Before her rebirth, Shen Xuewei was over thirty years old. After seven years of estrangement from her family and many years of hard work, she finally had her own small home.
After her rebirth...
Chapter 481 Sending You a Warm Man
Chen Fangqiu's departure seemed to have little impact on everyone's lives.
The Chu family's life remained peaceful and warm. Chen Fanglan had a new boyfriend and lived in Pengcheng for a long time, while Chen Fangyang continued to live off his wife.
Zhao Fang'er has handed over all the company's affairs to Zhao Xiannan, and now she accompanies Chen Fangyang fishing every day, rain or shine.
Shen Xuewei continued to work hard in her career, but while she was busy, she sometimes felt lonely.
After finishing her business for the day, she came out of the study and received a call from Xu Yue.
"Weiwei, I'm sorry, the film crew won't let me go, so I can't come and celebrate your birthday with you."
Xu Yue's apologetic voice came from the other end.
Shen Xuewei said understandingly, "It's okay. You've celebrated my birthday with me every year before, so one more time won't make a difference."
Xu Yue chuckled, "Although I can't come to be with you in person, I've already arranged for a gift to be sent to you. It should arrive soon, so get ready to receive it."
Shen Xuewei asked curiously, "What gift did you give me? Let me hear it first."
Xu Yue said excitedly, "I noticed you've been alone lately, and you even told me last time that you were a bit bored and didn't know what to do. So, I sent you a sweetheart, isn't that thoughtful of me?"
What? They sent her a guy?
Shen Xuewei's first instinct was to refuse: "I don't want to. Tell him to go back to where he came from."
Over the years, she has only had two serious relationships with men.
When it comes to choosing a man, he has to be pleasing to the eye and satisfy her; not just any man will do.
Xu Yue, on the other end, said, "Oh, once you meet him, you'll definitely be satisfied with this warm-hearted man I sent you."
"I have to go now, I'm about to get back to work. I'll contact you later..."
Shen Xuewei frowned as she looked at the phone that had been hung up, thinking of the so-called "warm man" Xu Yue had mentioned.
At this moment, the housekeeper called, saying that someone outside the community wanted to see her, saying that they were there to give her a gift.
Ten minutes later, Shen Xuewei sat in the living room, looking at the "warm man" who had been brought up by the housekeeper.
Upon arrival, the fluffy little ball of fur was round and plump, indicating that it had been well-fed before.
With short, thick limbs and soft, fluffy fur, the tricolor hue of an adult dog is already visible.
After the cage was opened, it sniffed warily, then quickly relaxed, took off its limbs and walked out to look around, finally stopping at Shen Xuewei's feet.
It looked up at Shen Xuewei, and Shen Xuewei looked down at it.
It suddenly opened its mouth and licked Shen Xuewei's foot, then barked at her, its almond-shaped eyes looking at her with a bewildered yet docile expression.
Shen Xuewei glanced at her foot, which had been licked, and looked at it with a hint of disgust, taking a step back.
The little creature seemed to have its eye on Shen Xuewei. It took a step forward and then nestled at her feet, its tail swaying gently.
Sister Zou exclaimed, "Oh my, what kind of dog is this? It's so cute! It's not shy at all; it recognized its owner as soon as it arrived. Let me take some pictures and find out what kind of dog it is..."
I took the photo and searched for it online.
“This Bernese Mountain Dog has grown quite a lot.”
Sister Zou is a person who loves small animals. When she saw such an adorable creature in front of her, she immediately moved closer to touch it.
The dog seemed a little scared, trembling against Shen Xuewei's leg, even its usually limp ears started to twitch.
Shen Xuewei suddenly said, "Sister Zou, I'm hungry. I want to eat your wontons."
When Shen Xuewei made a request, Sister Zou stopped playing with the dog, responded, and went to the kitchen.
After she left, Shen Xuewei looked at the little guy lying at her feet and finally couldn't resist the temptation, so she bent down and touched him.
What a cowardly and spineless guy, and he calls himself a warm-hearted man?
Xu Yue returned to her hotel late at night after finishing work and took a moment to call Shen Xuewei.
"Weiwei, how is it? Do you like the 'warm man' I gave you?"
Shen Xuewei glanced at the little guy sleeping at her feet and lowered her voice slightly.
"good."
"Okay, I understand. It's alright, I really like it. Looks like I made the right choice with this gift."
"Don't worry, I carefully selected this dog. Both its parents are show dogs, with gentle and calm temperaments and a strong protective instinct. It's a natural companion and guard dog."
"I did a lot of research before buying this dog. It's not even three months old yet. Once it gets a little bigger, it can protect you when you take it out for a walk, giving you a great sense of security..."
Shen Xuewei recalled how the dog had trembled even before being touched, and began to doubt whether the dog could really protect people.
Xu Yue talked for a while, then asked, "By the way, Weiwei, have you named it yet?"
"Yes, he's up. His name is Dadan (meaning 'bold')."
"Why did you choose such a strange name?"
"Make up for what's lacking, and maybe the more you bark, the bolder you'll become..."
...
With the addition of this bold child, the house has become more lively.
It wasn't very brave, but after spending several days with Sister Zou, it finally became unafraid of her and was willing to let her touch it.
It's fortunate that Shen Xuewei's house is big; it's only three months old, and it's already quite a handful of things to cause at home.
However, it is also very clingy, and every time it sees Shen Xuewei go out, it wants to follow her.
Shen Xuewei told it not to follow, so it lay listlessly at the door, waiting for Shen Xuewei to come back.
After doing this several times, Shen Xuewei couldn't bear its pitiful appearance any longer, and finally, on one of her outings, she reluctantly took it with her.
From then on, wherever Shen Xuewei went, a Bernese Mountain Dog would follow her.
As it grew older, it became less afraid of people than it had been when it was a child.
Anyone can touch it, but it still follows Shen Xuewei wherever she goes.
As its size increases, its activity level also increases.
Walking the dog has become something Shen Xuewei does every day without fail, rain or shine.
Tide Media no longer required her to keep a close eye on things. After Dadan's activity level increased significantly, in order to make walking the dog easier and give Dadan more space to move around, she returned to Shanghai to live permanently.
Time flies, and 23 years have passed. With the full relaxation of epidemic prevention and control measures, Shen Xuewei, despite her good protection, still contracted the virus.
She was delirious with fever, and Sister Zou, who may have been infected by her or brought it in from outside, also had a persistent high fever.
The two lay in the room, one in front of the other, taking their medicine and sleeping.
Xu Yue sent a message to Shen Xuewei the day before but received no reply. She called again in the morning, but Shen Xuewei still did not respond.
Worried that something might have happened to Shen Xuewei, he flew directly to Shanghai after finishing his work.
After calling Shen Xuewei several times without getting an answer, I remembered that she had registered in the community before and I had Shen Xuewei's home password, so I was able to get in smoothly.
Upon entering the house, I discovered that in such a large house, there was only one dog, Dadan.
When Xu Yue went to Shen Xuewei's room again, she was terrified to touch her frighteningly hot skin.
When I went to check another room, I found that Sister Zou was in the same condition as Shen Xuewei.
She postponed all her work and stayed in Shanghai to take care of the two of them.
Before this, Shen Xuewei had been exercising every day and was in good physical condition, so she recovered quickly.
Sister Zou's physical condition was worse than hers, and she had to lie in bed for two more days before she recovered.
