By the time they returned, the scene was much more harmonious. Feng Chengjin was sitting in the car, and she was in the passenger seat, holding Demon, who had just been named, feeling slightly better. While driving, Feng Chengjin glanced at the dog with some discontent, "Why choose a name like that?" "I think it’s quite fitting." Especially when you look at Demon’s dark cross-shaped face, which from top to bottom is full of natural charisma and arrogance. And at the moment, Demon was curling its hind legs, resting its front paws on her knee, and upon hearing her speak, it excitedly turned around and started bouncing, "woo..." A perfect symbol of energy and arrogance. Feng Chengjin pressed his lips tighter, and his fingers curled slightly under the steering wheel. After all, Gu Zixuan said, "Quite fitting." Not... something else. Park the car, enter the basement. When they went upstairs again, the scene was even more harmonious. Gu Zixuan held Demon leaning against the wall, while Feng Chengjin carried the dog crate along with bags of dog food. For a moment, Gu Zixuan felt like it was a family out shopping. Except... Demon was really a bit too large, Feng Chengjin said it’s only been a little over two months. At two months, it’s already as big as a one or two-year-old child, feeling heavy in her arms. In another two months, won’t it be able to drag her around? Thinking back to her time in the United States hospital when being blind was bad enough, He Qimo suddenly brought along a Cane Corso from somewhere, saying a couple was packing luggage for the discharged father, and the people had to be loaded into the car. He asked her to hold the dog temporarily while he went to the bathroom. And it was all good and nice. After the couple packed the luggage, they started shouting for the dog, and the Cane Corso dragged her away. Leading her to the most tragic sports event of her life, ultimately crashing "boom" into a tree. Facing the hospital staff’s disbelief, and He Qimo’s extremely untactful laughter, since then, she held no love for large dogs... Gu Zixuan was speechless, feeling the weight in her arms, genuinely uncertain about whether she really wanted to keep it? Beside her, Feng Chengjin didn’t think much, instead he lowered his gaze, focusing on Gu Zixuan’s ringless right hand ring finger. The dark color deepened as he pondered the report from Qin Nuo yesterday, occasionally glancing at Gu Zixuan with a thoughtful look. Returning home, Yu Wei was still not back. Facing Feng Chengjin who entered freely, Gu Zixuan genuinely felt this was a bit too casual. After all, this was Yu Wei’s house... They agreed not to let Yu Wei bring Liang Yichao home, yet she let Feng Chengjin in every day? But after pausing for a moment, she couldn’t help but sneer at herself for thinking this. Bah, what’s the relationship between Liang Yichao and Yu Wei? It’s a relationship that involves both emotions and physical contact. To use Liang Yichao’s words, "Being my woman in this life, who else would you want to marry?" Her relationship with Feng Chengjin had no real intersection, not even with a lengthy stick. How could they possibly be compared? However, facing the extraordinarily lively Demon, she truly has no patience to busy herself with arranging the doghouse, checking the manual, looking up how much a dog this size eats per meal, when to get vaccinated, when to add supplements, what should be avoided, what shouldn’t be consumed. So, if Feng Chengjin is willing to do it, let him do it. Time passed as Feng Chengjin researched, while she occasionally leaned over to hear the precautions. Except... each time she turned her head, her eyes met Feng Chengjin’s unusually deep gaze, and the unending feeling seemed to linger around her lips, making her feel a bit flushed. After all, Feng Chengjin never made any overstepping moves from start to finish. Having just divorced, she wasn’t interested in thinking about any relationships with men. Any! If such intense love could lead to today’s end, what else is worthy of contemplation... After sending Feng Chengjin off, within half an hour Brother Yu returned. Yu Yuanshen had finished half of his socializing when he received a call from Yu Wei, worried about her condition, so he hurried back. When he entered, he brought in a small white violin with golden strings, beautifully lacquered like a piano. Thinking Gu Zixuan might play it for a moment if bored. After all, Gu Zixuan’s violin skills are very high, once a professional teacher wanted to take her as a final disciple, but Gu Zixuan learned only out of personal interest and to cultivate her temperament, not to win top awards or achieve major developments, so she refused. Over the years, Yu Yuanshen has seen Gu Zixuan sometimes pull herself back when she’s free, as a way to calm her mind and enjoy herself. She has always been a quiet person. But the moment he stepped in, Yu Yuanshen was stunned by the sound before he could go upstairs to find Gu Zixuan... He looked upstairs suspiciously, closed the heavy security door, and stepped up step by step. Pushing it open, the scolding he encountered caught him by surprise. Gu Zixuan was standing with one hand on her hip, speaking a little dejectedly to the Alaskan puppy at her feet who was barking "woo, woo", "I need to go to the bathroom. You’re a male dog, can you not follow me? Also, can you stop barking? You’ve been barking for hours. Aren’t you tired? Don’t you need to quietly enjoy life?" Below, the prideful little puppy stood with its front legs straight and its hind legs crouched, wagging its tail excitedly. It did not understand what Gu Zixuan was saying. It just knew that after being on the plane for such a long time, trapped in an enclosed space, it was finally seeing humans, which made it excited, and Gu Zixuan’s animated expression was amusing to it. So in the next moment, when Gu Zixuan heard the door sound and looked at Brother Yu, it excitedly bit onto her pant leg again. Refusing to let go as it circled around her ankles, with its furry tail incessantly sweeping across her ankles, leaving the distressed Gu Zixuan covered in goosebumps. In the air, Gu Zixuan and Yu Yuanshen locked eyes. Ten minutes later, listening to Gu Zixuan recount the incident, Yu Yuanshen glanced without much expression, "So, you’re saying you were too bored, went out shopping, ended up at a pet store, and bought an Alaskan puppy?" "Hmm." Not really wanting Yu Yuanshen to know that the dog was a gift from Feng Chengjin, she could only say so. Although, even she found this reason far-fetched and hard to believe. Plus, she was a bit curious why Brother Yu, upon arrival, didn’t do anything to demon, just pressed it into the doghouse, patted it a little, and demon quieted down. Gu Zixuan looked on curiously. Yu Yuanshen didn’t react much, as he’d always believed whatever Gu Zixuan said. He just found it slightly odd. Also, Gu Zixuan’s mood seemed significantly improved compared to when they met in the morning. That state of... impatiently arguing with a puppy, he... had never seen it before. Seated back on the bed, Yu Yuanshen didn’t think too much. After all, her mood was good, not downcast, which was more important to him. So, looking at his wristwatch, he suggested, "Want to go for a walk by the sea now?" It’s 9:23. If we go to the seaside now, the evening crowd has dispersed, and as the moonlight spills onto the sea, it looks like waves glimmering on the Milky Way, very beautiful. Actually, back in middle and high school, a quiet Yu Yuanshen would take her for seaside walks, enjoying the cool sea breeze, watching the deserted beach, which made her feel much more open-minded. But back then, the age difference meant she never thought too much about this brother six years her senior, just seeing it as a normal outing with him. She was more interested in stepping in the waves than walking beside Yu Yuanshen. Recalling it now, those times when Brother Yu looked like he wanted to say something but didn’t, he was probably trying to confess, and often walked close to her, probably wanting to hold her hand. Now... her eyelashes fluttered lightly. Even though such a romantic gesture didn’t really suit her mood, knowing that Brother Yu wouldn’t do anything, staying with him always felt comfortable. She had been annoyed by the dog for almost two hours, so her mind really needed a rest. Seeing Brother Yu’s suggestion, she nodded slightly. Yu Yuanshen smiled faintly, glanced at her attire of a thin woman’s shirt and tight black jeans, and looked around the room. Walking to the coat rack, he picked up the Les Copains knit cardigan she wore in the morning and said to her, "Let’s go." "Okay." Gu Zixuan nodded. But just as she stood up, she remembered something, glanced at the doghouse where demon had also stood up excitedly. A cold sweat dripped down her forehead as she walked over and, in one motion, moved the dog, doghouse and all, into the dog cage. Then she locked the cage, exhaled a long breath, and went out. Her not-so-affectionate attitude towards the Alaskan puppy made Yu Yuanshen give a few curious glances, looking deeply at Gu Zixuan. Gu Zixuan didn’t notice. The lights went out, the door closed. Gu Zixuan and Yu Yuanshen left together. But what Gu Zixuan didn’t notice was that inside the cage, demon pitifully watched her departing steps, and couldn’t help but shiver at that moment.
