Jigsaw puzzle

After Han Yicheng resumed work, she found that Qi Xin liked to run towards him and Li Ran more and more, especially now that the weather was hot and the sun was setting late, she could come here by herself by subway, so she came here more diligently, almost a week Didn't go home a few times.

And it turned out that Qi Xin was always like a little adult, never forgetting to go back and take care of Qi Dongqing, and Han Yicheng felt a little strange about her being too "active" recently.

"Are you having conflicts with your father?" Han Yicheng asked her, "Aren't you going back on Monday?"

Qi Xin was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and drawing, when Han Yicheng asked her, she threw the sketchbook aside, as if hesitating to speak.

"I told you, don't be angry," Qi Xin gave Han Yicheng a serious look, and said in a low voice, "I think... my father and sister Chen Xian's relationship is a bit abnormal."

"What is an abnormal relationship?"

"Oh, that's right, they seem to be in a relationship, but they don't seem to be in a relationship, and they are always behind my back..." Qi Xin wrung her hands tightly as she said, and looked at Han Yicheng nervously, "You are angry ?"

Han Yicheng thought for a while, not knowing why Qi Xin was so cautious, so he asked her: "I won't be angry, it's their own business, it has nothing to do with me."

"Why do you ask if I'm going to be angry? Are you going to feel sick?"

"I...don't know, I like sister Chen Xian quite a lot, but...I don't know either." Seeing Han Yicheng's calm reaction, Qi Xin rested her head on her knees depressed, and stared at the coffee table in bewilderment.

At this time, Li Ran came home from get off work in the dance studio, and saw Qi Xin drawing on the sofa sullenly, so he quietly asked Han Yicheng with his mouth: "What's wrong with her?"

"I'm in a bad mood, saying that Qi Dongqing... seems to be in love with Chen Xian."

"Ah?" Li Ran did not expect this, he silently pulled Han Yicheng into the room, "What's the matter, did they tell Qi Xin? Is Qi Xin angry with them?"

"They probably didn't think about it. Qi Xin discovered it by herself." Han Yicheng frowned, recalling Qi Xin's tone of analysis with Li Ran just now, "I think...she might be a little sad, but she couldn't figure out why. Just now He kept asking me if I was angry."

Li Ran nodded: "She should be sad, but she feels that there is no reason to be angry, so she keeps asking you. Maybe she wants to find a reason for her depression, or find someone who can empathize with you?"

"But she has always liked Chen Xian very much, and she had no objection to Qi Dongqing looking for a girlfriend before, so why is she sad now?"

"I can probably understand a little bit. Maybe it's a feeling of being betrayed? Hey, I can't tell the specifics. She should have reached the age of rebellion. It's hard to guess."

"Then what should we do?" Han Yicheng asked.

"When I'm here, let me coax her more, try to make her happy, and divert her attention. You should also think about where the root of the problem is. The two of you should feel more alike. After all, you know her better, and she also kiss you more."

"Ah."

Qi Xin probably felt that Han Yicheng and Li Ran were also talking behind her back, so she shouted in the living room from time to time, "I'm so hungry, don't you want to eat?"

Li Ran pointed to the outside, signaling to go out, and Han Yicheng pulled him back and kissed him several times before letting him go to the living room.

"Qi Xin, is there anything you want to buy or do? Brother Ran will buy it for you~" Li Ran calmly ordered Han Yicheng to serve the meal, and pulled Qi Xin to the dining table to ask her.

"I don't know, I... can't think of anything missing."

Han Yicheng brought the good meals to the table one by one, and echoed Li Ran: "If you think about it, there will always be."

"...Lack of a new sketchbook?"

"Isn't this too uncreative? I'll place an order for you in minutes. Be bold and say something that is more difficult to achieve, and make it difficult for Lao Han!" Li Ran fanned the flames while eating, "Only one day I have this opportunity Oh, don’t miss this opportunity and never come again.”

Qi Xin stared at the two of them suspiciously for a long time, unable to figure out what the hell these two people were up to, it was Li Ran who said he wanted to help her realize her wish, but somehow pushed it to Han Yicheng.

"Can you really say anything?" Qi Xin seemed to think of something suddenly, and looked at Han Yicheng expectantly.

Han Yicheng didn't realize that he was being tricked by Li Ran in this way, he nodded to Qi Xin: "Tell me first, as long as it's not too much, I'll try my best."

"I want to keep a pet!" Qi Xin announced excitedly, her voice breaking slightly, "It's fine to keep it with you, as long as I can come over often, it's fine to let it accompany me. Is this request... a bit too much?"

Han Yicheng didn't expect that Qi Xin would want to keep a pet, and he still kept it with them. He looked at Li Ran a little embarrassed, and found that this person was also looking at him with a smirk, a little gloating.

"What should I do, Lao Han, I also want to keep pets? Is it a bit too much? Huh?"

"Then... let's raise it, we'll figure out a way next week." Han Yicheng felt that he had been tricked out of nowhere.

It was easy for Han Yicheng to slap his forehead and agree. When he actually went to the pet store with Li Ran, he discovered that the two of them had huge differences in preferences when it came to keeping pets.

Li Ran likes dogs, the bigger the better. He was so fascinated by a large golden retriever in the pet shop that he couldn't drag it away no matter how hard he tried. He wished he could pay the money on the spot to take the dog home.

That golden retriever also seemed to love Li Ran very much. It lay on Li Ran's lap and panted non-stop. From time to time, it stuck out its tongue and licked Li Ran's face. Han Yicheng's eyebrows twisted into the word "Chuan" , the solution cannot be solved.

"Cats are very independent and elegant." Han Yicheng pointed to a pastoral cat in a nearby cage, "and cats are cheaper, which suits us very well."

"Ah, I hate cats. Look at their eyes, they look very mean." Li Ran touched the sides of his arms in disgust, "It makes my skin crawl."

However, Han Yicheng seemed to be very persistent in raising cats. He stretched out a hand and gently scratched the little milk cat's chin.

"Look, it seems to like me very much."

"Oh, but I don't like it very much. Can you go away? I want to go back and see that golden retriever. The little husky next to it is also very cute..."

In this way, neither of the two people would give in, and the conflict escalated from mutual persuasion at the beginning to a quarrel.

"Do you have to compete with me? We've already gone to several stores? You think this one is too expensive and that one is too noisy. You can't do this or that. I think you just want to keep a cat!"

"I'm reasoning with you. Cats are more suitable for our current situation. Dogs always need to be walked. Our apartment is not big, which is very inconvenient."

Li Ran walked quickly in front, trying to get rid of Han Yicheng who was chasing after him: "So many people in our community raise dogs, how can everyone raise them?"

Han Yicheng has long legs and big strides. No matter how fast Li Ran speeds up, he still can't get rid of him: "Just because they have a dog doesn't mean the dog's environment is good. The dogs you want to raise are all that big. Can you be comfortable in the house?"

Li Ran stopped abruptly, Han Yicheng was caught off guard and bumped into his back, Li Ran turned his head and met Han Yicheng's gaze.The two looked at each other tensely for a while, and Li Ran said: "Anyway, you promised Qi Xin to keep a pet next week, if you dare to bring a cat back, we will have big problems."

After finishing speaking, Li Ran viciously made a gesture of wiping Han Yicheng's neck.

Li Ran originally thought that Han Yicheng would compromise in this way, and obediently brought him back a big dog. However, when he happily picked up Qi Xin on a small motorcycle, he found a basin suddenly placed on the table, with a dog in it. The little turtle is swimming happily.

Li Ran instantly felt that his anger value was about to break through the sky, and he lowered his head in silence. Seeing the tortoise's blinking eyes like mung beans, he felt extremely cunning and hateful.

He wished he could send the tortoise directly to the restaurant to make soup.

Just as Li Ran was about to have an attack, he heard Qi Xin twitch twice, and ran back into the room crying, and locked the door behind him forcefully.

"If there were no minors at home today, I would directly beat you to death." Li Ran didn't bother to use his voice to scare Han Yicheng anymore, he raised Erlang's legs and rolled his eyes. What do you mean? Qi Xin was already in a bad mood, but now you have made things worse, what do you think should I do now?"

Li Ran wanted to continue scolding, but suddenly he heard a whimper belonging to the puppy under the coffee table, he shut his mouth all of a sudden, and looked at Han Yicheng in disbelief.

"what?"

Han Yicheng took out a box from the bottom, and held it in front of Li Ran like offering a treasure: "You open it."

There was another sob from inside the box, louder than the one just now, and this voice called out Qi Xin who was so disappointed and aggrieved in the room, she looked at the box with tears in her eyes, hesitated and dared not go forward .

"Can we open it together?" Qi Xin asked Li Ran expectantly.

"You open it for me. I'm afraid I'm unlucky. First, let's see if this friend looks good."

Qi Xin nodded vigorously, her fingers were trembling slightly, she only lifted the lid of the box and took a look, then covered her mouth excitedly: "It's so cute! It's so cute! This is the cutest dog I've ever seen!"

"What is it? Hurry up and show me!" Li Ran was also very curious by her.

Qi Xin touched the soft little thing in the box with her finger, not knowing what to do with it, she looked at Han Yicheng as if asking for help.

"Hold its chest with your left hand, and its...butt with your right hand, just be careful."

Under Han Yicheng's guidance, Qi Xin tried several times, and finally got the little milk dog out. She hugged the puppy excitedly and approached Li Ran and asked him, "Look! Isn't it very, very, very cute!"

Li Ran couldn't say enough with a smile: "It's... quite cute."

This is a little Shar Pei, with several layers of soft skin piled up on its face, and its expression looks wronged and sad, probably ugly and cute.Li Ran secretly pinched Han Yicheng's thigh, and said with a dry smile, "Haha, this little thing looks quite unique."

The little Shar-Pei dog barked weakly as if it understood Li Ran's words, and then struggled to get out of Qi Xin's hands.Qi Xin was afraid that it would make it uncomfortable, so she hurriedly put the puppy on the ground, but unexpectedly, the puppy sniffed left and right, took the initiative to grab Li Ran's trousers, and awkwardly tried to climb up along his trousers.

"It wants to go up! Hurry up and hug it to your lap!" Qi Xin urged Li Ran eagerly.

Li Ran picked up this warm, fragrant and soft little creature with both hands, and carefully placed it on his lap. The little milk dog probably felt that Li Ran's thigh was very comfortable, so he pawed it with four short, thick and sturdy paws. After a few snorts, he even lay down on Li Ran's lap and started snoring.

"It's really... quite cute." Li Ran glanced at Han Yicheng, and found that the other party was also looking at him. Li Ran suddenly felt a little guilty for his previous irascibility, so he poked the puppy's stomach with his finger, causing the puppy to change. lying on his lap.

"Which store did you buy this from? Why didn't I see it before?"

"I found it from the shelter."

"Didn't you want to raise a cat before, how did you bring it back?"

Han Yicheng also stretched out his hand to Li Ran's lap. The little sharpie was probably the most familiar with his smell, so he hugged Han Yicheng's finger and licked it with his little tongue.

"I checked the information. Shar Pei doesn't like to move. It likes to sleep on its stomach. It's very suitable for keeping in an apartment."

As if responding to Han Yicheng's words, the little sharpie whimpered again, rolled over on Li Ran's lap coquettishly, opened a pair of big sad eyes and blinked twice.

Hearing what Han Yicheng said, Li Ran felt that he lost his temper two days ago, which was a bit unreasonable. He saw that the clown dog became more and more fond of it, and finally picked it up and kissed it lightly.

"Then what's the matter with that little bastard? How can you buy one get one free when you adopt a pet?"

"I bought it for Qi Xin. She can take the tortoise back to the bar and raise it. Just change the water every two or three days."

"Bring it back to my dad?" Qi Xin was even happier when she heard the news. She stood up and ran to the water basin on the table, and touched the shell on the back of the turtle with her finger, causing the little turtle to shrink back. .

"Well, I called your dad. We need to be responsible for keeping pets. You help us take care of the little turtle, and we help you take care of the dog."

Qi Xin lowered her head cheerfully, and said to the tortoise decently: "Master, did you hear that, Master, I will take good care of you, and you can practice here with peace of mind."

It's over, Li Ran muttered silently in his heart, two pets came at once, it's silly to make this child happy,

Qi Xinnian babbled for a long time, then suddenly remembered something and asked Li Ran, "Brother Aran? The puppy doesn't have a name yet. You can give the puppy a name."

"Name..." Li Ran saw Han Yicheng "smiling and touching the dog's head" on his lap with a kind face, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "You see it looks ugly and cute, how about calling it 'Ugly Son'? "

Qi Xin curled her lips: "What, it sounds so disappointing, why don't you think about another one?"

Li Ran held Xiao Shapi up to his eyes and looked at it, and asked very seriously: "Do you want to be my 'ugly son'? If you don't want to be, please keep quiet. If you want to be, just call out loudly to Dad." .”

"Wang!"
