Chapter 25. Please grant approval, Chief of the Agricultural Bureau.
angry?
Yan Yuehe hadn't heard this word in a long time.
Perhaps because she rarely interacted with others, she rarely had negative emotions, and even if she did have some, they would quickly dissipate before others noticed.
Yan Yuehe can certainly process all her negative emotions on her own, but what happens after she finishes processing them?
It's probably because every time she sees Atlas, she's reminded of those puppies, and this incident feels like a thorn in her heart, as well as in her relationship with Gou Qing, causing her pain from time to time.
"I'm not angry," Yan Yuehe denied.
Indeed, she felt more aggrieved and sad than angry.
She buried her face in his chest, wiped her tears on his chest, and took a deep breath.
Yan Yuehe always felt that everyone has their own unique flavor, and Gou Qing's flavor, like his face, had a kind of coldness that kept people at a distance.
It's indescribable, but she really liked it.
Gou Qing pulled her out of his arms, somewhat helplessly: "Did you treat me like a dog again?"
"No." Yan Yuehe was concerned about the puppies, so she asked directly, "Are you really abandoning them because Atlas had no other choice?"
It's hard to lie to your lover when you look them in the eye.
“That’s only one aspect,” Gou Qing admitted. “I’ve been taking my anger out on them a bit.”
If they didn't exist, there would be no need to make choices, and if there were no need to make choices, Yan Yuehe wouldn't have gotten hurt.
Yan Yuehe knew.
However, it wasn't too late; the two of them didn't wait until after they had sent all the puppies away to discuss the matter.
Finally, they left it to fate: to roll the dice.
The numbers 1 and 6 represent yellow, 2 and 5 represent black and white, and 3 and 4 represent all in.
The two people's phones were placed side by side on the coffee table.
They wanted to use Gou Qing's phone to send Yan Yuehe a "dice-rolling" emoji.
Just as Yan Yuehe was about to nervously press her index finger onto that little emoji, Gou Qing grabbed her hand.
She looked up: "What are you doing?"
With that incredibly deceptive face, Gou Qing solemnly uttered nonsense: "I am bestowing upon you the power of love."
It's both oily and rustic.
But it made Yan Yuehe laugh out loud: "Watch less cartoons."
"Okay, I'll quit from now on, but go ahead and smoke."
Yan Yuehe easily pressed the dice emoji.
The prelude was a bit long, but both of them watched with bated breath, eagerly anticipating it.
Yan Yuehe silently counted "one" and "six" in her heart.
Gou Qing hoped the numbers would be "two" or "five".
The dice wobbled and came to a stop in the two people's eyes: "Three".
Yan Yuehe silently hugged Gou Qing's arm and carefully offered her opinion: "I don't think one round is too risky, how about best of three?"
"What if the results are different all three times?" Gou Qing inwardly agreed with her suggestion. "Why not just roll four times?"
“Okay.” Yan Yuehe agreed without much principle. She pulled him towards the middle of the sofa. “This time you roll the dice.”
Gou Qing pressed the button decisively.
Yan Yuehe exclaimed, "How did you press it so fast? I wasn't ready!"
To her surprise, the die landed on a four.
The two exchanged a glance.
"Sorry, my hand was shaking just now," Gou Qing said. "This round doesn't count."
Yan Yuehe nodded: "Let's start over. You have to shout 'challenge' for it to count."
"challenge."
"...to take on the challenge again."
"A fresh start."
"..."
Finally, Yan Yuehe leaned back on the sofa.
"Accept your fate; going all in is destiny."
Gou Qing also felt that no matter how he pressed the button, whether Yan Yuehe sent him a message or he sent a message to Yuehe, it kept going back and forth between three and four.
"Then let's keep it. Do we still need to name it?"
The two of them started laughing again for no apparent reason.
All in was left behind.
I've gone from walking two dogs to walking three.
Yan Yuehe would bring her chubby baby to the door every day without fail, and each time she would start her sentence halfway through: "In-laws, today..."
Gou Qing then dragged the two dogs out: "Let's go."
The two of them had reached a stage where they could understand each other's intentions without needing to say much.
As the weather gets colder, the two of them rarely get up early to walk the dog anymore, and very occasionally they run into the retired army of people who used to help Yan Yuehe "monitor" Gou Qing.
They've been taking some hobby classes at the senior university recently, and Yan Yuehe, who has a particularly good appearance, was chosen as a model to complete her photography assignment.
Gou Qing looked rather serious, and since the grandparents weren't familiar with him, they didn't dare ask him to take a picture with them.
Yan Yuehe was terrified of being the center of attention in a crowd. When her grandparents surrounded her taking pictures, she felt her limbs were stiff.
"Fat Baby's mom turned around and smiled at me."
"Put your hands on my shoulders, Fatty's Mom."
"Laugh, laugh, laugh."
...
Before Yan Yuehe could run away with the "prop" Fatty, Gou Qing stepped forward and asked, "Could you take a few photos of me and All In?"
The enthusiastic grandparents naturally wouldn't refuse.
Allin is still very small and easily overlooked when standing next to Atlas, but it's just the right size when held in Gou Qing's arms.
This unexpected situation made the grandparents burst out laughing, and someone even captured the highlight moment of the all-in-air peeing.
Yan Yuehe's lips also curved into a smile. She wasn't smiling because of the all-in, but because she found Gou Qing's rare dazed look extremely cute.
The second model went on strike.
"You're making fun of me." Gou Qing, having finished dealing with All In, walked over with a rare look of grievance, gently poking Yan Yuehe's arm to confirm, "Were you laughing really loud?"
Yan Yuehe felt wronged: "How could I make fun of you? I just thought you were so cute, so cute that I wanted to take a big kiss."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Yan Yuehe regretted them.
What made her even more flustered was that the color of Gou Qing's ear tips was gradually darkening. He stared into her eyes for a few seconds, then leaned closer and lowered his voice: "You can kiss me."
Can we kiss?
What are you kissing?
Shall we kiss?
The countless question marks and the word "dear" completely confused Yan Yuehe.
The two young lovers, who were even more innocent than students, had been together for several months, and their most intimate gestures were nothing more than holding hands and hugging.
Apart from that, there has been no further progress in the relationship.
In the moment when her brain was about to run out of oxygen, Yan Yuehe desperately wanted to run away like a coward, but running away was not an option.
A group of grandparents were surrounding them, waiting for them to come over and choose photos. And even if she really ran, Yan Yuehe couldn't outrun Gou Qing.
Yan Yuehe pushed him away and immediately turned the tables on him: "Don't say such nonsense in broad daylight."
After saying that, she didn't dare to look at his expression and squeezed next to an old lady: "That photo you just took was really good, Grandma, remember to send it to me when you get back."
"Okay, then we'll definitely send it to the model."
Gou Qing led three dogs that were undoubtedly a family of dogs, her eyes fixed on Yan Yuehe, who was forced to start socializing due to excessive shyness.
Gou Qing withdrew her gaze and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her lips.
It should have been a good opportunity, but when he got close, Yan Yuehe was scared away.
For no apparent reason, Gou Qing began to question himself: Was it because his lips were too ugly?
Yan Yuehe glanced up during a social gathering and saw Gou Qing touching his lips. She subconsciously followed his action and touched her lips as well.
...It feels like we're kissing each other from a distance.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Yan Yuehe quickly put her hand down and continued to be a ruthless praise machine.
The grandparents were about to leave and go home, but the young couple still had half of their dog-walking journey to go.
Watching the loving and oblivious Fatty and Atlas, Yan Yuehe took the all-in leash from Gou Qing, who was caught in the middle and forced to be a third wheel.
The dog was already incredibly cute at first, but Yan Yuehe added a "dog son's biological son" filter, making it even more irresistibly adorable.
“Hey, do you think I should buy a camera to document All In’s growth?” Influenced by the recent retirement of the team, Yan Yuehe had already considered buying professional equipment, even though she hadn’t started learning photography yet.
When Pangbao first came into her life, she hadn't yet developed the habit of keeping records. She regretted not documenting Pangbao's daily life more when she saw Atlas's growth photos on her dog-related friend's WeChat Moments.
Gou Qing advised, "There's no need."
Yan Yuehe looked at him: "So, did you buy it?" She always felt that the quality of the photos on her in-laws' WeChat Moments was better than the photos taken with her phone.
Gou Qing paused for a moment, then said, "...I bought it."
Yan Yuehe immediately took out her phone, calculated the hard-earned money that would arrive in her account next week, and happily announced: "I want to buy one too, to record my growth as an all-in investor."
Seeing that he couldn't stop them, Gou Qing simply joined in: "Commander Nongnong, I'd like to apply to join the camera purchase plan."
"Why buy more when you already have everything? I have money."
"I want to use a new camera to record our daily love life. Please grant me permission, Commander Nongnong."
