Tao Zhi felt inexplicably guilty when asked by Xu Yanze, but there was no need to hide anything from Xu Yanze.

"Yeah." Tao Zhi replied.

"Gong Cheng?" There was no ripple in Xu Yanze's eyes.

Tao Zhi sighed when he heard this.

"Although I didn't intend to hide it from you, I really can't hide anything from you." Tao Zhi replied.

Tao Zhi looked at the basket that Xu Yanze brought, picked out the biggest and reddest peach from it, wiped it casually on his pajamas and was about to take a bite, but before he could put the peach into his mouth, Xu Yanze grabbed his wrist.

"Wash it before eating." Xu Yanze said gently.

"It's okay. I'm too lazy to wash it. At worst I can just peel off the skin and eat it." Tao Zhi replied.

Xu Yanze said nothing, just reached out and took the peach from Tao Zhi's hand, went to the kitchen, washed and dried the peach under the faucet, and came back to hand it to Tao Zhi.

Tao Zhi grinned and thanked him. When he took the peach into his mouth, the sweetness spread between his lips and teeth, and Tao Zhi's eyes lit up.

"The peaches you brought are still delicious." Tao Zhi said.

"The season is almost over. This is the last basket of the year. I will continue to send it to you next year." Xu Yanze said to Tao Zhi in front of him.

"Okay, I'll go to your yard and pick them myself when the time comes." Tao Zhi replied with a smile.

After Tao Zhi finished eating the peach in his hand, he took a few pieces of paper to wipe his mouth and looked at the silent Xu Yanze.

"Are you here today specifically to deliver peaches?" Tao Zhi asked.

Xu Yanze looked helpless when he heard this.

"You forgot, last week we agreed to go to the pet store together today to give them a bath." Xu Yanze said.

At this time, the chubby little Baga was chasing and biting the little naughty's big furry tail. The fat and panting little Baga naturally couldn't run faster than the little naughty. The little naughty then strolled leisurely, teasing the little Baga with his tail to keep up.

Little Xiba followed Xiao Baga in jumping and skipping, stumbling and falling several times, then getting up again groaning.

Upon hearing this, Tao Zhi remembered that he had made this agreement with Xu Yanze. He had been so sleepy at work these few days that he had completely forgotten about it.

"My bad, my bad. I'll go upstairs and change my clothes and we'll go."

As soon as Tao Zhi finished speaking, he was about to go up the stairs. Coincidentally, Gong Cheng, who had just changed his clothes upstairs, opened the door, and Tao Zhi and Gong Cheng's eyes met.

Gong Cheng was stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Yanze downstairs, then nodded slightly as a greeting. Xu Yanze smiled slightly and nodded in response.

Tao Zhi changed his clothes, took the leash and was about to squat down to put it on Xiao Baga, but he gritted his teeth in pain as soon as he bent his waist a little. Seeing this, Gong Cheng stepped forward and took the leash from Tao Zhi.

"Let me do it." Gong Cheng said.

Gong Cheng squatted down, held down the little Baga to stop it from moving, and then put on the leash.

Because Tao Zhi was injured, little Baga always liked to rush around. Gong Cheng was afraid that if Tao Zhi pulled little Baga, it would pull on the injured part, so he stood up and handed the pulling part of the rope to Xu Yanze.

Xu Yanze lowered his eyes to look at Gong Cheng's hand, and after a few moments of silence, he raised his head, and a ripple of emotion flashed across his eyes under his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Mr. Gong, would you like to go with us?" Xu Yanze suggested.

Gong Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked into Xu Yanze's eyes without any emotion.

Tao Zhi inexplicably felt that the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became weird, as if they were conducting some mysterious meeting and handover behind his back.

Little Baga was also very cooperative. He jumped around with his mouth wide open and used his claws to pull Gong Cheng's legs, motioning for Gong Cheng to hug him.

Tao Zhiben subconsciously wanted to stop it. After all, he had just done that kind of thing to Gong Cheng last night. He always felt a little guilty and didn't want to hang around in front of Gong Cheng for the time being.

But then he thought that the mission was more important, so he would stick with Gong Cheng if he could.

"Mr. Gong, would you mind going out for a walk with me?" Tao Zhi agreed.

Gong Cheng's heart was filled with waves.

"Okay." Gong Cheng replied.

When the three of them arrived at the pet shop, they sat in a row on the sofa and watched the employees wash Little Prank for a while. Little Baga and Little Xiba were still queuing behind them.

After changing several postures, Tao Zhi finally protested against the boring waiting process by beating his belly.

"My stomach says it's hungry," said Tao Zhi.

"Didn't you eat breakfast?" Xu Yanze asked.

"I haven't had time to eat since last night after all the hassles with Gong Cheng. I just ate a peach mat at home to fill my stomach." Tao Zhi curled his lips.

Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng lowered his head silently, and a blush appeared on his cheeks.

What lewd words are you saying, sir?

"Then let's find a restaurant nearby and have dinner first." Xu Yanze's expression remained unchanged.

"Let me take a look."

Tao Zhi took out his phone and searched, and saw a long string of WeChat group messages on the screen. He clicked on them and saw that Lang Bushin and the others were chatting enthusiastically.

"I am on vacation today and it is very boring. Would you like to come out to the dinner table and chat with me?" Lang Bushin asked.

"What a coincidence! I just got off the high-speed train. Send me the address and I'll come over after I drop off my luggage at the hotel."

"Oh, by the way, I'll bring someone with me, remember to save an extra seat." Jin Suwen said.

"Bring someone? Your partner? I've been stuck for a few days and can't write anything. I just wanted to find you guys to chat and relax." Zhang Miaoyu replied.

"Okay, I just have some news to tell you, and I'll take people with me too." Zhao Feiyin replied.

"I'll bring someone with me too." Gu Dongnan replied.

"No, wait, what do you mean, we haven't seen each other for such a while, and you all found partners one by one?" Lang Bushin sent a "shocked" emoticon.

"What time do you want to go? I need to ask my neighbor next door to help me look after my flower shop." Qiao Mu replied.

"I'm available in terms of time. Is there anything you want to eat?" Lang Bushin asked.

"Let's have some barbecue. I've eaten there many times near where I live and it tastes great." Tao Zhi replied.

"Oh, Brother Tao is here too. Okay, let's eat barbecue. Brother Tao's picks must be the best." Lang Bushin said.

"Oh, by the way, I'll bring someone over later, too. I'll bring one more than them."

Tao Zhi sent the message with a smile, seeming to be in a good mood because his desire to win was satisfied in a strange place.

"It's not you, Brother Tao? That's a bit off the mark. How can you put your small town in such a state with this action?" Lang Bushin complained.

"Brother, you are a little too confident. Warm reminder, Sister-in-law Xiaocheng is also in the group. Be careful that if he sees the message, you will be chased to the crematorium." Zhang Miaoyu replied.

When Tao Zhi saw Zhang Miaoyu's words, he looked at the words "chasing husband" and fell into deep thought.

Does Zhang Miaoyu have any misunderstanding about herself or Gong Cheng?

"Did you see anything you wanted to eat?" Xu Yanze asked.

"I made an appointment with Lang Bushin and the others to have a barbecue at the restaurant we often go to." Tao Zhi replied.
