Chapter 3 Hakimi x1

◎Isn't there a dog? Don't be so fickle.◎

The opening lightning struck, and Zhong Jiajing was instantly petrified on the spot.

As a master at making fun of others, Ye Yaying laughed out loud without hiding her feelings, and even used the Foshan Shadowless Technique to make the audio play in a loop in the small space.

As the saying goes, people need face and trees need bark. Zhong Jiajing angrily took back the phone. Even if she had to break up with him today, she had to get rid of this anger.

She typed five full lines of criticism, and before she finished the closing question, another voice message from Ji Nan interrupted her thoughts.

"I want to see what other nonsense he can say!" Even if Zhong Jiajing was angry, she couldn't stop wanting to listen. Maybe people are born with a tendency to be masochists.

But how could Ye Yaying not cherish this opportunity to destroy, she took advantage of the situation and pressed the volume up button on the side of the phone several times to turn the volume to the maximum, and then the whole dormitory was filled with Duoduo's soft and cute barking.

Of course, the disappointing Zhong Jiajing was caught again. She silently deleted the angry words she had just typed and chose to show mercy and take a step back.

"Our Duoduo sounds a little excited, but it's a pity that I don't understand dog language."

Several roommates were stunned when they heard her delicate voice.

Where is morality? Where is the bottom line? Where is that woman who just blushed and threatened to stab someone?

Zhong Jiajing pretended to be stupid and almost made it clear that Duoduo wanted to go out for a walk with her. Everyone could see it, including Ji Nan, but he was unexpectedly easy to talk to.

"Duoduo said she needs your company."

Ji Nan's sudden kindness was certainly for a reason. When the message "The other party is typing" at the top of the chat box continued for several minutes, he suddenly realized how ambiguous his words were. But he swore that he hadn't meant to insult the other party; his words were completely literal.

But obviously, the girl opposite didn't think so.

After pondering for a long time, Ji Nan decided to take a step forward to ease the relationship between the two, so the puppy Duoduo became the bridge of contribution.

Zhong Jiajing would never think deeply about the reason behind this. She only knew that she could be intimate with Cotton Baby again, so she made a profit. What would it matter if she gave up her dignity?

The noisy laughter of the roommates suddenly disappeared, and Zhong Jiajing's drooping mouth corners were raised again to the arc of laughter without any concealment. The darkened screen clearly reflected Zhong Jiajing's "obscene" smile.

Ye Yaying felt that this scene was a little unbearable to watch. She held her forehead helplessly and said, "Baby, can we be a little reserved?"

Yes! Reserved! This is absolutely necessary. Zhong Jiajing nodded in approval.

She would definitely reveal her unconcealable joy in her voice, but this was a bit embarrassing and worthless. After thinking about it, Zhong Jiajing decided to use cold words to maintain her image slightly.

[That's great! Can I pick Duoduo up tomorrow afternoon?]

No, how much less worthless is that revealed in this sentence than speaking it out loud? My roommate's eyes went dark.

Ji Nan flipped through the calendar at hand and said, "Okay, pick it up at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon and return the dog to its original place at three o'clock."

Excellent! That's two full hours shaved off the dog walk! If Zhong Jiajing had known the consequences of trying to sleep in would be this bad, she would never have made such an unreasonable request. She felt like crying, but she was helpless. How could a mere contractor dare to ask for something from the boss? She had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill.

The next day, when the dog was wearing the same bow hair tie that Zhong Jiajing had spent a huge sum of 188 yuan to buy, she instantly couldn't laugh.

Oh yeah, the other side even has two.

That’s great. It turns out that there are more than just differences between people in this world.

Ji Nan felt a little sorry for her unpredictable expression, so he persuaded her a little more gently: "It's okay, aren't you good sisters? Just think of it as a best friend's hairband."

Zhong Jiajing was horrified. "Doesn't that mean I'm a generation lower than you? Do you want me to call you dad too?"

Ji Nan was silent. He squinted his eyes and stared at her for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "Then why don't you just shout and cheer me up."

Happy times are always short. When Ji Nan snatched the dog leash from her hand viciously and stuffed her ID into her hand, Zhong Jiajing realized that he was still angry with her. He was angry that she called him dad in a dog's tone in front of an old lady with squinting eyes.

Based on Ji Nan's six years of experience living in this community, if nothing unexpected happens, the news that he has a crazy girlfriend will spread throughout the old lady's information communication center tonight.

Ji Nan made an appointment for a pet physical examination and dog washing service this afternoon. He planned to take Duoduo to the pet hospital for a full physical examination at three o'clock, and then go to the pet shop for a dog washing before going home beautifully.

However, when he was sitting on the sofa waiting, Zhong Jiajing came in holding a dirty puppy.

She was a little surprised to see Ji Nan, "Huh? So you're here to wash the dog? No wonder you didn't let me take a longer walk this afternoon."

Her voice was so soft, and her mumbling made Ji Nan's ears itch.

Ji Nan pointed at the muddy paparazzi in her hand and said meaningfully, "Don't you have a dog? Don't be so fickle."

Zhong Jiajing was furious and asked, "Is it possible that I am just doing a good deed every day?"

The weather is pretty good today. After walking the dog, Zhong Jiajing thought it was still early and since she was already out, she decided to go for a walk in the nearby botanical garden.

While walking, we passed by a small ditch. The water had stopped flowing due to years of abandonment. Only the remaining rainwater from the previous few days soaked the yellow and black soil. A tiny local dog was stuck in it, howling non-stop.

Zhong Jiajing felt sorry for the puppy and bent down to pick it up.

The dog's barking wasn't too weak, and its belly was bulging, so it probably didn't take long for it to fall.

Zhong Jiajing held the puppy in her hands and gave it a 360-degree inspection. She felt relieved only after making sure that it was not dirty and had no wounds.

There were no residential areas nearby, so the dog was most likely a stray. Zhong Jiajing was worried that it was unable to clean itself, so she decided to be a good person and give it a dog washing service.

After hearing her story, Ji Nan was silent for a moment, then took out his phone and said to the staff, "Please wash another dog."

"No, no, no," Zhong Jiajing stopped him and said quickly, "I brought this with me. It's not your turn to pay for it, right?"

"I got an annual membership card, and they also gave me three free dog washes," he said, pointing at the clerk in front of him who was nodding frantically.

"But......"

The store manager emerged from behind the curtains in the inner room and said with a smile, "What's the big deal? You're such a kind person, so why don't we give you this gift once more?"

So the matter of favors was resolved.

The two of them sat on separate sofas, each browsing their phones, when suddenly Ji Nan spoke up, "What are you going to do with this dog?"

"I don't know." Zhong Jiajing shook her head with a sad face.

She definitely couldn't keep the dog in the dormitory, but she really couldn't bear to throw such a small dog back into the wild.

Seeing her face twisted and speechless for a long time, Ji Nan offered his own advice, "This boss also does adoption work. If you're confident, you can keep it here for a while. If there's still no result, you can find another way."

"That's great." Zhong Jiajing asked her boss and got the same answer.

The puppy's bathing time was much shorter than that of the adult dog, so the two dogs cleverly finished bathing at the same time.

Duoduo's original fur color is extremely white and bright. After taking a bath, its fur became even whiter, making it look chubby and very cute.

"Hakimi~Hakimi~" Zhong Jiajing hummed while ruffling the fluffy dog's fur.

Zhong Jiajing held a dog in each hand and insisted that Ji Nan help her take pictures. Ji Nan took a few pictures with a stern face and said he wanted to go home. Zhong Jiajing had no choice but to say goodbye to the dogs.

I don’t know when the rain started, but the sky, which was originally sunny, has now become dark and the ground is completely wet.

The dog had just been washed, so of course it couldn't be stepped on or wet in the rain. Ji Nan was thinking about how to get the dog back to the car cleanly.

Suddenly, Zhong Jiajing, who had just said goodbye to the little puppy, caught his attention.

He asked, "Would you mind doing me a favor?"

"What?" The voice echoed in the empty corridor.

Ji Nan turned sideways and motioned her to look at the rain outside. "I have to carry the dog back to the car. Can you hold an umbrella for it?"

That must be possible, it would be hard for the members of the Dog Cult to refuse.

With the help of Zhong Jiajing, Duoduo got into the back seat neatly. The two people standing under the same umbrella suddenly felt awkward in the rain.

The top of Zhong Jiajing's head only reached the corner of the man's mouth, so it was still a bit difficult for her to cover the man's head with the umbrella in her hand.

"Thank you." Ji Nan took the umbrella naturally.

He looked at her empty hands and suddenly asked, "Don't you have an umbrella?"

"Well, the weather forecast said there wouldn't be any rain today." Zhong Jiajing looked at him eagerly, leaving her words blank. "Good deeds will be rewarded, so how about..."

Duoduo leaned against the window inside the car and stared at the two people who were very close to each other in confusion. Ji Nan glanced at the window and said, "Get in the car."

This was exactly what Zhong Jiajing was thinking. After getting the approval, she said thank you briefly and got into the back seat.

Ji Nan listened to the laughter behind him without any emotion, as if he was just a tool driver.

Half an hour later, the car stopped. Zhong Jiajing looked out the window at the luxurious neighborhood, bewildered. If she was right, this should be the house of a wealthy family, but wasn't he going to take her home? Zhong Jiajing sat in the back seat with a complicated expression.

Ji Nan opened the umbrella and opened the door on her side of the car. "Help me again?"

There is still some distance to walk from the parking space to the downstairs of the unit.

"Oh, okay." Zhong Jiajing held back her inner tears and pretended to smile.

Zhong Jiajing closed the umbrella, and Ji Nan held up the dog's butt and said to her, "Wait a moment, I'll take it up first."

Duoduo estimated that she weighed about 50 kilograms. Zhong Jiajing had tried to hold her before and almost sprained her waist, but the man in front of her remained calm.

The elevator was also wet from the people coming and going, and Ji Nan had no choice but to continue carrying the dog back to his home on the 16th floor.

It was a while before Zhong Jiajing saw Ji Nan returning with a light pink umbrella in his hand.

It was probably for her, at least she wouldn’t have to go home wet, Zhong Jiajing thought.

"Thank you." She exchanged the black umbrella in her hand with his, then opened it and continued, "I'll be leaving now. I'll return the umbrella to you next time."

"Don't do it next time, just do it today." Ji Nan tilted his head and looked at her.

"Huh?" Zhong Jiajing was puzzled.

Ji Nan opened his umbrella and walked side by side with her. "I don't need this little bit of gas money."
