“I will win all the upcoming matches.” Bai Jinyi swung his fist.
Su Fang laughed. “What about your pre-match prayer?”
With his back to her, Bai Jinyi raised his arm. A white ribbon from a ballet shoe was tied around his wrist.

Unrelated, but this was pretty much me throughout this chapter: 👀👀👀

“Go and dance, Jiang Shen.” Liu Xingzhi looked down at his junior. His eyes were bright, like fireworks bursting in the sky. “Dance, and show them your soul.”

I fully blame Salad Days for making me fall in love with Mongolian culture, and for adding it to my ever growing bucket list of places I hope to visit one day.

AHHH SWAN LAKE SWAN LAKE SWAN LAKE!!!

“Bai Jinyi. I love dancing, just like how I love this rich, fertile earth, the joy of harvest, the drizzle in the mountains, and my friends and family.”
“But I love you even more.” He swallowed, each word clear and direct. “My soul is forever unable to be free, because it belongs to you.”

“I think about you as well.”
Bai Jinyi asked softly, “What about me?”
He waited for a while, but did not receive an answer. Jiang Shen was already asleep.
Bai Jinyi looked down. He studied the other boy’s peaceful, sleeping face for a very long time. Closing his eyes, he pressed his lips gently against Jiang Shen’s forehead.

AHHH MY HEART 🥺🥺🥺
