Wang Li tiptoed and gently kissed Xu Chen's forehead. "I came to be with you because of love, you silly boy."
The two bickered and teased their way back to the thatched hut. It was late at night, and Wang Li was taking a bath inside, while Xu Chen sat on the steps by the door, smoking cigarettes Wang Li had bought for him. Suddenly, a figure slowly appeared before Xu Chen's eyes.
