Having graduated, Gu Weizhou rarely slept at home. The room, with its drawn curtains, concealed the view outside, creating an atmosphere of tranquility. However, he was awakened from his pleasant slumber by a familiar ringtone, pulling him back to reality.
“Hello…?”
Upon hearing the groggy voice on the other end, Jiang Junhao’s face revealed a hint of indulgent helplessness. He habitually glanced at the photo frame beside him and said, “You didn’t sleep from yesterday till now, did you?”
“Well… it’s a holiday.”
“But you can’t sleep until noon, you’ll get a headache from sleeping too long.”
“Huh?” Gu Weizhou, who had just gotten up from bed, walked to the window and pulled the curtains. As he did, the glaring sunlight instantly shone on his messy hair and body.
Squinting at the sun above his head, Gu Weizhou had to admit that he had indeed slept too soundly today.
“You haven’t eaten either?”
“Uh…” Still groggy, he rubbed his head, showing a rare delayed reaction.
Hearing the still drowsy mumbling on the other end, a helpless smile appeared on the man’s face. He loved calling this person right after they woke up because they would subconsciously act a bit spoiled. However, it seemed that this person had never noticed this.
But it’s probably for the best.
“I went to the scene for the mission yesterday, so today I’ll make it up to you. I’ll pick you up in half an hour and we’ll have a meal together, okay?”
“Um…”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Junhao glanced sideways and gently caressed the young man’s profile in the photo frame, a loving smile filling his eyes. “I really don’t know what to do with you.”
Half an hour later, Gu Weizhou, who had tidied himself up, left on time and unsurprisingly saw Jiang Junhao, who had arrived early, downstairs. After greeting him with a smile, he got into the car directly.
Jiang Junhao was a childhood friend and neighbor of Wen Yichuan. Their families had been neighbors for over 20 years. Since Wen Yichuan was recognized as a fake, his parents had adopted a non interfering attitude towards him. Thanks to Jiang Junhao, the neighbor with an overflowing sense of justice, who always brought him things, Wen Yichuan hadn’t starved to death countless times.
A few years ago, Jiang Junhao’s father got transferred, and their family moved from the suburbs to the city center, ending their neighborly relationship.
After Wen Yichuan entered W University, his parents directly bought him a two-bedroom apartment nearby, claiming it was for the sake of his studies being closer to the school. In reality, they kicked him out without any consideration or face.
Once he moved to the city, Wen Yichuan naturally contacted his childhood friend and neighbor.
Unlike Wen Yichuan, who had just graduated, Jiang Junhao, who is four years older, was already a working special police officer. In just a few years, he had solved numerous difficult cases and had become a prominent figure in the police force.
Perhaps due to other party’s profession, Wen Yichuan was usually cold and distant towards Jiang Junhao, far from being intimate. But Jiang Junhao didn’t mind his attitude and often called and contacted him.
Buckling his seatbelt, Gu Weizhou turned his head and smiled. “Officer Jiang, how did your mission end so quickly this time? I thought I wouldn’t see you for another ten days or so.”
Turning the car around, Jiang Junhao smiled. “It’s not over yet; I chose to return first.”

Looking ahead at the road, Jiang Junhao said, “You can try a different approach and not always push yourself so hard.” It’s exhausting and you’re already very, very outstanding now.

“It was added due to an accident. How do you know?”
“I asked someone to record your graduation speech for me, but I didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise. I had my colleague in the technical department edit it separately. We can listen to it together whenever we have time.”
Hearing this, Gu Weizhou couldn’t help but feel amused and exasperated. “The auditorium was so noisy, and it had a lot of background noise. If you wanted to listen, I could have played it separately for you. It wouldn’t have been so troublesome.”
Silently curling his lower lip, the man turned his head. “Playing it separately, you say.”
“Yeah, I said playing it separately for Officer Jiang only.”
After some banter, the car stopped in front of a not-so-large restaurant. This place had the spicy crayfish that Wen Yichuan had longed for. Its unique and outstanding taste had even been featured in the newspapers of W City multiple times. The crayfish was limited each day, so basically it was considered priceless in the market.
Wen Yichuan had heard about this restaurant multiple times, but due to school and other reasons, he had been craving it for years without ever having the chance to truly taste it.
After parking the car, Jiang Junhao led the way into the restaurant, familiar with the surroundings. The owner’s eyes lit up as he saw Jiang Junhao and immediately greeted them with a smile, saying, “Officer Jiang, it’s been a while.”
“I’ve been busy with a few cases recently,” Jiang Junhao responded. “Is there any crayfish left today?”
The owner, a middle-aged man with a round face, had a particularly amiable smile. Leading them towards the brightly lit area near the window, he said, “During this period, we sell out every day. They were all bought in the morning.”
As he brought them to a table by a nice window in the dining hall, the owner asked, “Officer Jiang, did you come specifically for the crayfish today?”
“I did have that idea, but since there’s none left, we’ll have something else,” Jiang Junhao replied.
“Hey, hey, don’t worry. I actually saved three kilograms specifically for gifting. Since Officer Jiang came all this way, I’ll bring it out to whet your appetite,” the owner insisted.
Jiang Junhao initially didn’t want to trouble anyone, but seeing Wen Yichuan by his side and remembering how he had mentioned wanting to taste the crayfish before, he held back the words that were about to leave his mouth and smiled. “Thank you for giving me special treatment, boss.”
“Hahaha, you’re welcome. Officer Jiang, please have a seat. I’ll personally take care of the cooking. It’ll be delicious,” the owner said, then headed towards the back kitchen.
Watching the owner’s smiling figure as he walked away, Gu Weizhou turned his head and said, “I didn’t expect Officer Jiang to have such a good relationship with the locals. Even the boss is personally cooking for you.”
As Jiang Junhao wiped the table clean and poured tea for them, he heard the teasing remark and could only explain with a smile, “When I used to come here to eat, sometimes there were fights going on. I intervened and took a few troublemakers back to the station a couple of times. After a few back-and-forths, we got to know each other.”
Taking the tea handed to him by the man, Gu Weizhou said, “No wonder the boss’s eyes light up and he’s so enthusiastic when he sees you. I didn’t realize that in addition to coming here to eat, you also worked as a bouncer.”
“Heh… Yichuan, you’ve learned how to tease people.”
Taking a sip of the tea, Gu Weizhou said, “Without the pressure of studies, people naturally feel more relaxed.”
Hearing those words, Jiang Junhao’s eyes held a hint of amusement as he looked steadily at the increasingly captivating young man opposite him. He said, “That’s good.” There was no sense of distance or barriers between them.
In no time, the crayfish was served on the table. As Gu Weizhou, who was on the path to becoming a perfect male god, faced the large pot of bright red crayfish, he wanted to eat but didn’t quite know how to start.
Seeing Gu Weizhou sneakily drooling, Jiang Junhao couldn’t hide his amusement in his eyes. He took the initiative to put on a disposable glove and began peeling the crayfish for him.
“…It’s delicious.” Feeling the explosion of flavor in his mouth, Gu Weizhou then shifted his gaze back to the man’s hands, his eyes filled with eagerness.
Jiang Junhao’s eyes were filled with doting as he quietly peeled the crayfish for him. Just as they had barely finished half a kilogram of the three kilograms of crayfish, a woman’s high-pitched scream suddenly came from the street outside the restaurant.
“Ah—Robbery!”
As soon as the words fell, Gu Weizhou sensed that the man in front of him, who had just been smiling like a gentle breeze, suddenly had a change in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the man’s figure vanished from the seat, leaving only the disposable glove drifting down onto the table.
[I think I understand why Wen Yichuan didn’t like to spend time with his childhood friend anymore.]
[Hmm…?]
[He’s too responsible.]
How could he disappear with a ‘swish’ just halfway through the meal like that?
[Host, I suggest you follow Jiang Junhao to apprehend the robber.]
Picking up a piece of juicy crayfish meat that the man had just peeled and putting it into his mouth, Gu Weizhou replied, [I don’t want to go. I just want to eat crayfish here.]
[Jiang Junhao might encounter the target.]
Suddenly standing up, Gu Weizhou exclaimed, [Robbery in broad daylight! As a socialist successor with strong moral values, how can I stand by and do nothing?]
[…]
As the top graduate of the police academy, Jiang Junhao excelled in physical fitness and combat skills. In just a short span of ten seconds, he spotted the robber in front, riding a motorcycle like an airplane.
The man accelerated, but on the bumpy road, no matter how fast the robber’s motorcycle was, it couldn’t fly. Seeing the distance between them getting shorter, Jiang Junhao looked up and saw the main road at the turning point.
Once the robber reached the main road, it would be difficult for him to catch up.
Noticing a young man coming towards him not far away, Jiang Junhao shouted at him, “I’m a police officer! Help me stop the motorcycle in front. He’s a fleeing robber!”
Yan Jingze happened to be holding an old map and searching for directions when he heard a voice not far away. He looked up and saw a man riding a motorcycle, scowling fiercely as he charged toward him, shouting, “Fuck off if you don’t want to die!”
Yan Jingze generally didn’t like to meddle in other people’s business, as he didn’t even have time to take care of himself, let alone others. However, there was one thing he hated: being cursed at.
So, upon hearing the profanity, he halted his steps, and his gaze gradually turned cold.
Watching the pursuit and the chase, and combining it with the words from earlier, Yan Jingze probably understood what was going on in an instant, but he didn’t reveal a hint of it on his face.
He stepped back slightly to the side. The motorcyclist thought he had frightened the man and stepped on the accelerator to accelerate. However, just as he was about to pass by Yan Jingze, the latter suddenly raised his foot and delivered a powerful kick to the man’s waist.
“Ah—!”
Plop—
Boom—
There were three loud noises, almost like an unbroken thread, as the robber, who had been kicked to the ground, writhed in pain. He was just about to get up when Jiang Junhao, who had caught up, immediately restrained him. With the handcuffs he carried, he snapped them onto the man with a clank, firmly securing him.
Gasping for breath, Jiang Junhao looked up at the person who had struck with lightning speed and smiled, giving him a thumbs-up. “Great kick!”
“Assisting the police in handling cases is the duty of every law-abiding citizen,” Yan Jingze replied with a warm expression, giving no indication of his previous reluctance to get involved.
Jiang Junhao chuckled, about to say something, when he heard a familiar voice not far away.
“Junhao, what happened?”
Upon hearing the voice, both of them turned their heads at the same time. Yan Jingze saw a figure not far away, a young man with outstanding temperament and gentle brows and eyes, hastily approaching.
Seeing Gu Weizhou’s presence, Jiang Junhao seemed to realize something and immediately showed a remorseful expression on his face. “…Sorry, it was a reflex, and I ended up chasing after him.”
Observing the rare embarrassed look on the man’s face, Gu Weizhou pursed his lips and smiled. “No wonder Officer Jiang is so popular with the masses. Turns out you’re so dedicated that you can suddenly disappear in a split second even when having a meal.”
Hearing the teasing remark, Jiang Junhao felt awkward and remorseful. It was rare for Yichuan to be willing to have a close meal with him, and this was the result…
“Yichuan, I… Don’t be angry. I’ll definitely be more careful next time, no, there won’t be a next time.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t want to be mocked by the public for this either,” Gu Weizhou said, shifting his gaze to the other person. “And who is this…?”
“Oh, this young man just helped me catch this person. Without his help, he would have escaped. I haven’t even thanked him yet. What’s your name, young man?”
“Yan Jingze.”
As the man spoke, his eyes were fixed on Gu Weizhou, who was not far away, with a smile playing at the corner of his mouth. In the depths of his ink-like eyes, there was a mysterious and profound flicker.
It’s the calm before the storm. Brace yourselves.
