Ning Meng paused in the middle of packing and looked at Zhang Ke Ke, who was sitting in the front row.
She curled up in the corner, her body trembling. Even her crying was suppressed, as if she was afraid of being discovered.
This girl was very transparent. She had been sitting there quietly for the whole afternoon, and Ning Meng had almost forgotten about her.
As she was crying, Ning Meng looked up at the classroom and realized that everyone else had left. She then placed the book into Huo Beichen's bag. However, it was not the right time to leave, nor was it the right time to stay.
After all, when a person is sad, they don't like strangers watching them.
She hesitated for a while before she walked to Zhang Ke Ke's side and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Ke Ke raised her head in panic when she heard the question.
The eyes under the thick bangs were like the eyes of a frightened rabbit, with an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Just when Ning Meng was wondering where this familiar feeling came from, she heard Zhang Ke Ke say, "I … I don't want to go home."
Ning Meng smiled. "What a coincidence! Me too."
After saying that, she leaned on the table. "But I can't go back. What about you?"
Zhang Ke Ke did not say a word. Her fingers gripped the book tightly.
Ning Meng noticed that even her fingers were skinny. They were so skinny that they looked like bones wrapped in skin. She looked very pitiful.
Zhang Ke Ke did not say anything else. Ning Meng waited for a while, but when she still did not say anything, she impatiently said, "I'm leaving now."
After saying that, she picked up her bag and walked out of the door. "I'm staying at someone's house now. I need to cook dinner for him."
When he walked to the door, he heard rustling sounds in the classroom.
Ning Meng did not mind.
She walked slowly from the school gate to the villa. When she arrived at the villa estate and entered, she suddenly heard the security guard behind her shout, "Hey!"
Ning Meng turned around and saw the security guard pointing at a skinny girl wearing a school uniform. "Is this your classmate?"
"??"
Why did Zhang Ke Ke follow me here?
Strangers were not allowed to enter this villa district. The first time she came here, she knew that there was a dog hole at the side. After that, she followed Huo Beichen back and forth, so the security guards recognized her and allowed her to come and go as she pleased.
She quickened her steps and said to the security guard, "It's my classmate."
The security guard stepped aside.
Zhang Ke Ke followed behind her.
Ning Meng was confused. "Why are you following me?"
Zhang Ke Ke lowered her head and clutched her sleeves tightly, "I-I don't want to go home."
"I know, but you can't follow me!"
Zhang Ke Ke lowered her head and remained silent.
Ning Meng had no choice but to sigh. "In that case, you should inform your parents so that they won't be worried."
Zhang Ke Ke nodded, "Yes."
Ning Meng continued to walk forward. "Then, just stay at my place for one night. Just one night, okay?"
Zhang Ke Ke was overjoyed and nodded vigorously.
If she went home, she would be beaten. Even if it was just one night here, she felt that she had earned it.
And so … when Huo Beichen returned home, he saw Ning Meng standing at the door, smiling at him. "Lord Chen ~"
Huo Beichen's first reaction was, "You want to adopt stray dogs again?!"
Ning Meng immediately waved her hand. "Of course not! I need you to take care of me, right? Besides, I can't even take care of one dog. How can I take care of two? I know my limits! "
Huo Beichen let out a sigh of relief and took out his keys to open the door. Ning Meng coughed and said, "But, I think that Xiao Tiantian needs to be trained!"
"And?"
Ning Meng laughed. "And then, I found a dog trainer!"
"??"
The door of the villa opened. He looked to the side and saw Ning Meng moving to the side, revealing Zhang Ke Ke who had been hiding in the dark behind her.
Huo Beichen was speechless.
His face turned black. "Ning! Meng! This is not a shelter! "
A few days ago, she had adopted a dog. Now, she wanted to adopt a human?!
What kind of weird fetish was this?!
Ning Meng smiled and took a step forward, holding his arm. "Lord Chen, look at you. You're so handsome, handsome, and kind. Also, Zhang Ke Ke is your classmate. It's getting late, and her parents have something to do today. She has nowhere to go. Can you bear to let her stay out in the cold for the whole night?"
"Of course I can."
"… Then, when you wake up tomorrow morning, you might see a dead body ~"
"What does that have to do with me?"
"…"
Ning Meng suppressed her anger and continued to smile. "Actually, Zhang Ke Ke is an expert dog trainer. I thought that Xiao Tiantian could not just pee or poop anywhere, right? So, I asked her to help me. Anyway, she's staying at our house tonight! "
Ning Meng's patience had reached its limit after being spoiled by Huo Beichen.
If Huo Beichen still did not agree to it, she would use her fists!
Ning Meng's fingers twitched when she thought of this.
She did not know what was going on. When she was coaxing him earlier, he did not agree to it. Now, her words seemed to have hit the nail on the head.
He did not even look at Zhang Ke Ke and entered the house first. "Just one night. You must leave tomorrow! If not, you can leave with her. "
"Okay!"
Ning Meng happily pulled Zhang Ke Ke into the house.
Zhang Ke Ke whispered, "But … but I don't know how to train a dog!"
Ning Meng patted her hand and whispered back, "You'll know when you watch the video later. Do you have a phone? Download the video from the internet. "
"Okay."
After both of them went into the house to wash their hands, Ning Meng said to Zhang Ke Ke, "I'll go prepare dinner. You go train the dog!"
Zhang Ke Ke nodded.
Ning Meng went into the kitchen and quickly made three bowls of tomato egg noodles. When she came out of the kitchen, she saw Huo Beichen's dark face.
Ning Meng asked, "What's wrong?"
Huo Beichen sneered and spat out two words. "Dog training?"
Ning Meng followed his line of sight and saw Zhang Ke Ke holding her phone and playing a video. She was pressing Little Tiantian's head to show it.
"????"
"…!!!"
When she said "watch the video", she meant that she would rather watch how Huo Beichen trained his dog than watch the video!
She pursed her lips and stared at Huo Beichen's mocking gaze. She bit the bullet and said, "Maybe her dog training method is a bit different?"
Huo Beichen was speechless.
After the three of them had dinner, Ning Meng handed Ning Ke a set of her clothes. "Go take a bath first. I'll go talk to Lord Chen."
After saying that, she took her bag and ran to Huo Beichen's study room. She took out the main points of today's lesson and told him about it.
When the sky turned dark, she returned to the guest bedroom. When she opened the door, she saw that Zhang Ke Ke had fallen asleep on the sofa.
The heater in the house was turned on. Zhang Ke Ke was wearing a nightgown and her exposed arms and legs were covered with scars.
Seeing this, Ning Meng's sharp senses finally caught on to something. She instantly understood that Zhang Ke Ke was being abused!
