【未定事件簿】 Tears of Themis: 【夏彦拜访剧情】 Xia Yan’s Personal Story 2-14 Translation

Translated parts: Xia Yan’s Personal Story Chapter 2: 2-1 / 2-2 / 2-4 / 2-5 / 2-7 / 2-8 / 2-9 / 2-10 / 2-11 / 2-13 / 2-14 Translation Masterlist: here

A quick explanation of how this feature works is that each boy has their own section that you can “Visit”! Part of it is like MLQC’s GSH feature, where you can talk to the boys (with Live2D!) and raise intimacy by interacting with them. The other part of it is a storyline that centers on the MC running around with the respective boy to deal with a certain case or situation.

Antiques Shop

After sending the girl home, Xia Yan returned to his own antiques shop.

He sat on his sofa, flipping through his copy of “Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”.

Yang Xiao: You must have had a lot of fun if you came home this late, right?

Xia Yan: …

Xia Yan: Brother Yang, there are some places in my room that have security mechanisms. It’s not safe for you to come and go as you please.

Yang Xiao: I did want to give you a call before I came in, but I was afraid of interrupting your date.

Yang Xiao: Oh, I’m returning this to you.

Yang Xiao tossed the glinting ring that had fallen on the car before.

Xia Yan: Just like your style of taking action from before… you didn’t even put it straight into the last storage cabinet.

Yang Xiao: I originally did want to do that, but after, I thought that I should give you a chance to turn over a new leaf.

Yang Xiao: After all, something like proposing marriage should be done by the person themselves.

Yang Xiao: But if you still wanted to leave her after today, I would have directly given the ring to her, dragged her to confront you, and watched you deal with it.

Xia Yan: Aren’t you being too ruthless – I’m a sick patient, after all!

Yang Xiao: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Being brave enough to take risks is my style as a doctor.

Yang Xiao: Plus, a patient like you needs shocking methods. Only by getting stimulated well, will you have a vigorous will to live.

Xia Yan: …

Xia Yan: Alright, I already no longer plan to leave her. Return my box to me.

Yang Xiao: Since you already plan to accompany her, then it shouldn’t be a big deal for them to be returned to you, one by one, by following Sphinx’s riddles.

Xia Yan: Brother Yang…

Xia Yan: I bothered asking you for it because I wanted to act with etiquette. I didn’t want to intrude into people’s homes like you.

Xia Yan: Or do you think that there’s a place on earth that I have no way of coming and going from as I wish?

Yang Xiao: …

Yang Xiao: Xia Yan, I’m actually thinking for you.

Xia Yan shot a glance at Yang Xiao, with “Keep spinning your lies” written all over his face.

Yang Xiao: I’m telling the truth!

Yang Xiao: Think about it. If I return the box to you now, how will you explain to her how you defeated Sphinx?

Yang Xiao: You can’t tell her that the two of us conducted and acted this out, right? Hey, don’t glare at me… alright, consider it as me conducting and acting this out.

Yang Xiao: But with good friends like us, she’ll definitely think that we joined hands to mess with her, right?

Xia Yan: …

Yang Xiao: Today, you lied when you helped me cover things up, right?

Yang Xiao: The taste of lying to the woman that you love the most is definitely hard to bear, right?

Yang Xiao slapped Xia Yan’s shoulder, his face full of sincerity.

Yang Xiao: Take your time. Take your time in weaving this play full circle. Don’t rush.

Yang Xiao: This way, you’re good, I’m good, she’s good – everyone’s good.

Xia Yan did his best to control the twitching in corners of his mouth. With a calm and collected face, he knocked off the hand that Yang Xiao had placed on his shoulder.

Xia Yan: …

Yang Xiao: Plus, with the box at my place, you’ve also got one more reason to set up a date with her – isn’t that pretty decent!

Xia Yan: You’re too much…

Yang Xiao: Alright, I’m leaving the physical examination schedule on your table. Remember to come on time.

Yang Xiao: Your sister-in-law has stewed some dinner for me. I should get home to eat it.

After Yang Xiao finished talking, he stood up. Xia Yan sent him to the door.

Xia Yan: Brother Yang… thank you for today.

Yang Xiao: I’m just contributing all the humble effort within my power.

Yang Xiao: The one who makes the decision is you yourself.

Yang Xiao: That year, I could save you. I can still do so now. Live well for me, young man.

Turning away, Yang Xiao waved at Xia Yan and walked into the night.

Xia Yan returned to the place in front of the computer and sat. He held up that lost-and-found ring, staring at the centrepiece ruby, and fell into deep thought.

That heart-shaped gem, red as fresh pigeon’s blood, was crystal clear. The carefully polished facets sparkled resplendently.

Surrounding the gem, there was a circle of densely-packed little diamonds. The ring of platinum formed the base, stably holding this splendour in place.

It was a most typical look, but it was unique and unmatched in this world – it was a ring that Xia Yan made himself.

[Flashback]

Infirmary

When Yang Xiao pushed the door open and came in, Xia Yan was sitting on the hospital bed, holding sandpaper to polish the gem.

Yang Xiao: Yo, still busying yourself?

He glanced curiously at the gem in Xia Yan’s hand, his eyes full of smiles.

Yang Xiao: Working so diligently… looks like this stone really is important to you.

Yang Xiao: You don’t know how tightly you held it when you were undergoing surgery.

Yang Xiao: Me and the other two team doctors – three grown men – couldn’t force open your hand even when we combined our efforts.

Yang Xiao: With much difficulty, we managed to touch the stone, but just when we shifted it a bit, you started shaking and crying out.

Yang Xiao: Scared us so much that we rushed to put it back.

Yang Xiao: Say, are you Jia Baoyu* reincarnated, with this stone as your lifeline?

Xia Yan’s hand movements paused. He didn’t speak for a while.

Yang Xiao: Although, I also need to thank the lucky influence of this stone.

Yang Xiao: When we stuffed it back into your hand, your will to live clearly increased significantly.

Yang Xiao: Otherwise, with the potency of the toxic gas you breathed in, I wouldn’t be able to save you even if I were Hua Tuo** reincarnated.

Yang Xiao wasn’t wrong.

At that time, it wasn’t just him. The moment he was pushed on the surgery bench, even Xia Yan himself had already lost all hope.

Toxic gas in his body – he was vaguely aware of how many of his teammates that came here before him had died in this way.

It was just that he hadn’t completely resigned yet… he wanted to see her. He wanted to see if she was living well right now…

And then, he heard it.

That familiar voice came from far to near, gradually amplifying beside his ear.

“Xia Yan, you must return. I’m waiting for you to return.”

A ray of light penetrated his chaotic field of vision. In the depths of the radiance, the girl’s figure was outlined with light.

She extended her hand to him. Unconsciously, he started to sprint.

When their fingertips touched, the white figure dissipated in all directions. There was only the girl’s hairclip, which fell into his hand.

Something took root and grew in his heart, and his will to live suddenly went up!

He would continue to live. He would personally tell her of the feelings he had hidden for many years in his heart…

Thus, in the middle of that difficult operation, he miraculously survived.

And the “hairclip” that had fallen into his hand was the source of this gem in his hand.

Yang Xiao: Although seriously, this stone really is pretty magical, with there actually being a natural heart-shaped ruby inside.

Yang Xiao: If you used that to propose marriage, it would be so romantic… wait!

Yang Xiao suddenly looked towards Xia Yan.

Yang Xiao: Young man, could you be using this for an engagement ring?

Yang Xiao: Explain obediently – when did you get a girlfriend?

Xia Yan: … Do I look like someone who has time to establish romantic relationships?

Yang Xiao: Then it must be someone from before. Who is it? How old? How’s her personality? Is she pretty?

Xia Yan: I…

Patient A: Brother Yang, don’t scare young people.

Xia Yan hadn’t finished refuting this when the male patient on the adjacent bed started talking first.

Patient A: To me, Little Comrade Xia must have encountered a heavenly girl by destiny on his missions and fell into the river of love.

Patient A: Just like those 007 movies that they often make. An exceptional girl living in a foreign country, stimulating and romantic.

Xia Yan: Your imagination is so rich that you might as well become a screenwriter.

Patient A: Hey… don’t be shy.

The male patient took out a bag of something from under his pillow. Supporting himself with the bed’s guardrails, he hopped over and moved it to Xia Yan.

Patient A: Here. Encouragement from a senior’s love.

Patient A: Just a ruby is too drab. Set these diamond pieces on the side – it’ll be prettier.

Patient A: I originally kept this to give to her, but these legs of mine… I’m just afraid that I’ll be a burden on her.

Patient A: Do your best. When you get together, remember to invite me to drink the wedding wine!

[Flashback end]

“Reality often doesn’t go as planned.”

“After hearing about those experiences she had, I…”

“But I won’t be confused anymore.”

“I’ve made a promise with her.”

“That when she’s lonely, she has me. When she’s experiencing difficulties, she has me. When she’s being capricious, she has me… for all of time, she has me.

“For this, even if I’m struggling on my deathbed, I’ll work my hardest.”

“I want to always accompany her, by her side.”

“… If I can’t, then let me be her family member, and accompany her to walk just a little bit further…”

TL Notes:

*Jia Baoyu is the main character of a Chinese novel called Dream of the Red Chamber, born as an incarnation of a magic piece of jade.

**Hua Tuo is an ancient Chinese physician, known for his skill in surgery, as well as his use of anaesthetics.

I checked my translation over several times when I read “most typical look” (about the ring) because I was like??? Why would they write that after talking about how beautiful it is?? But there simply wasn’t another way to interpret that line…

Xia Yan also voices the end bit. 10/10 would recommend listening

Online Love

Marvel Masterlist

Main Masterlist

Synopsis: Bucky and his mysterious S have only been communicating via phone that is until S suggests they finally meet in person. Bucky isn’t sure how he feels about that idea but he says yes anyway.

Word count: 2026

A/N: Hope you don’t mind that i used your stucky social media post as inspiration. @snowbarrysolicity

Their lives had finally stopped revolving around fighting. They had both finally figured out how-to live-in peace. No more fight against the enemy and no more fighting against each other.

They were childhood friends; battle tore them apart, but daily remainders kept each other close.

One was known as the hero to the public while the other was known as the enemy, normally stories like this would sound cliched and audiences would know where this would turn. This is exactly that story.

“Yo, Buck. We’re all heading out, want to come join us?” Sam yelled over the music in the gym.

Bucky looked up from the punching bag “Whose us?”

“Stark, Barton and Rogers”

Bucky scrunched up his face “Maybe another time.”

Sam rolled his eyes “Don’t know why you bother training; we both know I’m the stronger one out of the two of us” He laughed.

“I’ll give you whose stronger” Bucky joked as he raised his metal fist.

The two males laughed together.

“Right, fine. Catch ya in a bit” Sam called out as he headed out of their shared house.

Bucky paused for a moment as he listened to front door close shut. He rushed to his phone next to the speakers, he picked it up and smiled as he saw an unread message from his new crush.

Bucky clicked open the message.

It was nice to finally hear your voice in person last night. x S.

Bucky felt like a child with a hidden crush that his too shy to share. No one knew that Bucky had been talking to a guy. They had meet on a dating app, Sam had set one up for Bucky thinking that Buck could move his looking for love online instead of trying old 1940’s tricks that make any woman sick to hear.

He had swiped on a guy who he only knew as S, even the profile picture seemed a bit vague. Bucky didn’t care, the two of them had been messaging each other non-stop since even swapping numbers.

No one knew about Bucky’s new interest; he was even too shy to talk to Steve about it.

Bucky bit his lower lip as he tried to find the words to reply with.

Maybe we could meet in person?

Bucky backspaced the message “No” he sighed to himself.

Want to stay up late again tonight?

“Ah!” he cringed to himself. “Don’t come off quick” he sighed again.

Same time again?

Bucky pressed send. He lowered his head thinking he was going to wreck his chances too quickly. They had only been talking for almost two months, they each had their excuses on not wanting to meet in person.

Bucky’s excuse was always the same, I’m sorry but things have been hectic and trying to meet in person would be rushed.

While S’ excuse would be work’s been holding me hostage, we’ll plan something...eventually.

Bucky looked down at his phone as an instant reply came through.

I’m free now.

Bucky jumped in giddy. He took a deep breath as he rang S’ number. He looked up at the punching bag, he bit his lower lip.

“James”

He loved the way S said his name. No one called him James, not even Steve; at least not anymore.

“S” Bucky smiled at himself as he began to walk out of the gym.

“did you get much sleep after I hung up last night?”

Bucky was glad he was alone, no one could see him blush “Ah, sorry man that I crashed. It’s just been crazy lately.” He couldn’t believe that he fell asleep half way through their conversation last night.

S laughed a little “has anyone ever told you that your snore is cute?”

Bucky paused for a moment as he stopped on the stairs. He didn’t know how to respond to that. He took a second to recollect his thoughts “you should see what else is cute” his eyes widened as he realised what he had just said. “fuck!” he mouthed to himself.

S laughed a little “Are you finally free from being busy?”

Bucky clenched his human hand, letting his nails dig into his skin. He wasn’t ready to meet in person. What happens if S didn’t like what he saw? What happens if S knew about Bucky’s past?

“James, are you there?”

Bucky unclenched his hand “Yes, sorry” He took the final three steps up the stairs “is work still holding you hostage?”

“At the moment things have seem to died down and I’m no longer chained to my…” S stopped himself from speaking “Maybe we could finally meet up tomorrow?”

Bucky went quiet again, he moved along the hallway. He couldn’t but he wanted to. He shouldn’t but he wanted to. A million thoughts ran through Bucky’s mind.

“James?”

Bucky stopped at the entrance of the kitchen “Tomorrow?” he tried to remain calm.

“Yeah? Say around 3?”

Bucky paused. His thoughts started to swirl around trying to find a good excuse to use, trying to find something that could avoid a meet up. He loved texting S and he loved finally hearing S’ voice for a change but meeting in person? No, that was off the table.

“James?” S started to worry.

Bucky caught his reflection in the window. He didn’t think he was a looker, his shoulder length dark hair pulled into a messy bun, a scruffy beard around his lower jaw. A baggy singlet over his upper body and a pair of sweats over his lower body.

He had heard Sam’s jokes too many times, not that it bruised Bucky’s ego but some days he did believe the joking insults Sam said.

“James? Are you still there?”

Bucky snapped back into the conversation, he wanted to hang up. Use some excuse of the phone call ending abruptly. “I..can...3..is” Bucky fumbled with his words.

“Are you sure, James? We don’t have too meet in person”

“Nah, it’s cool.” Bucky finally managed to find his words.

“Nah, you don’t want to meet up or cool that you do?” S tried to find certainty in the answer.

“Sorry, S. I totally want to see you tomorrow, it’s about time, anyway. Right?” Bucky tried to act cool.

S laughed a little “It’s certainly overdue. Alright, say across the road from the building that used to be Stark towers?”

“3pm, at that coffee shop?”

“Yep. Alright, I get it...I’ll get off the phone” another voice could be heard in the background, but Bucky couldn’t make out what they were saying “Sorry, James. Friends of mine want me off the phone, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Bye S.” Bucky waited for the line to go quiet before he put his phone in his pocket.

He couldn’t believe it; he was going on his first date since having his memory and metal arm altered by Shuri. To say Bucky was nervous would be an understand; he was scared and nervous. He couldn’t believe he had agreed to it.

# #

Bucky placed the razor down on the sink’s edge as he looked at his smooth face in the reflection of the bathroom mirror; he smiled a little.

“Oh, come man, now I’m going to have to look at that ugly thing all the time? At least the beard was an improvement” Joked Sam as he stopped in the doorway of the bathroom.

Bucky rolled his eyes.

Sam’s eyes moved to the bathroom floor seeing Bucky’s chopped hair on the floor “hope you plan on cleaning all that up”

Bucky looked at Sam.

“What? I could’ve said something about the towel too but” Same shrugged a little “I’ve grown numb to you walking around in a towel.”

Bucky smiled a little.

“Doors were invented for a reason dude” Sam leaned against the door way. “What’s with the clean-up, anyway?”

Bucky looked at the sink, he turned on the taps trying to clean up the mess of his beard “I..” he paused for a moment “I have a date”

Sam burst out laughing “What girl wants a weak ass like you? Should tell her, that the falcon is over here.”

Bucky wanted to correct Sam, it wasn’t a she he was meeting; it was a he. “Come on, man. We know the ladies love the metal” He joked back at Sam.

“Always using that lame ass excuse” Sam rolled his eyes “Do I know her?”

Bucky shrugged.

Sam shrugged in reply “Is that all I get? A shrug? Man, your finally getting the hang of this century.”

Bucky turned off the taps, he looked at Sam “That’s all your getting, birdman.”

“Bird man?” Sam pretended to feel offended “At least I’m a chick magnet”

It was Bucky’s turn to roll his eyes.

“Are you bringing her back here?”

Bucky carefully knelt down to the ground trying not to let his towel come loose, he shrugged.

Sam shrugs “again with a shrug?”

“Look, Sam. I don’t know. This is our first-time meeting in person. Probably go back to theirs” He started to try and clean the cuts off his hair from the floor.

“Well if you bring her back here, than just send me a text so I can clear the zone. I don’t want to see your nasty ass walking around naked.”

“ ‘right” Bucky tried not to feel hurt over the last comment. He was trying to stay positive for his date with S but the conversation with Sam was taking Bucky’s thoughts down.

# #

Sam looked at Bucky “Gotta admit, you don’t scrub up too bad” he complimented his friend.

Bucky smiled a little. He was dressed in jeans, plain shirt, and a leather jack. Bucky ran his metal fingers through his hair to slick it back slightly, he used his human hand to check his phone “thanks man.”

“Let me know how it goes and if things don’t work out. Give her my number”

“Yeah, that ain’t happening.” Bucky waved bye to his friend as he walked towards the front door. He pulled his sunglasses out from the inside of his jacket and put them on. He shoved his metal hand into the pocket of his jeans trying to make himself look as human as possible as he walked out of their property.

# #

Bucky checked the time on his phone. 14:50. He sat down outside the café as he waited for his order. He could feel his heart racing, he wanted to bail, and ghost S. Bucky would rather go back on the run again than deal with meeting S.

Bucky looked down as he felt the table vibrate, he noticed a new message flash across the screen of his phone. He opened the message.

Who am I looking for?

Bucky looked up around him trying to see if anyone was looking at their phone. A lot of different people were, he sighed a little than began typing.

Leather jacket, glasses on. Back corner on the right, outside the café.

Bucky looked up at the café waiter as they placed down the coffee he had ordered “thanks”. Bucky hit send on the message.

He ran his metal fingers through his hair, nervous were building up.

“James?”

Bucky quickly shoved his metal hand in his jacket pocket “S..” he looked up at the male standing next to him; his eyes widened couldn’t be, but it was “Steve?”

Steve Rogers winked at Bucky “You seem surprised?” He sat down across from Bucky.

“Well, yeah...I’m waiting for a friend. I didn’t think this neck of the town would be your thing anymore”

Steve shrugged a little “I’m surprised you never put two and two together.”

Bucky paused for a moment “Your S?” He was in disbelief “you can’t be S.” he was lost for words “How?”

Steve smirked “You see Buckaroo, you weren’t taking my hints before and I thought I’d try something different. Though I’m surprised you even know what a dating app is”

Bucky blushed a little “Me? What about you? Did Stark finally teach you how to finally use a phone?”

The two males laughed.

Bucky was no longer nervous to find out who S was, but he felt stupid that he hadn’t realised it was his childhood friend.
