Hi! I hope everything is fine with you, I'm sorry that I'm always disappearing, but I promise to improve))) I'm with Hadcanon. Supernatural au, where criminals can be people, or they can be dishonesty. Supernatural crime detectives are coming from Hong Kong. They are looking for a werewolf who can transform into another person and kills his victims. Those into whom the werewolf turned were usually arrested, but after a series of such crimes it became clear that they were also victims. Jian Yuelou is not very happy that his work is being interfered with, but you will not go without an order/although we are talking about Yuelou/ The werewolf has been choosing for a long time who he will turn into and chooses Chen Yuzhi. Who would think of a nice doctor? But Yuzhi has figured out the werewolf and is trying to detain him. Jian Yuelou and Hong Kong detectives see two Chen Yuzhi. Which one of them is real? Everyone proves that he is the original. Jian Yuelou is just asking a question from their past. It could be any question: about their meeting in Hong Kong, how Yuzhi was against using Wang Meng's mother to split him. The werewolf responds as most people think and thinks he has won. But Yuelou shoots the werewolf. The detectives are shocked, to which Jian Yuelou and the police from Jingcheng only grin. After all, Chen Yuzhi behaves quite differently. I want to shock detectives when they find out the correct answer. The werewolf was arrested or killed, at your discretion.

VITA!!! I've missed you and your headcanons! I hope all is well with you! I read the prompt and I feel like it reads more like a "shapeshifter" so I hope it's okay if I go with that

It was one of the odder cases Jiang Yuelou had encountered, a criminal who could shift into another person and commit crimes using their face

It was like identity theft…but worse

He had dealt with a few cases regarding the shapeshifting identity theft that resulted in murder and at first he had no sympathy for them until he realized that after about the third case that anyone could be a victim

Of course, anytime he asked the suspects if they knew what the person looked like…they could never tell him

All they could tell him was that they heard their name being called and when they turned around or looked, all they could see was their face staring back at them and before they could even say something, their face would just…disappear into the crowd

Of course, he and his team weren’t the only ones dealing with this sort of case as when he came into work the next morning, two detectives he had never met were standing in his office beside Bai Jinbo, causing him to frown

“Commissioner?  Who’s this?”

Bai Jinbo looked at him and smiled

“Jiang Yuelou, meet Detectives Han Zhang and Wang Duo.  They’re going to be working with us on a case”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened

“We’re partnering with them?!  But why?!”

Han Zhang cleared his throat

“Commissioner Bai explained to us that you have knowledge on a…shapeshifting killer that’s been terrorizing Jing City, correct?”

Jiang Yuelou crossed his arms

“Yes, why?”

Han Zhang smiled

“Well, your killer actually is from Hong Kong…he evaded us and now has made Jing City his…stomping ground, if you will”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened

“You let the killer slip away and let him come to my city?!  How can you even call yourselves detectives if you can’t even do your job correctly?”

“What about you?!”

Jiang Yuelou looked over at Wang Duo as he took a step forward

“You haven’t caught the bastard either so don’t go talking shit about us when you couldn’t catch him either!”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened and he took a step towards him just as Bai Jinbo stepped in between them

“Alright, alright, enough”

He then looked at Jiang Yuelou

“Jiang Yuelou, they’re our guest, play nice”

Jiang Yuelou growled but took a step back as Bai Jinbo looked at Han Zhang and Wang Duo

“We’re not here to play the blame game, we’re here to catch this killer.  So let’s put aside our differences and catch him, shall we?”

Jiang Yuelou, Han Zheng, and Wang Duo all looked at him before they nodded, Bai Jinbo nodding in reply

“Good.  Now, I will leave you three to discuss the case and no fighting”

Jiang Yuelou, Han Zheng, and Wang Duo all nodded again as Bai Jinbo turned and headed out of the office, the three men watching him leave before Jiang Yuelou turned and looked at the two Hong Kong detectives

“Alright…what’ve you got?”

Over the next few hours, Jiang Yuelou, Han Zheng, and Wang Duo went over all of their cases, trying to see if there were any similarities between their victims but they were coming up with bupkis as there were no correlations between any of the victims, none of them shared the same social circle, some of them weren’t even in the same social class…the attacks were just…random

And that made everything much more difficult

Just then, Song Rong ran into the office, looking at Jiang Yuelou with wide eyes

“Boss”

Jiang Yuelou looked up at him in concern

“Song Rong?  What is it?”

“Dr. Chen’s in trouble”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened and he quickly pushed himself to his feet before he ran over to him, Han Zheng and Wang Duo looking at each other in confusion before they ran after him, all of them heading out of the police department

They then ran to Chen Yuzhi’s clinic, stepping inside to see two Chen Yuzhis, both men turning to look at Jiang Yuelou with wide eyes

“Jiang Yuelou!”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened and he quickly drew his gun, Song Rong, Han Zheng, and Wang Duo doing the same before Jiang Yuelou looked between the two Chen Yuzhis

“Alright, which one of you is the real Dr. Chen?”

Both Chen Yuzhis looked at him

“I am!”

Jiang Yuelou growled softly as one of the Chen Yuzhis shook his head

“Jiang Yuelou.  You know it’s me”

The other Chen Yuzhi shook his head.

“Jiang Yuelou, don’t listen to him, I’m the real one”

Jiang Yuelou shook his head, not sure which one was the real one, before a thought hit him and his eyes widened

“Fine…if one of you is the real Chen Yuzhi…then you’ll know the answer to this question: how did Keying die?”

Both Chen Yuzhis’ eyes widened, as did Song Rong, Han Zhong, and Wang Duo’s, before one Chen Yuzhi looked away and the other shook his head.

“What are you talking about, she’s not dead”

Jiang Yuelou hummed before he looked at the Chen Yuzhi who wasn’t looking at him

“Well?  What’s your answer?”

That Chen Yuzhi was quiet before he turned to look at him, tears in his eyes

“A car explosion”

Jiang Yuelou smiled before he turned and pointed his gun at the other Chen Yuzhi, shooting him between the eyes

As the bullet pierced his skull, the Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened before he collapsed to the ground, his body doing a final shift to a melting pool of black goo

“Jesus”

While Han Zheng and Wang Duo were examining the pool of goo, Jiang Yuelou walked over to Chen Yuzhi and wrapped him in his arms, pressing a kiss to his temple

“Sorry baby”

Chen Yuzhi sniffled and shook his head

“That was cruel”

Jiang Yuelou nodded

“I know.  I know.  But…I had to”

Chen Yuzhi let out a shuddering breath before he nodded

“I know you did.  But still…it hurt”

Jiang Yuelou smiled sadly and pressed another gentle kiss to his temple before he pulled away and looked at Han Zheng and Wang Duo

“Well, looks like we got our guy…which means you can get out of my city”

Wang Duo and Han Zheng looked at each other before they both held out their hands

“Thanks for your help”

Jiang Yuelou nodded and shook both of their hands before Han Zheng looked at Chen Yuzhi

“That question about your sister…was it true?”

Chen Yuzhi smiled weakly

“Partially”

Wang Duo and Han Zheng frowned

“We don’t…follow”

Chen Yuzhi sighed

“My sister was kidnapped a while back by some drug dealers…and when Jiang Yuelou was trying to bring her home, there was a shooting in the square that forced him to get out of the car and leave my sister behind.  Only we didn’t realize that the girl in the car wasn’t my sister but a doppelganger.  But we didn’t know that and thought that the girl was Keying…and a sniper shot the gas tank of the car and exploded it”

Wang Duo and Han Zheng looked at him in horror

“So…is your sister alive or not?”

Chen Yuzhi laughed and nodded

“My real sister is alive and well…and I actually have to go pick her up from school soon.  But your uh…whatever he was didn’t know that.  Or didn’t know the whole story”

Jiang Yuelou nodded

“Which is why I asked the question.  Because only the real Chen Yuzhi would know the whole story”

Wang Duo and Han Zheng looked at them both in shock before they huffed and cleared their throats

“Um…tell Commissioner Bai goodbye for us”

Jiang Yuelou nodded and watched as they headed out of the clinic before he looked over at Chen Yuzhi

“You okay?”

Chen Yuzhi nodded

“Yeah, yeah I’m fine”

Song Rong then shook his head as he walked over to them

“How did he even find you?”

Chen Yuzhi sighed

“I think I was being watched for a while”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened

“What?!”

He then shook his head

“Why didn’t you tell me?!”

Chen Yuzhi huffed

“Because I couldn’t see him.  I could just feel like someone was watching me…but any time I turned around, I didn’t see anyone.  Until today.  I was working at my desk, the clinic was empty, and then someone called my name.  I looked up and all I could see was my face staring back at me”

He then looked at Jiang Yuelou

“And then I remembered the cases you were working and…I knew it was the guy you were looking for”

He then sighed

“I tried to leave but I grabbed him and then we started fighting…Song Rong saw us thankfully”

Jiang Yuelou hummed and looked over at Song Rong before he clapped him on the arm

“Thanks”

Song Rong nodded

“Of course”

Jiang Yuelou then looked back at Chen Yuzhi and smiled

“You ready to go get Keying?”

Chen Yuzhi nodded

“Yeah”

They then headed over to the door, Song Rong following behind, and stepped out, Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi heading right while Song Rong headed left back towards the police station

As Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi made their way to Keying’s school, Jiang Yuelou looked over at Chen Yuzhi before he reached out and slipped an arm around his waist, pulling him close

“I’m just glad you weren’t hurt”

Chen Yuzhi hummed

“Me too”

Jiang Yuelou huffed

“Or that he didn’t try to commit any murders with that pretty face of yours”

Chen Yuzhi laughed before he looked over at him

“Does this look like the face of a killer to you?”

Jiang Yuelou looked back at him before he shook his head

“No.  Which is why I’m glad we got to him in time”

Chen Yuzhi hummed

“I am too…it was weird looking at myself and hearing my own voice”

Jiang Yuelou huffed

“Tell me about it”

He then leaned over and pressed a kiss to his temple, his lips lingering there for a moment before he pulled away and nudged Chen Yuzhi’s head with his

“I’m really glad you’re okay”

Chen Yuzhi smiled and nudged his head in return before he pulled away and looked at him

“Come on, Keying’s waiting for us”

Jiang Yuelou nodded before he and Chen Yuzhi continued towards Keying’s school, Jiang Yuelou’s arm wrapped possessively around Chen Yuzhi’s waist

A Complaint for My Lady of Gloucester and Holland

Although the “Complaint” is focused on Jacqueline and includes a potentially subversive chorus of grieving women in support of her, Eleanor makes an oblique and threatening appearance about halfway through […] This characterization of Eleanor persists for several more stanzas, referring to “fals Circes,” and “cirens,” whose “fals incantacyouns” and “fals medecynes … / þe prynces hert agaynst al lawe / Frome his promesse his hande to drawe.” Although Eleanor was only publicly accused of witchcraft in 1441, these references in a poem generally dated to 1428 suggest that her reputation preceded that. Eleanor’s position at the heart of an adulterous (and possibly bigamous) love triangle also linked her—as it linked legendary adulteresses like Guenevere and Iseult—to witchcraft, in sharp contrast to Jacqueline, the “goodely fayre pryncesse” for whom “yong and olde [cry] in oone.” A transgression in one realm, one might say, opens a door to transgressions elsewhere. Striking too is the nature of the enchantment, that of the “chaunteresse” or “Ciren.” Although the references to mermaids and “courage serpentyne” may also recall the half-snake figure of Mélusine, the fairy ancestress of the counts of Lusignan, the repetition of “songe” and constant emphasis on voice locate Eleanor’s power elsewhere, a theme to which later depictions of her will return. —Kavita Mudan Finn, “Tragedy, Transgression, and Women’s Voices: The cases of Margaret of Anjou and Eleanor Cobham,” Viator 47.2 (2016).

Looks at the world of Indian fashion, exploring the work of such designers as Fightercock, Kavita Bharthia, and Gayatri Khanna and discusses the innovative techniques being used for textiles, sculptural draping, and pattern cutting.

Indian haute couture is conquering catwalks worldwide. For many, Indian fashion conjures multi-colored saris and gold embroidery, but the designers featured in this volume are turning that cliché on its head by creating global styles without losing sight of tradition. This book documents the scene, with an in-depth look at designers as diverse as Fightercock (a collaboration between Abhishek Gupta and Nandita Basu, who claim on one of their t-shirts that "The Revolution must wear Fightercock"), AtpuG varuaG (who won Breakthrough Designer of the Year at the MTV and Zoom Style Awards in 2006) and Kavita Bharthia (who is known for both Indian and Western styles, impeccably finished on handlooms, which incorporate cottons and silks, scarves, stoles and knits). Other featured designers include Gayatri Khanna, Anamika Khanna, Small Shop, Anuj Sharma, Ashish N Soni, Ayesha Depala, CUE, Deepika Govind, Drashta Sarvaiya, Falguni & Shane Peacock, Manish Arora, Nachiket Barve, Namrata Joshipura, Nimita Rathod, Nitin Bal Chauhan, Prashant Verma, Rajesh Pratap Singh, Ranna Gill, My Village, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Savio Jon, Shantanu & Nikhil, Shantanu Goenka, Swapnil Shinde, Varun Bahl, Wendell Rodricks and Bounipun. Contemporary Indian Fashion offers a host of experimental techniques for textiles, pattern cutting and sculptural draping, as well as the mixing of natural and synthetic fibers and unlikely juxtapositions such as jersey or chiffon with leather.

[wordsandrobots]

I have just realised that 70% of my 'no you fools*, Yamagi is not sweet, he's a sarcastic little jerk who just happens to get tongue-tied around his dummy of a crush' characterisation comes from two scenes centred on Hush and I find that quite funny for some reason.

*whether I am using 'fools' in the 'gender neutral way of addressing the room ala that joke about Dr Doom' sense or with actual malice depends entirely on which bit of fan-art I've glanced at most recently.

Also, I know I haven't centred it much outside of The Ares Affair owing the the direction the plot went, I need you to know: in my head, Yamagi and Chad being friends is on the one hand rooted in a lot of shared temperament, tea-appreciation and mutual understanding of each other's coping mechanisms, and on the other involves a significant amount of Chad making this face after effortlessly no-selling Yamagi's attempts to snark his way out of admitting how he's really feeling.

Those two can see through each other's bullshit like glass and I find it deeply amusing to put them together.

Eco, meanwhile, basically just trolls Yamagi any chance she gets. Eco is a troll, full stop.

Anyway, I've just had a chance to have all three of them in the same scene and it's gone swimmingly. Oh, you know what, have a mild [subject to editing] spoiler:

“I think,” she says to Yamagi, “you can just go with whatever feels right. Don't over-think it.” “Easy for you to say,” he grumbles, which makes Chad laugh. “Oh, and like you're any better.” “Who was it stayed up to midnight making sure the decorations for Merribit and Kavita coming home from the hospital were perfect?” “You hear this? The king of over-working is lecturing me.” “Yeah, no, I'm not helping fix that glass house.” Eco raises her cup, because she long ago swore to live for those who can't and because it's nice having somebody else there to bully Yamagi for her.

Pale Lights, Book 2 chapter 19 - Scholomance Residents that doesn’t count as students

So many. This took two weeks. And I’m not even done. I also implemented “must have been in at least two chapters” for some of the categories. In case you’re wondering about the lack of cute blonde urchins.

Descriptions under cut

13th Associates:

Wen: I probably should add a hand with the food he’s eating. Maybe if I need to edit something about him at a later date.

Mandisa: We’re slowly learning a little more about her. A lot of her is still very defined by her being unreasonably pretty, though. Including her emotional reactions, it seems.

Nerei: She’s fun to draw. Honestly, though, “maroon eyes”. That’s EE sneakily introducing a character with dark red eyes in a way easily overlooked.

Osian: We know he’s Malani. Have a guess about his age. And got his height from the Pale Lights AMA. That’s it.

Morning Class Professors:

Kavita: The ever-friendly Discord help me place her most likely ethnicity within the ethnicity. Also, so much text. I need something shorter to refer to her as.

Tenoch: He looks way too cute. The oversized coat was a fun challenge. Makes you wonder if he used to be that size. Or is wearing one of Wen’s old coats. With the stubble, there might be a chance for Tenoch to have some mixed background. Rather than being all Aztlan.

Yun: How to draw a character you kinda want to punch just by looking at him.

Malba: I based her hair on the fontange hairstyles from the late 17th century. Minutes before posting her to the Discord, EE then posted a response to me commenting on hair research, with a picture of much more Renaissance appropriate Tudor hair. There will be a redesign. Once I get time. Hey, her hair is at least as period accurate as the tricornes. :P

Rhys and Nandi: So cute together. So totally ruining my layout. So I got creative fitting two more characters into one character’s space. And yeah, Nandi is more than a head taller than Rhys.

Evening Class Teachers:

Chunhua: For a normal row her scarf would be absolutely eye-burning bright in all the black. For a normal row…

Hermegildo: I ever thought I’d actually use up all the room above the characters. This guy proved me wrong. Then EE confirmed on the Patreon Discord that it is the correct feather size.

Balthasar; I’m starting to use all the Lierganen cast to have just a touch of colour other than dark brown and black for hair.

Yue: Both Yue and Hermegildo can’t be bothered to properly put on their coats, and wear them as odd cloaks. Hard to tell just from portraits, though.

Hage: Are you really smiling if you don’t do so with two sets of teeth?

Residents:

Mephistofeline: Prince of Hell, felonious claimant to the throne of Pandemonium. And naturally with a title way too long to fit into the picture.

Itzcuin: I had to rework his sketch so he didn’t end up looking like Tenoch’s twin. At which point I realized I might have a default for Aztlan characters.

Dionara: Her cloak for rose ornaments. Because I felt like drawing a pair of cute roses.

Point being, we need a movement to make real changes in the landscape, and movements mean collective action, the sum of all of our individual efforts coalescing into a single, anticolonial direction.

Hi! I'm with another headcannon. Zhan Junbai is suspected of drug trafficking and no one can get close to him. All the evidence points to him, but Junbai denies everything. Jian Yuelou finds out that Director Zhan has a beloved cousin for whom he is willing to do anything. Out of desperation, Yuelou decides to get closer to Chen Yuzhi (he is his cousin), but after meeting him and seeing that Yuzhi does not know about his brother's "second job", he decides to abandon his mission. Yuelow falls head over heels in love with the cute doctor. Zhan Junbai is initially wary of Jian Yuelou, but when he sees that he is in love with Yuzhi, he humbles himself. Only this does not suit Zhao Jingming, who has long wanted to get Yuzhi at any cost. He is infuriated that Junbai does not want to force his brother to marry Zhao and he decides to take revenge. He finds out that Jian Yuelou was supposed to be a spy and tells this to Zhan Junbai and Yuzhi. Yuzhi does not believe this, but Yuelou confirms it and tries to explain himself, but the doctor does not want to listen to him. Jian Yuelou is forced to go away, but promises Zhao Jingming that he will keep an eye on him. Junbai comforts Yuzhi, who has had his heart broken. Despite the exposure of Jian Yuelou, Junbai does not consent to the marriage of Yuzhi with Jingming, he knows that his brother hates his deputy. Zhao Jingming is furious and tries to take Yuzhi away by force. Zhan Junbai sees this and goes berserk. He throws him out and warns him that if he gets close to his brother, Jinmin will not be found. Zhao Jingming turns to Zhan Tianqing for help and he kidnaps Chen Yuzhi. Zhan Junbai is furious and goes to rescue his brother, but falls into his uncle's trap. Junbai finds out that his uncle framed him in the eyes of the police and he is the head of Jinma Hall/let Director Zhan be clean before the law in this universe/ Zhan Tianqing gives Yuzhi to Zhao Jingming and the scoundrel drags the doctor upstairs to the bedroom to get his prize. Yuzhi resists, but they give him drugs and his strength leaves him. Zhan Junbai is furious and tries to save his brother, but his they beat him and throw him at his uncle's feet. Tianqing did not forgive his nephew, who handed over all his machinations to the police and decides to teach him a lesson. However, Wang Meng saw Yuzhi's abduction and he contacted Jian Yuelou. They go with the police to rescue the brothers. Wang Meng saves Zhan Junbai, and Jian Yuelou breaks into the room where Zhao Jingming is trying to undress Yuzhi. Jingming does not survive Yuelou's rage. Zhan Junbai is happy to kill his uncle, because he dared to harm his brother. Yuelou carries the exhausted Yuzhi in her arms and they all go to the hospital together. Yuzhi comes to his senses and he reconciled with Yuelou. The policeman explained that he immediately abandoned his mission and wanted to be with Yuzhi for real. Director Zhan sees that his cousin is in safe hands and does not interfere with their relationship. I really wanted to write very briefly, but I got carried away again😁😁😁

Girl, if this is you getting carried away...then I'm about to go fucking ham (bit of a more mature headcanon, so, you have been warned)

Jiang Yuelou was suspicious of Zhan Junbai

He was very composed, upright, and what seemed to be a good man

But Jiang Yuelou knew better

You see, Jiang Yuelou had been tailing the man, for a while, because he had gotten anonymous tips that he was suspected of smuggling drugs

Hard drugs, like opium

And Jiang Yuelou did not stand for drug dealers in his city so he always had someone tailing him, just to see where he went

Problem was…none of his men could find anything on the drug smuggling accusations, which was annoying as hell because everything in the anonymous tips kept fucking pointing to him

And the other problem that Jiang Yuelou had was that…the man wouldn’t fucking talk about it

If he tried to bring it up in casual conversation, he would completely gloss over the question or change the topic completely, which was entirely frustrating and also suspicious as hell because if he didn’t have something to hide…he would just tell him

So, Jiang Yuelou needed another way to find out of Zhan Junbai really was behind the drug smuggling or not, or if he had a partner in the smuggling business

Of course, because of his extensive background research on the man (and because of all of the covert tailing he’d done), he found out that he had a cousin that he was rather close to: a Dr. Chen Yuzhi

And if anyone would be a good partner for Zhan Junbai’s smuggling business…it would be a doctor

So, he decided to go and see for himself about this young doctor and see if he knew anything about the smuggling operation…or if he had any hand in it

When he arrived at the clinic, he was about to step inside when he saw the doctor (who was quite young, in his opinion, at least a few years younger than Jiang Yuelou himself) kneeling before a young child, a bright and kind smile on his face

As he watched the doctor treat the child, Jiang Yuelou couldn’t help but think…that the doctor really seemed too kind; not the type of person that would work in a drug smuggling operation

But then again…it was always the kind, innocent ones you had to look out for

So, when the checkup was over, Jiang Yuelou waited for the child and their parent to exit the clinic before he stepped inside and walked over to the young doctor

“Dr. Chen Yuzhi?”

The doctor turned and looked at him with wide eyes

“Oh, hello!  Can I help you?”

Jiang Yuelou dipped his head

“Chief Jiang Yuelou.  I’d like to ask you a few questions, if you’re not busy”

Chen Yuzhi blinked before he shook his head

“No, no, please.  Have a seat”

He then motioned to the chairs in front of his desk but instead of sitting in one of the offered chairs, Jiang Yuelou walked over and sat down on the edge of his desk, causing him to blink in surprise before he huffed

“What exactly did you want to ask me, Chief Jiang?”

Jiang Yuelou crossed his arms

“What do you know about the drug smuggling that’s been going on in the city?”

Chen Yuzhi frowned

“Drug smuggling?  What drug smuggling?”

Jiang Yuelou frowned

“You’re telling me you don’t know?”

Chen Yuzhi shook his head

“No…I don’t”

Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow

“Really?”

Chen Yuzhi huffed

“Chief Jiang, if you’re implying what I think you’re implying, then you’re clearly mistaken”

He then looked at him before he took a shuddering breath

“I just had to treat a child who nearly died from getting a hold of opium a few days ago…do you really think I would be involved in distributing it?”

Jiang Yuelou looked at him with wide eyes before he shook his head

“No…which is why I had to come here and confirm it”

Chen Yuzhi huffed

“Couldn’t you have just said that instead?”

Jiang Yuelou smirked

“Ah, but if I said that first, you would have easily admitted it.  And everyone can just admit easily to something to get suspicion off their back”

Chen Yuzhi looked at him and frowned

“I take it you don’t trust or believe people very easily”

Jiang Yuelou shook his head

“Not in my line of work, unfortunately”

He then looked at him

“But I believe you”

Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened before he cleared his throat, a light dusting on his cheeks

“Is there anything else I can help you with?”

Jiang Yuelou hummed

“What can you tell me about your cousin?”

Chen Yuzhi frowned

“Junbai?”

Jiang Yuelou nodded

“Mm.  Does he know anything about the drug smuggling?”

Chen Yuzhi frowned again

“Why would he know anything about that?  He’s the minister of finance, he has no reason to go anywhere near that stuff”

Jiang Yuelou sighed

“I’m just covering all my bases”

He then pushed himself to his feet and looked at Chen Yuzhi

“Thank you for your time”

He then turned and headed out of the clinic, Chen Yuzhi watching him leave before he shook his head

Meanwhile, as Jiang Yuelou walked away, he placed his hands in his pockets and hummed; Chen Yuzhi definitely wasn’t lying

You see, Jiang Yuelou had been studying the doctor’s eyes and body language the entire time and he could tell when someone was lying…and the doctor definitely wasn’t

Not if his big, doe eyes had anything to say

People’s eyes were always telling…and Jiang Yuelou couldn’t find a hint of a lie anywhere in them

He then sighed heavily; he would have to go back and apologize for being rude

The next day, as Chen Yuzhi was sitting at his desk, working, a paper bag appeared before him, making him look up to see Jiang Yuelou standing before him

“Chief Jiang!”

Jiang Yuelou smiled slightly

“Dr. Chen”

Chen Yuzhi then shook his head

“What can I do for you?”

Jiang Yuelou motioned to the paper bag

“Brought you baozi, as an apology.  And because it’s lunchtime and I haven’t seen you move from this seat all day”

Chen Yuzhi blinked before his eyes widened

“Have you been watching me?!”

Jiang Yuelou chuckled

“Maybe”

Chen Yuzhi frowned

“Should I be concerned that you were watching me?”

Jiang Yuelou laughed and shook his head

“No; I actually just got here.  The baozi really are an apology though.  For yesterday.  I was rude”

Chen Yuzhi blinked before he waved his hand

“I didn’t think you were being rude; you were just doing your job”

Jiang Yuelou shook his head

“No, I was being rude.  And I’m sorry”

Chen Yuzhi blinked again before he huffed

“Well…”

He then reached out and opened the bag, pulling out a baozi before he held it up

“I will take this then.  As an acceptance of your apology”

Jiang Yuelou smirked

“Thank you”

Chen Yuzhi hummed before he took a bite of the baozi and let out a soft hum

“Thank you, for these by the way.  I really haven’t eaten yet, so you saved me”

Jiang Yuelou huffed

“A doctor should know better than to not eat”

Chen Yuzhi blushed

“I know, I know, but I’ve been busy, so it just slipped my mind”

Jiang Yuelou hummed, just as Zhan Junbai stepped into the clinic, making Chen Yuzhi look up

“Oh, Junbai!”

Jiang Yuelou looked over and when he saw Zhan Junbai, he dipped his head

“Executive Zhan”

Zhan Junbai smiled and walked over to them

“Chief Jiang.  What are you doing here?”

Jiang Yuelou motioned to Chen Yuzhi

“Just came by to give Dr. Chen some lunch”

Zhan Junbai raised an eyebrow in surprise before he smiled

“Well, that was nice of you”

Jiang Yuelou nodded before he cleared his throat

“Well, I’ll be off”

He then turned and headed out of the clinic, Zhan Junbai and Chen Yuzhi watching him leave before Zhan Junbai looked back at Chen Yuzhi

“What do you think of him?”

Chen Yuzhi frowned

“What do you mean?”

Zhan Junbai huffed

“I meant what I said.  What do you think of him?”

Chen Yuzhi hummed

“He seems…nice”

Zhan Junbai barked out a laugh

“Nice is not exactly the word most people use to describe him”

Chen Yuzhi frowned

“What do you mean?”

Zhan Junbai hummed

“Well, most people call him aggressive, rude…an attack dog.  Sometimes, they even call him cruel”

Chen Yuzhi shook his head

“He didn’t seem that way to me”

Zhan Junbai hummed

“Well…just be careful around him”

Chen Yuzhi frowned but nodded anyways as he looked at the bag of baozi before him; Jiang Yuelou really didn’t seem cruel to him

He just seemed…distrustful

Later that evening, as Chen Yuzhi was heading home, he was surprised to see Jiang Yuelou sitting at one of the tables at the wonton stand before his house

He stared at the police chief for a moment before he walked over to him and smiled slightly

“Chief Jiang?”

Jiang Yuelou looked up in surprise before he smiled slightly

“Dr. Chen!  What a surprise!”

Chen Yuzhi chuckled as he sat down before him

“I could say the same”

Jiang Yuelou then tilted his head

“Do you live around here?”

Chen Yuzhi smiled and motioned to the house across the street from where they were sitting

“I live right over there”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened before he laughed

“What a coincidence!  I live right over there!”

He then motioned to the house parallel to Chen Yuzhi’s, causing Chen Yuzhi’s eyes to widen

“I had no idea we were neighbors”

Jiang Yuelou laughed

“I didn’t either”

He then tilted his head

“Have you eaten yet?”

Chen Yuzhi blinked before he shook his head

“Oh, no not yet”

Jiang Yuelou huffed softly and shook his head before he turned towards the wonton stall owner

“Ma’am!  One bowl of wontons, please”

“Okay!”

Jiang Yuelou then looked back at Chen Yuzhi smirked

“Looks like I’m going to have to be checking up on you more so that I make sure you eat”

Chen Yuzhi blushed slightly before he shook his head

“You really don’t have to do that…”

Jiang Yuelou hummed

“But what if I want to?  Will you let me?”

Chen Yuzhi looked at him with wide eyes before he smiled slightly

“If you insist”

Jiang Yuelou smiled, just as the stall owner brought over the bowl of wontons and placed it before Chen Yuzhi, smiling

“Nice to see you again, Dr. Chen”

Chen Yuzhi dipped his head to her

“Nice to see you too”

She then headed back to her stall as Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow

“I take it you come here a lot?”

Chen Yuzhi shrugged

“I come here enough”

Jiang Yuelou chuckled before he motioned to the bowl

“Go on, eat”

Chen Yuzhi smiled and dipped his head, beginning to eat as Jiang Yuelou watched with a small smile before he went back to eating as well

After they had both finished eating, Jiang Yuelou tilted his head

“Do you want to come by for some tea?  Or some other time?”

Chen Yuzhi blinked before he shook his head

“I have time; tea would be lovely”

Jiang Yuelou smiled and motioned for Chen Yuzhi to follow him as they headed over to his house, both men stepping through the door just as a grey and white ragdoll padded over to them, meowing happily in greeting

“Xiao Bai”

Jiang Yuelou then reached down and scooped up the cat, giving it an affectionate nuzzle as Chen Yuzhi looked at him and the cat in surprise

“You have a cat?”

Jiang Yuelou smiled and nodded

“Mmhm.  His name’s Xiao Bai”

Chen Yuzhi smiled slightly before he reached out his hand, allowing Xiao Bai to sniff him before he pet him gently, Xiao Bai letting out an affectionate purr

“What a good kitty”

Jiang Yuelou smiled

“He likes you”

Chen Yuzhi chuckled

“He’s cute”

Jiang Yuelou then tilted his head

“Can you hold him while I go make the tea?”

Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened before he nodded and reached out, taking Xiao Bai out of his arms as Jiang Yuelou smiled

“Make yourself at home, I won’t be too long”

Chen Yuzhi nodded and walked over to the couch as Jiang Yuelou headed into the kitchen to make the tea

While he was preparing the tea, Chen Yuzhi sat on the couch and smiled as he gently pet Xiao Bai’s head

“What a good kitty you are”

Xiao Bai meowed and nudged against his hand, causing him to laugh softly

“Oh, you’re adorable”

“He’s quite cute, isn’t he?”

Chen Yuzhi looked up to see Jiang Yuelou standing before him, a cup of tea in each hand

“Yes, he’s very cute”

He then reached out and took one of the mugs as Jiang Yuelou walked over and sat beside him, both men sipping their tea in silence before Jiang Yuelou looked over at Chen Yuzhi and smiled slightly

“Would you like to do this again, maybe?”

Chen Yuzhi looked at him in surprise before he smiled and nodded

“Sure”

Over the next couple of weeks, Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi began seeing each other

It first started off as simple things, like Jiang Yuelou popping by to bring Chen Yuzhi lunch or sometimes coffee, and then it started to escalate to them meeting up after work to have dinner and tea at each other’s house and then it escalated to them being seen together almost all the time (whenever they had a free moment of course)

Of course, when Zhan Junbai found out that Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi were seeing each other, he was a little…how do you say, nervous (just because of the rumors he heard about Jiang Yuelou) but when he saw how brightly Chen Yuzhi smiled and how loudly he laughed because of Jiang Yuelou…he found he had nothing to worry about

And the way Jiang Yuelou looked at his cousin, like he hung the moon and stars…yeah he had nothing to worry about

But while Zhan Junbai was happy for Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi…there was someone who was not and that was Zhao Jingming, Minister of Trade

You see, he had been eyeing Chen Yuzhi for a while and had asked Zhan Junbai many times to introduce his cousin to him or vice versa, but Zhan Junbai wouldn’t do so

And the fact that Jiang Yuelou was able to get so close to Chen Yuzhi and make him happy and smile the way that he did pissed him off even more

So, he decided to go talk to Zhan Junbai and demand to know why Jiang Yue-fucking-lou was able to date and be close to Chen Yuzhi but he wasn’t

“Because Chief Zhao…you are not a good fit for my cousin.  And I know him better than anyone.  And I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a hundred times, no is no.  Now please, kindly get out of my office”

Zhao Jingming growled

“But—”

“Chief Zhao”

Zhao Jingming froze as Zhan Junbai slowly stood to his feet and looked him in the eyes

“Kindly get out of my office before I throw you out”

 Zhao Jingming blinked before he dipped his head and quickly left, Zhan Junbai narrowing his eyes after him before he sat back down in his chair and pinched the bridge of his nose

How irritating

Meanwhile, as Zhao Jingming stormed out of finance building, he growled

He would have Chen Yuzhi for himself…but how would he get Zhan Junbai to give him to him?

He then stopped and smiled; he would just have to get rid of Jiang Yuelou

And he knew exactly how to do that

A little while later, Zhao Jingming headed to Chen Yuzhi’s clinic and was delighted to find Jiang Yuelou there, which just made everything easier

He then stepped into the clinic and smiled

“Hello Dr. Chen”

Both Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi looked up before Chen Yuzhi frowned

“Chief Zhao…what are you doing here?”

Zhao Jingming chuckled

“I was just in the neighborhood…but I’m glad I caught you two while I was here”

Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi frowned as Zhao Jingming smiled

“Dr. Chen, do you know why Chief Jiang approached you?”

Chen Yuzhi frowned

“Approached me?”

Meanwhile, the hair on the back of Jiang Yuelou’s neck began to stand up…he knew damn well where Zhao Jingming was going with this

“Zhao Jingming—”

Zhao Jingming looked over at him and smirked

“What?  Are you going to tell him…or do I have to?”

Jiang Yuelou snarled

“Don’t you fucking say anything”

Chen Yuzhi frowned and looked between the two men

“What are you talking about?  Tell me what?”

Zhao Jingming smiled

“That Chief Jiang approached you to get close to Zhan Junbai”

Chen Yuzhi frowned and looked over at Jiang Yuelou

“What is he talking about?”

Jiang Yuelou shook his head

“Don’t listen to him—”

Zhao Jingming huffed

“The only reason he’s dating you is because he believes that your cousin is a drug trafficker and if he can get close to you, he can get close to Zhan Junbai and catch him in the act”

Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened and he looked at Jiang Yuelou with hurt in his eyes

“Is that true?”

Jiang Yuelou shook his head

“No—”

“No?  Then why did you have Zhan Junbai tailed for months on end?  And only now you’re dating his cousin?”

Zhao Jingming then looked over at Chen Yuzhi and tilted his head

“Don’t you think this is all a little bit too convenient?”

Jiang Yuelou growled

“Zhao Jingming, SHUT UP!”

He then turned back to Chen Yuzhi

“Yuzhi, don’t listen to him”

Chen Yuzhi was quiet before he looked at Jiang Yuelou

“Is that why you came to me, that day?  Asking about the drugs and Zhan Junbai?”

Jiang Yuelou faltered before he nodded

“I mean, yes, but—”

“And was everything else afterwards…the apology baozi, the dinner, the tea…everything…was that just to get close to me to get to Junbai?”

Jiang Yuelou shook his head

“No, no, Yuzhi, it’s not—”

Chen Yuzhi shot to his feet

“Do you really even love me or do you still see me as a means to get to Zhan Junbai?!”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened

“Yuzhi—”

Chen Yuzhi shook his head

“Get out”

Jiang Yuelou frowned

“Yuzhi—”

“GET OUT!!”

Jiang Yuelou flinched at Chen Yuzhi’s scream before he sighed and nodded, slipping off his doctor’s desk before he made his way towards the door

However, before he left, he reached out and grabbed Zhao Jingming by the front of his shit, dragging him out of the clinic to give Chen Yuzhi some space

Once they were out of the clinic, Jiang Yuelou glared at Zhao Jingming

“You will regret that.  And if you do anything to him, I swear to god, God himself will not be able to save you from my wrath”

He then released the front of his shirt and walked away, Zhao Jingming staring after him before he smirked and looked towards the clinic

Now, he could finally be alone with Chen Yuzhi

However, before he could step inside, Zhan Junbai appeared and raised an eyebrow at him

“Zhao Jingming?  What are you doing here?  Didn’t I tell you to stay away from Chen Yuzhi?”

Zhao Jingming blinked before he cleared his throat

“I was just passing by, Zhan-xiong.  Nothing more”

Zhan Junbai narrowed his eyes

“Then keep passing”

Zhao Jingming’s eyes widened and he nodded, quickly walking away as Zhan Junbai turned and stepped into Chen Yuzhi’s clinic, only to stop and stare at his cousin in surprise

“Yuzhi?  What happened?”

Chen Yuzhi looked at him before he shook his head, letting out a sob

At his sob, Zhan Junbai’s eyes widened and he quickly rushed over to him, pulling him in for a hug

“What happened?  Yuzhi, what happened?”

Chen Yuzhi, however, didn’t answer and just let out another sob before he buried his face in Zhan Junbai’s chest, Zhan Junbai hugging him tightly

“Did Jiang Yuelou do something?  Did he make you cry?”

At the mention of Jiang Yuelou, Chen Yuzhi just sobbed harder, causing Zhan Junbai to growl before he gently pet Chen Yuzhi’s hair

“This is why I told you to be careful of him…he’s a cruel man”

Chen Yuzhi whimpered and nodded as he continued to bury his face in Zhan Junbai’s chest, Zhan Junbai’s arms tight around him

When he finally calmed down, Chen Yuzhi pulled away and sniffled

“Jiang Yuelou…Jiang Yuelou didn’t really love me”

Zhan Junbai frowned

“What are you talking about?”

From what he could see whenever he saw the two of them together…Jiang Yuelou was very much so in love with Chen Yuzhi…so what did he mean that Jiang Yuelou wasn’t in love with him?

Chen Yuzhi sniffled and nodded

“He…he only got close to me so that he could get close to you.  To see if you were being the drug smuggling.  He didn’t…he didn’t really love me”

Zhan Junbai’s eyes widened before he growled softly; Jiang Yuelou would really stoop so low and play with his cousin’s heart…all for some case? 

Oh, he really had some nerve

He then looked at Chen Yuzhi and reached out, gently wiping away the tears

“Well, it’s alright now…you never have to see him again.  So, don’t think about him, okay?”

Chen Yuzhi looked him before he nodded but Zhan Junbai could tell that his cousin was heartbroken

And he didn’t blame him…he knew that Chen Yuzhi really loved Jiang Yuelou

At the thought of Jiang Yuelou, Zhan Junbai clenched his fist; if he ever saw the police chief again…he was going to throttle him

After Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi’s “break up”, Chen Yuzhi was once again single, much to Zhao Jingming’s delight

And because he was single, he decided to see the doctor almost every day and try and flirt with him, just like Jiang Yuelou had

The only thing was…Zhao Jingming was not Jiang Yuelou.  And he never would be

And Chen Yuzhi wanted nothing to do with him

Like, there were days Chen Yuzhi thought about calling the police station and asking for Jiang Yuelou to just come and take Zhao Jingming away but then by doing that he would have to face the police chief again and he wasn’t sure if he was ready for that yet, so he just decided to suffer in silence

(Baby, just call Jiang Yuelou, you know he’d drop anything and everything for you in a heartbeat)

But after a while, Chen Yuzhi just couldn’t take it anymore and decided to go to Zhan Junbai and ask him to do something about it because this was getting ridiculous

Of course, Zhao Jingming had to follow him, like some pitiful lost puppy and when they arrived at the mansion, Chen Yuzhi burst into the mansion and stormed over to Zhan Junbai, pointing at Zhao Jingming

“Do something about this”

Zhan Junbai frowned

“What’s going on?”

Chen Yuzhi huffed

“Tell him to leave me alone!  I won’t marry him, but he keeps asking me and I can’t take it anymore!”

Zhan Junbai’s eyes widened, and he looked at Zhao Jingming for a moment before he slowly stood to his feet and walked over to him, stopping before him, a good few inches taller than him

“Chief Zhao…I thought I specifically told you to leave my cousin alone…do I need to call the police and report harassment?”

Zhao Jingming scoffed

“You wouldn’t do that…because you know who would show up?  Jiang Yuelou.  And your precious cousin can’t bear to look him in the eyes right now—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhan Junbai slapped him, the slap echoing throughout the mansion

“Get out”

Zhao Jingming looked at him with wide eyes, as did Chen Yuzhi, as he pointed to the door of the mansion

“Get.  Out.  And if I find out you come anywhere near Chen Yuzhi again…no one will find your body”

Zhao Jingming blinked and opened his mouth to say something when Zhan Junbai snarled

“OUT!”

Zhao Jingming nodded and quickly rushed out of the mansion, Chen Yuzhi and Zhan Junbai staring after him before Chen Yuzhi let out a heavy sigh as Zhan Junbai looked over at him

“Why didn’t you call the police?”

Chen Yuzhi shook his head

“Because he’s right…Jiang Yuelou would come.  And I can’t…I can’t look at him right now”

Zhan Junbai nodded slowly; he supposed he understood…but this was Chen Yuzhi’s safety they were talking about

If he knew anything about Jiang Yuelou, and he was pretty sure he did, he would put professionalism above personal feelings and take care of this mess

But if Chen Yuzhi didn’t want him to get involved…then Zhan Junbai would respect that

Meanwhile, Zhao Jingming was fucking livid

How dare Zhan Junbai 1) not give Chen Yuzhi to him and 2) how dare he slap him

He then let out a growl; he would get revenge on the cousins…but how?

He then paused before he smiled darkly

Oh…he knew exactly who to go to

A little while later, Zhao Jingming stood before Zhan Tianqing, the man raising an eyebrow boredly at him

“So…what is it that you want?”

Zhao Jingming smiled

“Dr. Chen Yuzhi”

Zhan Tianqing huffed

“So just take him”

Zhao Jingming shook his head

“I can’t.  Zhan Junbai won’t let me have him.  Which is why I’m here asking you to take him”

Zhan Tianqing hummed

“Well…you know I don’t just do things for free…”

Zhao Jingming nodded

“Oh, I’m well aware.  Which is why I’d like to offer you a little trade”

Zhan Tianqing raised an eyebrow

“Oh?”

Zhao Jingming nodded

“I know you’re the real mastermind behind the opium smuggling in Jing City…and I’d like to offer you a scapegoat”

Zhan Tianqing frowned

“Scapegoat?  Who?”

Zhao Jingming smiled

“Your own nephew”

Zhan Tianqing narrowed his eyes

“Do you really think that by giving me my own nephew will get you your doctor?”

Zhao Jingming nodded

“I do.  Zhan Junbai is already under the police’s scrutiny…it would be like giving them his head on a silver platter.  What do you say?”

Zhan Tianqing looked at him before he smiled darkly

“You’ve got yourself a deal”

Zhao Jingming grinned

“Excellent”

Later that evening, as Chen Yuzhi was heading home to have dinner with Zhan Junbai (as he no longer had dinner with Jiang Yuelou), a few of Zhan Tianqing’s men appeared out of the shadows and grabbed him, dragging him away, much to his protest

Thankfully, one of Zhan Junbai’s men, Wang Meng, saw what was happening and quickly ran to Zhan Junbai’s mansion, bursting inside before running over to him

“Executive”

Zhan Junbai looked up at him and frowned

“Wang Meng?  What is it?”

“It’s Chen Yuzhi.  Your uncle’s men grabbed him”

Zhan Junbai’s eyes widened

“They what?!”

Wang Meng nodded, causing Zhan Junbai to growl and shoot to his feet, rushing towards the door

“What the fuck is my uncle up to?”

He then rushed out of the mansion, Wang Meng on his heels

Meanwhile, at Zhan Tianqing’s mansion, Chen Yuzhi, who was still being held by Zhan Tianqing’s men, glared at Zhan Tianqing and Zhao Jingming, who were standing before him

“What the hell?!  What is this?!  Why did you take me?!”

Zhan Tianqing then looked over at Zhao Jingming and motioned to Chen Yuzhi

“Here.  I got him for you.  Now where’s what you promised me?”

Zhao Jingming smiled

“Oh, don’t worry.  He’s coming”

Just then, Zhan Junbai burst into the mansion, fire in his eyes as he stormed over to Zhan Tianqing and Zhao Jingming

“Zhao Jingming!  Uncle!  What’s going on here?!  How dare—”

However, before he could finish his sentence, one of Zhan Tianqing’s soldiers cracked him in the back with their gun, sending him to the ground

“JUNBAI!”

Chen Yuzhi then tried to get to him, but the men holding him just yanked him back before they threw him in Zhao Jingming’s direction, Zhao Jingming grabbing him

“You’re finally mine now”

He then began to drag him away, Chen Yuzhi fighting him the entire time

“Let go!  Get off!  Junbai!  Junbai!”

Zhan Junbai, however, didn’t answer and instead just laid on the floor, still, as Zhao Jingming continued to drag him away, dragging him upstairs

While they were heading upstairs, Zhan Tianqing looked at his men and nodded, his men nodding in reply before they began to beat the ever-loving shit out of Zhan Junbai

(Of course the bastard would have someone else beat the crap out of his own nephew…can’t be bothered to get his own hands dirty.  Gotta make someone else do it)

While Zhan Junbai was getting beaten to hell, Wang Meng, who had followed behind, saw what was going on before he quickly turned and rushed out of there

He needed to get help

He continued to run through the streets of Jing City and as he was running, he noticed Jiang Yuelou leaving the police station, as he had stayed to finish up some reports for Commissioner Bai

He then ran over to him and stopped before him

“You’re Chief Jiang, right?”

Jiang Yuelou blinked before he nodded

“Yes…can I help you?”

Wang Meng nodded

“You need to come, right now”

Jiang Yuelou frowned

“Come where?”

Wang Meng huffed

“There’s no time to explain, if we don’t go now, Zhan Junbai will die, and Chen Yuzhi will probably be raped!”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened before something shifted in them and he looked Wang Meng in the eyes

“Where are they?”

Wang Meng motioned with his head

“Follow me”

Jiang Yuelou nodded and quickly followed after him as they ran back to Zhan Tianqing’s mansion

Meanwhile, upstairs, Zhao Jingming dragged Chen Yuzhi to a nearby bedroom and shoved him inside before he locked the door behind them, so Chen Yuzhi couldn’t escape

Once they were alone, Zhao Jingming looked at Chen Yuzhi and smiled lustfully

“Finally…I have you”

Chen Yuzhi shook his head and slowly backed away from him

“Don’t you fucking touch me…don’t you come near me”

Zhao Jingming, however, just ignored his order and just slowly began to walk towards him, Chen Yuzhi backing away from him until his legs suddenly bumped against the edge of the bed, making him look back at it in horror

Shit, he was trapped

Just then, Zhao Jingming rushed towards him and pounced, pinning him to the bed

“Now I’m going to do whatever I want with you”

Chen Yuzhi, however, was not just going to lie there and take it, so he began hitting and fighting back, refusing to let Zhao Jingming touch him

As he fought, Zhao Jingming found himself growing angrier and angrier until he couldn’t take it any longer and reached into his pocket, pulling out a syringe full of clear liquid

He then took the syringe and stabbed it into Chen Yuzhi’s neck, Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widening as he looked at Zhao Jingming

“What did you—”

His eyes then fluttered as his body went limp, causing Zhao Jingming to smile

“Just something to…soothe your nerves”

He then took a step back and reached out, carefully shifting Chen Yuzhi so that he was properly lying on the bed before he got on top of him and smiled lustfully

Oh…he was looking forward to this

Meanwhile, downstairs, Zhan Junbai was still getting the shit beat out of him when the doors burst open and Wang Meng and Jiang Yuelou rushed in, their guns drawn

As they rushed in, Zhan Tianqing looked over at them and frown

“Who—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Meng fired a shot at his leg, sending him to the ground before he fired shot after shot at the men beating Zhan Junbai, sending them all to the ground as well

Once they were all incapacitated, Jiang Yuelou looked over at Wang Meng

“Where’s Chen Yuzhi?”

Wang Meng hummed

“Last I saw, Zhao Jingming dragged him upstairs”

Jiang Yuelou nodded before he put his gun back in his holster and rushed off, running upstairs

When he reached upstairs, he tested each door by turning the knob and pushing them open until he came to one door that when he turned the knob and pushed…the door didn’t open

The minute he realized the door was locked, Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened before he snarled

No door was going to stand between him and Chen Yuzhi

None

So, with one swift kick by the doorknob, Jiang Yuelou broke open the door, causing Zhao Jingming, who was straddling and undressing an unconscious Chen Yuzhi, to look over with wide eyes

At the sight of Zhao Jingming on top of Chen Yuzhi, Jiang Yuelou saw red before he stormed over to Zhao Jingming and grabbed him by the back of his suit, yanking him off of Chen Yuzhi

He then threw him onto the floor before he pounced on him, grabbing him by the front of his shirt

“I warned you”

He then began to whale on Zhao Jingming, beating him until his face and Jiang Yuelou’s knuckles were a bloody mess

Once he had beaten Zhao Jingming unconscious (or at least he thought he was unconscious, the man wasn’t moving), Jiang Yuelou pushed himself to his feet and rushed over to the bed and gently shook Chen Yuzhi’s shoulder

“Chen Yuzhi.  Chen Yuzhi!”

Chen Yuzhi let out a soft noise before he slowly opened his eyes, frowning slightly before his eyes flew open and he gasped, beginning to fight against Jiang Yuelou, who blocked his attacks before he reached out and gently cupped his face in his hands

“Chen Yuzhi!”

At his voice, Chen Yuzhi blinked a few times before he slowly looked up into his eyes, which were full of concern

“J-Jiang Yuelou?”

Jiang Yuelou nodded as he gently stroked his cheek

“It’s me.  It’s me, baby.  It’s me”

Chen Yuzhi sniffled before he let out a soft sob, Jiang Yuelou shook his head

“Shh, don’t cry.  Don’t cry.  Come on, let’s get you to a hospital and get you looked at”

Chen Yuzhi nodded, Jiang Yuelou smiling softly before he reached out and scooped him into his arms, Chen Yuzhi’s arms going around his neck as he buried his face in his shoulder

“I’ve got you, baby.  I’ve got you”

A little while later, both Chen Yuzhi and Zhan Junbai were admitted to the hospital, Jiang Yuelou at Chen Yuzhi’s side the entire time

When Chen Yuzhi finally woke up, he looked over at Jiang Yuelou and frowned

“Jiang Yuelou?”

Jiang Yuelou looked at him and smiled softly

“Yuzhi.  How are you feeling?  Are you okay?”

Chen Yuzhi nodded

“I still feel groggy…but I don’t feel like I don’t have control of my body anymore”

Jiang Yuelou smiled and nodded

“Good…that’s good”

Chen Yuzhi then looked at him and shook his head

“I’m sorry…for shouting at you that day”

Jiang Yuelou shook his head

“No, it’s my fault.  I wasn’t honest with you”

He then took a deep breath

“When I first met you…I really did want to use you to get close to Zhan Junbai…to see if he really was the one smuggling the opium into Jing City.  And I also wanted to see if you were involved with the smuggling…because using medicine is a great way to smuggle opium throughout the city.  But…before we even spoke, I watched you with a patient, a young child, and I thought to myself…there’s no way this person is involved with drug or the smuggling operation.  He’s too kind.  And when we were speaking, I could see you were an honest person.  So, I put off my mission to use you to get close to Zhan Junbai…and just decided to get to know you.  I wanted to know more about you, not your cousin…which is why I kept coming back”

He then looked at Chen Yuzhi, who was looking at him with glassy eyes, and smiled softly

“I do love you, Chen Yuzhi.  I’ve loved you this entire time…nothing about our time together was fake.  It was very real”

Chen Yuzhi blinked before he sniffled and shook his head

“I’m sorry…I said those cruel thing…I’m—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Yuelou leaned forward and gently pressed a kiss to his forehead

“Shhh…it’s not your fault.  It’s not your fault, sweetheart”

He then pulled away before he gently wiped away the tears streaming down Chen Yuzhi’s cheek, Chen Yuzhi leaning into his touch before he noticed that his knuckles were red and raw, causing him to gasp

“Jiang Yuelou!  Your knuckles—”

He then reached out and took Jiang Yuelou’s hands in his, looking at the knuckles in horror before he looked at him

“—what did you do?!”

Jiang Yuelou huffed

“Made good on my threat”

Chen Yuzhi frowned

“What threat?”

Jiang Yuelou looked at him and smiled

“I told Zhao Jingming that day I dragged him out of your clinic that if he did anything to you that God himself that would not be able to save him from my wrath.  And when I saw him on top of you, undressing you…I lost it”

Chen Yuzhi stared at him with wide eyes before he looked at his knuckles again

“So what did you do, beat him to death?”

Jiang Yuelou shrugged

“Possibly”

Chen Yuzhi looked at him in shock

“Jiang Yuelou!”

Jiang Yuelou huffed and pulled his hands away as he looked at him

“What, I was just supposed to let him do that to you, Yuzhi?!  Huh?!  No!  The bastard got what he deserved, and I don’t regret doing it.  Hell, I’d do it again if I had to”

Chen Yuzhi stared at him with wide eyes before he huffed softly and shook his head

“Attack dog indeed”

Jiang Yuelou smirked

“I’m just protecting what’s important to me.  Is that so wrong?”

Chen Yuzhi looked at him before he shook his head

“No”

Jiang Yuelou smiled before he leaned forward and rested his forehead against his, Chen Yuzhi letting out a soft hum of content

“Just rest, Yuzhi.  I’ll be right here.  I’m not going anywhere”

Chen Yuzhi hummed and nodded before he looked at him

“When I’m discharged, I’m going to clean and bandage your hands”

Jiang Yuelou blinked

“You don’t need to—”

“And let them get infected?!  No.  You’re getting treated and that’s final”

Jiang Yuelou blinked again before he laughed softly and pressed a soft kiss to his forehead

“Yes, Dr. Chen”

Chen Yuzhi hummed content, reveling in the feeling of Jiang Yuelou’s lips on his skin, not realizing that Zhan Junbai, who was standing outside, was watching the two of them

He had originally wanted to yank Jiang Yuelou away from Chen Yuzhi and tell him to stay the hell away from him but after Wang Meng told him what Jiang Yuelou had done and how he had saved Chen Yuzhi…he decided to let it slide

However

If he made Chen Yuzhi cry again like how he had cried in his clinic…Zhan Junbai would bury him

L'emergente nouvelle vague della moda indiana. A cura di Federico Rocca.

Forse ai più le firme di Ashish N Soni, Manish Arora e Rajesh Pratap Singh, non diranno granché, eppure questi nomi - e tanti altri del tutto impronunciabili per gli occidentali – rappresentano l’emergente nouvelle vague della moda indiana: un vero e proprio esercito di creativi che in tempi piuttosto recenti ha iniziato a farsi spazio nell’impenetrabile fashion system internazionale. Per anni ingiustamente confinati nella produzione low-cost globalizzata,e ora spalleggiati dalla forza di un’economia sempre più rampante, questo ben assortito gruppo di stilisti sta conquistando rapidamente le passerelle e i mercati mondiali, padroneggiando con assoluta disinvoltura il linguaggio e la tecnica della moda. E se nell’immaginario comune la moda indiana è ancora sinonimo di kitsch, questi new designer - senza perdere di vista la millenaria tradizione del passato – fanno piazza pulita di saree variopinti e ricami dorati per dimostrare un’inventiva sbalorditiva, tutta documentata nelle oltre 400 illustrazioni contenute nel volume. Contemporary Indian fashion presenta infatti una vasta collezione di capi d’abbigliamento, lavorazioni, ricami, contaminazioni e mix di stili; una moda sperimentale che è piacevolmente libera da pregiudizi estetici e audace nelle invenzioni. Fashion designers: Anamika Khanna, Manish Arora, Zubair Kirmani, Gaurav Gupta, Prashant Verma, Drashta Sarvaya, Cue by Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna, Ashish N Soni, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, My Village / Rimzim Dadu, Rajesh Pratap Singh, Varun Bahl, Kavita Bhartia, Namrata Joshipura, Nachiket Barve, Shantanu Goenka, Ranna Gill, Nimita Rathod, Shantanu & Nikhil, Anuj Sharma, Swapnil Shinde, Small Shop.
