Chapter 21 Full Responsibility
◎Is it convenient for me to come up? Now.◎
These days, colleagues have been saying that Zhong Jiajing seems to have a "dog" at home, and she is very active when she gets home every day. But who knows that she really has a dog at home?
Apart from work, she had declined all unnecessary socializing during this time, devoting herself entirely to the softness of her furry companion's nest. Yu Qiuya had often denigrated Ji Nan as a top-tier vixen, saying that if he were a gigolo in Japan, he could have ripped Zhong Jiajing's pants off, and she would still happily be counting his money.
Ye Yaying, my college roommate, was also quite dissatisfied. "If you had studied veterinary medicine, I seriously doubt you would have reported to Ji Nan every detail of your dog's poop, including its color, shape, and even its weight."
Zhong Jiajing didn't comment, and continued to happily record each furry child's toilet time, rice quantity, sleep time and other trivial matters and send them to Ji Nan every day.
When she got home from work that day, Zhong Jiajing gathered with the babies and smoked heavily as usual, just like an addict who couldn't quit.
Duoduo, who was usually the most active, was a little unusual today. He just shook his tail perfunctorily and then lay on the sofa, refusing to move. He was not even as enthusiastic as Dongdong, who was a lazy person.
"Do you miss your daddy?" Zhong Jiajing asked, scratching its furry chin.
Duoduo snored twice, but the meaning of her words was unclear.
Zhong Jiajing was thinking about the reason, but when she lowered her eyes, she saw a small bloodstain on the sofa fabric under the dog's butt.
Looking to the side, I saw some liquid dripping onto the ground.
Zhong Jiajing was frightened and suspected that Duoduo was hit somewhere while running wildly, so she quickly lifted one of her dog legs to check her lower body.
But it was obviously not a wound. According to her common sense, it was probably just the dog's menstrual period.
She was a little at a loss, as she had no experience in handling a dog's menstrual period.
She picked up her phone and opened Baidu to ask a question, but then she heard Ji Nan’s video call coming in.
"Are you busy today?" She didn't video call him at the exact time as usual.
He should be sitting in an outdoor coffee shop. It was dark and leaves on the road fell from time to time under the dim light.
Zhong Jiajing sniffed and spoke hesitantly, "Ji Nan, Duoduo must be having her period."
Ji Nan paused for a moment while holding the coffee, then thought for a moment before speaking calmly, "It seems like it's about time."
"Sorry, I've been busy lately and forgot." He looked up at her, "Duoduo's menstrual period usually comes once every six months, and each lasts about two weeks."
"Don't worry, he might be a little slower and more irritable than usual during this period, and he'll probably be reluctant to go out. That's all normal. I just hope you can clean him regularly with the wet wipes in the black bag."
He pursed his lips and continued, "Also, you don't need to buy special sanitary napkins for dogs. If you have sleeping pants, you can use them directly on it."
Although we live in an open society in the new era, it is still a bit strange for men and women who are not close to each other to discuss such topics.
"Yes." Zhong Jiajing replied weakly.
Seeing her take out a pair of pajamas from the cabinet and open them, Ji Nan suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and continued to instruct, "Cut a cross near the tail, then put it on normally and take out the tail."
Zhong Jiajing did as she was told. After she finished, she leaned in front of the camera and asked him, "Do dogs also suffer from dysmenorrhea?"
Ji Nan nodded, "Yeah, usually at times like this he loves having his belly rubbed the most."
"Okay, I have more experience than you in this matter, and I will do it well later." Zhong Jiajing said.
"Thank you for your help. If there is any dirt at home, you can contact the cleaning staff to come and clean it. I will be fully responsible." He left a final sentence.
Duoduo did look a lot more listless during this period. He loved to stay in his bed with a new quilt all day long. He even lost interest in eating only a few bites of the dog meals that Zhong Jiajing learned to make online, and he didn't even step out of the door.
But there are other energetic puppies at home. After Zhong Jiajing comforts Dongdong, she will still take Hei Ya out for a walk alone.
When the elevator was halfway down, a slightly plump man walked in. He looked older than himself.
Zhong Jiajing didn't care. She just took a look and then pulled the dog to the opposite corner.
The man's frequent glances back made Zhong Jiajing feel uncomfortable. She tried to glare back, but to no avail. He only gave her more unscrupulous gazes.
Zhong Jiajing's scalp was tingling, but she still had to remain calm.
The elevator was cramped, and with no one else present, she didn't dare start an argument. Otherwise, with the disparity in physical strength between men and women, she would be left with nothing to show for it, which would be very disadvantageous to her.
After finally holding her breath until the elevator reached the first floor, Zhong Jiajing grabbed the dog leash and prepared to rush out of this scary place.
The door had just opened a crack when the man standing next to the elevator button suddenly raised his hand and pressed the door closing button.
Zhong Jiajing frowned, "Sorry, I need to go out."
The fat man raised his hand and pressed her shoulder. "Beautiful girl, would you like to meet me?"
Zhong Jiajing suppressed her discomfort and slapped his hand away. The small space was filled with the strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol coming from the foul-smelling man, which was nauseating.
"Sorry, I have a boyfriend." She quickly reached out to press the door button and ran out with the dog.
"What does it matter? If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, he won't find out." The fat man trotted over and caught up with her, then leaned close to her and gave her a greasy smile.
Zhong Heiya is still a puppy, and usually looks stupid. He doesn't seem to have any deterrent power at all. Those who bully the weak and fear the strong will certainly not take him seriously.
Zhong Jiajing was so nervous that she couldn't stop shaking.
It was quite unfortunate that there was no one around at the moment. She strode forward, determined to quickly reach the security booth ahead.
Zhong Heiya saw her fear and also felt the bad aura of the man chasing after her. It bared its teeth and began to bark at the man.
This was the first time Zhong Jiajing had seen it like this. Due to its previous wandering and short-term inappropriate adoption, its personality was actually quite weak. Most of the time, when it was wronged or bullied, it would just hide in a corner and cry secretly.
But today its courage suddenly surged, and it was like a mature big dog, showing its sharp teeth to the enemy, looking extremely ferocious.
In fact, anyone who commits a crime knows very well what he can and cannot do. He knows that he will pick on the weak and will also know that he will have to run away with the strong.
People like them are clear-headed, but they always like to use some foolish excuses to excuse themselves.
Zhong Heiya was originally an ordinary Chinese pastoral dog, commonly known as a native dog. This kind of dog does look a bit intimidating. Seeing this, the man became a little scared and finally turned around and left.
Zhong Jiajing hugged the puppy and kissed and hugged it, "You are worthy of being the baby that mom picked up. Mom really loves you to death."
But the fear left from before could not be erased. She went to the property management to explain the matter, but because the man did not cause any substantial harm, even if the property management stood firmly on her side to protect her rights, it would not cause any trouble.
I have completely lost interest in walking the dog, and now I only have a vague feeling of fear in my heart.
Zhong Heiya was very sensible and stopped clamoring to go out. Instead, he followed Zhong Jiajing back home obediently.
After arriving home, she checked the doors and windows several times before sitting down with peace of mind.
After much hesitation, she finally sent a message in the community group.
[There's a drunk, overweight, middle-aged man on the 11th floor of Building X who maliciously harasses women. Everyone, please be careful when you go out.]
The community is mostly populated by young single people, and the enthusiastic people responded positively and strongly demanded that the property management strengthen management. Only after the management staff promised to increase patrols and inspections in the near future did the group return to calm.
There were signs that it was going to rain, and soon it started to thunder. The occasional flash of lightning made the house flicker and Zhong Jiajing's heart beat fast, unable to calm down.
It was just past eight in the evening, and for some unknown reason, several furry friends had abandoned their own little nests and were lying neatly on her 1.5-meter-tall bed, wagging their tails.
She was feeling a little down today, and had no desire to play with her phone. She didn't even want to turn on the light, and just sank into bed with them.
Dongdong's entire body pressed against her chest. She didn't push him away. Instead, she felt more at ease with this weight on her heart.
Ji Nan felt heavy and uncomfortable that day. After discussing the final work details, he decided to call Zhong Jiajing to confirm.
"What's wrong?" Her voice was muffled and unclear.
Ji Nan heard the distinct sound of thunder coming from the other end of the phone. "Nothing, I just wanted to call and ask, is it raining over there?"
The curtains were not drawn, and the sky could be seen over the brightly lit city.
"No, just like a little brat, all I do is yell but I don't cry."
He was obviously joking, but his mood was not very excited.
Ji Nan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you unhappy today? Did your boss exploit you again?"
"No, I just met a pervert." She murmured.
"Can I listen? I want to see what other disgusting creatures are able to live on this planet without any shame." He spoke softly, trying to guide her to continue.
Zhong Jiajing originally lacked an outlet for venting, so after finding the right tree hole, she began to complain endlessly.
Ji Nan listened patiently, occasionally agreeing with his sharp tongue.
"That's about it. I feel much better after scolding him." Zhong Jiajing thanked him. "Thank you for listening to all my nonsense. I won't bother you anymore while you continue making money. See you tomorrow."
Ji Nan should go back tomorrow.
He glanced at the time on his phone, thought for a moment, and then hailed a taxi. "Driver, to Nanjing South Railway Station."
When we arrived downstairs of Zhong Jiajing's residential complex, it was already 11:40 in the evening.
The ground was still dry, and not a drop of rain fell from the howling sky.
This was the second time that Ji Nan stood at the bottom of this building in the early morning, but his mood was a little different. This time, he made his choice with his mind fully awake.
The light in the room upstairs was dim. He looked up for a moment, only to see the light come on again.
He raised his hand and typed on his phone.
【Have you slept yet?】
The answer is of course no. Zhong Jiajing had trouble sleeping that night. The hypnotic sound of rain did not fall, and the annoyance in her heart continued to accumulate.
The cats and dogs that had regular sleep schedules also couldn't sleep tonight. They all stayed around her with their eyes open and refused to leave.
Ji Nan sent a voice message, "Is it convenient for me to come up? Now."
