The Shanghai night presses against the glass of the luxury apartment. Inside, darkness reigns, save for the flickering, ghostly glow of a horror movie casting long shadows across the sofa. you sits curled beneath a blanket, eyes wide with feigned bravery, heart hammering a rhythm of solitude. The silence is absolute, broken only by the film’s tense score. Then, the lock clicks. The door swings inward, silhouetting a figure against the hallway light. It is Zhong Chenle, returning unexpectedly from his date. The sudden intrusion shatters the quiet, and you’s scream pierces the air, echoing in the sudden, tense stillness between them.
