My Lover with Fluffy Ears
Chapter 18: (rebuilt)
The weather outside was high in autumn and crisp, and people walking dogs and children in the community came out to enjoy the beautiful weather. Inside the house, Chen Qi pressed the remote control expressionlessly.
Not knowing what to watch, Chen Qi turned off the TV and threw the remote control aside, lying on the sofa staring at the pale ceiling in a daze. I closed my eyes and wanted to take a nap. The dripping sound of the tap and the ticking sound of the clock seemed to be amplified dozens of times at this moment, making people irritable and noisy.
But just a week ago, Chen Qi was still comfortably lying on the sofa and watching TV leisurely, lamenting that he was finally freed from the trivial matters of the gray eggs, and could go back to the life of a house girl.
However, there is always a difference between reality and dreams.
Less than two days have passed since the quiet days, and the happy mood gradually cooled down. I always disliked the clingy and stupid appearance of Gray Egg, but during the daytime, I was the only one at home, so quiet that Chen Qi seemed to have returned to two years ago.
Back in those days when my parents passed away and I was alone with sadness and depression.
With a sigh, Chen Qi sat up and turned on the TV again, listening to the boring soap opera on TV, but his thoughts drifted further and further away. Chen Qi couldn't help thinking about the future. After Huidan left home, would he want to raise a dog again?
Thinking that Huidan would leave him and start a new life independently, Chen Qi was always gloomy. He even thought about how much money he would give as his former master when he got married.
"Bah." Hui Dan, who came home from school, closed the door and walked straight to the kitchen with the plastic bag in his hand.
Since Huidan began to learn some simple words and arithmetic, Chen Qi officially handed over the task of grocery shopping to Huidan last weekend. For this reason, Chen Qi took Huidan to the supermarket for a few days to learn how to recognize vegetables and teach him How to spend money and shop.
Regarding this task that the master gave him, Gray Egg has always been very serious and serious in completing it. Every day I left early as soon as school was over, and several times Rhubarb couldn't catch up. Later, when Rhubarb learned that Huidan had learned how to use money and that he could go shopping alone in the supermarket with a "dog", it immediately caused a small sensation in the class. In the envious eyes of his classmates, Huidan felt that he had to do a better job of grocery shopping.
Putting the vegetables in the refrigerator one by one, when he returned to the living room, Gray Egg keenly felt that something was wrong with the owner on the sofa. Is it because he was not feeling well? Doing the movements he learned from the TV series before, he held up the dim face in front of him, and used His forehead pressed against hers.
As soon as the skin touched, Gray Egg's heart jumped.
What's the matter? Could it be that I'm sick? Taking a few steps back and clutching his thumping chest, Gray Egg thought uncomfortably.
Chen Qi, who was immersed in giving 888 or 1000 gifts, came back to his senses, "What were you doing just now?"
Seeing Huidan covering his chest and looking at him cautiously, Chen Qi muttered something inexplicably and got up and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Huidan hurriedly followed Chen Qi and gave her a hand, helping to wash rice and pick vegetables.
"Plop thump." The sound of the heart beating.
In the cramped kitchen, the two inevitably had physical contact, and Huidan found that his illness was getting worse. As long as you stare at the master for a while, the beating thing in his chest seems to be about to pop out.
Chen Qi was waiting for Hui Egg's washed dishes to be ready for the pot, and casually glanced aside, Hui Egg walked out of the kitchen with his body hunched over his chest.
"You want to be lazy even if you haven't washed your vegetables, gray egg, where are you going?" Chen Qi quickly scooped up the leaves twice and poured them into the pot, waving a shovel, and frying.
Is Grey Egg ill?
A few images flashed through my mind, and I decisively turned off the stove and came to the living room. Gray Egg was curling up on the sofa with his head down.
"Are you not feeling well, Huidan?" He felt the temperature of Huidan's forehead with his palm for a while, "It's not very hot, so why is your face so red?"
"Wow!" The Grey Egg screeched and turned his head away from the warm palm on his forehead.
After finding the thermometer in the TV cabinet, Chen Qi threw it and put it under Huidan's arm. "Just don't move in this position. I'll come and get it later." Pressing Huidan's arm hard, he went back to the kitchen to cook vegetables. .
And Huidan heard the owner's words not to move, so he really clasped his arms tightly and sat on the sofa. Just when Huidan's upper body started to feel numb and couldn't help shaking slightly, Chen Qi came out with a plate.
Seeing that Huidan was still doing what he did before he left, he couldn't help but scolded him, "Silly dog." Chen Qi took out the thermometer and carefully observed the mercury scale. He looked left and right to see that the mercury scale in the thermometer did not exceed 37°C.
The gray egg, who had been following Chen Qi the whole time, suddenly found that his master was staring at him, his face was full of suspicion, and his tone was fierce.
"Has your skin started to itch, gray egg? You've all learned to pretend to be sick and be lazy."
Gray Egg pouted, full of grievances and pulled Chen Qi's hand to his chest.
I felt Huidan's heartbeat for a few seconds, and it was indeed beating very fast. Seeing Huidan's expression of "you understand, now", Chen Qi immediately slapped Huidan's forehead, but it didn't take much effort.
"Yesterday, I saw you running downstairs so much that Rhubarb couldn't catch up with you. You have a heart attack by pretending to be bad. Get up and go to the kitchen with me."
Being pointed at the nose by the master, Huidan didn't dare to breathe, so he rolled back to the kitchen in a sullen manner. Chen Qi nodded and thought that Huidan was just scolded. Anyway, he didn't have much homework, so he could just teach him to cook, so that he wouldn't be able to eat in the future. Well, it's definitely not that I want to be lazy again, this is a necessary means of survival. Speaking of being lazy... No, it should be done.
In front of the sink, Huidan lowered his head and looked down at the shallots. Chen Qi waved his hand to let Huidan put down the shallots, "Come here, Huidan, today I'm going to teach you how to make a big dish. Wash it first."
As he said that, he took out a piece of pork belly from the refrigerator and handed it to Huidan, who took it obediently. Put it under the faucet and rub it under the guidance, turn off the water gray egg, and look at Chen Qi with bright eyes, but he is ignored.
Chen Qi immediately issued the next order, asking Huidan to cut the pork belly into small pieces.
Immediately, Gray Egg's slightly wobbly tail hung down, and the light in his eyes went out. He raised his hand and took off the cutting board and kitchen knife from the hanging wall, staring at the bright gray egg of the kitchen knife in his hand and seemed at a loss.
Seeing this, after Chen Qi demonstrated it to Huidan, he was still clumsy when he took over the kitchen knife, and secretly said 'stupid dog' Chen Qi pressed Huidan's right hand with his right hand, "If you want to hold the handle of the knife like this, press it with your left hand. Hold on to what you want to cut, and step back while cutting."
Chen Qi taught very attentively, but Huidan became anxious, the warm body temperature in his arms, and the most comfortable smell of Huidan in the tip of his nose.
"You have to cut the meat into small pieces... Huidan!" After Chen Qi finished speaking, he raised his head, and Huidan looked straight at himself, obviously distracted.
Chen Qi directly gave Huidan an elbow in the chest, and pushed him away to stand aside. She didn't know how she ran into Huidan's arms. Fan Fan's face was a little hot, and Chen Qi continued to teach in a huff.
Maybe it was because he was afraid that his master would get angry and ignore him, so Huidan never deserted him again, and followed Chen Qi's instructions in every move.
"Well, just sauté the oil of the pork belly like this. You can see that the color of the meat is slightly yellow, so put the bean paste in it."
Chen Qi said and poured a small spoon of doubanjiang into the pot, "Quick, turn the gray eggs evenly." Then he handed them a bottle of dark soy sauce and said, "Add the gray eggs yourself, and pour a little less."
At Chen Qi's instructions, he laid a gray egg and carefully poured a spoonful of soy sauce into the pot.
"Okay, let's turn on a small fire now and come back in 20 minutes."
After walking two steps, Chen Qi turned around and found that Huidan was staring at the "gudugudu" pot, shouted twice, and after Chen Qi took out his phone and set the time, he returned to the living room.
After 20 minutes, the timer rang, and Chen Qi returned to the kitchen to find that Gray Egg was still in the same position as before.
"You're just standing there, how about coming to me to taste it?" He took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and couldn't wait to swallow it, then took a few more pieces.
Although the same steps and the same seasoning are used, it is much more delicious than doing it yourself.
As a lazy house, Chen Qi doesn't like to cook. Laziness is on the one hand, and on the other hand, Chen Qi finds that he has no talent for cooking. Braised pork is also one of the few dishes that she can still eat. She usually buys semi-finished products from the supermarket or orders takeaways to make ends meet.
‘Maybe it’s because Grey Egg used to be a dog with a sensitive nose. ' Chen Qi made such a conclusion in his heart.
"You've done a great job of gray egg, keep up the good work."
"Wow!" With the owner's compliment, Gray Egg wagged his tail proudly, and lowered his head to get the reward of "dog-head petting", but was patted on the head.
"Don't be complacent, come out quickly."
after dinner.
The ashes put away the bowls and chopsticks like a fire, twice as fast as usual, arousing the curiosity of Chen Qi, who was constantly "fighting" on his mobile phone.
In less than five minutes, Gray Egg trotted back to the sofa and turned on the TV channel.
"Have you washed your dishes?" Chen Qi asked with a frown.
Gray Egg stared straight at the TV and nodded in response, stopped the FM action, and a familiar melody came from the TV. Chen Qi 'cut' and returned his focus to the mobile game.
What was broadcast on the TV was the TV series that Huidan was fascinated by during this time - "The Loyal Dog's Tough Wife". Not only was Huidan obsessed by himself, but there was a lot of discussion in the class.
Different from the attention of classmates, compared to classmates who pay attention to how bad the villain is in the play, and how the protagonist defeats the villain in the play to win, Huidan is more interested in the process of getting along with the male protagonist and his "master".
In the play, the hero turned from a stray dog into a human being and was taken in by a kind heroine. The heroine also taught him to read and speak. Just after the hero adapted to human society, a man suddenly appeared who wanted to arrest the hero for an autopsy. Research villain. In the battle of wits and courage with the villain, the relationship between the male and female protagonists gradually warms up, from a simple relationship between a pet and its owner, to a lover.
Gray Egg doesn't know what a lover is, but he is faintly envious. He also really wanted to hug his owner like the 'dog' in the play, and even... mouth to mouth.
I still remember the first time I saw the protagonist kissing in the play, Huidan immediately froze for a moment, his face was extremely hot, and he slowly shrank himself into a ball and put his head on his knees.
What's the matter with this dog, how can it be like that with its owner? It's so shameless!
Gray Egg blushed and slapped the male protagonist in his heart, but his eyes turned uncontrollably to Chen Qi who was addicted to his mobile phone.
"Damn, is this person a pig?" Chen Qi cursed at the phone with a fierce expression, but the more he looked at the gray egg, the hotter his face became, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
Suddenly, "Wow!" Huidan shouted, Chen Qi raised his head and gave Huidan a white look, "What are you doing crazy again?" Huidan buried his head on his knees, Chen Qi muttered for a while. The sentence neuropathy continued to play with the phone.
late at night.
Gray Egg is rarely insomnia, and when he closes his eyes, the image of the hero and heroine of the TV series kissing in his mind will gradually become himself and his master.
Didn't you say you don't want to think about it anymore?!
Gray Egg tossed and turned on the sofa, staring at the dark ceiling Gray Egg felt that he was really crazy like the owner said.
In the dark night, the clock kept turning, and the gray egg, who had been unable to sleep, became more and more anxious, and finally gave up struggling and allowed the wild thoughts in his mind.
The next day, Rhubarb rarely found that Huidan was dozing off in class. This was the first time Rhubarb saw Huidan not studying hard in class.
"Hey, you wake up, the teacher has noticed you several times." Da Huang tugged at the elbow of Huidan's clothes.
Gray Egg was pulled on the table inadvertently, and he shook his head and sat upright and began to listen to the lecture seriously, but his eyes were disobedient and wanted to close.
After class, Rhubarb asked Huidan what was going on, and found that he had fallen asleep on the table, so he had to give up.
After making up sleep between classes, Huidan finally stopped dozing off in the next few classes, but Huidan couldn't calm down and study. His heart was always in a mess, and Huidan couldn't help but wonder why the male protagonist on the TV was like the female protagonist, so that he didn't sleep well last night.
When it is time for school, because it is Friday, school will be dismissed an hour earlier than usual. Rhubarb had already put away his things, but saw that Huidan was not as active as usual, but was sitting in his position dawdlingly.
"Have you collected the gray eggs yet?" Rhubarb asked in surprise while carrying a schoolbag.
"You... said last time that you wanted to take me to play in your grandpa's shop, why don't you go today."
After being stunned for two seconds, Rhubarb was surprised, knowing that he had been inviting Huidan since last week, but he had never refused him on the grounds that he had to go home early or buy groceries. Although I don't know why Huidan agreed suddenly, Rhubarb was very excited to help Huidan pack up, even if there were no two things.
The store that Da Huang used to talk about was the stewed vegetable restaurant opened by Grandpa Liu, the original owner of Da Huang and the current guardian. The address of the braised vegetable shop is very close to the community, and the storefront is not about 18 square meters.
From a distance, Huidan saw several uncles and aunts carrying vegetables standing in front of the store, and their noses were filled with the aroma of marinated vegetables.
"Rhubarb, you're here." An old grandfather who had just collapsed into the store and was cutting pork heads shouted. This old grandfather was Rhubarb's guardian, Grandpa Liu.
"Da Huang, is this your classmate?"
Da Huang nodded in response. At this time, the customer in the store interjected, and Grandpa Liu chatted with the customer.
After taking the plastic bench that Rhubarb handed over and sitting down, Huidan finally realized that he would feel familiar. It turned out that the owner of this shop had brought him here several times in the past, but it was before he became a human being.
Grandpa Liu in front of him was also common in the community when he was a dog, so... Da Huang is the big yellow dog next to Grandpa Liu?!
"That's right, but I became a human a week earlier than you." Rhubarb responded, "I even came to greet you and ignored me." Rhubarb said with a bit of grievance.
Gray Egg was noncommittal and said, "I didn't notice you running slowly."
Hearing that, Da Huang disturbed his head, "Who told you (dog) that your legs are longer than mine?"
