Hello.

I was curious if in the CN server there had been more info on why Xia Yan has a 3 year life expectancy and if this is discovered by MC or another boy ?

Xiexie!

spoooooilers!

xiayan gets hit by like poison gas on a mission and thats why he has the 3 year life expectancy.

both ljh & moyi have some idea of it but not specifically

luke pearce relationship headcanons 🐹

WHERE ARE ALL THE LUKE SIMPS IVE SEEN NONE OF YALL IN MY INBOX?? anyways if you don’t like him or say he’s boring i don’t trust you

- you are and have always been his first yet most complicated choice. there is nothing he wouldn’t do to be with you, but for years forced himself to avoid you for your sake. it’s common knowledge at this point that luke only has three years to live, and the last thing he wanted to do was cause you grief by tearing such a strong bond so suddenly.

- when you met again outside of penny’s comfort foods, a thousand emotions went through his heart at once: overwhelming happiness, dread, love, even regret. because despite himself, he will always find his way back to you.

- he holds onto you in any capacity that he can, at any time. you don’t understand his need to have your hand in his all the time, or how his hugs seem extra tight certain nights, and you don’t for a while. but when you do, you’re guilty of holding onto him for a couple of extra minutes too.

- luke tinkers with things for you. he makes useful things better, and useless things pretty; some of which he’ll hand over to you as a gift if he’s particularly proud of it. a lot of self defence tools come out of this, just for the nights he can’t be around.

- you experience as much together as you can to make up for the years spent apart, and make a ton of amazing memories from them.

- occasionally he brings up the topic of what will happen after he’s gone. you never want to listen, but when he takes your hands in his, begging you to meet his eye, you can do nothing but comply. because he has no parents to fall back onto, he will scatter his belongings amongst his dearest friends, ending with you. he promises you that you will inherit the most important parts of him each time. each time, he reminds you that he will always remain with you in some form.

- anyways enough of that sad stuff!!! you have years together, let’s not worry about all of that down the road. you pray every day that by some miracle luke will be able to get help and start towards recovery, but only time will tell.

- a best friend type of boyfriend, totally. loves making bad jokes, or calling you sappy nicknames in public just to see you flustered. he would probably tell a waitress it’s your birthday when it’s not LMAO

- i’ve probably already made it obvious, but physical touch is definitely his love language! long kisses, drawn out mornings in bed, arms around your waist whilst you make coffee. random massages. all of it.

- as said in the game, there’s a certain tacit understanding between the two of you. this makes you great partners not only in life, but also investigations! you can communicate without words, and will never fail to put your faith in the other. there’s probably a fair amount of times wherein you’ve protected each other, too, whether legally or physically.

- randomly drops off lunch at the firm without warning. (there is a pattern, but you can’t figure out what it is and he intends to keep it that way)

- not jealous very easily, he knows you would never leave him — but he’s confident about calling you his. he would definitely show off to marius given the chance.

- he keeps a diary that documents your relationship, either by the day or the week to serve as a memento for the future

- ;-;

Saw the meme from user @/xiayan and thought I'd add mine (ू•ᴗ•ू❁)

aaaand I can't wait for everyone to see how wonderful he is and give him all the love and let's all appreciate this adorkable lawyer together

[xiayan]

DEATH.

[xiayan]

hi tiny rant. mostly negative (sorry)!!!

i’m happy that tot is getting an en release but it also pains me how we’re getting an en release while the cn ver barely gets any updates anymore. our last main story update was so long ago and the events these days require a ton of work to literally compete (remember the damn board game style?? i used to bemoan it was too repetitive now i can barely finish one event). we still get event + card stories sure but the main draw that mhy advertises is literally the main story and it’s detective and mystery elements. not to mention the (this one is personal) new, worse looking ui and the increased loading times.

when compared to other games in the same market imo tot is lagging behind. from the beginning tot hasn’t been making as much money as games like mlqc. also i don’t really trust mhy translation teams if gen//shin is any indication (and also THE NAMES..... THE NAMES........ AND MISSY)! 

anyways, happy that more people get to know my boys but just know we only refer to them with their chinese names on this blog. i’m happy to answer any questions about the game but these are my thoughts on it ^^, and most of all i hope this lil rant doesn’t ruin anyone’s experience. tot is a fun and engaging game and all the boys (sans moyi smh) is super sweet.

[xiayan]

idk a luke pearce.

[xiayan]

[xiayan]

SO WE'RE GETTING AN ENG RELEASE.... NOBODY TOUCH ME.

[xiayan]

YOU MEAN LUKE WASN’T A TYPO? YOU MEAN LUKE IS ACTUALLY HIS NAME? LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME THIS ISN’T REAL I

[xiayan]

[xiayan]

[xiayan]

zuoran

zr: today’s christmas eve, you can clock out earlier.

mc: yeah, i was just about to go. its sad that i can only get takeout at home on christmas eve,

zr: takeout isn’t healthy, it’s still early, lets go eat dinner together.

zr: if there’s other stuff you want to do as well, just tell me, i’ll stay with you.

mc: then i won’t hold back, i want to watch a movie today.

zr: since it’s so close to christmas, there are plenty of movies worth watching.

zr: i remember a family comedy movie called “christmas night”, you’ll probably like it.

zr: i’ll go to the garage to start the car, wait for me downstairs. don’t forget to wear your scarf, it’s cold outside.

lu jinghe

ljh: jiejie, i’m currently drawing a christmas card for you.

ljh: it’s almost done except for the drawing in the middle, do you want a christmas tree or a santa in his sleigh with the reindeer?

mc: i’m fine with both, you should choose.

ljh: okay... then i’ll just toss a coin, i promise to make you the prettiest christmas card.

mc: alright, thank you, but why did you suddenly start drawing christmas cards?

ljh: it’s not sudden, i was picking for a long time, but then i realised that your card just had to be hand-made, only then is it special.

mc: really? then i’ll have to keep it safe when i get it.

ljh: keep? you’re so serious, i’m a bit overwhelmed with your flattery.

ljh: looks like next year’s christmas i’ll have to prepare something extra special as your surprise.

ljh: i hope you’ll like every present just as much.

xia yan

xy: watson watson, what should i do? the gingerbread men i made taste weird, it’s literally inedible...

mc: gingerbread men? what made you suddenly want to make those?

xy: tomorrow’s christmas, i wanted to give you a surprise, but it looks like i shouldn’t have tried to challenge myself.....

mc: it’s alright, compared to the biscuits, knowing you put thought and effort into it is enough.

xy: hahaha, my watson is too good to me.

xy: but its just a shame, you can’t eat christmas cookies tonight...

mc: don’t worry, i’ll come over and make some with you, wait for a while, i’ll go find you.

xy: really? that’s amazing, with you, it’ll definitely turn out great!

xy: i’ll wait at home for you, you have to come quick!

moyi

my: happy christmas eve, are you busy?

mc: i was a while ago, i’m resting now. how about dr moyi, what are you busy with?

my: i was thinking, what flavour of christmas pudding would you like.

mc: the sweet but not fat caramel pudding is pretty good.

my: just what i thought.

my: it is important to take care of the shape and the flavour when it comes to caramel pudding, i like this challenge.

my: it’ll be finished in a few hours, can i send it over to you?

mc: then please. as payback, i’ll treat dr moyi to dinner.

my: alright, then i’ll go and make this pudding.

my: wait for me, i’ll contact you when i’m there.

XIA YAN SR  「完美營救」  (PERFECT CAMP RESCUE)   STORY TWO.

The competition started, and the ten teams all went in different directions away from the starting point.

I followed Xia Yan, so we could quickly get away from the starting point and the other groups.

XIA YAN:

Stop. This distance should be fine, let's just stay here for now.

ME:

Here? Wouldn’t it be safer if we ran a little further?

XIA YAN:

Since we still don’t know the relative positioning of the other groups, running further away might not be an advantage.

ME:

You’re right. We shouldn’t blindly run around, instead, we should spend this time preparing for the fight instead.

I took out the GPS that they gave us.

According to the rules, 15 minutes after the game starts, which is five minutes from now, the GPS will show the position of the ten shards.

ME:

Do you think we should hide the shard first? Then we could lie in wait somewhere else?

It’s like you said, we don’t know where the other teams are, if the enemy is nearby, it would be pretty dangerous.

XIA YAN:

Yeah, as expected of my Watson, I was thinking that too!

Xia Yan and I quickly hid the shard in a tree hollow, then hid ourselves in the nearby shrubs.

Five minutes later, the earphone connected to the GPS beeped softly.

The positions of the shards appeared on the GPS.

XIA YAN:

The numbers on the map represent the shards. “6” is the place where we hid our’s.

Most of the teams are still pretty far away, it’ll take some time if they wanted to come here.

ME:

The teams closest to us right now are team 1 and team 2.

But compared to us, team 3 and 4 are closer to them.

XIA YAN:

Right, and there are no obstacles between them and the other team. It would benefit them greatly if they ambushed team 1 and 2.

ME:

From the looks of it, we’re still pretty safe for now, or at least we can avoid the first wave of fights.

XIA YAN:

If we look at the positions on the map, that would be the case.

I could hear the suggestion in his voice.

ME:

What you mean is, considering all the other elements, we’re not safe after all?

Are you saying… we’ve become the primary target of a team?

XIA YAN:

On the contrary, we’ve actually become the primary target of two teams.

ME:

Why-

I haven’t finished speaking, but something flashed into my mind, I started to remember what happened when we were trying out the guns at the starting point.

~insert flashback yellow tinted colour here~

After Xia Yan helped me tie my vest, the other teams hurried to the spot.

I wasn’t sure if it was just me, but all the people looked taller and stronger after wearing their uniforms.

They all took the guns and started using the trees as targets, trying out the guns.

ME:

This is a good chance! We can see their strengths right here!

After a volley of bullets, most of the trees were unharmed, instead, the floor was painted in multiple colours.

ME:

Eh? I guess the gap in ability isn’t as big as I thought after all.

Xia Yan shook his head, and his gaze swept across the crowd.

XIA YAN:

The way they hold their guns clearly show experience. It’s only because the guns and bullets here are new, they haven’t gotten used to them yet.

But, since they can accordingly adjust the angle of the gun depending on their distance, they’ve obviously played a lot.

That one on the very left, he adapted pretty quickly, he’s probably the best guy in that crowd.

~flashback ended~

Back then I only focused on their skills, and totally forgot about one of the most important points-- the number of people.

XIA YAN:

All six of the teams have four people.

Since we’re out-numbered, they probably think that we’re the most easy target.

ME:

It’s probably not only that…

I thought back to those competitors and their large and tall frames.

ME:

Unfortunately, in their eyes… my fighting power is in decimals, I don’t even have a full number. *(1)

Taking away that little decimal, we’re literally just a one man team. Since it’s such a great chance, obviously they would want to take us down first.

XIA YAN:

What decimal point, we’re not just a one man team!

ME:

Okay, I know you’re just trying to save face for me.

I’ve already come to grips with it, despite really wanting to shout “don’t look down on me!” right now…

As a lawyer, I can tell the difference between slander and objective truth. *(2)

Life isn’t an anime, yelling out loud won’t increase my power, I have to stay reasonable.

ME:

……

But this is seriously taking it too far!

[Even someone like me isn’t easily defeated!]

Even if we lose, I will still try my best!

Even if we can’t win against them, I’ll just drag them down with me!

XIA YAN:

I just knew you wouldn’t so easily give up.

Don’t worry! Afterall, this isn’t our first time playing too! Not only are we playing to win, but we also have to win super good memories!

Xia Yan’s face was relaxed, and there was this sureness in his voice.

ME:

Did you think of some devious plan?

XIA YAN:

It’s not that hard, it’s just some simple tricks.

ME:

Really? But there’s two teams heading for us right now.

XIA YAN:

They’re just ordinary players, if we had to carefully set traps, it wouldn’t be a flashy win for me at all.

It took a moment before I understood his meaning. 

ME:

All of the sudden, I have no idea what to say to you… 

Over these eight years of being apart, the way you praise yourself has become weirder and weirder.

——-

WORD VOMIT:

HELLO!!! i started this one yesterday and got it out pretty quick! after this one i’ll probably finish the jellyfish one then move onto a lu jinghe card.

also i won’t do the other option but if you want me to just..... lmk ig haha

TRANSLATION NOTES:

*(1) basically she's saying that she's very weak lol. probably referencing like. fighting levels / power in games - she's saying that she doesn't even have a whole number (eg 0.8)

*(2) not sure if i translated this right huhu. but basically she’s saying that she can tell the difference between hate and facts ig?
