Chapter 309 I Only Treat You as My Sister (27)
Lian Shangrui got up and went to the dog house in the backyard, just in time to see the grown-up dog lying on the grass basking in the sun.
"Nian Gao, come here." Lian Shangrui waved at the dog, and the dog immediately jumped up, stuck out its tongue, ran over happily, wagging its tail and rubbing its big head against Lian Shangrui's hand.
Nian Gao is the name given to it by Lin Shichu, because it is so clingy. When it was young, it had white fur, was soft and sticky, cute and adorable, so it deserves the name "Nian Gao".
Lian Shangrui squatted down and imitated what Lin Shichu did before, and stroked Nian Gao's fur with his hands, from his big head to the tip of his tail. His technique was not very good, and the stroke was not smooth, but Nian Gao was a good and thoughtful dog. Even though he was uncomfortable being stroked by his owner, he did not avoid it. He still sat down, wagging his tail, raised his head, looked at him with his big wet eyes, and let him stroke his fur with a trusting face.
"Young master, Nian Gao is about to shed its fur soon. You might as well comb its hair to prevent it from shedding all over the house." Seeing that Lian Shangrui was actually interested in playing with Nian Gao, the old housekeeper suggested and actually found him a comb.
Lian Shangrui took the big comb in silence and combed Nian Gao's hair clumsily. Nian Gao lay on his legs, wagging his tail and humming with enjoyment.
The old housekeeper watched Lian Shangrui combing the dog's hair solemnly with a serious expression, as if he was doing something important. Then he smiled and looked pleased.
His young master used to have no interest in anything other than painting and reading, but now he takes the initiative to learn to comb the dog's hair and is willing to do this thing which seemed meaningless to him before. The old housekeeper is delighted to see this change. The young master finally has more life and vitality, and is not as lifeless as before. How can this not make people happy?
He knew that the reason for the change in the young master was the girl who loved dogs so much. Maybe the young master had not yet realized what this meant, but he had unconsciously begun to learn to cultivate the same interests and hobbies as her.
Youth is so beautiful! The old housekeeper sighed in his heart, then walked away with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
Lian Shangrui combed Nian Gao's hair for a long time. The one pound of hair combed out could be rolled into a small ball as big as a baby's fist. Lian Shangrui paused as he looked at the ball of hair, remembering that Qian Qingqing loved to post crazily on WeChat Moments, and Lin Shichu would like or comment every time.
So Lian Shangrui took several photos of Nian Gao lying lazily on his lap waiting to be combed, as well as the ball of hair that had fallen off.
When Nian Gao saw that his owner stopped combing his hair, he raised his head and looked at him in confusion. Lian Shangrui took the opportunity to take a picture of this scene. When he looked at it again, he found that this photo was taken exceptionally well, so he was very satisfied and posted it on his Moments for the first time.
"Comb the rice cakes." Attached with four photos of rice cakes.
Lian Shangrui read his post again and again and felt that the words were too bland, but he didn't know how to change it. After thinking about it, he finally didn't change it and sent it out directly.
After sending the message, he put down his phone and continued to comb Nian Gao's hair, but this time he was a little absent-minded. While combing, he kept looking at the phone beside him. In the end, he was not paying attention and accidentally combed Nian Gao's hair against the direction of its hair. Nian Gao's hair was pulled and it hurt, so he couldn't help but raise his front paws to remind Lian Shangrui.
Lian Shangrui then realized his mistake, a thin blush appeared on his handsome face, he touched the hair on Nian Gao's body that he had combed backwards, and said, "Sorry, I was distracted."
After saying that, he continued to comb Nian Gao's hair obediently, and Nian Gao generously forgave him.
Half an hour later, Lian Shangrui finally combed Nian Gao's entire body, ending this hard battle.
Rubbing his sore wrist, Lian Shangrui threw the comb aside, picked up his mobile phone, and opened his circle of friends impatiently. Sure enough, he saw the red dot prompt.
It was as if a sweet stream was flowing through his heart, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
He immediately saw Lin Shichu’s reply under his only circle of friends: Nian Gao has lost so much hair again, and it has grown a circle bigger. I miss it so much.
Lian Shangrui pursed his thin lips and replied to her: You can come and see it.
Lin Shichu probably didn't check his Moments at the time, so his reply didn't get a response. Lian Shangrui felt a little disappointed and had to look at other replies.
Qian Qingqing: Haha, if the hair on Nian Gao falls off any more, he will become a bald dog, right?
Old Butler: Thank you for your hard work, young master!
There were also some people he knew through art who liked the post and said something.
But he didn't care about any of them and only cared about Lin Shichu's message. Unfortunately, to his disappointment, Lin Shichu still didn't reply to his message until the evening.
Lin Shichu had no idea what Lian Shangrui was thinking. Her major was not easy and she had a lot of homework. She needed to prepare well, otherwise she might not be able to keep up with the professor's lectures. Although Lin Shichu felt that she was smart enough, she would not be arrogant and think that she did not need to study hard.
She didn't know what kind of world she would travel to in the future, but if she could learn one more piece of knowledge, she would have one more means of survival in other worlds, so she was very serious and didn't do it perfunctorily.
Time passed quickly, and another week passed. Just when Lin Shichu was so absorbed in her studies that she almost forgot about the appointment Lian Shangrui had made with her, Lian Shangrui came to her school to find her by himself.
"Lin Shichu! There's a very handsome boy outside looking for you!" A classmate ran in and winked at Lin Shichu.
Lin Shichu frowned immediately, thinking that it was another one of those boys with excess energy who wanted to pursue her.
She went out impatiently, but as soon as she went out, she saw the tall and graceful Lian Shangrui. He still looked the same, but after only not seeing him for two months, Lin Shichu suddenly felt that he seemed to have grown up a lot and become mature.
The contours of his face became more angular like those of an adult man, his figure was no longer as thin as before, and his shoulders became stronger, allowing his temperament to finally move from a teenager to a young adult.
"Lian Shangrui!" Lin Shichu shouted in surprise, and her originally impatient expression suddenly turned into joy. Lian Shangrui also curled his lips slightly when he heard her shout.
However, before Lin Shichu could rush to him, a dog rushed out and pounced on Lin Shichu.
"Nian Gao!" Lin Shichu recognized at a glance that the big white dog was the Nian Gao she had been thinking about all the time, and she immediately caught the dog that pounced towards her with great joy.
The man and the dog hugged each other and were very happy. However, Lian Shangrui, who was forgotten aside, looked pale and regretted bringing the rice cake.
