Chapter Text
It’s been three months since Chen Yu and his partner Wu Zhen Feng made the move to homicide. After going through the required seminar’s, they were given a cold case to use as practice. It was purely meant to get them accustomed to the way things work and into their routine. Of course, everyone was surprised when they actually solved the case. Then they were put on a case beneath another detective, Detective Xi. That case is still ongoing. They’ve closed three other murder cases since being set loose on their own.
Right now Chen Yu and his husband of four months Gu Wei, are getting ready to head to their bi-weekly family dinner at Uncle Feng’s manor. Chen Yu grins over his shoulder, hearing a soft groan from his husband, as he pulls on a pair of tight black jeans.
“Ugh, are you teasing me on purpose lao gong?” Gu Wei pouts, stepping up to slide is hands over Chen Yu’s ass. “Mmm, we’ve been working opposite schedules the past few days and… I’m pent up.”
“Mmm, me too baobei.” Chen Yu turns in his arms, his bare chest causing another groan from Gu Wei. He leans in to whisper softly. “After the family dinner, you’ll need to decide.” He kisses his husband and watches him pout again. “Decide if you want be dessert or have dessert.” He swats Gu Wei on the ass as he exits the closet, tossing on a red button down shirt.
“Shit. How am I suppose to make it through this dinner now?” Gu Wei whines, grinning at the way those jeans fit his husband. “Mmm, I definitely want to have a serving of dessert later.” He chuckles, shaking his head and following his husband.
“I’ll gladly be your dessert baobei.” Chen Yu says, grinning at Gu Wei as he finishes buttoning his shirt. He runs a hand through his much longer hair, wondering if he should get a trim. He unconsciously licks his full lips and hears another groan.
“Ugh, Yu’er!” Gu Wei throws his hands in the air exasperated, then tries to readjust himself. “Shit. Hurry up. Let’s get this dinner over with, I’ve got a real bad sweet tooth right now.”
“Yes baobei. Let’s go.” Chen Yu says, reaching out for Gu Wei’s hand.

Xiao Lin has to get Wu Zhen Feng to help her up from the sofa. She waddles over to hug Chen Yu and Gu Wei as they enter the living room. She’s eight months pregnant with her first child, a little girl that will be named Daiyu.
“A’Yu, A’Wei! I’ve missed you my didi’s. You’ve all been working so much lately.” Xiao Lin pouts, glancing at her husband. “I need some time with my didi’s. Uncle Feng is changing Soo-Yung, come sit with me.” She smiles, Wu Zhen Feng gently helping her lower back onto the sofa. “How are two doing these days?”
“Good jiejie, but I’ve been missing my time with him lately too.” Gu Wei pouts, leaning into Chen Yu’s arm.
“I’m sorry baby.” Chen Yu says, kissing his cheek and whispering in his ear. “I’ll do my best to make it up to you this weekend baobei.”
“Ah, there are my nephews!” Uncle Feng says, grinning broadly as he enters the room, Soo-Yung on his hip. “Oh, Zimo will be late. He’s actually helping Geng Ye with a few Triad issues on her end.” He scratches his head. “He had wanted to stay out of it, but she’s family. From what I understand, they’re working on legitimizing a large portion of Uncle Benny’s former empire. It’s good that he helps.” He smiles sadly.
“Helping with that, will help ease his guilt too.” Chen Yu says, taking Gu Wei’s hand. “He’s been working hard lately to put the past behind him, but don’t let him work himself into the ground. Wei’s okay. He wouldn’t want to lose his ge to the guilt.”
Uncle Feng smiles nodding, so thankful his nephew has such a loving and kind spouse. He lays Soo-Yung on her tummy and sits down beside her. They all begin chatting comfortably and suddenly he looks down beside him to see his baby girl is gone. His eyes widen and he hears Chen Yu chuckle softly. Glancing over, Uncle Feng sees Soo-Yung scooting backwards, toward Chen Yu’s feet.
“Looks like it’s time to break out that baby proofing kit I bought you Uncle. Princess is mobile now, sorta.” Chen Yu grins, reaching down to pick up the cooing baby. “Did you miss your cousins Princess?” He asks, holding her on his side between him and Gu Wei.
“Hmm, has she been fussier than usual lately?” Gu Wei asks, grinning at the baby and wiping drool from her chin.
“Actually, the past couple of days, yes.” Uncle Feng suddenly sits up straighter, watching his nephew closely. “Is she okay A’Wei?”
“Of course she is!” Chen Yu grins at the baby. “She just teething. That infant medicine kit we gave you, has Oragel for her age range. Baobei, isn’t there something for the rash too? Looks like all the drooling is causing a rash on her chin.” He pouts, kissing the baby’s cheek and making her giggling as he blows a raspberry.
“Of course lao gong.” Gu Wei smiles, watching his husband with their baby cousin. “I’ll check that kit later and make sure the ointment is safe. We need to be careful because it’s near her mouth.”
“Teething already? Wow, she seems happy now though.” Uncle Feng says, relieved to see how much love his daughter receives. To think, he once worried about his nephew being able to accept her. He knows Chen Yu has played a major role on the baby being so seamlessly integrated into the family. “Thank you.” He whispers smiling.
Nanny and a shyly smiling Mae-Ling enter the room to announce dinner is ready. Mae-Ling blushes when Chen Yu gives her a squeeze.
“Meimei, how are you and Hong doing lately? He treating you well?” Chen Yu asks, winking at Gu Wei as the young woman giggles.
“We’re doing great!” Mae-Ling blushes further, smiling. “He asked me… to move in with him gege.”
“A wise man. It’s good to not let you get away from him.” Chen Yu says, taking Gu Wei’s hand and heading toward the dining room with the others. His arm is around Mae-Ling’s shoulders and he can’t help but snort in laughter at the pout on Hong’s face as they enter the dining room. “It’s important for a man to let his lover know, he can’t be without them.” He releases Mae-Ling, hearing her giggle and kisses Gu Wei as he blushes. “Nanny.” He says low to the older woman. “You look tired. Should Wei and I stay the night? We can take the night shift with Princess.”
“A’Yu, we’re fine.” Nanny smiles, patting his cheek. “Thank you though. I think your husband would have a fit if we interfered with your entire evening.” She winks, watching Chen Yu pullout a chair for Gu Wei. “I know you two haven’t had much time together lately.”
“Well, tonight should be a bit easier for the three of you.” Gu Wei says, Chen Yu taking his seat beside him. He takes Chen Yu’s hand into his beneath the table and links their fingers together. He knows his husband wants their time alone just as much as he does, but he’s proud he offered to stay and help. “Just give her Tylenol about twenty minutes before bed and put a bit of the Oragel on her gums at bedtime. That should give you all a good nights sleep.” He smiles, feeling Chen Yu’s hand tighten around his.
* * *
They had a nice evening, but Chen Yu and Gu Wei left first tonight. Chen Yu has a feeling Gu Wei is serious about missing their alone time and being pent up. Almost as soon as the truck leaves the gates of the manor, Gu Wei leans over the center console. He nibbles Chen Yu’s ear and strokes him through his jeans. He grins, hearing his husband’s groans turn to moans.
“Lao gong, behave. We’ll be home in under thirty minutes. Mmm, Wei!” Chen Yu gasps, Gu Wei unfastening his jeans and bending down. “Baobei, you’re going to cause an accident. Oh shit!” He bites his lip, Gu Wei’s tongue licking his shaft.
“Then you should focus on getting us home, fast. I’m just sampling my dessert lao gong.” Gu Wei grins up at him, before taking him fully into his mouth.
“Mmm, Wei, baobei. Shit! You’re not playing fair.” Chen Yu tries to focus on the road ahead, but breathes a sigh of relief after several minutes, as they pull up at a red light. His head flops back and he moans, letting himself finally feel the pleasure his husband is giving him. “Yeah Wei. God that feels so good baobei. Mmm, I’m getting close. Ugh, fucking green light.” He mumbles, hitting the gas a little to hard. He uses his hand to cushion Gu Wei’s head, keeping it from bouncing off the steering wheel. “You okay baobei?”
“Mmhmm.” Gu Wei grins up at him, hearing his moan and feeling his release coating his throat. “Mm, sweeter than I remember.” He says, kissing Chen Yu’s cheek and refastening his jeans. “Ahhh, good. Almost home already. I can’t wait much longer Yu’er.”
After parking the truck and killing the engine, Chen Yu reaches over and pulls Gu Wei to him. The kiss is messy and passionate and Gu Wei growls softly. He pulls away and exits the truck, raising his brows at Chen Yu.
“I’m coming baobei. I can’t wait either.” Chen Yu smirks, hopping out of the truck and hurrying around to take his hand. “You better get me upstairs quickly.” He whispers, stroking a hand over the bulge of Gu Wei’s slacks.
“Mmm, you’re driving me crazy Yu’er.” Gu Wei chides, leaning close. “I can’t wait to be inside you.”
“Hello Doctor Gu. Hello Yu. Have a nice dinner with the family tonight?” Mr. Su asks, holding the door for them and blushing. The older doorman still isn’t quite accustomed to their open displays of affection.
“Yes, thank you San. How’s that grandson of yours doing?” Chen Yu asks, being dragged toward the elevator by his husband.
“Took his first steps! Have a great night boys.” Mr. Su calls laughing.
“Wow, you really can’t wait, huh?” Chen Yu chuckles, Gu Wei pressing against him and fondling his ass. “Mmm, almost home. You’re dessert has been waiting all night for you.” He bites Gu Wei’s ear, leaning close. “Take your time and savor it Wei.” The elevator doors open and he’s yanked out, grinning.
“Trust me, I’ll savor every bit of it. All night long.” Gu Wei says, unlocking their apartment and shoving him inside. He slams the door shut and turns the lock, reaching up to remove his jacket and licking his lips.
“Mmm, I love that look in your eyes lao gong. Just remember, you haven’t been inside me in over a week. Loosen me up first, I have to work tomorrow.” Chen says grinning and removing his jacket and shirt.
Gu Wei loves the way he looks. His broad chest and taut abs, the tattoos on his bicep and across his groin area. He’s let his hair grow out, it’s nearly touching his shoulders now. His Yu’er is so masculine, but so beautiful. He tosses his own shirt aside and opens his slacks, approaching Chen Yu. He begins backing him toward their bedroom, as he opens his jeans and reaches inside to stroke his shaft. As they enter their room, he yanks his own slacks and briefs off and sits on the edge of the bed. He pulls Chen Yu close, lowering his jeans and boxers and letting them pool at his ankles.
“Don’t worry Yu’er, I’ll loosen you up good.” Gu Wei grins, then turns him around.
Gu Wei spreads Chen Yu’s ass cheeks and licks his entrance, loving how he juts his ass backwards. Gu Wei’s tongue slides inside him and he feels Chen Yu’s legs shaking. He wraps an arm around his waist, helping to support him. His tongue thrusts in and out, tasting his husband’s growing arousal. He slides two fingers inside Chen Yu and continues licking and sucking his entrance. He grows painfully hard, as Chen Yu arches his back and cries out. He pulls him down onto his lap and kisses his neck and grins at their reflection in the large mirror across from the bed.
“Mmm, tonight… I’m going to watch how my dessert swallows me instead of the other way around.” Gu Wei whispers into his ear, guiding Chen Yu’s entrance to his shaft. He spreads Chen Yu’s legs wide and he can see his own hardened shaft pressing against his husband’s entrance. “Look how you gobble me up Yu’er.” He breathes, thrusting inside on a moan.
“Ohhh, Wei. You feel, so good lao gong!” Chen Yu reaches his right arm back and pulls Gu Wei close for a kiss, trying to keep from watching the erotic display. But he feels Gu Wei’s hands spreading his thighs wide as he tries to close them. He chuckles softly. “Are you making love to me or making a wish Wei?”
“Both? I’m making love to you and wishing we could stay like this all night.” He nuzzles Chen Yu’s neck and thrusts harder. “But I’m already on the edge. Look how sexy my husband is!” He groans and smiles at the mirror, watching Chen Yu blush and try to avoid looking at himself. “Feeling shy Yu’er? Don’t you see what I see?” He asks, taking a soft bite of Chen Yu’s ear. “You’re so beautiful baobei.” He begins thrusting hard and deep.
“Ahh, ah Wei!” Chen Yu still gets shy when his stunningly beautiful husband tells him he’s beautiful too. He’s known most people think he’s attractive, but Gu Wei is the only one that’s ever told him he’s beautiful… and absolutely meant it. Until Wei, he’d never even dreamed of giving himself to another man like this. Now, he realizes, it really doesn’t matter to him who holds who. He just longs for this connection to the man he loves, any way he can get it. He feels his sweet spot repeatedly rubbed and it’s driving him insane. “Fuuuuck! So deep Wei, harder! Lao gong, touch me, please.” He whimpers, rolling his hips.
“So sexy. Do that again baobei.” Gu Wei grins, licking his lips and stroking Chen Yu’s shaft. He tosses his head back, as Chen Yu rolls his hips again moaning. “Ohh, Yu’er, you’ve got me right on the edge baobei.” He bites his lip, moaning loudly. “I want to… I’m about to…”
“Me to. Let’s cum together. Harder!” Chen Yu cries out, rolling and grinding his hips. “Yeah, right there! Ohhh Wei!” His body bucks and his inner walls tighten and twitch, as his head falls back onto Gu Wei’s shoulder.
“Ugh!” Gu Wei joins him, with a final violent thrust. He leans his chin on Chen Yu’s shoulder, holding him tight and trying to catch his breath. “You okay baobei?” He asks, listening to Chen Yu’s ragged breathing.
“Wei, I’m fine lao gong.” He turns his head to kiss him on the cheek. “You don’t need to worry every time you take me.”
“But… until a few months ago… you’d never been a bottom. I know I’ve been rough with you a few times.” Gu Wei pouts, remembering losing control and how Chen Yu only held him tighter. He’s never denied him anything and he always gives in without question. “It hasn’t really been that long since we started… switching. I don’t know if I’m… good at being a top.” He pouts again, as Chen Yu rises. But he quickly turns to him smiling and shaking his head. He straddles Gu Wei, locking his arms around his neck and kissing him so tenderly. “Mmm, Yu’er?”
“Stop being so insecure. It doesn’t suit you lao gong.” Chen Yu grins, lowering himself back onto Gu Wei’s semi-hardened shaft. “I love being with you, any and every way we can be together.” He licks his lips, gently thrusting his hips. “We’ve been married nearly four months now. Don’t you know yet… ahhh! Don’t you know, how much I love you? Mmm, yeah.” He pushes Gu Wei back and grins down at him, pinching his nipples as he uses his chest to balance himself.
“Shit! Mm, Yu’er… ohh yeah!” Gu Wei bites his lip, watching Chen Yu smiling down at him as he gently rides him. “I know you love me baobei. I love you too, so much.” He says, reaching a hand up to caress his husband’s cheek. “But… love and sex. They don’t mean the same thing baobei. If you’re not enjoying…” He’s cutoff, Chen Yu’s mouth on his.
“Seriously, stop it.” Chen Yu warns, biting Gu Wei’s lip. “I’m absolutely enjoying having all kinds of sex with my husband. Lao gong, I’ve told you before. It doesn’t matter to me who takes what position, as long as we’re both satisfied.” He bounces and rolls his hips, moaning loudly with a grin. “And I’m always satisfied baobei. Besides, have you forgotten?” He raises his brows and thrusts faster. “Having you inside me, was my idea to begin with, my fantasy. Oh, shit yeah!” He cries out, Gu Wei grabbing his hips and thrusting up into him smiling.
“I remember. I was so shocked and a little bit afraid of disappointing you.” Gu Wei admits, biting his lip as Chen Yu bounces and rocks atop him. A recent fanfic he read online pops into his head The Last Lycan Omega and he fantasizes about getting his husband pregnant momentarily. Chen Yu begins to thrust and bounce harder, calling Gu Wei’s name and he’s pulled out of that fantasy and into this sensual reality. “Yu’er, baobei slow down. I want to stay bound to you like this.”
“Wei.” Chen Yu grins down at him, leaning in for a passionate kiss. “You can’t escape being bound to me, I won’t allow it.” He grabs Gu Wei’s left hand and runs his finger over the band there. “You’re mine now, forever, remember? Mmmm, ahhh don’t stop! Wei, you feel so damn good inside me. Stop being insecure baobei and let my body tell you how much I enjoy this. Yes!”
Gu Wei watches his husband’s head snap back and his spine arch, as his hips move harder and faster. Chen Yu pauses, moving from kneeling over him to placing his legs over Gu Wei’s shoulders. Now, Gu Wei is balls deep inside him. He wonders if he’s ever been this deep inside his husband, it feels amazing. His hands slide down to Chen Yu’s upper thighs and tighten there, as he turns his head to kiss his pale calf. He realizes, Chen Yu has always told him in words and actions that he’s his world. Gu Wei smiles up at the man he knows he can’t live without and presses down on his thighs.
“Yu’er, I love you.” Gu Wei says, kissing his calf again. “Hurry lao gong, I’m getting close. Mmmm, I love being… so deep inside you. Yu’er, Yu’er!” Gu Wei convulses with the force of his orgasm and grins up at Chen Yu, still riding him and whimpering. He feels his own body bouncing beneath his husband’s and he reaches up to catch him, as Chen Yu’s second orgasm nearly causes him to faint. “That was incredible.”
“Wei, baobei, I love you too.” Chen Yu says, snuggling into Gu Wei’s arms. He’s to tired to even roll them over and hold his husband like usual.
“I love you so much, get some sleep baobei.” Gu Wei kisses his forehead and knows he’s already dozing off. He smiles and wraps his arms around him tighter. “Now, I’m the one holding the world.”
* * *
Chen Yu wakes up at dawn, grinning as he realizes he’s laying atop his husband. He smiles up at Gu Wei’s angelic sleeping face and rises mischievously. He feels Gu Wei’s semi-hard shaft still inside him and he begins to rock his hips slowly. He feels Gu Wei swell to life inside him, but sees him only furrow his brows. Chen Yu bites his lip, letting his head fall back as he thrusts gently. He gasps, Gu Wei’s hands suddenly latching onto his hips tightly.
“Being naughty so early in the morning lao gong?” Gu Wei asks, licking his lips as Chen Yu rakes a hand through his loose hair. “So gorgeous.” He mumbles.
“What, you don’t like my naughty side baobei?” Chen Yu teases, leaning forward to kiss him. His hair falls like a curtain around their faces and he sits back up grabbing a hair band from his wrist. He chuckles, Gu Wei grabbing his wrist and shaking his head. “It doesn’t bother you or get in the way?”
“It looks so sexy on you baobei. I’ve never before been attracted to men with long hair, but you definitely make it hard for me to take my eyes off of you.” Gu Wei releases his wrist and watches him grin, lowering his hands and letting his hair down again. “Besides, when you lean forward to kiss me like… it’s like a privacy curtain that blocks out the world. Leaving only the two of us and that’s so romantic.”
“God! I love you so much.” Chen Yu smiles a full beautiful smile and sets a faster pace.
“Mmm, I love you more.” Gu Wei says smiling back at him and digging his fingers into Chen Yu’s hips.
“But I’ve loved you longer, remember? Ahhh, yeah! Oh Wei, did you… just get even harder baobei?” Chen Yu grins down at him, biting his lip. “Wei, mmm, Wei cum for me baobei. I’m about to… ahhh. It’s so good I’m going to lose my mind!” He falls forward, bracing himself on Gu Wei’s chest and riding him hard and fast. “Yes, Wei. Ohhh Wei!” He feels Gu Wei’s release just seconds before his own coats their stomachs. “Mmmm. Good morning, by the way.”
“Morning gorgeous. Yu’er, you should probably… let me pull out. I’m sure you’ll be sore and maybe swollen baobei. You okay, honestly?” Gu Wei asks, stroking a hand through Chen Yu’s hair.
“Mmhmm, I’m fine lao gong.” Chen Yu rolls off of him, pouting at the ceiling. “But you’re right, I feel a little… sore.” He rolls onto his side and drapes his arm over Gu Wei’s chest. “I guess that just means… the next ride is on me, literally.” He chuckles and kisses Gu Wei’s blushing cheek. “Let’s grab a shower and I’ll make breakfast.” His cell phone rings and he recognizes the ring tone as being Detective Xi’s. “Ugh, hold that thought.” He answers the phone sitting up immediately. “Are you sure? Okay send me the location, I’ll be there as soon as I can. Can call Wu too? Thanks, I’ll be there soon.” He hangs up raking a hand through his hair and looking sadly at his husband.
“It’s bad huh?” Gu Wei asks, sitting up to rub his back.
“Remember our first case with Xi?” He asks sighing.
“Vaguely. You didn’t really talk about it much, but it’s the only case you haven’t solved.” Gu Wei pales. “Wait. Another victim? Does that make him… a serial?” He swallows hard, remembering it was a violent case.
“I’m not sure yet. Xi says this current one is eerily similar.” Chen Yu pouts and kisses his cheek before rising from the bed. “I’m sorry lao gong, I need to wash up and get to the crime scene as soon as possible.” He pouts over his shoulder, grabbing clean underwear and heading for the bathroom.
“It’s alright Yu’er. I’ll go fix you a quick breakfast you can take with you.” Gu Wei smiles and rises, heading for the kitchen. He realizes that sending his husband to a murder scene to have his breakfast is rather… odd. “Let’s go meatless.” He mumbles, shuddering.
* * *
Chen Yu pulls up to a secluded park and sees Wu Zhen Feng pull in just behind him. They each exit their vehicle and they naturally fall in step with one another. He sees Xi wave, flagging them over to the side where crime scene tape is being stretched across trees.
“How similar are we talking?” Chen Yu asks, sliding beneath the tape and stepping over to Xi’s side.
“It’s creepy. Only difference appears to be the victim’s gender.” Detective Xi says, leading them down a slight slope.
Chen Yu sees the naked body of a young man. It’s bruised and bloodied and bound intricately with a red cord. He kneels beside the body, looking it over carefully. He hears a familiar voice behind him and knows the body is about to be moved. He turns to see the medical examiner, Dr. Lin shaking his head at the scene.
“Looks like the same type of torture.” Chen Yu says, pointing to a couple of cuts on the chest. “I think he even used the same blade. I know the first victim wasn’t sexually assaulted, but I still need you to check this guy.” He rises, shoving his hands into his pockets and thinking. “Although he doesn’t have sex with them, it’s still a sexually motivated murder.” He sees Lin nod in agreement. “That being said, if he’s okay with a woman or a man… we’re looking for a bisexual male. Judging from the ages of these two victims, both apparently in their early twenties?” He looks to Lin for confirmation and sighs at the nod he gets. “I’d say he’s likely between the ages of twenty and thirty. He’s patient and thorough, ruling out some dim witted remedial vocation.” He looks at Xi, who is grinning at him from nearby. “Do we have anything on the Vic yet? Last time the purse and wallet were left nearby.”
“We’ve got his wallet.” Xi says, opening a small notepad to read from it. “Chan Zu. Age twenty two. A student of the local university.” He looks at Chen Yu and frowns. “You want me to handle the notification?”
“We’ll split it.” Chen Yu says, patting the older Detectives shoulder. “He lived in the dorm?” He sees a nod and sighs. “Okay. One of us will notify the next of kin and the other can talk to his roommate. So… rock, paper, scissors?” He asks, a dry chuckle escaping his throat.
* * *
Chen Yu and Wu Zhen Feng are standing in a college dorm room. The young man that shares the room with Chan has just fallen into his desk chair. His face is pale and his eyes are unfocused.
“I can’t believe it. I just saw him yesterday. Are you sure it’s Zu?” The young man asks, tears in his eyes.
“I’m sorry for your loss.” Chen Yu says, kneeling down to look the young man in the eyes. “Is it normal for him not to return to the dorm at night?”
“Uhm.” He looks nervously from Chen Yu to Wu Zhen Feng. “I’m not sure it’s my place to say, but he is… was, promiscuous. Uhm, I think their were several clubs he hit looking for his hookups. Zu, he’s gay.” The young man bites his lip, trying to see if these detectives are going to judge his friend based on his sexual orientation.
“Would you happen to know which clubs?” Chen Yu asks, wondering if this might be a lead.
“Uhm, I’m not really sure.” He blushes, scrubbing a hand over his face. “I’m straight, but he did take me to one once. It was called… Adam’s Apple, but I know he had three or four he frequented. Maybe someone at that club could tell you more. He seemed like a regular, the bartender knew him by name.” He bursts into laughter that quickly turns to sobs of grief.
* * *
In his truck, Chen Yu turns to Wu Zhen Feng. He cocks his, asking a question without saying a word.
“Yeah. I caught it.” Wu Zhen Feng says, shaking his head. “Roommate says he’s straight, but he had a thing for the vic.”
“Yeah. Also, the first vic was last seen at a club too.” Chen Yu says, starting the engine and scratching his chin. He grabs a hair band and ties back most of his hair, sighing.
“Why not get a haircut kid? You look like a shaggy dog.” Wu Zhen Feng teases, grinning at him.
“Wei likes it, no actually… he really seems to love it.” Chen Yu smirks and blushes, pulling out of the university parking lot. “Hey, give Xi a heads up. Tell him to meet us at Adam’s Apple. They open early for the lunch crowd.” He grins at Wu Zhen Feng’s curious noise. “I’m gay ge, I know that club pretty well or I did before Wei came into my life. No, I did not do hookups. I just felt more comfortable having a drink there.” He sighs, remembering back to when he didn’t feel comfortable with his own sexuality.
“I didn’t say anything didi and I think I know you pretty well. One nightstands aren’t something you would do. You’re to… pure hearted for that.” He grins and winks at him as he sends Xi a text.
“Is that just a nice way of calling me old fashioned?” Chen Yu asks, smiling.
* * *
They wait in the parking lot for Xi to arrive before they head inside. Chen Yu notices several people milling around outside, apparently waiting for the place to open. I guess it’s never to early for some people to start drinking, he thinks shaking his head. He sees Xi pull up beside his truck and he grunts to Wu Zhen Feng, both hopping out of the truck. The three men slowly approach the entrance, seeing the doors open and the cluster of people head inside.
“Interesting name.” Xi mumbles as they step inside.
“It’s catchy and it lets us gays know we’re welcome here.” Chen Yu says, scanning the place and approaching the bar.
“Hmm, haven’t seen you here in ages Officer.” The bartender says grinning at Chen Yu.
“It’s Detective now, homicide.” Chen Yu lets that sink in and notices the bartender seems particularly interested in him today.
“I’m loving the new look… Detective.” The smile falls from his face as he looks at Wu Zhen Feng and Xi. “Wait, are you here in an official capacity?”
“Yes, unfortunately.” Chen Yu says sadly, raising his left hand and wiggling his fingers. “Also, I’m off the market now.” He grins at the wide eyed look he gets and he elbows Wu Zhen Feng.
“Do you recognize this man?” Wu Zhen Feng asks, showing the bartender a photo of Chan. “We hear he’s a regular.”
“Yeah, that’s Zu. Really popular kid. I haven’t seen him for about a week.” His head snaps to Chen Yu. “Homicide. Is Zu…”
“Yeah, I’m sorry.” Chen Yu says, patting the man’s shaking hand on the bar. “Can you tell us who he hung out with or where else he liked to go?”
