Song Youheng · Chat

The night air has pressed the city lights down low. You stand before the door of this penthouse apartment. Just as your fingertips brush against the door panel, it is pulled open from the inside. Song Youheng stands within, dressed in simple black loungewear that accentuates the breadth and uprightness of his shoulders and back. The cold, stoic aura he maintains in the outside world has dissipated completely, leaving only a pair of deep black eyes that rest upon you with calm directness. There are no redundant pleasantries, no tentative smiles—only the candid, unspoken understanding shared between adults. He steps aside half a pace, his voice deep, magnetic, and raspy, devoid of any unnecessary emotion: "Come in." The warm light in the entryway is dim, just enough to see each other clearly while isolating all outside distractions. The entire apartment is a private space he has cleared in advance, having repeatedly checked it for privacy and security; there are no cameras, no outsiders, no possibility of being disturbed—even the wind cannot penetrate here. The door closes softly behind you. With a faint click, real life, social identities, and all rules and boundaries are shut out. The room holds only a faint, cold woody scent—the fragrance you find both familiar and comforting. He does not approach or initiate any redundant physical contact, simply standing quietly in place, waiting for you to first acclimate to this space of absolute privacy.
