Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

"Fine, I'm not going to interfere anymore. Do whatever makes you comfortable. I respect your decision, okay?"

Chapter 291 Changing the Medicine

Xia Jie smiled then urged,

"Alright, Mingcheng, what difference does it make who pays? It's not much money anyway."

"Let's hurry up and go, don't worry about this, we still need to buy food for my mom."

So the two of them put their helmets back on and got back on the motorcycle.

On her way home, Xia Jie bought her mother a bowl of fish noodles and a serving of raw seafood.

Soon, Wu Mingcheng escorted Xia Jie downstairs.

Xia Jie looked at Wu Mingcheng and gave him some instructions.

"Be careful when you go back to rest, and take good care of your wound. I'll come to change your dressing tomorrow morning."

Wu Mingcheng smiled and nodded at her, and said,

"Alright, hurry up and go upstairs, Auntie hasn't eaten yet,"

Upon hearing this, Xia Jie waved at him, turned around, and went upstairs.

After seeing Xia Jie go upstairs, Wu Mingcheng also got on his motorcycle and left.

Unbeknownst to them, this scene was witnessed by Xia's mother upstairs; this was the second time this had happened.

Just when Xia's mother felt that Xia Jie was about to return, she deliberately went to the window.

She would look downstairs almost every now and then, specifically waiting for Xia Jie and the others to return.

She wanted to see if Xia Jie had really come back with the young man who came last time; she wanted to prove her suspicions.

Just then, she vaguely heard the roar of a motorcycle. She quickly got up and looked down.

Just as she expected, it was the same young man who brought Xia Jie back the other day.

Watching Wu Mingcheng and Xia Jie say goodbye below, Xia's mother smiled and said...

"Hmph, you brat, you're clearly out having dinner with your boyfriend, but you lied and said you were going out with your colleagues."

Xia Jie went upstairs and, after returning home, immediately called out into the bedroom.

"Mom, come out for dinner. Sorry to keep you waiting, I was held up by my colleagues."

Hearing the noise, Xia's mother came out and casually asked,

"How was dinner tonight? It seems you got along quite well with your colleagues."

As Xia Jie helped open the takeout box, she said again,

"It's alright, we just had a simple meal. I bought you a bowl of fish noodles and some seafood in a dipping sauce."

At this moment, Xia's mother sat down, took a bite of fish noodles, and then deliberately asked,

"By the way, daughter, did you go out with your colleagues?"

Xia Jie was taken aback; she hadn't expected her mother to ask such detailed questions about their outing to eat.

She gave a forced, nonchalant smile, and then said,

"There were several of us together, and basically all of these newcomers went,"

Xia's mother nodded and said,

"Oh, is that so?"

Xia Jie was afraid that if her mother continued to ask questions, she would expose herself.

So she deliberately grabbed her sleeve, smelled it, and then said with disgust,

"Ugh, look at me, I smell like hotpot. I'm going to take a shower."

Then I took a break. Mom, eat quickly and get some rest too.”

Xia's mother was about to ask Xia Jie why she was working late at the office that night, but Xia Jie had already gone into the bedroom.

After returning to her bedroom, Xia Jie clutched her chest, leaned against the door, took a deep breath, and deliberately suppressed her racing heartbeat.

I don't know why, but whenever she lies, my heart beats incredibly fast.

After a long while, she went into the bathroom, took a shower, lay down on the bed, and thought about her relationship with Wu Mingcheng.

The next day, Xia Jie prepared breakfast early, told her mother, and left home.

She was thinking about changing the dressing on Wu Mingcheng's hand, so she left home very early. She even called Wu Mingcheng beforehand.

After she arrived, she bought breakfast at the entrance of Quanjing Residential Complex before going to Wu Mingcheng's house.

Wu Mingcheng was indeed quite tired yesterday, so he has been sleeping soundly until now.

After Xia Jie called, he immediately told her the combination lock password, and then fell asleep again.

Xia Jie carried breakfast upstairs, entered the password, and entered Wu Mingcheng's home.

She then discovered that Wu Mingcheng's home was so luxuriously decorated, with all the appliances and furniture being brand names.

Then, seeing that there was no movement in the room, she knew that Wu Mingcheng must have fallen asleep again.

So she went to the kitchen and put the breakfast in the microwave to heat it up, so that Wu Mingcheng could eat it whenever he woke up.

Then, she briefly toured Wu Mingcheng's home, and then sat in the living room waiting for Wu Mingcheng.

However, after a long while, Wu Mingcheng still did not make a sound from inside the bedroom.

She had no choice but to go to the bedroom door and knock, but it remained silent inside.

So she wanted to push the door open and go in to wake Wu Mingcheng.

At this moment, she hesitated for a moment. What if Wu Mingcheng was lying naked on the bed? Wouldn't that be awkward?

However, after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't resist her curiosity, gently pushed open the door, and went inside.

She breathed a sigh of relief after entering the bedroom. Wu Mingcheng was wearing pajamas.

She went over and sat on the edge of the bed. Instead of waking Wu Mingcheng directly, she quietly looked at his sleeping face, finding it truly captivating.

After a minute, she finally remembered that she had come to wake Wu Mingcheng.

So she shook Wu Mingcheng's arm and said,

"Mingcheng, get up, it's getting late. After changing your dressing and having breakfast, it's time to go to work."

Chapter 292 Another Banner

To Xia Jie's surprise, Wu Mingcheng not only didn't wake up, but instead stretched, rolled over, and pulled Xia Jie into his arms.

Xia Jie was also a little stunned. What was going on? Her face flushed slightly, and she was very shy.

Although she secretly enjoyed the feeling, she still struggled to wake Wu Mingcheng.

"Mingcheng, wake up!"

Even though Wu Mingcheng was still half asleep, he felt something was off; he had a feeling that he was holding someone in his arms.

He opened his eyes and was suddenly surprised to find that he was holding Xia Jie in his arms.

He quickly let go of her hand, sat up, and said apologetically.

"Xiaojie, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, I didn't know anything,"

Xia Jie also stood up and said shyly,

"It's okay, I know. Hurry up and get ready. After I change your dressing and you have breakfast, we still have to go to work."

After saying that, Xia Jie blushed and quickly left the bedroom.

Wu Mingcheng was sitting on the bed, somewhat dazed. He didn't know how Xia Jie had gotten into his arms.

However, at this moment, he savored the memory carefully; Xia Jie's body was soft and supple, and she had a pleasant fragrance.

He immediately shook his head and smiled wryly, then got up, changed his clothes, and quickly washed up.

After Wu Mingcheng left the bedroom, Xia Jie was preparing breakfast. The two exchanged a glance, a slight awkwardness lingering between them.

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng took the initiative to speak.

"Xiaojie, didn't you say you were going to help me change my dressing?"

Xia Jie quickly got up and went to Wu Mingcheng's side, unwrapped the gauze, and reapplied some medicine.

During this process, Wu Mingcheng looked at Xia Jie opposite him and suddenly spoke up.

"Xiaojie, you're not angry with me, are you? I really didn't mean it. I was so confused, I don't remember anything,"

Xia Jie felt extremely shy when she recalled what had just happened.

She said shyly,

"Okay, stop talking. I didn't say I was angry with you. I know you didn't mean it,"

Hearing Xia Jie's words, Wu Mingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Xia Jie changed Wu Mingcheng's dressing, the two ate breakfast, tidied up, and went to work.

For some reason, Xia Jie had a big smile on her face today, and she was in a particularly good mood.
