Ling Li gasped. Speaking of money, her straight spine seems to be only a compression fracture.

After a while, she said uneasily: "I'm afraid I can't afford to pay it." Professor Nan, can I pay in installments? ”

He frowned and looked around, his fingertips rubbing his smooth chin, and suddenly asked, "Is this your home?" Where do you live? ”

Ling Li tilted his head, his eyes were a little guarded, and he didn't understand what his intentions were with this question. However, in the end, he nodded in acknowledgement.

Nan Zhiyi's brows seemed to stretch a little, and there was a glint in his eyes: "The old elm stool you picked up is round, and you hit me just now, it seems that you have a lot of strength, right?" ”

I don't know where this question comes from, is it really angry to talk to her about responsibility? Or, Nanzhiyi wants to fight back?

But there was no anger in his eyes, and there was an indifferent expression on his face, it didn't seem like he was going to give an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth?

Ling Li hesitated for a moment, but decided to take responsibility bravely, and answered this question honestly: "Some skinny boys can't break my wrists. ”

Nan Zhiyi smiled and patted her shoulder heavily: "Isn't this solved!" You just need to do something for me, and I won't pursue any of the things you hit me and dirty my clothes. ”

Ling Li rubbed her aching shoulder, listening to Nan Zhiyi's own words, she was a little confused at first, and finally figured out the ins and outs.

Nanzhiyi's home is nearby, in an upscale apartment less than a kilometer away from the building where she lives.

Nanzhiyi lives alone, however, he has two dogs. One golden retriever, one husky.

Speaking of the family dog, Nan Zhiyi scratched his head, very helpless: "Originally, there was only one Erha, but it was too naughty, I thought about raising a golden retriever with Erha and making him more behaved." Who knows, I harvested two Erha. ”

After graduating, Ling Li worked in a pet store for a period of time, took care of many pets, and knew a little about some common dog breeds.

She remembered the cheerful temperament of the husky, known as one of the "Three Fools in the Snow", and the scene where she made up a golden retriever and followed Erha to learn badly, and she couldn't help but laugh again.

Nan Zhiyi glanced at her, propped up Erlang's legs and said slowly: "You live close, your brain is not good, but it seems that your limbs are quite developed, and the heavy stool is like a meteor hammer, presumably walking a dog will be a good hand." ”

Ling Li looked at him with her mouth wide open, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Nan Zhiyi touched his clean chin and smiled sheepishly: "I have to go to the imperial capital next month, and Lai can't rely on it." ”

He squinted at her and added: "In the month I left, you helped me take care of the dog, walked once in the morning and evening, and had one meal of dog food a day, if you want to do well, then our account will be written off." ”

After forcing Ling Li to agree to help him take care of the dog, Nan Zhiyi seemed to be in a good mood, and he had to make up another bowl of beef noodles before leaving.

Uncle cooked it and brought it to him, he sat on the sofa and ate it heavily, and because of the injury at the corner of his mouth, he inhaled in pain while sucking the noodles, which made Ling Li feel guilty and funny.

It was twelve o'clock in the evening when he left, and Nan Zhiyi looked funny in his uncle's clothes, but he himself didn't care at all, and walked away humming a messy song.

Looking at the back like a bamboo pole under the street lamp, my uncle still couldn't believe it: "You said this guest is a professor?" ”

Seeing Ling Li nodding in affirmation, his uncle hissed: "He said he was a teacher, I thought he was a teacher from a nearby middle school, but I didn't expect it to be a professor." I thought the professors were old men about my age, but they were so young? It can't be a liar, right? ”

Ling Li was a little amused: "Liar? Lie to you what, a bowl of beef noodles? A real professor, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid my lawsuit would have lost twenty-five in a row. ”

Suddenly reacted again, and slapped his forehead in annoyance.

Just now she was trained by Nanzhiyi so that she couldn't find the north, and she forgot to give him the labor fee for his appearance in court.

The uncle stared at her closely, his eyes full of doubts: "Twenty-five consecutive defeats? Are you saying you've lost twenty-five lawsuits? ”

Only then did Ling Li realize that she had leaked her mouth, and she was busy playing haha and being frightened. Fortunately, my uncle didn't dig any further, so she was fooled.

The next day was the weekend, and when Ling Li was helping out in her uncle's restaurant, a round-faced girl she had met twice at Funan University came to her door.

"Pink Girl No. 2?" The girl looked at the address in her hand, made sure that she had found the right place, and asked Ling Li, who was moving the bench.

Ling Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded affirmatively, understanding that this was probably Nan Zhiyi's task to let her walk the dog.

The round-faced girl said to her with a serious face, "It's you, come with me." ”

After that, the girl took her a kilometer to the bottom of an apartment building and told her about Nan Zhiyi's instructions.

"Teacher Nan lives on the top floor of the eighteenth floor, 1801, and he said that Mi Li and Guli will be handed over to you to take care of for a month, the dog food is on the kitchen balcony, and the measuring cup is placed in a bag, and there are not many cups a day. Starting tomorrow, we will walk once a day, in the morning and in the evening. The plants in the roof garden can't be moved, and they can't be watered, and someone will take care of them. ”

Ling Li clearly recorded what the girl said in the small book she was carrying, and raised her head again: "I understand." And I've got to meet the two dogs first, what if you don't think I'm a thief? ”

The round-faced girl shook her head: "Mr. Nan is packing his luggage today, I'm afraid you will get in the way and say I don't need you to go up, the key to his door is in the hands of Mr. Tian, the neighbor who is on the other side, you knock directly tomorrow, and the neighbor will give you the key and take you to know the dog." ”

After speaking, he took out another piece of paper and gave it to her, adding: "Teacher Nan said that you are confused and stupid, although the road is not far, I am afraid that you will get lost, this map is for you." ”

The girl pointed to the four numbers on the left side of the map: "This is the password for the downstairs access control, Mr. Nan said that your memory is too poor, and he specially told me to write it down for you, you can take it." ”

Ling Li looked at the map and password that were clearly marked in his hand, and his heart was a little crazy.

As for Nan Zhiyi's face blindness, are you embarrassed to complain about her poor memory? With a wry smile, she said, "You Teacher Nan really don't save face when you speak. ”

The girl was still unfazed: "Our teacher Nan has always been realistic, he said that you are stupid, you must be really stupid, he originally said that I should talk to you less so as not to be stained with your stupidity, I didn't tell you." ”

Ling Li smiled dumbly, Nan Zhiyi's strange flowers were really all children with abnormal brain circuits.

Picking up the note, she said helplessly: "Okay, I know everything." I've met three times, and I don't know what your name is. ”

The girl was stunned, and finally had a little embarrassed expression on her face.

After a while, she said, "They all call me Taoxing, so you can call me that." ”

Ling Li was a little puzzled, what is going on with this vulgar and glamorous name, which is the same painting style as the little girl in the bloody costume drama?

Tao Xing understood her doubts, and there seemed to be a bit of vicissitudes in her eyes: "Like your pink sister No. 2, I ate the fruit of the peach and apricot hybrid that the teacher drew freshly, and since then everyone has forgotten my real name." ”

The mood of sympathy arose, Ling Li looked at Tao Xing sympathetically, secretly thinking that compared to her name, her pink girl No. 2 was really cute, fresh and refined.

After that, Tao Xing handed her a note with a mobile phone number, saying that it was Nan Zhiyi's contact information in the imperial capital, and if there was anything wrong with the two dogs, remember to contact them in time.

The girl completed the task, clapped her hands with satisfaction, and did not say goodbye to Ling Li, and left on a bicycle parked downstairs by herself.

When she didn't go to work on Sunday, Ling Li remembered the task assigned by Nan Zhiyi, got up early, and went out to walk the dog before seven o'clock after a simple grooming.

It's early November, and the morning air is getting chilly. Ling Li was a little dressed, and walked a kilometer with her arms in her arms, and when she arrived downstairs at Nanzhiyi's house, she was already freezing her teeth and fighting.

She opened the door and entered the stairwell according to the access code on the note, and then took the elevator up to the eighteenth floor.

This building is a staircase and two households, and it looks like it has good lighting and ventilation. Ling Li glanced at the closed door of 1801, repeatedly confirmed that he was indeed not mistaken, and turned to ring the doorbell of room 1802 opposite.

As soon as the doorbell was pressed, there was no reaction to the silence inside the door, but a dog barked from 1801.

On a weekend morning, it was just seven o'clock, and the neighbors probably hadn't gotten up yet.

Ling Li waited patiently, looked at her watch for three minutes, and then pressed the doorbell again.

This time there was finally a reaction, and a vague voice replied: "Wait, come right away." ”

It took at least five minutes for the door to finally open.

Behind the door was a tall, thin man, with fresh and clean eyebrows, and his hair was not messy, although he was neatly dressed, but the smell of mint mixed with lemon on his body, and the water stains on the tips of his hair, showed that he had just gotten up.

The man leaned on the knocker arm and looked at her with scrutiny in his eyes.

"Hello, I'm ......"

Nan Zhiyi's neighbor turned out to be a handsome guy, which made Ling Li stunned for a moment, and for a while he was a little nervous and his tongue began to knot.

Before she could finish speaking, the man interrupted her: "You're here to walk the dog?" ”

Ling Li swallowed half of the words and said "um" softly.

The man didn't speak, but turned around and took the string of keys from the hook in his own entryway.

Before he could close the door, a woman's voice floated out of the room: "Who?" ”

It's a very ordinary two words, but this voice is soft and waxy, and the sound quality is very young but with a hint of sultry tail, just listening to it makes people reverie.

Ling Li was a little uncomfortable, the man obviously felt that this voice was out of place, his eyebrows were slightly pressed and he took a step forward to block Ling Li's sight, and closed the door quietly, his voice was calm: "Go." ”

As they approached, the dogs inside Gate 1801 became more excited, with a few loud gurgling sounds from time to time, a coquettish sound between them, and the sound of paws scratching the door.

The man poked the key into the keyhole, and he was supposed to open the door with a twist, but his movements slowed down, his brows furrowed, and his chin tightened, and said, "I suggest you'd better hold your breath." ”

Ling Li looked at his expression as if he was facing a great enemy, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. With the click of the lock cylinder, the man grabbed the doorknob and opened a crack in the door, and quickly turned sideways to avoid being affected by the biological weapon.

The inexperienced Ling Li was so smoked by the strange smell wafting from the door that she almost lost her breath, and in a trance, she saw two shadows, one black and one yellow, popping out of the small crack in the door. When she saw clearly that the shadows in front of her were two dogs, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

Looking at the dog jumping in the stairwell, the man gave a short and powerful shout: "Certain! ”

As soon as the yellow shadow heard the command, his buttocks involuntarily planted on the ground, and finally sat down after a few struggles, and the black one pretended not to hear it at all, still shaking his head and spreading joy happily.

Ling Li's eyes widened as she looked at the dog in front of her, which was obviously bigger than expected, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "This is the Golden Retriever and the Husky?" ”

The black long-haired Alaskan Malamute sled dog "whooped" at Ling Li, ran to her with his tail on his toes and sniffed it, snorting hot air in his nose, and then turned his head and ran to the man, rubbing his trouser leg and coquettish.

The man bent down slightly, put one hand on Alaska's head, and said slowly, "I knew that Nanzhiyi told you about the golden retriever and the husky." See, it's just Alaska, and it's called Rice Grain. ”

He pointed to another enlarged version of the Golden Retriever: "This is a Hough* dog, a shepherd dog, stronger than the Golden Retriever, with a stubborn temper and a stronger physique, and his name is Guli." ”

Finally, he handed her the key in his hand, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved and he smiled very well: "I won't go to Longtan Tiger's Den, I wish you good luck." ”

Ling Li took the key, only to feel that his brain was still like a mess of paste. However, it is certain that she was cheated by Nanzhiyi again.

In desperation, she had no choice but to pinch her nose and hurriedly drove the two Wang Xingren into the house. closed the door, and suddenly remembered that she had caused trouble to the neighbor because of the crampedness just now, but she didn't thank him, which was really rude.

She opened the door, just in time to see the man's back leaving, just wanted to call him, but didn't know what to call, can't she say "hey"?

Ling Li tilted her head sideways and thought about it, as if Tao Xing had said what was the neighbor's surname yesterday? But at this critical juncture, her uncompetitive brain just desperately knotted and couldn't think of anything.

Seeing that the man had opened the door, Ling Li finally had a flash of inspiration, remembering that his surname seemed to be Tian.

opened his mouth and was about to shout, but with the man's action of opening the door, a pair of arms stretched out and wrapped around the man's neck.

The half-open door blocked Ling Li's vision, but the arm lines were soft, the skin was smooth and fair, and the fingers held on the back of the man's neck were slender and soft, and the fingertips were also dyed with a faint red.

And a muffled female voice came from behind the door: "Teacher......"

This inappropriate picture made Ling Li subconsciously retract her head, but she couldn't help but prick up her ears and eavesdrop.

I only heard the man laugh softly: "Little goblin, didn't you say that Jinwu Zangjiao can't see the light, why did you run out?" ”

The woman's voice was so delicate that it was tireless: "People miss you." ”

After that, the voices of the two gradually went down, followed by the sound of the door closing, and the building was quiet again.
