He handed a bouquet of delicate roses to her, and his voice entered her ears.
âOfficer Wu, Iâve checked. You and that teacher have basically broken up.
âWell, 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.â
Jiaren Wu came back to her senses.
She was speechless.
Hearing Lin Zhiâs mushy confession, Jiaren Wu rolled her eyes and said, âYoung Master Lin, these romantic words are outdated.â
Lin Zhiâs smile faded, and he immediately changed his tone. He looked like the spoiled young master that Jiaren Wu was familiar with.
He said, âOh, Iâll be frank then. From the first time I saw you, I already had feelings for you. Be my girlfriend. Letâs be together. I have money. and you have looks. It will be very exciting.â
Lin Zhiâs words were straightforward and could be considered harassment, but Jiaren Wuâs eyes revealed a genuine smile.
She stuffed the roses into Lin Zhiâs arms and said, âIâm not greedy for money. Iâm only greedy for a face.â She smiled as she looked at Lin Zhiâs face and concluded, âYour face is still lacking.â
No matter how beautiful or ugly one was, as long as it wasnât Wei Shuyiâs face, she couldnât care less.
However, Lin Zhi didnât get angry. He replied, âMy other physical skills arenât bad either.â What he implied was obvious.
Jiaren Wu wasnât one to back down. âItâs alright. My skills are pretty good too. If Mr. Wei doesnât know how to play, Iâll teach him.â
Lin Zhi returned in low spirits.
But somehow, this matter reached Wei Shuyiâs ears.
The next night, Wei Shuyi came to the police station.
He didnât 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, âOfficer Wu, your handsome guy is here.â
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, âYou came at the right time. Iâm starving. Let me see what delicious food you brought me.â
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 Shuyiâs frowning face.
âWhat is this?â
Wei Shuyiâs nose was acting differently. He said, âA rose for you.â
Jiaren Wu suddenly laughed.
âJealous?â
Wei Shuyi sneered, âIâm not jealous.â He picked up a petal from the lunch box and stuffed it into Jiaren Wuâs mouth.
Jiaren Wu used her mouth to hold the rose petal, her lips even more delicate than a rose. Wei Shuyi sternly lectured her, âAlthough roses are beautiful, you canât eat them. They have thorns, and you will get a mouthful of blood.â
Jiaren Wu raised her head and looked at him. She chewed on the petal and said, âYouâre still saying youâre not jealous? I can smell it.â
Wei Shuyi didnât deny that.
Seeing that she was really going to eat the rose, Wei Shuyi couldnât bear it and quickly said, âSpit it out, and come downstairs to have dinner with me.â
âYou brought food?â
âYes. In the car.â
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, âThis is great. During New Yearâs Eve this year, Little Junior Sister doesnât need to be on duty anymore.â Kang Hui casually sighed, but his words had come true.
However, the reason she wasnât on duty wasnât 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, âI regret it.â
âYeah?â
âLetâs end it,â he said.
Jiaren Wu was stunned.
Is this the end of our relationship?
Wei Shuyi: âLetâs end this pathetic cold war. Letâs date.â
Jiaren Wuâs heartbeat rose and fell with Wei Shuyiâs words.
âSure.â
Hearing her say yes, Wei Shuyi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. âMy attitude toward this relationship has shown my doubt and fear. Arenât you angry?â
Jiaren Wu nodded. âIâve been angry before.â She continued, âBut people are like this. Itâs better for you to consider these questions seriously than to take our relationship lightly.â
Wei Shuyi stroked her hair. âSilly.â
Jiaren Wu waved his hand away and retorted, âStupid.â
Seeing the red lump on Wei Shuyiâs neck, Jiaren Wu asked with concern, âWhatâs wrong with you? Why are you so red and itchy?â
âIâm allergic to pollen.â 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, âWhatâs wrong?â
Jiaren Wu raised her head and asked him, âWhen you went to look at the sea of flowers in the village last time, your skin was so red. Were you allergic?â
âYeah.â
Jiaren Wu was visibly moved.
She had thought that Wei Shuyi was feeling hot, but she didnât expect him to be allergic to pollen. âWhy didnât you say so?â They wouldnât have gone if that was the case.
âDidnât you want to go there?â 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 wordâ¦
âMr. Wei.â
âYeah?â
Jiaren Wu playfully smiled at Wei Shuyi and said, âI like you more today.â
âIs that so?â
Wei Shuyi didnât 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, âAccording to your appetite, after we get married, we have to buy an extra bag of rice every month.â
Both Wei Shuyi and Jiaren Wu were stunned.
Marriedâ¦
So he has already subconsciously seen me as someone he can marry?
Wei Shuyi was a little surprised too. He didnât expect himself to think of Jiaren Wu so highly.
After hearing this, Jiaren Wu was in a good mood. She casually replied, âDo you want me to subsidize your living expenses?â
Wei Shuyi smiled and shook his head. âNo need. I can still afford a bag of rice.â
After the meal, Jiaren Wu caught sight of Wei Shuyi packing up the lunch box. Her gaze fell on his hands. Jiaren Wu didnât 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.
