When she arrived at the apartment door, she just took out the key to open the door, but the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

Shen Zhen wore a black flight jacket on his upper body, dark blue jeans on his lower body, and red, white and blue Nike sneakers on his feet. His figure was particularly slender, especially his long legs, which were thin and straight, making girls envious and jealous.

Shen Zhen had an amusing expression on his face. The chubby girl had told him in advance that she couldn't come today because she had something to do, so he took advantage of the lunch break to come back and take Fak out for a walk. But when he got home, he found that Fak had been taken out by someone.

"Don't you have something to do today?"

Hearing Shen Zhen asking her, Zeng Fang retracted her gaze from the other person's long legs and said, "Come over when you're okay, but I won't come over at night."

Shen Zhen didn't say anything, but just lazily made way.

After Zeng Fang led Fake into the house, he couldn't help but look closely at the chubby girl's back while closing the door.

Although the chubby girl was wearing a loose woolen coat, it was still vaguely visible that she had lost some weight.

Is it because walking the dog every day is too tiring? So he is tired and thin?

Shen Zhen pursed his lips slightly, crossed his arms and watched her untie the leash for the golden retriever, and then helped the golden retriever take the water in the bowl to the kitchen to replace it with clean water.

In fact, he had already changed the water, but when he saw her changing it, he didn't want to remind her.

“Beep beep—”

Hearing the prompt tone, Shen Zhen subconsciously took out the pager from his pocket, but found that his pager was not ringing.

Just as I was wondering, I saw the little fat girl run from the kitchen to the sofa, bend down and take out a silver pager from her backpack.

Shen Zhen curled his lips in a mocking manner and put his pager back into his pocket.

Zeng Fang saw the number on the pager and subconsciously wanted to go to the phone to call back. After taking two steps, she remembered that Shen Zhen was still there, so she turned around and said, "Can I borrow the phone?"

Shen Zhen did not comment.

The call was from Shao Mo, asking how many people she would bring back in the afternoon. It just so happened that Shao Mo had an activity in the baking club in the afternoon, and she planned to make a big birthday cake big enough for everyone to eat in the evening.

After Zeng Fang finished the call, she looked up and saw Shen Zhen squatting on the balcony playing with the golden retriever.

The soft afternoon sunlight shone on the side of his face, outlining a faint golden glow, adding a touch of gentleness and elegance to his already handsome facial features.

After watching quietly for a long while, Zeng Fang came to her senses, picked up her backpack and went over to say hello.

"I'm leaving now. I'll come back tomorrow at noon."

"etc."

Shen Zhen rubbed the golden retriever's head, let it play by itself, stood up and looked down at her.

"Give me your pager number."

"What?"

Seeing her alert look, Shen Zhen curled his lips and asked, "What do you think I can do?"

After a pause, he lazily explained: "In situations like today, you can contact me in advance using the pager in the future, so I don't have to come back for nothing."

After the two parties exchanged pager numbers, Shen Zhen suddenly laughed, "I didn't realize that you are a hidden rich woman who can even afford something as expensive as a pager. In fact, if you don't want to come here to walk the dog anymore, you can pay to pay off the remaining debt."

Walking the dog every day can pay off a 10-dollar debt, but only a fool would pay for it with real money. She is not a wealthy woman like Shao Mo.

"I have no money, and I didn't buy the pager myself."

After hearing her explanation, Shen Zhen's expression inexplicably turned colder, "Oh, so it was given by a fool."

"You are the one who got taken advantage of. This is Momo's birthday present to me!"

Shen Zhen was stunned for a moment, then his expression gradually eased, but his tone was casual, "Is it your birthday today?"

Zeng Fang snorted proudly, "So what? Are you planning to give me a birthday present too?"

Shen Zhen sneered, "It's not impossible."

Zeng Fang was obviously not expecting him to answer like this and was stunned for a moment.

"then."

Zeng Fang subconsciously held it in both hands and took a closer look. It was a White Rabbit milk candy.

Because it was just taken out of the pocket, it still has some body temperature.

"Your birthday present, fat girl."

Before she could react, Shen Zhen strode past her into the living room and patted her on the head with his cold big hand.

Just like taking a picture of a golden retriever! Zeng Fang stared at his tall and thin back, and couldn't help but said angrily: "You are too stingy, a candy is considered a birthday gift, who knows if you picked it up on the side of the road."

Shen Zhen didn't even turn his head. "If you don't want it, you can give it back to Fak. This was the snack I promised to bring to Fak yesterday."

Zeng Fang turned around and saw the golden retriever tilting his head back, staring at her with salivating eyes - the candy in his hand.

"Your brother is really stingy. He took away your snacks and gave them to others as birthday gifts. Only he can do that!"

Finally, Zeng Fang peeled the candy while muttering to herself, broke it into two halves, and she and Golden Retriever each ate half.

"Brother Zhen, tell me what you are planning to buy. We have walked around here three times."

Shen Zhen put his hands in his pockets, looked around and replied nonchalantly, "If I knew, I wouldn't have to wander around here."

Zhou Ye choked, but continued to ask, "There must be a range, right? Is it food, clothing, or something else?"

"Send it to someone."

"Who are you sending it to, an elder or a friend?"

“Neither.”

Zhou Ye was puzzled. "If he is neither an elder nor a friend, then why are you giving him a gift?"

Shen Zhen spent two seconds thinking about the relationship between him and the little fat girl. "It's like the relationship between a creditor and a debtor. Since she has been diligently paying off her debts, I occasionally meet her small requests as a sign of encouragement."

Zhou Ye was completely confused. "Who? Who owes you a debt?"

Shen Zhen glanced at him as if he were an idiot.

Zhou Ye suddenly realized, "Fatty? Is it her birthday?"

Shen Zhen didn't comment, "Okay, I didn't ask you to come here to ask nonsense questions, take a look, is there anything suitable?"

Zhou Ye temporarily put aside his confusion, "Brother Zhen, the trick to giving gifts to girls is very simple, just four words, give her what she likes. If she likes beauty, give her jewelry, clothes and cosmetics, if she likes food, give her imported chocolate..."

"Okay, chocolate, where is it?"

Zhou Ye swallowed the rest of his words and pointed ahead, "It's over there."

In the winter in Beijing, it gets dark early. It’s dark just after 6 o’clock.

The small courtyard was bustling with bright lights. The entire courtyard was filled with star-shaped lights, weaving a lattice-like light net above the head.

Under the light net are two large mahogany round tables. In the center of each round table is a copper pot for shabu-shabu. Around the copper pot are mutton, fatty beef, luncheon meat, various meatballs, as well as the vegetables and mushrooms that are essential for shabu-shabu.

Zuo Xiaotang and his two siblings had not arrived yet, so everyone could only eat fruits and snacks and chat while waiting for them.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"It must be Sister Xiaotang and the others who are here."

Shao Mo got up to open the door, but when she saw the person standing outside, she was slightly surprised.

Second update~ 　　I have had a serious cervical spondylosis recently, accompanied by tinnitus. Today I went to the doctor for a brain CT scan and carotid ultrasound, got some medicine, and spent a thousand yuan, which made my already poor life even worse...

So, you know, if you have monthly tickets, remember to vote, it's the end of the month :) 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
