Having finished the meat bones, the snow lion licked its nose contentedly, shook its head, and ran towards Xue Qiandai, howling at the door.
"It wants you to go for a walk with it," Huo Yunchao explained.
Xue Qiandai stood up from the sofa and stretched. "Okay, Mom will take you to digest your food, so you don't become a fat dog."
Snow Lion howled again, expressing its strong protest against the nickname "fat dog." Had anyone ever seen such a majestic, lion-like fat dog? Mom's Chinese language skills are terrible.
Huo Yunchao changed into a pair of comfortable sneakers and naturally put his arm around Xue Qiandai's slender waist, saying, "Let's be a family."
Xue Qiandai stared intently at her beautiful Huo. Since her father's imprisonment and the family's decline, she had lost her home. The word "home" was the most luxurious word to her. "Say it again, okay?"
Huo Yunchao held her fingertips and gently stroked them, as if making a promise, "I say, Snow Lion, you and I are family."
Faced with such beauty, Xue Qiandai grinned, her smile unrestrained and radiant, "You, me, and Xue Shi are family."
The beauty is put first, and the snow lion comes second.
The snow lion, now of lower status, rushed out of the room to calm down and process the fact that it would no longer enjoy the exclusive favor it was once again the only one receiving.
Kunyu Bay is a high-rise community that Huo Yunchao purchased when he graduated. Its main advantage is its proximity to Tsinghua University and the good public greening in the community. However, it is not as good as a villa, which has its own private gate and yard.
The snow lion frolicked ahead with practiced ease, while a couple followed closely behind, their fingers intertwined. The park's streetlights cast long, intertwined shadows of them.
"Beautiful lady, with your current net worth, why don't you consider buying a villa? It's good for asset allocation," Xue Qiandai suggested with a smile.
Ha, Li Xing said the same thing. But Huo Yunchao was too busy, and all the rare time he could spare was for Xue Qiandai. He whispered in Dai Dai's ear, "Can I ask my girlfriend for advice? She can be your neighbor, you know."
Xue Qiandai naturally wanted to live next door to the beauty, but it wasn't possible. "Beauty, my villa is just a temporary studio with limited appreciation potential. I'll be moving there eventually anyway. Besides, you have a senior villa investment consultant by your side."
Huo Yunchao smiled without saying a word, then changed the subject, "How's your men's autumn clothing design coming along?"
Xue Qiandai immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, pulling down her ears, "Beauty, please grant me inspiration."
This stumped Huo Yunchao. "I don't understand design."
Xue Qiandai had a sudden inspiration, her eyes sparkling, "But you're a natural clothes hanger."
Dark clouds gradually obscured the stars, and a night breeze blew, dispelling the heat and dryness.
Suddenly, raindrops began to fall.
Seven or eight stars beyond the sky, two or three raindrops before the mountain.
"Snow Lion!" Huo Yunchao shouted, shielding Xue Qiandai's head with his arm and carrying her as they ran towards home.
————————
After 10:30 p.m., a light rain fell in the capital. The hustle and bustle subsided, adding a touch of coolness and comfort to the city.
A taxi stopped at the alley entrance. This area, bordering Chaoyang, Shunyi, and Tongzhou, wasn't particularly bustling, but its future plans were promising, including large-scale commercial developments and a subway line. However, these plans hadn't yet materialized.
This is also Yu Xue's residence.
A young woman, with only three years' worth of income after graduation, bought her own independent residence. In this respect, she has already surpassed many young people who migrate to Beijing for work. Moreover, she also took out a loan to buy a car.
Because of the license plate restriction policy, Yu Xue did not drive today.
Her high heels splashed mud in the shallow puddles. She shielded her head from the rain with her bag and lifted her long skirt in annoyance.
The alleyway entrance was still somewhat dark because the streetlights were broken.
After walking a few steps, she heard the sound of a car speeding behind her and immediately judged that the car was going very fast.
She turned around abruptly, the headlights flashing brightly, blinding her. She instinctively raised her arm, and the car suddenly appeared much larger in her field of vision.
"Bang!"
The car crashed into her, and Yu Xue was sent flying seven or eight meters away like a kite with a broken string.
Blood gushed out from beneath her, mingling with the rainwater.
Her thoughts became scattered, and her vision became increasingly blurry. She vaguely saw that the car that drove away had a license plate ending in "49".
Was she destined to die in Beijing?
————————
The family of three, including their dog, has returned home.
The snow lion shook its mane, scattering water droplets all over the ground.
"Snow Lion!" Mom was furious.
The snow lion hid in its doghouse, turning itself into a quiet quail, full of survival instinct.
Huo Yunchao, ever the considerate one, went to the bathroom and turned on the shower. "Dai Dai, go take a shower, be careful not to catch a cold."
With an "Oh," Xue Qiandai changed into slippers and went into the bathroom. Just as she was about to close the door, Huo Yunchao reached in with an arm. "Last time, you said," he said slowly, deliberately teasing her, "that you wanted a bath together. Does that still count?"
Xue Qiandai's ears turned bright red.
Her ladylike image was completely ruined. Unexpectedly, she pushed his arm and slammed the door shut like a whirlwind. Leaning against the door, she patted her chest and let out a long sigh. "Xue Qiandai, Xue Qiandai, isn't this exactly what you've been hoping for? Why did you chicken out at the last minute?"
She timidly opened the door, revealing only a sliver of it, but to her dismay, the beauty was not there.
With a snort, Xue Qiandai slammed the door shut and went to the beauty bath alone.
I scrubbed the floor very hard and washed for a long time, and my skin started to turn red.
When she finished showering, she walked out confidently, wrapped in a bath towel. She even managed to make the pristine white towel look like an evening gown. Huo Yunchao, clutching his change of clothes and with his hair still dripping wet, stared at her for three seconds, his Adam's apple bobbing.
