At around five o'clock in the afternoon, I called Luo Xiangdong: "Give medicine to kingb and queenb."
The medicine comes in small bottles, and dogs don't like to eat it. You have to coax them to open their mouths, and then squeeze them in unexpectedly. I can't do it alone, I have to cooperate with Luo Xiangdong.
We first tricked the king into the bedroom, and after feeding him, we came out to the living room to trick the queen. I was only halfway through taking the medicine when my cell phone rang on the sofa. It sounded like someone had made a video call with me.
There was no one else except my mother, so I subconsciously said: "My mother's phone number, please be silent for a while."
Luo Xiangdong responded. After I accompanied him to give queenb the medicine, I took my cell phone into the master bedroom.
The door closed, I connected to the video call, pretended to be fine, and greeted her with a smile. My mother went straight to the point and asked: "Zijin, who was at your place last night?"
I said oh and replied calmly: "Friend, I just moved to a new house, come and take a look."
My mother frowned and said, "What time was it last night? He still hasn't left yet and he's still a man. Did he come alone or in a group?"
Of course I said: "A bunch of people came."
My mother said: "A group of people came here. Why did I call you when my legs were numb?"
I kind of admire my mother's careful thinking, or I feel a little helpless at her inquisitiveness. Being cornered by her, I had to say speechlessly: "Mom, how old am I? Can you not look at me like a thief?"
My mother changed the topic and asked: "And why did you and Guan Xin break up again? What's going on?"
I woke up now from sleep, rather from hunger. I thought about what Luo Xiangdong said about putting food in the kitchen. When I walked into the kitchen, I saw a takeout bag on the table, which contained my favorite dishes and snacks. I had to go to several places to buy these things.
Put the food in the microwave to heat it up, and the aroma will soon come out. Kingb and Queenb ran over from the living room and stood next to my legs with their heads raised. They looked so pitiful.
I just wanted to open a box of cans and feed them, but I didn’t remember Luo Xiangdong saying before he left that he was allowed to feed them, so I turned back to the master bedroom, took my mobile phone and sent Luo Xiangdong a text message, asking: Are you asleep
If he falls asleep, then I won't call him.
And less than five seconds after my text message passed, the call had already been called.
I put the phone to my ear: "Hi."
Luo Xiangdong's pleasant voice came, and he said: "Wake up."
"Um."
"You're awake now. Will you be able to sleep in the rest of the night? I'll see how you get up for work tomorrow."
I wanted to ask him about feeding the dog, but suddenly I heard a woman's sweet laughter coming from the phone. The sound was not loud, but it was so sudden that I felt a lump in my throat.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Luo Xiangdong said: "Eat something when you get up. The food is put in the kitchen for you. You can just heat it up in the microwave."
"Um."
"How are kingb and queenb?"
"good."
"Then you eat something and go to bed early, so you won't have to wake up early tomorrow morning."
"I know, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."
Until I hung up the phone, I couldn't ask the question I wanted to ask the most. Just listening to the background sound on his mobile phone, Luo Xiangdong was either in a nightclub or a ktv or other entertainment venue.
No wonder I hung up the phone, he didn't hesitate at all.
Kingb and Queenb were still sitting in front of me, looking like they were waiting for the meal, but I had no appetite for myself.
