"...Mingzhou, are you listening to me?" The bright woman sitting opposite frowned slightly, her tone was slightly displeased, but she still maintained an elegant etiquette.
"Of course, I'm listening." Liu Mingzhou raised his eyes slightly, and replied politely, but soon turned his gaze to the Samoyed lazily lying at his feet again. The care and pampering in her eyes made the woman feel a little slight in her chest. Make a bet.
"Mingzhou." The woman raised her hand, knocked on the table, her tone became severe, "I think we need to have a good chat—can you look at me and leave your dog alone for now?!"
In fact, women have really liked this smart, well-behaved, beautiful and docile Samoyed since the first meeting, but probably no woman can tolerate that the man she likes cares far more about pets than herself, so Samoyed Ye gradually went from good-natured to thorny, making her feel extraordinarily garish, unhappy—even jealous.
Sensing the woman's displeasure towards Sui Yuan in the woman's tone, Liu Mingzhou's gaze sank slightly, and a little displeasure was also tinged between his brows, but he still followed the woman's request and finally turned his attention to her: "Do you want to say What?"
"If we go on a date in the future, can it be just you and me?" The woman eased her tone slightly, trying to suppress her temper, "I mean, is it okay to keep this Samoyed at home temporarily? You Such an approach always makes me feel that I am the third person acting as the light bulb, and this is actually your date with this Samoyed."
"You think too much." Liu Mingzhou replied a little indifferently, but the tone of voice always made the woman feel like "you just need to understand", which made her a little weak even to lose her temper.
"I don't think it's because I'm supercilious." The woman said coldly.
Liu Mingzhou raised his hand and rubbed his temples impatiently: "Do you still remember what I said when we first met? I don't want to get married, and I don't want any girlfriend. The blind date is just for family. Meaning, it has nothing to do with me. You said that you were also forced, we can temporarily treat each other as friends and serve as shields for each other, lest family members use such topics to disturb our private life, can't we?"
The woman choked for a moment, and was immediately discouraged: "So, you just used me as a shield for a while?"
"This was originally your proposal." Liu Mingzhou replied calmly.
The woman closed her eyes slightly, and her originally shrewd and capable demeanor was a bit confused and lost: "So... During this period of time together, you didn't have the slightest affection for me, did you?"
"You are a very good friend." Liu Mingzhou euphemistically sent a "good person card".
"I understand." The woman forced a smile, "It's true that I thought too much, and I was too confident... I'm sorry, I think our previous agreement is no longer suitable, I started to fall in love with you, but you didn't , this is not a good phenomenon, so we have to stop cooperating... I don't think you want to turn a good thing into a problem, do you?"
"...if this is your request." Liu Mingzhou nodded lightly, as always, he was gentle and polite, like a glass of warm water, maintaining a lukewarm alienation from anyone, "Thank you for your help during this period of time."
Liu Mingzhou's answer completely shattered the last hope in the woman's heart. Although she did develop a good impression of Liu Mingzhou during this period of getting along, she had not yet reached the point where she would give up her dignity—and it was indeed as Liu Mingzhou said. She was the one who proposed to be a shield for each other, and he never showed the slightest ambiguity to her. It was just her being affectionate.
Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is indeed true. A woman who has always been sensible does not intend to allow such mistakes to continue.
Soon, the woman sorted out her emotions and smiled again: "Is it up to me or you to talk about the 'breakup'?"
"... If it's not troublesome, please say something nice for me." Liu Mingzhou's expression was a little embarrassed.
"I understand." The woman laughed, "Just say that I'm too busy with work, get together less and leave more, and the two sides have some personality differences, how about it?"
"Thank you." Liu Mingzhou nodded slightly.
After the vigorous "breakup", the woman bid farewell politely, stood up, and walked away proudly stepping on her high heels, while Liu Mingzhou was still sitting there, lowering his head, just looking at Sui Yuan who raised his head, then raised his hand, gently Patted his head.
Sui Yuan shook his head in displeasure, stood up, and took a last look at the woman's back.
Yao Fang—the woman who just "dated" Liu Mingzhou—should be regarded as one of the important female partners in this world. In the original text, Liu Mingzhou and Wang Yuncan's teacher-student relationship cannot be made public, but Liu Mingzhou's family began to urge him to find a girlfriend earlier She got married and started a business, and Yao Fang is the daughter of Liu's mother's friend, and she is the "future daughter-in-law" she admires most.
Although Wang Yuncan is now in love with Sun Jie, since Liu Mingzhou has always been single, Yao Fang will naturally appear within the stipulated time according to the plot. It's a pity that Liu Mingzhou in the original book had Wang Yuncan, but now Liu Mingzhou has... Samoyed, so his attitude of rejection was extremely firm, and he was struck out after not playing for long.
Of course, according to the original text, Wang Yuncan once misunderstood the relationship between Liu Mingzhou and Yao Fang, ate some big and small vinegar, and caused a lot of disturbances, but now he has been completely wiped out by the clouds...
After taking the last sip of coffee, Liu Mingzhou put the payment on the table, got up and left the open-air cafe, smiled and lowered his head to ask Sui Yuan where he was going to play next.
Sui Yuan wagged his tail with some lack of interest, and lazily followed behind Liu Mingzhou—anyway, he couldn't speak the language, so it was useless to say anything.
After shopping around, I returned home and found that a guest had already come to the door.
After the breakup, Yao Fang really acted resolutely, and immediately reported the situation to Liu's mother, and after receiving the news, Liu's mother also attached great importance to this matter, and came to Liu Mingzhou's house early, intending to teach her "daughter-in-law" a lesson. "Lost stupid son.
Seeing Liu's mother, Liu Mingzhou, who had been prepared for a long time, was very determined. First, he greeted casually, and then began to busy around Sui Yuan, grooming and feeding. He was so attentive, just like serving Lafayette. His attitude obviously seriously irritated Mother Liu, who was holding her breath, and immediately made her feel terrible!
"Dog! Dog! Dog! I hang around your dog all day long, why don't you just live with the dog for the rest of your life!" Seeing that her stupid son never repented, Mother Liu angrily scolded.
Liu Mingzhou paused, looked up at Liu's mother who was staring at him angrily, and smiled slightly: "That's not bad."
"Not bad, not bad!" Facing the stubborn Liu Mingzhou, Liu's mother didn't know what to say, "You spend your whole life with a dog, where can I hug my grandson!"
"Don't you have a younger brother?" Liu Mingzhou shrugged, "Is he going to get married soon?"
"Your brother is going to get married, why are you not in a hurry?! Besides, your brother's child is your brother's child, not yours!" Mother Liu stared, although she was somewhat angry at the Samoyed who occupied her son's entire mind, But he also knew that this was fundamentally Liu Mingzhou's own problem, and he did not forcibly intervene in his relationship with Samoyed.
Liu Mingzhou was silent for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "I'm sorry, Mom."
Liu's mother's expression eased slightly, and she sighed heavily: "I really worry about you. I'm sorry, but I'll save it, just find me a girlfriend to hold my grandson earlier! It's fine if you and Xiao Yao have different personalities, This matter cannot be forced, but you have to give me good care!"
Liu Mingzhou smiled and said nothing, it seemed to be a helpless agreement, but it also seemed to be a silent resistance.
Liu's mother did not expect that Liu Mingzhou's "I'm sorry" was not an apology for breaking up with Yao Fang, nor did she expect that her initial reprimand in frustration turned out to be a fact.
However, she already vaguely felt something was wrong in her heart, but she couldn't believe that her eldest son, who had always been her pride, would give up everything because of a dog.
In the eyes of everyone, this is abnormal and perverted. Liu's mother dare not say it out loud, so she can only try her best to bring him back to the right path, but it can't stand up to Liu Mingzhou's persistence and strict precautions. If you stick to it, you can only feel disheartened day after day.
After graduating, Wang Yuncan and Sun Jie went to the same university, and formally began to date in the university, got married as soon as they graduated, and had a cute boy the next year. When Liu Mingzhou attended the wedding as an important guest, Sui Yuan was naturally brought there as a mascot. He did not know how many times he witnessed the final marriage of the heroine and the male partner.
As for Liu Mingzhou, he has always been single.
No matter how long-winded Liu's mother reprimanded or even hysterical, how Liu's father advised and sternly persecuted, and how his younger brothers and sisters confided in each other, Liu Mingzhou still insisted on going his own way, and even ended up having a cold war with his family because of this, until they fell out and severed their kinship—because, the Liu family Such a "perversion" cannot occur.
Unlike Liu Mingzhou who had to face the censure of his relatives, in this world, as a dog, Sui Yuan should have lived smoothly and comfortably for more than ten years under Liu Mingzhou's protection.
"...It's rare to die..." Lying on the comfortable big bed, Sui Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his whole body limp and without any strength.
"... Thank you for your hard work." 5237 leaned against him, with a gloomy tone, "Who wrote the extra volume in the original text, so that the Samoyed passed away peacefully under the care of the master and hostess? You have to go through this experience .”
"Actually, it feels pretty good? It's just a waste of time." Sui Yuan turned sideways with difficulty, and the posture of lying on his stomach made him feel a little difficult to breathe.
5237 felt that Sui Yuan obviously didn't need his concern, so he turned his head and rolled aside in a bit of gloom. At this time, the door of the room was gently pushed open.
Liu Mingzhou, in his forties, was still in the golden period of a man, and as time passed, he became more radiant and restrained. He stepped on the soft carpet with bare feet, and then bent over and sat beside Sui Yuan.
"A Li and Ah Yan have already been sent away first, so don't worry." Liu Mingzhou's movements were as soothing and gentle as ever while stroking Sui Yuan's dull fur. "How do you feel now? Will it be uncomfortable?" ?”
Sui Yuan raised his head with difficulty, glanced at him, and barely answered with a sob.
"This world is simply the most boring world I've ever been through. You have to talk to 5237 carefully, and don't choose such a setting next time." Liu Mingzhou complained childishly, turned over and lay down Sui Yuan's side carefully embraced him into his arms, as if he was afraid that he would be uncomfortable, while examining his reaction, he carefully adjusted his posture.
Sui Yuan let Liu Mingzhou fiddle with it, relaxed his body into his arms as usual, and glanced at 5327 who shrank to the foot of the bed.
5237 naturally also heard this complaint, and "hummed" in dissatisfaction, but it was really like what he swore before, and he didn't say a bad word about Liu Mingzhou.
The room was quiet, the sunlight shone into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bedroom, making Sui Yuan's whole body warm, Liu Mingzhou stroked his fur again and again, and said some meaningless things in a lazy tone Chatting, Sui Yuan finally shook his tail, and slowly closed his eyes.
— To be able to die in the arms of the owner is probably the best destination for a dog, right
