Chapter 315 - What Am I To You?
Chapter 315: What Am I To You?
Wei Shuyi still had lessons in the afternoon. He drank only one glass of red wine during the meal and did not touch any other wine.
After lunch, he went to carry the two adorable children. Finally, he drove back to school.
The wind was a little strong today, so he tightened his clothes and slowly walked toward the office building. Students passed by him from time to time, discussing gossip and their interests as they walked. Wei Shuyi heard someone mention a game and started listening closely
“I like Li Zeyan. Don’t focus on his arrogant personality and vicious tongue. He’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Typical, saying something and doing another! I especially like what he said. ‘If you encounter any problems in the future, you should look for me instead of foolishly handling it by yourself. Don’t you feel that your boyfriend power is off the charts!’”
When the other girl heard these words, she scoffed and said, “Xu Mo is good. ‘There are many things that I can’t do. But when I want to do something, no matter what method I use, I will do it.’ Don’t you think that this Xu Mo is more interesting than a bossy CEO like Li Zeyan?”
The girls were about to quarrel with each other.
Wei Shuyi listened quietly, his head full of confusion. Xu Mo and Li Zeyan? Is this a new boy group? Or are they characters from some idol drama?
Young people nowadays are obsessed with chasing after idols. They are hopeless.
When the group arrived at the office, Wei Shuyi went to make coffee. As he passed by Teacher Xu, he saw her playing games on her phone. He glanced at her and thought that she was reading a comic. He said, “What comic is this? The characters look pretty good.”
Wei Shuyi had learned how to draw before. When he was in his second year of middle school, he had bought a drawing board and drawn some random comics. In other words, he did it for fun.
Teacher Xu looked up, adjusted her glasses, and replied, “It’s not a comic. It’s a mobile game.”
“Oh?” Wei Shuyi looked down and realized that it was indeed different from the comics he had read before.
Teacher Xu said again, “It’s a dating game. Many girls like to play this now. My niece also plays it, and she especially likes Li Zeyan. I’ve only played for a short while, and I found it quite fun. Speaking of which, Teacher Wei, you’re like the main character in a comic. You shouldn’t be interested in this kind of game, right?”
When Wei Shuyi heard Li Zeyan’s name, he felt that it was familiar. After thinking for a while, he realized wasn’t he the person that the students downstairs were discussing?
So it was a mobile game.
He smiled and said, “I used to play games too.”
“League of Legends and Honor of Kings?” Many boys loved playing these games.
Wei Shuyi shook his head and said, “I don’t play that. I play a very old game called ‘Parallel World.’” Seeing Teacher Xu’s puzzled expression, Wei Shuyi explained further. He said, “It’s a relatively unpopular game. It can be said to be a nurturing game. That is, every player can choose a profession. This profession exists in real life. If you choose that profession, then in the game, your every move will be closely related to your profession.
“If you’re a nurse, there will be a lot of knowledge related to nurses in the game. If you’re a police officer, there will also be knowledge related to the police. Let’s put it this way, instead of calling it a game, it’s more like a leisure software with exams and learning characteristics.”
At that time, Wei Shuyi had chosen to be a doctor in the game. In the game, he could go to work to save people, participate in doctor exams, and even marry a wife and have children.
Therefore, not many people knew about this game.
Indeed, Teacher Xu had never heard of this game before. She said, “Life is already quite tiring. Then, you also have to take exams and work in the game. No wonder no one plays it.”
“Yeah.”
Wei Shuyi returned to his seat with a cup of coffee in his hands. He thought about the things that happened when he played games in his middle and high school years, but his lips remained flat.
In this class, Wei Shuyi had to teach the students about heart failure. To talk about heart failure, he had to first teach the students how the blood in the entire cardiovascular system circulated.
When Jiaren Wu called him, he was talking about the most basic content.
“Everyone, look at this picture. On this side of the left ventricle, there are two types of blood vessels. One is red, and the other is green. This red blood vessel represents fresh arterial blood, and this blue one represents blood from the veins.
“Everyone, take a closer look. This is arterial blood, not an artery. The concept of arterial blood is different from an artery, and its name reflects it. What is arterial blood? It means that the blood has a higher oxygen content than usual blood. The artery is the blood vessel that is connected to an organ and provides fresh blood to this organ tissue….”
The phone in his pocket vibrated. There must be a message.
Wei Shuyi’s expression remained unchanged as he continued his lecture.
Knowing that he was in class, Jiaren Wu stopped sending him messages to harass him.
After class, Wei Shuyi took away the piece of chalk that he had not used up. He took his book and computer, then went straight to his office. He went to the washroom to wash the chalk dust off his fingers and blow-dry his hands. Only then did Wei Shuyi take out his phone and check the messages.
He was not surprised to see Jiaren Wu’s message.
The moment his phone rang, he had guessed that it was Jiaren Wu.
Little Gangster: [Mr. Wei, what am I to you?]
Wei Shuyi felt a little helpless, but a smile appeared in his eyes. He replied to the message.
Jiaren Wu had arrived at Binjiang Medical University on a bus. She was sitting on a stone chair beside the hospital. When she heard her phone ring, she quickly took it out and saw that Mr. Wei had replied with one word.
[Pig.]
She frowned. Wei Shuyi sent her another message.
This time, he added extra words.
Wei Shuyi: [You’re my pig.]
Jiaren Wu was both angry and amused at the same time. Even if I’m a pig, I’m still one raised by you, Wei Shuyi, right?
He’s finally willing to admit that I’m his.
This is a small improvement.
Jiaren Wu replied: [Pig farmer. Do you mind having dinner with the pigs in your farm?]
Soon, Wei Shuyi replied: [Are we eating in the pigpen or going out to eat?]
The pigpen was Wei Shuyi’s home.
[Going out to eat.]
[Okay.]
Wei Shuyi went back to his office and packed his laptop and pen into his bag. He carried his things to the parking garage. He had just reached the car when a blue shadow suddenly attacked him. It jumped onto his back and covered his eyes.
“Mr. Wei, guess who I am.” When the person spoke, her mouth was still on the skin on the back of his neck. She kissed him.
Wei Shuyi’s body went numb.
Only Jiaren Wu was such a hooligan.
“Pig.”
“Tsk.” Jiaren Wu jumped down from his back.
Wei Shuyi opened the car door and subconsciously placed his briefcase on the front passenger seat. Jiaren Wu glanced at the front passenger seat and silently opened the back door of the car and sat inside. Wei Shuyi fastened his seatbelt and turned back to look at her. He saw that she had worn a very ladylike grey lace dress with a sky blue coat and a small grey beret. He couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her.
Jiaren Wu had also put on makeup today. Her makeup was light, but she had put on red lipstick.
Noticing that Wei Shuyi was sizing her up, she gave him a wink and placed her left leg on her right leg. She could not help but puff out her chest and perk up her butt as she asked him, “Why? Is this the first time you realized that I’m very good-looking?
“Where’s your face?”
Wei Shuyi retracted his gaze and drove out of the garage. He did not look at her again.
Jiaren Wu was a little disappointed.
She played with her small shoulder bag with her hands, but her head was looking out of the window.
Binjiang Medical University was one of the schools that were part of Binjiang City University. Outside Binjiang Medical University were other nearby universities. The famous Binjiang University main campus was just opposite the Medical University. Outside the car were many students. Jiaren Wu looked at the fashionable students with a mischievous smile and suddenly said, “Actually, the university I used to dream of was Binjiang Medical University.”
Wei Shuyi was a little surprised and finally turned to look at her.
“As a nurse?”
Jiaren Wu said, “Doctor.”
Jiaren Wu was smiling meaningfully.
Wei Shuyi couldn’t tell whether she was telling the truth or lying.
He continued the conversation and asked, “Then why did you become a police officer?”
Jiaren Wu turned around and looked at Wei Shuyi with a complicated and disappointed expression. Unfortunately, Wei Shuyi was driving and didn’t see her. However, he heard Jiaren Wu say, “I used to take drugs.”
Screech!
Wei Shuyi was frightened and stopped the car in the middle of the road.
He turned around, only to realize that she had fooled him.
Wei Shuyi glared at her and continued driving. He didn’t want to delay the car behind him.
After laughing for a while, Jiaren Wu stopped smiling and said, “There are too many doctors, and there are also many capable doctors. You’re pretty good. I can’t even compare to you, so it’s better if I don’t become a doctor and embarrass myself. That’s why I became a police officer.”
“Then why did you enter the Forbidden Drug Department and become a narcotics officer?”
Jiaren Wu pursed her lips and quickly smiled again. She still looked carefree as she said, “This profession is highly dangerous. A partner without any relatives or friends like me is perfect. Even if I die, my family won’t be sad.”
Wei Shuyi couldn’t laugh.
He felt a little upset.
He didn’t say anything else.
Jiaren Wu also looked out of the car.
The car stopped outside a buffet restaurant.
Jiaren Wu glanced at Wei Shuyi and said, “Why are you at a buffet restaurant? This buffet restaurant is quite expensive. It costs 300 yuan per person. I came here last time.”
Wei Shuyi glanced at her and said inexplicably, “It’s fine as long as you eat well.”
Jiaren Wu pondered for a moment and felt that his words implied she had a huge appetite.
The restaurant was on the second floor, so they went straight upstairs.
Jiaren Wu was walking in front of Wei Shuyi. Wei Shuyi’s gaze fell on a small acrylic figurine hanging from Jiaren Wu’s bag. It was a little girl in a white robe with her hair tied up.
Wei Shuyi reached out to hold the figurine.
Jiaren Wu lowered her head and stared at him.
Wei Shuyi played with the little girl and asked Jiaren Wu, “Where did you buy this? I’ll buy one too.”
Disappointment flashed across Jiaren Wu’s eyes when she heard this. She snatched the accessory back and said, “It’s the only one. You can’t buy it.”
“It looks good.”
When Wei Shuyi saw Jiaren Wu put the figurine into her bag as if she were afraid that he would steal it or snatch it away, he felt a little embarrassed. Rubbing his nose, he asked, “Why is it so precious?”
Jiaren Wu snorted and continued climbing the stairs, ignoring him.
Wei Shuyi stared at the zipper where the figurine was hanging from with a slight frown.
Why do I feel that this hanging figurine looks a little familiar? Is it someone from an anime? Wei Shuyi was also a person who read comics in his second year of middle school. It had been too long, and he couldn’t recall it at the moment, so he stopped thinking about it.
Jiaren Wu only had a bowl of instant noodles for lunch, so she was hungry.
Wei Shuyi was paying for the buffet anyway, so she ate freely.
Wei Shuyi was speechless when he saw her eating so much. He thought: Based on her appetite, I should cook at least two bowls of rice in the future…
Wei Shuyi’s expression changed.
What was he thinking about?
He was already thinking about their future…
“What’s wrong?” Seeing the change in Wei Shuyi’s expression, Jiaren Wu thought that something was wrong with Wei Shuyi.
Wei Shuyi shook his head and said that he was fine. Seeing that Jiaren Wu had finally eaten her fill, he stopped eating and began to leisurely eat fruits and play with his phone. He found it funny and asked her, “You said you like me?”
“Yeah.”
Wei Shuyi nodded and said, “Shouldn’t girls be reserved in front of the guy they like and pay attention to their image?” He stared at Jiaren Wu. The more he looked at her, the more complicated his gaze became. “You don’t have any refined image in front of me.”
Without even looking up, Jiaren Wu replied. “That’s why there are so many divorces after marriage.”
Wei Shuyi was speechless.
Jiaren Wu put down the orange in her hand and wiped her fingers on the tissue. She said, “If a girl keeps holding it when she’s in a relationship, that might indeed leave a good impression on the man. The couple might have a better impression of each other, and they get married. But after they get married, when the woman can’t hold it in anymore, she will gradually reveal her true colors. When the man finds out that his wife is different from the person he knows, he’ll change his mind and eventually divorce her.
“Actually, it’s not that the person you love has changed. It’s just that you didn’t see her true appearance at all. I’m a person who can’t control myself, so I might as well let go right from the start and be who I truly am. Once you get used to it, you might even appreciate my unrestrained beauty.”
When Jiaren Wu started to explain herself, she was able to reason things out.
