Friendship Zhang Li's smile made Gu Deng feel even more awkward, and for some inexplicable reason, his heart started racing a bit. He took a deep breath, shifted his gaze, and continued, "I lost my temper a bit earlier, but I didn't mean to argue or be petty. I'm serious about discussing this with you. Really, if you're not comfortable talking about your stuff, it's fine. We can just be friends, and it won't affect our friendship." Zhang Li looked into Gu Deng's eyes and nodded, "I…-

Whale Bone Cemetery The morning after the revelry was exceptionally quiet. It wasn't too late, but the sun was already high in the sky. Gu Deng quietly tidied himself up and, as he headed out, heard a dog barking. He crouched down to give Cookie a good rub on the head. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Li walking toward him. Recalling everything that happened last night, Gu Deng felt his face inexplicably heat up and subtly put some distance between them. Zhang Li, however, looked completely at ease.…

Heartbeat Outside the door, Gu Deng lay on a rocking chair watching funny videos, petting a dog, and occasionally bursting into laughter. "Got internet?" Zhang Li asked as he walked over, towel-drying his hair. "Yeah!" Gu Deng craned his neck to look at him from the rocking chair. "Smith is here, so we can connect to Starlink Wi-Fi!" Zhang Li turned around to put on a fleece and a jacket. When he turned back, he found Gu Deng looking up at him. "Why did you give me the meat?" "What do you…

Double Luck Two days passed, and they still hadn't made any significant progress. Gu Deng couldn't sleep, so he just sat by the sea, watching the moon. Even at midnight, the sky wasn't completely dark, with a faint light still covering the earth. Suddenly, silently, an elegantly dressed old man appeared beside him— Sharman. Although Gu Deng was a materialist, facing Sharman alone left him a bit at a loss, especially at night, not knowing what the old man wanted with him. Gu Deng awkwardly…

Trying to Write a Song On the way back, no one spoke. Gu Deng walked alone at the front, feeling awkward and uneasy after some self-reflection. They continued to stay in the village. Zhang Li would occasionally fly out to film reindeer. As for Gu Deng, the novelty of being in a new place quickly wore off, and he became bored. This village was particularly small, surrounded by desolation, and to make matters worse, there was no internet. Staying for a day felt like a retreat for the soul, but staying…

Zhang Li Comes Out After the bear incident, Gu Deng gradually understood Zhang Li's indifferent attitude towards the fawn. Humans have lived in greenhouses for too long, forgetting the dangers and cruelty of the wild. Initially, Zhang Li didn't want to rescue the fawn, not because he lacked compassion, but because his indifference was a form of self-protection. It's like doctors facing life and death, needing to put away excess empathy to continue working. It's unknown how many sleepless nights…

Crying Face After sending the little deer to the rescue station, Gu Deng took a flight back to Anchorage. Smith came to pick him up and eagerly asked about his journey.

Gu Deng returned in the afternoon, intending to take a short nap, but ended up sleeping for five hours straight. After…
