Ling Lie's tied-up hair had come a bit loose. As he was re-tying it, he said, "One of the duties of a temporary worker is to be admired by the leader." Ji Chenjiao pressed a hand on top of his head, messing up the hair he had just neatened. Ling Lie yelped, "Hey, hey! How dare you, temporary worker, offend your leader!" Ji Chenjiao said, "Then go ahead and call the police." The two horsed around for a bit until the archive administrator, hearing the commotion, came to see what was happening. Ji…

Shen Wei straightened his back and continued, "After I came to Feng City, I started a mobile stall around here, selling fried rice from a tricycle. My customers were all patients' families. How should I put it? I didn't want to disappoint my brother. He was the kind of person who could throw himself completely into his ideals, and that was his expectation for me too—whatever you do, you must see it through to the end.
