    Summary

    Xiao Weiying wouldn’t exactly call them friends. That suits him just fine. Their relationship does not hinge on conditionals, like with Wang Qing’s “friends,” or hierarchies and power dynamics, like with Xiao Weiying’s family.

    He doesn’t ask and she doesn’t tell. There are no other expectations between them other than that; and thus, no demands and no performances.

    It's hard to believe Wang Qing's conviction after that. You can't expect the adults to take care of the younger ones. They'll kill him before he can ask for help. And he's not a kid anymore. He can't afford to be scared and powerless and waiting for someone to save him. If he is to meet violence head on, he will be victorious and he will revel in it. Nothing is off limits. Bribes and extortion, knives and guns. He will live at the end of this

    Really really good speculative look at a hypothetical relationship dynamic between Wang Qing and Vein. Really thought-provoking with so many interesting character parallels drawn between both of them

    She entered the world holding you, but she left it holding a stranger. You wonder what your mother would say, if she saw how you’ve turned out; if she knew which way you’d tipped the scale, your own survival measured against a last act of love

    Summary

    Lu Guang looks at this god’s statue straight in its face perforated with a firing squad’s worth of bullet holes and believes it has no name.

    Lu Guang keeps his in one hand—angles it slightly to catch where the light curves over Cheng Xiaoshi’s knuckles in a warm orange, and holds another name for God on his tongue

    Summary

    “I respect your privacy, of course,” says Liu Xiao. “It’s a quality essential to any friendship.”

    “We’re not friends.”

    Liu Xiao’s voice is wry. “Aren’t we?”

    The words stick in his throat. It seems too much—everything too much!—of a confession. How much time he had spent obsessing over this unchangeable history, clutching it, wearing it smooth, like a pearl round in his mouth or a pill, trying day after day to swallow the past and only succeeding in choking and gagging on it time and time again, dislodging the tongue and spitting out the bitter spit. Nothing dissolved. Nothing digested

    Liu Min is a scavenger, Tianchen decides. He shares that taste for blood, flashes the occasional threat of fang — but lacks the follow-through. Lives off the work of others
