Never Felt Right

He Juan raised a brow, amused and at the same time, flattered that the doctor thought so highly of him. "Wow, I am not a self-centered bastard?"

"Fuck," Jia Molei cursed out amidst laughter. "I praised you once and here you are, getting ahead of yourself!" He let the cigarette dangle between his fingers and sighed, "On a more serious note, I can see that you're different, XIU. People like you, A-Mu and Chen Youzhi… you guys are living in this shit hole because the situation forces you to. I'm certain that if we're living in a more peaceful time, you three will definitely live an honest life."

"Ah honest life, huh…" He Juan showed a rueful smile. "What does it even mean? You do what you need in order to survive, Doctor Jia. I think that's already honest enough. More importantly, will there ever be peace for people like us?" He shook his head with a helpless look.
