Kindle Notes & Highlights
Usually, when asked to report at such a bizarre time, a normal person would assume there was a typo and would at least call ahead to confirm.
Fr tho like 2:30am???
His dear uncle truly had found him just the loveliest, most extraordinary job.
LMAOOO I love this for him 🤣🤣
To say Zhao Yunlan’s apartment was as messy as a doghouse would be a grave insult to dogs everywhere.
omg🤣
Zhao Yunlan immediately stomped on the brakes, sucking a sharp breath through his teeth. He stuck his head out the window. “This is a motor vehicle, sir, not your litter box! Could you please take it easy?” Perched on the hood was an utterly black cat.
OMG A KITTY 🫠
The smoke’s smell wasn’t pungent. It held a note of mint and a refreshing herbal scent, and combined with his subtle cologne, it had a relaxing effect. It took a special kind of talent to be so ragged and yet so provocative.
damnnnnnnnn okay 👀
Zhao Yunlan, having bolted down to the ground floor, grabbed Guo Changcheng by the collar and yanked him upright. What he really wanted was to take off his shoes and dual wield at this precious boy’s face, but with someone else present, he could only swallow his temper. He turned to the man in the glasses and extended a hand. “Hello, we’re from Public Security. The last name’s Zhao. And with whom do I have the honor of speaking?” Their gazes met, and they both froze.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHJBNSNSSJJ
Out of nowhere, Is he an instructor or the school hottie? flashed across Zhao Yunlan’s mind.
🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
Zhao Yunlan had no preference between men or women, and what’s more, he’d been single for a few months. His suspicious gaze changed as lust crept in. His heart, despite the inappropriate timing, skipped a beat.
BITCH ME TOO 😭
Zhao Yunlan froze at the sight of him shamelessly nuzzling into Shen Wei’s pant leg. Daqing even looked up, as if kissing up to Shen Wei, and stretched his laughably short front legs toward Shen Wei’s knees, begging to be held. He picked up the cat, who didn’t mind the chill of his touch. With a softer meow, the cat curled into a ball, purring and nuzzling against Shen Wei’s hands.
AWWWWWWW
There was a dark distance in that intense gaze. His expression held both a sort of restrained yearning and an affection that was almost palpable…but at the same time, there was deep, crushing pain. Out of nowhere, Guo Changcheng got the feeling that the man had been standing there for thousands and thousands of years.
WAIT WHAT👀😭
ZHAO YUNLAN HESITATED, but then, despite the fierce wind atop the tall building, he met Shen Wei’s eyes and saw himself in their depths—himself and, somehow, the night sky, impossibly intermingled. For some reason, looking up into those eyes, Zhao Yunlan instinctively let go and placed everything, including his insignificant little life, in Shen Wei’s hands.

Shen Wei’s eyelashes were very long. With his head bowed, his features appeared delicate. The shape of his eyelids was so perfectly defined that they might have been drawn on. With every blink, his lashes fluttered ever so slightly, and Zhao Yunlan’s heart fluttered along with them.
🫠
“Thank you so much. I have to go, but after I’ve closed this case, I’ll be sure to treat you to a meal, Shen-laoshi.” This time, he was in no hurry to leave. He shoved a hand in his pants pocket and swaggered off. His silhouette was casual, even careless, but the lines of his body were curved and angled in all the right places. It gave his leisurely stride an air of grace. He was like a peacock with its tail spread, seizing every opportunity to display his colorful plumage and spread his hormones around.
LMAOOO
Guo Changcheng kept sobbing. “Shen-laoshi, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?” Perhaps hoping to ease Guo Changcheng’s terror, Shen Wei gave the question careful consideration before nodding. “I do.” Through tears, Guo Changcheng choked out, “Like what?” “There is someone I met only by chance. There are no connections between us; to him, I must only be a stranger with whom he’s exchanged a few words.” Shen Wei spoke gently against the background noise of scratching nails. “But I very much want to see him one more time.”
😭😭😭😭
After a moment’s thought, he took hold of Shen-laoshi’s right hand and drew an invisible calming charm on the back of it with his forefinger. That done, he grinned smugly and planted a light kiss in the same spot. Having allowed himself this indulgence, he said gleefully, “Good night, sleeping beauty. When I’m done with the case, I’ll ask you out properly.”
OH. MY. GOD!!!!!!!!!!/&:&:’d
Shen Wei’s expression darkened. “Enough nonsense. Hurry up.” Zhao Yunlan peeled off his jacket and pants with no further hesitation, leaving him lounging casually in front of Shen Wei in pajamas that revealed most of his chest and chiseled abs. Shen Wei’s face changed color as if it had been boiled.
Oop🤭🤭
“Officer Zhao, you aren’t getting any younger. You have a successful career. Aren’t you going to consider finding someone to take care of you?” Zhao Yunlan spread his hands. “I considered you, but you declined.”
😭😭😭
Eventually his nose registered the unfamiliar scent of food. He looked up and saw Shen Wei sitting nearby on the sofa, quietly leafing through an old book of supernatural folk tales. Fully absorbed in the book, Shen Wei was lovelier than words could describe. His face was like a painting given life.
It occurred to Zhao Yunlan that he could try making another move. He reached over to gently smooth out a caught corner of Shen Wei’s collar. When his curled finger grazed the tender skin just below Shen Wei’s earlobe, it could have been unintentional. “Just fixing your collar,” he said, straightening back up and adjusting the rearview mirror. This time, Shen Wei’s blush reached his ears.
oh my god 🫠🫠🫠🫠
Shen Wei’s brow creased. Zhao Yunlan grabbed his hand and was shocked by how cold it was. That one touch gave him the feeling that Shen Wei was desperately drinking in his body heat. His heart ached faintly in response. “Don’t frown,” Zhao Yunlan said. “It’ll be okay.”
Just taking are of his baby
“Didn’t I tell you to wait in the car? Why are you out here?” Shen Wei twitched. The murderous intent in his eyes evaporated, leaving him looking a little lost. Before he could turn, something was being wrapped around him. Maybe Zhao Yunlan was truly oblivious to the cold, or maybe he was gritting his teeth and bearing it, but either way, he’d opened his own coat and drawn Shen Wei into it. The heat of his body was palpable, reaching Shen Wei through his thin knit sweater.
For some time, Shen Wei couldn’t look away. He watched Zhao Yunlan quietly for a while, expression softening. He carefully removed Zhao Yunlan’s earbuds, rolled them up, and set them aside. Then he took the coat Zhao Yunlan had thrown aside and spread it over him.
Shen Wei took a breath and lay on his side, his back turned to the group. Not long after that, his breathing slowed and steadied, as if he had fallen asleep. But where no one else could see, his eyes were still open. In the faint light, his gaze stayed fixed on Zhao Yunlan, as if he were prepared to stare at Zhao Yunlan’s sleeping countenance for the entire night.
Shen Wei had been restraining himself for too long. In the perfect silence, he couldn’t help letting go for once. Lying there with Zhao Yunlan so tantalizingly near, his thoughts spun out of control. It was overwhelming. He imagined gathering that warm body close, pressing kisses to those eyes, that hair, those lips…tasting and partaking of every part. He imagined possessing Zhao Yunlan utterly. The fantasy alone was enough to make Shen Wei’s breathing unsteady. He yearned with the desperate fervor of someone dreaming of hot soup as they froze to death.
Oh my god......
Zhu Hong managed to hold her tongue for two seconds. “Can’t you be civil? Do you normally talk like that when you’re hitting on girls?” Zhao Yunlan finally glanced her way, only to provoke her further. “Do I look like I’m trying to hit on you?” She desperately wanted to slap him, but didn’t dare. All she could do was lash out viciously. “No wonder you blow every relationship you ever have. I hope you die single!”
LMAOOOOOOOO
He had noticed earlier that something wasn’t quite right with Shen Wei, and the mood was a bit off, but Zhao Yunlan was still delighted by this development. He offered no resistance when Shen Wei yanked him close, or when Shen Wei pushed him up against the wall roughly and found his mouth, nearly tearing at his lips.
OMG WTF THEYRE KISSING
He slid it down the back of Shen Wei’s pants and started to explore underneath. But before he managed to start touching in earnest, he found himself picked up by the waist. He was totally unprepared for his feet to leave the floor entirely or to be spun around in midair…or to fall backward as Shen Wei slammed him into the bed. The bed creaked in protest at this treatment. Fortunately, the hotel’s pillows and bedding were thick enough that the impact didn’t hurt, but Zhao Yunlan yelped, half in earnest. He dabbed at the blood on his lips and gave a faint laugh. “Babe, you’re a little wild.”
OMGFDDGHJGFFGSFBKJHBGGDSVBKJB
Zhao Yunlan’s eyes darkened. He lowered his head and gave Shen Wei’s chest leisurely kisses. Voice a bit muffled, he said, “I was planning to keep my hands to myself, but then you went and threw yourself at me.”
Bitch wtf i am speechless
Lying under his weight, Zhao Yunlan felt Shen Wei’s breathing grow harsher and harsher, as if he wanted to swallow Zhao Yunlan whole.
OH SHIT i thought we were done with this scene
Something abruptly slashed across Zhao Yunlan’s shirt, which hadn’t had many buttons to begin with.
IM SCARED HELP ME
“The other day, when I acted out of sorts after drinking, I—other than my soul leaving, did…did I do anything else disgraceful?” Zhao Yunlan paused. Shen Wei stared at the table, too afraid to look at him. Smiling, Zhao Yunlan turned back. Where his smiles were so often cold or cocky, this one was unusual. It was intentionally gentle and reassuring. Pointing to himself, he said half-jokingly, “Oh, you absolutely did. You threw yourself at me very enthusiastically. It still overwhelms me just thinking about the favor my lord showed me.”
Well you see-
