    In July 2005, Hu Jiaying resigned from her original law firm and joined Chenghe Law Firm.

    Chenghe Law Firm is not far from their residence, but it is quite a distance from the criminal investigation detachment where Zhao Yichen works.  In the sweltering heat of late July, the temperature did not drop even in the evening.  When he walked to the door of the law firm carrying the vegetables he had just bought from the market, he was already covered in sweat.  The thin shirt clung to my back and I could grab water with my hands.

    Hu Jiaying came out from get off work and looked up and saw him.  She stopped, stunned at the top of the steps.

    "I didn't go home a few days ago, so I changed my shift earlier today." Zhao Yichen lifted the seabass in his hand and smiled at her against the light, "I've paid my salary. I'll steam the fish for you when I go back."

    Finally, she smiled and ran down the steps to him, her high heels clicking lightly on the tile floor.

    Zhao Yichen noticed that her left foot was lame.  Even though he tried his best to hide it, he could still see it.  He frowned, and when she stopped in front of him, he stretched out his hand to support one of her arms and looked down at her feet: "What's wrong with the feet?"

    Carrying a few bags of vegetables in his other hand, she shook her head and gently kicked her left foot to show that it was okay, "The shoes hurt my feet a little, it's okay."

    You can clearly see the blood blisters on her heels from the edge of the back of her shoes. Zhao Yichen did not pierce her, but turned around and squatted down, tilting his head slightly to signal her, "Come up, I'll carry you."

    Knowing that she couldn¡¯t defeat him, Hu Jiaying could only sigh, took the remaining dishes from his hands, lay on his back, and wrapped her arms around his neck.  He put his hands through her knees and hugged her legs tightly, stood up and carried her to the station.  The two bags of vegetables on his chest were shaking slightly, and the water on the leaves wet his clothes.

    After working for several days in a row, coupled with the muggy weather, Zhao Yichen was originally tired and sleepy, and couldn't exert much energy.  But Hu Jiaying's thin arms were wrapped around his neck and her warm body was pressed against his back. He didn't feel hot or tired.  He thought maybe carrying his wife would not be tiring.

    Hu Jiaying didn¡¯t know what he was thinking, so she only asked in his ear: ¡°Have you eaten on time these days?¡±

    It¡¯s that soft-spoken yet somewhat serious tone again.

    Zhao Yichen smiled and lifted her up on his back with a little force, "I listened to you and at least eat one egg."

    "Eggs fill your stomach." She adjusted the position of her arms to prevent the fish and vegetables in her hands from touching his chest. "You work hard and often run out. So you should pay more attention to your health."

    "With you whispering in my ears all day long, it's hard not to pay attention." Many people coming and going around couldn't help but look at them a few more times, but he looked calm and did not forget to tease her.  Hu Jiaying didn't speak, and only responded with a faint hum from her throat.  He knew that she was not usually coquettish and would not argue with him in public. At most, she would just give him a blank look and tell him not to see her.

    Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, and then asked: "How is the new law firm?"

    "Very good. Maybe it's because everyone is relatively young and very motivated." Her arms were slightly folded, her voice became clearer unconsciously, and she seemed to have finally regained her energy, "Lawyer Qiao used to work in Beijing.  We also brought a set of operation models. When a case is received, everyone discusses and communicates together, and finally decides who will take it. In this way, newcomers can integrate quickly."

    "Yeah. The environment is important." After a pause, Zhao Yichen moved his head and touched the side of her face, "Are you still working on criminal cases recently?"

    After a moment of subconscious silence, Hu Jiaying nodded, "Most of them are minor crimes."

    After graduating, she became a lawyer and her work has been focused on criminal cases.  Agency fees are small and thus the income is not much.  This is part of the reason why the couple live in poverty.  Zhao Yichen knew that she felt guilty, but he didn't mind her choice.  He only cared about other things: "Intentional killing, rape, robbery, drug trafficking, poisoning, arson, explosion." Reciting everything he remembered in his mind, he walked towards the station slowly while carrying her on his back.  His smile has long faded, "There are mainly these eight types, but they are all serious crimes. Especially drug trafficking, which may involve gangs. You must be careful in these cases and remember safety first."

    Her slightly tense arms relaxed, and she let out a short sigh. She leaned close to his face and pressed her forehead to his sweaty forehead, and then said, "Okay."

    "What are you sighing for?" he asked her.

    "I can still remember safety first, unlike you." Hu Jiaying muttered to herself, clenching the plastic bag in her hand, "You policemen always run to wherever there is danger, and you have to be the first to rush."  Front."

    He said it like he was complaining, but his tone was so light that it made people feel angry.Zhao Yichen followed her words and said seriously: "That's why I admire you."

    "Me?" The soft hair on her temples brushed against his cheek, and the touch felt a little itchy.

    He raised the corners of his mouth, but his tone was still serious, "You know that I want to be a police officer, but you still dare to marry me as soon as you graduate."

    From his angle, Hu Jiaying¡¯s face cannot be seen.  But he could hear her breathing, and he also knew that she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

    "You said you wanted to be like your mother, living a steady life and living up to your conscience." Her voice was very close, light and steady, close to his ear and clearly audible, "I like you like this too."

    The car window was knocked, and the dream ended without warning.

    Zhao Yichen opened his eyes and was stung by the afterglow of the setting sun. He raised his hand to block it. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or had woken up.

    Fortunately, a muffled voice came from the car window: "Captain Zhao, right?"

    Turning around to follow the sound, he saw the energetic face of an old man.  She stood beside his car, her gray hair combed back and tied up, slightly bent over, and the clean sweatshirt she was wearing was soaked with sweat.  With her oval face, big eyes, plump arched lips, and thick earlobes, she was so easily identifiable that Zhao Yichen immediately recognized her: Wu Lixia.

    She took out the key and opened the car door. As soon as he got out of the car, the dog she was holding jumped into his arms.  It was a fluffy Labrador, with its tongue sticking out and its tail wagging, it got out from under the car door and pounced on him, snorting.

    Unexpectedly, the old man also led a dog. Zhao Yichen was slightly startled and caught the dog's front paws with both hands. The notepad he held in his hand before going to bed fell to the ground.

    "Wu Suo" He hurriedly looked up to find her, and couldn't help but be startled when he realized that his tone was as helpless as a child's.  However, Wu Lixia naturally tightened the dog leash and yelled "come back", causing the Labrador to retract its paws obediently and turn back to her feet while wagging its tail.

    She bent down to pick up the notepad, patted the fine gravel on it, and handed it to him with a smile: "Xiao Li must have taught you this! It's no longer Wu Suo, and you're still called that." After that,  Then he waved, took the dog, turned around and walked towards the residential building in front, "I received a call from Xiao Li. I was just walking the dog outside. Come on, go inside and sit down."

    Taking the notepad, Zhao Yichen followed her footsteps and was about to say something when he suddenly noticed a few lines of words written on the open page of the notepad.  He stopped talking as soon as he reached his lips, and looked down at the notepad in his hand.  It was the excerpt left by Hu Jiaying. It fell from my hand just now, and the cardboard on the back cover took off its leather cover, revealing the side that was originally sandwiched on the inside.

    It is a short poem.  Hu Jiaying's handwriting has no title, no author, and no English.

    I never said I love you

    I love you for your integrity, bravery and responsibility

    Love your simplicity

    I love your occasional smile

    I love you with an open and aboveboard life

    Loving you gives me courage

    Chasing the sun

    I never said I love you

    But you should know

    You are my sun

    I chase and hug

    I will devote my whole life

    Only for the end

    Die in the sun

    The orange light of the sunset covered the smooth surface of the hard paper, leaving a circle of light black shadow between his fingers.

    He paused, and the voice in his dream flashed through his mind again.

    "You said that you want to be like your mother, living a steady life and living up to your conscience."

    ??????? Gentle and smiling.

    ¡ª¡ª"I like you like this too."

    ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù

    Jiaying¡¯s last poem.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
