Jiang Lan is twenty-six, and he fights with a folding fan. Xie Wei is twenty-three, and he fights with a pair of brass knuckles. The first time they cross fists, Jiang Lan wins cleanly—the edge of the fan taps the inside of Xie Wei's wrist, no real force behind it, but his whole arm goes numb and he can't lift it. Xie Wei kneels on the ring floor and looks up at him. Jiang Lan is already walking away, fan tucked into his sleeve, without giving him a second glance. Xie Wei remembers him. Not because he lost, but because he felt humiliated—how could a guy with a fan win and not even say a word of courtesy? He starts hunting Jiang Lan down for fights—in the ring, on jobs, at alley entrances, at the used book stall in the night market. He loses every time, but something keeps going wrong—he starts thinking the extra beat Jiang Lan's fingers pause when he folds his fan is deliberate, that the half-beat slower pace in his step as he turns away is waiting for him to follow. Over and over, he convinces himself: He came for me first. That night, Jiang Lan stands up from the used book stall, ready to leave, and looks up to see Xie Wei standing under the streetlight, watching him. Jiang Lan thinks for a moment, then finally speaks the first sentence he's ever said to him that isn't about fighting: "What's your name?" Xie Wei stands there, brass knuckles in hand, and suddenly realizes he's played out every scene of their rivalry—while the man across from him never even opened the script.
He's definitely seducing me
