Blood continued to flow out of Zhang Yang’s body.

  Wei Shuyi was highly focused. Even though the temperature in the operating theater was low, a layer of sweat still appeared on his back. He could feel the sweat rolling off his body, but his posture did not change. Only his hands and eyes moved.

  Using the microneedle, he stitched up all the wounds.

  “Cut the wire.”


  Liu Jun cut the wire.

  Wei Shuyi took a step back. “You do the rest.” He said this to Liu Chong.

  “Yes, Doctor Wei.”


  Wei Shuyi stood at the side and watched Liu Chong clean up. Occasionally, he would glance at the detector.

  In the end, Liu Chong said to the nurse, “Ah Zhu, check it. If there’s no problem, I’ll close the wound.”


  The nurse immediately checked the number of gauze and other related things. After confirming that there were no missing pieces, she nodded at Liu Chong. “There’s no problem, Doctor Liu. You can start suturing now.”


  Liu Chong acknowledged it and finally stitched up the wound on Zhang Yang’s chest.

  Wei Shuyi looked at Zhang Yang’s wound and said, “Not bad.”


  It was unknown whether he was praising Liu Chong or himself.

  “Transfer the patient to the ICU ward later. I won’t be leaving tonight. Inform me if there’s an emergency.”


  “Okay.”


  Wei Shuyi took off his glasses and revealed a relieved smile.

  After leaving the operating theater, the first person Wei Shuyi saw was not Jiaren Wu, but… Yuan Jun.

  Yuan Jun stood at the entrance of the operating theater, blocking Jiaren Wu and Huang Junsheng behind him. When he saw Wei Shuyi come out, the first thing he asked was, “Coward, is your hand shaking?”


  Wei Shuyi had already taken off his gloves. When he heard that, he clenched his fist and punched Yuan Jun on the shoulder. Yuan Jun staggered from the punch. Jiaren Wu thought that the two of them were fighting. She then saw Wei Shuyi lift Yuan Jun’s collar with both hands and reply. “Yuan Xiao’er, your senior brother is back!”


  Yuan Jun scoffed and pushed his hand away. “Piss off!” Then, he ran off quickly.

  Only then did Jiaren Wu approach Wei Shuyi. She observed him first, then tiptoed to wipe the sweat off his forehead. After that, she asked him the result, “How is it?”


  Wei Shuyi replied, “Fortunately, I didn’t disappoint you.”


  Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

  Jiaren Wu quickly planted a kiss on his lips. “You’ve worked hard.” Her tone was filled with pride.

  Her words made Wei Shuyi feel that the three hours of persistence was worth it.

  “Not at all.”


  Wei Shuyi took off his surgical cap. At this moment, Huang Junsheng walked over to them. He patted Wei Shuyi’s shoulder and remained silent for a while before saying, “Jiaren found us a lucky star.”


  Wei Shuyi was stunned for a moment, then he smiled warmly.

  “It’s my duty.”


  Kang Hui and Tang Jiangyun also walked over. The two of them didn’t say much and bumped their fists with Wei Shuyi.

  “Thanks!”


  They treated Dr. Wei as their brother.

  Wei Shuyi smiled and raised his head. He saw Jiaren Wu looking at him, her eyes shining brightly.

  His heart warmed, and he said to Kang Hui and the rest, “Lend her to me for a while.”


  “Feel free to borrow her!”


  Kang Hui pushed Wei Shuyi toward Jiaren Wu, then smiled slyly. Tang Jiangyun was still as wooden as before.

  The couple left the floor of the operating theater side by side. As soon as they entered the elevator, Wei Shuyi did not care if there were surveillance cameras in the elevator. He directly held Jiaren Wu’s head, pressed her against the wall of the elevator, and lowered his head to kiss her. This kiss was a little emotional.

  Something that had been suppressed for a long time had finally popped up.

  Jiaren Wu was very cooperative. If the elevator had not opened on the first two floors and a doctor had walked in, the two of them would have continued.

  The doctor who entered the elevator was a little embarrassed. He was quite old, probably almost 50 years old. He was a doctor from the Orthopedics Department downstairs. His surname was Li. Doctor Li knew Wei Shuyi. In the hospital, anyone who had worked for more than three years would recognize this once deep-sea pearl.

  Seeing that someone was coming, the couple finally separated. Both of them looked calm.

  Doctor Li, on the other hand, blushed.

  Doctor Li awkwardly looked at the elevator door. He was relieved when someone else came in at the next level.

  When the elevator reached the first floor, Doctor Li walked out of the elevator with the rest. Before leaving, he said to Wei Shuyi, “Ah Wei, even though you youngsters are quite open-minded now, you still have to control yourself.”?

  Wei Shuyi blushed.

  The elevator closed, and the two left inside it continued to head downstairs.

  “Where are we going?”


  Jiaren Wu thought that they were going to the underground parking lot.

  Wei Shuyi said, “Accompany me for supper. I haven’t had dinner yet.”


  “It has been hard on you.”


  The hospital’s supper time was 11:30 pm. It was past midnight right now. The cafeteria auntie had already started cleaning up the kitchen.

  Wei Shuyi still shamelessly asked her to cook two more bowls of wonton noodles.

  “Ah Wei!” The canteen auntie exclaimed in surprise, “You haven’t been to our canteen for many years.”


  Wei Shuyi said, “I’ve been busy for the past few years and haven’t been in the hospital.”


  “Oh, so you’re coming back to work?”


  “I suppose.”


  The canteen auntie cooked wontons and seasoned the soup at the same time. She took some time to glance at Jiaren Wu beside him. “Is this your wife?” Wei Shuyi was already 29. The canteen auntie would never think that someone as handsome as Wei Shuyi would still be unmarried. When she saw Jiaren Wu, she naturally treated her as his wife.

  Jiaren Wu tilted her body to the side. She looked at Wei Shuyi with a sheepish smile, waiting for his reply.

  Wei Shuyi paused before saying, “Future wife.”


  “Hey! You have to invite me to your wedding.”


  “Naturally.”


  The portion of wontons that the auntie had cooked for them was slightly more than what others would get. The soup bowl was full.

  Wei Shuyi gave her six yuan per bowl.

  The couple found a seat and sat down. Jiaren Wu had been busy the entire night, and she finished the bowl of wonton in a few minutes. Wei Shuyi wasn’t particularly hungry, but he was excited. After he ate a few mouthfuls, his excitement subsided and his eating speed slowed down.

  When Jiaren Wu was done eating, Wei Shuyi felt that she could have another bowl. He used a spoon to give half of his wontons to her.

  Jiaren Wu silently stared at Wei Shuyi. Wei Shuyi didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. He frankly said, “I care about you. Hurry up and eat.”


  Jiaren Wu picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.

  “You guys went to catch drug dealers tonight?”


  The mission had already ended, and there was nothing that would still have to be kept a secret. Therefore, Jiaren Wu nodded and said, “We made a trip to the suburbs. We were quite successful, but a fish still escaped the net.”


  “They had guns?”


  “Yeah.”


  “They’re quite daring.”


  “These people are willing to do anything for the sake of money!” Jiaren Wu clearly didn’t wish to speak any further.

  She changed the topic and asked Wei Shuyi, “Are you going back tonight?”


  “No, I’m staying at the hospital. I can go back only after Zhang Yang passes the critical period.” He put down his chopsticks and picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth. His actions were rather elegant. After he was done, he gave Jiaren Wu a concerned look. “What about you?”


  “I’ll take care of Brother Yang here and accompany you.”


  “There’s nowhere else to sleep, right? I’ll sleep in my teacher’s room. There’s only one single bed in his room, and it’s very narrow. Only the next person can sleep on it.” He felt quite sorry for Jiaren Wu. “You’d better go back and sleep. You’re tired too.”


  Jiaren Wu shook her head.

  Wei Shuyi frowned. “Then where are you sleeping?”


  She said matter-of-factly, “On you.”


  Wei Shuyi was speechless.

  “Alright.” Wei Shuyi actually agreed.

  Jiaren Wu raised an eyebrow, thinking that Wei Shuyi was too easy to talk to.

  When the two of them returned to the ward area, Zhang Yang had already been sent to the ICU ward. Huang Junsheng, Kang Hui, and the rest were standing outside the ward, watching him. When they saw Zhang Yang’s body covered in medical instruments, all of them felt uncomfortable.

  Huang Junsheng narrowed his eyes as he stared at the oxygen mask on Zhang Yang’s face. He seemed to have thought of something as his expression turned cold.

  Kang Hui passed a bottle of mineral water to him. “I bought it myself. Captain Huang, have some water.”


  Huang Junsheng nodded, opened the cap, and drank half a bottle in one go.

  The night was quiet, and the occasional sound of a nurse walking could be heard.

  After Jiaren Wu ran off with Wei Shuyi and Tang Jiangyun went to the toilet, Kang Hui whispered into Huang Junsheng’s ear, “Who is that person?”


  Huang Junsheng’s eyes lit up.

  “Ai Hui, what did you say?” Huang Junsheng’s tone was stern.

  Kang Hui snorted and said to Huang Junsheng, “Don’t beat around the bush, Captain Huang. Today’s matter isn’t so coincidental. We decided to take down a drug den at the last minute, and those two leaders left early. Someone must’ve tipped them off, right?” Kang Hui turned his head and stared at Huang Junsheng’s cold and hard face. He asked word by word, “Who’s that mole?”


  The police would send people to the enemy camp to be spies. Naturally, the enemy would also tempt the people within the police. There would always be people who could not resist the temptation and fall into the enemy’s trap.

  Huang Junsheng suspiciously looked at Kang Hui.

  Kang Hui’s expression froze. He was in disbelief. He asked Huang Junsheng, “Are you suspecting me?”


  Huang Junsheng placed his finger on the bottle of mineral water and softly said, “Ai Hui, at this time, other than myself, everyone else is a suspect.” When he said this, his tone was sorrowful. This feeling of not only dealing with the enemy but also being on guard against the people around him was really unpleasant.

  All of Kang Hui’s anger was extinguished by Huang Junsheng’s words.

  He leaned against the wall station and wanted to smoke. When he felt around in his pocket, he realized there was no cigarette there. It made him remember that this was a hospital; he had to let it go completely. Sighing, he said, “It’s pretty nasty.”


  Huang Junsheng remained silent.

  He remained silent as he thought about it. Occasionally, he would look up at the people in the ward, deep in thought.

  There was indeed only a single bed in Elder Xu’s office. Since Elder Xu rarely stayed in the ward, he did not even have a blanket. Wei Shuyi had no choice but to call the supermarket downstairs and rent two blankets and a single bed.

  When Jiaren Wu saw that the uncle from the supermarket had brought over a foldable single bed, warmth filled her eyes.

  The couple put the two beds and lay on the bed together.

  Wei Shuyi suddenly said, “Tomorrow is Saturday. Do you have work tomorrow?”


  “I’m on leave tomorrow.”


  Jiaren Wu then asked, “What do you want me to do?”


  Wei Shuyi replied, “Xiao Sheng’s children will be having their hundred-day photoshoot tomorrow. I bought a few sets of baby clothes for the photoshoot. Help me send them over and ask them to take a few more photos for me.”


  “Sure!”


  “Sleep!”


  “Yeah!”


  That night, Zhang Yang’s condition remained stable.

  The next morning, Jiaren Wu discovered that Kang Hui was still sitting on a chair outside the ward. He hadn’t slept at all. She was surprised. “Senior Brother, you’ve been guarding here all night?”


  Kang Hui looked tired, but it was obvious that what made him tired was not staying up late, but something else.

  He rubbed his eyes, stood up, and smiled at Jiaren Wu. “Yeah, I’m worried about Ah Yang.”


  “What do you want to eat in the morning? I’ll buy it for you downstairs.”


  “Porridge.” After thinking for a while, Kang Hui said, “Bring some pickled vegetables. I feel like there’s no taste in my mouth.”


  “Okay.”


  Jiaren Wu bought three portions of breakfast and sent one to Dr. Xu’s office. Wei Shuyi was still asleep. She left the breakfast on the table and didn’t disturb him. Carrying her breakfast with Kang Hui, Jiaren Wu went to Zhang Yang’s ward.

  The two of them sat on the chairs outside the ward and ate.

  Kang Hui looked at the porridge in the bowl and made a joke. He said, “I can actually find rice grains in this porridge. Looks like it’s a bowl of porridge with a heart.”


  Jiaren Wu replied, “It’s also a hospital with a heart.”


  Kang Hui ate a spoonful of porridge before saying, “Yes.” Zhang Yang’s condition had been too complicated and sudden. If they were in another hospital, he would probably be dead.

  “We owe Mr. Wei.”


  Jiaren Wu said again, “It’s alright. He’s the son-in-law of our department. It’s only right.” Since he was her man, he had become the son-in-law of the department. This was his duty.

  Kang Hui shook his head and sighed. “You’re really lucky.”


  “Yeah, I am…”
