A Cage Drawn by a Finger

Shen Zhengning was in the habit of leaving home at 7:40.

But one day, he started leaving five minutes earlier every day, just so he could “accidentally” run into his unrequited love on the roadside.

Zhuang Mingqi is handsome, cold, suffers from stomach problems, hates being touched by other people, and has only recently returned to the country.

After their third chance encounter, he sneered inwardly: You look so pathetic, trying so hard to get close to me.

Shen Zhengning went out of his way to approach him and won his heart, only to abandon him without a second thought once he was deeply invested. (According to Zhuang himself.)

Zhuang Mingqi: So I was in love with the wrong person from the very beginning!

Shen Zhengning hugged his dog tightly. “Does your unrequited love have to be a person?”

An accident forced Shen Zhengning’s life to switch from an easygoing daily routine to a Higashino Keigo novel at the touch of a button.

At first, he said, “There are no Sherlock Holmeses in real life. If detectives were useful, what would we need the police for?”

Later, he was the one who said, “If the truth can bring justice, then this time, I’ll be Sherlock Holmes.”

Zhuang Mingqi × Shen Zhengning, older gong, happy ending.
