    [A proud, protective, and loyal wolf-dog × A cold, aloof, and sickly beauty; strong and mutually doting, a broken mirror mended] Five years ago, Yan Guici, the most renowned genius scholar at C University, left without a word. Five years later, he returns as a top-tier specially appointed consultant, still aloof and aloof, his intelligence still overwhelming everyone, but he's unfortunately afflicted with a "sickly beauty" constitution, prone to fainting from a gust of wind and suffering from stomach aches at any moment. And coincidentally, his partner is none other than his old acquaintance whom he cruelly abandoned years ago—now the decisive and hot-tempered captain, He Wenxiao. Upon their first meeting, Captain He is sarcastic and cynical, but Yan Guici ignores him completely. Everyone in the department assumes these two are irreconcilable enemies. Until one day, after working overtime—everyone witnessed the usually volatile Captain He, who had vowed to be "business as it is," wrap a heavy coat around Consultant Yan's thin shoulders with a dark expression, holding a cup of freshly made warm honey water, and coaxing him in a low voice, "Darling, can you take your stomach medicine before looking at the documents?" What was supposed to be a misunderstanding turned into intimate care. What was supposed to be impartial turned into endless favoritism and protection. Yan Guici thought he would have to navigate the mysteries alone, but he never expected that the seemingly wild and untamed man had actually been waiting for him for five years, barging back into his world without explanation, facing all the storms together. This was a long-awaited reunion of equals, and a warm and healing display of absolute favoritism. No matter how many times it's been, as long as it's you, my heart will flutter again.

    All the crime-solving novels with two male leads that I've read are here: 👉 The fourth one is an ancient Chinese romance with two male leads. The protagonist 0 is very strong, intelligent, and pretends to be weak, while the protagonist 1 is a character who grows and develops. It has a martial arts world, and the description of a dashing young man is very good. 😚😚😚 👉 The eighth and ninth books are by the same author, two parts of a trilogy. The cases are quite mind-bending, with many twists and turns. Both protagonists are strong, and the two books have similar settings. The romance is well-developed. 😜😜😜 👉 The eleventh book is short, with complete cases and less romance. It focuses on the main plot. 😍😍😍 👉 The second to last book is "The Informant" and "The Police." Both protagonists are strong and intelligent. The cases develop from branches to the main story. It's slightly scary to read at night, and it gets better as it goes on. 😋😋😋
