Series: He’s So Fierce, I Absolutely Love Him

“So you did CPR on him for half an hour and actually brought him back to life?!” An Nian’s big, cat-like eyes widened in awe. “I’m a doctor—saving lives always comes first,” Xia Zhile replied casually, but his expression was full of smug satisfaction. An Nian’s smile was sweeter than a ripe persimmon. After admiring…

Xia Zhile’s family wasn’t rich, but they weren’t poor either. He was fiercely independent, refusing to spend a single cent of his parents’ money after graduation. He was so broke that he survived on instant noodles in the dorm, too stingy even to splurge on some pickled vegetables. Lin Hening once caught him in the…

In an instant, every criminal case he had ever handled flashed through his mind like a film reel. Dozens of possible “scenarios” formed in his head. All of them led to the same conclusion—disposing of the body. Lin Hening wasn’t the panicking type. His brain just worked a little too fast sometimes. It wasn’t fear—just…

“Baby!” Xia Zhile rushed to the bedside, eyes red with worry, looking every bit like the tragic hero of a melodrama—on the verge of tears at a moment’s notice. “Where are you hurt? You scared me to death! Let me see—did you get a CT scan? An EKG? Blood test results—where are they? Give them…

“You don’t know, An Nian is really miserable and pitiful.” Lin Hening had been conserving his energy all night, planning to get Xia Zhile to explain everything before breakfast. But the moment Xia Zhile opened his mouth, he started talking about how pitiful An Nian was? Lin Hening immediately felt a wave of nausea, making…

As dinnertime rolled around, customers trickled into the shop. Zhou Zhou excitedly got to work—serving dishes, wiping tables, and greeting customers. Meanwhile, the food delivery app kept buzzing with new orders. It wasn’t until past 8 p.m. that things finally slowed down. Just as Zhou Zhou was about to take a sip of water, another…

“You refuse to transfer hospitals—don’t you know I’m doing this for your own good?” “It’s because you think Rui Tan Hospital is too expensive, right? Are you seriously short on money?” “Can you stop being so stubborn and bullheaded? Do you know better, or do I?” First thing in the morning, Lin Hening was getting…

“Where are you going?” Lin Hening asked coldly. “Right now?” Xia Zhile kept the call connected but pulled the phone away from his ear. His face had gone pale. “An Nian is being followed by Wang Tu. He’s hiding in a public restroom alone.” Wang Tu—An Nian’s writer ex-boyfriend. Xia Zhile hurriedly spoke into the…

Lin Hening sensed someone behind him. He already knew it was Gu Fei. Subconsciously, he slowed his pace, waiting for Gu Fei to catch up. When they were finally walking side by side, neither of them spoke. Lin Hening stopped. Gu Fei stopped as well. The cigarette between Gu Fei’s calloused fingers continued to burn…

Lin Hening declined the call, but it rang again. He declined it once more, and finally, his phone powered off completely, out of battery. When he got home, sure enough, Xia Zhile was standing at the door. A proper boyfriend wouldn’t need to stand outside—he should know the passcode to Lin Hening’s door, right? Well,…

“Zhile-ge, you don’t usually drink this much.” An Nian quickly grabbed the half-finished beer from Xia Zhile’s hand before he could pour himself another glass. Xia Zhile considered asking for it back, but when he saw An Nian’s nervous expression and worried gaze, the beer on his tongue suddenly tasted bitter. He forced a small…

The cat was gone. Although Lin Hening often complained that the cat was disobedient, refused to be touched, and would be thrown out one day, he had never actually abandoned it. He still fed it well, took care of it, and even left the air conditioning on during the peak of summer to prevent it…

Gu Fei: “Take your medicine first.” Lin Hening tossed the capsule into his mouth and swallowed it down with a big gulp of warm water. Gu Fei sat down on the couch opposite him and said, “You’re always busy with work. I guess you don’t have time to cook?” Lin Hening nodded. Gu Fei continued,…

At 10:30 PM, the restaurant was empty, and Fatty clocked out. Gu Fei and Zhou Zhou wiped down the tables, swept the floor, and closed up for the night. The second floor of the restaurant was originally part of the business, but one room had been partitioned off for Zhou Zhou to live in. Later,…

“Gu Fei.” Gu Fei turned around at the sound of his name, just as the passerby shook their head and said they hadn’t seen the cat. Lin Hening walked up to him. “Are you… delivering food?” Gu Fei replied, “I came here to restock supplies.” Lin Hening nodded. Awkward silence. Lin Hening smiled. “Thanks for…

“We’ve had Qiu Bi for two years. He’s a cat who knows gratitude—he wouldn’t just leave.” Xia Zhile sounded deflated, his voice dry. “It’s fine. We’ll keep looking. If you’re tired, you can go home first. I’ll keep searching.” Lin Hening didn’t leave—not because he couldn’t bear to let Xia Zhile search alone, but because…

“They still haven’t found Qiu Bi?” “No.” Xia Zhile felt terrible thinking about the cat he had personally decided to adopt and bring home. “People always say dogs are loyal, but cats love their owners just as much. They just get playful and wander off, but they always come home. I saw a story once—this…

Lin Hening was dumbfounded by the little devil’s move. Without hesitation, he hit “Decline.” He picked up a hairdryer and started drying his hair, but before it was even halfway dry, his phone buzzed again. An Nian. Again. ?? What’s the deal? What’s the deal?? After lurking in the shadows for so long, is he…

Jian Xiaoxi had been on stakeout all night. When they finally wrapped up in the morning, he suggested treating everyone to breakfast. The whole squad, yawning and exhausted, headed to their go-to spot—Apricot Blossom Diner. As soon as they stepped in, they started shouting out orders for steamed buns, millet porridge, tea eggs, and tofu…

Lin Hening was in a good mood today. Early in the morning, he got a call from his father, Lin Youyu, who told him that their business negotiations in the Philippines had been successful. Lin Corporation had formed a partnership with the other company, and on the day of the press conference, their stock prices…
