leave you

So that night, when Lawyer Xue was walking his dog, he ran into Lawyer Gu who was driving by.

"... just got off work?" The other party parked beside him, Xue Jin touched his nose, not even saying hello.

Because he was going out for a run, he was wearing sportswear, his hair was untouched, and he looked what he looked like after washing and drying, so he was a little embarrassed to be bumped into by Gu Zhilin.Lucas squatted next to his lap, curiously looked up at Gu Zhilin in the car, and tentatively sniffed his hand.Gu Zhilin stretched out his hand from the car window for him to sniff, Lucas nodded his head in a friendly manner, and then licked his hand.

Xue Jin was amazed by their intimacy. Although Lucas is smart, he is not particularly enthusiastic. He is usually very polite to strangers who meet for the first time. But now, within 5 minutes of meeting, he obediently rushed to Gu Zhilin's car In the back seat, sit back and wait for the man to take himself for a drive.

"I used to raise a dog, and it was also a border herd." Gu Zhilin explained while driving, "Then when something happened at home when I was in college, I really couldn't care about it, so I gave it away."

"Then it is now?"

"I went to see it. I stayed in my new home very well, so I didn't bring it back to suffer." During the stop at the red light, Gu Zhilin reached out and touched Lucas's head, "At that time, I could only rent a one-bedroom apartment. It’s not a good choice to keep a dog in an old house, but later it fell in love with the new owner, and I also…”

"A dog is very affectionate. No matter how well it gets along with its new owner, it will remember you." Xue Jin did not comment on his choice, but said, "Just like Lucas, although he lives with me temporarily, he always remembers you." The last time I talked to Zixi on the phone, it had to squeeze in and listen, it missed her very much."

Gu Zhilin didn't say anything, the green light came on, he stepped on the accelerator and continued to drive forward, Lucas rubbed Xue Jin's hand affectionately, and obediently stayed in the back seat to watch the scenery outside the windshield.

Xue Jin felt a little embarrassed for no reason, so he stopped talking and lowered his head to chat with people on WeChat.

Yang Zixi was very relieved to throw the dog to Xue Jin, and became a hands-off shopkeeper. After the court session, she was unwilling to return to Jiangcheng.Xue Jin couldn't help chatting with her privately: "Your Majesty, may I ask when will you drive back to the palace?"

"I'm eating sukiyaki pot outside." Yang Zixi played wildly outside, but the news came back quickly, "What's the matter, brother, is Lucas disobedient?"

"Lucas is very good," Xue Jin said speechlessly, "It's because your tourist photos are too eye-catching, and you have already checked in at an online celebrity shop, can you take some normal photos?"

"..." Yang Zixi was sprayed by him for no reason, and felt that he was lying on the gun very well, "Is your uncle here or did you quarrel with Gu Zhilin again, and I will be scolded for posting a tourist photo?"

Xue Jin didn't bring earphones to go out, thinking that it's not a secret that he can't listen to molesting his junior sister, so he just put it on to chat with her on the voice call for convenience.He didn't expect that Yang Zixi would bring Gu Zhilin to the stage at this time, it was already too late to cover the speaker with his hand, Gu Zhilin glanced at him, with a half-smile: "Uncle?"

Hearing his voice, Yang Zixi was taken aback, and immediately hung up the voice quickly, and sent a text message to Xue Jin.

"How are you with him?"

Xue Jin also found that he was very careless in chatting voice, so he cooperated with her and transferred to underground work.

"I met him while walking the dog. He said he would take Lucas for a drive, so I came up."

"Die, did he hear everything we said just now?"

"Who told you to speak so loudly, it's too late to cover it up."

"I didn't know you were in someone else's car!" Yang Zixi was wronged, but couldn't hold back his gossip, and asked meanly, "What's going on? Didn't you two... break up?"

Xue Jin was very calm about this: "Yes, it happened more than two months ago."

"Then why are you still together?????"

Yang Zixi used five question marks to express his shock and bewilderment.

What else could Xue Jin say, he found someone else by himself, although they didn't get together as she said, but he had no position to refute this statement.

So he had no choice but to prevaricate, ended the conversation simply and rudely with "I'm going to walk the dog", and then looked up at Gu Zhilin: "Let us get out of the car, I'll take Lucas for a walk by the river. "

"Have you eaten?" Gu Zhilin asked.

"I'm not hungry yet, I'll buy it later when I get home." Xue Jin put away his phone and opened the door to get out of the car, "Thanks."

Lukas obediently followed Xue Jin out of the car, looked up at Gu Zhilin in the car, and didn't run away until Xue Jin tugged on its leash.

Parking is not allowed in this area, so Gu Zhilin stepped on the accelerator and drove forward, seeing in the rearview mirror that they had gone away one by one, so he turned around and drove in the opposite direction.

His mother called him on the way, and he freed his hand to hang up the headset: "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Linlin, the meal is ready, why haven't you come back yet?"

"On the way." Gu Zhilin looked at the road ahead, "Maybe there will be a traffic jam for a while, why don't you eat first and don't wait for me."

"I've eaten. How can I wait for you to get off work? Yesterday, I made an appointment with my neighbor, Aunt Zhou, to go out for a walk. The food is still hot in the pot. You can eat it yourself when you come back."

Aunt Zhou is a nice person, and she gets along very well with his mother recently, and often comes to his house to chat with his mother, and Gu Zhilin feels relieved when she goes out with her, so he said: "Okay, then be careful."

His house is actually nearby, just across the bridge, in the old residential area on the other side of the river, across the river from the high-rise apartments and mansions.The house is a second-hand house he bought a few years ago. It is a dormitory with three bedrooms and two halls. The property is quite secure.After buying it, he first smashed the floor and replaced it with a new one, repainted the walls, replaced new furniture and electrical appliances, and now it looks like the same thing.

His mother came here to live in the guest room temporarily, Gu Zhilin wanted to tidy up her room, but she said no.

"Just live for a while, why buy so many things? I will go back next month, and then there will be dust again."

Gu Zhilin couldn't resist her, so he had no choice but to let her go.The water pipes in the old house were broken and needed to be redecorated. She took the opportunity to come to Jiangcheng to play for a few months. She didn't tell him beforehand that she only called him when she got off the high-speed train. Xing Xing took her home properly, then turned around and rushed to the hotel.

But it was of no use, Xue Jin had already left at that time, and he was in vain.Later, when it was discovered that the misunderstanding was serious, it was already too late.

His mother doesn't realize how big a butterfly effect her whim has produced. She cooks for him every day, takes the elevator downstairs to go for a walk in her spare time, and gets to know other aunts in the community within a few days. I don't want to leave.

Thinking of Gu Zhilin's headache, but he has no choice but to let her go.

Xue Jin took Lucas back and forth on the riverside greenway twice, and then bought sandwiches and coffee from the family on the side of the road, and sat on a bench by the side of the road to solve the dinner problem.

With such a short distance, the dog is of course not tired, but he, a quasi-sub-healthy person who has been sitting in an office for a long time, is still a little panting after running down.Fortunately, Lucas was obedient, and with a rope tied to him, he knew that he shouldn't run around. He honestly rolled and acted like a baby on the grass in front of Xue Jin, trying to trick him into getting a canned food tonight by being cute.

"I found that you don't know anything else, but you are very good at cheating food and drinking." Xue Jin was amused by it, put the coffee aside, and waved to it, "Come and drink water."

He brought Lucas a special portable drinking fountain, but the water in it had already been drunk, so he bought new mineral water at the convenience store when he bought food just now.Xue Jin couldn't unscrew the bottle cap with one hand, so he freed his hand to fight with the mineral water with the sandwich in his mouth. As a result, Lucas, who was squatting next to him waiting for the water to drink, was attracted by the sandwich and jumped up on the spot to snatch it from his mouth. He took the sandwich, bit it in his mouth and ran away, and bumped Xue Jin's hand that had just unscrewed the bottle cap, causing him to spill half of the bottle of water on his body.

Xue Jin: "..."

When he went out today, Lucas made trouble for a while, and happened to forget to bring a tissue. Who will tell him what to do?

Lucas ran far away in one breath, ate half of a light ham and eggs sandwich, and then came back wagging his tail discerningly to beg for a fight.Xue Jin wasn't in the mood to take care of it, luckily what was spilled was only mineral water, he was wearing black sweatpants, it didn't look too obvious, but the feeling of wetness on his legs was too subtle, he didn't even want to imagine what the effect would be .

He put the drinking fountain on Lucas angrily, and sat on the chair for a while, trying to wait for the water to dry naturally.But at night, the wind was strong, and when the cold wind blew, his pants were still stubbornly wet, so he sneezed pitifully first.

After Lucas finished drinking the water, he wagged his tail in front of him with joy. Xue Jin gave him a couple of helpless strokes, and said harshly to him: "If I catch a cold, I will ask your mother to reimburse the medical expenses."

Someone behind him laughed loudly. He turned his head and found that it was two aunts walking together. One of them was still holding a handkerchief that had just been taken out of his bag. Seeing him turning around, he smiled : "Young man, take it and wipe it, the dog has been mischievous and spilled water, hasn't it?"

Xue Jin felt a little embarrassed when he was bumped into by a stranger, but he still took it, thanked Auntie, took out a tissue and began to deal with his wet pants.

Lucas was reserved at the moment, squatting at his feet looking at the two aunts, sticking out his tongue friendly.The aunt who handed the tissue saw that it was cute and liked it, so she asked Xue Jin, "Can I pet it?"

"Touch it, it doesn't bite."

The two aunts really liked dogs, and played with Lucas for a while, praising him for being smart.Xue Jin seized the time to deal with it reluctantly, and confirmed that the pants were visible, then packed up his things and stood up, and returned the remaining tissue to the other party: "Thank you, it was a great help."

"Remember to bring roll paper next time you walk the dog, the dog still needs to poop, what do you do with it?"

He didn't say that the dog wasn't his own, and explained with a smile that he brought a garbage bag, but he forgot to take a tissue when he went out, and said goodbye to the other party: "It's a bit cold at night, I'll take it back first."

It was not easy to take a taxi with Lucas, but fortunately, the distance was not far away. Xue Jin took off his coat and tied it around his waist, and ran home with the dog. Fortunately, he did not meet anyone he knew on the way, which made him heave a sigh of relief .

While waiting for the elevator, he thought of those two kind-hearted aunts again, and always felt that something was not right.They should be old sisters who went out for a walk together, but one of them was sitting in a wheelchair, and his legs and feet were obviously not very convenient, and...

The aunt in the wheelchair seems familiar?
