At nine-thirty in the morning, Wei Shuyi went to the ward and visited all his patients. He then returned to his office.
Ten minutes after he sat down, Yuan Jun arrived at his office as well.
Yuan Jun had just finished his ward round and was holding a stack of patient reports in his hand. When he passed by Wei Shuyi’s office, he turned around and entered it.
“Did you have a good date yesterday?” He liked to sit at his desk and chat with people.
This was a bad habit, but he couldn’t change it.
Wei Shuyi pulled out a test report from under his butt. He raised the X-ray scan and focused on it.
Seeing his senior brother remain silent, Yuan Jun was rather surprised.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t you have fun yesterday?”
How could Wei Shuyi tell Yuan Jun that he had been stood up?
He poked Yuan Jun’s butt with the tip of his nose and coldly said, “Move.”
Yuan Jun shifted his butt and urged him, “I’m asking you a question.”
“Nosy!”
When he heard Wei Shuyi’s sarcastic words, the smile on Yuan Jun’s face became especially sly. “Could it be that your date has failed?”
He was joking. Little did he know that he had hit the nail on the head.
Wei Shuyi’s face darkened. He raised his head and looked at Yuan Jun. Raising his right hand, he pointed at the door with his index finger and said, “Please get off my table. Then, go to the corridor quickly.”
Stunned, Yuan Jun finally understood what he meant.
He’s asking me to scram…
“Tsk, one look, and I can tell that you’re not in a good mood because of love.” Yuan Jun pouted his lips at Wei Shuyi and looked at him as a joke. “Who told you to be so cocky all the time? God has eyes, and you finally got your retribution.” After saying that, he saw a black shadow smashing toward his head. Yuan Jun turned around numbly and rolled away.
A book clattered to the floor.
Wei Shuyi stared at the book for a long time. The anger in his heart dissipated a little.
Jiaren Wu returned two days later.
When she came back, she went straight to the hospital to look for Wei Shuyi. As she arrived, Wei Shuyi was performing a heart bypass surgery. She waited outside for a long time. When it was past eight in the evening, the door to the operating theater opened. After a while, Wei Shuyi walked out.
He was surrounded by the patient’s family members who thanked him.
Jiaren Wu watched from afar, proud and sad.
She was proud because the person she loved was so outstanding.
She was sad because she had a premonition that Wei Shuyi would leave her sooner or later.
Wei Shuyi raised his head unintentionally. When he saw Jiaren Wu, he was stunned for a moment. Soon, he lowered his head again and continued talking to the patient’s family members. When all of the patient’s family members had left, more than ten minutes had passed. Wei Shuyi lowered his head and glanced at Jiaren Wu. Without saying a word, he walked past her.
Jiaren Wu followed him like a little sidekick.
Wei Shuyi entered his office and closed the door.
Jiaren Wu boldly reached out to grab the door handle. When she saw that Wei Shuyi hadn’t locked the door, she heaved a sigh of relief. She pushed open the door and saw him sitting on a chair.
He didn’t do anything and just looked up at the window.
Slowly walking over, Jiaren Wu stood beside Wei Shuyi, sizing him up. She then sat down on his lap.
Wei Shuyi didn’t push her away.
Jiaren Wu reached out and hugged his neck. She said, “I’m back, Brother Wei.”
Wei Shuyi remained silent.
She knew that Wei Shuyi was still angry.
She sighed silently.
Jiaren Wu thought about how Wei Shuyi had always been soft-hearted toward her. As long as she said something nice and acted coquettishly, he would be able to forgive her. Jiaren Wu leaned toward Wei Shuyi’s neck, hugged him, and slowly kissed him.
However, no matter how she enticed him, Wei Shuyi remained calm and collected.
The more she kissed him, the more uneasy she felt.
Suddenly, the person in his arms moved. However, he did not respond to her kiss. Instead, he pushed her head away from his neck.
“Don’t be like this.” Wei Shuyi’s voice sounded a little cold. He looked down at Jiaren Wu.
After seeing the apologetic look in Jiaren Wu’s eyes, Wei Shuyi felt bad and couldn’t bear to see her like this. But this time, he wasn’t prepared to forgive her so easily. “Jiaren, go back first. I need to work.” He finally could bear to say any harsh words to her.
Jiaren Wu was crying in her heart, but a faint smile appeared on her face.
“Brother Wei, how much longer are you going to be angry with me? My phone fell into the water that day. I didn’t mean to not pick up your call.”
Wei Shuyi accepted her explanation.
“Then don’t be mad anymore, okay?”
Hearing this, Wei Shuyi narrowed his eyes. He pushed Jiaren Wu away, and she stood up. Wei Shuyi then said, “I’ve never been in a real relationship before.”
“Mm?” Jiaren Wu was puzzled.
Wei Shuyi looked troubled and confused.
He helplessly said, “I don’t know how to handle this. I know that we’re both adults. I should be more magnanimous. But…” He put his right hand to his chest. “These days, I’ve been feeling stuffy here.
“How ridiculous! I’m a doctor in this field, but I can’t heal my own heart.”
Wei Shuyi looked up at Jiaren Wu, who was standing there. He asked her, “Tell me: how can I like you in a way that I can be happy and not feel pain?”
Jiaren Wu almost blushed in front of Wei Shuyi.
He truly loves me.
Jiaren Wu had almost told him the truth about why she approached Dongli Shenghua.
However, she forcefully endured it.
She couldn’t tell him. If she told Wei Shuyi, it would only increase his burden and implicate him.
Jiaren Wu laughed, but said, “There’s a method that might cause you temporary pain, but it will soon stop.”
“What?” Wei Shuyi’s expression became complicated.
Jiaren Wu said, “Don’t love.”
If he didn’t love her, it wouldn’t hurt.
Wei Shuyi guessed that she would say that.
He shook his head and said, “I can’t.”
I can’t stop loving you.
Loving you is painful.
He really dated her because he had nothing better to do.
“You can go back first.”
“Okay.”
After leaving the hospital, Jiaren Wu went to see Kang Hui.
Seeing Kang Hui, Jiaren Wu pounced on him.
Kang Hui was stunned. He was about to ask her what had happened when he heard Jiaren Wu crying.
Kang Hui froze on the spot, not knowing what to do. “Junior sister Jiaren, what’s wrong? Did Dongli Shenghua bully you?”
Jiaren Wu burst into tears.
“I like him!
“I really like him!” Jiaren Wu clutched Kang Hui’s clothes with her hands. She said, “I’m too inhumane. I was the one who provoked him first, but now I’ve made him suffer. He asked me how he could not feel pain. I told him that if he didn’t love me, he wouldn’t feel uncomfortable, but he said that he couldn’t do it…
“Senior Brother, I want to be with him. Really! I almost told him a few times. Senior Brother, tell me, what should I do?”
Kang Hui felt terrible.
“Sorry for troubling you.”
The two of them were like two little beasts, hugging each other and licking their wounds.
All of this was a trap they had set up.
When Kang Hui had found out that Shenhua Entertainment was hiring bodyguards, he had discussed it with Jiaren Wu. He wanted to think of a way for her to stop being a police officer and apply for a bodyguard job at Shenhua Entertainment to get close to Dongli Shenhua. They had been struggling to find a convincing opportunity.
Yang Shu’s appearance was that opportunity.
Due to the grudges between Yang Shu and Jiaren Wu, it was reasonable for Jiaren Wu to intentionally beat Yang Shu up in public.
Coincidentally, the higher-ups happened to be coming to inspect her work that day. Jiaren Wu could get fired easily for causing trouble.
She successfully took off the police uniform that she respected and became an unemployed person. Then, she deliberately posted multiple job requests online and went for interviews one by one. In the end, she successfully got close to Dongli Shenghua.
It was risky.
From the moment she had taken the first step, Jiaren Wu was prepared to accept all kinds of consequences.
She had thought that Dongli Shenghua might discover her intentions, and the worst-case scenario was that she would die from an accident. She had also thought that Wei Shuyi might have a conflict with her due to various matters, which might lead them to break up.
Even though she had rehearsed it countless times in her heart, Jiaren Wu still felt extremely pained when this moment happened.
“Why don’t we give up?” Kang Hui said.
Tears streamed down Jiaren Wu’s face as she asked, “Give up… And let more people suffer a fate worse than death like Little Cheng. In the end, they can only choose to commit suicide to end their lives? Let more people in the same industry lose their lives like Captain Huang and the rest? Let more people lose their loved ones like Little Jun? Let more parents lose their children like Lei Zi’s parents and have nothing to rely on?”
Kang Hui felt as if a knife was being twisted in his heart.
Jiaren Wu cried hard and seemed to have calmed down.
She suddenly said, “Dongli Shenghua confessed to me.”
Kang Hui was stunned.
“What kind of trick is this?” Whether it was Kang Hui, Jiaren Wu, or Wei Shuyi, they all thought that Dongli Shenghua was playing tricks on Jiaren Wu.
Jiaren Wu shook her head. “Let’s wait and see.”
