The highly intelligent logician Yan Su (言溯/Yán Sù/Serious) understands everything, except for emotional intelligence* (qíng商); The intellectually inclined biologist Zhen Ai (甄爱/Zhēn Ài/True Love) is good at everything, except for being absent-minded, which is essentially slow reaction.

When she doesn’t react,

Yan Su: Your nerve reflex could go around the Earth five times.

When she does react,

Zhen Ai: Cold.

Yan Su: That’s because of kidney yang deficiency**; it could also be due to iron deficiency in the blood, insufficient secretion of thyroid hormones……

When he believes her,

Yan Su: Of course it wasn’t you who killed the person; if you were to kill someone, you would definitely do it in a more vicious yet elegant manner.

Zhen Ai: Thank you!

When he doesn’t believe her, he intends to tackle Zhen Ai, his True Love, in a serious manner… This is actually a story with both Yan Su and Zhen Ai, a blend of emotional and detective literature.

Author: Say something to the readers who are reading the text!

Yan Su: Bring your intelligence when reading!

Zhen Ai:…Ah… what… diligent Ah Jiu seeks to be collected!

NB:

*Qíng商 (情商): Literally translated as “emotional intelligence,” it refers to the ability to understand and manage emotions, empathize with others, and navigate social situations effectively.

**Kidney Yang Deficiency (肾阳虚): In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the kidneys are associated with the body’s fundamental energy and vitality. Yang represents warmth, activity, and metabolism. Kidney Yang deficiency is believed to result in symptoms such as feeling cold, fatigue, and slow metabolism. It’s a concept used in TCM to explain certain health conditions.

The two characters in the story are named 甄爱 (Zhēn’ài) and 言溯 (Yán Sù).

甄爱 is a name composed of the characters 甄 (Zhēn), which means “examine” or “appraise,” and 爱 (ài), which means “love” or “affection.” So, her name could imply someone who loves to examine things or has a loving and caring nature.

言溯 consists of the characters 言 (Yán), meaning “speech” or “words,” and 溯 (Sù), meaning “trace” or “pursue.” Therefore, his name could suggest someone who traces or pursues words or speech, perhaps indicating a logical or analytical nature.
