fierce lawyer

"..." Jimeng said, "I'll go and have a look."

Liu Shicheng didn't make another sound.

Jimeng went closer to the house, and sure enough, he saw the old dog lying listlessly in his place.

Liu Shicheng paid great attention to this kennel. The inside was covered with thick cotton batting layer after layer, and covered with red sheets full of bone patterns.

Then... Ji Meng looked inside, and saw several plush toy dogs, big and small, scattered around, presumably bought to relieve his boredom.

Ji Meng took a closer look, the old dog was really listless and his eyes were cloudy.

Moreover, she has lost a lot of weight, and her body shape is clearly visible.

Seeing Ji Meng, the dog stood up.

It's just that there is no problem at all, walking should be barely enough, but running is definitely not enough.

In fact, it was just a matter of one or two months. Although Liu Shicheng always knew that the dog was getting old, there was no sign before that, it seemed that he had aged to this point all of a sudden.

This dog has lived for more than twenty years, which is considered a very long life.

Liu Shicheng stroked the old dog's fur: "In the past, people always advised me to interact with people more, but I never thought it was necessary. Sharing happiness, finding comfort, etc., my dog ​​can do it all, nothing It has to be human, on the contrary, my dog ​​will do better."

"..."

Ji Meng refused to accept.

If the target is ordinary people, just saying "animals can't talk" is enough.

But Liu Shicheng is not an ordinary person - because he doesn't speak much.

Ji Meng tried his best to prove that he was better than dogs in some aspects. After thinking for a long time, he finally said: "Dogs can't eat chocolate with you."

"...?"

"Isn't it right?"

"..."

"then I can."

"..."

Ji Meng was right about this.

Dogs really shouldn't be accompanied by chocolate because things like caffeine and theobromine can kill him.

As for Ji Meng, he has already personally proved this point, even though it made him feel very uncomfortable.

Liu Shicheng thought for a while: "That's right."

"..."

"But that's not important." Liu Shicheng said, "I hope I can stay with it forever."

Ji Meng looked at Liu Shicheng and didn't know what to say.

Over there, Liu Shicheng went on to say, "However, maybe this kind of life won't last for more than a year."

"You have done everything you can." Ji Meng touched the old dog, his voice was very low, and he didn't look at Liu Shicheng: "I don't have any regrets or remorse. Your dog is very happy and has lived longer than other dogs. Longer and get more affection than any other dog."

"...Mmm." After a pause, Liu Shicheng whispered "Thank you".

Liu Shicheng felt a little unbelievable.

She actually said so many things in her heart to Ji Meng.

He was not such a person.I don't know what happened today, but to Ji Meng, he opened his mouth unconsciously.

It should be because his dog likes Jimeng, Liu Shicheng thought.This guy doesn't know why, every time Ji Meng comes over, he is very clingy.Because of this reason, Ji Meng also knows the most about his dog.It must be because of this relationship that he told Ji Meng about his past with the dog.

Ji Meng took the dog out of the den and put it on his lap to hold him.

The dog still looked very useful, and made some very comfortable sounds from its throat.

Liu Shicheng felt that the old dog might be willing to do this, and actually hoped that Ji Meng could stay for a while.If it was changed before, Liu Shicheng would definitely feel very uncomfortable, and wanted Ji Meng to leave quickly.But this time something is different.My dog ​​likes Ji Meng, and...there may be less than a year left to live, Liu Shicheng wants to make him happy.

Ji Meng just teased the dog while talking to Liu Shicheng without saying a word.

Then, Ji Meng suddenly felt something was wrong.

The dog's butt sank suddenly.

—Looks like he wants to pee.

Ji Meng instinctively wanted to throw the dog aside.

However, Ji Meng resisted the urge immediately.He thought he couldn't do such a thing.Moreover, if this dog is really thrown aside, Liu Shicheng will definitely feel uncomfortable, and may even resent himself.Ji Meng neither wanted to make Liu Shicheng feel bad, nor did he want Liu Shicheng to resent him.

So he slowly picked up the dog and put it on the ground.

Then as expected, I saw that the pants near the knee were wet.

"..."

"...?"

Ji Meng looked at Liu Shicheng: "It..."

Liu Shicheng followed Ji Meng's line of sight: "...I'm sorry."

My dog ​​never does this.Over the years, nothing like this has ever happened.If it wasn't because it was too old and weak, it would definitely jump off Ji Meng's lap and run to where it should go.

"It's okay." Ji Meng said.

"You..." Liu Shicheng said, "Go take a bath."

"Ah."

"I'll wash your pants for you."

"Send it to the store."

"understood."

Jimon walked into the bathroom.Liu Shicheng thought for a while, took out a towel and wiped the old dog, and then found a hair dryer to help dry it.

Liu Shicheng always feels that his dog has been in poor health recently, so he has 1 precautions, always afraid that something will happen, which will make it difficult to survive even the last day.It was still a little cold in the spring night, Liu Shicheng thought it would be better not to let the dog get wet.

Last night, I turned on the TV and dialed it around. Sure enough, there was a channel that was broadcasting Journey to the West.

……

——After a while, Ji Meng came out.

——Wearing Liu Shicheng's bathrobe.

"..."

I always feel... very awkward...

The yukata had never been worn or even seen by anyone else.

"Is there anything to eat?" Jimeng didn't care much.

"See for yourself."

So Ji Meng opened the refrigerator and looked inside, he really didn't regard himself as an outsider.

"..." Jimeng searched for a long time, but found only chocolate milk and chocolate ice cream.He pulled out a box of everything, and sat down beside Liu Shicheng, watching Journey to the West.

"..."

It feels weird.

There is another person in the family.

Moreover, that person was wandering around casually, without the slightest sense of being a guest.

However, don't hate it.

For a long time, Liu Shicheng has always been in contact with colleagues and customers... No matter what, there is a wall in between, and that feeling of strangeness cannot be erased no matter what.

There has never been an atmosphere of getting along like this.

Looking at the bathrobe on Ji Meng, Liu Shicheng got up and entered the room.After searching for a long time, I finally found a pair of very fat shorts, and took them into the living room: "Will you wear these first when you leave later?"

"Huh?" Jimeng looked over.

With his own shirt, he looks nondescript.

But Liu Shicheng obviously didn't understand this.

"Okay." Jimeng said, "That's it."

"Ah."

"I'll come back tomorrow night to pay you back."

"..."

"You take my trousers to be washed, and they won't be ready until the day after tomorrow."

"Correct."

Laundromats... usually take a day.

"Then..." Jimeng said again, "I'll come and pick it up the night after tomorrow."

"..."

For some reason, Liu Shicheng suddenly had a terrible premonition.

That is, during the week before Ji Meng went to Africa again, Ji Meng...may find a reason to come and hang around here a few times every day.
