Chapter 9: Treat her like a child?
Like all pampered children of that age, she looked forward to getting sick because her parents were usually too busy at work.Her mother would cook her favorite pumpkin porridge and make her favorite cream cake.Her father would tell her stories in a low voice and buy different dolls to make her happy.

At that time, she felt that being sick was the happiest switch in the world. If she pressed it, her family would be together and she would not have to go to work or go to school.

She couldn't even remember when it started. Her parents were at home less and less at the same time, and the muffled arguments coming from the master bedroom in the middle of the night became louder and louder.

Her secret switch no longer worked, even if she deliberately opened the window to blow herself up to a high fever, her father carried her to the hospital in silence, and when her mother showed up when she was taking water, he immediately turned around and left the ward.

The two of them seemed to suddenly become mime actors who were not allowed to appear on the same stage, and they tacitly used her as a node to hand over tasks again and again.

She was left there watching them come and go silently, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually expanded into a terrifying black hole, giving her constant nightmares all night long. She dreamed that she was trapped in, struggling and shouting desperately, but none of them looked back.

Song Shiwei leaned back on the sofa and blinked slowly, her dark eyes dark and unclear.

The phone beside her suddenly buzzed. She picked it up and glanced at it lazily.

[Ming Xu: Are you feeling better about your cold?Do you have a fever? ]
She dropped the phone with an indifferent expression. When she raised her eyes, she glanced at the unopened cartoon temperature sticker on the table. She leaned over and picked it up. After a while, she lightly dried it.

Does this person treat her like a child?

She threw it into the storage box under the table, got up and walked to the kitchen to take out the half-cold porridge.

She chewed slowly while watching the drama, and a push news suddenly popped up at the top of the tablet screen: [Rongcheng held an anti-drug work meeting, and Guo Zhang, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and director of the municipal anti-drug committee, delivered an important speech...]
Song Shiwei frowned slightly as she held the spoon, her eyes paused slightly on the last name, and then raised it thoughtfully.

It was dark outside the window, and the mist enveloped the moon, dimming the light.

***
After lying at home for another day, Song Shiwei finally recovered on Monday and arrived at work on time.

After the morning meeting, she and Xu Lin walked back from the conference room, chatting while walking: "Did you see the news last night?"

Nodding: "I saw it."

The other party said: "I heard that the latest influx of drugs has been rampant recently. It's during the summer vacation, and the victims are students. There is a lot of pressure from above."

Song Shiwei hummed and said quietly: "After all, it is a drug. Although it is not fatal, it is very harmful to society. Once it spreads, the possible consequences will be unimaginable."

The person next to her looked at her quietly and said calmly: "It turned out to be drug addiction, but the news didn't mention it in such detail."

Song Shiwei was stunned for a moment, curved her lower lip, and did not explain.

When she came back, she only recounted the part related to their case about the investigation information they had exchanged with Ji Yanchen when they had dinner last time. She did not mention the information about drug addiction.

Xu Lin was rejected by the SWAT team first, and then the other party asked her to meet alone - it would be too embarrassing and speculative if others knew about it.

So she didn't mention this lunch to anyone, but when she came back at noon that day, the young people in the office still smelled something unusual from the cake in her hand, winked and teased: "Sister Shi Wei, the love sent by Mr. Doctor cake?"

Song Shiwei didn't want to get into trouble, so she smiled and said without comment: "You guys should split up."

The two girls were the first to come over: "Wow, how about having family benefits like this once a day!"

They quickly divided the small cake into five equal parts, and said while cutting: "This is a zero-degree cake, right? Theirs is not cheap."

"Yes, I bought one for my mother's birthday last time. It's a little bigger than this and costs four figures. It's so expensive that it hurts my heart."

"Four digits?"

Lin Dong frowned and leaned over to take a closer look, incredulously, "That's it? All cream? Not even any fruit?"

"What do you know?" Zhou Ran pushed him with his elbow, "This island cake is a niche original. Now it is very popular on the Internet. Some people spend four-digit money to fly it to other places. What does cake money count for?”

"What?!" Lin Dong and Song Shiwei were shocked at the same time. The former bluntly said what she was thinking, "Are you crazy? Do you have money and no place to spend it?"

Zhou Ran rolled her eyes at him in disgust, picked up the largest piece and gave it to the owner.

Song Shiwei leaned on the table and waved politely: "I won't eat the cake, you can eat it."

"Then..." Zhou Ran hesitated. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure walking in the corridor outside the door, and raised his voice to stop him, "Xu Jian, do you want to eat cake?"

"No, thank you."

Xu Lin stopped in front of the door and subconsciously looked at the figure at the table.Seeing him stop, Song Shiwei stood up, took her notebook and motioned to go to his office: "Tell me about what happened in the morning."

The other party nodded: "Okay."

After the two walked away, several people in the office were eating and gossiping: "Sister Shi Wei's boyfriend doesn't know that she doesn't eat cake?"

Lin Dong answered: "It's not necessarily that she doesn't want to eat, she just doesn't want to eat today."

A more senior colleague recalled seriously: "Shi Wei doesn't seem to like sweets. I didn't see her eating them at the dinner party before."

Zhou Ran clicked his tongue, shook his head and curled his lips: "Is this boyfriend of any use?"

There was the sound of trotting in the corridor, and Zhou Ran quickly called the other party in: "A Nan! Come on! Eat cake!"

The person who was stopped was an intern from the next door group. The number of interns in the inspection institute was in short supply, so they would occasionally use each other to run errands.

After the other party came in, he held the edge of the table and took a long breath, and then said in surprise: "Zero? My God, is your group's afternoon tea so luxurious?"

Zhou Ran laughed and handed the spoon to her: "Sister Shi Wei's boyfriend bought it."

"Well, I just saw it!"

The intern took a spoonful of the cake and put it into his mouth, saying vaguely, "Sister Shi Wei's boyfriend is so handsome, so awesome!"

Several people at the table suddenly stopped eating at the same time and looked over meaningfully.

They met the doctor boyfriend at a dinner party. He had handsome features, but his temperament was gentle and gentle, and he was definitely not the same as A.

Then who sent this love cake?

"It's delicious."

A sudden voice sounded from behind, breaking the suspenseful atmosphere at the moment.

Everyone turned around cautiously at the same time. Lin Dong was squatting on the ground and eating a delicious meal. He felt several eyes falling directly on his face. He raised his head and looked around, asking with a confused look: "What does A mean?"

Everyone: "..."

Zhou Ran ignored him and signaled to the intern in a low voice: "Tell me more details."

The other party swallowed the cake in his mouth, and his voice became clearer: "He is tall, has a good figure, and has a dark complexion. His body lines look like he has been trained."

Zhou Siran bit his spoon and looked at his colleagues in the same group. They had never seen the doctor's figure, but his skin color was definitely white.

"Any more?" she asked.

　Ji Yanchen: Yes, I bought the four-digit cake you eat! ! !
