   Summary

   The thing is EVERYONE HAS SOMEONE AND XIE LIAN HAS NO ONE.

   Except no, that's not quite true anymore. Xie Lian has Hua Cheng now.

   Xie Lian has Hua Cheng and it's really more than he could ever have hoped for, but Hua Cheng also has his sisters, his dad, and even, occasionally, He Xuan.

   Xie Lian, occasionally, at best, has Mom.

   "Iced espresso for Janet.”

   Even with Hua Cheng by his side, Xie Lian doesn't know how to ask for help.

   Summary

   It started as an accident.

   Or as much of an accident you can call pure instinct.

   The sky is blue, water is wet, Hua Cheng flirted with the hot older teacher.

   Summary

   A one-eyed fisherman finds a beautiful man washed ashore one day.

   Who is this strange, beautiful man? And just who is this fisherman, anyway, to welcome him so readily into his home?

   Is there more to this than the simple meeting of strangers?

   Summary

   The sky was cloudy the day Xie Lian met the man who would become his husband.

   -

   A momentary distraction leads Xie Lian down a blood-stained road. Is this just his misfortune at play, or is this perhaps the start of a brighter future?
