Meow!

Xie Taoer and He Ran looked at Hua Helie, who was sitting on the coffee table, who had turned into a human form, with their arms folded around their chests, expressionless.

"People say that raising a pet is like raising a son, so I just raised a son." He Ran said while dangling in front of Hua while holding Xie Taoyou's cat teasing stick.

"Stop! Meow! Don't run! Meow!" Hua still kept squatting, his head followed the cat teaser, and his right hand kept trying to catch the cat teaser running all over the sky.

"Daughter-in-law." Lie helplessly grabbed Hua's right hand, and stared at He Ran.

He Ran flicked the cat-teasing stick, but finally put it down obediently.

Xie Taoyou quietly watched He Ran's every move, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Okay. Have you finished asking? Now that we've said it, don't worry about what we're going to do in the future..." Lie raised his hand to stop Xie Taoru who was about to speak, and continued: "Don't worry, we won't harm you, on the contrary, we will be responsible for protecting you."

Xie Taoyou sat up straight and looked at Lie calmly, and asked, "Who is attacking us this time? A demon?"

"Zhen, a 3000-year-old wolf dog demon." Lie said forcefully suppressing Hua who was struggling non-stop, and put his head on the socket of his shoulder.

Hua's ears were itchy because of the heat from Lie's words, and he kept shrinking his neck.

"Don't move", Lie squeezed Hua's waist, leaned into Hua's ear and whispered: "There is a reaction, you are responsible for putting out the fire."

On the contrary, Hua struggled more violently, the cat's claw popped out, and gave Lie a paw back.

Lie fell back instantly, and when he stabilized his body, Hua had already gone upstairs angrily.

"Daughter-in-law~ don't be so emotionally ignorant!" Lie quickly got up and followed.

"..."

"..."

Xie Taoer and He Ran just sat on the sofa and were innocently fed a big mouthful of cat food.

Especially Xie Taoer, he used to laugh at Lie for not being able to handle his wife, but now—

The wind is turning!

The two were silent for a while, and He Ran first broke the quiet atmosphere.

"But why did that dog demon attack us?"

Xie Taoru looked at the profile of He Ran who was lost in thought, and also began to search his own memory.

……

"Could it be..."

"what happened?"

Xie Taoyou gently tapped the sofa with his right index finger, and said his guess: "The year before last, a business partner gave me a wolfhound, but I don't like dogs very much, so I gave it to a veterinarian. Friend. Could it be the wolfhound?"

"..."

He Ran was speechless for a while after listening to Xie Taoyou's explanation, he thought for a while, and then nodded.

"It seems that this is the only possibility."

The sudden sound of the door opening interrupted their conversation.The Lius and Yue returned.

"Xiao Ran."

"Hello, Miss Liu."

"Hello, it's so late, what's the matter?"

"Ah? This...it's nothing serious, it's just..."

"Mum, someone took revenge on me this afternoon, but I was implicated."

"You're not injured!" Liu Er looked at Xie Taoyou and He Ran in turn, turned to look at Xie Tao, and said seriously: "Tao."

"I see." Xie Tao responded, while looking at Yue beside him.

Yue nodded slightly.

"So, Mommy, I want Ran to live at home first." Xie Taoyou turned his head to look at the slightly stunned He Ran, and asked, "Ran, what do you mean?"

"Ah? I..." He Ran looked at the serious Xie family, and finally nodded.

Because it was getting late, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Xie Taoyou was lying on the bed, thinking about what happened across the wall.

(Sooner or later, I will abduct you!)

Standing on the balcony of the cat room, Hua stood in Lie's arms with a look of lovelessness.

"Have you hugged enough?" Hua elbowed the giant cat skin plaster on his body.

"Wait a while~" Lie gently rubbed the top of Hua Hua's head with his chin.

In this way, the two cats hugged each other, bathed in the moonlight.

……

A paper butterfly shining white, from far to near, landed between Hua's hands on the railing.

"Huh? Mingyao?" Lie leaned in front of Hua, looking at the white paper butterfly that was still flapping its wings slowly.

"Drink?" Lie raised his eyebrows, and then suddenly realized.

"Let's go, daughter-in-law, go drink!" Lie patted Hua's buttocks and said.

"Irregular!"

Lie Hehua came to the sky above the outskirts of City H, and sure enough, he saw Ming Yao sitting on the enlarged version of the ink pen drinking.

"Here we come!" Ming Yao raised the flagon to the two of them, "A fine wine from the Ming and Qing sects."

"Googoo~ ah~ it's delicious!" Lie took the flagon without any politeness and drank it in a big gulp.

Compared with the bold and unrestrained Lie, Hua looks much more modest.He took a sip and tasted it in his mouth, his eyes lit up instantly, he nodded, and took another sip.

The three of them just sat on the ink pens, intoxicated by the aroma of wine.

When Lie finished drinking, he took the jug and put his hand on Mingyao's shoulder.

"Be careful of getting drunk! I'm not responsible for sending you back."

Ming Yao raised his head and took another sip, and said, "I'm a top Taoist priest, how could I not be able to digest alcohol? I won't get drunk, I won't... 咕~"

Ming Yao muttered, then drank again sullenly.

"Ming Yao, don't..."

"He's getting married...on the eleventh day. Hehe." Ming Yao shook his head and forced a few laughs.

Lie looked at Ming Yao who was drinking again by himself, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Drink. If you have wine today, you will be drunk today! Do it!"

Lie touched the flagon with Mingyao.

……

"Hululu~um~meow..."

Lie gently embraced the sleeping Hua, knowing that he was overwhelmed with alcohol, after all, all the wine of the Ming and Qing sects was made from Lingzhi.

"Um~ah! Go back. I should go back to the door and have a look."

Ming Yao looked at Lie holding Hua tenderly, stretched his waist, and said.

Lie looked at Ming Yao, who had clear eyes, and saw that he had turned back into the calm and glamorous disciple of the Ming and Qing sect in the eyes of the world, and finally nodded at him, hugged Hua, and flew away.

Ming Yao watched Lie's figure gradually melt into the night, and then tapped the ink pen.

"Go back." The voice was as soft as a mosquito moaning.

Yang Wei knelt beside the bed, gently treating the wound on Zhen's arm.

"Enough! Get out!"

Zhen waved Yang Wei away impatiently, turned over, and ignored Yang Wei who fell to the ground.

"...Then I'm going out, you have a good rest." Yang Wei lowered his head to sort out his mood, then raised his head and said with a smile.

After speaking, Yang Wei took the medicine box and walked out.

After hearing the sound of the door closing, Zhen opened his eyes to look at the closed door, and finally closed his eyes.

Yang Wei washed his hands clean, put his hands on the edge of the sink, looked at himself in the mirror, his expression gradually darkened.

Early in the morning, everyone in Xie's house woke up, except for the two cats who had been drinking all night.

After breakfast, Xie's couple and Yue went to work. Due to yesterday's unhappiness, Xie Taoer and He Ran decided to take a lazy day.

However, after watching TV in silence for more than two hours, the two finally decided to go out to refit He Ran's glasses.

……

"How about this?" He Ran put on his glasses and asked.

"can."

"Hmm, please help me get that out."

"To you."

"How is this?"

"Yes. However, I personally prefer the first one."

"That's it."

He Ran held two frames and compared them for a while, then put down the one he took.

"That's all. Thanks."

"OK, just a second."

After going through a series of procedures such as visual acuity test, adaptation degree, lens selection, and frame selection, Xie Taoer and He Ran walked out of the optical shop.

"I'm a little thirsty." Xie Taoyou looked at He Ran who just licked his lips and said.

"Exactly, me too, let's go buy water."

After buying water, the two walked and chatted on the street.

"Meow~"

Suddenly a soft cat meow caught the attention of both of them.

It turned out to be a skinny little milk cat lying beside the garbage dump.

"Little cat." He Ran went over and wanted to hug it.

"Don't." Xie Taoru stopped He Ran, "I don't know if it is injured, it would be bad if it scratches you."

After Xie Taoru finished speaking, he squatted next to the kitten, looked at the kitten, and put his hand on the top left of its head.

The kitten continued to cry weakly, obviously a little scared of Xie Taoru, but there was no sign of fleeing.

Seeing this, Xie Taoyou carefully lifted the kitten up.

"Let's go, I remember there is a stray cat and dog rescue center near here."

So the two went to the rescue center.

……

"Okay, it's okay, it will be fine. Thank you both for your love."

"No, it should be thank you."

He Ran looked at the kitten sleeping soundly in the incubator, and smiled slightly.

"You two can go and see the adopted cats and dogs. If you have the conditions, you can consider it."

"it is good."

The two came to the adoption station, and under the guidance of the staff, they helped take care of the disabled cats and dogs.

"Hold it like this." Xie Taoru adjusted He Ran's hand holding the cat.

"Eh? Okay. You know a lot." He Ran said with a smile. (I can feel the calluses on his hands again. But, how can he have calluses as a young master?)

"Because Mr. Xie often comes here to help."

The staff's answer brought He Ran back to his senses. He looked at Xie Taoyou who was holding the kitten tenderly and feeding it with a little surprise, and his smile deepened.

"After that, if Mr. Xie comes, remember to call me."

"Okay," Xie Taoyou gently put down the kitten, "Just call me by my name."

"Then please teach me more, Xie Taoer."

"Ah."

When the two walked out of the rescue center, it was almost noon, so the two decided to have lunch first.

"The origin of the calluses on my hands, you will understand after I take you to a place after eating."

"Huh? Good, good."

He Ran didn't expect Xie Taoru to notice his small actions.

(Really careful.)

……

"arrive."

The car was parked on a very quiet old street.

He Ran got out of the car and looked up at the signboard that said "Xie Taoer Fashion Design Studio".Afterwards, he followed Xie Taoyou into this unremarkable studio.

"Yo! Boss!"

"boss."

"Hi boss!"

The room is small, but there are many things, a large table full of various manuscripts, a sewing machine, a lot of fabric accessories in the corner, and several casual men's clothes that have been formed.Two men and one woman are working, when they saw Xie Taoer and He Ran come in, they greeted each other warmly.

"Excuse me, I'm He Ran, Xie Tao'er's friend."

"Hi, I'm Zhang Zhou, that ugly man is Qi Chu, and the ugly girl next to him is Han Yan." Said the young man who was the first to say hello.

"Zhang Zhou!" Han Yan raised her fist.

Xie Taoyuan completely ignored the noisy two people, and said to He Ran: "They are my college classmates. We started this studio together after graduating from university, and then started a business while studying for a master's degree or a Ph.D. Now this studio belongs to Xie."

"So it is."

He Ran nodded clearly, and the calluses on Xie Tao'er's hands could be explained.

He Ran looked at this small room, then at the expressionless Xie Taoer, and imagined a serious Xie Taoer, holding a needle and thread, sitting on a chair, bowing his waist, threading the needle seriously, I feel that Xie Tao'er's image has suddenly softened a lot.

He Ran's dimples deepened.
