Hi! I'm with Au hadcanon again. Dying in Chen Yuzhi's arms, Wang Meng told him that he wanted to be brothers with him in the next life. And his wish is fulfilled. Our days. Wang Meng wakes up in the hospital and learns some news. Firstly, he is alive and now the 21st century. Secondly, he's a cop in the drug squad/Wang Meng laughed at such irony for a long time/. Thirdly, his mother is alive and a very cheerful old lady who can easily chase him with a broom if she does not like something in her son's behavior. Wang Meng is discharged from the hospital and at home his mother says that his cousin and younger sister will arrive soon, their house is not ready yet and therefore they will stay with them for a while. Wang Meng grumbles, but agrees. He is happy that his mother is alive. On the day when the guests are due to arrive, Wang Meng goes to the train station to meet the guests. And imagine his shock when his cousin turned out to be Chen Yuzhi. The former drug dealer remembered his dying wish and thinks that fate spoils him too much. Yuzhi does not remember anything about his past life, but this does not prevent him from winning friendship with Wang Meng again. Keing immediately won the older man's heart, he adored her. Wang Meng returns to the service and finds out that he was paired with Jian Yuelou to investigate the latest case. Wang Meng reminds himself not to kill him, even though Jian Yuelou infuriates the hell out of him. And naturally, Yuzhi and Yuelou get acquainted and immediately a spark flashes between them. Wang Meng is not happy with this, but seeing that the sarcastic and dangerous, even rabid Jian Yuelou becomes an affectionate cat with his brother, decides not to interfere in their relationship. But he will definitely warn Demon Jingchen that if he offends his little brother, then Wang Meng knows many ways to kill a person and hide a corpse.
Oh, I do love this. Wang Meng and Jiang Yuelou forced to be partners...fucking hilarious
As he laid dying, Wang Meng couldn’t help but wish that he and Chen Yuzhi were brothers in the next life
It was a good wish, a happy wish, and while he knew it could never come true…it never hurt to wish
So imagine his surprise when he opened his eyes to find himself in a hospital bed hooked up to a bunch of different machines
As he laid there, he blinked a few times, absolutely stunned as to how the fuck he was alive, when he heard soft sniffling from his bedside, making him look over to see his mother holding his hand and crying softly
“M-Mother?”
At his voice, his mother turned and when she saw that he was awake, she let out a gasp
“Mengzi!”
She then gave his hand a squeeze as she shook her head
“You…don’t scare your poor mother like that! I thought you had died!”
‘I thought so too’
He then looked around the hospital room
“Where am I? What year is it?”
His mother tsked softly
“Oh dear, you must’ve hit your head harder than the doctors thought. You’re in the hospital. It’s the yar 2023”
Wang Meng blinked; 2023? Was he in…the future?!
‘What the hell?’
He then looked over at his mother, whom he still couldn’t believe was alive (she looked so much healthier and younger too), and gave her hand a squeeze
“Mother…how did I end up here?”
His mother looked at him before she hummed
“You were doing a narcotics raid when a crate of opium fell on you and knocked you unconscious. You been in the hospital for a while”
Wang Meng frowned
“Narcotics raid?”
His mother frowned
“Don’t you remember? You’re a police officer with the Narcotics Division”
Wang Meng’s eyes widened before he began to laugh, long and loud
Him? A cop? And one in the Narcotics Division no less? Oh…oh the universe had a very funny sense of humor (i.e. fucked up)
As he laughed, his mother looked at him as though he was crazy before she smiled and shook her head
“I’ll get the doctor. Hopefully you can be discharged soon”
She then released his hand and stood up, heading out of the room as he continued to laugh at the fucking irony that was now his life
A few days later, after he was released from the hospital, his mother told him that his cousins were coming to stay with them for a while, since their house wasn’t quite finished being renovated, and that he needed to pick them up from the train station
Wang Meng looked at her in surprise; he had cousins in this life? Really? Huh
But he agreed and headed to the train station, waiting on the platform for the passengers to depart, and as he scanned the passengers, his eyes widened in shock
Departing the train was fucking Chen Yuzhi and his little sister Keying
‘You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me’
He then walked over to them and cleared his throat
“Chen Yuzhi?”
Chen Yuzhi and Keying looked over at him before Keying giggled and let go of Chen Yuzhi’s hand, running over to him and throwing her arms around him in a hug
“Hi!”
Wang Meng looked down at her in surprise before he chuckled fondly and patted her head
“Hello Keying”
He then looked at Chen Yuzhi, who hummed
“So aunt sent you to pick us up?”
Wang Meng nodded, causing Chen Yuzhi to smile
“Always the filial son”
Wang Meng huffed
“Oh hush”
He then motioned with his head
“Come on, mother’s got food on the stove and she’s waiting for you”
Chen Yuzhi nodded as Wang Meng took Keying’s hand and they began walking, Wang Meng glancing over at Chen Yuzhi every now and then
He honestly couldn’t believe that Chen Yuzhi was his cousin in this life
The universe sure had a funny sense of humor
Well…he had wished for them to be like brothers in the next life so…he would take it
“Are you still a doctor?”
Chen Yuzhi looked over at him and smiled
“Of course. How could you forget what your own cousin does for work?”
Wang Meng huffed
“Well excuse me, I don’t see you very often, so I don’t know if you’ve changed jobs or whatever”
Chen Yuzhi laughed before he hummed
“What else can I do? Being a doctor is my calling”
Wang Meng hummed as Chen Yuzhi looked at him
“I heard you just got out of the hospital. Are you okay?”
Wang Meng nodded
“I’m fine”
He was pretty sure Chen Yuzhi had no idea of their past life and that he literally died in his arms but that was okay…he didn’t want him to know that anyways
Chen Yuzhi then huffed
“You should be more careful”
Wang Meng chuckled; there was the Chen Yuzhi he knew
“I will, I will. Now come on, the foods gonna get cold”
The next day, Wang Meng heads back to work, many of the officers coming to greet him
“Meng-ge! You’re back”
Wang Meng hummed
“What’d I miss?”
One of the officers hummed
“Um…not much. Chief Jiang is just finishing up the paperwork for the case”
Wang Meng paused
“Chief Jiang? Jiang Yuelou?”
The officers nodded
“Yeah. Your partner”
Wang Meng froze before he shut his eyes and took a deep breath
“Are you fucking kidding me?”
Now the universe was just being a dick
How could it stick him with Jiang Yue-fucking-lou of all people?! Like, how dare it!
Just then, Jiang Yuelou came downstairs from his office and when he saw Wang Meng, he walked over to him and hummed
“You’re back?”
Wang Meng narrowed his eyes at him before he huffed
“Obviously”
Jiang Yuelou nodded
“Good. Now come on, we’ve got another case”
He then walked past him, all of the officers looking at him with wide eyes
“But Chief Jiang, he literally just got here! Shouldn’t he be on desk duty or something?!”
Jiang Yuelou paused before he looked back at them
“If he wants to go on desk duty, he’s more than welcome to…in a different unit”
He then turned and continued walking out of the department, Wang Meng and the police officers staring after him before Wang Meng huffed
“Still an ass, even in this life”
He then looked at the police officers and smiled
“If you’ll excuse me”
He then pushed past them and rushed after Jiang Yuelou, soon catching up to his “partner”
They continued to walk side by side in silence before Jiang Yuelou looked over at him
“How are you feeling?”
Wang Meng looked back at him in surprise before he nodded
“Fine”
Jiang Yuelou nodded
“Good”
Just then, a cry rang out, making them look up in surprise before they looked at each other and nodded
They then took off running and soon came upon Chen Yuzhi fighting against three men who were trying to take Keying away from him, causing Wang Meng’s eyes to widen
“Chen Yuzhi!”
At his name, Chen Yuzhi looked over and due to Wang Meng’s “distraction”, one of the men grabbed Keying and took off running, the other two following behind, causing Chen Yuzhi to turn and stare after them with wide eyes
“Keying!”
He then made to rush after them when Jiang Yuelou suddenly took off like a shot after them, causing Chen Yuzhi to stare in shock as Wang Meng ran over to him
“Yuzhi. Are you okay?”
Chen Yuzhi looked at him and nodded
“I’m fine”
Wang Meng nodded before he motioned to the clinic
“You can explain what happened inside”
Chen Yuzhi looked over at his clinic before he looked back at Wang Meng
“But Keying—”
Wang Meng shook his head
“Don’t worry. My partner’s got her. He’ll bring her pack safely”
Chen Yuzhi raised an eyebrow
“That man is your partner?”
Wang Meng nodded
“Mm. Now come on, let’s go inside and wait for them to come back”
Chen Yuzhi nodded before they headed inside, Chen Yuzhi sitting down on the edge of his desk as Wang Meng crossed his arms
“Who were those people?”
Chen Yuzhi shook his head
“I don’t know…they just came in and started eyeing Keying before one of them grabbed her. I tried to stop them but—”
Wang Meng shook his head
“Don’t worry. Like I said, Jiang Yuelou will get her back”
Meanwhile, Jiang Yuelou continued to chase after the kidnappers and Keying, soon tackling one of the men to the ground before quickly taking out the other one, leaving just the man holding Keying
As the man looked at his unconscious companions, Jiang Yuelou huffed and pulled out his badge, flashing it
“Police. Release the girl and I might just spare you”
The man looked at him with wide eyes before he pulled out a pocket-knife and flicked it open, pressing it to Keying’s neck
“And if I don’t?”
Jiang Yuelou sighed and placed his badge back before he cracked his neck
“Then I’m not going to be so nice”
He then rushed forward, so fast that the kidnapper didn’t even have time to blink, and grabbed the man’s wrist, yanking it away from Keying’s neck before he punched the man in the nose
He then released the man’s wrist and watched as he fell to the ground, unconscious, before he looked down at Keying, who looked traumatized
“Are you alright?”
Keying looked up at him and whimpered, causing him to sigh softly before he knelt down before her and smiled softly
“Hey, you’re okay. You’re okay. You’re safe now”
Keying looked at him before she surged forward and wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face in his shoulder as she let out a sob
Jiang Yuelou blinked before he gently wrapped his arms around her and pet her hair
“Oh, sweetheart. You’re okay. You’re okay, honey”
He continued to gently pet her hair before he pulled away and looked at her, gently wiping away her tears
“Come on. Let’s get you back to the others”
Keying nodded and took his hand as he pushed himself to his feet, both of them heading back to Chen Yuzhi’s clinic
Back in Chen Yuzhi’s clinic, Chen Yuzhi paced aimlessly, Wang Meng watching him with a small frown, just as Jiang Yuelou and Keying appeared and stepped into the clinic
“Gege!”
At her voice, Chen Yuzhi’s head shot up and when he saw her, he gasped
“Keying!”
He then rushed over to her and knelt before her, wrapping his arms around her as she buried her face in his shoulder
“Oh Keying”
He then looked up at Jiang Yuelou and smiled tearily
“Thank you”
Jiang Yuelou blinked, stunned by his smile, before he cleared his throat
“You’re welcome”
Chen Yuzhi smiled again before he gave Keying another squeeze and pulled away, looking at her
“Now, what do you say, Keying?”
Keying nodded and looked up at Jiang Yuelou, smiling
“Thank you!”
Jiang Yuelou chuckled softly
“You’re welcome”
He then looked at Wang Meng and motioned with his head
“Come on, we still gotta case”
Wang Meng nodded and walked over to him, both men heading out of the clinic
Chen Yuzhi and Keying watched them leave before Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened
“Ah! I didn’t get his name!”
As they walked away from the clinic, Jiang Yuelou looked over at Wang Meng
“You know him?”
Wang Meng hummed
“He’s my cousin”
Jiang Yuelou nodded slowly
“I see”
Wang Meng glanced over at him and narrowed his eyes
“I see the gears turning in your head, Jiang Yuelou. Don’t even think about it”
Jiang Yuelou looked at him in shock before he huffed
“I’m not doing anything and I’m not thinking about anything”
Wang Meng clicked his tongue
“Liar. I saw the way you looked at my cousin. Hell no”
Jiang Yuelou huffed
“I told you, I’m not going to do anything, you fucking weirdo. Now let’s go”
Later that evening, after they finished work for the day, as Jiang Yuelou was heading home, he was surprised to see Chen Yuzhi walking towards him, his kit in his hand
“Oh. Hello”
Jiang Yuelou smiled
“Wang Meng’s cousin, right?”
Chen Yuzhi smiled and dipped his head
“Yes”
He then held out his hand
“I never properly introduced myself. Dr. Chen Yuzhi”
Jiang Yuelou smiled and shook his hand
“Chief Jiang Yuelou”
Chen Yuzhi smiled and pulled his hand away as he cleared his throat
“I never uh, thanked you. For saving Keying”
Jiang Yuelou shrugged
“No problem. Happy to help”
He then looked at him
“Have you eaten yet?”
Chen Yuzhi blinked before he shook his head
“Oh, no. But um, I actually have to get home. Keying and Wang Meng are waiting for me”
Jiang Yuelou hummed
“Well then, let me escort you home. It’s late”
Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened before he smiled and dipped his head
“Thank you”
Jiang Yuelou then waited for him to lead the way before they began to head towards Wang Meng’s house, a comfortable silence between them
When they reached Wang Meng’s house, Chen Yuzhi stepped forward before he paused and looked over at Jiang Yuelou
“Thank you”
Jiang Yuelou smiled and nodded
“You’re welcome. Have a good night”
He then turned and began to walk away when Chen Yuzhi took a step towards him
“Jiang Yuelou”
Jiang Yuelou paused and turned, raising an eyebrow
“Hmm?”
Chen Yuzhi blushed slightly, rather grateful that it was dark enough that Jiang Yuelou couldn’t see it
“Um…instead of dinner…maybe we could do lunch tomorrow?”
Jiang Yuelou stared at him for a moment before he smirked
“Are you asking me out on a date, Dr. Chen?”
Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened before he blushed deeper
“You’re the one who asked me first!”
Jiang Yuelou laughed and he nodded
“You got me there. Sure, I can do lunch tomorrow. Shall I go and get you from your clinic or will you come to me?”
Chen Yuzhi blinked before he shrugged
“Whatever works for you”
Jiang Yuelou smiled
“Then I’ll pick you up. See you tomorrow, Dr. Chen”
He then turned and walked away, Chen Yuzhi watching him leave before he bit his lip and blushed slightly, a small smile on his face as he turned and walked over to the front door, heading inside
The next day, as Wang Meng and Jiang Yuelou were working on their paperwork, Wang Meng noticed that Jiang Yuelou was whistling, which he found odd
“You’re in a good mood today”
Jiang Yuelou glanced at him and smirked
“I am”
Wang Meng huffed
“Care to share with the class what’s got you in such a good mood?”
Jiang Yuelou smiled
“I have a date”
Wang Meng’s eyes widened
“You what?! What poor soul would give you the time of day?”
Jiang Yuelou chuckled
“Wouldn’t you like to know?”
Wang Meng narrowed his eyes
“You can’t just tell me?”
Jiang Yuelou shook his head
“Nope”
Wang Meng clicked his tongue
“Ass”
Jiang Yuelou chuckled and Wang Meng couldn’t help but smile; maybe having Jiang Yuelou as a partner wasn’t so bad
A little while later, around noon, Jiang Yuelou stood to his feet
“Alright, I’m gonna head out”
Wang Meng raised an eyebrow
“We gotta case?”
Jiang Yuelou shook his head
“Lunch date”
He then headed out of the office, Wang Meng watching him leave before he pushed himself to his feet and followed after him, both men heading downstairs and over to the door before he paused, his eyes widening in shock to see Jiang Yuelou walking over to Chen Yuzhi, who was waiting outside
“I thought I told you I was going to pick you”
Chen Yuzhi huffed
“I was in the area for a house call. I just figured it would be easier if I just waited for you here”
Jiang Yuelou hummed, just as Wang Meng stormed over to them
“This is your lunch date?!”
Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi looked at him with wide eyes before Jiang Yuelou huffed
“Nosy”
Wang Meng huffed
“So what if I am?”
He then looked at Chen Yuzhi
“Really? Him?”
Chen Yuzhi rolled his eyes
“It’s just lunch, Wang Meng”
Wang Meng hummed
“That’s what they all say”
He knew damn well that they would end up together, if his memory from the past before he died served him right
He then walked over to Jiang Yuelou and leaned down so that his mouth was by his ear
“If you break my cousin’s heart, I’ll break every bone in your body and then bury it where no one can ever find it”
Jiang Yuelou looked at him before he laughed
“Quite the threat”
Wang Meng narrowed his eyes
“It’s a serious one”
Jiang Yuelou nodded
“Alright, alright, I won’t do anything. Like he said, it’s just lunch”
Wang Meng hummed and crossed his arms before he waved them away
“Go on”
Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi nodded before they turned and walked away from the police station, Wang Meng watching as they began to animatedly talk with each other, Chen Yuzhi throwing his head back at one point as he let out a laugh, Jiang Yuelou grinning brightly at the sight
As he watched them, Wang Meng hummed softly; he really did mean what he said to Jiang Yuelou
If he hurt Chen Yuzhi in any way, then Wang Meng would hurt him in a way where no doctor, not even one as skilled as his cousin, could put him back together again
