" ...Wang Xi came in to take a look... only to be faced with Prince Jing in a state of undress, face flushed pink, and fish in hand. "
" 'Your Highness, you can't! The fish is so small! It won't be able to take it!' "

"Xiaoyu had nibbled him, and he wanted to nibble back."

Chu Shuzhi waggled his eyebrows at Zhao Yunlan. Shen Wei had picked up on the very first ring. That was the level of attentiveness one couldn't even get from their own father. This was what Zhao Yunlan called heartbreak?

(page 37)

Chu Shuzhi hung up and struck a salacious pose, blowing a kiss at Zhao Yunlan. "He's at your beck and call. You've got this in the bag. Don't forget my matchmaker's feast."
Zhao Yunlan jabbed a trembling finger at him. "Y-you bitch. "

(page 37)

But even if he couldn't stand up straight, Zhao Yunlan still had some fight in him. He pointed back into the office at Chu Shuzhi. "Just you wait, you little bitch. "

(page 38)

Shen Wei's eyes were still locked on him. "If you must die, it must be in my arms and by my hand. "
"Please shut up. " Zhao Yunlan applied heavy pressure to Shen Wei's wrist. "Why do you go insane at the drop of a hat?"

(page 52)

But if it was something Zhao Yunlan had made, even if it were a bowl of rat poison, Shen Wei was still willing to eat it all without the tiniest change in expression - though he made sure to choose the most normal cup noodles offered.

(page 55)

[Chu Shuzhi]had been all too happy to watch the chaos unfold and was vibrating from head to toe with uncharacteristic excitement. "Was that the Ghost Army just now? Who summoned them? Are they crazy? That was so fucking hot!"

(page 88-89)

Seeing Daqing enter [the library], Sangzen greeted him earnestly. "Henlo, cat."
"Henlo, stutterer," the cat replied. 
Sangzen stopped dead. Wang Zhen was a quiet, refined girl who would never teach him insults, so the term wasn't familiar to him. With perfect sincerity, he asked, "What i-is a slutterer?"
Daqing: "It means 'good bro'."
Sangzen nodded in understanding, then enthusiastically gave it a try. "Oh,  henlo, cat slutterer!"

(page 110-111)

By the time they left the hospital, Zhao Yunlan, like some sort of cockroach, had adjusted to his blindness. "

(page 127)

Daqing: "What's wrong with your eyes?"
Zhao Yunlan: "Oh, that features been temporarily deactivated."

(page 129)

Daqing extended his stumpy legs and gave chase, meowing in complaint. "Are you blind, you gay fool?"

(page 60)

"Fuck your mother's second uncle!" Zhao Yunlan snarled. 
After a moment of silence, Lin Jing pleaded sincerely, "Boss... my mother's second uncle has long passed, so please forsake these empty forms of wrath and lust."

(page 130)

"Even if you wanted to bomb the Pentagon, no one in the world could say you did something wrong as long as you didn't act on it. We don't have thought crimes here."

(page 162)

He was tired of people throwing themselves at him, so Shen Wei's behavior was a turn-on. The more reserved and passive the professor was, the hotter Zhao Yunlan's heart burned.

(page 186)

Zhu Hong sighed. "There he goes, off to screw around again."

(page 186)

How did you know I don't live in this direction?
After a solid half minute, Shen Wei said stiffly, "I didn't... think anyone lived in that direction."
He said this while pointing directly toward not one but three long-established residential neighborhoods. So many people lived in that direction, in fact, that it was one of the most notorious areas in Dragon City for traffic jams.

(page 206)

What kind of shoddy east-meets-west doctor prescribed western medication after just feeling his pulse?

(page 222)

Shen Wei pulled his hand free. "How will you explain to your parents one day that you're always getting tangled up with men? If your family line ends with you, when you enter the autumn of your life, who will care for you in your old age?"
Incredulous, Zhao Yunlan asked, "Explain what to whom? When I'm old I'll take my pension and live in a retirement home. It's not my job to keep the human race from going extinct, Shen-laoshi. Are you a closeted homophobe? Wake up! We're not in the Qing Dynasty anymore!"

(page 226)

"It's more than one layer deep, [Wang Zheng] said. 
Zhao Yunlan's blood went cold. "I've never seen someone add a top bunk to a huge communal bed. "
