[But I’m afraid I’ll never forget the taste of the strange cookie.]

Wei Shuyi felt extremely guilty as he stared at that long sentence.

The failure of his operation had taken the life of a young girl and the sincere feelings of a boy.

Later, Wei Shuyi realized that his hand would tremble whenever they touched the scalpel.
He knew that there was something wrong with his mind.
He was a cardiologist, but he could not cure his heart disease.

Yuan Jun was right.
I’m a coward and a weakling.

Wei Shuyi returned home in the middle of the night.
When he opened the door and saw the darkness inside, he felt surprisingly lonely.

Clearly, Jiaren Wu had not stayed at his house for many nights.

For a lonely person to adapt to warmth, all they needed was another person to stretch out their hand and pull them close.
But falling back from warmth to loneliness could kill someone.

Wei Shuyi stood alone at the entrance.
He hesitated. Should I turn on the lights or just walk into the room in the dark?

Suddenly, the living room turned as bright as day.

Wei Shuyi narrowed his eyes in discomfort.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Jiaren Wu, who was wearing his black shirt, standing by the door of the master bedroom.
Under her clothes, her long legs looked dangling, and she wasn’t wearing any pants.

Wei Shuyi’s gaze stopped below her shirt for a moment, then he asked, “Are you wearing underwear?”

Jiaren Wu insisted, “Your underwear is quite big and doesn’t fit me well.”

Wei Shuyi was stunned.

Then, he strode over and lifted her shirt, only to see that she was wearing her underwear.

Wei Shuyi was speechless.

He had thought she had even worn wearing his underwear.

This startled him.

Jiaren Wu smiled like a little fox.
She raised her head, her jawline looking inexplicably seductive.
“Teacher Wei, you’ve been busy flirting with me since you got home.
Are all the university teachers nowadays as indecent as you?”

Wei Shuyi felt that these words sounded familiar.

It seemed that just a while ago, he had said, “Are police officers nowadays as passionate as you?”

His face darkened.
“You still have to wear your own underwear,” he said.

However, Jiaren Wu replied, “It’s better not to wear underwear.”

Wei Shuyi thought about it carefully and said, “If you’re so capable, why don’t you go out naked on the streets instead?”

Jiaren Wu rebutted, “Haha… After all, no one would dare to do anything to me if I don’t wear underwear on the streets, unlike some people who dress like a gentleman but almost get their pants ripped off…”

Hearing her words, Wei Shuyi was reminded of the fear of almost having his pants ripped off by the women in the Silk Bar.

He immediately calmed himself down.

The two of them stood facing each other without speaking.
After about ten seconds, Jiaren Wu suddenly said, “Are you feeling better?”

Wei Shuyi was stunned.

“Wh-what?”

When Wei Shuyi had pressed the passcode for the main door, Jiaren Wu had walked out of the room.
She had been leaning against the door the entire time, and naturally, she had noticed Wei Shuyi’s behavior as soon as he entered the room.
She could tell that he was in a bad mood, so she had teased him on purpose.

Wei Shuyi understood Jiaren Wu’s good intentions.
A few minutes ago, he was feeling depressed and lonely.
Now, he suddenly felt like a person who had lived in the cold winter for a long time and was just in time for the first ray of sunlight to pierce through the darkness and land on him.

He felt warm all over.

Wei Shuyi suddenly reached out and pulled Jiaren Wu into his embrace.
He poured his heart out and told her about his past.

Only then did Jiaren Wu realize that he had traversed many twists and turns in his career.

“Why do you feel guilty?”

Wei Shuyi said, “She trusted me so much.
She was looking forward to meeting the person she liked, but I disappointed her.”

Jiaren Wu knew that this matter wasn’t Wei Shuyi’s fault, but she could understand his feelings.
She hugged his back and asked him, “Then, do you plan on teaching for the rest of your life?”

Wei Shuyi shook his head.
“I don’t know either.”

It wasn’t easy to overcome a mental problem.

“With your mental fortitude, if you become a police officer, you’ll probably be terrified when you hear the gunshots.” Jiaren Wu’s heart ached for him, but she still didn’t show mercy.

Wei Shuyi was speechless.

At this moment, as a qualified girlfriend, shouldn’t she advise him to be more open-minded and pull himself together?

Why is Jiaren Wu mocking me?

“Then were you born bold? When you saw a dead person for the first time, weren’t you afraid?”

Jiaren Wu fell silent.

She let go of Wei Shuyi and walked back to her room.
Jumping onto the bed, she buried herself in the soft blanket.
Wei Shuyi looked for his clothes to take a shower.
When he was about to enter the bathroom, he heard Jiaren Wu say, “How could I not be scared? When I first saw a dead person, I was so scared that my legs went soft.”

She had pushed open the door and ran into her brother, who was pale and whose tongue was sticking out.
She had been terrified too.

She had slid down the door frame in shock.

All these years, she had dreamed of Wu Jiacheng’s death countless times.
Whenever she woke up, she would be covered in a cold sweat.

She was the real coward.

Wei Shuyi stopped in his tracks.
He lowered his head and looked at the person on the bed.
After some hesitation, he asked, “How did that person die?” He thought that the first person Jiaren Wu saw was a victim killed by a bad person.

Jiaren Wu’s heart was aching, but she still pretended to be calm as she answered Wei Shuyi, “He hanged himself.”

“Huh?” Wei Shuyi was surprised.

“Why did he hang himself?”

Her heart ached.

“Why did he hang himself?

“Because his life was a burden to his only family.”

Wei Shuyi was speechless.

What kind of a life would that be?

His life was a burden to his family? That family was the only one he had?

“Then his family must be in pain, right?”

The Wu family member replied, “That’s right.
They are in so much pain.
They are filled with regret and self-reproach.
So many years have passed, but his family still can’t accept the news of his death.” Jiaren Wu lifted her head.
Seeing that Wei Shuyi was still looking at her, she smiled and said, “That person, I think, had a special situation.”

“How special?”

“He was mentally challenged and had heart disease.
Even though he was not smart, his family still tried everything they could to find a suitable heart for him.
Later on, the heart transplant operation was successful.” Jiaren Wu paused for a moment.

She heard Wei Shuyi ask, “The surgery was successful, but he still hanged himself?” He frowned and felt that the person’s actions were too infuriating.

Jiaren Wu nodded.

“Yes, the surgery was successful.” She grabbed the pillow beside her and hugged it in her arms.
Feeling more at ease, she continued, “After the surgery was successful, he got to know a friend in the hospital.
That friend was a problematic teenager.
Yes, he was the kind of problematic teenager who fights and smokes when he’s 17 or 18 years old.”

“And?”

“That person was a mentally challenged child, right? He didn’t have many friends since he was young.
Perhaps, that problematic youth felt that, that person was more interesting and it was fun to be friends with him, so he often came to play with him.
At that time, that person’s family was very grateful to the problematic youth and felt that their child finally had a friend.

“His family treated the problematic youth very well.
Whenever they made good food, they would call him over to eat.
The problematic youth was brought to the police station several times, but it was that person’s family that protected him.

“Until…”

At some point in time, Wei Shuyi had already sat down by the bed.

He was still hugging his pajamas and listening intently.

Jiaren Wu narrowed her eyes with a complicated expression.
She leaned her head against Wei Shuyi’s back and said, “One day, that person’s family went out to look for that person.
In the end, they saw that problematic youth teaching that person how to smoke.”

“This…”

Wei Shuyi was a little stunned and angry.
“How can you treat a mentally challenged child like this?”

“Yeah, maybe he felt a sense of accomplishment for leading a mentally challenged child astray!

“That person’s family quarreled with the problematic youth on the spot, then brought that person home.
That person was obedient when he came home, but after a few days, his family realized that his mental state was not right.
The family was puzzled and stayed at home to secretly observe that person.
In the end, they saw that person hiding in the room and secretly taking drugs!”

Wei Shuyi felt his heart ache.

He angrily said, “That problematic youth is too much! Not only did he teach that child to smoke, he even instigated him to take drugs!”

“Yes, he was horrible.”

Jiaren Wu hugged Wei Shuyi and felt a chill in her heart.
However, she still had to tell Wei Shuyi about it.
“The family was so angry that they immediately went to look for the problematic youth.
They beat him up, and the problem youth confessed.
It turned out that the cigarette he smoked was laced with drugs.”

“Why would he do that?”

“Because that person didn’t lack money.
That person’s family treated him very well and never restricted his pocket money.
The problematic youth was short of money.
If he tempted that person to take drugs, he wouldn’t have had to worry about not having enough money to buy drugs.”

Wei Shuyi was so upset that his heart was about to explode.

“Vicious!

“How vicious!”

He gritted his teeth and cursed.
Behind him, Jiaren Wu’s eyes turned red.

“It was indeed very vicious.” Jiaren Wu held back her tears, and her throat rolled violently.
She then said, “Then, that person’s family forced that person to quit drugs.
But he couldn’t do it.
When his drug addiction acted up, he often hugged the table and banged his head against it.
His family couldn’t stand it anymore, so they would curl up in a corner and cry with him.

“Soon, a month passed, and that person became thinner and thinner.
His family was about to break down.

“One day, something happened to that person’s family members and they left the house.
Suddenly, they received a message from that person and rushed home immediately.
They saw that person hanging himself in the living room…”

Wei Shuyi was silent for a long time.

He lowered his head and held the hand around his waist tightly.

“It’s not easy in your line of work.
No wonder you refused to transfer even though you knew it was dangerous.” Wei Shuyi turned around and hugged Jiaren Wu.
He kissed her hair and said to her, “Then, what happened to that problematic youth?”

“The problematic youth went to rehab.
After leaving rehab, he went to jail.” In two months, that person would be released.

“Can a few years of imprisonment offset a life?” Wei Shuyi sneered.
“In the future, we must protect our child well.”

Jiaren Wu’s mood was no longer as gloomy.

She giggled and asked Wei Shuyi, “Are you thinking too far ahead by talking about our child.”

Wei Shuyi straightened his face and said to her, “You have to marry me.”

Jiaren Wu sneered.
“Where’s your shame?” You didn’t even propose and want me to have your child.

Your skin is really thick.

Wei Shuyi didn’t say much to her and went to take a shower.

When the bathroom door closed and the sound of running water could be heard, Jiaren Wu opened her phone and looked at her calendar.
She realized that there were only two months left until that person would be released from prison.
Her eyes turned cold, and she put down her phone quietly.

When Wei Shuyi came out of the shower, Jiaren Wu was about to fall asleep again.

She slept on the blanket.

On the black bedsheets and blankets, her skin looked especially fair.
Wei Shuyi was already very sleepy, but when he saw this scene, he still felt charmed.

Jiaren Wu groggily woke up from a kiss.

She opened her eyes and saw Wei Shuyi’s fiery and lustful eyes.

Her thoughts became clearer.

Jiaren Wu immediately got up and pinned Wei Shuyi down.
She said, “I brought the handcuffs back.”

What the heck?

Wei Shuyi was stunned.
A moment later, he heard a click.
One of his hands was handcuffed to the pillar by the bed.

Wei Shuyi was speechless.

“Why am I the one being handcuffed?”

“I don’t want to play with props!”

“I’m not interested in this.
If you want to play, let’s play another day—” Before he could finish speaking, Jiaren Wu bent down and covered his mouth with hers.
After kissing him for a while, she bit his lips.

She lay sideways in Wei Shuyi’s embrace and touched his chest before saying, “Behave yourself and sleep.
You still have work tomorrow.”

Wei Shuyi was speechless.

He had a police wife at home, and she was so energetic when sleeping.

Wei Shuyi’s mind was filled with strange thoughts as he finally fell asleep.
When he woke up in the morning, he discovered that the handcuffs were long gone.
His hands weren’t numb either.
It seemed that Jiaren Wu had removed them not long after he was handcuffed.
He didn’t change his clothes and left the room to see that she was cooking noodles.

The noodles she cooked tasted pretty good.

Wei Shuyi ate a bowl and said, “I couldn’t tell.
You cook pretty well.
You used to cook often?”

“Okay.” In the past, she had to take care of Wu Jiacheng.
Jiaren Wu had to learn how to cook.

Wei Shuyi suggested, “How about this? In the future, if any of us have time to cook, I’ll cook breakfast during the holidays.
You cook lunch, and I’ll cook dinner.”

Jiaren Wu said, “That won’t do.
It has to be changed.”

“Yeah?”

“In a few years, we’ll have a child.
Let him make breakfast.
I’ll make lunch, and you cook dinner.
In the morning, we can sleep in.”

Wei Shuyi was dumbfounded.

It’s too tough being our child!
