Chapter 5
Chapter 5
"You rich people, do you only buy one set of sportswear in your lifetime?"
“We are rich people—” Chen Ye swung the leash in his hand, and the ending tone also swung and dragged, “Generally, we like to buy ten sets of the same thing at a time.”
Shu Yao: “…”
You are awesome!
"It's okay, it's okay. We're old classmates, it's fate." Zhao Tiantian immediately reached out to help, handing him her graduate student certificate and a screenshot from the China Higher Education Student Information and Career Center website. "Here's my information. I'll leave it with you."
Shen Ye took it, looked down, then looked up at Shu Yao: "What about you?"
Shu Yao was startled: "You want both?"
Shen Ye remained calm, as if to say: What do you think?
Shu Yao is aphasic.
She pulled her work ID from her bag and said, "I'm not a student anymore. Is this okay?"
After Chen Ye took it, he handed the leash to Shu Yao. The puppy lay on the ground with its eyes closed, looking sleepy. It was not until the leash pulled it that it slowly opened its eyelids, but remained motionless.
As expected of Chen Ye, even the dog he raised treated everyone equally and ignored them.
Shu Yao squatted down and tried to touch its head.
The puppy looked at her intently for a few times, as if it suddenly came to life. It stood up, raised its legs forward, squeezed in between her and Zhao Tiantian, and rubbed Shu Yao's legs.
Shu Yao bent down and scratched its head. The little guy seemed to like it very much, with his eyes half closed and looked very well-behaved.
Zhao Tiantian asked curiously, "What's it called?"
Shen Ye: "Local dog."
Zhao Tiantian: "I'm not asking about the variety, I'm asking about the name."
Chen Ye: “Also called earth dog.”
Shu Yao and Zhao Tiantian were both stunned.
"..." Zhao Tiantian's mouth twitched when she saw the little dog's innocent face. "It looks good. It looks good."
Even until Chen Ye turned around and went home, Zhao Tiantian had not yet recovered from the shock brought by this name.
She took the leash from Shu Yao's hand, but the little guy kept sticking to Shu Yao's feet, circling around her the whole time, and refused to leave.
Zhao Tiantian jokingly said, "It's the first time I've seen it, why is it so attached to you?"
"I don't know." Shu Yao squatted down, scratched its chin, looked up at Zhao Tiantian and smiled, "But I think I do get along well with it."
"Heh." Zhao Tiantian said leisurely, "I think you and Chen Ye get along well."
*
The two of them took their dog to the central park.
Shu Yao held it and sat on the lawn, taking out the dog food he had prepared early in the morning from his bag.
Zhao Tiantian took a few photos of this harmonious scene and prepared to wish the dog owner peace, but when she was about to send them, she remembered that she had forgotten to ask Chen Ye for his contact information.
But it just so happened that I helped Shu Yao to ask for it from others a few days ago.
Zhao Tiantian found the business card and pressed the friend request, but ten minutes passed and Shen Ye still hadn't accepted it.
Zhao Tiantian patted Shu Yao's shoulder and said, "I'll send you the photo. Please forward it to Chen Ye for me. I've added him for a long time, but he hasn't accepted it yet."
"Okay." Shu Yao didn't think too much about it and picked out a few photos that only showed dogs and sent them over.
Another ten minutes passed and the dog owner did not respond.
Zhao Tiantian was speechless: "Shen Ye is too confident in us, right? He doesn't even check his phone."
"He saw it, but he was too lazy to reply because it wasn't important." Shu Yao patted the dog's butt, and it wisely jumped off her legs.
Zhao Tiantian didn't believe it: "How do you know?"
Shu Yao blurted out: "He used to be like this."
"No." Zhao Tiantian looked like Conan who had just discovered the truth, with her tiger's mouth resting on her chin and her eyes narrowed. "I didn't realize you two were so familiar with each other before?"
The early summer sun shines through the gaps between the trees and falls before our eyes, shining brightly.
"I wouldn't call it familiarity." Shu Yao looked at the intersection of light and darkness and answered ambiguously, "It's just that when you and Xu Zhaoli were being sweet and sweet together, I saw him several times. He read the messages but didn't reply. One time, I asked him out of curiosity, and he said he was too lazy to reply."
"He didn't even bother to reply. Why did he reply to you that day? Didn't you just send a 'hi'?"
Shu Yao thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you say it? I'm holding a grudge."
The rope in Shu Yao's hand was pulled, and the puppy seemed to see something. It suddenly raised its head and rushed out excitedly.
Shu Yao didn't pay attention and was dragged to the side of the road.
There, a little girl was walking towards us with a snow-white Pomeranian. The Pomeranian had a bow tied around its neck, and it looked like a little princess in the dog world.
Shu Yao lowered his head and looked at the dog intently.
Finally understood.
It turns out that you have taken a fancy to her.
Shu Yao pulled the leash, but the dog didn't move. Shu Yao had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, so just in case, she took a picture of the situation and sent it to Chen Ye for help.
【What should I do? It seems to have fallen in love. 】
This time, when it came to his son's lifelong event, Chen Ye quickly replied: "It's okay, I'll climb up by myself in a while."
Why does it sound so commonplace?
"..." Shu Yao sat cross-legged on the lawn, stroking its head with a smile, "Your master doesn't seem to be interested in women, so why did he raise such a colorful dog?"
The puppy doesn't understand.
The puppy only has eyes for the little princess.
But the little princess looked arrogant and didn't take the little dog next to her seriously at all.
Not long after, another uncle joined the battle with a Border Collie.
The little princess was obviously attracted, and the two puppies with perfect looks wagged their tails and clung to each other.
The little dog could only stand there dejectedly, with its tail drooping.
Shu Yao took another photo: [It's over, the little princess found her crush, and it seems sad.]
Chen Ye: [It’s not sad.]
Shu Yao: [But its tail is drooping. I don’t know what it’s thinking.]
Chen Ye: [Thinking about how to intervene. ]
Shu Yao: “…”
How can a dog have so many bad intentions?
Shu Yao didn't leave either, but just waited curiously. As he waited, the atmosphere between the Pomeranian and Border Collie suddenly took a turn for the worse.
The body is arched and the eyes are glaring.
Like a young couple who have become enemies.
The leash in Shu Yao's hand was pulled at this moment, and the puppy joined the battle and rubbed the Pomeranian's head.
Then he barked at the Border Collie.
He is completely different from the lazy look just now.
In the end, the uncle left the stage with regret, taking the Border Collie with him. He pointed at the Border Collie with disappointment and joked that he had not lived up to expectations.
Zhao Tiantian, who was standing by, held her face in her hands and sighed, "Good boy, he turned out to be a little stray dog who protects his calf."
Shu Yao couldn't help laughing as he looked at the puppy clinging to the lawn.
Zhao Tiantian sighed again: "Don't say, this dog, it really looks like whoever raises it. If Chen Ye were to fall in love, he would probably be like this."
"Why are you cursing for no reason?"
"I'm not insulting you, I'm praising you." Zhao Tiantian nudged her with her elbow. "Hey, I have one last question for you."
"What?"
"You two are a match made in heaven, and he perfectly meets your criteria for a husband..."
"It's a fake husband!" Shu Yao corrected immediately.
"Alright, alright. Anyway, are you attracted to him? If so, I'll help you find him! Just as a thank you for your help back then."
"How do you feel moved?"
"That's right, my heart is beating faster, my ears are burning, and I can't look straight at them."
Shu Yao pondered for a moment: "I had this feeling during my graduation thesis defense."
Zhao Tiantian: "..."

The dog cured most of my messy mood.
late at night.
Shu Yao was lying on the bed looking through the photos taken during the day, one of which was taken when she returned the dog.
The little guy rubbed against her trouser leg and refused to leave.
In the end, Shen Ye forcibly carried her into the community.
Although she likes dogs, she also feels that it is extremely rare to find a puppy that is so pleasing to her eyes.
I couldn't help but feel annoyed.
If I had known earlier when I left, I would have made an appointment with him to walk the dog next time?
Shu Yao opened the chat interface with Chen Ye and typed a few words hesitantly: [You still...]
But before I could finish the call, a phone call came in unexpectedly.
When I saw the notes, that feeling of powerlessness came back again.
Shu Yao deleted the half-written message and made sufficient mental preparation before pressing the answer button, ready to accept the "ideological education" from her mother as someone who had experienced it.
Unexpectedly, this time, when Shu Meiru spoke, she was not as serious as usual, but seemed to be a little happy.
"Have you slept yet?"
"Getting ready for bed."
"Then don't sleep yet."
“…”
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a boyfriend? If your aunt hadn't seen the photo and sent it to me, were you planning on keeping it a secret for the rest of your life?"
Shu Yao was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was referring to the candid photo taken on the subway.
Before the original, highly popular post was deleted, two or three marketing accounts had already reposted the pictures. Shu Yao didn't have the energy to send private messages to each of them, so he could only hope for the best, thinking that the number of comments and reposts would be in the single digits, and that only a few people would see it.
Unexpectedly...my aunt is one of them.
"us……"
"Mom asked you to go on a blind date for your own good. You should have told me earlier that you had a boyfriend. Why would I waste my time on this?"
Shu Yao originally wanted to explain, but Shu Meiru's words made him swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Recently, she is in the testing period of promotion and she doesn't want to be distracted by pressure to get married.
Anyway, my mother won’t come to Fuchuan, and she doesn’t know Chen Ye, so I might as well just get through this period and tell her later that we’ve broken up.
Late at night, people tend to be impulsive.
Shu Yao thought so and said so.
"We've just been together for a short time. I thought I'd tell you when our relationship is stable."
"You kid! Okay, okay!" Shu Meiru sounded really happy.
This made Shu Yao's emotions a little complicated. He felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt guilty as if he was carrying a bigger burden.
"What kind of job does that boy do? What's his educational background?" Shu Meiru asked again.
"I just came back from studying abroad and working..." Shu Yao didn't know and could only make it up.
The first answer that popped into her mind was programmer, because she vaguely remembered seeing someone mention in a classmate group that Shen Ye studied computer science in college.
However, as for a programmer, her mother may not even know what he does specifically and will most likely not be satisfied with it.
Shu Yao gave up and said, "I work in a public institution."
As expected, my mother had no objection: "That's great, that's great. When the relationship is more stable, I'll bring him back to meet her."
"good."
After chatting for a few more words, Shu Yao hung up the phone and let out a deep breath.
Shen Ye's impeccable face suddenly appeared in my mind.
She pulled the quilt up to cover her face guiltily.
Just briefly, to borrow his name.
He should...
You wouldn't know, right?
