Along the road, parasol trees spread in a lush canopy, dappling the pavement with shimmering, oily patches of sun that filtered through the dense leaves. An orange mountain bike glided down the street, its small pedals pushed by a pair of white sneakers. Above them, two slender, snow-white ankles peeked out from the cuffs of cropped denim-blue jeans.

Peaches and Plums Don’t Speak – Chapter 38

by Little Panda — What Does It Feel Like to Like Someone? Yan Xi wasn’t entirely sure why her conversation with Anzhi had reached a stalemate. Anzhi had never been very willing to reveal her inner thoughts, even from a young age. No matter how upset she was, she would just hide somewhere and cry in secret.

Yan Xi had originally thought that now that Anzhi was in her adolescence, she would want her…

by Little Panda — Midsummer (Part 1) The summer was hot. Anzhi had been riding her bike outside for a few days and hadn't been diligent about reapplying sunscreen, so she got sunburned. She had no choice but to obediently stay cooped up at home. Yan Xi flicked her forehead and applied a layer of chilled aloe vera gel to her reddened face. She repeatedly reminded her to put on sunscreen properly—if she went out, she had to use a high-SPF one and reapply it. At her age, Anzhi understood the importance of beauty and…

"I'll get down and walk… I'm… heavy…" The woman holding her laughed, a crisp, clear sound. "You're just like a little kitten. Not heavy at all. My two nephews are much heavier than you. Usually, when I'm home, they hang off me and I can't even shake them off." "Nephews?" "A nephew is my older brother's son. They're twins.…
