Fang Jianjin stayed with Jian Xiu in the pet hospital for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them finally packed up, locked the door, and left the hospital.
"Let Qiezi and I take you home." Jian Xiu said.
"Forget it, it's still quite a distance from here. I'll call you when I get home."
"Xiao Jin, this is what I can do." Jian Xiu looked at her and said.
Fang Jianjin was stunned. She did feel sorry for his legs, so... but did this hurt his self-esteem?
Just as she was blaming herself and thinking about how to respond, Jian Xiu said, "And Eggplant wants to go out for a walk, right, Eggplant?"
As he said this, he patted Eggplant's head.
Eggplant immediately nudged his hand, then took the opportunity to look up and stick out her tongue, but he quickly pushed it away.
This interruption made the atmosphere much more relaxed.
Fang Jianjin immediately laughed, "Then we'll have to trouble our Doctor Jian and Eggplant to be the flower protectors. But Eggplant really loves to lick people, and he's always attacking us."
"I don't know who gave him this bad habit." Jian Xiu shook his head helplessly.
The two of them talked and laughed as they walked towards Fang Jianjin's house.
Although he knew that Fang Jianjin lived in the community, Jian Xiu didn't know which building her house was in, so it was a good opportunity for him to get familiar with it.
It was almost eleven o'clock and there were almost no people in the community. The two of them walked on the trail. The early summer breeze was gentle and warm, blowing towards them. The air was still filled with the fragrance of gardenias, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
At this moment, a private car drove past from the lane not far away.
"This car is driving so fast. Last time, a puppy was run over by the car at a corner. But in the end, it still needs to be towed." Fang Jianjin couldn't help but say.
"We really can't be careless." Jian Xiu agreed.
"But Eggplant is really well behaved. He rarely struggles to move forward and always follows you."
"Maybe it's because of my personality, and I think animals are really spiritual." Jian Xiu replied.
Fang Jianjin touched Qiezi's head and said, "Qiezi, you have to help me take good care of Jian Xiuxiu."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and pointed to the building not far away. "That's where my home is, 1702. You can see the set here. Let's stop here, otherwise you'll have to cross the street."
"Okay." Jian Xiu didn't insist this time.
Fang Jianjin bent down and moved his face closer.
Just when Jian Xiu was stunned, she suddenly attacked and kissed him on the lips.
"Okay, I'm leaving!" After the sneak attack, she waved and ran away.
Jian Xiu looked at her back and couldn't help but raise his hand. He thought of something and his ears turned slightly red.
In the past, when I saw other couples kissing and hugging, I thought these things were really childish and boring, but now that it’s my turn, I just feel warm in my heart.
"Jian Xiu Xiu?" He couldn't help but chuckle.
At this moment, Eggplant suddenly attacked, and this time, he failed to defend himself.
The next moment, he quickly held down Eggplant's head, feeling helpless and angry, but he couldn't help but think: Is it because his mother is always so close to his father when she is at home, so he learned it?
Thinking of his loving parents, he pursed his lips, then turned his wheelchair and walked back.
A man and a dog, their bodies stretched out by the street lights.

On this side, Fang Jianjin couldn't help humming a song all the way home.
But after opening the door and seeing the lights on in the house, her heart skipped a beat. She looked down and saw her parents' shoes on the carpet.
"Why are you back so late?" Fang's mother's voice came over.
Fang Jianjin was so scared that she quickly put the thermos on the shoe-changing stool, then stepped forward and blocked it with her body.
Just as he blocked it, Fang's mother appeared in the entrance garden and asked, "Where have you been playing?"
"Mom, why are you back?" Fang Jianjin asked back.
"We'll be back as soon as the car comes back. Where have you been so late at night?"
"I didn't go anywhere. I was busy taking care of stray dogs and it was too late when I came back." Fang Jianjin said quickly. This answer did not have time and place, so it would not be easy to be exposed.
"I see you've almost finished the ribs, and you even remember to clean up afterward. That's good."
Fang Jianjin smiled guiltily, but thought to herself: Fortunately I didn’t make up a story and said that I went to have dinner with Lu Shanshan. She almost forgot about the spare ribs!
The kitchen was a little messed up because she had been fiddling around at the stove for a while, but it was still clean, so Fang's mother mistakenly thought she had eaten at home.
She let out a breath and saw Fang's mother turned around and went back to the living room. She didn't even have time to change her shoes. She hurriedly hid the thermos behind her in the storage room next to her. Then she took a deep breath, changed her shoes, and walked into the living room pretending to be calm.
Fang's mother was busy packing up, but Fang's father was sitting on the sofa, which was unusual for him. He didn't look at his phone or watch the sports channel. He just sat there in a daze.
"Dad." Fang Jianjin shouted.
Before Fang's father could answer, Fang's mother's voice rang out, "Fang Xinghua, what are you doing sitting on the sofa? Hurry and help me carry my backpack in. What time is it? It's time to wash up and go to bed."
Father Fang glanced at Fang Jianjin, then quickly took his bag and went into the bedroom.
Fang Jianjin felt that something was wrong with her father, but considering that they had just attended a funeral, it was normal. She did not bother to guess what was going on and quickly turned around and went to the storage room, took out the thermos and sneaked into the kitchen.
She had to put the things back where they belonged quickly, otherwise her mother, with her sharp eyes, would definitely notice that the thermos was missing!
Her mother has a fixed number of places for everything. The thermos is rarely used, so it is placed on the second layer of the wall cabinet.
Fang Jianjin opened the cabinet door and tiptoed to stuff the thermos in. She breathed a sigh of relief just as she finished putting it in, but when she turned around, she found her father standing at the door. She was so scared that she screamed "Ah".
"What do you call it late at night?"
Fang's mother's voice came from the master bedroom.
Fang's father looked at Fang Jianjin with a serious face, which made Fang Jianjin feel guilty and even couldn't help swallowing.
Just when she was terrified, Father Fang suddenly replied in a hoarse voice: "Nothing, Xiao Jin saw a cockroach."
After saying that, he lowered his voice and said to the other party, "Follow me to the balcony."
Fang Jianjin's heart skipped a beat. Looking at her father's silent back, she had a bad feeling in her heart, but she quickly forced herself to calm down.
Isn't it just a thermos? Just say it's for Lu Shanshan! Okay, that's what I said.
When she got to the balcony, she had already prepared the answer, waiting for her father to ask about the thermos. But her father's question was not about that, but -
"What's going on between you and the doctor at the veterinary hospital?"
Fang Jianjin was stunned.
Father Fang continued, "When the car drove by just now, I saw you two together. If I hadn't spoken to your mother quickly, she would have seen it too. Tell me, what happened?"
Fang Jianjin never expected that he would be caught like this.
It turns out that the private car that was driving so fast was the car her parents were riding in. How lucky is she?!
