What sin did you commit?

What sin did you commit?

Shen Xingyan is very dedicated and takes Gu Qiuqiu for a walk once in the morning and once in the evening every day. Gu Qiuqiu was really depressed, with an unhappy face, and was even gloomy when she went out. No matter how Shen Xingyan teased it, it just wasn't interested.

Shen Xingyan bought it a toy, but it got bored after playing with it for a while. What made Shen Xingyan even more depressed was that the dog had its own ideas. Every time they go out, it walks in front. Although Shen Xingyan holds the leash, he is the one being led.

She really wanted to take back the initiative, but Gu Qiuqiu didn't give her any chance. She had just taken two steps on the leash when Gu Qiuqiu ran up to her and barked at her, as if to say that she was in the wrong place.

Shen Xingyan pointed at his nose and said, "You are a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. If it were Gu Fang, would you dare to do that?"

Gu Qiuqiu barked twice with a look of disdain, as if to say, "So what if I am just a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong?"

After two days of fighting wits and courage with Gu Qiuqiu, Shen Xingyan gave up.

She complained in the office that An Xin was always happy, while Bao Wu sometimes looked worried.

When An Xin was away, Shen Xingyan asked Bao Wu where Gu Fang had been. It had been two days and no one had been seen of him.

Bao Wu rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't ask around."

Shen Xingyan felt that something must have happened to Gu Fang, and it must be a big deal, otherwise Bao Wu would not have kept silent.

Two more days passed and Gu Fang still hadn't shown up. Every time Shen Xingyan went to his house, she was greeted by Gu Qiuqiu's call. She stroked the dog's head and asked, "Where has your father been during this time? The New Year is coming soon, and the bureau will be closed the day after tomorrow. If your father doesn't come back, you will have to spend the New Year with me."

"Woof woof!" Gu Qiuqiu rubbed her legs, asking for shelter.

Shen Lan called Shen Xingyan early in the morning and asked her to go to her place to celebrate the New Year after the holiday.

In the original owner's memory, Shen Lan's home was a small courtyard with many roses planted in the yard and a glass house built. The room is large and decorated in a pastoral style, with small flowers everywhere.

Sometimes she wondered how someone as romantic as Shen Lan could live with Chen Hua, who was just a rough guy.

On New Year's Eve, Gu Fang did not show up. Shen Xingyan went downstairs carrying her bag and leading the dog.

She didn't know whether drivers these days would allow dogs in their cars, so she stretched out her hand to stop a taxi. When the taxi drivers saw that she was holding a dog, they all shook their heads.

Shen Xingyan looked at Gu Qiuqiu helplessly. Gu Qiuqiu groaned twice and sat on the ground.

Shen Xingyan gritted her teeth and took out a hundred-dollar bill from her pocket, "I'll ask your dad for reimbursement later." She waved the bill, and the blue bill sparkled in the wind.

As the saying goes, a person with a lot of money must be a hero. A driver stopped in front of her, rolled down the window, looked at Gu Qiuqiu first, and then asked, "Girl, where are you going?"

"Orange Garden, Shenhai Road."

"Is the dog yours?"

"Well, can we go?"

The driver looked at Gu Qiuqiu again, "It won't pee, will it?"

"No, it's very obedient." In order to make the driver believe that Gu Qiuqiu was an obedient dog, she pulled the leash, and Gu Qiuqiu stood up and rubbed against her legs.

Driver: “Okay, get in the car.”

"Okay, thank you, Master." Shen Xingyan opened the car door, carried Gu Qiuqiu in first, then got in herself, and explained to the driver, "I'm going back to my mom's house for the New Year. I'm afraid it's not safe for him to be home alone. Don't worry, I won't dirty your car. I gave him a bath last night."

The driver sighed. “You girls can’t even take care of yourselves, and you want to keep a dog.”

"Be a companion."

"No boyfriend?"

"No, I just started working and don't have time to talk."

So the driver followed up the conversation and asked, "What kind of job do you do?"

Shen Xingyan glanced at the back of his head and smiled, "My job is very unpopular."

The driver was intrigued by her words. "How unpopular? Tell me, I've picked up many unpopular customers, the most unpopular of which is the undertaker of coffins."

"I'm pretty much the same."

"For coffining?" the driver was surprised.

"Uh...forensic doctor."

"What the hell?" The driver didn't know whether he didn't hear clearly or didn't understand.

"I said I was a medical examiner."

Boom——! With a sudden brake, Shen Xingyan hit the back of the front seat hard, and Gu Qiuqiu also screamed and jumped off the seat.

The driver wiped the sweat from his forehead, started the car again, looked at the young girl in the rearview mirror, and cursed inwardly, "Fuck!"

“I really can’t tell.”

Shen Xingyan smiled, "I understand. Most people have the same reaction as you when they hear the term forensic doctor."

The driver smiled awkwardly and stopped talking to her. He just looked at her through the rearview mirror. It was unclear whether he regretted hiring someone for money or regretted asking about her occupation.

When they arrived at Orange Garden, Shen Xingyan handed the driver a hundred yuan, but the driver waved his hand and said, "It's too much." He gave her the receipt, which was less than one-third of the price, but Shen Xingyan still stuffed it into his hand and got off the car.

She walked to Shen Lan's house according to her memory. She rang the doorbell and an aunt ran out. She was in her forties, with short hair and wearing an apron. She wiped her hands with the apron while running, with a smile on her face, "Yanyan is here."

Shen Xingyan nodded, "Aunt Shen." Shen Lin is Shen Lan's distant cousin and works as a nanny for Shen Lan. Chen Lan can't cook and doesn't like doing housework. After she makes money, she wants to hire a nanny. Just then, Chen Lin comes to her and asks her to introduce her to a job. I have two children in school and I can’t afford it.

In fact, Shen Lan didn't like this cousin very much. She thought she was nagging and that she always talked about her husband and children and had no self.

Shen Lin was very nice to Shen Lan. Not only did she keep the house tidy, she also researched new dishes for her to eat. In order to satisfy his appetite, Chen Lan endured Chen Lin's nagging.

Shen Lin was about to take Shen Xingyan's bag, but suddenly saw Gu Qiuqiu and was startled, "Hey, why did you bring a dog back? Your mother doesn't like dogs."

"She will like this dog. Where's my mother?" Shen Xingyan led Gu Qiuqiu inside without giving Shen Lin a bag.

All the roses in the yard had been pruned and their stems wrapped. The roses in the glass house are in full bloom, with bright red mixed with pink or white.

"It's the end of the year, the store is busy, your mom goes out early and comes back late."

"That's good, let's make more money." Shen Xingyan put on slippers, went into the house, wiped Gu Qiuqiu's four paws clean, and untied the rope.

Gu Qiuqiu had just arrived in an unfamiliar environment and was very alert. He never left Shen Xingyan's side. Wherever she went, he followed her like a guard.

Shen Xingyan's heart moved, and he touched its head, "Qiuqiu, this is my mother's house, there is no danger."

Gu Qiuqiu hummed twice, rubbed against her body, and began to walk around the room, seeming to be familiar with the environment.

Shen Lin smacked her lips, “This dog is quite intelligent.”

"Well, it should be a police dog." She also realized it suddenly.

Shen Lin made dumplings, boiled chicken and garlic-fried baby potatoes. She told Shen Xingyan that she had made a lot of dumplings and froze them in the refrigerator, which would be enough for them and her daughter to eat during the New Year holidays, so she was going back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year. Today is New Year's Eve. If I don't go back now, I will miss the first day of the new year.

Shen Xingyan understood very well that everyone wanted to reunite with their family during the Chinese New Year. "You can go back. We are not children and can take care of ourselves."

Shen Lin was a little surprised, "Yanyan, you have grown up."

Shen Xingyan smiled bitterly. Everyone said she had grown up, so what else could she do if she didn't grow up?

After lunch, Shen Lin left. Shen Xingyan was bored at home alone, so he took Gu Qiuqiu for a walk nearby.

The rooms in Orange Garden are all small villas, with two floors, a basement and a small garden. Those who live here are all quite wealthy. Only now did she realize that Shen Lan was indeed rich. No wonder she bought her a house without blinking an eye. In her eyes, tens of thousands of dollars were not money at all.

Shen Xingyan suddenly became curious about what her store looked like, so she found a phone and sent a message to Shen Lan's pager, asking for the store address. As a result, Shen Lan didn't reply at all.

Shen Xingyan sighed, "Qiuqiu, no one cares about us, let's celebrate the New Year together."

Gu Qiuqiu barked twice, suddenly broke free from her restraints, ran forward, turned a corner and disappeared.

Shen Xingyan was shocked, "Gu Qiuqiu!" He hurriedly chased after him, rushed around the corner, and saw Gu Qiuqiu excitedly circling around a dog.

The dog was snow-white all over, with its tail standing upright like a broom. It has very long hair, black eyes like grapes, and a silly smile. It turns out to be a Samoyed.

Gu Qiuqiu jumped around the Samoyed and even tried to sniff it. Shen Xingyan couldn't bear to look at his worthless appearance.

She ran forward and grabbed the dog leash, "Gu Qiuqiu, be reserved."

Gu Qiuqiu has been single for too long, and she finds it difficult to control herself when she sees her beloved, so she doesn't care about Shen Xingyan at all.

Shen Xingyan said to the Samoyed, "Where are your family members? They didn't get lost, did they?"

The Samoyed called out a few times behind him, and a man walked over leisurely. He was wearing a gray sports suit, a black down jacket, and a brown cap. “Ya Ya.”

The Samoyed ran toward him and stood beside him, wagging its tail.

The man squatted down and touched the Samoyed's head. "Don't be afraid, it just likes you."

Gu Qiuqiu looked at it eagerly. She really wanted to go over, but she was concerned about the man.

Shen Xingyan: "I'm sorry, your dog is too pretty, mine is attracted to you."

The man chuckled, "It's okay, your dog is very obedient and won't come over."

Shen Xingyan smiled. Gu Qiuqiu had received training, so even if she wanted to go, she would not go.

"What's its name?"

“…Ball.”

The man stroked Yaya's chin and said, "Go and play with Qiuqiu for a while." After receiving the order, Yaya ran towards Qiuqiu.

Gu Qiuqiu suddenly took a few steps back, wagging its tail, obviously wanting to go.

Shen Xingyan touched its head and said, "Go ahead, it's okay."

Gu Qiuqiu ran to Yaya happily, jumped around her and made intimate gestures towards her.

Shen Xingyan's face was a little hot. Gu Fang, your dog has been single for too long, and he wants to fall in love.

The man had a smile on his face the whole time. "Did you just move in? I haven't seen you before."

Shen Xingyan:?

The man continued, "Don't get me wrong, I walk my dog ​​every day, and I know almost everyone who lives in the community."

Shen Xingyan suddenly understood, "I came to my mother's house to celebrate the Spring Festival."

"Your mother's house? That's a weird thing to say."

"We live separately and don't disturb each other."

"That's fine. My name is Gao Yin. I walk the dog at this time every day. If Qiuqiu wants to play with Yaya, you can come."

Shen Xingyan nodded and introduced himself, thinking that this was a good idea, maybe Gu Qiuqiu would not be so depressed anymore.

…

It was past four in the afternoon when Shen Lan came back. She was wearing a knee-length black down jacket, high heels, and heavy makeup. She had a small purse hanging on her elbow and a mobile phone in her other hand.

The TV was on and a commercial was playing. A big yellow dog was curled up on the sofa. When it saw her, it barked twice. Shen Lan was startled and raised her voice to shout, "Shen Xingyan, who allowed you to bring the dog home!"

Shen Xingyan was using the toilet. He was startled by her shout and almost fell off the toilet. He came out with his pants held up.

Shen Lan was staring at Gu Qiuqiu with her eyes wide open. Shen Xingyan held her forehead with her hand. She was really changing her mind all the time. "It's Gu Fang's dog. Don't you like it very much?"

Shen Lan walked around him, holding her slippers, and said, "Do you know that dogs shed hair? My sofa, clothes, table, flowers and even quilt were all covered with hair."

"But he is Gu Fang's dog."

"I know, Gu Fang is your boss, and he's handsome. Even though I praised his dog for being pretty and showed my love for dogs, it doesn't mean I really like dogs. It's just like when a customer comes to my house to buy something, I have to praise her so that she'll be willing to buy. If I tell the truth, how much can I sell?"

"You're using this theory of a profiteer! How about this? I'll kick the dog out and tell Gu Fang that my mom won't let him live here."

"No! Forget it, let him stay. He is Gu Fang's dog after all. Girl, let me tell you, I have sacrificed so much for your mother, you better show some courage and take down Gu Fang!"

"What?!" Shen Xingyan's eyes widened, her head buzzing, "Mom, you are confused about selling goods."

"I'm not confused. Gu Fang has such good conditions. He's handsome, tall, has a car and a house, and is also the captain of a detachment. He has a bright future. Such good conditions are hard to find even with a lantern. If you don't take this opportunity, where will you find such good conditions in the future?"

Shen Xingyan was speechless, "We are just colleagues."

"Don't tell me this. Your father and I were colleagues back then."

Shen Xingyan looked at her without blinking. Shen Lan snorted coldly, "I must be blind to like your father! I'm going to take off my makeup."

Chen Lan removed her makeup and changed into home clothes. She no longer had the sharpness of working outside, and looked much softer.

Shen Xingyan was cooking in the kitchen. Shen Lan had prepared the dishes before she left, so they just needed to be stir-fried. She made shredded pork with hot peppers, stir-fried vegetables, and cooked two plates of dumplings.

Shen Lan sat on the sofa with her legs crossed on the coffee table, petting the dog while watching TV.

There were sounds of firecrackers outside the window, one after another, and happy music was playing on TV. Even though there were only the two of them, they could feel the excitement. Shen Xingyan smiled slightly and brought the dishes to the table.

He called Shen Lan to eat, but after calling her a few times and hearing no response, Shen Xingyan walked over and saw her sleeping on the sofa. He went into the house, got a blanket and covered her with it, then picked some vegetables and put them in the pot to heat them up.

Shen Lan muttered, "I'll take a nap for a while, the Spring Festival Gala is starting, call me."

"An hour left."

Shen Xingyan and Gu Qiuqiu were eating dinner with their dog. Shen Lan was sleeping on the sofa. Music was playing in the room. There was a pot of purple orchid on the TV cabinet. The lights were warm and everything was so peaceful. Shen Xingyan wondered what her parents were doing. She was too far away from them, not only in time, but also in space and time.

After all, Chen Lan did not get up to eat, nor did she watch the Spring Festival Gala. Shen Xingyan and Gu Qiuqiu stayed up together to see the New Year off.

On the first day of the new year, Shen Xingyan was still sleeping. She felt her face was wet, so she touched it and felt warm. Open your eyes and meet Gu Qiuqiu's eyes.

Gu Qiuqiu picked up the dog leash, put it on her bed, and rubbed her hand with her head.

Shen Xingyan rubbed his dog's head, "Qiuqiu, did I tell you yesterday that you should be more reserved?"

Gu Qiuqiu grabbed the sleeve of her pajamas and pulled it outwards. Shen Xingyan's mouth twitched. What sin had she committed that she had to bring a dog with her to date.
