Fascinating.

I mean. These aren't crazy high numbers or anything, but there's definitely enough to like.... fill a room at least. Which is great, and the entire justification for my doing this. Just can't help but wonder about those behind the stats.

Not the first or last time I'll be curious about what readers are lurking in the shadows.

百灵 - Lark

清爽的黑色短发、一对瑞凤眼眼尾微微扬起包了一丝媚意，笑起来时一副人畜无害的模样。

他大概也从自己的母亲黄青荷嘴里听说过高文斌和石彪是怎样的人，近朱者赤近墨者黑，所以对方的行为并不让高启强多意外。

Neat, short black hair, a pair of elegant, phoenix eyes, not without a hint of wicked charm, one that attempts to fool the viewer as to their owner’s harmlessness with a smile.

He recalls hearing about the kind of men Gao Wenbin and Shi Biao were from his mother Huang Qinghe. Those close to vermilion are red, and those close to ink are black, so witnessing this for himself didn’t at all surprise Gao Qiqiang.

Innocent high school prostitute Sheng x virgin male brothel patron Qiang. Peer-pressure hazed into sex with his younger brother.

Gao Qiqiang sat as the two stacks of money lay on the table. He stared at them for moment. A single tear rolled down his cheek. He picked them up and carefully examined them. These small stacks. a person’s life was only worth these small stacks.

He understood that someone had died today. Other than the two unlucky fellows who died in the pond, that scrupulous and cowardly Gao Qiqiang, that Gao Qiqiang who struggled to earn a living for decades, that Gao Qiqiang who never cared for his own dignity also died today. He pondered, he lamented, he paced at the line separating good and evil.

The next day, the brilliant sun illuminated the earth, but Gao Qiqiang’s sun never rose again.

I did find it humorous that An Xin literally spells out 孙子兵法 for him when there’s probably not a single native Chinese person who doesn’t know this book. Although I find it curious that he apparently also recommended 紅樓夢, as it’s shown later.

还有兵法，要连读。

*An Xin recommends that Gao Qiqiang read The Art of War (Sun Zi’s Military Methods, 孙子兵法) and writes down the title for him. Gao Qiqiang reads only the first two characters, which literally translates to “grandson”, but is often used as a derogatory term similar to “bastard”.
