"clatter"

The voice-controlled light came on, illuminating Shen Tingnuo's pale face.

Her hair was messy and there were bruises at the corners of her eyes, which were left by punches.

Holding on to the rusty railing, she moved step by step. Every time she moved, she felt pain in her bones.

After returning to the rented apartment on the third floor, Shen Tingnuo did not rush to close the door. Instead, she checked the toilet, cabinets, and under the bed. Only after making sure that no one was hiding did she close the security door with peace of mind and sat on the hard wooden chair with cold hands and feet.

She didn't know how long she sat there until she felt something strange in her trouser leg. She finally calmed down a little and bent down to touch the stray dog ​​she picked up last month.

It was a little abandoned dog. Shen Tingnuo felt sorry for it, so he gritted his teeth and took it back to his rented house to raise it.

The coldest temperature in the capital city can reach minus 20 degrees Celsius in winter. If she doesn't bring the puppy back to her rented house, it will only die.

"I'm sorry, our dinner was spilled. You'll have to go hungry with me tonight."

The little dog seemed to understand what she said, and made a "weeping" sound that seemed both coquettish and comforting, while its little tail wagged until it flew off.

Shen Tingnuo scratched its furry neck and said, "Although we don't have dinner, we have midnight snacks."

She pulled out two still warm boiled eggs from her sleeves and dangled them in the air, attracting the little dog's watery eyes.

"Look, boiled eggs, one for each of us and one for the dog, and no one is allowed to eat more than one."

The little dog stuck out its red tongue as if it was laughing, and its little tail was wagging in a bigger arc.

After the man and the dog shared two boiled eggs, Shen Tingnuo turned on the old TV. He originally wanted to listen to some sound to make the small room more lively, but he saw the man he hadn't seen for many days on TV.

He was wearing a high-end suit and his hair was meticulously groomed. His usual indifferent face now had a hint of gentleness that Shen Tingnuo had never seen before.

A small hand was resting on his bent arm, and on the ring finger of that small hand was a diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg, the gem shining brightly.

Shen Tingnuo felt a sour feeling in his nose, and his gradually blurred vision moved to the face of the owner of the diamond ring.

The woman has a sweet look, a shy smile, and the temperament of a girl next door.

Staring at the woman's eyebrows, Shen Tingnuo felt somewhat familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that the woman, in terms of appearance and temperament, was somewhat similar to Fu Xiuyan's deceased childhood sweetheart, Bai Yueguang, whom he loved but could not have.

"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend Ayan and I's engagement party. The new year is about to arrive, and I wish you all the best." The woman raised her glass generously and smiled sweetly.

Listening to the laughter coming from the TV, Shen Tingnuo was stunned, and tears gathered into beads and rolled down from his eyes, wetting his little face.

Ah Yan?

Engagement party?

Fu Xiuyan not only allowed the woman to call him that, but he was also planning to marry her.

It was such a grand engagement party, there was even a live broadcast. I can’t imagine how big it will be on the wedding day.

Feeling warmth on her face, Shen Tingnuo touched the little dog who was worried about her.

"It's okay. It's okay."

I was talking to the little dog, and also to myself.

She's fine.

Fu Xiuyan’s affairs had nothing to do with her.

They were already divorced, so who he got engaged or married to was none of her business.

But for some reason, not only did her heart hurt so much, but even her breathing became a little difficult, and she couldn't stop her tears from falling.

She had been living like a beast of burden these days and was extremely exhausted, but she still couldn't forget Fu Xiuyan.

"Snapped!"

He slapped himself hard, his face became numb and red, but he couldn't stop the hidden pain and grievance in his heart.

"Shen Tingnuo is a bit promising. He has long since stopped wanting you. No, it should be said that he has never wanted you!"

"Don't cry, don't be sad, don't think about him anymore!"

"Snapped!"

"Don't cry, don't be sad, don't think about him anymore!"

"Snapped!"

"Don't cry, don't be sad, don't think about him anymore!"

"Snapped!"

"..."

"..."

He slapped his face red almost in an act of self-abuse. The little dog in his arms became anxious and kept trying to stop Shen Tingnuo from hitting his hand.

"I'm fine, it's okay, I'll be fine soon, I can be fine without him..."

Shen Tingnuo hugged the meowing little dog and wiped the moisture off his face.

After calming down for a long time, she still couldn't calm herself down. She had to find something to do, otherwise she would go crazy.

Putting down the little dog in her arms, she rummaged through the cupboard and took out the light bulb she had bought downstairs the day before.

There were two lights in the small room, one was a long tube lamp and the other was a small light bulb. The energy-saving small light bulb was broken and she didn't have time to replace it.

She originally wanted to ask the landlord to help her replace it, but the black-hearted landlord asked for a huge sum of money, one hundred dollars.

One hundred dollars was her weekly food allowance, so she might as well spend eight dollars to buy a new light bulb.

Leaning the borrowed wooden ladder against the wall to make sure it wouldn't slip, she climbed up holding the new light bulb. The little dog worriedly paced back and forth beside the ladder, barking occasionally.

It doesn't bark like ordinary puppies, but only makes a slight "whimper" sound.

Shen Tingnuo discovered this when he picked it up, but because he had no money, he never took it to the pet hospital for a check-up.

She plans to wait until next year when the weather is warmer, and then take the puppy to the pet hospital for a head-to-toe check-up. By then, she should have saved enough money for the puppy's medical treatment.

After replacing the light bulb with a good one, Shen Tingnuo was about to go down when the wooden ladder under his feet suddenly broke.

With a loud bang, she fell from a height of two meters, with the back of her head hitting the ground first.

There was a sharp pain and she felt a wetness at the back of her head.

"Oh oh" The little dog licked her face frantically, as if trying to wake her up.

Shen Tingnuo wanted to rub its head as usual and tell it not to worry, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't lift her hand.

It hurts, it hurts so much, and it's cold.

The TV was still playing. In a daze, she seemed to hear Fu Xiuyan's voice, but she couldn't hear what he said specifically.

No matter how she deceived herself, she couldn't forget him.

After taking a break and regaining some strength, Shen Tingnuo took out the old phone from his coat, lay flat on the ground, and struggled to dial the number that was engraved in his bones.

When the eleven-digit number was dialed, Shen Tingnuo was stunned for a moment.

what is she doing?

At this time, she should call 120 for help.

When I came to my senses and was about to hang up, the call was connected.

"Hello?" came a woman's sweet voice.

Shen Tingnuo pressed the button several times but failed to hang up the phone.

"Excuse me, who are you?" After waiting for too long for a response, the woman asked again.

"I, I'm looking for Fu Xiuyan..." Shen Tingnuo blurted out, and only after he finished speaking did he realize that he had done something stupid.

"Looking for Ah Yan, please wait a moment, I'll go call him."
