      by MarineTL — Wavering An Ruxin listened to Bai Miaoqing recount the entire story with an almost expressionless, numb face. Bai Miaoqing took a deep breath and looked at her seriously. “The ghost is real. That part is the truth. I said Chen Anran’s wish came true because, when I was a freshman in high school, there was a boy in her middle school class who was close to her. He drowned while swimming in a wild river. That boy must have been the one Chen Anran liked… If you don’t believe me, the newspaper…

      by MarineTL — Dilemma A classroom… submerged in the dark green water… Floating hair… the back of a girl… She turned around. It was Chen Anran’s face. She smiled at An Ruxin—a sweet, gentle smile. And for the first time, An Ruxin didn't hear her through a recording. She truly heard Chen Anran’s voice: “You’ve missed me all this time, haven’t you?” “W-What…” “I’ve missed you too…” “……” “I’m already dead, so even though we miss each other, we can never be…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 51: The Child Who Fainted from Hunger on the Road That night, Li Youde and Dapeng found Zhou Yimin and had a few drinks together. Zhou Yimin bought some braised pig head skin, a plate of stir-fried tripe, and a dish of peanuts. "Comfortable!" Dapeng felt that this was exactly the kind of life he dreamed of. Ever since he started following Zhou Yimin, he could make three to four yuan a day, or at least close to two yuan on a bad day. He would hand over half of his earnings to his mother and…

      by MarineTL — Reservoir 1 A new day. An Ruxin stood at the door of the hotel room and knocked, unhurriedly and steadily. Before coming here to face Bai Miaoqing, she had thought for a long, long time—and finally arrived at her own answer. Yet this answer startled even An Ruxin herself. At first glance, it seemed bizarre. But the more she forced herself to think through the shock, the more reasonable it became—so much so that it felt like everything had returned to its proper place, every cog fitting perfectly…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 52: Deep-Fried Braised Pork Watching their grandson bring home meat again, the old man and old lady were no longer surprised. "Grandpa! I'll be making deep-fried braised pork later. Here's a flashlight for you—it’ll be useful when you get up at night." Zhou Yimin handed over the flashlight. The old man was delighted and played with it for a while like a child. If it weren’t still daytime, he would have taken the flashlight and gone for a stroll around the village. Flashlights weren’t…

      by MarineTL — Reservoir 2 “Before Chen Anran died, during the exploration, she already told you about that matter. You just didn’t realize it.” “……” “Nothing to say, Miaoqing?” “...I think I get what you mean now, Ruxin.” Bai Miaoqing turned her head slightly, revealing a smile—or rather, a sarcastic sneer, like some deep form of self-mockery. “You’re trying to say that the reason Chen Anran asked me to come to the reservoir with her that day was to tell me she had a crush on someone...…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 53: Take a Look for Me The meat in the pot was fried until golden brown, and the pork skin puffed up, forming the characteristic "tiger skin" texture. Only then did Zhou Yimin take the braised pork out. After letting the oil cool slightly, he stored it in a large ceramic jar to be used later for cooking. "Big Brother, is it ready to eat?" Laifang had somehow slipped over and was staring eagerly at the dish. Zhou Yimin shook his head. "Not yet." He then began peeling taro, washing and slicing…

      by MarineTL — Reservoir 3 That note was never meant to arrange a meeting. “It’s obvious, really—once you think about it, it all makes sense.” An Ruxin’s fingers brushed across the diary’s pages. “You two lived right across the hall, not in school. Chen Anran could knock on your door at any time and ask to meet—there was no need to write a note. See, Miaoqing, the question comes back—why did this note exist? Why did she want to give it to you? Connecting it with the diary’s line, ‘It’s the same…

      by MarineTL — “Secret Crush” Bai Miaoqing lifted her head. The sky was dazzlingly bright—so bright it seemed like it might catch fire. She felt like a statue, frozen in place. Bai Miaoqing murmured over and over: I… I never loved her… Ah, yes. An Ruxin was right. Her thoughts drifted hazily—Chen Anran, I admired her, felt grateful to her, envied her, later feared her, resented her… but I never loved her… Ghosts aren’t real…? Chen Anran liked me…? What a joke… how could that be possible……
