As evening approached, a light drizzle began to fall outside the window, but the afterglow of the sunset on the horizon did not dim because of it. On the contrary, it became even more splendid and beautiful, making the raindrops on the leaves look crystal clear, with a touch of yellow light and shadow, which was extremely beautiful.
The entire Xingzhan Garden was gradually enveloped in a curtain of water as cool raindrops pattered against the ground, and the surrounding air gradually became chilly.
The rain under the setting sun in early autumn evening is exceptionally beautiful!
If he were a truly talented poet, he would stroke his beard, shake his head, and compose a poem.
You can even have a pageboy pour tea and brew wine for you, and leisurely enjoy the messy ripples on the lake surface outside the pavilion, created by raindrops, and spend a wonderful and enjoyable evening.
However, the dog's furious barking suddenly echoed throughout Xingzhan Garden, shattering the tranquil and beautiful atmosphere.
Tuanzi is a purebred white German Shepherd, also known as a German Wolfhound.
Although its all-white appearance gives it a touch of cuteness, its large and imposing size usually makes it look majestic in front of other dogs.
Yet, it gets bullied by a cat all day long, turning into a pathetic mad dog, howling incessantly.
Unlike the damp and cool air outside, the library was warm and comfortable at this time.
Yan Jingzhou sat on the sofa, flipping through a book. He glanced up casually and a soft, round figure caught his eye in front of the French windows. The corners of his lips curved slightly, but he looked away and lowered his head to read.
Gong Ning sat cross-legged on a handmade silk rug, carefully and gently tending to a potted plant. Her expression was serious and focused, and she was exceptionally serene.
Just then, I heard Tuanzi's frantic barking, as if its tail had been caught in a door crack, the barking was unusually convoluted.
Gong Ning paused in her movements, tilted her ear to listen carefully, and caught a few slightly annoyed meows, which startled her slightly.
He then chuckled, a hint of mockery in his voice, "Yan Jingzhou, if I remember correctly, you told me that Tuanzi was a military dog before you brought it back to Xingzhan Garden?"
Yan Jingzhou's long, slender, and fair fingers gently pressed down on the book's foot, his dark eyes showing a focused and composed expression. Upon hearing this, he responded softly, "Mm!"
His voice was flat and indifferent, revealing no obvious emotion.
His handsome, well-defined eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his thin lips were pursed.
He glanced at Gong Ning subtly, his deep eyes revealing an unreadable expression.
That heartless bastard, when he's no longer needed, he's even called "Yan Jingzhou".
It sounded particularly unpleasant to the ear...
The barking of the dogs around her grew louder and louder, and Gong Ning's bright eyes were filled with a dazzling smile.
After carefully adjusting the soil in the flowerpot, she stood up and placed the nice-shaped plant on the flower stand not far away. Turning her head, she asked, "But Tuanzi is only three years old. Aren't military dogs usually retired after the age of six?"
Tuanzi's three years old is equivalent to about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old in human years, which is the peak of an adult military dog's energy and mobility. However, Tuanzi was brought back by Yan Jingzhou two years ago when she went blind.
Gong Ning suddenly turned around, staring intently at Yan Jingzhou, "So, Tuanzi retired before he was even a year old?"
The man's fingers, which were pressed against the pages of the book, trembled slightly. "Mmm!"
Gong Ning glanced out the window in confusion. Tuanzi's agile, snow-white figure flashed past, followed by a similarly snow-white Persian cat. She muttered to herself, "That shouldn't be the case! When you adopted Tuanzi, was its caretaker very upset?"
