#1 Jin Qing
Silver Fox and I have worked together for 158 weeks.
I don't know if we are friends.
Every time I need to find him, I come to this bar.
And every time, I order a 'Senbaiga'. I choose to sit at table number 7 in the corner.
The wall next to me is a message board, and we always pin our messages to it with brown paper.
At first, I was only responsible for telling him the time, place, commission amount, and who to kill.
As we worked together longer, we gradually became familiar with each other. Sometimes, we even left our feelings on it.
Warm, with body heat, but also incomprehensible.
April. 61998 p. m. 23:45
Today is my birthday.
I met my first love.
Recalling those candles and lunchboxes from seven years ago,
I truly feel that time flows like water and fallen petals…
It's raining now,
raindrops hitting the floor-to-ceiling windows
without a sound, yet leaving clear tracks.
25 years ago, I came into this world like a raindrop.
Vivian, remember my birthday…
[Silver Fox]
Every time, I leave him the same message. Although I've never met Silver Fox. But every time 　　I sit in the same chair,
I feel myself gradually getting used to this way, familiar with his warmth. I like him
calling me Vivian.
Vivian, what a vibrant name. And I, a woman so dark and unable to see the sunlight
…
**********
... 　　I didn't understand the lyrics, 　　but the melodies, sometimes soaring, sometimes short, struck my heart... 　　I kept listening, 　　until tears streamed down my face, and I felt a pang of fear... 　　because it was the weeping of departed souls in a dark forest. 　　I don't know why you called me Vivian. 　　But Silver Fox, I like that name. 　　Even though, in reality, I'm the kind of girl who never smiles. 　　[Vivian] 　　I don't know when it started, but we started talking to each other like this. 　　I worked with him for 158 weeks, and I don't know if we're friends. 　　#2 Silver Fox 　　I worked with her for 158 weeks. 　　I don't know if we're friends. 　　Every time I needed money, I came to this bar. 　　And every time, I ordered a 'Semper'. I chose to sit at table number 7 in the corner. 　　The wall next to me was a message board; we always pinned our messages to it with brown slips of paper. 　　At first, she just told me the time, the place, the commission, and who to kill. 　　I don't know when it started, but we left our feelings there. Kind, warm, yet 　　...incomprehensible. 　　Perhaps it was because we'd been working together for so long that feelings had developed between us. 　　Every time we sat in the same chair, drank the same cocktails, and observed the world with the same posture, 　　I 　　sometimes felt we were actually very close. Yet, I didn't know if we were friends. 　　The city is a forest. Assassins are wolves and foxes. When we get close, it's not about physical warmth. 　　In my 159th week working with her, I came here. 　　I saw her message to me. 　　May 22, 1998 p.m. 23:45 　　Last week, I moved into a studio apartment in the north corner of the city. 　　It's very quiet. I transplanted lilies on the balcony; their 　　pure white petals released an elegant fragrance at night… 　　I held them in my hands, close to my cheek. 　　At that moment, 　　I felt happy, like every girl named Vivian… 　　[Vivian] 　　That day was May 23, 1998. 　　Actually, sometimes I really hoped to meet her here. From the date on the note, I knew she 　　only appeared here every Friday. 　　But I was unpredictable. 　　Sometimes, I finally believed that we were actually not meant to be. But that's fine, it's best if partners don't 　　have any feelings for each other... 　　Later, I wanted to ask the waiter what she looked like. But suddenly I felt it was pointless. 　　I even knew the scent of her perfume. I thought that in a crowd, we could recognize each other 　　and then walk away in silence. 　　Vivian, that's what I like to call her. 　　#3 Jin Qing 　　I don't know why, maybe it's because I'm becoming more and more neurotic under his influence. I find that I'm 　　starting to become more and more like him. 　　May 27, 1998, was my 25th birthday. 　　I stayed in my room alone all night. My room was on the 7th floor, 50 meters above the ground. 　　At night, I saw the whole city from the window like blooming dark flowers. 　　The beams of searchlights were like angel wings, sweeping across the city. 　　So many cold and beautiful neon lights, so many cars flowing by. 　　I suddenly thought of Silver Fox's note, suddenly thought of my first love. 　　Later, I ordered takeout. Until dawn. 　　The girl living across the street keeps playing "Hotcalica" loudly.

The song, though I've heard it many times, still stirs my heart every time I hear it.
It's like finding a pretext for decadence, yet it's warm.
She was an elegant, quiet woman with fair skin and a beautiful face.
When she smiled, like Jin Qing, she carried a melancholic and lonely air. 　　I
thought one day we would become friends.
All night, I listened to free music and gazed at this decadent city from a high place. 　　I
thought about myself, about him. 　　I
started asking myself if the best partners 　　should have feelings.
On the first sunrise after my 25th birthday, I made a decision 　　: I dyed 　　my hair 　　silver 　　-gray. 　　********** 　　... 　　Sometimes, I start to feel the world is absurd. 　　A hitman kills someone not out of hatred, but simply for money. 　　And these things seem like gifts of fate. 　　Five days later, Hong Sheng will be importing a shipment from Thailand. 4 million. 　　I then start to feel it's unfair. Because sometimes, I have to risk 　　my life for a six-figure reward. 　　So, I made a decision. 　　I started leaving messages for Vivian. 　　May 28, 1998 p.m. 23:11 　　Vivian, sometimes I feel like a fish. 　　Swimming in the river of fate. 　　Because I can't live without water. 　　So I can't stop… 　　Because I can't live without water, I chose to become a fish. 　　Now, I'm going to swim into the ocean. Because it's so alluring. 　　Goodbye, Vivian… 　　my friend… 　　[Silver Fox] 　　As I left, I raised my glass, then put it down. Hesitantly. Like letting go of a heavy relationship. 　　Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, women walking at night resembled eerie, dark flowers, their beauty both poignant and 　　ambiguous under the neon lights. 　　Towering buildings, like giant penises piercing the sky, didn't pause for a moment before rain began to fall again. 　　I approached the bar and told the waiter, "If you see the friend at table 7 on Friday, 　　tell her her friend requested this song for her." 　　I pointed to the song request list. 　　Yes, Hotel California. 　　#5nico 　　Jin Qing woke up early today; it was only dusk. She went to water the lilies. 　　A life alone, often lonely. 　　Over the years, only Uncle Qi's care and the few words left by Silver Fox had kept her company. 　　She dyed her hair the color of Silver Fox, but she never saw him. 　　Because she knew that the best partners shouldn't have feelings. 　　Every game has a rule. 　　The air was filled with the aroma of mocha coffee. 　　It was the girl across the hall. 　　She opened her door and found it ajar. 　　Jin Qing smiled and pushed open her door. 　　The girl smiled radiantly. 　　She said, "Hello, I'm Jin Qing." 　　The girl said, "Jin Qing, you're so beautiful." She 　　smiled 　　, because she knew her beauty, though noble, was shadowy, always unable to bear the sunlight. She was 　　a 　　woman who worked from five to nine every 　　day, and even at home, she wore heavy makeup. 　　She said, "You're beautiful too, my neighbor. What should I call you?" 　　"Niko," she replied softly. "Niko, I was drawn here by the aroma of mocha 　　." "It's ready, let 　　's drink 　　together 　　. " 　　... 　　********** ... 　　She wasn't surprised at all: 'You're so beautiful, with an elegant air, and a melancholic 　　smile…' 　　'No, I just need money. This world is so unfair. Because of money, I became an extreme 　　person… Before, I was the kind of woman with a pure smile…' 　　'Life is like that, sometimes it makes you hysterical. Like Jin Qing herself, now she's living a life she 　　can't bear to see the light of day…' 　　'Women, no matter what they do, it's not easy. The world seems to have abandoned us. And yet some women want to break 　　this fate.' 　　For some reason, Jin Qing suddenly thought of Silver Fox. She liked him calling her Vivian. 　　＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊　　These past few days, they've been chatting until very late. Then Nico goes back to her room to go online. 　　She admires the lilies and looks down at the city. 　　Every now and then, when Nico turns on her computer, Hottelcalifornia's songs always play 　　. 　　Until she falls asleep. 　　#6 May. 31998 　　May 3, 1998.

Silver Fox appeared at the western suburbs beach at 11:03 PM.
Ten minutes later, he saw the black Cadillac.
For 160 weeks, he had always killed based on Vivian's messages. But this time was
an exception.
Silver Fox saw the car stop at the beach, and six people got out.
A small motorized fishing boat approached.
……………
23 minutes later, the boat slowly sailed away. Silver Fox saw the entire transaction, and saw them
open the car's trunk and put the cargo inside.
**********
The western suburbs beach to the city center requires passing through a tunnel.
Silver Fox stood in the middle of the tunnel like a ghost.
When he was less than 100 meters from the approaching car, Silver Fox fired two shots in quick succession.
The tires were punctured, the car veered to one side, and stopped.
Four men with automatic rifles jumped out of the car immediately.
Silver Fox's pistols, however, were much faster.
Silver Fox fired seven shots with two different pistols in his left and right hands.
Then he approached the car and saw Uncle Seven sitting calmly in the back seat.
This bald, overweight man in a Tang suit was the leader of the Hong Sheng Society.
When Silver Fox met his gaze, he was surprised by his calm expression.
He said, "Silver Fox. Who is the employer this time?"
Silver Fox was silent for a moment, then fired a gun in each hand.
"This time, it's myself,"
Silver Fox replied.
Silver Fox opened the trunk and took out the cargo.
The time was 11:55 PM.
For the first time in 160 weeks, Silver Fox left the note from Vivia.
He suddenly remembered the song he had requested for Maya—"
Welcome to 　　the Hotel California, such 　　a 　　lovely place,
such 　　a lovely face,
they 　　livin it up at 　　the Hotel California, 　　what a nice surprise, 　　bring your alibis." 　　#7 May. 31998 　　May 31, 1998. 　　Jin Qing appeared at Maya at 11:03 PM. 　　That day, Nico's room was dark and silent. 　　As she watered the lilies, she suddenly saw a black butterfly fluttering among the petals. 　　How did it get up from the seventh-floor apartment balcony? 　　She began to wonder if she was hallucinating. 　　In that instant, all she saw was the pitch-black night and the butterfly. 　　All she saw was white pollen and evening frost. 　　All she saw was silver hair and a man. 　　************************************** 　　Because it was Friday, she went to Maya. 　　She saw Silver Fox's message. 　　But she didn't understand. 　　Perhaps it was because they had worked together for so long that feelings had developed. For 160 weeks, every time Silver Fox 　　went to kill someone, she would drive alone on the suburban highway. 　　Every time, it was after 11 PM. Sometimes, she would speed up to over 200 miles per hour. 　　She liked that heartbeat. Because in that instant, she felt they were very close to each other. 　　Gradually, this became a lasting tacit understanding, a habit. 　　But today, she knew she wouldn't do it. 　　Because Silver Fox said he had lost his direction. 　　************ 　　Like a child suddenly deprived of support, she suddenly felt uneasy and lost. 　　Through the floor-to-ceiling glass wall, she began to watch the pedestrians walking on the street at night. 　　She felt it was like a fast-forward scene in a movie, one unfamiliar, ambiguous face after another, flowing past her like a tide 　　. And in the end, nothing remained. The chaotic city, the faded crowds, carrying the surprises of the night, 　　carrying the excuses of decadence. 　　She began to feel that everyone's hair seemed silver. 　　She lit a cigarette. Winston-Salem's menthol flavor. 　　On a dark desert highway, a cool wind blew through my hair 　　, carrying the warm scent of colitas. Rising through the air 　　, I saw a shimmering light in the distance… 　　-- DJ began the narration in a magnetic voice: 'The friend at table number 7 requested 　　this song, "Hotel California," for Vivian…' 　　My head grew heavy, and my vision dimmed. 　　I had to stop for the night… 　　California, California again… 　　Jin Qing silently took a deep drag on her cigarette, her legs trembling. The posture was sexy and alluring. 　　Then, she began to sing along with the music, 　　exhaling thick smoke rings, as if a cycle had begun… 　　California, California again… 　　She thought of a scene from "Chungking Express." 　　She glanced at the time. 11:55 PM, May 31, 1998. 　　For the first time in 160 weeks, she felt lost and uneasy. 　　Seven hours later, she learned of Uncle Qi's murder. 　　#8 Hong Sheng. 　　Hong Sheng is a triad. The 　　underworld.

Hong Sheng's boss is Uncle Seven.
Uncle Seven became Hong Sheng's boss because of Brother Nan.
Brother Nan's death brought Uncle Seven glory. So for the next five years, Uncle Seven took care of Brother Nan's daughter
.
From the day Brother Nan died, Jin Qing was sent to a prestigious school in England to study psychology.
Uncle Seven cared for Jin Qing like a biological daughter.
Although in reality, Jin Qing ultimately did not obtain a degree and instead became a partner in a professional assassin,
Uncle Seven still deposited a considerable amount of money into her account from time to time.
Until seven hours ago, Uncle Seven himself also became a dead man.
******************
Jin Qing arrived at Hong Sheng's headquarters dressed in hemp clothing.
Although at this time, the members of Hong Sheng were immersed in great grief and hatred,
her arrival still caused a stir and amazement.
Her face was so pale, and her brows held a sorrowful beauty.
She was dressed in hemp clothing, looking haggard.
Amidst wreaths and mournful music, she knelt before her seventh uncle's portrait to offer incense.
One bow.
Two bows.
She wore a black leather miniskirt, and as she bent over, a glimpse of her skin was revealed. In the 　　somber
and sorrowful atmosphere, quite a few people were tempted. 　　A man held a gun to the face of someone behind her. 　　'Beast! This is Dad's adopted daughter! You scum, get the hell out of here!' 　　The entire room paled. 　　Jin Qing imagined what had happened. 　　She silently bowed three times. Then she turned gently. Her voice was soft: 'David, I'm 　　sad too.' 　　He gently patted her thin shoulder: 'It will be alright. One shot, and Dad won't have to suffer too much when he passes away 　　…' 　　Then, he looked at Jin Qing, scrutinizing her. A complex expression appeared in his eyes. 　　'Let's talk.' ' 　　#9david 　　' Jin Qing, before I was eight, we grew up together. Back then, Dad and Uncle Nan were still alive…' 　　'In the blink of an eye, we've all grown up, and they're all gone now.' 　　'In the blink of an eye, my little sister has grown into such a beautiful woman.' 　　'david, you seem quite handsome too…' 　　'Ha, someone who has just lost their father probably doesn't have the mood to joke with you like that. I just want to ask you 　　to confirm one thing.' 　　'…………' 　　'Xiao Qing, we're like siblings, and Dad treated you like his own daughter! 　　Wouldn't it be against your conscience if you didn't want to talk about these things?' 　　****************** 　　Jin Qing suddenly felt that this world was truly absurd. 　　Like Silver Fox suddenly killing Uncle Seven. 　　Like a gangster suddenly talking to her about conscience. 　　Yet, regarding this matter, she was now in turmoil. One was an elder she regarded as a father. The other was her partner 　　of 160 weeks. 　　She began to wonder if there was any affection between them. 　　"Xiao Qing," David said sternly, "All these years, Dad might not have 　　known what you were doing. But I know everything! You, Jin Qing! You're Silver Fox's partner!" 　　"…………" 　　"Now the whole world is saying Silver Fox killed my father! Perhaps your line of work has its rules, and I believe 　　you didn't know before! Now it's simple, hand over Silver Fox, and we'll still be siblings!" 　　＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊　　David's words were like a pistol pressed against Jin Qing's forehead. 　　When she heard Silver Fox kill Uncle Seven, she knew this would happen. 　　When she heard David say "siblings," her already tangled heart trembled 　　. 　　Just for a second. 　　Jin Qing didn't explain. 　　Because she knew how weak and powerless it would be to tell him she had never even met Silver Fox. 　　She gently bit her lower lip, her posture captivating. 　　He stared at her, his aura imposing. 　　A minute later, she said, "David, thank you for your trust. 　　The one suffering the most from this is actually Vivian…" 　　"Who?" 　　"Hmm? What?" 　　"Who is Vivian? Is it Silver Fox?" 　　"No, I misspoke. I meant that I'm just as upset as you are about what happened." 　　"Vivian…" he repeated, looking at her with suspicion. 　　"David, give me a week, okay? This is my phone number… You can contact Jin Qing anytime 　　… 　　" 　　" 　　Today is Saturday, next Friday… Bring Silver Fox out. I want to use him to pay respects to my father on his seventh day after death." 　　… 　　**** ... 　　On a dark desert highway, a cool wind carried 　　the warm scent of colitas through my hair. Rising through the air 　　ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light 　　… 　　She glanced back at the mourning hall and portrait of her seventh uncle hanging high. 　　A sudden gust of wind arose. 　　Her silver hair slowly, slowly rose, carrying her sorrow and disarray. 　　She opened the car door; the sunlight was hazy. 　　＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊　　'Brother Yao, look, her sports car is silver too.' 　　'Yeah, David. I also suspect…'

#10 jul. 1 Sunday
. She woke up at dusk. Five days left. Jin Qing's phone rang.
It was Nico: "I'll drive your car, I'll be back in an hour. Shall we go to Carrefour tonight?"
"Sure." For some reason, despite her terrible mood, she didn't refuse Nico.
Or perhaps, she really had no friends to keep her company.
**********************************
She went to water the lilies again.
She watched the sun slowly sink below the horizon. The city's outline turned the color of dusk.
Her phone rang.
She thought it was Nico. But it was a man's voice.
Silver Fox?
Her heart pounded.
"Xiao Qing, it's David."
Her heart sank like the sun.
His tone was gentle, like an older brother comforting a heartbroken younger sister.
"I was too anxious yesterday, Xiao Qing, I'm sorry. Maybe suddenly losing my father really hit me hard.
So please forgive me for talking to you like that, okay?" '
…'
'Xiaoqing, why aren't you saying anything? Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing…'
'David, don't worry. I'll give you an answer within a week. I said I would.'
…
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
That evening, she and Nico went to Carrefour.
Carrefour was packed with all sorts of people on the weekend.
They held hands, like female high school students walking together.
Throughout the supermarket, they saw countless smiling girls, arm in arm with their boyfriends, laughing radiantly. Their
boyfriends pushed carts, overflowing with a dazzling array of snacks and things girls like.
They brushed past them, their faces expressionless.
They held hands, like female high school students walking together.
That day, she went empty-handed. Nico, however, bought all kinds of coffee.
When they reached the cocktail aisle, she finally stopped and picked up a bottle of 'Senbaijia'.
Nico also picked up a bottle at the same time.
They asked at the same time: 'Do you like it?' Then
, they both laughed out loud.
As
they left, they saw a couple.
He was feeding the girl H?agen-Dazs. The girl smiled, her smile like a daffodil blooming in the wind.
She was an ordinary-looking woman, but her smile was so beautiful, so full.
She watched her gently lick the ice cream with her tongue, radiating happiness.
She said, "Niko, haven't you noticed? Behind our smiles lies loneliness."
Nico paused for a second.
Then, she took her hand and they ran through the midnight streets.
Two women in high heels ran like that.
Nico took her to a 24-hour H?agen-Dazs chain store.
Then, she fed her, bit by bit, just like the man had done.
For some reason, Jin Qing suddenly started crying.
Then she stopped, and laughed happily again.
They sat on the steps of the square, laughing wildly.
Nico fed her H?agen-Dazs, then gently stroked her cheek.
Then she said, "Jin Qing, look, there's a drop of snow in my palm."
It was an ice cream that had accidentally dripped down.
She said, "Let's see how long it takes to melt."
Later, they waited a minute. It melted away, even the tiny droplet of water was gone.
Jin Qing said, "Some things only need a minute to disappear without a trace."
Nico asked her, "Jin Qing, are we friends?"
Jin Qing nodded.
She said, "Jin Qing, will you remember this minute?"
She nodded.
The time was 11:55 PM on June 1, 1998.
On this day, Jin Qing finally understood that she could be happy even without Silver Fox.
#11 The remaining days
That day, Jin Qing still went to Maya.
After Nico fell asleep, she drove to Maya alone.
She left a message for Silver Fox, saying she wanted to see him.
The next day, Nico took her to the arcade. The two girls played until 3 AM.
Jin Qing finally realized that leaving Silver Fox and the fairytale of the assassin, she could be happy like an ordinary woman
.
They played shooting games together, and she was surprised to find that Nico's marksmanship was even better than hers.
Every record on the machine was constantly being broken by Nico.
So she started cheating on Nico, suddenly covering
her eyes from behind when Nico was completely focused.
The two girls laughed unrestrainedly in the midnight arcade.
After they went home, she went out alone again.
She went to Maya hoping to see Silver Fox.
She knew that if he appeared, they would recognize each other.
Even if she didn't see him, she could still feel his presence.
But Silver Fox didn't come that day.
She began to understand the meaning of his last message.
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
On the third day, Nico and Jin Qing went to the aquarium.
They watched the dolphin show; the dolphins leaped joyfully, splashing water on their faces.
Nico said to her, "Qing, look, they're swimming and jumping together, so happy."
"But have you ever thought about
how sad and lonely it would be if they couldn't find each other, each swimming alone in the deep sea?"
"So, Jin Qing, we should keep each other company."
"…………"
"Jin Qing," Nico said, "Jin Qing, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just thinking about someone, a most familiar stranger."
"Really? Now that you mention it, I've thought of someone too."
'Niko's man?'
'No, a most familiar stranger.'
**********
That day, they were still quite happy. They went to see the sea lions and sea turtles. Finally, they went diving together.
As the two girls, in their diving suits, swam into the wide, deep blue water,
she reached out to hold Nico's hand. Suddenly, she had a feeling.
The touch was so familiar.
Wearing her diving suit, she couldn't distinguish between a man and a woman, and couldn't feel body temperature.
She hallucinated that she was her Silver Fox, and she whispered, 'Silver Fox, I am your Vivian.'
And all they heard was the sound of rippling water.
They swam side by side, swimming forward. The lonely corals were like the neon lights of the city.
Afterwards, she went to Maya alone from home.
Only two days left. Silver Fox had truly disappeared.
She thought of Uncle Seven, of David, of the funeral music from that day.
She remembered telling him she was afraid to hear the cries of departing souls.
So she began to leave him her final message.
Jul. 31998 p.m. 23:44
If we were the best partners, Vivian would want to see Silver Fox.
If we were friends who keep each other company in loneliness, Vivian would want to see Silver Fox.
In the 161st week of Vivian and Silver Fox's collaboration.
Vivian would want to see Silver Fox.
[Vivian]
#12 Wednesday
Tomorrow is Friday.
Apart from watering the lilies and watching the sunset, Jin Qing is always as lonely as ever when she is alone.
When Nico appears, she hands over a brewed mocha.
The coffee she brews is always on the bitter side.
She says: 'Nico, Jin Qing has not been doing well these days. I am grateful for your company all this time
, for your coffee, and for H?agen-Dazs.'
She says: 'Nico, let me brew you coffee today.'
Nico laughs: 'No need, Qing. Come with me for a walk.'
She says: 'Okay.' Only one day remained until the date David 　　had mentioned.
But 　　for some reason, she still chose to be with Nico. 　　They walked a long way along the railway tracks, 　　talking about their first loves and their feelings about their current situation. 　　They never discussed the future. 　　Because Jin Qing understood that for a woman like her, there was no future to speak of. 　　She didn't know what kind of person Nico was. 　　She only knew that Nico had been a girl kept by a wealthy man. 　　Indeed, she was beautiful, possessing a pure and optimistic spirit. 　　But Jin Qing truly couldn't imagine how such a woman could survive without a man. 　　She also didn't understand Nico's reasons for being happy. 　　Yet, she clearly knew that none of this mattered. 　　What mattered was this silent companionship. Nico always gave her a 　　reason to be happy, like offering her coffee. She was grateful for this. 　　Perhaps, besides Silver Fox, she was the person who gave her the most happiness. 　　It was just that their natures were different. 　　Under the moonlight, Nico looked so captivating, like an angel. 　　Nico said, "Qing, looking at you in the moonlight, you really are as enchanting as an angel." The 　　silvery 　　moonlight shone on Nico, so harmoniously. 　　Unlike her silver hair, which always felt forced, because that belonged to Silver Fox. 　　She and Silver Fox had worked together for 161 weeks. Twenty-four hours ago, she left him her last message. 　　She truly didn't know if they were friends. 　　Jin Qing's gaze towards Nico began to blur. 　　She suddenly remembered that day when they were eating H?agen-Dazs. Nico had once asked her, "Jin Qing, are we 　　friends?" 　　So she asked her, "Nico, are we friends?" 　　She replied, "Qing, we are companions." 　　Jin Qing pressed, "Are companions friends?" 　　Nico answered, "Companionship is enough. The best partners shouldn't have feelings for each other." Jin 　　Qing suddenly became hysterical, shouting, "Why can't we have feelings? Why? 　　Why can't we be friends?!" 　　Nico laughed, "Qing, after tonight, I'll move out. A month later, I'm 　　settling in New Zealand. I'm so happy since I met you. Because finally, I have someone to keep me company. You know 　　what? I used to be lonely too, and there was no friendship in my world. But I really, really 　　like being with Jin Qing." 　　She continued, "Because it feels familiar, because Jin Qing's loneliness is similar to Nico's... 　　It's just that we choose different ways to face life and find happiness. In this chaotic and absurd city, we 　　accompany each other, like two butterflies dancing in the night, like two hidden flowers, drawing closer and comforting each other." 　　... 　　********** 　　They got home very late that day. 　　Nico knocked on her door. She left a few packages at her house. 　　"My rent expires before 2 AM tonight. This contains my computer, coffee beans, and coffee-making equipment. 　　And my clothes; if you like anything, you can take them…" 　　Nico pointed to a black box and said, "Jin Qing, you'd better not touch anything in here…" 　　"Don't worry, Jin Qing isn't that bored. I won't touch any of your personal belongings." 　　"Okay. Then I'm leaving now. I'll come back in a week to collect my things." 　　"Well then, goodbye, Nico." 　　"Goodbye, Jin Qing." 　　Then Nico stepped closer, kissed her lips, and stroked her silver hair. 　　She said, "This hair doesn't suit you."

Jin Qing smiled, a hint of helplessness in her voice.
Nico said, "I'm leaving, Jin Qing."
"…………"
"……If we have a chance…we can eat together again…H?agen-Dazs, okay?"
"Mmm…"
************
Nico slammed the door shut as she left.
She was alone in the empty room.
She didn't know why, but whether it was Silver Fox or Nico, she always felt she was at a disadvantage. She
was just that kind of woman. She always longed for a relationship.
June 4th, 1998, Thursday. At 11:55 PM.
Jin Qing began to cry.
The wind was strong that day. She stood on the balcony, her silver hair blowing wildly.
She looked at the lilies, tears dripping onto the petals.
The whole city was like a deep sea.
Her tears fell into it, instantly swallowed up.
She began to sing like a lonely dolphin…
on a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair,
warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
…
She didn’t know who she was singing to.
Silver Fox left her, Uncle Seven left her, even Nico left her.
She continued to hum, to sing a cappella…
She thought of when she and Nico were swimming in deep water in their diving suits, and she reached out to hold her hand, that
familiar touch.
The wind was strong, blowing petals down. She reached out again to try 　　to hold
them. But she failed. 　　In 　　a 50-foot 　　typhoon , everything was beyond 　　her control 　　. 　　She finally began to understand. 　　********** ... 　　Remember, the best partners shouldn't have feelings for each other. 　　I 　　can 　　see 　　you 　　before midnight on Friday night 　　. 　　We 　　're 　　the 　　best 　　partners 　　, 　　my 　　Vivian 　　. 　　[ 　　Silver 　　Fox 　　] 　　********** 　　... They made love silently in the dark room. 　　When she woke up, the feeling was still so real. 　　This was her 161st week working with Silver Fox. 　　Because of a erotic dream, she missed Friday's sunset. 　　************ 　　The phone rang. 　　'Xiao Qing, it's David. Can I come up?' 　　David sat on the sofa in the living room. 　　She was combing her hair. 　　'I can see him tonight. David, give me one night, okay?' 　　'Xiao Qing, my men have been investigating Silver Fox. Ah Yao is very reliable...' 　　'David, I've worked with Silver Fox for three years. I think I should give you an explanation myself. 　　' 　　'What, have you fallen in love with him?' 　　'No. No. There's no such thing as feelings between partners.' 　　'Ah, that day, I spoke very hastily. I'm here to apologize to you.' " 　　David, Xiaoqing said I'd give you an explanation by tomorrow. You should trust Xiaoqing. 　　" 　　David laughed inexplicably. 　　His laughter was meaningful. 　　Then, as if he were in his own home, he turned on Jin Qing's speakers. 　　"I didn't expect you to like this song too." 　　"What, David, do you like it too?" 　　"No. Not at all. Legend has it that this is Silver Fox's favorite." 　　"Yes, back in Maya, he played it for me, and he's played it often ever since." 　　Jin Qing brushed it off lightly. 　　She actually felt afraid of his gaze. 　　He surveyed everything in the room with a scrutinizing look. 　　That feeling sent chills down Jin Qing's spine. 　　Then, he lit a 555 cigarette. 　　He took only one puff, then slammed it heavily onto Jin Qing's cotton sofa. 　　A pungent smell wafted out. 　　Jin 　　Qing stood there, stunned, not knowing why things had turned out this way.

"Jin Qing, you cunning fox!" he said fiercely. "Your father has treated you well! You bitch!"
Heavens? David actually mistook her for Silver Fox?
"David, you're wrong. I'm not Silver Fox... Silver Fox isn't a woman..."
"Hmph, Jin Qing, how long are you going to keep up this act?" he interrupted her domineeringly.
"Come in, all of you!" David shouted.
Then came the sound of the door being kicked open.
Three burly men and two large wolfhounds strode in.
Jin Qing knew things were beyond repair.
David said smugly, "Hmph, you fox can't escape the nose of the hounds after all!
Tell me! Where's the goods!"
Jin Qing actually laughed.
One of the burly men kicked her squarely in the stomach.
She stumbled back two steps, bumping into a cabinet.
"David, you're really wrong." "Perhaps my explanation is useless, but you can
search every corner of this place. Jin Qing really doesn't have what you're looking for... In a few hours,
I'll go see the real Silver Fox..."
"Little Qing, Little Qing, do you know? David has always trusted you. It's just... these
two excellent 'drug-sniffing dogs,' they told me that the shipment is fucking here with you!"
"You ungrateful bitch! Trying to play tricks at this point?"
"Qiang! Hui! You take this bitch away first! Dick, keep the dog on a leash! Search!"
Then, he slapped Jin Qing's beautiful face hard, hard.
"You bastard!"
In that instant, Jin Qing actually grabbed his hand.
Then, she pulled out a pistol from somewhere.
She pressed it against David's temple.
She took three steps back. Then, she spoke in a low, earnest voice.
"David, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to do this." "But you've really got it wrong. I'm not
Silver Fox, and I didn't kill Uncle Seven. And there's nothing here that you're looking for..."
Under her hostage situation, David actually smiled calmly.
He said, "Hmph, Silver Fox, you really acted this scene very well, very well..."
In this situation, Jin Qing truly felt speechless.
She began to feel that the whole world was playing a joke on her.
Just a few hours later, she was supposed to see the Silver Fox she had been longing for.
Just a few hours ago, she had dreamt of making love with this man.
And now, she was being treated as the murderer of Uncle Seven, as Silver Fox.
She began to regret dyeing her hair silver, she began to regret choosing to buy a silver sports car...
After a long while, she put down the gun.
She said, "David, I can go with you. But I'm really not Silver Fox... You can search here
. But you won't find what you're looking for..."
He took her pistol and shook it twice.
He said, "Then I hope you won't try anything funny again, Miss Silver Fox..."
"Davi!" she even started to scream hysterically, "Why don't you believe me!"
"Ha." He said coldly, "Because... I'm not my dad."
Then, the two men took Jin Qing away.
They roughly grabbed her arms and pressed her head down.
She stubbornly resisted, "I'll go by myself."
As she was leaving, she saw that Nico's door was open and the room was empty.
She thought that maybe she would be like her, never to return here again...
#14 Friday Silver Fox
That day, Silver Fox finally decided to see her.
Although Silver Fox knew that there should never be any feelings between the best partners
, Silver Fox still appeared in Maya. For Vivian.
Silver Fox arrived at 1:45.
Every Friday at this time, Vivian would always appear here on time.
This time, Silver Fox finished two bottles of 'Senbadka'.
At midnight, it suddenly started raining.
Silver Fox began to look at every note they had left before.
Judging from the dates, for 27 months, every Friday, she had left a message here.
Almost all those yellowish-brown scraps of paper were still here.
Silver Fox looked at them, gently stroking their rough surfaces.
Those were a whole period of time with Vivian.
***************
To the strains of the California Hotel's music, raindrops pattered on the huge glass walls. Under the neon lights, they flashed
strange colors.
Those were, in fact, their shared loneliness.
******************
Until twenty minutes past midnight, Silver Fox knew she wouldn't come.
With the sensitivity of an assassin, Silver Fox knew something had happened.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask the waiter what kind of girl she was.
The waiter said, 'She's beautiful, silver hair, drives a silver sports car…'
Suddenly, Silver Fox's expression froze.
As if she had suddenly sensed something incredible. 　　Silver
Fox 　　rushed 　　out 　　of 　　Maya 　　. 　　' 　　Taxi 　　!
'
********** 　　...

Jin Qing lowered her noble head, strands of her silver hair partially obscuring her face.
The world seemed to contain only these three colors.
************
Her hands were bound to a pre-prepared pillar.
She wore high heels, the toes barely touching the ground.
Her face was a hollow, pale white.
He gently pressed a sharp knife against her exposed collarbone.
Then, slowly, slowly, he lifted it, following her neck, lifting her cheek.
'Xiao Qing,' he said softly, 'I told you, you are truly beautiful.'
She avoided his gaze and his provocation.
He gently brushed aside her drooping silver hair, with a soft movement,
like gently parting petals.
He lifted her haggard face,
as if admiring a withered, dark flower.
All the thugs and gangsters present held their breath.
Don't doubt the aesthetic sense of gangsters.
Their eyes widened.
They had to admit that the body language of the dreaded was an art.
They watched silently as he used a knife to part her silver hair, brushing it past the tip of her nose.
At that moment, Jin Qing was as cold and lifeless as a dolphin swimming alone.
As David used the knife to unbutton her coat button by button, she still chose to endure it. She
lowered her head, lower and lower.
The henchmen and gangsters present finally gasped.
Her bra was black, a 36C cup.
David didn't seem in a hurry to remove it; he turned and called out a henchman's name.
The henchman handed her a hose.
Then, he stepped back two paces.
The henchmen and gangsters present erupted in another uproar.
Then Jin Qing clearly saw a stream of white water gushing from the hose, like bullets, landing on her
cheeks, body, and hair…
The intense flow of water made it difficult for her to open her eyes.
She cried out like any abused woman,
shaking her head and body.
Even in her disheveled state, she still possessed such an alluring figure and movement.
Her entire body was soaked from the water.
The men's maniacal laughter echoed in her ears.
It wasn't spirituals, nor funeral music, nor the melody of the California Hotel…
David gritted his teeth.
'Bitch!' he said.
Then, he stepped closer and inserted the hose into the middle of her bra,
following the natural curves of her body.
Cold water was sprayed onto every inch of her skin.
She struggled like a drowning butterfly.
Amid the men's laughter, she began to feel a chill.
Then, David saw Jin Qing tremble…
her hands were bound above her head, like a wingless butterfly.
And a downpour was enough to destroy her.
**************************
Just then,
someone stood in the doorway.
A low, secretive voice, as if no one in the world knew of this method of appearance.
'Let her go, I am Silver Fox.'
In less than a second, a dozen pistols were all pointed at the newcomer. '
Let her go, I said, I am Silver Fox.' '
****
...

He gently stroked Jin Qing's chest with his palm
, somewhat casually.
Silver Fox said calmly, "She's my partner, she's Vivian. I killed Uncle Seven, she didn't
know. That shipment was also stored at her house by me, she didn't know that either."
"Heh, so what?"
"It's simple, let her go."
"And then?"
"Then we'll settle things between us."
"Silver Fox, oh Silver Fox, I didn't expect you to be so adorable. Do you think that even if I let this woman go, you're
confident you can leave here? Even though I believe you're a top-tier assassin, you're still flesh
and blood."
"I'll say it again, let her go. We can settle things between us later."
"You know, if I snap my fingers, they'll all open fire at once. Someone might be riddled with bullets
. " "
I hate it when someone tries to outshoot me with their gun... I think even if I get riddled with bullets, you'll probably be
the first to become a corpse. I'm serious."
"Hahaha!" David actually laughed: "Silver Fox, most of my men are useless
, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the ability to shoot you..."
As he spoke, he reached into Jin Qing's bra and caressed her.
He said coldly: "I'm afraid this beauty might end up riddled with bullets..."
David's tone suddenly softened: "You agree, don't you, Silver Fox?"
Silver Fox stood there, stunned.
When Silver Fox looked up, he saw the huge portrait of Uncle Seven.
Dressed in a Tang suit, bulky and kind-looking. 　　Silver 　　Fox 　　suddenly felt that 　　Uncle 　　Seven 's 　　portrait was 　　smiling 　　,
speaking. 　　Silver Fox's 　　vision 　　suddenly
blurred 　　.
********** 　　... 　　David approached and, aiming a heavy kick at Silver Fox's face, delivered a resounding thud. 　　Silver Fox collapsed to the ground, and David abruptly pulled up her long hair, 　　scrutinizing her face. 　　He gritted his teeth, his expression vicious. 　　Jin Qing saw a trickle of blood seep from the corner of Silver Fox's mouth. 　　Then, David lifted Silver Fox's face and said, "Bitch! So you're a beauty after all." 　　#16 Silver Fox 　　My name is Silver Fox. 　　I am an assassin. 　　I've worked with her for 159 weeks. 　　I don't know if we're friends. 　　I always liked to call her Vivian, because that's a name only happy girls would have. 　　Every time, in the same bar, I would order the same cocktails with her, sit in the same spot, and 　　observe the world's fallacies with the same attitude. 　　May 31, 1998. 　　Five minutes before midnight, I killed Uncle Seven. 　　For a shipment of drugs worth 4 million. 　　In 159 weeks, this was the first time I made a decision for myself. 　　I don't know if it was because we'd spent so much time together that feelings had developed between us. 　　That 　　night, I felt uneasy and fearful. I had a habit: 　　after each 　　murder, I'd go to the highway in the western suburbs to get some fresh air. 　　I 　　liked watching the cars 　　rushing by 　　. 　　Because of their speed 　　, in the quiet of the night, I 　　felt a sense of 　　closeness between us. And every time, I'd see a 　　silver-gray 　　sports 　　car flash past me 　　at over 200 miles per hour. ********** ... 　　I 　　felt 　　so 　　close 　　to 　　Vivian 　　… 　　********** 　　...　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　I once held her hand and ran through the streets at midnight. 　　Then, like a lover, I fed her H?agen-Dazs. 　　We once played in the arcade until 3 a.m. 　　I loved the way she would blindfold me from behind and act spoiled. 　　At those times, I would think of Vivian. 　　That day, at the aquarium. 　　We went diving together. 　　As we entered the water, the feeling was oppressive. 　　The dark, deep blue expanse felt like a disease. 　　When she reached out to pull me, I suddenly had a strange feeling. 　　I felt she was that girl named Vivian. 　　Even though she wasn't happy. 　　But she kept me company in my loneliness. 　　Loneliness was enough. The best partners shouldn't have feelings for each other. 　　At that moment, I softly called her Vivian. 　　Yet, at that moment, all we could hear was the sound of the ocean lapping against the water. 　　Through my diving goggles, I felt myself crying. 　　But I was thankful, because that way, my tears wouldn't be swallowed by the cold seawater. 　　We swam side by side like that. Those poignant corals resembled the neon lights of a city. 　　＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊　　On the night we said goodbye, 　　she asked me if we were friends. 　　I replied that we were just companions. 　　Actually, at that moment, that was truly my thought.

Do you know, in this dazzling, materialistic, and decadent city, there's no
more pleasant scene than two women silently keeping each other company.
I remember that time, she was very sad.
But how could I tell her?
Should I tell her I'm a professional assassin? Assassins are emotionless animals.
************
Yes, assassins are emotionless animals.
Especially with their partners.
But Silver Fox couldn't do that.
When Silver Fox saw Vivian's last message, his heart pounded wildly.
Because I had worked with her for 161 weeks.
Yet, all we had between us were those messages.
************
When I suddenly understood everything, it was too late.
When I rushed to Jin Qing's room, when I opened the door to her balcony and saw those lilies…
I finally knew that this woman who kept me company in loneliness was really my Vivian…
************
Although I know that the best partners shouldn't have feelings for each other.
But I still came to rescue her.
Truly, it was for her. Not for the four million dollars of drugs I'd gained and then lost.
For Silver Fox, Vivian was my opium.
From her eyes, I guessed she finally understood everything.
************
Sometimes, God likes to play these kinds of jokes.
Two people who spend every day together wear masks and don't recognize each other.
And when we finally do recognize each other, we're like two specimens, hung up by filthy men.
They spray us with water like they're washing a car…
Amidst the splashing water, I tried to speak loudly.
I said, 'Vivian, I'm Silver Fox, Vivian, forgive me…' Just like when we were diving, I knew she wanted to reach out and pull me up. 　　But our hands were tied above our heads. I heard her shout my name at the top of
her lungs 　　: 'Niko.' 　　She said, 'Silver Fox, we've finally met.' ' 　　＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊　　I worked with her for 161 weeks. 　　On the first Saturday of June 1998, I finally learned that we were friends. 　　#17 The two women 　　David threw away the hoses in their hands. 　　Jin Qing's expression remained stubborn. 　　Silver Fox was wearing a black off-shoulder tank top. Very tight. 　　After being rinsed, her figure became exceptionally sexy and alluring. 　　Silver Fox was wearing Mizuno flat sneakers, so she had to stand on tiptoe to barely touch 　　the ground. 　　He thought that this would make it easy to lift her legs and take off her jeans. 　　But no matter how hard he tried, Silver Fox's legs did not budge. 　　Perhaps he really underestimated this famous assassin. 　　He was somewhat embarrassed and angry, and he suddenly kicked her hard in the lower abdomen. 　　The sound startled Jin Qing. 　　Silver Fox only smiled bleakly. 　　He kicked again, this time lower, kicking Silver Fox in the groin. 　　She looked up at him, her head throbbing with pain, then glanced at Jin Qing beside her. 　　Silver Fox gave a wan smile. 　　David sternly ordered his men, "Beat her hard!" 　　He pointed at Silver Fox and added, "Don't hit her face, it'll look bad, how am I supposed to play with her?" 　　Immediately, a dozen men surrounded Silver Fox. 　　They began to beat her mercilessly, groping her cheeks and breasts. 　　David walked up to Jin Qing and completely removed her bra. 　　He spoke to her in the softest voice, "Little Qing, so you really aren't Silver Fox. Sigh, you're truly 　　innocent... Well... I'll be gentle with you." 　　Jin Qing glared fiercely at the man she had grown up with. 　　He held her breast in his hand, then bent down and took her nipple into his mouth... 　　She cursed him as a beast. 　　He looked up, staring at her with a wild, predatory expression. 　　Jin Qing finally began to feel afraid... 　　One of the henchmen tried to unbutton Silver Fox's jeans. 　　David turned and delivered a flying kick to the man's groin. 　　"Fuck your mother! I'll leave you all to play with after I'm done!" 　　He glared at Silver Fox: "Let you taste the feeling of being ridden by a thousand men, crushed by ten thousand… Fuck, you killed my father! I 　　'll play with you to death first!" 　　He then continued sucking on Jin Qing's nipple. 　　He could feel her body trembling… 　　************ 　　That day, Jin Qing was wearing a white linen pencil skirt. 　　The water from earlier had already made her black lace panties transparent. 　　David lifted her legs, and she struggled. 　　Both high heels fell to the ground. 　　He rolled up her skirt, and in her struggle, he saw the exposed skin. 　　She screamed no. 　　But he still pulled off her panties completely. 　　He held them between his fingers, twirling them. 　　Jin Qing looked at him desperately, his eyes flashing with a perverted light. 　　He used his fingers to grope her vaginal opening. 　　Unable to bear it any longer, she lowered her head and bit his shoulder. 　　Through his clothes, he was bitten until he bled. 　　David cursed loudly, then shoved her panties into her mouth. 　　Her hands were tied behind her head. 　　She struggled desperately, shaking her head and body; she truly couldn't bear this humiliation. 　　As she swayed, her two shapely breasts swayed gracefully. 　　He lifted her face: "Be gentle, be gentle." 　　Then, he inserted two fingers inside her…

"Ah..."
Jin Qing's voice was dull and drawn out.
When she turned to look at Silver Fox, she saw several men striking her lower abdomen with iron bars.
Dark red blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
Her eyes met Silver Fox's.
************
Silver Fox couldn't bear to look any longer, so she closed her eyes. Then another heavy blow landed on her ribs.
She suddenly remembered the time at the arcade when someone suddenly blindfolded her from behind...
Jin Qing also remembered that day when they laughed wildly, just like these filthy men before her.
************
When the DVD was inserted into Jin Qing's vagina, she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.
Silver Fox vomited another mouthful of blood.
He lifted Jin Qing's legs and placed them at a 90-degree angle on either side of his waist.
Jin Qing's body formed an 'L' shape.
He also pinched her sensitive clitoris with his fingernails.
Despite being raped, Jin Qing's body still felt hot.
She raised her hands high, twisting her hips.
Her silver hair swirled like an eerie plant dancing in the wind.
Silver Fox closed her eyes. She was afraid to see this scene.
She knew she, not Jin Qing, was the one who killed Seventh Uncle…
She understood that the brutality she would suffer would be far more terrifying than this…
************
When Jin Qing finally began to let out a soul-stirring cry, David withdrew his penis.
At this moment, people saw that Jin Qing's body was still trembling, her waist was still twisting. And on her
face, tears were clearly streaming down.
She was humiliated.
David, however, held his head high like a victorious officer and walked to Silver Fox.
He tried to unbutton her jeans, and in one go, they were undone.
To take off the pants, he had to take off her shoes first.
He saw that she was almost exhausted, seemingly without the strength to fight back.
He lowered his head and bent down to take off her shoes.
He felt something dripping on his head. He reached out and touched her, finding blood dripping from the corner of her mouth…
He began to remove her shoes.
She was barefoot, wearing sneakers; her feet were small and delicate.
Suddenly, Silver Fox made an unbelievable move, using her two legs to strangle David
's neck…
David struggled desperately, elbowing him. Silver Fox maintained a tight grip on his neck.
His henchmen surrounded them again.
Silver Fox said in a weak but sinister tone: 'If any of you take another step forward, I will kill him. Release
Jin Qing… and I will release this man.'
**********************
Jin Qing was hanging naked to one side. She could hardly believe what she was seeing.
She couldn't believe Silver Fox would say such a thing.
In that instant, her vaginal fluids still flowed.
Yet, she felt a real warmth.
She began to recall every message they had exchanged…
Before, she had always thought Silver Fox was a thin, silent man…
But now, in this situation… She finally understood the meaning of two women keeping each other company in loneliness.
Suddenly, she boldly and confidently raised her head, facing the filthy gazes that scrutinized her beautiful body
.
She raised her head, like any elegant and capable woman.
She said, "David, you can ravage my body, you release Silver Fox, I'll stay…
I killed Seventh Uncle…"
Jin Qing spoke these words with such firmness and composure.
Silver Fox looked at her in bewilderment.
Jin Qing smiled.
She said, "Niko, thank you for the coffee and happiness you once gave me…"
Silver Fox looked at her weakly, calling her, "Vivia."
**************************
Just then, a heavy blow struck the back of Silver Fox's head.
Her expression changed.
The entire room changed color.
Silver Fox fainted, releasing her grip on David.
Yao Ge walked out from behind Silver Fox. He said to Jin Qing, "When you women are innocent, you always look
so adorable." "
Ha, what a touching scene, two women who depend on each other for survival, saving each other."
David, shaking his aching neck, picked up where Yao Ge left off.
At this moment, Jin Qing felt as if she had returned to those days when she watched the sunset every day.
Many things, just like the sun, sink completely in an instant.
Sink...
#18 Abuse
When Silver Fox woke up, she found herself stripped naked, her hands and feet bound by iron
chains.
Her lower abdomen was constantly in pain, and she wondered if her ribs were broken.
It seemed to be a basement. Because there were no windows on any of the walls.
The first thing she thought of was Jin Qing.
She called her name.
In the darkness, she heard her soft moans.
She crawled to her side.
Gently stroking her silver hair.
She said, "Vivian, don't speak, my Vivian, don't say anything,
okay?"
Jin Qing leaned against her naked, soft body.
She heard her sobbing softly.
'Vivia…' But she couldn't utter words of comfort.
**********************************
Jin Qing curled up in the corner of the room.
All night, she had been gang-raped countless times by David and Yao Ge.
She wouldn't tell Silver Fox about it.
Because Silver Fox had told her not to say anything.
Silver Fox said to her, 'Vivia, I'm sorry.'
Jin Qing was silent for a second.
In the dim light of the only ray of light in the dark room,
she saw Silver Fox's eyes.
Jin Qing said, "Niko, are we friends?"
Silver Fox nodded.
She asked her, "Niko, do you remember that minute that night?"
She nodded.
"Sometimes, a minute is the torment of hell and heaven."
In the dark room, they were naked, embracing each other.
In the only ray of light, they saw each other's eyes.
************
Xiao Cui dedicates this story to every couple who has ever been lonely together, or friends.
In the dark room, when they held each other tightly
, a minute felt like an eternity of tenderness.
************
Five minutes later, David and Yao Ge entered the room.
They whipped the two beautiful and aloof women.
Under the men's lust and conquest, they silently repeated each other's names...
************
Oral sex.
Silver Fox held David's penis in her mouth. He gripped her hair, filled with hatred and lust.
Each thrust brought him immense pleasure.
Yao Ge was an even more perverted man.
Each time, he ejaculated all his semen into Jin Qing's mouth.
When Jin Qing struggled, he beat her severely.
He said, "I'll treat you to H?agen-Dazs." Then he smeared his semen on her lips…
The two girls looked at each other in the dim light…
A week ago, they had run wildly through the streets at midnight…
She fed her H?agen-Dazs, and she smiled sweetly.
Then, she smeared the ice cream on her lips, and he kissed her, then smeared it on her face…
…
And now, as they offered oral sex to men like professional prostitutes,
Yao Ge suddenly mentioned that name…
Tears welled up like a tidal wave. 　　Happiness
really is so fleeting.
Two women who had once kept each other company in loneliness finally collapsed in the same minute…
********** ... 　　Carrying the sighs of the past, and the uncertainty of the future 　　, this story offers no glimmer of hope, 　　nor any sadistic pleasure. 　　Xiao Cui simply wanted to write about two lonely women, unable to recognize each other. 　　And when they finally do recognize each other, they are forced into this passive position… 　　And this kind of pain, in this absurd world, is repeatedly played out… 　　************ 　　When David inserted one-third of the tubing into Silver Fox's vagina, he discovered she was still a virgin. 　　But he showed no pity. 　　He said, "Silver Fox, let this tubing be your first time, okay?" 　　He tried to speak in the gentlest voice possible. 　　Then, Yao Ge turned on the tap. 　　Silver Fox's screams echoed throughout the room… 　　Meanwhile, Jin Qing was being held up on the bed by three henchmen. 　　She had a penis in her mouth, and one each in her vagina and anus. 　　She didn't even hear Silver Fox's screams. 　　Silver Fox's belly swelled from the jar, like a pregnant woman's... 　　The man then pulled the tubing out. Then he kicked her lower abdomen. 　　The fluid gushed back from her vagina. 　　He said, "Slut, look, you're so wet." 　　His tone was still so gentle and ambiguous. 　　Later, he finally had a change of heart and seemed to want to play with her properly this time. 　　He leaned down and gently parted her pink labia. 　　The movement was truly like peeling off flower petals. 　　He smiled and teased her clitoris with his tongue. 　　Her whole body trembled. 　　Then he greedily sucked on her vulva. 　　She collapsed. 　　Then he applied a strange medicine to her nipples. 　　Her whole body burned. 　　She felt a surge of desire within her. 　　Her breasts felt like they were about to burst. 　　He plucked her pubic hair one by one. 　　He said, "Is Silver Fox's pubic hair silver?" 　　Her hands were in heavy shackles, so she frantically banged them against her forehead. 　　She truly wanted to die… 　　As her face was covered in blood, she suddenly saw Vivian struggling beneath the man. 　　Summoning strength from who-knows-where, she threw off David and rushed forward. Because of her 　　shackles, she fell. Then Silver Fox stood up, just as she always had when she killed. 　　She used the handcuffs to smash them heavily on the head of the man who had raped Jin Qing. 　　The man kicked his leg and died… 　　Then Silver Fox collapsed. 　　Jin Qing cried and screamed, tightly embracing Silver Fox. 　　This was their 162nd week of cooperation. 　　She truly knew they were friends… 　　************************************** 　　David walked over and kicked the corpse aside. 　　He pulled Silver Fox from Jin Qing's embrace onto the bed. 　　He lightly touched her genitals, which were already overflowing with fluid. 　　Silver Fox had already fainted. He asked her, 'Do you want it? Baby.' 　　Silver Fox had already fainted. 　　He looked at the naked beauty on the bed, about to penetrate her, when 　　Jin Qing grabbed his legs from behind. 　　She knelt on the floor: "David, let her go, David, I beg you..." 　　He kicked her away. Then he shouted: "Brother Yao, get a new batch of Jin Qing!" 　　******************************

Silver Fox's vagina was being penetrated by a man for the first time. She
tightly embraced his penis. He thrust in with difficulty.
Although it was hot and wet inside, and although her moans were intoxicating,
he still couldn't go any deeper.
He began to rage.
He started injecting her with various aphrodisiacs.
Two nights later, he finally penetrated her.
That day, Silver Fox was surprisingly cooperative. They changed positions
and then reached orgasm one after another.
Although Silver Fox had just lost her virginity, she was truly exquisite.
Every moan and contraction of hers could make David feel like he was in a dream.
When he saw her swaying seductively on the bed, he truly felt it was worthwhile.
For five consecutive days, he wouldn't let any other man touch her.
Meanwhile, Jin Qing was gang-raped by the same men every day.
However, she was so beautiful that every day, he and Yao Ge would also personally rape her.
In the few spare moments they had, people always saw these two beautiful women embracing tightly
, without any dialogue.
[The Ending]
Three days later, in their 164th week of cooperation,
Silver Fox died.
The weather suddenly turned cold that day, and Silver Fox said she missed the California sunshine.
Jin Qing went to ask David for help, and when she helped Silver Fox out to the record player, Silver Fox
asked her in a very soft voice, "Vivia, are we friends?"
Jin Qing saw her pale face and weak breathing.
She felt afraid.
She said, "Yes."
Silver Fox smiled and said, "I once requested this song for you in Maya. Today, I want to dedicate it to
you again..."
Then, she turned her head away.
Her gaze gradually became empty,
like a withered dark flower.
[The End]
Half a year later, in their 187th week of collaboration.
In the basement, there were still those two beautiful women.
Their once flat bellies were now swollen.
They were each pressed to one end of the room, through the only sliver of light.
David saw that their fair skin was covered with men's semen.
He said to the mountain spirit, "You know, they are best friends." They were once invincible. '
He said, 'Later, they were raped together, got pregnant together, and became Hong Sheng's professional sex slaves together 　　.
'
Yao nodded with a smile.
'For the past six months, I've often had my brothers visit them.' 　　' 　　Heh
, yes, Mountain Ghost. This world is a man's world. Women, if you want to fight 　　against 　　fate 　　, this is your only destiny 　　. Mountain Ghost, you are 　　Yao's brother, 　　if we 　　Hong Sheng and your 　　Dong Ying unite…' Then, the three men burst into 　　laughter . ********** ... 　　She called her: 'Vivia.' 　　Jin Qing didn't answer. 　　She heard Jin Qing clearly singing that song a cappella... 　　Welcome to the Hotel California 　　Such a lovely place 　　Such a lovely face 　　They livin it up at the Hotel California 　　What a nice surprise, bring your alibis 　　In that instant, they seemed to return to those days spent together before. 　　Those similar loneliness. 　　*************** 　　At night, Yao Ge and Shan Gui killed David. 　　Yao Ge said to David: 'Back then, your father killed Jin Qing's father in the same way, and later, 　　he became the big brother himself.' 　　Shan Gui smiled sinisterly: 'Yao Ge will definitely raise your daughter and then send her to study in England.' 　　[Ending] 　　Seven days after Silver Fox was deflowered. 　　That night, Silver Fox was taken out of the basement by David. 　　Perhaps, she really was a beauty. He wanted to find a better place to train her. 　　********** 　　...

While submerged, they had softly called each other's names…
she sang softly.
Suddenly, she understood that no matter how her life continued,
this woman named Nico would forever remain the most beautiful hidden flower in her memory.

Eight hours later, someone pushed open the basement door.
He said, 'You can go now.'
She asked in surprise, 'Where's Silver Fox?'
The man didn't answer her.
************
She never saw Silver Fox and David again.
She didn't know what had happened between Silver Fox and David that day.
Later, she lived quietly in the city.
She sold her car.
She brought Maya around.
Every day at midnight, she would play 'Hotel California'.
She would go buy H?agen-Dazs.
Then one day, she felt she should record this story, with her sadness and questions,
with her memories and emotions for Silver Fox.
She named this story 'Hidden Flower'. To console and commemorate those
lovers and friends who silently accompanied her through her tragic end .
She gave herself a pen name: Xiao Cui.
