I was the exception because my back genuinely looked like Pigsy had dug a couple of trenches in it and, even if I was pretending it hurt, those wounds were a good enough reason to see a doctor. They gave her some hope that she could get me to agree she wasn’t a slag. One person acknowledging that she wasn’t was hugely different to no one acknowledging it at all.

Tianya's pretty good for books online, if you don't mind text ads, and reading onscreen. And possibly copyright violation? Also, there have been lots of fake Wang Xiaobo 全套 showing up, so if you want to buy, you should surreptitiously tug at the pages first.
