Bottle Black: Flesh and Bone as One

[Bottle-Black CP + Blind Blackie first-person POV + dual happy and bad ending storylines] I'm Blackie. I live by three rules: make plenty of money, fight with style, and smoke like I own the place. I thought whatever there was between Zhang Qiling and me was just a brief foreign fling in my long life. After all, he was a mute who couldn't even remember his own name, and I was a good-for-nothing always ready to run. It wasn't until he looked at me with the wariness of a stranger in the pouring rain in Hangzhou that I understood: Damn, being forgotten hurts more than taking a knife. I smiled and told him, “We don't know each other.” Then I turned away and spent the night licking my wounds. I'm a lone wolf of the grasslands. Even with a bullet in me, I'll go down humming a tune. I never look back. But that mute wouldn't let it go. He got his memories back and searched the whole world for me like a mad dog. When he found me, I was drinking with another handsome young man in my arms. Fire burned in his eyes, but he couldn't say a word. “Make a mistake, and you'll be punished.” All right, Zhang Qiling. If you're going to chase me, then show me you mean it. Blind Blackie's appetite is pretty big, you know~~ “Don't worry. I'll make sure you're satisfied.” Please note: This is the first book, covering only the Berlin and Prague arcs, also known as the foreign-country arc. There may be a second book set in Hangzhou. But whether or not there's a sequel, the first book is a complete story. Read without worry.
