After I Was Forced to Team Up with a Big Shot

#That annoying smooth-talking schemer you run into while investigating a case #What do you do when your childhood sweetheart, the one you’ve cherished for years, shows up again? Award-winning private detective Su Hun, a gifted fire-aligned Celestial Punishment Master, has something to say As a child, he left home because his soul was incomplete. Fortunately, his master took him in. But then his soul became whole, his life grew longer, his talent soared, and the troubles that came with it multiplied, too. Luckily, he didn’t have many hobbies. He just liked solving cases and keeping little pets. That was until his agency took on a difficult case recently. In a corner where revelry went on all night, he got into a big fight with someone. When they met again, the other person had become his direct superior and was determined to be his assistant so they could investigate together. At a critical moment, the demon-subduing bell at his waist rang out with a deafening crash. Su Hun: ?! That annoying guy in front of him was actually the big brother with the bell he’d yearned for over a decade?! - Wen Yulin had cultivated the Dao through the occult and long ago stopped believing in good and evil. As the Chief Commissioner of the Administration Office and the highest-ranking official in Jin Hai, he was known as a smiling tiger. After all these years apart, his little childhood sweetheart was still the same as ever: reckless, innocent, and full of passion. His talent was undeniable. But he wanted to protect others. Who would protect him? Over the following months: deserted villages, ancient tombs, flower houses, orphanages, Penglai Island, Commissioner Wen held power over life and death, discerned yin and yang, dealt with all the injustices in the world, and protected those he wanted to protect. Though every now and then, he did have a small problem. For instance, right now, outside a cave. As the sky darkened, Wen Yulin suddenly felt a heavy slap on his shoulder. When he looked up, his little childhood sweetheart was frowning at him. “You’re so useless.” “You’ve been at this ages and still haven’t figured it out. I’ll do it!” His white shirt was oversized and rumpled, and he was covered in dust. In his arms was a nosy red squirrel that kept rubbing against his face. Wen Yulin: ... What was he supposed to do? The squirrel was so annoying. Su Hun was so tempting. He wanted to kiss him. #Thanks for asking, I want to focus on solving cases too #But my sweetheart keeps smiling at me so adorably #Covered in dust, like a kitten. #And why did he trick him into signing a marriage contract? #His childhood sweetheart says: My husband can only be mine, obviously.
