Baizhou

Why is there a single puppy here?Bai Zhou was surprised, then smiled and shook his hand at the little Shiba Inu.

The little Shiba Inu is chubby, with thick and soft fur on its body, two small ears that have not yet stood up, drooping limply, and a pair of round eyes that are particularly bright.

Bai Zhou bent down and tapped on the glass: "Why did you place an order?"

After she asked, she wiped away more water vapor with her hands, looked carefully, and found that the little Shiba Inu was surrounded by a high fence in this corner. The fence was blue and opaque, and the customers in the store could not If you walked over deliberately, you would not find that there was a puppy here.

"It's so pitiful." Bai Zhou sympathized with it. The other dogs were played with others, but it was alone in a corner.

After buying the flowers, Sang Yang came over, stood beside Bai Zhou, looked at the puppy with her for a while, and said slowly, "It's so cute."

Bai Zhou nodded: "Yes."

"It looks like our small boat." Sang Yang said again slowly.

Bai Zhou froze for a moment, frowned, and said with a puffy face, "What a resemblance!"

"It's very similar everywhere." Sang Yang smiled, with soft eyes, "the smile is very similar, silly, and the eyes are also very similar, with a very clean light, and the little furry head is also similar."

She was still counting, Bai Zhou was unconvinced, and straightened up to go. The little Shiba Inu stood up, with both front paws resting on the glass, but it was too small and had no strength, and soon its paws fell to the ground. It whined and looked at Bai Zhou.

Bai Zhou's heart softened and he couldn't bear to leave.

One person and one dog just looked at each other like this.

"Is it okay to give you a puppy as a New Year's gift?" Sang Yang said suddenly.

Bai Zhou's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Is it okay?"

They never talked about wanting pets, and Bai Zhou always thought that Sang Yang didn't like pets.

"Of course." Sang Yang said as he bent down and lit some glass. The little Shiba Inu happily chased its tail around in circles. It was a very lively puppy.

In the Shiba Inu-themed coffee shop, there must be a reason for isolating a little milk dog that can make customers feel compassionate.

Sang Yang took Bai Zhou in and asked the clerk, and learned that this little Shiba Inu was new to the store half a month ago, but the aborigines in the store were very xenophobic and did not welcome this puppy, and they always ganged up to bully it , the store manager had no choice but to isolate it first, and is now negotiating with the pet store to return it.

The appearance of Bai Zhou and Sang Yang just solved their difficulties.

Just like that, they left the coffee shop with a little milk dog.

Of course, it's not easy to go to a dinner party with a new puppy.

They went home and stopped by a pet supply store on the way to buy everything the Shiba Inu needed.

When I got home, it was snowing, the dark blue sky was pressing down in the dark, and under the dim light of the street lamps, snowflakes were falling profusely.

"It's so cold." Bai Zhou hugged the little Shiba Inu, and shivered as soon as he got out of the car, his breath condensed into white mist in the air.

Sang Yang was calling Jiang Yuan to say that he would not go to the dinner party, while half of his attention was on Bai Zhou.

Bai Zhou ran to Sang Yang's side, and heard Jiang Yuan yelling on the phone: "Why didn't you come all of a sudden, it's so embarrassing!"

She smiled and moved to the side of the phone: "Are you angry?"

The two of them were always at odds, and they had been bickering a lot since they first met, and now, six or seven years later, they still bicker from time to time.

"I'm not angry, why am I angry with a child who can't live without her sister." Jiang Yuan's voice came coldly, very disdainful.

Seeing that Bai Zhou couldn't get angry with her, he let her bury her, and was about to fight back immediately. Sang Yang opened his mouth and said to Jiang Yuan on the phone: "Don't keep teasing her."

Seeing Sang Yang standing by her side, Bai Zhou felt complacent, and Jiang Yuan smiled: "You just get used to her, someday..." Someone called Jiang Yuan's name over there, probably because everyone was ready to serve Yes, Jiang Yuan stopped and didn't say any more, said something about making an appointment next time, then hung up.

"Hmph, if you know how to quarrel with me, she must dislike me." Bai Zhou muttered dissatisfied.

They just walked to the door of the house, and Sang Yang opened the door.

"When I see her next time, I want to..." Bai Zhou stopped before he finished speaking. Sang Yang pinched her earlobe and interrupted her: "It's all red from the cold."

Immediately, Bai Zhou couldn't care less about getting angry with Jiang Yuan, she looked at Sang Yang pitifully: "The face is so cold, it must be red from the cold."

They stood at the entrance without taking off their coats and scarves.

Sang Yang put his hands on Bai Zhou's face to warm her up. The warmth of his palms quickly warmed his icy cheeks. Bai Zhou looked at Sang Yang, and couldn't help leaning over, wanting to kiss her.

"Woof." The little Shiba Inu barked, breaking the silence.

They looked down, and the puppy was also looking up at them in Bai Zhou's arms.

Bai Zhou and Sang Yang were taken aback for a moment, then looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile again.

"The puppy must be familiar with the house, and its nest must be built." Sang Yang said.

Bai Zhou nodded again and again, raising a pet is not an easy task, and he has to settle down quickly.

They put the puppy on the ground and let it explore the new home on its own, then went to the car to unload everything.

The pet supplies were piled up like a hill, Bai Zhou and Sang Yang worked together to take out the things one by one and put them in the house.

The puppy's nest, food bowl, dog food, canned food, snacks, its various toys, knotted bones, jelly balls, missing food toys, and frisbees are all placed in corresponding positions.

The little Shiba Inu was a little afraid of this strange new home, but the puppy's natural curiosity soon overcame its timidity. It walked with short legs and looked around curiously.

"Puppy." Bai Zhou barked.

The little Shiba Inu was exploring the corner next to the stairs, as if startled by her sudden voice, she turned her head to look at the source of the sound.

Bai Zhou threw an orange ball.

The puppy didn't know how to catch the ball yet, so he let the ball hit his small forehead in a daze. His head was hit backward by the force of the ball, and he was stunned, looking up at Bai Zhou foolishly.

"So stupid, I can't even catch the ball." Bai Zhou sighed and shook his head.

"You have to teach it." Sang Yang sat down and was a little tired after walking around for a day. She leaned half on the handrail, propped her face with one hand and watched Bai Zhou pick up the ball and throw it several times. The dog is no longer standing still, but it doesn't know how to catch the ball, it just runs after the ball excitedly.

Bai Zhou commanded rather resentfully: "I'm not asking you to run after the ball, but to pick it up and give it to me."

How could the little Shiba Inu understand what she meant, and he happily chased the ball to play.

Sang Yang's eyes unconsciously filled with a smile.

Tired of playing with the puppy, Bai Zhou ran to sit next to Sang Yang, and leaned on Sang Yang's body naturally.Sang Yang sat up straight and rubbed her soft hair. Bai Zhou laughed, lowered his head, and gently rubbed his head against Sang Yang's neck like a big dog.

Her soft hair was like a dandelion, and it was a little itchy when rubbed against it.

Sang Yang threw her head back and hid, but Bai Zhou took advantage of the situation and threw her down on the sofa.

"Go take a bath." Sang Yang urged with a smile, Bai Zhou had just played with the puppy, and some dog hair was stained on his clothes.

Bai Zhou didn't say anything, just hugged her.

"If you don't take a bath, you're a dirty child." Sang Yang said softly, as if disgusted, but put his arms around Bai Zhou, and got closer to her.

Bai Zhou bent his lips and said stubbornly: "If you become a dirty child, you have to hug your sister."

Sang Yang didn't speak anymore.

The snow outside is getting bigger and bigger, the French windows on the left have no curtains, and the snowflakes are quietly falling under the street lamps in the yard in the thick night outside on the white glass.

Sang Yang's breath was shallow, right next to her ear, and Bai Zhou closed his eyes.

After a while, she thought of something and asked, "Why did I suddenly send a puppy?"

They have no plans to keep pets, and Sang Yang is a very organized and planning person, so suddenly meeting a puppy on the street and taking it home is really not something she would do.

"Because you like it, I want it to accompany you when I'm not around." Sang Yang said slowly, she worked too much overtime, and she was always worried that Xiaozhou would be bored at home alone. With a smile, "Also, it really looks like you, especially the 16-year-old Xiao Baizhou."

Bai Zhou didn't think there was anything wrong when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he suddenly blew up: "No way! It looks silly."

"Well, the 16-year-old Xiao Baizhou is also silly and cute. Do you remember that once I was very busy and rushed to a class, and you walked behind me with a drawing board on your back, and I didn't care about it?" I want you, and then when I entered the teaching building, you called my sister, and when I turned around, I saw you looking at me with aggrieved and pitiful expressions, and that expression was really similar to that of a Shiba Inu."

"I don't remember!" Bai Zhou said angrily.

The child is angry.Sang Yang kissed the top of her hair to coax her, and Bai Zhou finally calmed down, but he was still a little frustrated: "I think it's so unfair."

Sang Yang listened attentively.

"You've seen me when I was 16, but I don't know what you're like when you're 16."

Sang Yang was surprised, and then chuckled: "I was quite boring when I was 16. I just went to school and studied every day. The only goal was to get into a good university. It should be the most boring kind of student life."

There was a lot of meaning in her words that was very boring and didn't need to be understood.

Bai Zhou became unhappy and began to pester: "I don't care, it's boring and I want to know too. So many people have seen you when you were 16 years old, your teacher, your classmates, and many others you passed by Strangers have seen it, only I haven't."

"I want to know what color clothes you like, what kind of music you listen to, who is your tablemate, who is the best relationship with, and why you laugh when you are self-willed." Bai Zhou said in one breath, She looked very serious.

It seems that you really want to know.

Sang Yang was both helpless and funny, but she didn't regard this as a child's waywardness. She said, "Well, let me recall it."

Bai Zhou immediately calmed down, looking at Sang Yang's quietly thinking face.

Sang Yang began to speak slowly: "I go to No. [-] Middle School, Class No. [-], Class No. [-], the classroom is the one on the third floor of the new teaching building near the east stairs, and there is a boy at the same table, tall and thin, who likes to fight. Basketball. At that time, school uniforms were required. Our school uniforms were white with blue collars. host……"

She told them one by one, and Bai Zhou's eyes gradually softened when he heard her soft voice.

Her thoughts went back to that year, when Sang Yang was 16 years old, and she was [-] years old, and she went to elementary school, which was half a city away from No. [-] Middle School.

So far away, it is difficult for them to have the opportunity to contact.

But every Saturday, she goes to a place to learn painting, which is less than 1000 meters away from No. [-] Middle School.

Perhaps one day, when the sun was just right, she came out of the studio, and in the shade of the dense trees at the door of the studio, like thousands of people in the world, she passed by Sang Yang, who was still a girl at that time.

So at the age of nine, they had their first contact, the first entanglement of fate.Until seven years later, she was 16 years old and Sang Yang was 23 years old. In a small auditorium, they had their first eye contact, the first dialogue, the first tacit understanding of each other and a smile, and the first inadvertent love. touch.

Bai Zhou raised his head and stared at Sang Yang, with her gentle face, smiling eyes, and a soft voice that followed her heart.

Bai Zhou leaned over and kissed her lips.

Sang Yang was caught off guard, her slender and thick eyelashes trembled, and she slowly closed her pupils.

It was a good day, a perfect day, cuddling in the morning, going to the mall to buy each other gifts for the New Year, bringing home a puppy, and kissing in the evening at the end of the day.She can't remember the cold of winter at all, only Sang Yang's warm body temperature and her smiling eyes are left in her memory.

But such a beautiful day is such an ordinary day in the long time they spend together, because they spend every day like that, and falling in love is as natural to them as breathing.

------------------------------

Pea ran up the steps, turned her head and gave a cry.

When the destination arrived, Bai Zhou's memories were also interrupted.

"Don't worry." Bai Zhou said with a smile, and slowly stepped up the steps.

The little daisies on both sides of the steps are blooming, and the autumn is also brilliant.

Bai Zhou walked slowly with the flowers in his arms, one step after another.

Finally she stopped at a grave.

"It's a little early today." Bai Zhou put the flowers in front of the tomb. There was already a bunch of flowers there, which were still fresh. Bai Zhou put them here yesterday.

In the photo on the tombstone, Sang Yang looked at Bai Zhou tenderly with a smile.

Bai Zhou also looked at her for a while, and reached out to touch the face engraved on the apex of his heart in the photo.

The tombstone was extremely cold, and there was no body temperature that made her rely on indulging.Bai Zhou lowered his hands, and then tried his best to put on a smile: "It's all Pea's fault for waking me up so early. When I opened my eyes, I could only think about you."

Sang Yang in the photo stared at her with a smile, without any response.

Bai Zhou's smile disappeared, and hopeless and swollen thoughts filled her heart. She lowered her head weakly, and said the thoughts that could never be answered: "Sister, I miss you so much."

When she met Sang Yang, she was 16 years old, and now she is 26 years old, and she has spent three springs and autumns alone.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of Sang Yang's death. It has been three years since she left her.
