As the only member of the Special Operations Division, Xiaotao's favorite thing was getting off work early, slipping into a newly opened dessert shop nearby to eat his fill, then borrowing the memories of the little cakes to learn how they were made.
After all, love and good food are the only things in life worth treasuring!
If he could, he would want his ability to be useful only for things like that. Unfortunately, life never runs short of unpleasant things that you have to do whether you like them or not.
For the poor souls who had tragically perished, and to repay the police station for protecting him, Xiaotao always held fast to his duty, even when alone: taste everything the dead witnessed in their final moments, and help bring justice to them as quickly as possible.
After yet another group of colleagues assigned to protect him on the move was replaced, the somewhat lonely Xiaotao met Du Panshan, who was just as lonely. Tormented by PTSD, the man was despondent and withdrawn. Though he had little hope left for life, he stubbornly insisted on uncovering the truth behind the accident that had ruined it.
As long as he was still strong inside, that meant he had limitless potential. With a little training, he could become a formidable bodyguard by Xiaotao's side, couldn't he?
So Xiaotao held out his hand and invited him to join the Special Operations Division.
I can share your ideals and the risks that come with them, and help you emerge from your pain. In return, no matter how dangerous things get, will you step in front of me without a second thought?
A PTSD-ridden, disillusioned police detective gong x a cheerful, universally adored esper shou. They save each other.
The gong is pure; the shou's purity is up to readers' interpretation. An average-looking gong and a beautiful, adorable, slender shou.
This is an attempt at getting my novel signed. Crime investigation isn't a genre I'm good at, and aside from the shou, I didn't write everything else entirely according to my preferences. Writing it was really hard for me ( )
Theme: Give someone a rose, and its fragrance will linger on your hand.
