    Summary

    Xie Lian smiled politely, looking down at the computer screen in front of him. Before even glancing at the next customer, he began to say the practiced greeting. "Good morning. How can I help you today?"

    Upon seeing the customer's face, Xie Lian's stomach sank. Because he didn't see a face at all. The person in front of him wore a dark hood, and their face was obscured by an eerie white smiling mask. It was obvious what was happening. A person would only walk into a bank dressed like that for one reason.

    "I apologise for the disturbance," the stranger said, his voice surprisingly friendly and warm. "I need you to calmly collect as much money as you can and bring it to me without making a scene."

    Summary

    “Look,” Hua Cheng says. “I know there’s still technically, like, a week or two left that we’re supposed to go through, and there’s probably some grand thing I’m supposed to do to announce my decision or whatever. But I’m dying here, can we just, like—cheat? Skip to the good stuff?”

    ———

    Summary

    The person standing slack-jawed, sweaty, eight-years-more-handsome in the doorway of Mu Qing’s new home was none other than the piece-of-shit idiot dog who had broken Mu Qing’s young heart without even trying, Feng Xin.

    “Fuck,” the idiot spoke first, catching Mu Qing while he was still trying to unstick his paralyzed feet from the pavement. “Mu Qing.”

    Mu Qing is a successful fashion design and DIY YouTuber whose two younger siblings have left the nest. He's invited back to L.A. by his friend Xie Lian eight years after dropping out of college to take care of his siblings and dying mother. What he doesn't expect is to be reunited (against his will) with his old college roommate, Feng Xin.

    Summary

    Shi Qingxuan sat in the car for a moment after taking out the key, looking over at Xie Lian and calmly asking, "You sure you're okay with this? I know getting a tattoo can be nerve-racking and seem like a big decision."

    Xie Lian nodded firmly. "Yeah, I'm okay, I've got this. Let's go." He took one more deep breath before he got out of the car, looking up at the sign of the shop. It had red flowers engraved along both sides, with big lettering that read

    GHOST CITY TATTOOS

     

    Or: The Xie Family home burned down mysteriously in the night, leaving nothing but ash in its wake. Ten years later, Xie Lian escapes the man who saved him and has to learn how to live again. His new temporary roommate Shi Qingxuan brings him to get tattoos on a 'self care day', where he meets a strange but alluring tattoo artist he immediately wants to befriend.
