touch without thinking. My old self shall return ‘it’ to you now.”
The old man started mumbling chants as he opened the black box, revealing a wooden plaque inside. It seemed like it’d been soaked in water as it was full of stains, the carvings on it no longer visible.
He suddenly reached out his hand and hit Shi Tou’s Heaven Cover.
Ah-Jiang sprinted over immediately to pull Shi Tou over. But, he exerted too much strength, causing the blind old man to also back away a bit from the force. Both the black box and plaque let out noises as they fell to the ground.
“Little Rock, Rock…” Shi Tou fell into Ah-Jiang’s arms as his eyes opened, his pupils unfocused..
Ah-Jiang was panicking as he quickly sent Shi Tou to the hospital. The blind old man was arrested and captivated for the meanwhile.
Fortunately, Shi Tou regained consciousness in the middle of the night. Ah-Jiang immediately went over by his bed the moment he moved his finger.. Both his eyes were bloodshot, his hands that held onto Shi Tou trembled slightly, he was seemingly extremely frightened.
He had a reason to be worried. Shi Tou suddenly went unconscious and the hospital couldn’t recognize anything wrong with him, but he just wouldn’t wake up. It was no wonder how agonized Deputy Director Jiang* became.
“Ah-Jiang…” Shi Tou let out a raspy voice, then gave him a wide smile that seemed a little dumb.
Yet Ah-Jiang’s frames reddened, he put the other’s hand next to his mouth and kissed it before saying in a low voice, “Little Rock, don’t scare me anymore.”
“Mn…” Shi Tou nodded dumbly. He looked up and placed his other hand on Ah-Jiang’s brows, touching them softly, as if this was the first time he’d seen him.
From that day on, Shi Tou changed completely.
Ah-Jiang had no way of explaining what kind of change it was. It was just as if Little Rock had suddenly gotten more intelligent, as if he was suddenly enlightened.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
The most obvious change was the way he talked. It was like he’d turn into a completely different person. He never showed the same dumb-looking expression, instead, it was crystal clear. Even the look in his eyes seemed to be sharper.

He walked out of the bedroom and saw the young male standing by the bar counter. On the side laid Ah-Jiang’s laptop, he followed an online tutorial as he drew an autumn leaf on the cup of coffee.
“Little Rock.”
When the young male heard the voice, he quickly turned around to smile warmly at the other.
The smile was the same, it didn’t change. Yet, it was as if…underneath, there was something different about its nature.
Ah-Jiang ate the breakfast that Shi Tou made as he sat across from him. There were slices of bacon folded inside the bread. In the past, Shi Tou would separate everything before eating it. This habit of his had changed completely as well.
“Is there something on my face?” Shi Tou noticed Ah-Jiang’s eyes so he raised his head to ask while still chewing.
“Nothing.” Ah-Jiang lifted the corners of his mouth, smiling a bit forcedly. He stood up, that was when Sh iTou realized he’d barely touched his breakfast. He asked with a little bit of concern, “You’re…not eating anymore?”
Ah-Jiang shook his head, his appetite was suddenly gone.
Shi Tou stood up to send him out like usual. Ah-Jiang received his briefcase and left very quickly, even the daily kiss he would give the other before leaving was forgotten.
Inside the white room, Ah-Jiang opened his eyes, sitting up from the longue. A doctor wearing a white cloak walked over to him, he smiled at the other.
Dr. Langhans was a Germanian. He was also the psychologist that Ah-Jiang had always consulted since he was young. He studied how dreams worked on a scientific level. But to a doctor like him, Deputy Director Jiang* was probably a patient that brought him a lot of headaches.
Things that could happen in one’s past lives are too unimaginable queer. No scientific studies could explain how a person could have a second, third, and so on numbers of life. Even the existence of souls was still an inquiry.
Yet Ah-Jiang firmly believed in the realisticness of his dreams, all the stories he’d told the German doctor were enough for him to write an entire novel off of.
Ten dreams, all the same people, same ending, it certainly sounded inconceivable.
The German doctor rubbed his chin. He always thought that they were very interesting, but he would still tell Deputy Director Jiang* the same thing. “They might be hints you’re leaving for yourself.”
“Hints?”
“You’re eager to receive a certain object, too eager. Don’t you guys have a saying that goes: ‘What you think in the day, is dreamt at night’?”
“Then why do I feel like they actually happened?”
The German doctor smiled slightly. “Some people can’t even differentiate the difference of reality from dreams.”
“Then can you explain the reasoning behind the ending to each dream?”
The doctor walked in front of the man, he patted his shoulder and spoke as if they were old friends, “It’s possible that means you have pessimism for this romance.”
It could be explained as pessimism, it could also mean untrust.
Did it mean that he didn’t love him? How is that possible? Every time he thought of him, his heart would experience discreet pain.
Such a conversation occurred a long time ago. Due to his disbelief in the German doctor’s words, Deputy Director Jiang* did not come to see him for a while. They both continued with their occupations, their next appointment was dragged all the way till this day.
“I thought you were never going to come back. Do you want coffee or black tea?” The doctor continued before he could reply, “Oh, I forgot. You don’t drink tea, would you be fine with an americano?”
The man received the cup, he stared at the black liquid. “You think a person’s habits could suddenly change?”
“Depends.” The doctor sat across from him. “Do you have new worries?”
Ah-Jiang went quiet for a bit, then proceeded to speak of the changes in the young male. He didn’t tell the doctor who it was, he only set up an example.
When the doctor listened to the end, even he was a bit astonished.
His back leaned against the chair. “Incredible.” He smiled as his brows quirked up.
“It sounds…just as if the individual’s soul was switched.
Although it was simply a thoughtless comment, it caused Ah-Jiang’s heart to thump.
In the end, Deputy Director Jiang’s* problem still wasn’t solved. His phone vibrated as he drove. He took his attention off the road for a second to look, it was from Shi Tou, there was a picture attached as well. Shi Tou went to sign up for a chef training course in the city and just reported there today, the picture was of him and a few other students together.
Ah-Jiang looked at the young male in the picture standing next to a few other young men and women, nothing odd could be seen.
He remembered when he first took Shi Tou there to sign up for the course. Shi Tou hid behind him timidly. He seemingly wanted to look, yet didn’t dare to.
Beep beep──
An irritated honk came from behind, the red light had turned green at some point.
Ah-Jiang pinched the center of his eyebrows, he kept telling himself that it was just all him overthinking it…for a few days, he consulted many professionals in the range of the matter, all their answers ambiguous. After all, people in this world do hear about normal people turning into idiots, but almost no one’s heard of an idiot from birth suddenly turning into a normal person.
But again, this wasn’t entirely a bad thing, right?
Little Rock wasn’t slow-witted and dumb anymore, he could do a lot more by himself. He even learned how to use the laptop, roughly being able to type. Aside from Ah-Jiang, he also made many other friends. His actions weren’t strange anymore, his thought process wasn’t in a single straight line anymore…
Ah-Jiang abruptly woke in the bed from shock. He sat up to see the young male sleeping soundly next to him.
So peaceful, so tranquil.
He reached out his hand to touch Shi Tou’s hair softly, just like the many nights in the past. He lowered his head, just as he wanted to kiss the other’s lips, he suddenly stopped.
He got up and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower.
Once his desire died down, he held his face with his hands. He suddenly fell into an uncertainty that he’d never experienced before.
In that instance he realized, his Little Rock seemed to have vanished…?
What exactly did it mean to love a person? Was loving a person to love their soul? Was it to love their appearance? Their status, fame, or wealth? Honestly, every loving couple has something that attracts their partner, it is because so that they’re able to become closer.
Deputy Director Jiang* had already taken a step into an alley with no exit. He became aware that the young male next to him was alike yet different from his Little Rock.
He didn’t dislike him. Of course, he still liked him. Compared to before, he could feel Shi Tou’s love and dependency on him. There wasn’t the same loving and to be loved mode between them anymore. Shi Tou began to have his own opinions and make his own judgments. His changes were so clear. Almost everyday, his knowledge of this world advanced more and more, he wasn’t the same lonesome idiot anymore. His world wasn’t so narrowed anymore.
Was Ah-Jiang happy? He didn’t know.
He was lost the entire time. From some point on, he even stopped touching his body. Their kisses became not as natural either. Ah-Jiang realized, a feeling of guilt would grow in him. He felt that doing those acts was like betraying his dumb little idiot.
But Shi Tou seemed to have realized, he was sensitive and intelligent now. How could he not know from sleeping beside that man every night?
Unknowingly, Ah-Jiang even avoided meeting eyes. He stood at the door, sending Ah-Jiang out like usual.
After Ah-Jiang put on his leather shoes and was about to leave, Shi Tou suddenly went on tip-toes, wanting to kiss him; but Ah-Jiang pushed him away.
Shi Tou stumbled as he stepped backwards a bit. Ah-Jiang was stunned too. They looked at each other, both of them could see the surprise in each other’s eyes.
Then Shi Tou rubbed his nose, smiled, and waved his hand. “Go ahead. If you don’t hurry up, you’re going to get stuck in a morning traffic jam.”
Ah-Jiang replied in an unnatural manner as he opened the door.
Aside from that, their interactions were still very harmonious.
Very harmonious…that was it.
Shi Tou stood in front of the French window. He looked down, the world had changed so much, no signs from the past could be found.
Thousands of years of memory, they all returned so abruptly. He had fallen into hesitation before, and was lost too. But only because Ah-Jiang was still by his side that helped him to not stay in the hole.
Shi Tou leaned his forehead against the window, he scratched his head and finally sighed.
There was no culinary class today, so he went to the nearby market, wanting to buy ingredients for dinner. Anywhere that people existed, it was Jianghu. He hadn’t walked too far from the market yet and he could already hear a woman screaming.
“A robber!”
Constable Shi’s conditional reflex from thousands of years ago kicked in just in time. He instantly shouted towards the direction, “Stop right there!”
He chased after the robber.. The robber with the woman’s purse slipped away extremely fast. But Shi Tou—who’d been bullied by other kids since he was young—his speed was something else. Along with the memories from thousands of years ago, he was certain to perform a few techniques. With one jump and a turn, he caught onto the robber. The robber pulled a pocket knife out from nowhere, swinging it around out of control. A long slit was made around Shi Tou’s elbow, but he didn’t panic. He grabbed and pulled the robber’s hand behind his back, then gave him a harsh chop on the neck to finally settle him down.
The cop who chased after panted as he patted Shi Tou’s shoulder. “This little bro, you got some great skills!”
Shi Tou smiled as he subconsciously made a fist bow. “No no, it was merely some simple techniques. I was simply helping out a comrade, there is no need to thank me.”
His words had the cop confused. Why does this kid talk so weird?
Shi Tou stilled for a bit before realizing, he quickly put down his hands in a bow, chuckled awkwardly and quickly left.
Shi Tou returned gloomly. After searching for a while, he finally found the first aid kit in the house. He bandaged himself up. He was proficient, it looked as if he had done this many times before.
Then, when he turned around, he finally realized he’d lost his groceries from chasing the robber. Though it was good he still had his wallet on him.
He rubbed his nose, he’s not gonna be able to cook tonight. He’ll just go out with Ah-Jiang for dinner.
But Shi Tou didn’t expect Ah-Jiang to return home so late. He was even covered in the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, though he was completely conscious. Shi Tou remembered that Ah-Jiang had a black-hole-like tolerance against alcohol, he’d never seen him drunk before.
Ah-Jiang seemed to be a bit surprised too when he saw that he hadn’t gone to sleep. Standing at the doorway, he wasn’t sure if he should go in or not. His expression was extremely odd.
Shi Tou blinked and asked, “Did you eat yet? I can go make some noodles for you.”
“I ate.” In the end, Ah-Jiang came in. He pulled his necktie and asked in return, “Did you eat yet?”
That day was the first time he didn’t come back home to eat, he didn’t even notify the other. Ah-Jiang thought that Shi Tou wouldn’t be so stupid as to wait for him and not haven eaten anything for the entire night.
Shi Tou nodded, letting out a sound in agreement with a smile.
“You should get to bed early.”
Ah-Jiang seemed very exhausted, he didn’t want to say anything extra.
Shi Tou said, “You sleep first, I’m going to look over the material for tomorrow’s class.”
Ah-Jiang nodded, he closed the door after Shi Tou left.
He didn’t notice the wound on Shi Tou’s arm at all. In other words, he didn’t even spare him one glance.
After that night, the alienation between them finally surfaced. Ah-Jiang started to return home late every night. Everyday he would create a new record of lateness, yet he still woke up very early every morning. He got basically no sleep in.
They would go on a whole day without any verbal exchange. Though sometimes at night, Shi Tou could feel his gaze on his back. But once he turned around, all there was in his view was Ah-Jiang’s back.
Ah-Jiang still treated him well, he just couldn’t overcome the hill in his heart. He was still immersed in the sentimental attachment he had towards that “Little Rock”. The Shi Tou now didn’t seem like his lover from the past anymore.
The result of Ah-Jiang questioning himself over and over again was making himself fall into an even deeper hole. Slowly, he didn’t have the courage to look at Shi Tou anymore.
It’s not like Shi Tou didn’t realize Ah-Jiang’s slow distancing. He stopped sleeping in the same room as Ah-Jiang. Ah-Jiang didn’t stop him either.
“Ah.”
He’d cut his hand with the kitchen knife. Shi Tou shook it and put it in his mouth to suck on. He looked at the ingredients on the counter and was suddenly depleted. Ah-Jiang wasn’t going to eat them anyway, what was he even making a bunch of dishes everyday for?
Shi Tou walked across the streets without a goal in mind. He walked very far, by the time he came back to his senses, he arrived at the Central Square. The amount of people there that night was less than last time, but almost every pair was a couple. Shi Tou sat in front of the water fountain, he looked at a couple walking past him. The man held onto the woman’s hand with their fingers intersected. Three months ago, Ah-Jiang and he walked past here while holding hands too.
At that time, a noise rang out. Shi Tou turned around to see the foreigner who was making the paintings that night.
He said a bunch of incomprehensible words that Shi Tou couldn’t understand. He could only reply dumbly, the other was a friendly person though. He squatted to set down his art supplies first and then took out the painting he carried with him every single night. It was wrapped by a white cloth, he revealed it in front of Shi Tou.
It was an oil painting. In the drawing was a man and a young male with the beautiful water fountain in the background. The man was bending over, his lips brushing past the corner of the young male’s lips.
The art was too astonishing, Shi Tou was stunned from looking at it. He inevitably reached his hand out, carefully touching the Ah-Jiang in the painting.
With how long this drawing had been left here, Ah-Jiang had probably already forgotten it…
The young male was going to carry the painting above him at first but the art piece wasn’t small. He mounted it back up to cover it again, wanting to bring it home cautiously.
He walked to the outside of the square. The place before him was the high consumption area, there were many taxis. But thin rain had started to pour, so it wasn’t easy to get a taxi.
Shi Tou held on tighter to the painting, he’d rather himself to be drenched.
In front was a five-star hotel. Shi Tou had good eyesight and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes walking out. What coincidence, Ah-Jiang was there too.
But just as he was about to call out, he saw someone else walking out from behind Ah-Jiang.
It was a young man, he had his back turned to him so Shi Tou couldn’t see his face. But the expression that Ah-Jiang showed him, Shi Tou was extremely familiar to it. Ah-Jiang used to look at him like that all the time.
It was so gentle.
They both got in a car together, leaving him behind.
Shi Tou rubbed his face. He felt that his body was cold, even his blood felt cold. He shivered.
That night, Ah-Jiang returned home when it was almost morning. Right when he opened the door, he saw the painting in the living room corner.
Shi Tou just happened to walk out, he was sniffing his nose and blinked as he looked at Ah-Jiang.
Both his eyes and nose were red, it seemed like he was sick.
Ah-Jiang walked over in a bit of a hurry, wanting to check his forehead’s temperature. But Shi Tou lowered his head, he avoided without a miss. Ah-Jiang’s hand stopped in the air as well, then he retrieved it stiffly.
“That painting, did you go get it?”
“Mn.”
“It’s drawn pretty well.”
“Mn.”
The two stood stationarily in one place, with no sound.
When did their conversations even become so distanced? Ah-Jiang’s mouth closed and opened, not knowing what to say, he averted his eyes and pinched the center of his brows. Shi Tou finally realized Ah-Jiang had been getting very exhausted when staying together with him…
He pulled his fingers and raised his head while sniffling. His vocal chord was like a saw being dragged back and forth. “You go busy yourself. I’m going to get some sleep.”
He walked a few steps away, then suddenly turned his head around. He spoke as he looked at Ah-Jiang, “That painting, can I have it?”
Ah-Jiang looked back at him, his voice was hoarse from a sleepless night as well. “It’s always been yours to begin with.”
“Oh…” Shi Tou nodded. “Thank you.” He was so humble.
Shi Tou slept all the way until noon. He made himself noodles after waking up. Once he was full, he went out with the painting. After many bus transfers, he arrived at his destination. It was an old temple, only the great compound from ancient times was left there. Somehow, it was like he’d received an order to be here. Not even the little jumbled alley made him lose his way.
He came to an old courtyard, by the doorway, a blind old man sat on a chair. He held an aged smoke gun from who knows when, swinging it around there.
As if he already knew Shi Tou was going to come, he stopped and smiled at the other. “You’re here?”
Shi Tou walked over. He left something with him, he needed to take it back to his hometown with him.
The blind old man got the black box out from the house. He held it carefully before passing it into Shi Tou’s hands.
Inside the black box was a plaque, it was the plaque of the Pu River’s Lord in An Ling. When a flood occurred hundreds of years ago, the river lord temple was already dismantled with no sight of the plaque to be seen.
The bind old man said, “My Shizu ordered, I needed to pass this to this benefactor in person.”
“May I ask for this savior’s name?”
The blind old man smiled and said, “My Shizu’s Dharma name is Yun Hai.”
So it was that depraved monk, Shi Tou smiled while shaking his head. He opened the black box and looked at the plaque, the words couldn’t be seen anymore. His palms smoothed over it like it was treasure.
“Years ago, my Shizu realized that a part of this benefactor’s soul was hung on the river lord’s plaque, it wouldn’t leave at all. So Shizu kept the plaque well, and ordered for all the disciples down the line to return the soul and plaque back to its owner, no matter at what cost.”
“Your Shizu’s gratitude is something I can never return.”
After bidding farewell to the blind old man, Shi Tou carried the painting with one hand while the plaque stayed in his bag. He proceeded to head towards the train station.
He bought the ticket back to the village. The ride was going to take two days, it was so far away.
Shi Tou squirmed in his seat, swinging slightly along with the train. His forehead leaned against the window as he touched the black box in his embrace.
Ah-Jiang, we’re finally returning home together.
Damm
I’m crying because of their distancing
（Ω Д Ω）

yeah, it’s just an anime. but, if your partner thinks like that, won’t you be really happy? you can show everything about you to your partner without being afraid that they will leave you.
eh. i hope this couple can find their path together in the end too.
