He handed a bouquet of delicate roses to her, and his voice entered her ears.
“Officer Wu, I’ve checked. You and that teacher have basically broken up.
“Well, my heart is completely devoted to you! Look, ever since I met you, there have been no more women around me. My heart belongs to only you. Do you see these roses? Ninety-nine roses represent my love for you and will last for a long time.”
Jiaren Wu came back to her senses.
She was speechless.
Hearing Lin Zhi’s mushy confession, Jiaren Wu rolled her eyes and said, “Young Master Lin, these romantic words are outdated.”
Lin Zhi’s smile faded, and he immediately changed his tone. He looked like the spoiled young master that Jiaren Wu was familiar with.
He said, “Oh, I’ll be frank then. From the first time I saw you, I already had feelings for you. Be my girlfriend. Let’s be together. I have money. and you have looks. It will be very exciting.”
Lin Zhi’s words were straightforward and could be considered harassment, but Jiaren Wu’s eyes revealed a genuine smile.
She stuffed the roses into Lin Zhi’s arms and said, “I’m not greedy for money. I’m only greedy for a face.” She smiled as she looked at Lin Zhi’s face and concluded, “Your face is still lacking.”
No matter how beautiful or ugly one was, as long as it wasn’t Wei Shuyi’s face, she couldn’t care less.
However, Lin Zhi didn’t get angry. He replied, “My other physical skills aren’t bad either.” What he implied was obvious.
Jiaren Wu wasn’t one to back down. “It’s alright. My skills are pretty good too. If Mr. Wei doesn’t know how to play, I’ll teach him.”
Lin Zhi returned in low spirits.
But somehow, this matter reached Wei Shuyi’s ears.
The next night, Wei Shuyi came to the police station.
He didn’t bring any flowers or gifts, only a lunch box.
He entered their office. Many people were on duty that night. When they saw Wei Shuyi, someone shouted at Jiaren Wu in the interrogation room, “Officer Wu, your handsome guy is here.”
After a while, Jiaren Wu walked out.
When she saw Wei Shuyi, she ran over and snatched the lunch box from him. As she opened the lid of the lunch box, she complained to Wei Shuyi, “You came at the right time. I’m starving. Let me see what delicious food you brought me.”
When she opened the lid, several red rose petals fell out of the lunch box.
He brought me a box of rose petals!
Jiaren Wu stared blankly at the box of rose petals.
She looked up in surprise and met Wei Shuyi’s frowning face.
“What is this?”
Wei Shuyi’s nose was acting differently. He said, “A rose for you.”
Jiaren Wu suddenly laughed.
“Jealous?”
Wei Shuyi sneered, “I’m not jealous.” He picked up a petal from the lunch box and stuffed it into Jiaren Wu’s mouth.
Jiaren Wu used her mouth to hold the rose petal, her lips even more delicate than a rose. Wei Shuyi sternly lectured her, “Although roses are beautiful, you can’t eat them. They have thorns, and you will get a mouthful of blood.”
Jiaren Wu raised her head and looked at him. She chewed on the petal and said, “You’re still saying you’re not jealous? I can smell it.”
Wei Shuyi didn’t deny that.
Seeing that she was really going to eat the rose, Wei Shuyi couldn’t bear it and quickly said, “Spit it out, and come downstairs to have dinner with me.”
“You brought food?”
“Yes. In the car.”
Jiaren Wu immediately threw up her petals and said goodbye to her colleagues. She followed Wei Shuyi downstairs to his car.
As he watched the two of them leave, Kang Hui suddenly said, “This is great. During New Year’s Eve this year, Little Junior Sister doesn’t need to be on duty anymore.” Kang Hui casually sighed, but his words had come true.
However, the reason she wasn’t on duty wasn’t that she had gotten into a relationship.
Wei Shuyi walked in front with a straight face. He opened the back door and stood at the side, waiting for Jiaren Wu to get in.
In the car, Jiaren Wu had just sat down when she heard Wei Shuyi say, “I regret it.”
“Yeah?”
“Let’s end it,” he said.
Jiaren Wu was stunned.
Is this the end of our relationship?
Wei Shuyi: “Let’s end this pathetic cold war. Let’s date.”
Jiaren Wu’s heartbeat rose and fell with Wei Shuyi’s words.
“Sure.”
Hearing her say yes, Wei Shuyi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. “My attitude toward this relationship has shown my doubt and fear. Aren’t you angry?”
Jiaren Wu nodded. “I’ve been angry before.” She continued, “But people are like this. It’s better for you to consider these questions seriously than to take our relationship lightly.”
Wei Shuyi stroked her hair. “Silly.”
Jiaren Wu waved his hand away and retorted, “Stupid.”
Seeing the red lump on Wei Shuyi’s neck, Jiaren Wu asked with concern, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you so red and itchy?”
“I’m allergic to pollen.” Wei Shuyi had gone to the flower shop to buy roses today. Although he had worn a mask, he still felt a little itchy.
When Jiaren Wu heard this, she fell silent once more.
Sensing her silence, Wei Shuyi turned to look at her and rubbed her head before asking, “What’s wrong?”
Jiaren Wu raised her head and asked him, “When you went to look at the sea of flowers in the village last time, your skin was so red. Were you allergic?”
“Yeah.”
Jiaren Wu was visibly moved.
She had thought that Wei Shuyi was feeling hot, but she didn’t expect him to be allergic to pollen. “Why didn’t you say so?” They wouldn’t have gone if that was the case.
“Didn’t you want to go there?” Wei Shuyi asked her back.
Jiaren Wu fell silent again.
Just because she wanted to see the sea of flowers, Wei Shuyi, who was allergic to pollen, had followed her without a word…
“Mr. Wei.”
“Yeah?”
Jiaren Wu playfully smiled at Wei Shuyi and said, “I like you more today.”
“Is that so?”
Wei Shuyi didn’t argue with her anymore. He took out the lunch box from the front passenger seat, opened it, and held it with both hands. Teacher Wei had brought some cured meat, stir-fried bamboo shoots, dry-fried beans, and a large bowl of white rice for Jiaren Wu. They were ordinary dishes, but Jiaren Wu ate them very happily.
Of course, she finished all the food.
Wei Shuyi suddenly smiled and said, “According to your appetite, after we get married, we have to buy an extra bag of rice every month.”
Both Wei Shuyi and Jiaren Wu were stunned.
Married…
So he has already subconsciously seen me as someone he can marry?
Wei Shuyi was a little surprised too. He didn’t expect himself to think of Jiaren Wu so highly.
After hearing this, Jiaren Wu was in a good mood. She casually replied, “Do you want me to subsidize your living expenses?”
Wei Shuyi smiled and shook his head. “No need. I can still afford a bag of rice.”
After the meal, Jiaren Wu caught sight of Wei Shuyi packing up the lunch box. Her gaze fell on his hands. Jiaren Wu didn’t really care much about her hands. Her hands might have calluses, but they were still pretty. Wei Shuyi, on the other hand, was different. His hands were born to use scalpels and pens. They were especially beautiful.
Jiaren Wu could not help but fantasize about how he would write and draw or how he would use a scalpel to treat a heart.
Gradually, her gaze deepened.
