My Dearest General: It Has Always Been You

"Another body part was found in the Jiang Park Mall, precisely in the parking lot on the B2 underground floor. A man surnamed He, who was planning to fetch his girlfriend, found a medium sized women's bag on the floor. Let us move to Mr. He." The screen on the television shifted to a man whose face had been mosaicked and his voice altered. "Mr He, what do you think about your discovery?"

"I always saw the news on TV but never expected that I would find one myself!" His tone grew higher and higher. "It's so scary! The parking lot was dark so I didn't see it clearly. I thought that someone accidentally dropped it and planned to bring it to the lost and found station but who knows that it contained a human leg!"

The screen once again shifted to another man, this time, his face wasn't covered. The camera lights flashed blindingly as he dived through a crowd of reporters, his face sharp and fierce and his body robust. Under it, there was an introductory text: Jin Renguang, Captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit.

"Detective Jin! Detective Jin! What do you have to say about this case?!"

"Does the leg belong to the previous victim or a new one?"

"Do the police have a new lead to find the serial killer?"

"How confident are you to catch him?"

Maybe because Jin Renguang was fed up with the barrage of questions, his steps paused. His gaze swiped across the people and the hubbub around him died down as if the reporters were all chickened out. A deep voice travelled across the television to Shi Nian's ears. "We are currently trying our best to dig into the case. Please wait patiently and don't go crouching around in front of the Police Bureau late at night—"

Suddenly, the screen turned dark.

Shocked, Ouyang Xueqing turned to find Nurse Zhang holding the remote, her gentle voice admonishing. "Don't watch this kind of news often! It's not good for your mental development!"

Shi Nian: "…" But she wasn't some little girl who needed her parents to monitor her!

[I want to know the development of the case.] She pouted sullenly.

Under her pitiful eyes, Nurse Zhang sighed and rubbed her head. "It's okay. If there's something urgent, Detective Xu and Doctor Chun will tell you for sure. Your current priority is to recuperate so that you can get healthy soon."

She was healthy, as fit as a paddle! Everyone said that she recovered fast and there were only some bruises and scratches remaining on her body. The only wound that needed attention was only the one on her head that had gone under the knife.

Shi Nian puffed out her cheeks, unhappy.

"Do you want to watch cartoons instead?"

She shook her head. Cartoons were so childish, she had no interest in them.

"Then, what about dramas? No," Then, Nurse Zhang shook her head and muttered to herself. "Doctor Chun said not to let your emotions fluctuate so much. Nowadays, dramas are all tearjerkers, the moral value keeps on degrading!"

[Never watch dramas.]

Nurse Zhang suddenly felt that Shi Nian was especially pitiful. Even though she was as busy as a bee working night shifts a few days in a row, she still had some time to catch on to the dramas. She whacked her own forehead and changed the topic, "Then, how about we go out and stroll around the garden? You've never been there, right?"

Shi Nian shook her head.

"Great!" Nurse Zhang clapped her hands happily. "It's a great chance for you to sunbathe too. The sun is so great today, it's not too hot and not too dry, either."

Nurse Zhang's enthusiasm made it difficult for Shi Nian to refuse. She could only shake her head helplessly and followed Nurse Zhang out. "Nowadays, you have holed yourself up in your room reading. Is the history of wars that interesting?"

Shi Nian's lips curled as she pinched her thumb and forefinger together.

Nurse Zhang flicked her forehead exasperatedly. "Then why do you keep on reading it? Do you know how much trouble I've gone through to search for those ancient books in the public library?"

Shi Nian grinned and hugged Nurse Zhang's arms. [Thank you~] She wrote on her board then added a big love in the end.

Nurse Zhang laughed despite herself. "You and your sweet mouth!"

The two of them laughed and chatted as they turned into a corner. Shi Nian's movement froze as she once again met Jiang Jinyan. He was sitting on a wheelchair, his head hanging low, the sun falling onto his pale skin and shrouded his body, highlighting his slender figure.

Behind him, there was a girl holding onto the wheelchair.

Nurse Zhang smiled and greeted, "Good morning, Mr. Jiang. Good morning, Miss. Are you going for a walk?"

The girl turned her head and finally Shi Nian could take a clear look at her. Beautiful, delicate and lively. That was her first impression of the girl. She had straight shoulder length hair, slightly upturned eyes and a beauty mole on the corner of her eyes. Seeing the two unfamiliar people, the girl smiled politely toward Nurse Zhang and at the same time, Jiang Jinyan turned toward them too. Shi Nian suddenly felt nervous as if she was seeing a teacher.

"Good morning, Miss nurse. Yes, I am taking Jinyan out for a walk to the garden."

"Such a coincidence." Nurse Zhang smiled brightly. "Do you mind if we join you?"

"No, no please." The elevator dinged open and the four of them entered. Nurse Zhang pressed the button toward the first floor and turned to the girl.

"You can call me Nurse Zhang. I am one of the nurses responsible for this floor. Nice to meet you." She stretched out a hand which the girl took with pleasure.

"Nice to meet you. Thank you for taking care of Jinyan. My name is Wei Xiameng and I am Jinyan's girlfriend."

Shi Nian instantly choked on her breath.
