Fang Jianjin sat on the coffee table in the backyard waiting. Looking at the pot of cherries on the table, she felt a little restless, afraid that something tender and white would crawl out of the cherries.
Half an hour later, Jian Xiu came out after completing the operation.
"There's no need to be so anxious if you want to explain." Jian Xiu came over pushing the wheelchair.
Fang Jianjin choked. She didn't expect that she couldn't continue the first sentence he said.
"Well, actually... besides explaining, I also have something else to ask you."
"Then explain first."
“…”
Afterwards, Fang Jianjin pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and told her all the details about how her cousin heard her say that Jian Xiu was her boyfriend in the hotel that day and spread false information in the family group, which led to her grandmother's misunderstanding and eventually led to the current situation.
"It's not that I didn't deny it. The situation was quite special at the time, and my grandma has a bad heart. This is just a misunderstanding. I just went home and explained it clearly. My grandma won't misunderstand me again in the future." Fang Jianjin was also very helpless. Finally, he apologized, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
After listening to the whole story, Jian Xiu was silent for a moment, then said, "In that case, it's actually me who has caused you trouble. I'm sorry."
Fang Jianjin felt a little uncomfortable with his sudden and serious apology, and quickly waved her hands, "No, no, it's all right, just talk it out. By the way, I came to see you about something else. There's new news about Keke's adoption."
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone, opened the information collection form, and handed it to Jian Xiu.
"This is Chen Xinye, the girl who treated the Pomeranian for parvovirus at your pet hospital. She's the one whose dog was called Lele and cried. You should still remember her."
Jian Xiu nodded, "She wants to adopt Coco?"
"Well, she's in very good condition and very loving towards pets. Most importantly, she understands Coco's situation. She also has a Pomeranian at home, so she understands their habits and has experience in taking care of them. I sent the information to our core group, and everyone thinks this adoption is feasible."
Jian Xiu read the form carefully and then asked the same question as her.
"She already has a dog, why would she adopt another?"
"I asked her, and she wants to find a companion for her little Lele." At this point, Fang Jianjin sighed and couldn't help but speculate, "Maybe it's because she's like that, and she doesn't want the little one to be alone."
Upon hearing this, Jian Xiu tilted his head to look at her without saying anything.
Fang Jianjin suddenly became curious and couldn't help asking him, "I'm curious, under what circumstances do people cling to the past and refuse to let go?"
She was actually more curious about why Ji Mi kept pestering Jian Xiu, but she was too embarrassed to ask.
"Tell me, what kind of relationship would make you give up face, dignity... everything, and just want to be with the other person?"
Jian Xiu did not comment on other people's affairs. He replied coldly, "I don't know."
"Tsk!" Fang Jianjin glanced at him, then couldn't help but ask and answer herself, "Ah, maybe it was because things were so beautiful in the past, so when it was destroyed, it was so heartbreaking, and she couldn't bear to leave in a decent way? But, that boy is really heartless."
Jian Xiu was slightly stunned, and the scene of Chen Xinye crying heart-wrenchingly in the bathroom of their pet hospital emerged in her mind, as well as the details of her and her ex-boyfriend's interactions in the pet hospital.
The two of them should indeed have had a beautiful past, but——
"It's better for a boy to be heartless than to give her false hope," he replied.
"Oh." Fang Jianjin nodded, then looked up at him, "Doctor Jian, you know a lot about it. It seems you've had this conversation before?"
"From your perspective, people who don't know will think you've talked about it before," Jian Xiu replied.
This is a blatant attack on virgin singles.
"I! I... I haven't had a relationship with one, but have you?" Fang Jianjin asked back.
Her bright eyes stared at him like that. Jian Xiu was slightly startled, then looked at her and asked, "Why should I tell you?"
Fang Jianjin's brows moved slightly, and she felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him.
She was about to look away, but she caught a glimpse of something and immediately pointed at his ears and laughed, "Doctor Jian, your ears seem red?"
Jian Xiu immediately avoided her gaze.
"No way, Dr. Jane, are you shy? Oh, I get it. Have you been single since birth and have never been in a relationship? Huh?" After saying that, she burst out laughing and couldn't help laughing anymore.
But the way she said it sounded as if she was not single since birth.
As he was smiling, a cherry was suddenly stuffed into his mouth.
Fang Jianjin looked down and saw Jian Xiu retracting his hand. Then he felt something between his lips and teeth. His expression suddenly changed drastically and he quickly spat out the cherry.
"Jian Xiu!"
The next moment, she grabbed a cherry and leaned over to stuff it into Jian Xiu's mouth.
Jian Xiu quickly put his hand to cover his mouth.
Liu Shengyi was about to come to the backyard to get something when he saw Jian Xiu covering his lips and Fang Jianjin rushing towards him.
“I’ll go!”
His voice immediately stopped Fang Jianjin.
"Go on, go on, I didn't see anything!" Liu Shengyi quickly turned around and left.
Fang Jianjin was stunned, and realized from his tone that he had misunderstood something. When she turned her head, she saw Jian Zheng covering her mouth with her hands, looking like a young wife being bullied by her.
Fang Jianjin: "..."
She stepped back quickly, but accidentally tripped over the leg of a stool and fell backwards.
"ah!"
She screamed subconsciously, and then she felt her wrist tighten, her body was pulled up by a strong force, and then she fell forward due to inertia.
Then--
Their foreheads were touching, their noses touching, their warm breaths close at hand.
Jian Xiu's eyes are so beautiful, so beautiful that it seems as if they are under a spell.
Fang Jianjin felt like she was under some kind of spell. Otherwise, why was she immobilized? Why was her heart so unresponsive, as if it was about to jump out of her chest?
The wind in late spring is so warm and gentle that it is blinding.
Jian Xiu stared at the peaceful and beautiful face in front of him, feeling only a gentle light falling into his eyes, and his heartbeat seemed to become abnormal.
The next moment, Fang Jianjin saw him blink slightly.
She was startled instantly, quickly pushed him away, stood up, and turned her back.
Her heart was pounding, and her head was a mess, unable to think.
"Ahem, um... let's talk about adoption."
After a while, Jian Xiu's voice sounded behind him.
It was obvious that he was not comfortable either.
"Okay, okay." Fang Jianjin finally pulled out the stool in front of her and sat down. However, she didn't dare look at him. Instead, she stared at her phone screen and said, "If you think it's okay, I'll contact Ye Zi. It happens to be the weekend today, so it would be convenient for her to come over and take the dog home."
"I think it's okay, please contact me."
"good."
