Chapter 44: The Water is Deep Enough to Draw Out the Stake from the Bottom of the Cauldron

  A gentle breeze brushed against my face, and my long hair danced in the air. I strode onto the bus, and just as I was about to step up, a hand reached out to help me with the luggage. I looked up to see it was Director Li.

  Li, the officer from the Narcotics Unit, the one who was present at the case of San's fall from the building.

  Different departments rarely meet, since he clearly rejected me through his brother last time, we haven't seen each other again. I think he deliberately avoided me. Actually, I didn't think much of it and just wanted to be friends without any awkwardness, but after that incident, things got a bit embarrassing.

  Mr. Li was very diligent and helped me find a seat, put away my luggage, and even asked the passenger next to me to switch seats so we could sit together.

  "Director Li, is there something you want to tell me?" I asked.

  "Let's be companions! I didn't expect that we are still fellow villagers, you get off at the second stop, I'll get off a bit further down, four stops down. Fellow villagers meet fellow villagers, both eyes are brimming with tears."

  The high-speed train is two stops away from home, so we can't really be considered fellow townspeople, right?

  However, it's not bad to have someone to chat with on the road. Li was in a poor mood, and when asked, he found out that his girlfriend had dumped him again, the same one as before, they broke up and then got back together, but recently she dumped him again.

  "It's not that I'm too busy with work, but I don't have time to accompany her. Originally, I thought it would be good to find a job that's less tiring, so the two of us could spend more time together, and someone has to cook at home anyway... But... Ah... Maybe people like us are destined to live in a household with no one cooking."

  "Yes. Every profession has its own difficulties, so it's common for people in the same industry to solve their marriage problems among themselves. Actors find partners within the film and television circle, doctors find nurses, and police officers find other police officers. Don't be too sad, Secretary Li..."

  "Just call me Li Hao, or Big Brother Hao if you like, hehe, haha..." said Secretary Li with a smile.

  "This doesn't sound right, 'What exactly do you want to say? You're usually a straightforward person, just tell me directly.'"

  Li Dianshi nodded and asked sincerely, "Why don't we just be together? To be honest, my family has some reservations about you being a female forensic doctor. I don't want to lie to you, but they're not particularly opposed to it either. Actually...I quite like you. I think that as long as we have feelings for each other, we can overcome any difficulties."

  Huh? What's going on? I'm a bit stunned all of a sudden.

  "Our home is also close, and it will be convenient for us to go back home together in the future. I think you should understand my situation: we have a house in the city with no mortgage; we have another house in the provincial capital which is almost paid off; my father is a police officer, and my mother is a teacher..."

  "Halt!" I hastily called out, "Let me say a word."

  "You said you'd say something, what's the question, ask and I'll answer, let's mutually increase our understanding, hehe, haha."

  "What can I say? All I can say are four words: 'Li, the beautiful scenery of spring and autumn.'"

  "What does it mean? Sorry, are you referring to the scenery of the four seasons in a year? Or...my character..."

  Li is indeed from a family of teachers, with a good foundation in literature. He knows the meaning of this word, "Spring flowers and autumn fruits" means that in spring, flowers bloom, and in autumn, fruits are harvested, metaphorically describing one's literary talent and moral character. Nowadays, it also refers to achieving success in studies.

  But I didn't mean it in its original sense.

  I want to say "this is one time, that's another", it's too hurtful; I want to say "when my sister was looking for you back then, where were you? Now you still think my sister should wait for you?", it's too excessive.

  To put it mildly, I took an extra pill this morning, and I really don't have the energy for that. "Li, recently I probably won't have plans in that regard, I want to focus more on my work."

  "Do you really like Wang Yong?" asked Li Gan Shi.

  My mood suddenly sank, Wang Yong is impossible now, his mission has ended and he has already left, it's just that the news is still being kept secret.

  Li said: "I know I'm not qualified to say this, you with others is fine, but you with Wang Yong... you two are not suitable."

  "What's wrong?" I asked.

  "It's very simple, for example I ask you: Is his real name really Wang Yong?"

  That's so right! It's absolutely killing it!

  I softly sighed: "That makes sense. Brother Li's words are indeed very reasonable!"

  Why is it so melancholy today, the bus has already started, but I don't have the excitement of going home on holiday. I looked back more than once, hoping to see Wang Yong's figure, if he could catch up with this bus, that would be great.

  He caught up with me in the last second and pulled my hand away, ordering me to follow him!

  Or he can come with me...

  And I really feel like someone is following me behind my back, it seems that I'm too eager for him to chase after me, which led to my misconception. I lowered my head in dismay, when did I start caring about this person so much? This isn't a good sign...

  "Director Li continued: 'I know I'm not qualified to say anything, but don't be sad after hearing this. People like him are just playing with you. Don't answer me immediately, think about it, I feel that we're quite a good match, hehe, haha...'"

  I had something on my mind and didn't respond to him, to be honest, I didn't know how to answer. Li, the officer, seeing that I wasn't speaking, particularly enthusiastically peeled an orange for me to eat, "Eat the orange, I just bought it, it's especially sweet, really, try one!"

  "This situation is really a bit hard to deal with," "Li, honestly, you don't have to be so polite to me..."

  "Really, peel it well, you eat this..."

  We were in the middle of a tug-of-war when suddenly a voice came from above our heads: "Excuse me, if you're not busy, I'd like to take my girlfriend away."

  "King Yong!?" Li Gan Shi exclaimed in surprise.

  I looked up and wondered if I was dreaming. It really was Wang Yong, his face stern as he grabbed my wrist, "Come with me."

  "Where are you going?"

  Wang Yong didn't say a word, grabbed my arm and dragged me away. I was secretly delighted - did this count as my dream coming true? Count it, count it! How could I bear not to laugh and appear a bit pitiful and at a loss?

  Throughout the whole process, Wang Yong had a straight face and not a hint of smile, but those handsome men who took the lead in pulling the female lead away were all very fierce, so I didn't bother to argue with him about it.

  After walking through two train cars, Wang Yong brought me to the end of a car where there were no seats, only standing room. He pushed me into the corner of the car and stood with his hand against the wall, blocking my way, pinning me between the wall and his broad chest, and lowered his head, staring at me with an unfathomable gaze.

  I looked at him timidly, my little heart beating wildly, and saying "butterflies in the stomach" was most fitting. Okay, I thought to myself, as long as you confess, I'll agree, even if I don't know your real name~, who made you both a "prince" and "domineering"?~~

  "Wallet, return it."

  "Huh? Wallet? Money... bag?" This is completely not following the plot ah, Korean dramas aren't like this waa...
