Chapter Ten

  "Does the people's prosecutor also drive after drinking?" Zheng Wei sat beside Lin Jing in the driver's seat and smelled a faint scent of alcohol on him.

  Lin Jing shrugged, "I don't like drinking, but now the atmosphere is like this, it seems that if you haven't had a drink, things can't be done. To get along with all kinds of people, socializing can also be said to be part of work. In the few years since returning home, I've slowly gotten used to it, after drinking, I'll eventually go home anyway, just reminding myself to drive slowly."

  Zheng Wei jokingly said, "May I understand it as you are compromising for the sake of the revolutionary cause?"

  Lin Jing said, "Justice is relative."

  Zheng Wei listened and thought of Zhou Qu's words from earlier that day, lowering his head and saying, "There are many things I just can't understand."

  "Some things are better left unexplained." Lin Jing said calmly.

  "Then I will be foolish forever."

  Lin Jing smiled, "I'm also conflicted. Sometimes when I see you acting like an adult, handling many things with ease, I feel relieved. But at the same time, I still hope that you remain that fearless little dragon who doesn't fear heaven or earth."

  Zheng Wei also smiled along with her, "I have too many teachers, I had to grow up." There was a sentence she didn't say out loud: Lin Jing, how could you not have taught me a lesson either?

  He seemed to have guessed her unspoken meaning as well and didn't say anything more.

  He stopped the car at the entrance of Zhongjian Building as she had said. Zheng Wei said, "I'll go in and you can head back a bit earlier."

  He nodded, looked at her and suddenly said, "Actually, he's not suitable for you."

  Zheng Wei was stunned for a moment, "He, who is he?" The annoying seatbelt was stuck there and couldn't be opened no matter what.

  Lin Jing didn't respond to her pretended ignorance, stretched out his hand and gently pressed the living button for her, and the restraint was instantly released. However, in her heart, it seemed as if a thin and long rope was slowly entwining.

  "At first, I wasn't sure if he was the same person you met at your school three years ago, but from your behavior and expression, everything became clear. You still like him, but he's not someone you can entrust your life to."

  Even if she didn't think he was wrong, this wasn't what she wanted to hear right now, especially not from him. Zheng Wei's face changed color, "Lin Jing, what qualifications do you have to arrange my life?"

  She still doesn't like to beat around the bush, however Lin Jing obviously wasn't enraged, he calmly said: "I've seen more people than you. Chen Xiao Zheng may have some talent, but a person who doesn't even have a sense of security for themselves, how can they bring happiness to you."

  "He can't make me happy, but you can?" She sneered.

  "If you want to know the answer, why don't you try it?" He raised an eyebrow.

  "You're all so self-righteous, thinking you're doing what's best for me. Have any of you ever asked me how I want to live? Do you know what I want? Don't pretend like you care about my happiness when in reality you're all selfish! One or two of you can leave, that's fine, I won't blame you. But why come back after leaving? He's not a good person, and neither are you, Lin Jing. Can you honestly say that your return after three years was for my benefit? Our 17-year relationship, 17 years... I considered you the most important person in my life, aside from my parents. No one was closer to me than us. But you, because of a single awkward encounter, abandoned me for seven years. Just because we couldn't be lovers doesn't mean we had to cut ties completely! In the three years since your return, did you ever even ask how I was doing? Did you offer me a shoulder to lean on for just one minute? If so, we wouldn't be like this today. You say you'll leave because I'm happy? You're all too calculating, I'm scared of people like you who think they're so smart."

  She cried in a sorry state, Lin Jing stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, and was slapped away by her. "You can go, great prosecutor."

  She pushed the door out.

  Lin Jing said to her back, "You scolded me and it's all true. When I was young and impulsive, I thought many things were more important than emotions, but later I found out that we can only remember some small happiness, like when you fell down and cried in my arms, or when I practiced calligraphy and you played beside me with a face full of ink... I don't dare say that I've become great today, at least I'm sincere when I say I want to give you happiness. Weiwei, there are too many heartless people in this world, even if you find someone new, they may not be able to give you the life you want. I will leave, but you need to know that the person who sent you back today is not a prosecutor."

  Zheng Wei ran all the way back to her place, and suddenly she missed Mouse Treasure. A person is not as good as a mediocre cat, at least when you treat it well, it knows.

  The old corridor was pitch black, she fumbled her way up, took out the key to open the door, and heard footsteps in the distance. With the key half raised, she stood there with a hint of expectation for no reason. However, as the footsteps drew closer, it turned out to be just a neighbor returning late at night. She couldn't help but laugh at herself, shook her head, and went inside.

  After playing with Mouse Treasure for a while, washing up and opening the window to let the evening breeze blow on her face, Zheng Wei finally felt like she was alive again. When she opened the door to put out the trash bag, Mouse Treasure, who had been hiding in the shadows for some time, suddenly darted out of the half-open door with incredible agility.

  "Mouse Treasure, come back!" Zheng shouted anxiously.

  Rushing towards the free mouse treasure, it will listen to her call at this moment, and in a blink of an eye, it will slip away from the stairs without a shadow. Zheng Wei worried that it would not find its way back home, so she hastily put on some clothes and chased after it.

  Zheng Wei lived in the oldest apartment building in the big yard, and the dormitory area built by the company was not in the downtown area. Especially the one they lived in, behind which was a small hill that had not been developed yet. The small hill was overgrown with weeds, and what she worried about most was that Mouse would run there and never be found again in the dark.
