The next night, Liu Sanlang got off work.
Liu Sanlang felt that his female colleagues were looking at him strangely. He wasn't sure if it was an illusion.
He left his office early and stood at the front desk, pretending to be waiting for someone. However, he saw Shi Shi, Zhao Qi, and a few other female friends leave the company, talking and laughing. They didn't even look at him.
All of a sudden, he began to worry about his personal gains and losses, and waves of exhaustion welled up in his heart. Did Shi Shi forget what she said to him yesterday? Was she just playing a trick on him?
Just then, Ye Yu and Bei Feng walked out side by side. It seemed like they were getting closer.
"Sir! See you tomorrow! "Ye Yu waved at him. He forced a smile as a response.
When he got home, Liu Sanlang put on his slippers and collapsed on the sofa. He closed his eyes. He was tired. His body was tired. His brain was tired. His heart was even more tired.
What?
He wrinkled his nose and sniffed. What was that smell?
"Woo!"
He opened his eyes and saw the labrador in the corner of the living room. It stuck its nose and mouth out of the fence and its front paws out of the fence, trying to get out.
Under its body, there were a few thick layers of old newspapers. On the newspapers, there were lumps here and there. They were yellow and soft, with different shapes and smells … Bah! Different smells!
Damn! This dog can poop!
He dragged his tired body and stood up. He carried it out, checked whether its feet were covered in feces, put it on the floor, and carefully stepped into the fence. Holding its nose, he folded the newspapers.
As soon as the Labrador ran out, it began to run around the house, sniffing as it ran.
"Don't poop on the floor. Do you hear me?" he said.
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
"Coming. Wait a minute." He thought it was a delivery. He had placed an order online yesterday, so it should be delivered today.
Stepping out of the fence, he ran to the door.
Shi Shi was standing outside, wearing a knitted hat and a scarf that covered most of her face. She was looking around impatiently.
Liu Sanlang was stunned. He stood at the door with a pile of feces in his hand.
"Hey! You won't let me in? "Shi Shi frowned.
"Please … please come in!" He hurriedly got out of the way. "I … I didn't know you were coming. I thought you were going somewhere to have fun …" In his impression, whenever a group of girls left the company together, they would always book somewhere to have fun or go to the beauty salon together.
"Ah! So annoying! " Shi Shi took off her knitted hat and scarf as she walked into the house, complaining incessantly. "It was going well, but Zhao Qi suddenly changed her mind. She said that she saw something wrong with her cat through the security camera at home, so she ran away first. Then, another lady was called away by her boyfriend. She even said that men were scum, but she ran away after one phone call. So boring!"
She looked at the furnishings in the room and saw that it was simply decorated. She asked casually, "Is this the apartment you rented? How much is the rent here? "
"I didn't rent it. I bought it!" Liu Sanlang followed her closely and emphasized.
"You bought it?" Shi Shi's tone was full of doubt.
Liu Sanlang nodded. "I bought it with a loan for my future marriage," he emphasized the second half of the sentence.
Shi Shi didn't really care. Her eyes fell on the newspaper in his hand. "Why are you walking around with the newspaper in your hand?"
Liu Sanlang was shocked. He then realized that he had been holding a bag of dog poop in his hand. He hurriedly hid it behind his back and said, "Kitchen trash. I was going to throw it out."
"Then go ahead. Oh, where is your dog? You are not lying to me, are you? "Shi Shi asked.
"Of course not! I would never lie to you! "Liu Sanlang raised his voice." Dog, dog, where are you? "
Hearing the noise, the Labrador came out of the bedroom that was temporarily used as a study. It trotted to the space between the two of them, staring at Shi Shi with its eyes wide open. It stuck its nose out, trying to smell her and even barked.
Liu Sanlang quickly ran into the kitchen, took out a trash bag and stuffed the newspaper in it. Then he ran to the door, opened it, and put the trash bag outside the door. He planned to throw it out with the other trash at night.
"Wow, so cute!" Shi Shi squatted down. "Does the dog bite?"
"No! Absolutely not! I asked the store … "Liu Sanlang realized something was wrong. He was so excited that he almost spilled the beans.
"Store what?" Shi Shi looked up at him from a squatting position. From this angle, she looked even more petite and cute, which made his heart flutter.
He composed himself and said, "I mean, when I went to give it a vaccine, I passed by a pet shop and asked the shop assistant inside. They said that it was a Labrador and that it was not aggressive and would not bite."
"Labrador? I think I have heard of it …" She held her chin and thought for a while.
This pose was so cute! Liu Sanlang's legs felt like jelly.
"If it will not bite, can I touch it?" she asked.
"Please! Feel free to touch it! "
Even so, he still stared at it nervously, afraid that if the dog suddenly bit Shi Shi, everything would be over.
She reached out her right hand and gently touched its head. "Wow, it feels like a stuffed toy. It is still warm."
The Labrador was attracted by the dangling pendant on her wrist. It raised its head and stuck out its tongue to lick it.
"Haha, so ticklish!" Shi Shi giggled.
He wanted to swap places with it!
Liu Sanlang was so jealous. If only he could be reborn as a dog like those online novels …
Shi Shi took her hand back. The Labrador probably felt comfortable being touched. It arched its back, lifted its upper body, and put its two front paws on her knees. It looked at Liu Sanlang and then back at her. It barked again, louder than before.
"By the way, what is its name? I heard you call it a dog. You didn't give it a name? "Shi Shi asked confusedly.
"Um … I am not good at naming!" Liu Sanlang quickly explained, "Why don't you give it a name?"
He wouldn't tell her that he had hesitated to send it back to the pet store.
"No, no. It is your dog. Of course you should name it," Shi Shi waved her hand.
"I picked it up," he corrected her.
"It doesn't matter. It is your dog now," Shi Shi urged. "Hurry up and give it a name!"
He insisted, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have picked it up. So, you name it!"
Liu Sanlang made up his mind. Once Shi Shi gave it a name, their relationship would be even closer.
Shi Shi didn't know what he was thinking. She thought about it and said, "Okay then. I will name it. What should it be called … Um … You said it is a Labrador, right? "
"Yes!" He added in his mind. More food means more poop.
"Let's call it Xiao La!"
