Stealing Your Heart

As Shen Peichuan put down the picture frame in his hands, Captain Song approached him. “Come and have a seat.”

He led Shen Peichuan to the sofa.

“I am retiring,” Captain Song said.

Shen Peichuan stared at him in silence.

He could tell that Captain Song regretted leaving his job, especially since he was yet of retirement age. Shen Peichuan figured that he must be in desolation.

“Actually, you-”

Captain Song waved at Shen Peichuan dismissively. After all, there was no use crying over spilled milk.

“I have recommended you as a candidate to take over my position. However, it is still all up to the higher-ups. You need to show them you are capable of it.” Captain Song glanced wistfully at his surroundings. “I will really miss my job a lot. It’s been so many years. How can I not get attached to this place?”

Shen Peichuan lowered his gaze to the floor. He did not know how to console the retiree.

“Bah! Let’s not talk about that! Would you do your boss a last favor and promise me you will forget about the past?”

Captain Song patted Shen Peichuan on his shoulders.

Shen Peichuan nodded. “Don’t worry. I never really took anything to heart.”

“Okay, I trust you.” Captain Song uttered remorsefully, “Sigh, everything’s my fault.”

Shen Peichuan did not respond.

“Alright, I shall leave you to your work. Also, I think it’s time I pack up and leave.” Captain Song rose from his seat. Shen Peichuan followed suit and said, “Let me send you off.”

Captain Song chuckled dryly. “All the years I spent grooming you didn’t go to waste after all.”
