I have read many many cnovels over the years, but the one that has always stuck with me was 清明记 (Story of Qing Ming) by 清朗 (aka 赵晨光) since I first read it more than 10 years ago. It’s a short one at only 18 chapters, telling the story of the titular character Qing Ming, an assassin from the rebel city of Yu Jing. Of course he becomes ‘bosom friends’ with Pan Bai Hua a politically savvy minister from the capital... and spoiler alert, it does not end well.
This is my favourite part of the novel, describing Qing Ming entering the capital on his final mission to assassinate Pan Bai Hua. He has always been one to accept the life he has been born into but when he catches a glimpse of Pan Bai Hua in the sea of plum blossoms, he knows this man has been properly imprinted in his heart.
The author wrote an extra chapter set in modern times and gave the reincarnated PBH/QM their happy ending. While I appreciated having that extra chapter on my first reading, years later I preferred the original ending. While they cared deeply for each other and recognized that this person was the only one to truly know me, it doesn’t change the fact that they were from opposing camps. Well, PBH tried to force QM to change sides but they were always ones who walked their chosen path till the end.
I’m not sure if there are English translations out there of this author’s novels, they are really well written wuxia works. Not explicitly BL but many ‘bosom friends’ bonds.......
===
On current reading materials, I finished 嫁纨绔 the novel that upcoming (maybe??) cdrama Chang Feng Du 长风渡 is based on. Really enjoyed the story and the host of characters from mains to villains, so fingers crossed that the drama gets to air and hopefully the script writers don’t mangle the story. I got started on another novel 山河枕 (Mountain and River Pillow) by the same author but got bored around chapter 55. The ML isn’t doing anything for me so far, I’m actually more interested in the ex-husband hahaha. Maybe I should try 四嫁 instead where the ex-husband is the ML!
Please throw novel recommendations my way, especially wuxia ones. I have a 12 hour flight and week long work retreat coming up zzzzzz
Long overdue since Qingming has long since pass (oops).
Blade x gn! Reader
Takes place in game — not canon though

Please read to the end for credits and reference.
━━━━━━ ⊙ ❖ ⊙ ━━━━━━
Shoes echoes through the barren halls. The figure moves through the doorway, his steps slow. And then he stops. Right in front of the wall of name plaques. His red eyes scanned the whole wall, searching for a particular name and walking to it right as he spots it. He carefully pulls out a clean cloth — and with care, wiped down the plaque. It didn’t need to be cleaned, as workers everyday made sure all plaques are cleaned out of respect. Once he was done, he placed the bouquet of white chrysanthemums in front of it then sits down.
The figure couldn’t help but think of their death. Of the three that had to pay a price, he alone had to pay the biggest. He made a promise to them and he broke it. The what ifs began to speed through his head. He’s died once, and he wants to die again. He wishes he can be with them in the afterlife. That is, if Mengpo doesn’t make him drink her soup. Not that he could see them anyway. Not after what he’s done.
He places two cups and pulls out a jar of wine. After filling both cups, he took his and raised it — drinking it all after.
“I’m sorry,” was the first thing he said to them, “I’m sorry for dragging you into this mess.”
He wants to apologize but no matter what he says, he knows no explanation could cut it. It was his error in action. In emotion. There was no way words can express his regrets.
“我与你的记忆损乱了,“ a tear slips from his eye, “你长得什么样,我也记不了了。我也记不住你的声音了。我只能记得你的名字,但也记不了多久了。“ [Memories of me and you have been messed up… The way that you looked, I cannot remember. I also cannot remember your voice. I only remember your name, but I cannot remember that for long either.]
The figure sat in silence for a bit before starting once more, “当年,如果不是我,也不是丹枫的话,你今日该会是什么样了?你还会像以前一样跟景元玩象棋吗?跟丹枫看书?跟镜流和白珩逛街?或者跟我练功?” he drank another cup full of wine, “可惜,三个付出代价去了,一个早已离去,最后一个孤独的留在了罗浮。不知你和白珩有没有相遇。我想是。我们当时挣扎了好久,现在平安多了。你若在的话,肯定会喜欢现在罗浮的环境。“ [That year, if it wasn’t for me, and Dan Feng, what would you have been like today? Would it be like it was then, with you playing xiangqi with Jing Yuan? Reading with Dan Heng? Shopping with Jing Liu and Baiheng? Or would you have been sparring with me? …. Sadly, three paid a price, one has departed, and the last one is left lonely on Luofu. I don’t know if you and Baiheng have caught up. I’d like to think you guys did. Our time was so messy, but Luofu today is much peaceful. If you were here, you’d definitely like Luofu today.]
Amidst his rambling, another figure approached. She stood right behind him, gazing up on the plaque.
“It’s time you wrap it up, Bladie.”
Blade hummed in acknowledgment, “Just a little more time.”
The lady stared at him a bit longer before sighing and heading out, saying she’ll be waiting for him at the entrance. After he was sure he was alone again, he spoke softly.
“是时候该走了。如果我没有捅你一刀,你今天应该还会在吧。对不起,这是我最后一次能看你了。仙舟没有我的地方了。在这个人生里,可能再也不会有人像你一样叫我的名字了。我永远也不可能是应星了。” [It’s time I should get going. If I didn’t stab you that day, you would probably still be here. I’m sorry, this is my last time seeing you. There’s no longer a place for me on Xianzhou. In this life, there will be no one to say my name the way you do. And I will never be able to be Yingxing anymore.]
Blade gets up and places the jar of wine next to the filled cup. After, he bows to the name plaque three times. Then, he turns and walks out of the room — leaving Luofu till his death arrives.
永别了。。。[Farewell…]
亲爱的。[My beloved.]
─── ∙ ↤THE END↦ ∙ ─---
I've been thinking, should I make banners specifically for the characters I write? Or would that be too much? Cuz right now, I can't decide on a banner for each story.
Qingming 清明: Called Tomb-Sweeping day in the west. People visit the graves of their deceased love ones. Even going as far as cleaning and retouching graves. It’s customary to offer food and wine (or other beverages they loved).
White Chrysanthemums: White flowers, mainly white chrysanthemums are placed during funeral and the dead. Don’t gift these to people please (unless you desperately wish for that person to perish).
Mengpo 孟婆: A deity in the underworld that gives passing souls her specialty called 孟婆汤 (mengpo soup) that would wipe their memories for their journey in their next life.
Bowing three times: I was taught this at a young age, but when bowing to gods and ancestors, you bow three times. Usually it’s very quick, but I like to take it slow (cuz I think it shows deeper respect).
He has short blond hair, light blue eyes, and an aggressive pointed nose.
There is a huge scar on the right forehead. A tattoo on the inside of his left forearm but is damaged by a scar. Both forearms were covered with scars made by knife. In addition, there are countless scars on his body, some of which are left by knife, some of which are left by wolves.
Garth is a neurotic, selfish, arrogant, and cunning man. His good family background and rich knowledge make him have the arrogance to master everything, so once the development of things is not expected, he will lose his temper like a child.
Garth's parents are geologists and biologists from Birmingham, UK, they are typically old-fashioned and stubborn intellectuals. Influenced by his parents, Garth has rich natural knowledge and a northern English accent.
During the gold rush around 1900, Mr. Igneous and his wife come to Alaska with their 18-year-old son Hull, 16-year-old daughter Liz and 10-year-old Garth for research. Along with them is Jason Stamford, 26, a tutor for the children. The young Garth is in need of his parents, but the couple's work is very busy, they entrust Jason with the task of taking care of Garth and teaching him to read and write.
Jason is a talented young man with a major in paleontology. He was once a student of Garth's father. Because of polio, his left leg muscles atrophy and he can only walk with a walking stick. Various complications lead to his weakness and emaciation. But this does not kill his tenderness and love of life. These beautiful virtues also deeply influenced Garth.
As a sickly child, Garth does not like the outdoors, so he spends a lot of time with Jason in addition to attending classes. The two talk like father and son, read books and learn the piano, and their bond grows.
When Garth turns 18, he boldly confesses his hot, confused admiration to Jason. Jason also likes the studious and enthusiastic boy, but the work ethic makes him turn him down. Jason, who is also gay, does not criticize Garth's unusual sexuality, but encourages him to be himself and not go against his will.
但是这些事都被加什的父母看在眼里,他们辞退了詹森。加什与父母大吵了一架。
But Garth's parents see all this, and they fire Jason. Garth has a big fight with his parents.
Jason returns home to Manchester in poor health, but keeps up a close correspondence with Garth, offering gentle advice on the young man's troubles and doubts. Jensen died three years later, when Garth is 22.
In 1919, when Garth is 25 years old, he has a very heated argument with his parents about his professional planning. His parents have arranged work and marriage for him in detail and ask him to marry the daughter of a local investor in order to obtain academic financial support. Garth impulsively tells them his sexual orientation and desire for freedom. His parents are very angry, abuse Jason for instilling bad illusion into his son. In a rage, Garth packs up and leaves home.
Half of year ago, Garth's parents meet Anderson Hastings (27) from the south of the US. This handsome and wealthy young man is looking for the assistance of experts in geology and biology for his career. He is gorgeous in clothes and spokes appropriately and is soon recognized by the Ignoneus family. The two young people meet and become intimate.
加什离家出走之后理所当然的去投奔了安德森,他很快就带着加什踏上了去往苏联出差的游轮。两人开始热恋。
Garth runs away from home and goes to Anderson. Anderson soon takes Garth on a cruise ship to the Soviet Union for a business trip.
Anderson never hides his sexual orientation and introduces Garth as his boyfriend which makes Garth feel safe. But what Garth doesn't expect is that Anderson just takes him as a property could show off.
In addition, Anderson is a control freak playboy. He believes that love is only a trade. He provides his boyfriends with luxurious living conditions, and the only thing the boys need to do is following his arrangement. He thinks that Garth's idea of finding a spiritual partner is very boring and meaningless.
In that time, the phenomenon of money-laundering through academic research projects becoming popular among the rich. Most of the people Anderson takes Garth to see are such dandies. The days on the cruise ship are extravagant and chaotic. Garth feels helpless and disgusted at the atmosphere. Andrei Berekov (23) appears during this time.
Andrei is the quietest member of the group of Soviet scholars. While everyone drinks and socialize, he would sit in a quiet corner and write alone. Garth finds out that Andre, like himself, is also the one who has false expectations for this so-called academic trip. Moreover, Garth is shocked by his knowledge of botany (although Andre's accent makes it difficult for them to communicate).
Contrary to Anderson, the gentle Andre can always see the flash in Garth's soul. He respects every inspiration and idea of Garth and can turn every chat into a friendly and meaningful academic discussion. This is the kind of relationship state that Garth has been pursuing.
At the same time, the relationship between Garth and Anderson is disintegrating. Anderson arranges cocktail party bender to introduce Garth to celebrities in the academic circle. He buys ways for Garth to publish his unfinished paper and plans everything for him without authorization. The only thing Garth needs to do is being a good boy to flatter Anderson. All this violates Garth's principles. They row again and again and break up.
Then Andre and Garth fall in love. He introduces Garth to his family and live together in his hometown in Belarus for some time. Later, the two decide to go to the University of Edinburgh for master's degree in plant taxonomy.
A year and a half later, they graduate. Andre proposes to Garth at the graduation ceremony. After secretly exchanging rings, the two men embark on a trip to the Arctic Circle.
In 1923, the two men come to Yukon, Canada, and have a dispute with another group of fur hunters and they are maliciously retaliated. Andre is beaten to death. After being cut off his genitals, his body is hung in a tree and displayed with an "I'm a sodomite" sign around his neck. Garth is imprisoned and forced to watch his lover's body being eaten by crows in the aurora of the polar night. A few days later, with his last breath, he escapes, rides all the way south, and is finally saved.
This nightmare experience is a great blow to him, and the cruel torture leaves a huge ugly scar on his right scalp and countless scars on his body. He suffers from serious bipolar disorder, self-mutilation, and suicidal tendencies. He used to be a very gentle and humorous man, but now he has become an infamous one and gets the nickname of Yukon mad dog.
It is rumored that Garth finds the hunting team that hurt him years ago and retaliated against them with extremely cruel methods, but, the police let him stay in prison for only a short time because of his mental problems.
It's just a rumor. No one knows what Garth does to them. People just never see those people again in the Yukon.
Although Garth's mental problems are very serious and his behavior is very uncontrollable, it is indisputable that he is the most outstanding wolf hunting expert in this area. In 1932, he is invited to join a hunting team. They plan to go south to hunt large prey for fur.
In early winter, Garth meets Hart, a forest ranger. Hart's merciless attack drives the team out of the forest, while the gloomy and fierce ranger attracts Garth's attention. He thinks it is all good to kill him or be killed by him.
Garth soon finds that although the ranger's attack is fierce and threatening, he doesn't seem to really want to kill them. Garth leaves the team, returns to the cabin alone, and begins to test Hart's patience by taking the initiative to attack. Hart responds to his attack almost immediately.
As Garth thought, Hart does not intend to kill him - each shot wipes his cheek and flies over, only a few centimeters away.
Garth almost immediately indulges in this dangerous game.
Hart's reaction satisfies him - his counterattack would not only really pose a threat to himself, but also could excite Garth. Although Garth himself knows that this morbid emotion originates from the psychological shadow leaves in his heart when he faces death, which makes him afraid, manic, want to cry, want to laugh, it is the only time that he could feel alive.
However, this absurd and dangerous duel does not end with the death of one party. On a snowy day, Hart forces Garth to a dead end, but he doesn't pull the trigger, just askes him why he does it. Garth cries and laughs, says he wants to die.
Garth couldn't figure out why Hart has so many chances to kill him but doesn't do it. Hatred and fear have been burning in his heart for too long, burning the grassland of his inner world to black. However, from that day on, he could feel that a beam of light comes in through the black smoke, and something is slowly sprouting again.
They do not have any detailed communication and exchange and do not mention the inexplicable gun battle. The two freaks just share a bonfire, say a few words, and then naturally act together.
Garth knows that nature also has many strange partners, such as raven and jackal, Greater Honeyguide and honey badger. Some partners can even act together all their lives. Even if one party dies, the other will not find a new one. Maybe they are such animals, too.
"Has anyone ever said that you look very familiar after taking off your glasses?"
"It depends on how you understand, Mr. Wayne. Or rather, Batman. Put down the Batdart, you know it doesn't work."
It's machine translated, not sure if it's accurate. Sorry my English is not good enough.
内含彩蛋*1,应该还挺明显的,在背景中墙上的画里。文本框阅读顺序:右→左。 画的过程中和群友讨论了一种大胆的场景:人来人往的宴会上,冷清的角落里,布鲁斯坐在克拉克的腿上。 大宅里其他客人(只能看到两个人在角落里贴):嗯,韦恩先生又去勾搭记者了,屡见不鲜,散了散了 实际上俩人在吵嘴 :) 我觉得这很可爱。Easter eggs are paintings on the background wall. :)
对于Bruce也许坐在Clark腿上这一点,我的朋友画了一张设想图给我,我看完笑死了,好喜欢,所以我post她的想法在这里的第五张图片。这张草图韦恩还在偷偷戳克拉克的手臂肌肉…我笑死了,大厅里其他人都未必看得到这个动作,这是做戏吗老爷!果然是真的想摸吧!克拉克:生气归生气手在韦恩大腿上扶好眼睛还盯着韦恩的胸…P5 is a picture given by my friend. During the process of I drawing this picture, I discussed with her that it looks like Bruce is sitting on Clark's lap. So she gave me this picture. And I laughed to death after reading it. I really like it, so I also post it here. She is really a genius. I always enjoy chatting with her while drawing because she can always give me a lot of inspiration. So the scenario is:
At the bustling banquet, in a deserted corner, Bruce sat on Clark's lap.
Other guests at the banquet (only able to see two people affectionately in the corner): "Well, Mr. Wayne has gone to hook up with reporters again, it's not uncommon, we won't pay too much attention to it."
Actually, the two are arguing:
Bruce: So you're Superman??
Clark(with glasses removed): And you're Batman, we both have a little secret. What do you have to accuse me of? (Angry, but glancing at Wayne's chest muscles, open a X-ray *)

你霸占我家十五年不走
今天算笔账别找理由
一日三餐房租水电煤气费
你开车也是我加油
为你打理相馆我全年无休
受欺负靠我出头
还钱走人
既往不咎
否则与你誓死不休
友情算了吧
你我也算了吧
凭什么我要倒贴一切来当你的管家
友情算了吧
你我也算了吧
要不是我爸同意
你怎会留在这里
oh收拾行李搬家出去
光光你让一下,别溅你一脸血。
程小时
我是时光相馆的看门狗
在食物链下层游走
一个算盘打得精的老友
免费打工完成委托
房租就当丢根骨头
另一个冷漠无情新的朋友
时光代理人靠配合
只是霸凌我的噱头
你们算了吧
友情都算了吧
把我逼急了土狗也变狼狗
你们算了吧
友情都算了吧
我疯起来对自己下狠手
Oh算了吧友情都算了吧
干脆我原地上吊立刻动手
房子变凶宅死也不走
陆 光
以毒攻毒的小把戏
朋友间足够了解才能算计
时常上演决裂的闹剧
有反派才能齐心
朋友吵闹该如何解题
用狠话引起在意就是谜底
朋友的账单该要如何算清
付出总无法定义
算了吧
陪两个傻瓜玩游戏
程小时
那就算了吧
宽容是我人格魅力
乔 苓
只能算了吧
我发脾气就当你偿还利息

曾以为并不会失去你
现在我该如何去哪里
当丢失你讯息中断联络频率才看透改写赛局覆盖原本轨迹
你提醒过我误解了怨你冷漠全都怪我害你坠落时空漩涡
程小时
看不清听不见抓不住找不到你身影猜不透道不破想不明画不出你痕迹
哪个时空有你行踪
会不会你彻底被抹去消失不见
只要能挽救我一定不顾一切
难道非要回拨指针
回到过去时间暂停重来
可无数个过去拼凑所有未来
除非回到最初就算你我没相遇
让时间重来过
我必须要回去拯救你

陈潇妈
老子从来和你讲道理你懒求得听
那些为你好的话你娃当你妈念经
你要不是老子亲生的哪个吃饱了才管你
喊你平时多读一点书硬是搞得像要命
不晓得你脑壳头装的是啥子
早晓得生儿子老子单身一辈子
攒劲学习考个第一是为你个人努力
篮球摄影没得出息将来你只能种地
程小时
hold on,hold on,这么玩是吧
battle我可没怕过谁
望子成龙是种包装掌控欲是爱的假象
听话才获得褒奖无视孩子心中理想
陈潇妈
出人头地才算理想,不务正业那叫妄想
成绩是唯一方向
再打篮球我打你两巴掌
程小时
别再白费口舌谁的人生谁负责
成功不用钱来衡量我的未来不是你的战场

M9给妈妈的信
作曲:余婧
作词:陈璐
程小时
我记得你饭菜的味道
我知道你也不想唠叨
那些你数落的话还在耳边
怎么温情的画面转眼不见
看你皱眉想起她的眼尾
若有机会也想和她斗嘴
明明这些年早已学会习惯
藏起她背影别让思念试探
想要写封信怪她
怎么说话不算话
我一直听话相馆又没搬家
再不出现忘记你啦
我记得你唱过的童谣
不重要童年不算难熬
只是偶尔也羡慕别的伙伴
不过有那么几回掉过眼泪
想要写封信问她
地址是梦境对吗
如果你听见梦里等你回话
不说话就当你答应啦
我在等你
小时妈
月亮别睡小宝贝他怕黑
拍怕你的背别流泪
星星别睡替我看看宝贝
妈妈抱抱你别皱眉
妈妈在梦里别怕黑
M10分裂时光
作曲:Metablue 赛博蓝
作词:陈璐
陆 光
看着你的我 失魂落魄 无可又奈何
可笑的我委屈难说 谎言已被戳破
一句散伙切割你我过往全部褪色
聚散别离 苦果也是结果
假如重来过 任你犯错 改写别人生活
袖手旁观 等你闯祸 此刻你会如何
怪我该提醒却隐瞒忽略了
妄想操纵委托
情绪教唆信任被挑拨
门外灯光暗了 进退别无选择
失望携手苦涩也怂恿着我
门内时间定格背叛在煽风点火
时光拉扯 倔强的你 自负的我
这规则困住你我 越坚守越是坠落
注定的宿命结果 不是你我能够逆转的
跨越着两个时空 命运这无情铁笼
过去与现在纠葛无法逃脱
黑夜与白昼交手就像你我
门外灯光暗了 门内时间定格
沉默携手夜色从眼前擦过
规则的守护者 插手博弈也是我
时光拉扯 倔强的你 自负的我
无论过去 不问将来 输了

没穿过耐克 自己画个倒钩
羡慕同学有爸妈开车接送
他吹牛家里游艇正在维修
这个蠢货幻想有两个朋友
一个叫尼克另一个叫马修
还以为是他国外的笔友
所谓的朋友全都是他虚构
说尼克是狮子马修是条狗
用秘密威胁他做我朋友
却提了个要求
家长会
我爸装他大舅
尼克马修其实是孤独的魔咒
若有人陪伴谁会如此荒谬
所有的情绪靠幻想找个出口
喜怒哀愁和故事书去交流
自我欺骗才能排解烦忧
这个倒霉蛋我认识十五年之久
你是除了我以外他唯一的朋友
看过了彼此的伤口应该更宽容
别被情绪左右一起向前走
如果我是尼克你来做马修
他渴望的两个朋友 你和我送他拥有尼克和马修他童年的缺口
填补了他的梦你我别放手
尼克和马修吹过最离谱的牛
能不能和我一起将他心愿保留

程小时
石头剪刀出布就拉倒 你的底牌就这一招
陆 光
摆烂自闭冷战绝交 你底牌也很无聊
程小时
论阴阳怪气你第二没人第一
陆 光
翻旧帐你第一oh 别谦虚
程小时
既然没诚意就和好暂停
毒舌古板装酷傲娇顶着扑克脸看谁都像没还你钱
陆 光
幼稚抠门冲动愚蠢相馆没倒闭是奇迹
程小时
失败就怪我成功的全都归你
下次穿越你自己搞定
陆 光
说到底这才是你的底气 合二为一是前提
时/光
揭开底牌
契约绑定不可分离
彼此能力要共赢
陆 光
我预知未来
程小时
我穿越回去
时/光
若命运洗牌新的能力
新的伙伴到来
或许不如你
这样想来你勉强可以
程小时
旧帐算一遍
我只是在意不被认可
我们协作
不甘心我总是闯祸
陆 光
旧帐都翻篇
也怪我从前主导太多
放眼未来不计前嫌
时/光
揭开底牌
契约绑定不可分离
彼此信任是唯一
别回望过去
别在意将来
用你我能力无所畏惧
新的挑战到来
我终于明白
朋友才是最后的底牌

… … … … …
HC: Rather than begging others, it’s better to do it yourself. If you want to crawl out of the abyss, what’s the use in relying on others? Other people cannot come to your rescue every time. 求人不如求己,若想爬出深渊,指望旁人有什么用?旁人总不会次次来救。
XL: That’s why gods are needed. 所以才需要神啊。
HC: But if everyone wishes to be saved by gods, what of the gods themselves? Do gods not tire? 可若人人都指望神来救,那神要怎么办?神不会累吗?
XL: …!
… … … … …
Crowd: That youth is so talented! 那少年好厉害呀!
Crowd: Who is that? 那是谁啊?
Crowd: Such a handsome young man! 好俊的少年啊!
Crowd: He reached the top so quickly! 一下子就登顶了!
Crowd: He picked it! 他摘下来了!
Crowd, cheering: So impressive!
HC: Gege. 哥哥。
XL: Congratulations. 恭喜你了。
HC: Here. 喏。
XL: Gold flower…this is for me? 金花……这是给我的?
HC: It’s not as if I know any other gods. Who else could I give it to? 我又不认识别的神仙,不给你给谁呢?
HC: Although, this thing isn’t worth anything. If gege doesn’t like it, just throw it away. 不过这东西不值钱,哥哥若不喜欢便扔了吧。
XL: No! I like it very much! Thank you. 不!我很喜欢!谢谢。
XL, thinking: Speaking of which, I can barely remember how long it’s been since I last received flower offerings… (说起来,我都记不清有多少年没被供过花了……)
HC: Since gege has accepted my flower, shouldn’t my wish be granted as well? 既然哥哥收了我的花,那是不是也要实现我的愿望呢?
XL: You’re so all-capable; can there even be a wish I can help you with? 你这么神通广大,还有我能帮你实现的愿望?
HC: Don’t be so sure. No matter how capable I am, there are some things in this world for which I am powerless. 那可不一定。世上有些事,我在神通广大也无能为力。
XL: Then what is your wish? Perhaps I really can offer the best of my meager assistance. 那你的愿望是什么?说不定我真能略尽绵薄之力。
… … … … …
XL: To have all beneath heaven flow in accordance with heart’s will is the martial path of a champion; upright and confident; thus enduring. You are only attacking wildly — do you take yourself as a mercenary with a death wish? 天下归心流乃王者之武道,方正大气,方能久远。你一味疯打,当自己是舔刀尖卖命的死士?
Lang Qianqiu: Shut up! 闭嘴!
XL: What’s with you? Did you forget all the basics? You’re leaving openings from head to toe. At this rate, you will die by my hand within three moves. 你怎么回事,要义全忘光了?你浑身上下都是破绽,再这样下去不出三招你就要死在我手里。
LQQ: What right do you have to lecture me?! 你凭什么教训我!
XL: Three. Arm, retract! 三。手臂,收!
XL: If I had struck with the edge of my sword rather than the flat, your arm would already be cut off. 如果我这一剑不是一剑身平拍,而是一剑锋直斩,你的手已经断了。
LQQ: Are you done yet— 你有完没完——
XL: Two. Centre of gravity, tilted! 二。重心,偏了!
LQQ: What are you fighting for?! 你在打什么!
XL: You’re the one that wanted to fight! 是你自己要打的!
XL: One. Beneath your feet, unstable! 一。足下,飘了!
XL: Three moves have passed. You are already dead. 三招已过,你已经死了。
… … … … …
HC: Is that all you wanted to say? 你要说的就是这个?
XL: What else did you want me to say? 你还想我说什么?
HC: For instance, ask whether I am human. 比如,问我是不是人。
XL: Huh?
XL: Why would I ask that? 为什么要问这个?
HC: Is there no need? 没必要吗?
XL: Is there a need? Did you act like a human in any way? 有必要吗?你有哪一点表现得像个人吗?
HC: ……
XL, chuckling: San Lang, you’re very powerful but I’ve never met a ghost less serious about disguising themselves than you. 三郎,虽然你很厉害,但你真是我见过伪装得最不上心的鬼了。
HC: Then, if you knew I was powerful, why did you still jump down after me? 那你明知道我很厉害,为什么还要跟着往下跳?
XL: Did you think I jumped because I thought you were weak? 难道你以为我往下跳是因为觉得你很弱吗?
HC: Then why would you worry? 那你为何要担心?
XL: I was worried because it was you. What does your weakness or strength have to do with it? 我担心你当然只是因为你,和你是弱是强有什么关系?
XL: Besides, making friends is based on compatibility, not someone’s identity. 而且,与人相交,看的是投缘不投缘,又不是看身份。
XL: If I like you, you could be a beggar and I would still like you. If I don’t, you could be an emperor and I would still dislike you. Shouldn’t that be how it is? So, there was no need to ask, right? 我若喜欢你,你便是乞丐我也喜欢,我若讨厌你,你就是皇帝我也讨厌,不因该是这样吗?所以,没必要问吧。

* 灵感来自微博网友的一个梦。
“昨天晚上梦到基演。
华生在睡觉,米福上来叫她起床的时候她其实已经醒了。她闭着眼睛装睡,等着米福接下来一系列的出人意料的行为来叫她起床。可是米福没有。
她感觉到米福看了她一会儿,用手握住了她的手。两根手指搭在手腕上,随即又伸出大拇指扣住了她的手腕。
就这样静静地呆了几秒钟,米福就离开了。”

[2] Sherlock Holmes: My sobriety is simply a grind. It's just this leaky faucet which requires constant maintenance. And in return offers only...not to drip. 戒毒是一项苦差事。就像是一个漏水的水龙头,需要经常进行维护。而得到的回报却只是不再漏水。(Elementary, S03E09)
