Long street, evening lights. 『『，

The roar of the engine from the other side of the road passed through the sparse and yellowish sycamore leaves and invaded the riverside path.

Beside me, sat a guy with a headache. She deliberately raised her side face, raised her eyebrows, and hummed twice while asking me if I could eat "Tianli".

I stuck out my tongue and moistened my lips, thinking about it for a while. Then he reached out and pressed it on the guy's forehead again—near the eyebrows.

The wrist was slowly exerted, and the head that was facing me was slowly pushed back into place.

"I said, you better eat your mango ice cream honestly. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I'll go berserk and put your face in this ice cream later. ”

Threatening words squeezed out of his mouth little by little. Zheng Xiujing, who was finished, was pushed by me to face the mango ice cream in her hand again. Then, she rolled her eyes, then snorted a second time in disdain. After showing her fearlessness, she chose to give up and stop making trouble.

Tsunderes really like to put on a domineering look of "don't threaten the old lady", but in my opinion, her snort is like a pig eating high, expressing excitement.

————————

The commotion that lasted for a long time finally turned into a warm factor, lost in dust, and fell to the ground. After that, it was carried away by a sudden gust of wind, and it dissipated completely. But just as piping hot things leave a mark on any object. This five-hour meeting tonight is destined to leave a distinct scar on each other's hearts.

No more bickering afterward. There was an instant silence between the two of us. Zheng Xiujing, who was concentrating on eating ice cream, lost her light with a pair of pupils. Let go and look at the empty space ahead. This is still a unique skill that she has mastered, and that is to let go of the air. While eating heavily, he unexpectedly didn't make a sound.

As she ate her ice cream, she stretched her legs together and spread them outward. A pair of black and white-trimmed casual shoes are swaying from side to side, the toes of the shoes colliding with each other from time to time.

As for me at this moment, I sat on my side and looked at her. Just looking at her, nothing else.

Why. Today's meeting will be a day when memories are like magma and knives. That's because, today, it's the first time the two of us have met.

Let go of all the burdens, let go of all the barriers, let go of all the worries. I don't have any scruples, I don't look at any face again. That's all the summing up of these five hours now, and it's been easier than ever, since ten minutes ago. You can see the two lumps of ice cream on my face.

She has become the one who is as bold as her. I have become the one who unties the knot as recklessly as I do. So, it's a brand new meeting. It can also be summed up as, the first meeting.

The ice cream in my hand is melting. I'm holding it. But I never noticed. On the contrary, Zheng Xiujing, who had been eating ice cream in a mysterious state, accidentally glanced at me. Only then did I find out about the situation. Immediately, she reached out to cover her lips and chuckled.

"Oba. You're not really scared by me, are you? Don't worry, even if you eat ten ice creams in a row, you probably won't be able to by visual inspection. ”

The fun of the bad taste has now been played by this guy perfectly, and since she let go, she seems to be itching all over her body without hitting me for a minute.

Although because of such a sentence, the anger began to show signs of rushing up again. But in order to avoid the recurrence of the confrontation just now, I still plan to hold back after thinking about it. Otherwise, the ice cream you bought for 12,000 (70 yuan) in your hand will really melt without eating a bite.

I didn't care about Zheng Xiujing's violent verbal attacks, I directly ignored her words, and the old god was gnawing on his own ice cream. Zheng Xiujing, who had almost solved her ice cream, saw that I didn't refute it, and didn't say anything more, but quickly turned her eyes to the remaining mangoes, ready to kill them cleanly.

Mangoes imported from Australia are large and plump, with tight juice and bright and attractive colors when cut. The suffocating aroma was locked in the cool ice cream like this, waiting for Zheng Xiujing's final sweep.

Just as we were both concentrating on the ice cream, there were a few crisp dog barks from the grove behind us. At first, Zheng Xiujing and I didn't pay much attention to it, we just thought that after so long, there was finally a pedestrian passing by here, still leading the dog. But after a while, there was no passer-by. On the contrary, there was a little one, with crooked and unsteady steps, from the sycamore forest, to move in front of us.

It was a chocolate-colored teddy, and it should be no more than ** months old, and of course, it could also be a mini VIP. Zheng Xiujing, who was originally eating ice cream with her head buried in her, raised her head, and her eyes were instantly full of light.

The dog, who had paced in front of us, spun around twice, sat down facing us, and wagged his short tail in a very unpleasant manner.

If nothing else, this is supposed to be a stray dog, as it has a lot of dust on its body, and its chocolate-colored fur is almost turning gray. Although the hair is quite neat, it looks like it has been cut before, but in the area near the hind limbs, there is a place where the hair has been removed, and it looks like it has some kind of skin disease. I don't know if I got it before I was abandoned, or if I got it because I had been wandering outside for a long time.

In short, after seeing the dog that appeared suddenly, Zheng Xiujing put aside the empty ice cream box that had been eaten up in her hand. Then, there is a leaning over.

She bent her knees and detached herself from the bench. A pair of hands reached directly for the teddy.

Chocolate with gray hair, after the wind and rain of abandonment, no longer has that fluffy and comfortable feel. But Zheng Xiujing stroked it, but the corners of her mouth still rose.

Teddy, who was stroking his head, seemed very useful. It gently swayed its head with the movement of the hands. Thick fur covers the tiny ears. Covers the face and covers most of the tip of the nose. Cover the side of your mouth. But there was one place that was not covered. That's a pair. Jet-black eyes that are almost reflective.

At this time, such a pair of beautiful eyes are staring at another pair of beautiful eyes. The smile on the corner of Zheng Xiujing's mouth became thicker and thicker.

"Do you like dogs? I remember that you never had a pet before, and you thought you didn't like small animals. ”

The speed of light finished the ice cream in my hand, reached out and took the empty box left by Zheng Xiujing on the other side of the bench, and I asked her with some doubts.

Zheng Xiujing, who stroked Teddy's head for a while, suddenly stood up. I looked around, as if I was looking for something. She looked at me and replied nonchalantly.

"Actually, I like it a lot, and I can't be like Taeyeon Oni and them, I have a lot of friends to help take care of them when they're busy."

The empty box of ice cream was still in my hand, and I looked up at Zheng Xiujing, who was looking for something around, and my eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"You're not going to get this stray dog, are you?"

As soon as the words came out. Zheng Xiujing, who was originally just looking at the spot, seemed to have a flash of light in her eyes. She leaned over directly, picked up the teddy sitting on the ground without hesitation, and then pulled her legs through the sycamore forest.

looked at Zheng Xiujing, who suddenly moved. Sitting in my chair, I bowed my head and quickly got up and threw the empty box in the trash. chased Zheng Xiujing into the Wutong Forest, which was not much wide.

passed by a few plane trees that had entered the twilight, and chased Zheng Xiujing who was holding Teddy on the side of the road. She stopped. Started looking around again, and Teddy in her arms. There was no call from beginning to end.

Looking at Zheng Xiujing who was looking around, I could roughly understand what she was doing.

"Don't worry, this should really be a stray dog, don't you see that it is dirty and doesn't even walk steadily, it looks like it has been wandering for a long time. Such a cute dog should not have been thrown away, maybe it was lost. But then again, didn't you just say that you don't have time to take care of the puppy, why did you see a stray dog at this time and suddenly plan to raise it? ”

After listening to my words, he retracted his gaze towards Zheng Xiujing, who was looking around, and was relieved. Then, another inexplicable light flashed in her black eyes. Turning around, his eyes with a weird smile and the pair of watery eyes in his arms looked at me at the same time. At that moment, I felt a web of intrigue rushing towards me.

"Who said I was going to raise it, to be precise, it was me and Oba you who raised it together!"

Sure enough, this girl is having such an abacus.

Although it is said that there is no bad feeling for such a cute looking pet, it can even be said that there is a little love, just like Taeyeon's Kanazawa and Seo Hyun's tofu. But the point is, I also don't have much energy to take care of these troublesome guys who are only a little better than Zheng Xiujing. After the injury is healed, there is still a lot to do. At the moment, I'm not in a state where I can be leisurely enough to have a pet.

"Please, you're a busy man, aren't I?" Rubbing my temples, my first instinct was to refuse.

Seeing that I frowned and said no, Zheng Xiujing was about to speak, but was unexpectedly preempted by the teddy in her arms. Although the spirit is not very good, the little guy's cry is unexpectedly crisp and audible.

Looking down at Teddy, who called out to me twice as if in protest, Zheng Xiujing pursed her lips and chuckled.

"Oba, although I gradually have a schedule during this time, it is not too tight, so I will take care of it first. There may be more activities scheduled in a while, and I know you'll be busier by then, but you should be able to take care of it when you combine the time. If it really doesn't work, we'll discuss it then......"

Zheng Xiujing, who was 1.70 meters in shoes, bent her knees, and looked at me from top to bottom with a pitiful and pleading gaze. This situation ...... Really, really, is rare.

So, five seconds later, I sighed and directly declared defeat. (To be continued......) u
