I will never have any regrets.

Wen Shuang’s eyes lit up. “Tell me about it!”
She’d heard plenty about Ji Shen’s great achievements, but this was the first time she’d ever heard about his embarrassing moments.
Little Zhang cleared his throat and was about to speak when a fierce fit of coughing sounded from above.
Their Captain Ji’s gaze was as sharp as a blade, and it seemed as if if Zhang dared utter even one more word, he would be brought to justice on the spot!
Little Zhang immediately shut his mouth.
Wen Shuang pouted. “Shen, you’re so stingy. Won’t you even let me listen?”
Faced with her coquettish gaze, Ji Shen couldn’t help but soften. “Alright, you can listen.”
But he still gave Little Zhang a chilly glance, warning him to watch his mouth—anything inappropriate was off-limits!
Little Zhang grinned. “The funniest thing I remember was two years ago, when we were short-handed at the grassroots level. So, the higher-ups sent us to assist the local station in a crackdown on illegal activities at a KTV. Our Captain Ji charged in at the front and busted the whole operation! But because he stayed inside alone for half an hour, someone reported him, saying he must have been up to something improper and had broken the law himself!”
At this, Ji Shen’s face immediately darkened.
Wen Shuang couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “And then? What happened next?”
Ji Shen coughed sharply.
Wen Shuang tugged at his sleeve.
Ji Shen had no choice but to withdraw his intimidating look.
Little Zhang continued, full of excitement, “Actually, Captain Ji never does that kind of thing. He was just stuck in the private room, caught up by someone! But the complaint letter ended up at the provincial office, and it caused quite a stir. Fortunately, our chief stood up for him, saying there was no way a twenty-six-year-old young man could have only lasted half an hour! That’s how it got forcibly suppressed!”
Wen Shuang burst into laughter, blooming like a flower.
Indeed!
In that matter, their Captain Ji had certainly lasted more than half an hour!
Little Zhang went on, “Isn’t that funny, sister-in-law? I’ve got even better stories—”
Ji Shen clamped a hand over his mouth. “Enough. Your sister-in-law needs her rest.”
Wen Shuang protested, “No more rest! I can’t dance or even walk right now. Lying in bed every day is driving me crazy. Now that someone’s here to tell me jokes, you want to stop them? You just don’t want me to get better. The doctor told me this morning to keep my spirits up…”
Seeing how happy she was, Ji Shen relented and let Little Zhang tell her all the interesting stories from the bureau.
Wen Shuang laughed until she was breathless.
When they left, everyone still felt reluctant to part.
Little Zhang and Little Wang promised to visit every week, vowing to root out evil and stand guard for their sister-in-law!

“Shen, your young detectives are really something. I thought police officers were all very serious. Who knew they were so good at jokes and cheering people up?”
Ji Shen sat down. “The older ones are usually serious. The younger ones only put on a stern face during missions. The rest of the time, it’s mostly an act.”
“There really are a lot of odd and amusing things at your station!” Wen Shuang reproached him. “Why didn’t you ever tell me before?”
“I’ll tell you from now on.”
Ji Shen gently stroked her hair.
It seemed that these seemingly useless young guys turned out to be quite helpful after all.
Earlier, Yao Qianqian from the dance troupe had come to visit, saying that with two leading dancers suddenly missing, the company was short-handed and the director had no choice but to put her on stage.
Wen Shuang had laughed, saying this was her chance.
Yao Qianqian said with concern, “Shuangshuang! I can’t hold out for long with my abilities. I really hope you come back soon!”
Although Wen Shuang kept smiling, after Yao Qianqian left, memories of the dance performances seemed to weigh her down, making her look listless.
But when the team of young detectives arrived, talking sweetly and telling jokes, her spirits lifted, and she seemed full of life again.
Ji Shen had been by Wen Shuang’s side for days on end.
Wen Shuang, feeling sorry for the deepening circles under his eyes, urged him to go home and rest, saying there were nurses to look after her and she’d be fine.
But Ji Shen unfolded a cot beside her bed. “I’m fine. I just want to stay with you.”
“The cleaning staff comes to mop the floor at six-thirty, and the nurse comes to give me an IV at seven. You won’t get any sleep here.”
“I can’t sleep at all when I’m home alone.” Ji Shen tucked the blanket around her. “Miss Wen, have mercy on me. Since I’m so timid, just let me stay here with you.”
Wen Shuang laughed, knowing full well that Ji Shen was worried she’d be scared alone in the hospital.
Truth be told, she wanted him to stay as well.
She didn’t refuse again, and, breathing in his familiar and calming scent, soon drifted off to sleep.
...
Within three days, the top specialists had devised the best surgical plan for Wen Shuang’s leg and knee.
But this surgery was unprecedented, and carried a sixty percent risk.
If successful, Wen Shuang would regain her peak condition, with no aftereffects.
But if it failed, things could end up much worse than they were now.
Upon hearing this, Wen Shuang didn’t hesitate to choose the first option.

“Miss Wen, if you continue with gentle rehabilitation, you’ll be able to walk again in the future. But if you undergo this surgery and it fails, the worst case is you may never walk again,” the expert said.
Wen Shuang was resolute. “As long as there’s even the slightest chance I can return to the stage, I’ll go forward without looking back, regardless of the consequences.”
The expert warned, “This surgery will be more painful than anything you’ve experienced so far, Miss Wen. Are you truly prepared?”
Wen Shuang nodded firmly and signed her name.
As her family member, Ji Shen saw the determination in her eyes and signed as well.
The expert said the surgery would require two weeks of preparation. Light returned to Wen Shuang’s eyes.
When Wen’s father heard, he’d hoped Wen Shuang would choose the safer option—after all, at worst, she could walk and live a normal life.
But dance was Wen Shuang’s life. She wouldn’t let this chance slip by.
No matter how much pain she had to endure, she would persist!
Ji Shen stayed by Wen Shuang’s side throughout, having taken a long leave. For the first time since they’d fallen in love, they were truly inseparable.
Seeing how rarely Ji Shen had this much free time, Wen Shuang couldn’t help but ask, “Shen, you’ve been with me for so long. Aren’t you going to work?”
“My woman is lying in a hospital bed. How could I have the heart to go to work?”
“But if you don’t show up for so long, won’t the bureau fire you?” Wen Shuang asked with innocent curiosity.
“If I do get fired, would you still want me?” Ji Shen raised an eyebrow, answering her question with a question.
The afternoon sunlight poured over Wen Shuang’s chestnut curls, her hospital gown making her appear delicate and frail—no longer the sharp beauty she usually was, but gentle and endearing in her vulnerability.
She was like a painting, bathed in golden light.
“Of course I would! If you get fired, I’ll earn money to support you!” she replied with a bright smile.
Ji Shen couldn’t help but reach out, lowering his head to kiss her.
His kiss was gentle and lingering, but soon grew heated, his hand slipping under the wide hem of her gown. Wen Shuang let out a soft sound, and the man only kissed her more passionately.
Just then, the door to the hospital room suddenly swung open!
Wen Shuang looked up, instantly frozen in shock.
She hurriedly pushed Ji Shen away!
