The winter is too cold a while ago, but now, it is warm
Chapter 20
"The winter came in too early this year, I noticed. It is not the start of December, and here it is, the snow is already here." Tanashiri is walking hastily, speaking and blabbering about anything, even nonsensical things. But his wardrobe is hindering him from walking faster. He is irritated with what he is wearing, it is burdensome in weight. He is almost near to stumbling.
He is slowly becoming another.
"Master Qiu, you are becoming bizarre today. You are speaking things out of the blue. You never were like that in the past, you are always calculating and careful about what you are to say, and you do not speak when it is not necessary. You hated unnecessary noise, and now, you are saying something about the weather? Maybe the medicine you took yesterday just kicked in, or you have another serious illness right now. This must be really something." His servant noticed.

Chapter 21 "Master Qiu, where are we really going? The servants are becoming tired and out of breath. Please be considerate, Master Qiu. You are wearing thick clothes made of silk and linen, the traditional clothes, and we are wearing thin ones. Please do not make us suffer this much." Li Jhie held into a canopy outside a restaurant. He wants to fall to his knees. He is tired. "Yep, it is cold. I am so sorry for making you tremble with cold. "You are my servants, all of you. You should take care of me and keep up with me, obeying my every order. Understood?" The servants are shocked by Master Qiu's rude response. He is usually kind and considerate in the past. "Okay, I am sorry." "Little kid, you should be kind, or else, I will fully take over your body, forever. You should know how to be considerate and polite, for your life is dependent on me. In this world, You are me, I own you fully. You should not do anything I do no

Chapter 22 "We are tied by our interaction strings again. Let us communicate with each other in a calmer and more diplomatic manner, okay? From now on, we can now use this body to talk and act in what we want, take turns some time, as long as it is with the prescribed conduct. Please use your common sense. You are already a young adult and can differentiate what is right from wrong." "Well, whatever floats your boat, Master Unknown." Master Qiu smiled at Tanashiri, and Tanashiri, in return, glared at him. Then, they both felt a familiar feeling-a feeling felt by every human; a threatening storm. Tanashiri is used to feeling this when he was in his own body. He is feeling this, every time, because he is a glutton. He wants to eat, every time and anytime. He loves food and will eat and buy what he wants. Because, well, he is filthy rich. He is fond of different cuisines. But his palate loves Asian cuisine the most. He loves stir-
A Tale Between S and W: Not your usual giddy love story How will I do this?
Chapter 23 Master Qiu turned his back quickly from his servants. And like a veteran track-and-field athlete, he had gone sprinting towards the public restroom. Shutting the door closed and leaving all his servants outside, he breathe deeply, trying to calm himself to tell himself that the storm is going to end soon. He is still out of breath, with his thoughts racing, and is in a state of panic. "I should not allow myself to be discovered that I am not alone in this body. I should be careful with my own actions. Know how to be a good actor, Tanashiri." "Do not worry, Master, I am good at anything. Just tell me what should I do." "My goodness, if I would have known that I will be brought in this kind of situation, I should have studied more about Asian Studies in my college years way back in the 2000s." "I forgot to speak Mandarin because I did not speak and write it for many, many years, and also, basic e

Chapter 24 Master Qiu and his servants are sprinting towards their home in Shanghai-a bustling place filled with the usual structures a commerce center has. Schools, houses, hospitals, factories. Tanashiri is just beginning to marvel at what is around him. "I never thought that I would see Shanghai with my two eyes in the 1930s. This looks more picturesque than what I saw in school textbooks!" Master Qui's energy preserved and only allotted for use for one day is beginning to be drained. It is like, he is carrying Tanashiri's body in his back. He is filthy, and Master Qiu's beautiful and expensive changshan dress is soiled with his own dirt. The people around him stare at him like he is an exotic animal worthy of display in an animal museum. They are laughing, pointing their fingers at him, and covering their noses with their spare handkerchiefs. "Master Qiu, that traditional dress is brought from a faraway town. You really did

Chapter 25 They are staring at the array of clothes around them, from fancy suits and traditional clothes, there is so much to choose from. Tanashiri's head is spinning because the clothing is colored brightly. They are in the most expensive men's store in Shanghai, to choose what will Master Qui will wear. Each of the salesmen working in the men's store holds a Western-style designed suit in their left hands and Chinese traditional men's clothes in their right hands. They have been that like for approximately two hours. They are sweating a lot despite the bad weather. He's been treated like a Master even if he looks like a beggar. He smells bad, too. The salesmen are sweating, too, because they are fighting the urge to cover their noses. They had to endure the awful smell that is polluting the store; they cannot do that in front of Master Qui. It will make them look rude. "Master Qiu, you should choose now. We are running late with yo

Chapter 26 The venue of the meeting with the British businessmen is made in one of the most expensive places in Shanghai, at the heart of the city. It was agreed upon by locals and foreigners that the place is one of the finest views in Shanghai that is overlooking the view of the deep blue sea and busy port down the road. The restaurant is the structure that replaced the former temple where the people gather and pray during special occasions, especially birthdays and new years, and almost made up for the destruction of the charming holy place a few years before. It looked like a mix of Western-style that is sort of made for convenience and Oriental enigmatic marveled because of simplicity, oozing with enigmatic aura around the red-bricked structure. Other structures beside it look like oversized glass outhouses, not suited with the theme of the place beside it. Master Qiu braced himself as he entered the restaurant, walking through a narrow corridor

Chapter 27 This is not truly the Philippines. There is no winter in the Philippines. Philippines is a tropical country, near the equator. When I was young, I wanted to feel and experience real snow-touch it with my skin. I said to myself that I want to stay in a place with a winter season and stay there, forever. But now that I am in a place that has a snowy season, I deeply regret my childhood wish. It is really true, that the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence. I am now trembling in the cold, I am not used to it. Tanashiri fell asleep for a few minutes because of the intense feeling he had with the encounter in the restaurant. It is so stressful for him that he fainted with fatigue in Master Qiu's body. He had a nap in the cold concrete inside the body. He thought that napping for a while will bring him back to his body. Or that he is just having a weird
A Tale Between S and W: Not your usual giddy love story The Beautiful Mirror
Chapter 28 This is such a beautiful mirror, exquisitely made. "Where did this mirror come from? Master Qiu asked Li Jhie. "It came from the rural areas, made by the workers. Pretty, isn't it? Decorated with precious stones and gold, made with raw hands. What a sight to behold, a thing to cherish and take care of." Master Qiu nodded in agreement and did not utter a single word. Tanashiri felt a little bored when he realized that he did not see a work of art made like this when he was conscious. He bought different kinds of jewelry as a gift for the wives and mistresses of the stockholders, to be taken as a bribe to be at his side and make them leave his father. He hadn't done enough diplomacy and business deals like any usual businessman will do in the past, only bribery, from the start. But those tricks always worked, especially if the pieces of jewelry came from a world-renowned jeweler. The women of the stockholders can coax their hus
