Chapter 168 I almost couldn't hold back.
Shen Mochen put his arm around her. Because he was afraid she would get cold, he deliberately wore a coat, which made it convenient to sandwich her between his arms.
It was dark and no one was around, so Yu Nanqing let him hold her, her hands casually slipping into his pockets. Her gaze was somewhat vacant as she stared at Qiuqiu, who had fallen face-first to the ground several times. After a long while, she finally moved, looked up at Shen Mochen, and asked, "Did it do this before?"
Shen Mochen nodded and reached out to hug her even tighter. "He's a green tea dog. All that obedience before was just an act to compete with me for my affection."
Yu Nanqing remained silent for a long while before speaking again, "Then... why isn't it pretending anymore?"
She asked the question with genuine sincerity, without a trace of mockery.
"Maybe he realized he couldn't compete with me, so he gave up pretending to be well-behaved and let himself go," Shen Mochen replied, raising his eyebrows slightly, making no mention of the lawn being transformed into a deadly toy city for dogs.
The lawn where Qiuqiu is located is called "Mouse Catching Bump Bump Bump".
As soon as a dog goes up there, the lawn will automatically start a game, and then a lifelike mouse will peek out from the lawn, which is a deadly game for a normal dog.
Because they would be exhausted but still couldn't hold down the rats that were luring the dogs.
These features are thanks to a wealthy young lady living in the neighborhood. She has money to burn, so she keeps an extremely expensive poodle. To ensure her dog is happy and enjoys happiness that ordinary dogs cannot, she spent a fortune to have this area cleared out in the neighborhood.
Yu Nanqing is not a sociable person, so she usually doesn't go out unless there's something important to do. After get off work, she watches TV series or draws for a while. She lives a very easy life and soon it's time for bed again.
It looks boring and tasteless, and in fact... it really is boring and tasteless.
Therefore, she knew nothing about these things and only learned about what was happening in the neighborhood from Shen Mochen's occasional stories.
Many times, when the community was going to do something, she, as a homeowner, had to be reminded by Shen Mochen via message or phone call.
Yu Nanqing sighed softly, suddenly feeling that she seemed a bit out of touch with society, and secretly vowed to go out more often in the future.
However, she dismissed the thought as soon as it came to mind, because... she was still in Shen Mochen's arms, like the filling in a sandwich, when a beam of light shone from afar and directly onto her face, followed by a series of barking sounds.
Yu Nanqing's heart clenched suddenly. In a panic, she tried to reach out and grab Shen Mochen's clothes to cover herself up, but after covering herself up, she felt something was wrong. Wouldn't that make her seem even more abnormal, like she was doing something wrong?
She didn't do anything wrong, so why is she feeling guilty?
Thinking it over, she reached out and pulled away Shen Mochen's hand, which was helping her adjust her clothes, and then took the opportunity to get out of his arms and stand properly next to him.
Without the windproof and warm coat and the protection of her body, Yu Nanqing suddenly sneezed. Then, she unconsciously moved closer to Shen Mochen. When he grabbed her hand, she didn't struggle and obediently let him hold it tightly.
It has to be said that Shen Mochen is really like a mobile heat source, bringing warmth wherever he goes.
As the light drew closer, Yu Nanqing realized it was another man walking his dog. However, the man was riding an electric scooter, holding a dog leash, and leisurely strolling along the road.
Upon seeing the two people, he paused, then glanced up at the... rabid dog on the lawn. He instantly understood, a look of empathy appearing in his eyes. He then greeted them, "Walking the dog?"
“…Hmm.” Shen Mochen glanced at him sideways, responded softly, and then pulled Yu Nanqing into his arms, covering her round face with his hands.
The man on the electric bike nodded, then glanced at the dazed-eyed dog he was leading, and couldn't resist kicking its rear end.
Once he was a distance away, seeing the silly dog still pretending, he slapped it twice more. "What are you pretending for? Wasn't it you who almost wrecked the house and was howling desperately trying to get out?"
"What a pervert! He can't even walk past handsome men and beautiful women." He said, his eyes full of resentment.
It's so late at night, why can't they get some sleep? They have to go out and wander around. And now that they see someone attractive, they're pretending to be reserved.
If we don't have enough fun before we go back, I'll glare at him like a resentful wife, bite his clothes, bed sheets, and blankets, scratch the walls, the bed, and the floor, and torture him until he's inhuman.
He tugged at the leash but couldn't move the dog. In a fit of anger, he grabbed it and gave it a good scolding.
He didn't know if the dog understood, but the way the dog looked at him was definitely getting more and more... resentful.
Yu Nanqing glanced sideways at the man and dog on the lawn not far away. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, opened Shen Mochen's coat, and slipped inside.
Shen Mochen then pulled her into his arms, wrapping her up tightly to ensure that not a single breeze could get in.
Qiuqiu played for over an hour until Yu Nanqing was so sleepy she couldn't stand it anymore and kept yawning. Shen Mochen used a few threats and inducements before the dog reluctantly came out of the lawn. However, in a bad mood, it still didn't forget to bite its green frog toy. Although it threw it along the way, biting the ground with its mouth, it still made it home, bringing its beloved toy with it.
Back at the apartment, Qiuqiu washed its paws at the door and dried them before rushing to its nest to drink water.
Yu Nanqing took off her shoes and coat, leaned lazily against the sofa, and quietly stared at the dog drinking water in the distance.
I don't know who this dog learned from, it acts so well. She didn't notice a single flaw before, and thought she had struck gold and raised a well-behaved and smart dog.
It seems that this "good boy" is just too clever for his own good, even more cunning than a human.
When Shen Mochen returned after making the honey water, he handed the straw to Yu Nanqing and dutifully held the glass for her.
He leaned against her from behind, half-embracing her, and his gaze followed her line of sight, slowly settling on the dog that looked like a water buffalo.
He looked so hurried and flustered, as if he hadn't drunk water for hundreds of years.
Shen Mochen remained calm and composed, even raising his eyebrows slightly as he held a glass in one hand and played with Yu Nanqing's fingers in the other.
He was actually quite pleased to see it like this; it was rude and clueless, and sooner or later it would wear away Guai Guai's good impression of it and its affection for it.
However, his beautiful fantasy was shattered before it lasted long.
“It’s actually quite cute like this.” Yu Nanqing rested her chin on her hand, pushed away the glass of honey water in Shen Mochen’s hand, and peeked at him as she spoke, “Don’t you think so?”
Shen Mochen's expression stiffened, and he almost couldn't hide the darkness in his eyes. He hurriedly looked away and responded expressionlessly, "...Mm."
