mad dog and loyal dog

Xia Ming took the instant noodles, and suddenly felt a little warmth in his heart. It felt like the little joy when the headmaster touched his head and then secretly gave him a few candies when he was a child. "Thank you." Xia Ming was not polite, and started to eat the instant noodles. It was his favorite seafood flavor. Zhang Ting liked to buy instant noodles with this flavor for him before. "So didn't you say that you went back to your hometown to raise your baby? Why did you come out to rent a house by yourself." Xia Ming was really curious, "The environment here is too bad, and it will be even more inconvenient if the belly gets bigger in a few months." Seriously Xia Ming was a little angry, "It's all like this, you still have to give birth!"

"I'm fine, I still have some savings." Miss Xiao Rong smiled, "And I haven't lost my job yet, I just want to save money on where I live, it's okay." She avoided talking about how she lied to Xia Ming She didn't want to mention the matter of going back to her hometown to have a baby.

Xia Ming snatched Miss Xiao Rong's cell phone and wanted to transfer back the extra money she had given him before, and Sister Xiao Rong also saw her intentions and hurriedly snatched the phone back. "You just think that I put the money with you first, and use it later if you can use it!" Sister Xiaorong refused to give him the account number for transferring the money, and said that even if Xia Ming transferred it back to her, she would not accept it. . "You don't even know how much I worry about you. You see, you also had a fight with Zhang Ting, so you have nowhere to go. You gave Zhang Ting all your money before, but now you don't save anything. I don't give you much, just like that A little bit, you save it for a rainy day.”

Xia Ming couldn't resist her, so he nodded first in agreement.Seeing that she didn't want to talk about herself, she didn't ask any more questions, "I'll help you rent a better house, it really doesn't work here." Xia Ming was only dissatisfied with this point, "You don't tell me anything It's okay, but I don't want you to live in this kind of place." He was too young, and he never lived in such a place when he was the poorest with Zhang Ting.

"But... it's cheap here." Miss Xiaorong was quite embarrassed, "There's actually nothing in this place during the day, but at night—"

"I'll find you a house tomorrow, don't talk about it." Xia Ming didn't want any accidents for her. Sister Xiao Rong was one of the few people he could talk to, like a real sister.All she gave Xia Ming was the warmth of family affection, and it was not fake to worry about him, and she never coveted anything.

Miss Xiao Rong is considered the first batch of customers in Zhang Ting's bar. She has known Xia Ming for a long time, since he was seventeen or eighteen years old.It can be regarded as watching Xia Ming grow up little by little, from her marriage to divorce, and now to this trouble, Xia Ming is the witness of the whole process.She has a little money, otherwise she wouldn't often go to the bar to buy wine from Xia Ming.Her favorite thing is to have a drink after get off work, and make snacks on weekends.

She didn't want Xia Ming to see her getting worse little by little, she didn't want Xia Ming who had witnessed her marriage process to see her fall to this point again.She probably didn't understand why she wanted to give birth to the child to take care of herself. She didn't dare to go home. She was born in an extremely patriarchal family, so it would be useless even if she went back. Not only would she end up being ridiculed, Still can't get the warmth and care I want. "Okay, rent a better house." Ms. Rong agreed, "But I will use my money, not yours."

"Okay." Xia Ming had already eaten a whole bowl of instant noodles, "Then I'll start looking for a house for you tomorrow, and try to find it within this week." He wiped his mouth with a paper towel, feeling that it was a bit out of place here. Uncomfortable sitting.

"Are you going back to find Zhang Ting?" Miss Xiaorong asked.

Xia Ming thought for a while, then shook his head.He didn't really want to find Zhang Ting, but Zhang Ting's suspicion of him had become a hurdle he couldn't get past.Xia Ming couldn't find anyone to tell what was in his heart, so he happened to meet Miss Xiao Rong. He accidentally opened his mouth, and said everything about Zhang Ting's crimes.

After talking for half an hour, Miss Xiaorong didn't even interrupt him, and just quietly listened to him.After Xia Ming finished speaking, she frowned, "Then he is really not kind, how could he doubt you?" It's just treating Xia Ming's sincerity like a dog barking.

Xia Ming realized that he had spoken in too much detail, almost pouring out all his thoughts.He was somewhat embarrassed, but when he said it, he felt less aggrieved and much more refreshed.

"I don't think you should go back at all. Didn't he get nervous when he saw you disappear? You should disappear for a few more days to see how he reacts." Sister Xiaorong suggested, "You are just too submissive to him. How to do it."

"But even if I disappear, he still has a way to find me back." Xia Ming said, "He has a lot of people under him, and he can find my whereabouts wherever I go." This is also an annoying thing for Xia Ming, It seems that even if he goes to the ends of the earth, Zhang Ting will not let him go.

Miss Xiao Rong was silent for a long time before asking, "Then you still like him?"

"Do not want to."

"Then go back, don't love him a little every day, don't make yourself sad and hurt." She raised her hand and touched the collar with Zhang Ting's initials engraved on Xia Ming's neck, "If you don't want to, don't love him, take off the collar Bar."

Why is it always so sad to like this thing.

Then don't love a little bit every day.

Zhang Ting did not fall asleep in bed, he had only slept with Xia Ming for a few nights, and he was not used to the giant teddy bear that had been with him for many years.I don't know where Xia Ming has gone and what time will he come back. Zhang Ting deliberately doesn't let himself think about him too much, and finds something for himself to do. In the afternoon, he got up from the bed and made appointments with a few younger brothers. Went to see a movie together.It's just that he thought the movie was boring, so he left the movie theater after watching half of it.

Sitting idle in the milk tea shop below the cinema, watching the scenery with a cigarette in his mouth, he actually didn't see anything.His head was full of Xia Ming's face of being so wronged after he said it yesterday that he doubted Xia Ming.Zhang Ting still felt that he was not wrong. Even if he doubted Xia Ming, then Xia Ming just had to explain it clearly to him and it would be over. It's not that he didn't believe him, so why was he so wronged.Not so much.

Zhang Ting didn't smoke a cigarette, when suddenly a man stood in front of him, looked up, it was the policeman from his area, who had locked Zhang Ting in several times.Of course Zhang Ting recognized him, "What's the matter?"

"The people under your command have not been very obedient recently." He lit the cigarette Zhang Ting was holding in his mouth, "You should also take care of it, and don't cause us so much trouble."

"I don't know who caused the trouble." Zhang Ting replied truthfully, "I have been a good citizen these years, so don't slander me." Zhang Ting took a puff of cigarette and put it out, "Whoever is disobedient, You tell me to listen?"

"Qiu Sheng." The police officer gave him a name, "Didn't he hang around with you all the time before? I don't know what kind of relationship you have, but let me remind you that your subordinates have begun to betray. And he recently Time has been flaunting your name, and you'd better watch."

"...Why did you tell me?" Zhang Ting frowned, but he felt that he and the policeman had a sworn hatred.It is best that the river water does not interfere with the well water, and never meets each other.But now reminding him that the person in his hands has betrayed him, and it turned out to be a policeman who had arrested him.

"Because they haven't committed any major crimes, they will be locked up for a few days after they are caught, so it's better to let you take care of them." The police officer said to him, "Let's go." He patted Zhang Ting on the shoulder, "Don't make trouble .”

Zhang Ting was not very happy, but he gave himself the name 'Qiu Sheng', so he had some clues.Qiu Sheng is Xia Ming's puppy, he will go wherever Xia Ming goes.So Zhang Ting thought he was annoying, so he drove them away half a year ago. Qiu Sheng always likes to form a small group behind him. Just left, Zhang Ting didn't care about anything.

The people under him started to rebel, and they were still puppies who had followed Xia Ming.All these signs seemed to point the finger at Xia Ming, making Zhang Ting have to wonder if Xia Ming was betraying him.

Zhang Ting went to the bar at the east gate, and as soon as he entered, he saw Xia Ming learning how to make drinks with the bartender Pin Ge.Xia Ming looked very serious, as if he really liked doing this job.Zhang Ting walked over, "Where did you go last night?" He asked directly.

Xia Ming looked up at him, "You care?"

"You don't want to say it." Zhang Ting said indifferently, "I will accompany you to work today, and we will go back together in the evening."

"Oh, thank you for accompanying me." Xia Ming actually said that.

Brother Pin, the bartender standing aside, was very embarrassed. He felt that Xia Ming was so bold that he dared to talk to Zhang Ting like that.Moreover, Zhang Ting didn't look angry either, and stared at Xia Ming with his hands on his head.Then he shifted his gaze to Brother Pin, "You go somewhere else, I'll have a word with Xia Ming." Zhang Ting said.

Brother Pin immediately flicked away, he didn't want to get involved in their petty dispute.The atmosphere between Xia Ming and Zhang Ting was too strange, a bit like the embarrassment of a couple quarreling, but the distance between Xia Ming and Zhang Ting was like the most ordinary stranger. "Give me the cup you have prepared." Zhang Ting seemed to order.

Xia Ming handed him the wine he had mixed, "I'm new, but I can't do it well."

It's really not that good, just from the color point of view, it's a bit mixed.Zhang Ting took a sip, the taste was a bit spicy, he tapped the wall of the cup with his index finger, making a pleasant sound of 'ding ding'. "Xia Ming, have you been in touch with Qiu Sheng recently?"

Xia Ming was a little surprised why he would suddenly mention such a person, he shook his head, "I haven't seen him for a long time." He said truthfully.

"Can I trust you?" Zhang Ting asked him.

Xia Ming seemed to be stabbed by his rhetorical question, and he stopped what he was doing.Standing in front of Zhang Ting, he put his hands on the table, "I'd rather you beat me than ask me that." After a pause, he answered Zhang Ting's question, "Since you drove him away I haven't seen him since I left, and he didn't look for me. And me, believe me or not, it's up to you."
