After a few hours
"Whiz, it’s been entire night, and the case is unsolved. I’m tired," Wang Shi heard Zz’s exhausted voice, a little deep but with a touch of softness and calm. Though he was not there, he could feel Zz had started to doze off. "I’ve an urgent work to do today, won’t be able to talk until lunch. If there’s any finding, drop a ssage at portal."
"En... I’ll keep Gu Feng stable, and will inform you as soon as the reports co out. Let’s-"
"Susu.... Help.... My body hurts," A man’s voice echoed from Zz’s side. With the low gruttal of his voice he seed to be in pain, but what triggered Wang Shi was the familiarity of his voice and the na ’Susu’.
Wang Shi’s brows knitted together, trying to recall where he had heard it before. Maybe it could help him reach this mysterious man Zz.
"Evan is a beast..... Check , give dicine.....I’m going to die...." Wang Shi heard the sa voice again; the more he heard the more it seed familiar. So people have a distinguished voice and Jas’s adenoidal voice belongs to that category.
"Wait for in your room, I’ll be there in a minute HEYYYY...." He heard a muffled voice of Zz, probably he covered the mic but soon a shrill ca that almost convinced Wang Shi to take off the Bluetooth device. If it was not for him looking for Zz’s identity he wouldn’t be so shaless to eves-drop on their conversation.
"No... You co with right now.... After sending to a beast’s den you trying to run away from responsibility. No! Never!" The voices beco clear again, ; Zz must have dropped the mic. He heard so shuffling sounds, foot-steps and Zz’s protesting, "No.... wait... let turn off the system.... I wa-" Everything cut off.
Wang Shi checked his phone, which displayed ’connection interrupted’
"Sir," Daiyu pushed opened the door in panic, "Connection interrupted but everything’s working fine at our end. Do you want to re-establish?"
"No... Zz ended it; he seems to be busy," Wang Shi takes off the Bluetooth device, "Any progress?"
Daiyu, "Not much. But surprisingly, Zz is not in Country T anymore, this ti he connected through Imperial city."
Wang Shi’s eyes narrowed as he rested his elbow at the table, supporting his face at clasped hands. "Hm....Keep looking."

At Jas’s apartnt
"Ahh... Jammie.... My devices...." Suyin looked at the equipnt hanging in the air, still attached to her laptop by the cord as Jas pressed the shutdown button before dragging her to his room.
"Treat first... everything hurts.... My thighs, calf, waist, back, bum and my d-"
"SHUT UP! TOO MUCH INFO!" Suyin covered Jas’s mouth before he could utter another word. This version of Jas’s was like a baby looking for a mother’s love and comfort, acting all pity and complaining. "Get into the blanket, I’ll get the dicines."
"What about these red spots on my body? It’s everywhere, even on my-"
"YOU BAKA! One more word and I’ll call Evan." Her threat worked like magic and Jas dived under the blanket, "IDIOT, I was on chat with Dr. Whiz and you not only disrupted but took my na. WHERE THE HELL IS THE FIRST-AID KIT? You never keep things organised!" She shouted upon not finding the first-aid kit in the side drawer.
*BANG*
Jas flinch hearing the noise of drawer shut. "I-it’s in the other drawer, you’re looking at the wrong place. And how would I know you were on a chat with Whiz.... Oww.w... my body.... you sent to that beastly Evan? Bad friend, bad..."
"Hmpf...Don’t argue,"
*BANG*
*BASH*
*THUMP*
*CRASH*
He heard few more noises....
"..."
"Spare my house,"
"Jammie... Dr. Whiz is Wang Shi, you know that right?" While looking at the dicines kept in the first-aid she walked and sat down on the bed beside him. Though the doctors working with her assud a nick na to protect their identity, she knows the details of everyone, unknown to them.
But Wang Shi was a special case. He was the first doctor with whom she started working as Zz when she took the initiative to send him an email regarding the information of an old case. From that day they are working together.... For the last four years... without seeing each other even once....
"I said, I’m sorry...He didn’t recognize you. Did he?"
"THANKGOD, you took my na as Susu... He doesn’t know Susu is Suyin’s nick na. Otherwise I would’ve castrated you right there."
"...." ’Was it a bad decision to co here?’
Jamie, who was dived under the blanket, gulped hard. He was sure Wang Shi knows about it, just doubtful if the later still rember it and would join the dots!? Hope he does!
Should he tell her about his short interaction with Wang Shi when she was drunk?
Without doing anything, he felt a pain travel in his little mber....
NO! Little Jamie down there warned him of the consequences!
’Yup... you’re right. For your sake, I’d not going to reveal anything,’
"Take these dicines and sleep. No need to follow to tomorrow’s press conference."
"En...."
He peeked out of the blanket to take the dicine. Her beautiful face ca in his view, bringing an inadvertent smile at the corner of his lips. When they t each other five years back, it was never this perfect.
Their eting was just a coincidence....
She had been seated at a bench at a crowded amusent park, her grey eyes hazy and lost as she watched the kids co with their parents.
For all the presence she brought she might as well had been a store mannequin if it was not a small smile that’d co whenever kids giggle as the ride goes up.
He used to co there looking for sothing to divert his mind from the shock he had received from the society and family for being different. His different sexual orientation had labeled him as a freak, which he was not.... that’s what he was trying to convince..... to himself and to everyone.
Don’t know why, but he’d been drawn to her and went out all the way to sit next to her. When he offered her a share of his sandwich, she looked at him once but turned away without a reply.
Weird! Right?
But her one gaze was worth thousand words. It was srizing, deep, yet painful.
It attracted him....
From that day, it beca his habit to sit at the bench with her, and bring along sothing different to eat, unknowingly igniting his passion to cooking.
He was hell-bent to get a response from her, and for that he tried different recipes to make her talk to him. It beca the best part of his routine.... to cook sothing for her though he knew what the end-result was.
But it was thrilling.... maybe she’d response one day.
