At two o'clock in the afternoon, Dong Xiaoni, a guide dog trainer at the Mingshi Guide Dog Training Base, returned to the base with a golden retriever.
"Xiao Ni, how did Yangyang do in the exam?" a colleague from the base asked.
Dong Xiaoni: "Very good, I passed all of them. I can get a perfect score this time."
"Great, eh, what about Xiaoyou?"
"Xiaoyou is behind us, and he's not in a good mood." Dong Xiaoni sighed, "When he was about to get on the bus today, he was refused to take the bus. The driver spoke in a rather harsh tone, and Xiaoyou was devastated."
"ah… "
"Look, here she comes." Dong Xiaoni pointed towards the door.
A colleague looked over.
At this time, a woman in a beige coat walked in. She was wearing sunglasses, and her palm-sized face was almost hidden in them. She looked a little worried, just like Dong Xiaoni's expression just now.
"Xiaoyou, it's okay, don't be unhappy."
The Labrador named "Xiaoyou" arrived at a familiar environment and sat down on the ground. The woman also stopped, squatted down, touched its head, and comforted it in a low voice.
"Be good, don't be afraid, they just don't understand yet, they will know you can get on the bus later..."
Dong Xiaoni handed the dog she was holding to her colleague and walked towards the man and the dog in front.
"Qingle."
The woman squatting on the ground raised her eyes and looked over. She took off her sunglasses and casually put them in her pocket: "After the bus, I took Xiaoyou for another walk. His emotions came up later, and he may be getting more and more sad now."
Dong Xiaoni: "It's okay, leave it to me, I will comfort you."
"Um."
Lin Qingle stood up. Although she was already familiar with Xiaoyou, it was Dong Xiaoni who trained Xiaoyou, so it was obviously more appropriate to hand it over to her.
"Then I'll go in and help."
Dong Xiaoni didn't bother to be polite with her: "Okay, go ahead."
Lin Qingle let go of Xiaoyou and walked into the base.
She was very familiar with this training base. She came across this place by chance when she was a sophomore because she wanted to get credits for social volunteer work. After a month of practice here, she got the credits. She could have left like other students, but she didn't.
In every semester that followed, she would come here as a volunteer when she was free, and as a result, she learned a lot about training guide dogs here.
After graduation, she started working and earned a good salary because of her ability. Later, in addition to sending some money back to Lin Yufen, she donated most of it to the base.
She likes this place very much, and also likes these dogs who are working hard to bring hope to the blind.
Dong Xiaoni is usually very busy. It should be said that all the trainers in the base are very busy, so Lin Qingle used to come here often to help. After she resigned from her job recently, she is here every day.
Feeding the dogs, cleaning their beds, and occasionally providing basic training to some guide dogs, this place can be considered her second workplace.
At six o'clock in the evening, because Dong Xiaoni still had to record the dogs' test results today, Lin Qingle went back to his residence first.
"I'm back." Yu Tingting was cooking dinner in the kitchen. When she heard the door open, she came out wearing an apron.
Lin Qingle: “Yeah.”
"Didn't Xiaoni come back with you?"
"She said she would have to work overtime."
"Oh... Then I'll save some food for her. I made three servings." Yu Tingting said and went back into the kitchen.
The house is quite large and has three rooms. It was originally occupied by Lin Qingle and Dong Xiaoni. A month ago, she posted a rental notice for another room and Yu Tingting came to the house.
Lin Qingle didn't expect such a coincidence that her new roommate turned out to be Yu Tingting, her classmate in the first year of high school.
They drifted apart after they were separated into different classes. Later, she left Xicheng in her senior year of high school and there was no contact. After entering college, she changed her phone number and completely lost contact with her freshman classmates.
She was surprised by Yu Tingting's appearance, but she was also very happy because she had experienced Yu Tingting's personality before: she was cheerful, lively, straightforward and easy to get along with.
When Yu Tingting first moved in, I talked to her about the past. She said that after college, she hadn't had much contact with Jiang Shuyi and Yu Jiayou. She felt quite sad as she spoke, saying that they had once had a very good relationship, but in the end it was erased by time.
However, Lin Qingle felt that this was normal. If two people were not together day and night, feelings would easily fade.
"Hey, when are you going to look for a job? Xiaoni said you have been single for three months." Yu Tingting asked at the dinner table.
"yes."
"Tsk tsk, talented people are just great, they are not in a hurry at all."
"No, I just want to take a break. My last job was too busy." Lin Qingle said, "I've been getting along well with the dogs at the base lately."
"Yes, if you stay any longer, you can get a guide dog trainer certificate like Xiaoni."
Lin Qingle thought for a moment and said, "Well... With my current ability, I can pass the exam."
"Oh, you can do it, right? This job is not something that most people can do. If Xiaoni didn't have a wealthy family to support her, she wouldn't be able to survive in this city with that little salary."
What Yu Tingting said makes sense.
Guide dogs are distributed to blind people for free, but training a guide dog is very expensive. Government funding is limited, and the training usually relies on donations from some companies and the public. In general, the guide dog training industry in China has not been really taken seriously, and the salary is not impressive.
Therefore, in the imperial capital, a city where every inch of land is valuable, entering this industry requires nothing more than love and passion.
As for Lin Qingle herself, there is really no way for her to ignore her life and her mother at the moment.
"I'll think of a way later."
"Ah? What are you thinking about?"
"Think about how to promote the base and how to raise more funds for the base."
Yu Tingting shook her head with emotion: "You two all think of great and useful things, unlike me..."
"You? What's wrong with you?"
"My boyfriend." Yu Tingting took a bite of her food and said, "He was fired a while ago for talking back to his boss. He had no choice but to work in a bar during the transition period. I'm so annoyed. He's already grown up, but he's still working as a handyman in a bar."
I have met Yu Tingting's boyfriend Lin Qingle several times and he has a very stubborn temper.
"He needs to change his temper."
"Yeah... I always say that, too. He always says he'll change, but he still causes trouble next time." Yu Tingting put down her chopsticks irritably, "Forget it, forget him. If he still can't do his job at the bar well, let's break up!"
Lin Qingle shook his head and smiled. He could see that Yu Tingting really liked him and it would not be so easy for them to break up.

A week later, Dong Xiaoni will take Yangyang, the golden retriever that has passed the test at the base, to the home of its owner where it will soon serve.
This is the last month of Yangyang's training life. During this month, it needs to participate in training with its prospective adopter. Only if they cooperate well and get along harmoniously during this month can they become true "partners".
The day Yangyang and Dong Xiaoni went there, Lin Qingle drove them there.
The car drove into an upscale residential area. Dong Xiaoni took Yangyang upstairs, while Lin Qingle followed with some necessary tools.
But what she didn't expect was that when she opened the door, she saw a familiar face.
Lin Qingle: "Hey, you?"
Xia Tan's eyes lit up: "It's you!"
Lin Qingle and Xia Tan recognized each other at the same time.
Dong Xiaoni: "Do you know each other?"
Lin Qingle: "Actually, I don't really know him."
Xia Tan said: "Last time I met her on the road with a guide dog, and we chatted for a while at that time. I didn't expect to meet her again today by such a coincidence."
Dong Xiaoni: "So... it's fate."
Xia Tan smiled and glanced at Lin Qingle.
Dong Xiaoni: "By the way, where is Xia Quan?"
"It's inside, come in."
Today the main purpose is to let Yangyang adapt to the new owner's living environment. After entering the door, Lin Qingle saw Xia Tan's blind brother.
The boy was eighteen years old and very polite. He knew they were coming and stood up from the sofa to greet them.
Dong Xiaoni quickly brought Yangyang over. Lin Qingle stood aside and watched Dong Xiaoni familiarize the boy with Yangyang and teach him some basic commands.
"Have some water." Xia Tan walked to Lin Qingle and handed her a glass of water.
"Thanks."
Xia Tan said no, followed her and looked at his brother who was obviously very happy today: "It's rare for Xiaoquan to be so happy."
Lin Qingle: "Most blind people would be happy to see them."
Xia Tan nodded: "So you are also an employee of the base? I remember you said last time that you are not a training instructor, so you are..."
“I’m still a volunteer. I just like it there, so I go there often.”
"Ah... then you are very loving."
Lin Qingle smiled and said, "I can only do what I can. I am nothing. Xiaoni and the others are the ones who are really caring."
Xia Tan nodded, and when he glanced sideways, he saw the smile in her eyes. He paused, but then he couldn't look away.
Hiss... Absolutely!
This girl looks really pretty when she smiles.

After the first day, Lin Qingle drove Dong Xiaoni and Yangyang back to the base.
Xia Tan walked them downstairs, and after seeing them off, he took the elevator back home.
When he returned home, Xia Tan saw someone standing at the door.
The man was wearing a shirt and trousers, and had a tall and straight figure. His back was very pleasing to the eye.
"Ting Bai? You're back so early today."
The person at the door turned around. He had handsome features and light pupils. It was Xu Tingbai.
"Come down and see Koizumi."
After Xu Tingbai returned to China, he lived here with Xia Tan. Xia Tan lived on the 16th floor, and he chose the top floor of the building.
"Oh, but you came at a bad time. I just sent the trainer and the guide dog away." Xia Tan opened the door and went in. "Come in and sit down."
Xia Quan heard Xu Tingbai's voice in the living room and called out, "Brother Tingbai."
Xu Tingbai hummed and sat down next to him: "It's our first day together, how do you feel?"
"Very good, Yangyang is very good."
"Yangyang is the name of the guide dog." Xia Tan said, "Xiaoquan and it got along pretty well today."
"Brother, do you know how well we understand each other?" Xia Quan teased.
Xia Tan was puzzled: "I have been watching you guys, how come I didn't know."
"Oh~ You've been looking at me. I thought you were always talking to the sister in that base and had no time to take care of me."
Xia Tan: "Hey you—"
Xu Tingbai: "What sister?"
Xia Quan quickly reported: "Today my brother ran into the sister he met on the road before. He told me about her last time he came back. He said that she had a guide dog and was very beautiful. And today, by chance, they ran into each other again. Anyway, I kept hearing him trying to find something to say to that sister."
Xia Tan rolled his eyes: "Xia Xiaoquan, you will die if you don't talk nonsense."
"I said, you don't let people say it."
Xu Tingbai glanced at Xia Tan calmly and said, "Today is your brother's important day, do you still have time to provoke others?"
"Don't listen to his nonsense. How did I provoke him? He is paying close attention to Yangyang's behavior. Why would he keep chatting with me?" Xia Tan paused after explaining himself, and then said, "But it's true that she is very beautiful."
"… "
Xia Tan: "Hey, don't look at her like that, she's really pretty. Otherwise, if she comes to our house next time, will you come and see her?"
"What am I looking at?"
Xia Tan: "I just saw that you didn't believe what I said."
"No, just enjoy it yourself." Xu Tingbai stood up, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
The author has something to say: Xia Tan: If you have the guts, don’t regret it :)
