I don’t know what time it was in the morning, but I just felt something slippery rubbing against my face, and my brows furrowed. Three seconds later, I was so scared that I quickly opened my eyes.
What I saw was a big, furry face, with a black nose pressed against my face, and his tongue was sticking out to lick me.
I propped up half of my body and leaned back, and then I saw clearly that the big dog next to the bed was queen.
Squinting my eyes, the room was dimly lit. I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was only 5:40 in the morning.
I couldn't help but groan, because my whole body was sore and my head hurt.
I looked at the queen who kept wagging her tail at me. I couldn't get angry at all, so I could only groan and said, "What do you want to do so early?"
Queenb seemed to understand what I said, and she opened her mouth and barked twice at me. Not long after, I heard a series of rapid footsteps coming from the stairs downstairs.
Soon, the black king also went upstairs. He stood at the door and looked at me.
Being woken up by a dog in the morning has been a dream of mine for many years. only…
"Brother and sister, it's not even six o'clock yet, you are going too far."
I tilted my body and fell back on the bed. But queenb raised his front paws and jumped onto the bed. It stepped on my thighs, oops, and my butt.
I rolled inside the quilt and it rolled over me.
I seriously doubt that it is really heavier than me, and I was almost trampled to death by it. I had no choice but to get out from under the quilt. I looked at it and said, "Are you hungry or something?"
queenb snorted at me twice, and suddenly I had an idea. I stared at it and asked, "You don't want to go to the toilet, do you?"
"Woof! Woof!"
I didn't walk the dog last night, so I quickly jumped out of bed. There was no time to get dressed properly, so I just put on my cotton pajamas and jacket, and took them both downstairs.
They were very well-behaved and stayed quiet all night. They didn't bite anywhere, and they didn't urinate anywhere.
I walked to the entrance and put on my snow boots, then tied a leash to them, opened the door and went out together.
As soon as I walked out of the apartment door, I felt it was very cold outside. Looking out through the corridor window, the glass was covered with ice, and I could vaguely see that everything outside was white.
The elevator went up to the top floor. I entered with my two big dogs and pressed down to the first floor.
I don’t know if I was freezing while sleeping on the sofa last night. I was wrapped in a big windbreaker and my body was shaking and I was shivering.
When I look at the king and queen at my feet, I really envy them for wearing mink. They both look warm.
The elevator stopped at the first floor, and I took them out for a walk. It's not yet six o'clock in the morning. Although the city center is outside, because it has snowed all night, most people who don't work the morning shift have not come out. It looks a bit bleak outside.
Seeing that almost no one was walking around on the entire street, I loosened the leash and let the two of them solve their physical problems on their own.
When Luo Xiangdong and I went out to buy fruit last night, there was only a thin layer of snow on the ground. Now after one night, the snow has covered the soles of my snow boots.
In winter in the north, temperatures of more than 20 degrees below zero are common. Especially Liangcheng is still north of Night City. In the winter in our place, it sometimes reaches minus 35 degrees Celsius. I always thought I was resistant to freezing, but I didn’t expect that standing here now, my teeth would be chattering with the cold.
Kingb and Queenb were five or six meters away from me, within my line of sight. I was really freezing, so I had to jump up and down in an attempt to give myself some warmth.
People can be urged to go to the toilet, but dogs cannot be urged to use the toilet. I had to wait for them to resolve themselves, and the wait lasted for more than ten minutes.
Facing the main road, I started to observe the cars on the road out of boredom. It's too early now, so there will only be more taxis coming out, and occasionally an Audi or BMW will pass by. Such cars are only mid-range and slightly above average in Night City.
It’s true that you don’t know what cold is until you’ve been to Winter City, and you don’t know what wealth is until you come to Night City.
I am also used to Luo Xiangdong Ji Guanxin's luxury cars, so I have become indifferent to these cars that I used to think were quite expensive and luxurious.
Because of this, when a bright yellow Lotus sports car slowly enters the inner lane from the opposite street and gradually drives towards me, I will pay special attention.
There was snow falling in the sky, and the light-blocking glass film used on the inner wall of the sports car meant that I didn’t see clearly who was sitting in the driver’s seat until the car stopped in front of me.
But I have a feeling that the people in this car are coming for me.
Sure enough, less than ten seconds after the car stopped, I saw the door on the driver's seat open. First, a thin leg wearing over-the-knee boots stepped down, and then the whole person.
White tight pants, black over-the-knee boots, and an elderly black sweater. Du Ting stood by the car, looked at me and said, "Zijin."
I never expected to meet Du Ting downstairs at my house at around six o'clock in the morning.
And Du Ting was already walking towards me. She was already almost 1.8 meters tall, but now she wore a pair of ten-centimeter high-heeled boots, which made her much taller than me wearing snow boots. I had to lift my chin to meet her eyes, which felt... very unpleasant, very low.
After being surprised, I realized it later and spoke out awkwardly, asking aloud: "Why are you here so early?"
Du Ting replied: "I had a night show yesterday and just got back from work."
For example, many people in their modeling circle are involved in the film and television industry, which is not surprising.
I nodded and said 'oh'.
Because of the last phone call, this was the first time the two of us had met. She looked calm, but I still had a knot in my heart. There is nothing to say, and I don’t know what to say.
Du Ting, on the other hand, had a nice smile on her face with exquisite makeup, just like she did when Luo Xiangdong was around.
She looked at me and said: "Zijin, last time you called Xiangdong, I..."
In the middle of her words, kingb and queenb came running over from a distance. They were having fun and kept wandering around me.
When Du Ting saw it, her expression suddenly changed. She immediately lowered her gaze, looked at me and said, "Is Xiangdong here with you?"
I met her eyes and secretly sighed that she turned against her faster than she could turn the book. One second she was smiling, and now she looked like someone owed her money. No debt collector is as fierce as her.
Under her high-pressure gaze, I looked calm and asked without answering: "Du Ting, what do you mean by this?"
Du Ting's face was completely grim. Because of the height difference, she looked at me almost condescendingly. She opened her mouth and said loudly: "Why is Xiangdong's dog here? Was he here last night? asleep?"
I wasn't good-tempered, but I just didn't want to quarrel with her for some reason, so my expression was calm and I replied calmly: "Are Luo Xiangdong and the dog tied together? If the dog is here with me, then the man must be here with me?" "
After I finished speaking, Du Ting immediately said: "Don't divert your attention. Do you dare to say that Xiangdong didn't come to your place yesterday?!"
What I hate the most is when other people talk to me and compete with me, haha.
I frowned slightly, showing an impatient look, and replied: "Luo Xiangdong is your boyfriend, don't you know where he slept last night?"
When Du Ting heard this, she thought I was provoking her, and her eyes suddenly widened and she was so angry.
Before she could say anything unpleasant, I added: "Du Ting, I don't know when you started to suspect that there was something going on between me and Luo Xiangdong, but I can tell you clearly that he and I are the boss and Employees, friends and friends. If you think I'm too close to him, that's really embarrassing. We were like this before you got along with him. I can't leave after you come, right?"
I swear to God, I meant to say it nicely, but as soon as I said it, it was more like showing off and adding fuel to the fire.
Du Ting's face was ugly. After hearing this, she stared at me coldly and replied: "I heard that Xiangdong broke up with his previous girlfriends because he had an assistant by his side. The reason is that I still don’t believe it. It turns out that it is really difficult for day and night defense assistants to defend!”
As she spoke, Du Ting narrowed her eyes, frowned and asked, "Liang Zijin, I am not too kind to you. Have you ever done anything like this? Rabbits also know not to eat grass beside their nests. Do you think it's interesting for you to do this?"
Now that Du Ting has broken her heart, I have nothing to worry about. I replied to her expressionlessly: "Those things you bought me, weren't they all paid by Luo Xiangdong? The wool of the sheep comes from the sheep, and I never thank you."
This is not what I really mean, but when women quarrel, they don’t need too much rationality, they just compete to see who can win.
When Du Ting heard this, the corners of her lips twitched subconsciously, and she probably smiled angrily.
She looked at me and said after a few seconds: "Then you admit that you have 'meditated' between me and Xiangdong?"
Why do I hate the word 'intervention' so much
My brows furrowed, and I replied in a deep voice: "You art people, haven't you ever gone to school? When did I admit that I got between you and Luo Xiangdong?"
Not only did I not admit it, I also made it clear before that there was nothing going on between me and Luo Xiangdong.
I really don’t know what Du Ting heard in her ears.
Du Ting's face turned pale when I teased her, and she stared at me without blinking. She said, "Liang Zijin, are you determined to rob Luo Xiangdong from me?"
I didn't bother to choke her anymore, so I just frowned and replied: "Du Ting, I'm a soft-spoken person, and it's useless for you to argue with me. The matter between you and Luo Xiangdong should be resolved by yourselves. I'm too lazy to interfere. "
After that, I called out to kingb and queenb, intending to turn around and take them back.
Du Ting grabbed my arm, and I turned around and stared at her, planning to start a fight at any time.
But Du Ting didn't mean to fight with me. She just said with an ugly face: "Now that you say you are too lazy to mediate, what did you do before? You called Xiangdong in the middle of the night and asked her to come to your place. Are you? If you don’t have any friends or a man, why do you have to steal someone else’s boyfriend?”
I waved my arm and shook off Du Ting's hand, then pointed at her and said, "Be careful what you say. I, Liang Zijin, will never steal someone else's boyfriend in my life!"
