Suppose Zheng Yi’s personality and life experiences were closer to those of an ordinary person, rather than a protagonist in a Japanese anime. What path would Zheng Yi and Richard take as ordinary people?
Parallel world: Zheng Yi’s family background differs from the original. Zheng Yi never met Richard at Yoyogi Park. He is still a good person in the moral sense, but no longer has the universal sense of justice typical of Japanese anime protagonists, nor the bluntness and obliviousness that so often gave Richard a headache. He is more like an ordinary person. Zheng Yi and Richard will meet in a different way, and their ending will not follow the original.
This work is based on the original novels and manga. Readers need to have read either the original novels or manga to understand it.
When referring to the original Zheng Yi and Richard, I will use quotation marks around their names to distinguish them. Other characters will not be marked this way. This indicates that the two characters in the original and the ones in this work are separate individuals. Zheng Yi in this story will observe the experiences of the original “Zheng Yi” through his dreams, up to the end of Volume Six.
I would like to pay tribute to Tsujimura Nanako and her work The Case Files of Jeweler Richard. Thank you for bringing us such moving stories.

This book is complete. I’ll reply to reader comments as I feel like it.
Theme: Life is a dream.
Another unexpected thing is that the beginning of Extra Chapter 4 is Justice's farewell at Richard's funeral. I thought the next chapter would be from Richard's perspective in heaven (although the author had predicted that the last extra chapter would be from Richard's perspective). Without Jeffrey, Richard's boyhood would have been too gloomy (Richard's parents are always speechless whenever I see them). Looking at the happy time they created together, I feel very emotional that life must have setbacks and difficulties, but why did God arrange such a break to torture the two of them. (ToT) In this world, Jeffrey has formed a band. I wonder if Earl's blood pressure has embarked on the road of 'appreciation' since then; has the kitchen in the dormitory where Richard lives been... Put another way, has the school received any complaints from the cleaning staff about Richard? (^~^) It feels like Richard's father suddenly gave up his title, mostly because he lived too "arbitrarily" and was "forced into the palace" by the family collective. I want to see the live wedding of Richard and Zhengyi in [that church in the town] Seeing the rapid increase in bookings at the gem store, I don't know why I thought of hospital registration... Accepting the reservation because of a name that gave up the limited dessert, Richard must have thought hard and never imagined that what was waiting for him was a grander 'surprise' than driving a courier in high school; his beloved was a pure-blooded science student, Mu Mu was about to start a new and arduous road to love, although Zhengyi could not accompany Richard to experience the joy of getting drunk (Mr. Richard, alcohol is not good for health, in order to be with Zhengyi for a longer time, avoid alcohol), but the author has ever thought about what Zhengyi looks like when he is drunk?? Can you arrange it in the new book? (__-) I don't know what Zhengyi thinks after knowing Richard's evaluation of his only appointment email. Richard's reasoning is all right. If he thinks about this now, will he complain in his heart: No literary talent means no romantic element!! Last question, it was definitely Jeffrey who called Richard to wake up at the end of this article, but judging from the text, it was the first day of the second year of high school, and the school was in Switzerland. Did Jeffrey call Richard to wake up?? It should be a metaphor for Richard's nostalgia for the past, right? Finished the whole article, the author really worked hard! Just typing is a big project. Here's a shout out: Looking forward to the beginning of the new book!! To be honest, the ending of BE is more realistic: life is impermanent, and only in memories do you suddenly understand that from that moment on, it was goodbye. But we also reject the bitter fruits, and we will continue to work hard in the direction of light and happiness. This is also the inevitability of the ending of HE. Is the author's liver bad? If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in your body, don't hold it back! Go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. I am an example before you. I started experiencing abnormalities at least four years ago and did not go to the hospital until the end of 2024. I just had an operation in mid-January this year. Meeting you is a cosmic coincidence. This sentence is dedicated to Richard and justice, as well as to the author. I highly recommend the Weibo public account [MorningRocks]! This is where the 'cosmic coincidence' comes from~
Let me first guess the riddles left by the author ~ The second question seems to be told in a "self-talk" or "self-monologue" tone Question 1: What comes to my mind is [if I no longer think this is a bad idea] or [does marrying me have to be a bad idea]. The first answer came to mind in the context of "I can't confess my feelings to Zhengyi now, so I marry first and then fall in love"; the second answer should be more in line with Richard's character and has nothing to do with diamonds or other third-party factors. It just hopes to marry Zhengyi from the perspective of deciding his life partner. Sure enough, the more cherished someone is, the more cautious or even timid a person becomes, fearing that the other person will reject him even if he says the wrong thing. Question 2: What I think of is [Yes... Your nightmare is over] or [Then you walk out of my life]. The first thing I feel is that it is more likely to combine the context. At this time, Richard may not give himself hope in order to be more disappointed. Even though Zhengyi had a good impression of him, made pudding for him, and even said, "If you weren't there, I wouldn't have any reason to go again," but he was later disturbed by Jeffrey. If Richard had heard Zhengyi say before, "I can't help you if you think so," he still had the courage to ask Zhengyi to turn around and face him to verify the black-haired young man's true feelings for him. What the angry Zhengyi said would at least create deep cracks in Richard's desire for verification (so people really can't talk nonsense when they are angry) Richard's tears also surprised me. In addition to being treated maliciously because of justice, the tears also contained the frustrations and sorrows he encountered in his life that should not have been borne by him. From the moment Richard said he regretted letting Justice go to England and wanted to send him back to Japan, it showed that he had put justice first in his life and had never thought about solving the will issue. Alas, it's a pity that justice still hasn't discovered this... I hope that the two of them will get out of the gloom soon. Maybe I can also see the two of them happily buying clothes for each other...
Of course, abusing Justice is equivalent to indirectly abusing Richard. Who makes Richard have a good impression of Justice (no matter what the meaning of the good impression is). It is easier to abuse Justice alone and make Richard temporarily or simply lose his memory: he has no memory of Justice who ran to England. He is already preparing for the wedding of a highly skilled pastry chef whom he met two weeks ago and whom they fell in love with at first sight. By the way, the diamond problem was also solved. How is it~? Sunrise, dance parties and black tea are inevitable settings for a nobleman in the social world. I hope there will be someone who can accompany Richard every day to share the joys and sorrows of life. I don't worry about whether this person is righteous or not, as long as both of them have their own happiness.
Great, looking forward to the new article!
So both of them have insecurities, right? Richard thinks that his boyfriend's identity has not been disclosed to the people around him by Zhengyi, and Zhengyi feels that Richard doesn't love him that much and deserves someone better 🤔
No, don't cancel. My wife's writing is very good. There aren't many gem dealer fics in JJ. Please don't cancel, my wife. What will I do without you 😭
However, I think the two of them still need some time to advance the emotional line, because Justice's subconscious has already projected the image of Richard into the fantasy of his future partner, but he himself has not realized it yet.
It's so awkward, Mr. Justice.
Richard you can't! You should flick his lips with your tongue!
Justice: Is this an actor's self-cultivation? Richard: Is this the self-cultivation of an actor who is so happy when holding hands but still pretends that he is not very happy? (Readers really can't wait for Christmas Eve [Let Me Be Well])
