Summary
The first birthday to pass after their release from the hospital is Lu Guang’s.
Cheng Xiaoshi and Qiao Ling are adamant that they should celebrate, but the concept seems lost on Lu Guang.
*
Memories rush through Qiao Ling: one time that she was there for Lu Guang’s birthday, and one time that she wasn’t.
She’s left wondering how to show someone they’ll always be loved when maybe they don’t know how.
Sometimes, even the purest acts of love and goodwill can be hard to accept.
***
(or:
The second time.
Five times Qiao Ling saw Lu Guang’s memories, and one time she dared to ask.

Summary
If she did not have the power to stop time and make everyone mourn what she was mourning, she would rather be left behind by time itself to rot away.
But while she was not waited for, she was also not left behind to that deep, deep loneliness. No, time was a river stream that would never sink her, and instead would continue to drag her from one place to another. Perhaps from one death to another, perhaps to...
──────────
As everything reaches its climax, Qiao Ling is now forced to live through the falling action and resolution. She stops by the interrogation room where she sat with Li Tianxi one last time, pays Lu Guang a visit after Cheng Xiaoshi's surgery, and finally faces her emotions regarding all the things she saw and witnessed.

Summary
Qiao Ling does a lot for those dumbass boys of hers. Case in point, she is currently bored out of her mind waiting for a brunch appointment who has long passed the point of fashionably late. Even worse, she’s sitting alone and hungry because the prices at this shitty cafe are too high for her to justify shilling out for even the cheapest item on the menu. She’s really got to get those two to start subsidizing these brunch appointments. Cheng Xiaoshi would cry extortion, but Lu Guang would probably give in if she complained enough. Call it the cost of doing business.
It really is their fault that a pretty girl like her had to wake up at an ungodly hour and brave the morning rush just to meet with a prospective client. At least Lu Guang has an excuse since he typically takes the morning shift at the studio. On the other hand, she knows for a fact that Cheng Xiaoshi is still lazing around in his bed, dead to the world. She makes a mental note to chew him out on his sleeping habits the next time she sees him. It would probably make Lu Guang laugh at the very least, and lord knows he needs some compensation for putting up with his stupid roommate all the time. Victims of Cheng Xiaoshi the both of them.

Summary
Qiao Ling’s time travel heist, one week before Cheng Xiaoshi wakes up.
Lu Guang’s memories overlap with Qiao Ling’s vision, and for a moment, Liu Xiao looks like a predator that has caught his prey. But Qiao Ling blinks again, ignoring Lu Guang’s phantom thoughts, and sees with her own eyes. She can decide for herself who Liu Xiao is.
And right now, all she sees in the man in front of her is a chance at hope.
"Deal.” Qiao Ling shakes his hand with a firm grip. “I’ll do anything to get Lu Guang back.”

Summary
it's not like she didn't know that Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu guang were going to…participate in certain activities. They're adults after all, but no older sister wants to see her brother, younger brother, like this.
"Just." Cheng Xiaoshi pants and takes a moment to breathe in. He's mumbling some things along the lines of "everything hurts" and "I didn't even know my legs could bend like that."
"Stay here for a moment while I take a break."
Qiao Ling and Cheng Xiaoshi survive the death node and Lu Guang is relived. Heavily inspired by that one greys anatomy scene of Callie running away from George while Izzie bakes muffins.

Summary
“Why don’t the two of us live together next year?”
Qiao Ling blinks. “What?”
“Seriously,” Xu Shanshan continues, gesturing vaguely. “My roommate is a total bitch, and it sounds to me like you need a break from the boys. It would be a win-win! Plus, they’ll be able to move into a better apartment too.” She considers this for a moment. “Which would actually make it a win-win-win!”
qiao ling and xu shanshan move in together before their second year of university; qiao ling pines.

Summary
“You know,” Xu Shanshan muses, “I am actually surprised everyone agreed to this. Myself included. I know we said we wanted to celebrate graduation, but we could’ve just done karaoke or something.”
Qiao Ling takes a slow sip of her slushie. Xu Shanshan makes a good point—the five of them get along pretty well, but whenever they’re in close quarters for an extended period of time, it’s a guarantee that arguments will break out. They could’ve made their celebration something simple that didn’t run the risk of ruining their friendship forever by forcing them all into one vehicle for hours on end.
But…
There’s something freeing about road trips. And when they’re about to be forced into reality full-time now that their university days have come to a close…
What better way to celebrate than an escape from the real world?
on qiao ling, road trips, friendship, and growing up

Summary
Qiao Ling scoffs, though it sounds strained even to her. She’s here for one reason only, and that is to deliver a roll of film to Cheng Xiaoshi so he can develop it for a client who is unable to leave her house. As soon as it’s dropped off, she’s going straight back home, collapsing face-first on her bed, and sleeping the rest of the afternoon away. Her homework will simply have to wait. She can’t focus on it with the incessant pounding in her skull anyway.

Summary
Xiao Li looked between the two of them. “I'll be honest,” he said, scratching the back of his head, “I had thought you were siblings for a while there.”
Qiao Ling sucked in a breath. She didn’t look at Cheng Xiaoshi.
“Oh, well, that's—”
“Her? She's more like a grumpy mother-in-law!” Cheng Xiaoshi exclaimed, grin plastered almost maniacally to his face.
“R-right.”

Summary
She was surrounded by clouds. White, puffy, soft to the touch.
Then, they ran red with blood. Just like the blood on her hands as she landed back in reality.
Before she lost it, she thought she heard Cheng Xiaoshi, her little brother for so many years, say,
“It’s going to be alright, Qiao Ling.”
