It is another beautiful day in Cloud Recesses. The spa resort is full of tourists, mostly Zhongguoren, that has come here to relax and retreat from their crazy lives. From couples to loners, everybody is consuming their time in a precious way. Some are trying to fix their relationship, and some are just craving to enjoy themselves.
The Cloud Recesses Spa Resort is the best suitable place for anyone who needs peace and excitement because its edges have crept nearer and nearer to the mountains like the slow seep of spilled glue to provide calm to the racing heart of people, and its front has crept nearer to the shore where the waves can produce the melodious sounds to pull the childishness in people.

The same reason indulges me to work here, along with my brother Xichen as a massage therapist for over two years now, and it's the best decision I've ever taken in my whole life. It provides me with a quiet and peaceful life, never being bothered by anyone. It feels like living the dream.
"Ready for another busy day?" I hear a voice from behind. I don't need to turn around to see who it is. I can recognize this voice anywhere, not only because we're blood-related. It's apart from that. We could read each other better than we could understand ourselves at times.
"Always ready!" I nod, smiling at him fondly.
My brother pats my shoulder before getting a seat beside me on the bench and smiling. He is always so happy and content, satisfied with his lot in life. He never once looks tired or irritated about anything. He shows me a scroll that encompasses a schedule for the day, and it's really going to be a long day. We can barely catch a break, but we love our job, so we don't mind at all.
Every morning, before work, I would sit on the same bench outside and look at the big cold spring. It's cold naturally but has healing power. As much as its nature is stable, it looks like clouds are floating on the water. The view is simply incredible, and it's very relaxing since there aren't many people at this time of day.
"Any cuties out there?" He asks with a smirk on his face.
If I'm sitting here to relax, he is here to hunt. He is actually hunting for me, even though I've never asked for anything. Well, wanting to play along for a few minutes, I laugh and look over to see if there are any cute boys around. Nothing seems to catch my heart, so I roll my eyes and twiddle with my thumbs.
"What about this one?" He asks as he subtly points to a tall guy with long, dark brown hair.
"Not bad, but he's not good enough for me!" I give him a poor look, which should make him understand. There has been no connection that I feel between myself and those people. They may be respectable, kind, and well-mannered, but I haven't found a single one of them attractive.
There has been that usual frown, the twist of disappointment, and an exasperated sigh on his face. "If you continue saying this, you will be single forever. What do you think? Someone will come for you from this sea, huh?" He asks while pointing to the sea, which is spreading serenely a little away from me.
