Kang Hui said, “I have a gift that I want. Do you want to give it to me?”

“What?” She was already prepared to hear him ask for more.

Kang Hui said, “The gift I want is for my little junior sister to be happy.”

Beauty Wu was stunned for a moment before she smiled uneasily.

She cleared her throat and pushed his shoulder. “It’s mushy.” Then she rubbed the shoulder of her other hand with her free hand.

“By the way, what does your girlfriend do? She’s really good-looking.”

Kang Hui blushed and said awkwardly, “Fortunately, she’s quite good-looking.” His tone was filled with pride and smugness. “She’s an artist.”

Beauty Wu suddenly said, “Then you’re the illustrator.”

Kang Hui frowned and took a few seconds to understand what she meant.

He was speechless and reprimanded her softly, “Female hooligan!”

Beauty Wu shrugged. “You found your artist,” she said. “I haven’t found my Zhi Zunbao [1. Zhi Zunbao is a character in A Chinese Odyssey] yet. Sigh…”

Kang Hui wanted to say that her Zhi Zunbao was in America and she could look for him.

However, when he thought of those troubling past events, he shut up.

It was Beauty Wu who pushed Wei Shuyi away. She had once brought him danger and almost cost him his life. Beauty Wu loved him, so she naturally couldn’t bear to provoke him again.

Kang Hui took a sip of coffee and said, “The coffee is so bitter. I’ll treat you to milk someday.”

Beauty Wu nodded and said, “I want something hot.”

“Sure.”

After work, Beauty Wu rode her motorcycle home slowly. When she passed by the mall entrance where she met Wei Shuyi last time, her mood turned gloomy.

She could control herself from seducing Wei Shuyi, but that did not mean that she was willing to see Wei Shuyi and other women being lovey-dovey. As long as she thought about how the man who had slept with her through the night was hugging other women to sleep at night, she felt terrible.

On the way home, the way Wei Shuyi spoke to the girl in the yellow dress kept flashing across her mind.

She was in a bad mood.

She wanted to eat pig trotters.

After buying pig trotters and a handful of vegetables at the market, Beauty Wu bought some rice and went home. It had been a long time since she had cooked at home, so she had to wash the pots, bowls, and pans in the kitchen carefully. She first put the pig trotters in the voltage pot to stew, then went to wash the pots and pans. After washing them, she planned to make braised trotters. When she opened the cabinet, she realized that there was no cooking wine or soy sauce.

With the corners of her mouth curled up, she thought that her life was really tough. Even if she wanted to make braised trotters, life would bully her as she did not have soy sauce.

Beauty Wu took off her apron and ran to take a shower. She changed into a set of beautiful clothes before leaving home with money. Even if she was going to buy soy sauce, she had to dress beautifully.

There was a small supermarket outside the district. Beauty Wu turned into the small shop and bought everything she needed. When she passed by the counter, she took a box of chewing gum. She carried the shopping bag, opened the chewing gum, and threw it into her mouth. As she chewed, she went home.

The sky was already dark. The moment Beauty Wu entered the corridor of the district, the sensor lights were switched on.

She had a habit when she went upstairs. Every time she reached the first floor, she liked to shout proudly. Then, she saw the sensor light turn on and felt a sense of accomplishment.

She walked all the way to the fifth floor smugly.

When she saw Wei Shuyi leaning against his door, Beauty Wu was speechless.

Wei Shuyi wasn’t wearing a shirt today. He was wearing a rare denim long-sleeved top, jeans, and a pair of flat shoes. Beauty Wu had never seen Wei Shuyi in a denim shirt before, so she couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

There was a suitcase beside the man, and there was a shipping label on it.

Wei Shuyi had just gotten off the plane and came here.

Why had he rushed over to see her?

Beauty Wu stood on the cement stairs between the fourth and fifth floors, feeling a sense of weakness in her heart.

However, she endured it. She was a police officer, and she could not be afraid!

Wei Shuyi stood above her and sized her up from top to bottom. Beauty Wu was wearing a black halter top that revealed her navel, and a beige gauze skirt. Under the skirt, her calves were fair and smooth. She looked even more slender in high heels.

Even when she bought a bottle of soy sauce, she dressed like she was on a date.

Beauty Wu felt uncomfortable under Wei Shuyi’s unrestrained gaze.

She actually felt her ears burning.

It was like she saw a ghost.

“Mr. Wei, you… you’re back in China again?” Just as she finished speaking, she realized that Wei Shuyi had suddenly retracted his gaze.

“Yes.” Wei Shuyi’s voice was cold. There was no long-lost distance between them.

Beauty Wu did not know what to say to him.

She pretended to be calm and walked upstairs.

Beauty Wu inserted the key into the keyhole and lowered her head seriously. At this moment, the person’s gentle but seductive voice suddenly rang in her ears. “Miss Wu, you took the wrong key.”

Beauty Wu lowered her head in surprise and saw that she was opening the door with a small key in her hand. This small key was used to open the mailbox cabinet downstairs.

She calmly replaced the key. This time, there was no mistake.

The door opened and Beauty Wu pushed it open before walking into the house.

Wei Shuyi was about to follow him into the house when Beauty Wu turned around and looked up at him. “Mr. Wei, do you have something to say? If there’s nothing, I won’t entertain you.” She said this quite tactfully. Anyone who wasn’t stupid could tell that she was chasing him away.

Wei Shuyi nodded solemnly and said to her, “Yes.”

Beauty Wu’s expression seemed to change, as if she was surprised.

“Then do you want to come in and sit for a while?” Her tone was really not enthusiastic.

Wei Shuyi said, “I want to go in and sleep for a while.”

It wasn’t an illusion. Wei Shuyi had really changed. He was no longer the Wei Shuyi that Beauty Wu was familiar with. He had become a hooligan.

How was Beauty Wu supposed to answer him?

After a moment of shock, Beauty Wu came back to her senses. She smiled faintly at Wei Shuyi and said in a troubled tone, “This is not convenient. I…”

“Why not? Do you have someone at home?” Before she could finish speaking, Wei Shuyi asked.

“…No.”

Wei Shuyi was a little confused. “What’s not convenient about that?”

Beauty Wu didn’t plan to continue beating around the bush with him. She couldn’t figure out Wei Shuyi’s plan, so she simply said bluntly, “It’s just because there’s no one around that it’s inconvenient. It’s not good for a man and a woman to live together.”

Wei Shuyi looked at her deeply and hid the emotions that were about to erupt from his heart. His expression was deliberately calm.

He said softly, “I just got off the plane. My house hasn’t been cleaned up yet. Let me stay over for the night. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you.”

He had already said that he was so pitiful. If she still guarded the door and did not let him in, it would appear that Beauty Wu was being petty.

Beauty Wu thought for a moment before taking her hand off the doorknob.
