Lover in the Bottle
墨書 Inktalez
She said that her missing lover was in that vase.
This was the only clue to find him.
Ye He Shun stood in front of Fang Zhizheng, slightly lowering his head, his tongue instinctively licking his lips, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
In winter, people bundled up in heavy clothing.
Despite the cold weather, he still wore his usual attire: a shirt paired with a coat, but the coat hung loosely on him, making him look even larger.
Ye He Shun often felt disheartened by this: how was it that winter had arrived, and he still couldn't blend into the crowd?
Moreover, with his self-proclaimed "righteous face," he could be recognized as a police officer no matter where he went, which was quite detrimental to his investigative work.
Every time he needed to say something difficult to express, he felt even more awkward about his bulky figure, and his confidence took a hit.
At that moment, he found himself in such a predicament, racking his brain for a way to recount the events without being ridiculed by an old classmate.
Ye He Shun always thought that Fang Zhizheng's slender build meant he could never understand the discomfort he felt.
Fang Zhizheng accepted the Bi Luo Chun tea handed to him by the waiter and softly thanked him.
After the waiter left, he turned to the awkward-looking Ye He Shun and said gently, “Have you run into another strange case? It’s alright, I won’t laugh at you. This vast world is full of wonders.”
“Really? That’s good to hear,” a glimmer of relief flashed in Ye He Shun’s eyes.
“Though I can’t promise how long I can hold back,” Fang Zhizheng replied with a slight smirk, teasing him.
“Shut up,” Ye He Shun shot him a glare, pretending to be angry. “I’m here to have a heart-to-heart with an old classmate. You, as a private detective, must be tired of investigating missing pets and extramarital affairs. Listening to my news will actually be good for you, and it’s free.”
Fang Zhizheng crossed his arms over his chest and leaned slightly forward, adopting an attentive posture. “Go ahead, I’m all ears.”
“A boy has gone missing,” Ye He Shun’s expression turned serious.
“Oh, a missing person case,” Fang Zhizheng nodded slightly.
“But… it seems he has somehow gotten himself stuck inside a vase,” Ye He Shun hesitated for a moment before finally saying it.
“How big is the vase?” Fang Zhizheng asked curiously.
“Please don’t laugh, just hold it in! It’s about a foot long,” Ye He Shun said nervously, staring at Fang Zhizheng, afraid he would burst out laughing.
Fang Zhizheng squinted slightly and scrutinized Ye He Shun for a while, as if trying to determine whether he was joking.
“If you want to laugh, just go ahead. Yes! I’m an atheist; this isn’t magic or anything. But this is the only clue we have. Don’t look at me like that; I’m not from Mars,” Ye He Shun said, growing anxious as he defended himself.
"Now is not the time to laugh. You tell me what happened, and then I'll decide whether I should laugh," Fang Zhizheng waved his hand, signaling him to continue.
"Forget it. This situation is actually quite complicated."
Ye He Shun took a deep breath and began to explain, "Gao Huan and Lu Ming are a young couple, both university students.
Lu Ming is three years older than Gao Huan, making him Gao Huan's senior. It is said that they fell in love at first sight; they were smitten from the very first day they met and became inseparable by the second day. However, such seemingly beautiful love is often susceptible to family interference."
