Start at the pet store

Ji Ling was not in the office at the time, and did not know the specific situation of the two people. After listening to what Lu Jingxing and the coach said, he felt that this matter was still a bit strange.

"Since there is this problem, you should think of a solution. Now we don't know what their purpose is. What if they use your name to cheat people outside and cheat other people's pets, and finally can't return them?" Ji Ling said.

The coach nodded: "That's right. Mr. Lu, did they tell you where they would take Black Tiger and the general? Or did they say it was to this base?"

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "Maybe because I haven't agreed yet, so we haven't talked about this yet. Besides, according to what I think, it must be assumed that since it is your activity, it must be brought to your base. I won't agree to other places."

"That's right, so we don't know what's going on. What are these people going to do..." The coach frowned slightly.

"I think they will come to see me again. They don't know that I have come to see you. Let me find your contact information, but it seems that I don't have it. I will leave your phone number. When they come, I will call you and you can arrange someone to come and see what is going on." Lu Jingxing thought for a while and said.

The coach nodded repeatedly: "Okay, this is the best. In this situation, it seems that it is not very useful for us to call the police. It would be best if we can catch them at the scene."

So, the coach gave his phone number to Lu Jingxing, and they added each other on WeChat before shaking hands and saying goodbye.

On the way back, Ji Ling didn't speak for a long time.

Lu Jingxing smiled and asked her: "What's wrong?"

"I don't understand. What do those people want to do? You say, now that phone and WeChat are so convenient, do they dare to come to the door to cheat blatantly? Aren't they afraid of being caught?" Ji Ling turned sideways and looked at Lu Jingxing.

"I can't figure it out either. This is something that can easily be exposed. It's really hard to figure it out. Well, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it. What do you want to eat? It's almost seven o'clock." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Whatever is fine. How about going to the food street? I haven't been there for a long time. I'm not very hungry. Just go and have some snacks." Ji Ling remembered that when he was in school, he often went there with his classmates. The main reason was that the food was not expensive and you didn't need to spend too much money to have a good meal. Now thinking about it, it feels like it was a long time ago.

"Okay, let's go to the food street." Lu Jingxing turned at the next intersection and walked towards the food street.

"I don't know if Black Tiger can get in..." Ji Ling said with some concern.

"Woof woof..." Black Tiger stood up immediately when he heard it was mentioned. He shouted twice.

"Damn, you'd better stop shouting. Your ears are going to be deafened by you." Black Tiger was sitting in the seat behind the cab. Its shout shook Lu Jingxing.

"Haha... Black Tiger, stop barking..." Ji Ling turned around and laughed.

Lu Jingxing looked at Black Tiger in the rearview mirror with a smile, and saw that it was lying on its back, with its mouth open and tongue sticking out, looking at the two people in front of it with an innocent face.

"It must not be left alone in the car in this weather. It's okay. You can go in with a leash and a muzzle." Lu Jingxing said.

Black Tiger immediately lay down quietly again. As long as it is not left alone in the car, it will be fine.

Soon they arrived at the parking lot of the food street. Lu Jingxing parked the car, and Ji Ling and Black Tiger got out of the car.

Lu Jingxing took out the leash and muzzle from the trunk of the car, and Black Tiger stretched his head over very cooperatively.

"It is so smart. If its hands are as flexible as humans, it may not need our help. It will put it on itself." Ji Ling said with a smile.

Lu Jingxing, who had put the harness on Black Tiger, smiled and stroked Black Tiger's head: "Of course, our Black Tiger is the smartest dog in our pet family, right, Black Tiger..."

"Woo woo..." Black Tiger couldn't bark, but his tail was wagging like a fan. He was very happy to hear the praise.

The two and the dog walked into the snack street.

There are already several snack streets in Longan now, and the contents are similar.

There are also snack streets in the Cute Pet Paradise, but the night market they came to tonight is the most lively in Longan, with the most varieties and the most people.

Today is Tuesday, and there are fewer people. If it is Friday, Saturday or other holidays, people can come in, but Black Tiger probably can't come in.

"Let me tell you, there is a stall here that sells the most famous stinky tofu. Many people come here specifically to buy it..." Ji Ling and Lu Jingxing walked side by side, and Black Tiger followed closely behind them, an inch away.

"I remember you said that last time..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Well, you'll know after you try it. Actually, I don't think there's anything special about it. The tofu tastes just like that. They fry it thoroughly. I remember asking them at the time. Their sauce is made in-house, so it's especially tasty. Also, the boss is generous and gives a lot of sauce." Ji Ling chattered all the way like a bird set free.

Lu Jingxing responded with a few words from time to time, following her with a faint smile on his face.

As long as he saw Ji Ling looking at a stall for a few more times, Lu Jingxing would stop immediately and encourage her to buy some.

Ji Ling felt a little embarrassed at first: "I seem to have eaten a lot."

"It's okay, just a little bit of each, I'm not full yet." Lu Jingxing said with a smile. Ji Ling was like a cat, eating only a little bit of each to taste. She said she wanted to lose weight and didn't dare to eat too much, so Lu Jingxing ate the rest.

However, it was obvious that the little girl wanted to try something else, so Lu Jingxing had to sacrifice his stomach and eat all the food she didn't finish, so as not to burden her.

"Octopus balls..." Ji Ling pointed to one of the stalls and said.

"If you want to eat, go buy a box." Lu Jingxing knew that Ji Ling liked to eat this. When she was in the cute pet park, she would buy a box from time to time.

Ji Ling rubbed her stomach: "Why not forget it, it's a bit too much."

"It's okay, if you can't finish it, there are still me and Heihu, right, Heihu..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

Hearing what Lu Jingxing said, Ji Ling's eyes narrowed with joy and walked towards the stall: "Help me get a box..."

"Okay, wait a moment..." There were not many people today, and the boss was not busy. Seeing that there were customers, he was more enthusiastic than during holidays.

"Ji Ling?" The boss's wife looked up at Ji Ling.

Ji Ling was also surprised to be called out by her name suddenly, staring at the boss's wife: "Who are you?"

The boss's wife took off her mask: "It's me, why are you here?"

Ji Ling recognized her: "Liu Mei, why is it you..." She shouted with real joy.

"I didn't expect to meet you here, are you alone?" Liu Mei looked behind her. Lu Jingxing was squatting on the ground to bring food to Hei Hu. He stood up after hearing the conversation between the two: "Hello, I'm her boyfriend..."

Liu Mei looked at the two with envy: "That's great..."

Ji Ling turned around and smiled at Lu Jingxing, then turned around and looked at Liu Mei: "I haven't seen you for many years. Is this your stall?"

Liu Mei smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is my husband. We just came here last month. I heard that you were admitted to Peking University, right? That's amazing, you are so awesome, come in, sit for a while, there is a table inside."

Liu Mei walked out enthusiastically and pulled Ji Ling.

Ji Ling smiled and greeted her husband, and was pulled by Liu Mei to walk inside: "Hey, handsome guy, come on, you can sit inside. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's chat before leaving."

"Okay..." Lu Jingxing smiled and nodded: "You go in first, I'll give my dog ​​something to eat first."

Ji Ling and Liu Mei sat down at the small table. She took out the things she bought and put them on the table: "What do you want to eat? I bought a lot."

Liu Mei took the things Ji Ling gave her without hesitation, just like when she was a child. When her husband put the octopus balls on the table, Ji Ling wanted to pay, but Liu Mei refused to take anything.

Ji Ling didn't insist anymore. Later, seeing that their business was getting better, Ji Ling added Liu Mei's WeChat and left with Lu Jingxing.

Before leaving, Liu Mei's eyes were filled with tears: "Please keep in touch with me in the future. My father is gone and I have no relatives. Please keep in touch with me."

Ji Ling was also moved to tears by her: "Yes, I will. You and your husband are fine. Call me when you have time. I will come back to Long'an whenever I have a holiday."

The two hugged each other gently before reluctantly parting.

On the way back, Ji Ling talked about Liu Mei.

"We were classmates in elementary school. My parents hadn't divorced yet. Liu Mei was from a single-parent family. Her mother died when she was very young. She often ate at my house.

When she was young, her father, Uncle Liu, found a stepmother for her. However, Uncle Liu still loved her very much. I remember that her stepmother also had a child. Uncle Liu would secretly give Liu Mei money without letting her stepmother know. Later, Uncle Liu broke up with her stepmother. It seemed that the reason was that her stepmother treated her child better and was always bad to Liu Mei. We were young and ignorant at that time, but I remember some things roughly."

Speaking of this, Ji Ling's expression dimmed.

Lu Jingxing reached out and touched her head.

"It's okay. I just thought of myself at that time. In fact, I was very happy at that time. My parents treated me well. Xiaomei often lived in my house at that time, but my parents never allowed me to live in her house, that is, they didn't allow me to stay overnight at her house. It wasn't until many years later that I knew why..." Ji Ling looked ahead in a daze, her eyes not focused at all.

"Why?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"Later, my mother told me that because there were only her and her father in their family, and her stepmother had already left, my mother was afraid that something might happen to me, a girl, living in their house. My mother said that Xiaomei could come to our house at any time, but you couldn't live in their house..." Ji Ling was stunned for a long time without saying anything.

"In fact, my parents were really good to me at that time, why did it become like that later?" Ji Ling was a little confused.

Lu Jingxing didn't know how to comfort her: "Maybe they had their own difficulties, but no matter how difficult they were, they shouldn't have treated you like that. You are always their daughter, and you are innocent."

He just sat at the small table and listened to the two girls talking about their childhood. It was true that Ji Ling was happy at that time. Her current mood might be because she thought of the happy time when she was a child, Lu Jingxing thought.

"My dad sent me a message a few days ago, saying apologetic words all the time, and transferred me two thousand yuan. I didn't take it. To be honest, when I was in middle school, I really hated them, but now..." Ji Ling hesitated.

Lu Jingxing was a little surprised because Ji Ling didn't tell him anything. He also felt that Ji Ling seemed to have something on her mind in those days, but he asked, and seeing that Xiao Nizi kept saying it was okay, he didn't ask in detail.

It turned out that her father contacted her.

He didn't want to make a decision for her, and he could understand whether she chose to forgive or not, because her years in middle school were really difficult. No matter what difficulties his parents had, they could not abandon their daughter. reason.

"You no longer need to rely on them, so there is no need to struggle. If you want to forgive, then try to accept it. If you are not willing to forgive, then ignore it. The hard days are over, and don't let yourself suffer anymore. Yes, and you will still have me in the future, right..." Lu Jingxing said softly.

I don't know when tears started to appear in Ji Ling's eyes again. She nodded vigorously: "I won't worry about it. I'm very happy now and I want to stay happy. As for them, let's talk about it later. I don't know." Are they contacting me because they feel guilty or because I am living a better life now, so they feel they want to rely on me in the future, but no matter what, at least for now I will not choose to forgive, and I will not forgive easily. It depends on their performance. "

Lu Jingxing glanced at her. He had always known that she was a strong girl. She had gone through such hard times, so naturally he would not try to get into trouble. He did not want to say too much to influence her thoughts. He just wanted to keep her strong. Backup: "Don't hold things in your heart alone in the future. Remember that I'm there, you know? You're not alone anymore." Lu Jingxing said pitifully.

"Well, I want to tell you, but I haven't thought about how to say it. After all, you know I used to hate them so much." Ji Ling looked at Lu Jingxing.

"You don't have to think so much. I will support you no matter what decision you make..." Lu Jingxing reassured her.

"It's great to have you..." Ji Ling exhaled softly with a small face. This matter has been on her mind for several days. She wanted to say it several times, but she was afraid that Lu Jingxing would say that she was unsure, so she never spoke. , it seems that she simply thinks too much.

"Fool..." Lu Jingxing stroked her head.

The two of them chatted and soon arrived at the second store, sent Heihu to the store, and then walked home.
