Chapter 177 Whose Puppy

When the car parked in the underground garage, the time on the phone showed nine o'clock in the evening.

The two boys got out of the car and walked towards the trunk together, ready to take the suitcases, but Shi Guilin waved them away, "Don't bother hanging around in the parking lot with me, come inside and eat, I'll push your suitcases in one hand each."

"Hehe, thank you, Dad." Shi Nianzhu got the advantage and acted like a good boy, then urged Jiang Duan to go into the villa, went straight to the kitchen, filled the rice that the aunt at home had kept warm in the pot, and brought it to the dining table.

After eating a few bites, Shi Guilin came over empty-handed to help them push the suitcases. "I've put the suitcases in Nian Nian's room on the second floor. After dinner, take a quick shower and rest."

"Okay." The two people sitting opposite each other at the table nodded and agreed, and sent Shi Guilin away.

The two of them continued to eat their not-so-early dinner in an orderly manner.

Shi Nianzhu drank the bone soup slowly, spoonful by spoonful, as if nothing had happened.

"Nian Nian, stop moving."

Jiang Duan said helplessly, slowly let go of the chopsticks in his hand, and looked across at him.

"I didn't do anything." Shi Nianzhu seemed unaware and took another spoonful of soup. "Don't look for trouble."

Jiang Duan didn't argue at all. He silently pulled away one leg and moved to the side.

There was silence under the table for several minutes.

When the bowl of rice was finished, Jiang Duan called out to Shi Nianzhu again: "Niannian."

"What are you doing? I'll be done eating soon, don't rush me." Shi Nianzhu quickly scooped two spoonfuls of food into his mouth.

Jiang Duan, who had finished his meal first, raised his eyebrows slightly. When he bent down to pick up Nian Zhu's slippered feet, he placed them on his thighs. After he was done, he gently patted her: "You're not obedient at all."

When her ankle was tapped, Shi Nianzhu held the spoon and subconsciously retracted her legs, but was held down by Jiang Duan and could not escape.

"Let me go, I didn't move. You're wrongly accusing me."

He looked so innocent that Jiang Duan couldn't tell for a moment whether he did it intentionally or not.

"Just eat your meal properly. Why are you always rubbing your feet against my calves?"

"I didn't." Shi Nianzhu was indignant. "I just thought the food was so delicious. Can't I just shake my feet for joy? That's too much."

Jiang Duan thought this made sense, but he hadn't come to Shi Nianzhu for no reason. "I don't blame you, darling. It's just that when you stretched your leg over here, mine felt a little itchy."

"If you feel itchy, apply some floral water." Shi Nianzhu was annoyed by what he said. He lowered his head and drank the last mouthful of soup with a fierce look.

Jiang Duan assessed the situation and read the expressions on his face. He decided not to continue the conversation and instead collected the dishes and put them in the kitchen sink.

After letting it go, he half-held Shi Nianzhu's hand and went upstairs.

The two opened their suitcases, took a brief rest, and went to the bathroom one by one to shower and wash up.

Jiang Duan used to live with Shi Nianzhu directly and never stayed in the guest room. Now that he is in a relationship with him, it is even more impossible for him to stay in the guest room.

Therefore, it was natural for the two of them to stay in Shi Nianzhu's room after taking a shower.

As Shi Nianzhu grew up, the layout of the children's room was transformed into an ordinary bedroom for an adult boy. The bed was also changed from one and a half meters wide to two meters, making it very spacious to lie down.

"Are you going home tomorrow morning?" Shi Nianzhu leaned against the head of the bed, rubbed his arms that were chilled by the air conditioner, and pulled the quilt to cover his shoulders.

"Well, I'll be home around nine or ten."

"If I can get up in time tomorrow morning, I will go to your house with you. If you can't get up, you can go first and I will come to find you this afternoon."

"Okay." Jiang Duan leaned towards him, and his hands under the quilt intimately circled Shi Nianzhu's waist, stroking it gently.

Shi Nianzhu was ticklish and pushed his hand away. After the strange feeling subsided, he slipped into the bed like a little loach, opened his phone, clicked on a game, and lay in the bed with his back to Jiang Duan to play.

He slept too long on the plane today and didn't feel sleepy at all at night.

Jiang Duan, whose arm was shaken off by someone, stared silently at Shi Nianzhu playing with his mobile phone with his back to him, feeling a little complicated.

After a while, he also lay down in the quilt, moved closer to Shi Nianzhu, raised his arm and wanted to hug her to sleep.

"Take it away, I'm playing games and I don't feel well." Shi Nianzhu's eyes didn't leave the game screen, and his body trembled.

"Hug me, I won't be able to hug you when I go home tomorrow."

Jiang Duan's voice was so close to him, it seemed to penetrate his ears along his neck. Shi Nianzhu stopped struggling and let him rest in her arms while she focused on her phone.

Jiang Duan fell asleep soon after hugging him.

The ticking of the clock was clear at night. After an unknown amount of time, Shi Nianzhu fell asleep. Only the phone with the game interface flashing on it fell beside the bed, and no one paid attention to it.

The next day, Shi Nianzhu sat up in bed and realized she had indeed gotten up late. Jiang Duan and his suitcase had vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed in this bedroom.

After washing up, he went downstairs to eat and sent a message to Jiang Duan while eating.

Yuanyuan, who costs one yuan each: Are you home?

The opponent responded almost instantly.

anian: Here we are. Just got up?

Yuanyuan, who sells for one yuan each: Don’t know me too well.

Yuanyuan, who costs one yuan each: I’ll come to see you at two o’clock in the afternoon.

Anian: Yeah. Waiting for you.

Shi Nianzhu casually sent a kiss emoticon to end the chat.

At noon, only Shi Nianzhu, Shi Jianfeng and Wang Xiulin were having lunch at home; everyone else was at the company.

After dinner, Shi Nianzhu volunteered to go to the company to deliver lunch to Shi Guilin and others to improve their diet.

He had a very good plan in mind. After delivering lunch, he could go directly to the Jiang family villa, which was killing two birds with one stone.

The only thing that made him a little shy was that Shi Lihan and Chen Yi still treated him as a child. After he delivered lunch, Shi Lihan took out some money from the drawer and stuffed it into his hand as usual.

"Today's salary."

"I'm already old, just give it back to me." Shi Nianzhu took the money and smiled shyly.

"I'll give you whatever size it is." Shi Lihan teased him, opened the thermal box, and sat at the same table with Chen Yi and Shi Guilin to eat.

"You didn't come here specifically to deliver food to us today, did you?" Shi Guilin understood.

"...It's not true, but I came here sincerely." Shi Nianzhu defended herself briefly.

"Alright, alright, no need to say more, go see Duan."

"How did you—"

"How should I know?" Shi Guilin anticipated what he was about to say. "Nonsense, you two are practically like conjoined twins."

Shi Nianzhu was speechless for a long time. He said, "I'm leaving first," and turned around to leave the company with the salary given by Shi Lihan, and got into the car parked in front of the company.

"Go to Jiang's house." He instructed the driver, wondering if he and Jiang Duan were so close.

He was lost in thought for twenty minutes before the driver's reminder brought him back to his senses.

"We're here, young master."

"Oh, go back, no need to wait for me." Shi Nianzhu unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, slammed the door casually, and walked towards Jiang Duan's house.

The walk was uneventful until he turned a corner and passed a trash can.

Ordinary people would not only avoid the trash can but also secretly look down upon it. However, Shi Nianzhu stopped and approached the trash can to listen carefully.

There was a whimpering sound like a small animal.
