Chapter 983: Ending

Chen Shi opened his eyes and greeted, "Good morning, wife."

Lin Dongxue also smiled and replied, "Good morning, husband."

The sunlight shone in through the window, and it was another ordinary day. It had been over a year since the resolution of the observer of humanity incident. Long’an’s crimes, both major and minor, were still happening every day. There was the hacking of neighbors to death due to angry words, the killing of a whole family for a dog and one that involved someone being stalked by a matchmaking prospect for 20 years. The bizarre cases were part of their daily life. The two fought side by side, and their relationship became more and more intimate.

Getting up to dress and wash up, Lin Dongxue volunteered to make today’s breakfast. Chen Shi watched in front of the kitchen doorway while gnawing an apple. Lin Dongxue did a good job, but she had trouble flipping the eggs over when frying them and fretted there by herself.

Chen Shi walked over and reached out to hold the pan handle from behind. "This flipping is a science. If you don't handle it well, you will break the egg yolk. You have to do it like this..."

With a slight tip, the egg in the pan flew into the air by itself, and then turned over perfectly.

Lin Dongxue smiled. "I can't learn your skills."

"Watch more, learn more. Practice makes perfect."

"Tch, you can do it yourself!" Lin Dongxue turned around and kissed Chen Shi. "I will eat the ready-made ones."

"Hey, you’re giving up so soon!" Chen Shi wanted to stop Lin Dongxue who had escaped from the kitchen. He smiled helplessly, and finished the rest of the work nimbly.

After eating, Chen Shi took out a suit from the closet. Lin Dongxue praised him when she helped him tie his tie, "You’re looking really energetic in this suit."

"Why don't we not go today?"

"Not go?"

Chen Shi picked Lin Dongxue up, "I was too tired when I came back last night and just fell asleep as soon as I lay down. I originally wanted to... Let’s just make up for it today. The case is over, and we can just relax."

"Insane, you want to laze around during Yueyue's graduation ceremony? Can you still call yourself a father?"

𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"It's just a graduation ceremony."

"The graduation ceremony only happens once in a lifetime. The academy specially called to invite you, an honored alumnus, to come back and attend. You may be willful but you should know your limits!"

"Argh, how horribly troublesome... Shall we be an hour late?"

"Get lost!" Lin Dongxue pummelled him with her small fists. "Pervert, hurry and let me down."

Chen Shi could only put her down and kissed her twice more.

On the way to the police academy, Lin Dongxue looked at the scenery outside the window and listened to songs in the car. Chen Shi said, "It's all happening so fast. Yueyue is about to graduate, so she can be considered an adult... But her childish appearance… How does she look like an adult?"

"The magazines say that the more fathers spoil their daughters, the slower their physical development."

"Do I spoil her?"

"You spoil her to the heavens. Look at the pocket money you usually give her. It’s enough to even buy a tank."

"Hey, she went through so much when she was a child, so she should be spoiled."

"Two days ago, Yueyue actually asked me if we really don’t plan to have children? Apparently, my good genes would be wasted. I said that I couldn’t possibly give birth to such a good child like her and asked her why I’d need to give birth when I have one right there."

"We don't want results. We just enjoy the process."

"You’re so perverted."

"Isn't it a good thing to perv on your own wife a little?" Chen Shi turned his head and smiled.

"Look at the road, you idiot!"

The police academy was bustling with activity today. Many honored alumni had been invited to attend this graduation ceremony. Lin Dongxue dragged Chen Shi, who had a negative attitude, to greet their seniors and juniors. He really didn’t want to join in the fun, because he was still Song Lang when he was in this academy and everyone had to ask what he had gone through afterwards, and he was tired of talking about it.

Collective spirit, sense of honor, and discipline were all qualities that Chen Shi didn’t possess. When he was still Song Lang, he doubted whether he could be a police officer more than once. Now he had found the answer. The most suitable profession in the world for him was being a police officer and fighting criminals was what he was most excited about.

But today, these worries had fallen upon Tao Yueyue again. Chen Shi wouldn’t tell her the answer. It was useless telling her anyway. She still had a long way to go. He’d just let her slowly get to know herself again!

At 10:00 in the morning, the fresh graduates gathered on the drill ground. They all wore brand-new uniforms and sat with their backs straight.

"I’m feeling nostalgic." Lin Dongxue said.

"There’s nothing to feel nostalgic about. I only like our present." Chen Shi smiled.

Tao Yueyue wasn’t among the students because she was going to speak on behalf of the graduates today. Her classmates seemed to be unhappy about this. While waiting, some girls whispered, "Tch, what's so great about her? Isn't it just because her dad is the captain and she got slightly better grades?", "She’s like a thorn who’ll still be annoying when she’s allocated to a department in the future."

Chen Shi coughed and deliberately said, "Wife, why hasn't our daughter come out yet?"

Several gossiping girls turned their heads in surprise, glanced at Chen Shi, and quickly shut their mouths.

Finally, Tao Yueyue appeared on the stage and walked to the microphone. She saluted the audience and spotted Chen Shi and Lin Dongxue in the crowd at a glance. Her nervous mood suddenly relaxed a great deal, and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.

Chen Shi also nodded at her to encourage her. He was suddenly touched. After going through so much, this moment had finally come.

Yueyue had grown up, and he smiled with gratification.

Tao Yueyue faced everyone with calm eyes and began, "Dear students, teachers, everyone..."
