Chapter 3 Heartbeat "What are you afraid of? I didn't think of this when I left..."
Doberman Pinscher ranks fifth in dog IQ. It has high intelligence, strong obedience, high vigilance and quick response, making it one of the best guard dogs.
Over the years, Leo was raised by Lu Wangshan and listened to him very much.
So at this moment, he finally got off Yun Tan obediently and walked towards Lu Wangshan.
The wealthy ladies around were amazed: "This dog is so smart! It really only listens to Wangshan!"
As a result, Leo walked so slowly that he stopped before he had even walked halfway. He continued to hum and tiptoe, acting like a spoiled child as if no one was around.
The rich lady's eyes were filled with curiosity: "Hey, what does this mean?"
"They really look like humans! They're not scary anymore."
"What are you talking about?"
Others didn’t understand what Leo meant, but Lu Wangshan and Yun Tan also understood.
"I want to play with Mommy! Let me play a little longer!"
Lu Wangshan was wearing an overly neat black suit, which reflected the bonfire behind him, making him look even more sinister.
"No, Leo." Lu Wangshan gave the order.
But who knew Leo would suddenly bark at Lu Wangshan: "Let's play!"
It was a loud dog, and its sudden shouting scared the rich ladies so much that they patted their chests.
Xiang Yin was also shocked this time. She had never seen Leo be mean to Lu Wangshan before.
Lu Wangshan frowned and spoke in a warning tone. After another "Leo", the loud dog finally stopped talking, its tail drooped, and its tall ears became listless.
It moved step by step to Lu Wangshan's side, and after receiving the command to "return to the nest", it walked back dejectedly.
Even if you look back every three steps.
The puppy doesn't know what abandonment means.
The puppy only knew that his mother had gone on a long journey.
The puppy misses his mother so much.
But Daddy won't let the puppy play with Mommy.
Hello, mom.
Dad is bad.
-
Everyone saluted Leo as if they were watching a circus performance of the highest standard, and watched him disappear around the corner of the pavilion.
Xiang Yin was the first to react and quickly ran towards Yun Tan: "Are you okay, Xiao Tan?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Oh, there's a tear in this dress."
It was just a rip on the hem of her skirt, nothing serious. Yun Tan wanted to say it was okay, but Xiang Yin was one step faster: "Quick, Aunt An, take Xiao Tan to change clothes."
Under the spotlight of the crowd, Yun Tan didn't want to continue arguing about this topic and just wanted to escape from the center of attention as soon as possible.
When passing by Lu Wangshan, Yun Tan smelled a woody scent on him that was clear and slightly bitter.
Smell always brings people back to memories more easily than eyes.
Yun Tan followed Aunt An up to the second floor and turned into a room in the opposite direction of Lu Wangshan's previous room. He pushed the double doors inward and slowly opened them, revealing a large dressing room.
Among them are the latest, most classic and hard-to-buy clothes from major brands, with bright colors and different styles, including charming skirts, well-cut cashmere coats and various neat sportswear.
In particular, there is a 20-meter-long open wardrobe filled with all kinds of dresses, rich red, bright yellow, and dazzling green, with no taboos.
This is definitely not Lu Wangshan’s mother’s dressing room.
Her dressing style is obviously much more low-key and mature.
Yun Tan didn't know why, but the beautiful woman who got out of Lu Wangshan's car outside the hospital that day suddenly appeared in his mind.
Lu Wangshan has no older sisters, and he can't think of any other possibility except his girlfriend Yun Tan who could own such a large dressing room in his territory.
"Miss Yun, you can pick anything here." Aunt An's voice was very gentle, and she left first after she finished speaking.
Yuntan didn't want to wear a dress anymore. More importantly, those dresses were too grand and gorgeous, which was also very different from her style. Finally, she picked out a misty blue silk long dress with a long collar.
The silk is shimmering, and the loose neckline has the perfect shape. This is already the most inconspicuous piece in this wardrobe.
The owner of this cloakroom must be a very fashionable and beautiful young lady.
Yun Tan thought.
She pushed open the door and found Aunt An was gone. When she went down the stairs, she suddenly noticed that her leather shoes were stained with dirt from the flower bed.
Don't get this dress dirty.
Yuntan took out a tissue from his bag, sat on the sofa and bent over to wipe off the stain.
Suddenly, the familiar smell lingered around my nose again.
The streetlight in front of the yard cast a long and narrow figure at her toes.
Yuntan looked up.
In an instant, he ran into Lu Wangshan's eyes, which were like an icy pond, and there was a raging fire in his eyes.
This was the second time they looked at each other since their reunion.
The man was tall and slender, and just standing there was enough to create a sense of oppression.
A busy day at work had left his shirt a little wrinkled, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and he was clutching his suit in his hands, with bulging veins running down the back of his hands to his forearms.
The two of them were silent for a while, and Yun Tan moved his lips.
The man walked forward in silence.
The living room was brightly lit and silent. When Lu Wangshan half-knelt in front of the sofa in front of her, Yun Tan could only hear her own heartbeat.
She opened her lips, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't know how to start.
Then Lu Wangshan reached out and grabbed Yun Tan's ankle.
The scorching heat perfectly wraps around the coolness.
Lu Wangshan’s hands were very big, and Yun Tan first realized this when they were in bed.
Lu Wangshan, who was 22 years old at the time, was young and energetic, and sometimes he acted without thinking. Yun Tan was too delicate and tender, and would bite when hurt, which made Lu Wangshan feel itchy all over his body. So he pinched Yun Tan's two slender wrists with one hand and pressed them to the top of his head, so that Yun Tan could not struggle free no matter what.
Yun Tan was lost in thought, and the ankle he was holding in his palm trembled slightly. It was white and fragile, shivering slightly like a lamb.
"What are you afraid of?" The man didn't even look up as he continued to wipe the stains off his shoes. His voice was steady and unmoved. "Didn't you think of this day when you left?"
Yun Tan gritted his teeth: "I'm not afraid."
She struggled, unwilling to continue sitting on the sofa, her whole body feeling like it was on fire.
Lu Wangshan paused for a moment, then chuckled for no apparent reason.
The smile was light and vague, and I couldn't tell whether it was laughing at their past absurdity or mocking itself.
No one knows how they hugged each other passionately after the Yuntan college entrance examination, making the sofa wet over and over again.
Later that winter, Lu Wangshan brought Leo back.
Leo was still very young at that time. In order to protect the underage puppy's mind, Yun Tan and Lu Wangshan both went back to their rooms.
Until one winter, on a snowy night, Lu Wangshan came back from a business trip after half a month, and both of them couldn't help but feel a little eager.
The heater and the fireplace were on, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, red plum blossoms and white snow were intertwined. Lu Wangshan pulled a velvet blanket to wrap the naked Yuntan and held her on the sofa.
Leo especially likes snow. He was playing in the snow outside when he suddenly picked up a frozen bird from the grass and wanted to show it off to his parents.
As soon as I ran in, I saw mom and dad hugging each other.
This was common, and Leo was used to it.
But then, Leo saw his mother frowning and sobbing, pushing his father's chest and saying no.
Leo is a smart dog who can understand two languages.
"No" is the "NO" in dad's instructions.
But obviously Dad didn't listen to Mom's instructions.
Because my mother started to cry, she seemed to be in even worse pain.
Brave Leo, seeing injustice, roars: "Woof!"
"Stop it! Don't bully Mom!"
This was the first time in Leo's life that he barked at Lu Wangshan.
Yun Tan was startled by the sound, but Lu Wangshan smiled and whispered in her ear, "Don't cry, Leo thinks I'm bullying you."
Yun Tan was about to cry, her skin turning an even brighter crimson. "Hurry up and get him out."
Lu Wangshan wrapped Yun Tan tightly in a blanket and gave instructions to Leo.
But Leo wouldn't listen. He dropped down on his front legs and barked even louder: "Woof woof woof woof!"
"Leo, don't leave! Leo, protect Mom! Let Mom go!"
Lu Wangshan chuckled and cursed hoarsely, "Little beast!" Then he pinched Yun Tan's face, making her look at Leo with her eyes flushed and messy. "Baby, it seems you need to tell Leo yourself that you feel very comfortable now."
…
Lu Wangshan wiped the stains off her shoes and stood up.
Yuntan came back to his senses from the brief recollection just now.
Her face suddenly felt hot, she lowered her head and saw the skirt she was wearing: "This is your girlfriend's dress, I cleaned it and asked someone to send it to you."
Lu Wangshan paused for a moment, then said calmly, "No, my girlfriend won't wear clothes that have been worn by others."
Yuntan was silent.
It's time for her to go.
But she still missed Leo. Thinking back to its pitiful look as it kept looking back, she wanted to say goodbye to it again.
"Can I go see Leo again?"
"I won't let him see you again." Lu Wangshan's words were too decisive.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Yin pushed the door open and saw the new dress on Yun Tan: "Wu Wu's dress fits well on Xiao Tan, it looks good."
Fog.
Is this the owner of this skirt?
It seems that Lu Wangshan’s girlfriend has already met his parents.
"Sorry to bother you today, Aunt Xiang."
Even though Lu Wangshan said his girlfriend would never wear the skirt again, Yun Tan had no right to claim it as her own. She repeated to Xiang Yin, "I'll return the skirt after cleaning it another day."
"It's okay, don't worry." Xiang Yin said, "You must have been scared today. I'm really sorry. Leo has never been like this before. I don't know what happened today."
"It's fine."
Yuntan said goodbye to Xiang Yin again and left Lu's house with Yuan Qinrong.
-
Nine o'clock at night.
Lu Wangshan went downstairs after washing up. He changed into home clothes and washed his hair, which was half wet. He combed back all the loose hair on his forehead, but his technique was a bit rough, so the hair stood up in all directions on his head, making him look even more unruly.
Leo was also in the house at the moment. Xiang Yin tried to play ball with him, but Leo was not interested in her as usual.
Xiang Yin was even more confused about what happened today: "Wangshan, did Leo know Xiao Tan before?"
"have no idea."
"It's impossible that you don't know it? You are the best at understanding its meaning. What did it mean when it barked at you just now?"
“I can’t understand.”
Lu Wangshan knew what she wanted to know, but he was too lazy to say it.
It's all in the past.
Xiang Yin is a professor of history at National Tsing Hua University. Of course, he could tell that his son was refusing to communicate, so he didn't continue the topic.
She sighed and pounded her shoulders. "I'm so exhausted after this day. Even more exhausted than when I was revising my undergraduate thesis."
Lu Wangshan was preparing a fresh dinner for Leo in the kitchen. Today's main dishes were beef, salmon, rabbit meat and shrimp, and the vegetables were carrots, cabbage and pumpkin, accompanied by an egg yolk and half an apple.
Hearing this, he said, "Then why did you specially invite so many people?"
"Do you understand the ways of the world?"
Although Xiang Yin disliked these occasions, as Lu Chengjun's wife, she naturally had to attend parties and banquets. Most of the time, she refused on the grounds that she had classes at school, but after accepting so many invitations, of course she had to ask for them back according to etiquette.
Xiang Yin also walked into the kitchen and saw his son lowering his head and carefully putting fish oil, calcium tablets and some trace elements into the dog food bowl.
"Why is there only egg yolk? Egg white is a good protein, it's good to eat it."
"Leo doesn't like protein," Lu Wangshan said. "With shrimp and fish, he won't be lacking in protein."
“Oh, so you threw away the egg whites?”
"I ate it."
“…”
Whenever he saw this scene, Xiang Yin couldn't help but sigh that if his son had children in the future, he would definitely be a good father.
Unfortunately, Lu Wangshan had no interest in this at all. He didn't even have a girlfriend, let alone children.
Xiang Yin was very tired after the day and had classes tomorrow, so he decided to move back to his apartment near the school.
The driver was already waiting outside, so he stood up: "Bye son, bye Leo."
-
Leo was acting very abnormally today. Usually, when Lu Wangshan cooked for him, he would wait eagerly by the side, but today he was running up and down the stairs, sniffing the ground with his nose close to his face, as if he was determined to find something.
"Leo, eat." Lu Wangshan called it.
Leo poked his head out from between the white marble columns of the second-floor staircase: "Woof!"
It smelled its mother's scent, but couldn't find her and was very anxious.
Lu Wangshan looked up at it from the first floor for a while before speaking calmly, "She's not here. She's gone. Come down."
Leo didn't know if he understood or how much he understood.
But it still came down, walked to the food bowl and sniffed it, but refused to eat a single bite.
It sat down and looked at Lu Wangshan quietly.
Even though it was a very understanding puppy, it could not understand the true meaning of its parents' breakup, and it could not understand why its mother had to leave again after finally coming back.
Lu Wangshan squatted down and gently stroked its head.
The living room was brightly lit, and servants were cleaning the yard. Lu Wangshan spoke in a low voice:
"Don't think about her anymore. She won't come back."
Leo whimpered, lay down, buried his head between his two front legs, and looked at Lu Wangshan with grievance.
After a long time, the yard was cleaned after the banquet, and Lu Wangshan sighed lightly.
"Let's all stop thinking about her, okay?"
