“Doctor, from the wounded victims in the multiple car accident just a moment ago, is there someone who was called Zhangda diao [1] … cough …. named Zhang Chenfei?”
Jiao Qi is currently sweating profusely as he ran without stopping earlier towards the center of the hospital. The suit coat in his hand has been crumpled but he was totally unaware of it.
“… in the emergency room. Are you a family member? Pay the deposit first.” The doctor on duty answered while turning over the record sheet.
“President Jiao!” Taking advantage of the person in the consultation desk who was snoring loudly, Secretary Yu Yuan called out to his president while gasping for his own breath. His plump body wiggles while running three steps after another to chase after Jiao Qi.
He originally followed the president to a dinner party, but he just shook hands with the client when they received a phone call from the hospital telling them that Jiao Qi’s legal husband, Zhang Chenfei, met a car accident.
He had followed Jiao Qi for three years, and this is the first time Yu Yuan saw him panicked as his face turned pale. Disregarding work, he grabbed his coat and left hurriedly.
He had no alternative but to apologize to the client. Carrying his weight of 180 pounds, he ran out as well to catch up with his boss. With a speed of 180 mph, he drove all the way to the hospital.
Jiao Qi threw a card to his secretary, turned around and walked to the emergency room.
Yu Yuan, with his small plump body, deeply gasped for breath before walking over to the doctor on duty and then smiled, revealing two deep small dimples: “Where can I make the payment?”
Upon entering the emergency room, Jiao Qi saw a dozen beds inside. Looking at those blue sheets made people dizzy. He sucked in a deep breath and tried to locate his family’s husband in the chaotic crowd.
Science and technology are continuously progressing and society is also developing. Nowadays, same-sex marriage is legal and he has been married to Zhang Chenfei for seven years. The past seven years had been calm and very sweet without great winds and high waves.
Jiao Qi would have never thought that the “car accident” would happen to his husband and will become the reason to make him “comply with his rules” every day.
A chain of car collision occurred on the viaduct that resulted to more than 20 casualties who were put together inside this emergency room.
“Ah–it hurts!”
“Quick! This one should be on surgery right away!”
“Doctor, you quickly save him, wu wu wuu…….”
With the rapid development of science and technology, people now use smart brain [2] instead of mobile phones. Smart brain consists of two parts. The first one is a microchip that is implanted into the brain and is connected to the neurons, and the other is a peripheral similar to a wrist watch.
When Zhang Chenfei heard this, he casually and swiftly removed the black gold strap on his wrist. His smart brain peripheral had already been wiped clean in the car accident. The display is now pitch-black and the electric power is nearly depleted.
“This…” The two traffic policemen turned anxious.
“It’s alright, I give my permission.” Jiao Qi exposed his own silver peripheral.
At this moment, the doctor came over to check Zhang Chenfei’s case. Jiao Qi immediately pulled the doctor away to get a clear explanation of Zhang Chenfei’s condition.

Notes:
[1] Zhang is the surname of our male lead here. ‘Da’ means ‘big’. ‘Diao’ is a colloquial term in Mandarin that means ‘cool/extraordinary’ or ‘cock/penis’. ‘Diao’ also means ‘to fuck’ in Cantonese. As we go along, ‘diao’ will be used differently (sometimes it refers to the Mandarin meaning and sometimes, its Cantonese meaning) but Jiao Qi’s form of address to Zhang Chenfei which is Zhangda diao literally means ‘Zhang big cock’. But of course, I will not be using the translated phrase because it will be distracting on my part… so I will retain the pinyin for it. I have only skimmed through the story but I think there’s a reason why Jiao Qi calls his husband like that and we will eventually get to that part.
[2] Smart Brain – The literal translation from the raw is Wisdom Brain or Knowledge Brain, but, it was mentioned that this thing replaced the smartphones that we have now. Hence, I used smart brain … hahahahahahaha! *cough* … well, it would be easier for me to translate this way considering the logic behind…. *wink* As you may all know, this could also be referred to as AI (Artificial Intelligence). In this novel, smart brain is made up of two parts. First, there is a microchip implanted to the brain that is also connected to the neurons. Second, there is a peripheral linked to the smart brain in the form of a bracelet or wrist watch.
