I'm only five years old, how come I've become the military region's darling?

Ruan Xiaochun felt nothing, and even wanted to laugh a little. She had been thinking about how to make Su Mei's pregnancy known to everyone, but unexpectedly, someone delivered a pillow when she was sleepy.

Now that Captain Xing heard it with his own ears, it saved her the trouble of revealing Su Mei's pregnancy.

Seeing the little guy's calm expression, Xing Yong composed himself and turned his attention back to Shi Qiaosong in front of him.

"And then?"

In the office, the incandescent light bulb swayed gently in the wind, distorting people's shadows.

Shi Qiaosong frowned slightly. "I saw that man leave and then went outside. Liao Jing seemed a little unhappy when she saw me. I asked her if she was by Song Qi's side when he died?"

"Liao Jing's expression was slightly unnatural at that moment, and I guessed that she was hiding something."

At this point, Shi Qiaosong's voice trembled violently, "I thought, I thought she was just standing by and watching me die, which I could understand. Anyone would be scared in that situation. But I didn't expect that Liao Jing seemed to be upset and crumpled the note into a ball and threw it at my face."

Shi Qiaosong would never forget the smug look on Liao Jing's face when she raised her eyebrows. "Shi Qiaosong, do you know how happy I was that Song Qi died? Why is it that she, someone from the same quagmire, is more carefree than me? Why does she get to have endless happiness? Why does she get to have a man like you? She's been dead for so many years, and you still think about her?"

"I really, really hate Song Qi. Do you know how she died? She died from stupidity. I told her I saw a child at the breach in the dam, and she actually believed me and rushed over despite the danger. I watched with my own eyes as she was swept away by the flood. Do you know that now that she's gone, no one will be competing with me for a nursing position in the county..."

Silent tears streamed from the man's eyes, dripping onto his white coat and leaving watermarks.

"Perhaps it was fate. I happened to have a paper cutter on me one day, and I just slit her throat. She couldn't believe it when she died."

Shi Qiaosong gave a wry smile. "Actually, even if you hadn't come looking for me, I would have turned myself in anyway. My hands are no longer fit to save people. I just didn't expect Captain Xing and you guys to be so capable."

"Captain Xing, I broke the law and I should be punished. Just sentence me however you deserve."

Xing Yong remained silent throughout, simply listening attentively.

Suddenly, Ruan Xiaochun, who was standing next to him, tiptoed and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Shi Qiaosong's eyes with her small hands.

Shi Qiaosong looked at the flower blooming at the edge of the handkerchief.

"winter jasmine?"

Xiaochun nodded and unfolded her handkerchief, revealing that the cluster of forsythia blossoms looked even more beautiful.

"Does Dr. Shi know him?"

"Qiqi knows it. She loves all kinds of flowers. She says that forsythia is the first flower to know that spring is coming. She often says that forsythia represents a bright future and a smooth journey."

Ruan Xiaochun's heart stirred. She looked at Ruan Jianhua sitting to the side, and her nose tingled with tears.

Xiaochun, Xiaochun, may your future be bright and may you always encounter spring.

Is this her father's eternal blessing to her?

Xing Yong looked at the little girl's reddened eyes and patted her head.

"Dr. Shi, violence is always the wrong thing to do."

This wasn't just a statement he made to Shi Qiaosong; he was also saying it to the young girl.

As Shi Qiaosong was being taken away, he suddenly remembered something: "Captain Xing, I didn't take Liao Jing's clothes pockets or her belongings."

Xing Yong's eyes held a hint of seriousness.

He also thought Shi Qiaosong wouldn't do that, since this case actually included another case.

But that's their business.

Xing Yong seemed to remember something and quickly caught up with her. "Dr. Shi, I hope you can tell our interrogation colleagues more details about what you overheard Liao Jing talking to that man."

"This matter is very important to that young comrade."

Shi Qiaosong immediately realized what was going on. "Captain Xing, I'm happy to cooperate with the police."

The once quiet clinic was now crowded with people, many of whom had their eyes red from crying as they watched Shi Qiaosong being taken away.

They couldn't understand why a good person would end up like this.

Ruan Xiaochun stood quietly in the morning sunlight. "Captain Xing, is Dr. Shi going to die?"

Xing Yong did not answer, but he saw the empathetic anger and distress in Xiao Chun's eyes.

This child is kind and compassionate; he gets upset by other people's misfortunes, and I feel sorry for him for no reason.

"Dr. Shi will tell you about Su Mei's pregnancy, and then you'll have a better chance of getting your things back."

"Captain Xing, could you please find someone to keep an eye on her? I'm afraid she might get an abortion."

Xing Yong nodded, "Don't worry, I'll have someone keep an eye on things here."

Xiaochun wasn't worried about being wrong.

Su Mei returned to her dormitory from the police station, her initial anger turning into silence.

She sat quietly at her desk, her mind filled with memories of her past life.

She even wondered if she had a past life.

Could it be just my imagination?

She knew very well that Fu Chen was capable of protecting her.

And now, she only has Fu Chen to rely on.

But aborting this child...

Su Mei gently placed her hand on her belly, her eyes filled with reluctance, recalling the image of her youngest son following behind her in her past life, calling her "Mom."

She rubbed her eyes hard.

Child, don't blame me. Blame Ruan Xiaochun. It was your sister who forced your mother to give up on you. If you have a spirit in heaven, go and take revenge on her.

Just then, the dormitory door was banged on loudly.

"Su Mei, you have a phone call."

Su Mei opened the door and saw the aunt in the reception room with an impatient and disdainful look on her face. Her heart clenched. "Go answer the phone. She's so annoying every day."

Su Mei felt aggrieved. She looked at many colleagues watching in the corridor. Although no one said anything or even laughed, she felt as if her heart was being fried in oil.

She ran to the reception room with her head down, and when she answered the phone, she was met with a barrage of insults.

"Su Mei, you vicious and wicked slut, you're letting outsiders bully my son and granddaughter. You just wait, I'll tear you to pieces."

The cursing from the phone almost echoed throughout the entire dormitory building. Su Mei slammed the phone down and looked at her aunt, who was knitting a sweater with great interest and glancing at her.

"Dr. Su, I'm not trying to be mean, but we women should be dutiful after we get married. Even if the food in our bowl is half-cooked, we can't be greedy and still want what's in the pot. No matter how delicious what's in the pot is, it's not you."

Su Mei was so ashamed she could hardly bear to look at herself, and she practically fled in panic. She needed to get Ruan Xiaochun and Ruan Jianhua out of the military region immediately. If they waited for Old Lady Ruan to arrive, Su Mei felt like she would be skinned alive.
