Chapter 23: I'll send you away with your dog tonight.
Chen Jingshen wore a loose white jumper and black pants.
This was the first time Yu Fan had ever seen Chen Jingshen wearing anything other than the school uniform.
A little smoother than at school.
The dog remained on Yu Fan's lap, tail wagging and waving, and didn't look like he was going to run.
So Yu Fan stood still, chewing on his cigarette and asked vaguely, "Why are you here?"
"Walk the dog."
Yu Fan glanced at the narrow street and the crowd around him, "Slipping in here?"
"It was originally in the park nearby." Chen Jingshen seemed to remember something, that face paralyzed face appeared some inexplicable expression, "and then was brought here by it."
"......"
Yu Fan thought about the nearest park.
Dude, a 3,000-meter run with a dog?
Du Binquan looks ferocious, although it wears a muzzle and a leash, but still some passers-by are scared by it.
The dog circles Yu Fan's leg a few times. Restricted by its muzzle, the sound it can make is deep and small, a bit like a warning before a pounce.
A little boy passes by, meets the dog's eyes, and cries in terror.
"Ai ai ai, the baby does not cry," next to the mother immediately picked him up, coaxed twice, and then toward Yu Fan white glance, a small reprimand, "here walking the dog, what a person which!"
Yu Fan: "......"
He wrinkled his brow in annoyance and shoved the unlit cigarette back into the holder.
"Give me the rope."
Chen Jingshen hands him the rope, Yu Fan threads his hand into the handle, and the backs of their hands briefly press together for a second, both cold.
"What kind of large dog does a punk have." Yu Fan took the dog, and without looking back, threw down, "Keep up."
Chen Jingshen: "Good."
A few steps away, the dog realized that someone had changed at the other end of the leash and couldn't help but look back at his master.
Chen Jingshen lowered his eyes and wiggled his fingers at it.
The dog immediately "whined" and wagged his tail as he continued on his way.
The street is full of food stalls all the way down, and gets more crowded as the night goes on.
Yu Fan walked on the most side of the road, trying to avoid people as much as possible. Luckily, the dog didn't make a fuss either, and obediently stuck to the wall.
"Where are we going?" The man behind him asked.
Yu Fan: "Get out."
Slipping a dog in a snack bar doesn't seem appropriate in any way.
After a few moments, the person behind him asked again, "Did you have dinner."
Yu Fan ignored him.
Chen Jingshen : "I didn't eat it."
"Then starve."
"It didn't eat it either."
The dog stopped as if it understood, "Oooo~"
Yu Fan: "......"
Chen Jingshen picked a noodle shop at random on the side of the road, fearing that the dog would scare people, he went into the store to pack his bags.
Yu Fan stood guard outside the door with a man and a dog on a leash, and the store's business plummeted for the last ten minutes.
Not long after, Chen Jingshen came out with several bags in his hands.
Yu Fan looked at it and thought he might be trying to give the dog a full table.
Yu Fan took them to a nearby artificial lake.
There were benches all around the artificial lake, Yu Fan picked one and sat down, lazily sizing up the dog in front of him.
Chen Jingshen followed him to sit down, and the dog immediately turned its head over and leaned against Chen Jingshen's leg.
The dog looked just like the photo and was well kept. Its ears stand high and it has an innate aristocratic quality when sitting quietly.
Yu Fan was staring intently when someone next to him handed him a plastic bag.
"An extra bowl of noodles." Chen Jingshen said, "That store buys one and gets one free."
Yu Fan didn't even look at it, "Not eating ......"
Coo.
His stomach rumbled.
Yu Fan: "."
Half a minute later, Yu Fan lifts the plastic cover.
The smell of food wafted out, and the dog immediately sat up and "whined".
Chen Jingshen reached out and rubbed his hand on it, "Don't bark."
Chen Jingshen's hands are long and white, with pronounced knuckles and slightly raised veins visible when he exerts himself. His hands are large, and whether he is turning a pen or training a dog, he carries a calm and lazy demeanor.
The hand moved up from the dog's neck and finally came to rest on the pair of metal muzzles.
Chen Jingshen looked toward him, "Don't mind."
Yu Fan returned to his senses and shook his head.
Chen Jingshen took off his muzzle, and the dog immediately opened his mouth and let out a loud "woof".
"Don't bark, bark again and put it on." Chen Jingshen gently patted the dog's face, then said, "It doesn't bite, and carrying this is just to put passersby at ease."
"Uh-huh." Yu Fan crossed his legs and casually asked, "What's his name?"
"Fanfan."
"?"
Fanfan heard his name, but did not dare to call out, and could only turn around by Chen Jingshen's legs.
Yu Fan twisted his head with his bowl, "Which Shige?"
Chen Jingshen was silent for a moment, "Prosperity of prosperity."
"......"
It's normal for pets to use stacked characters as names. Traditional characters are rare, but not completely unused.
Anyone else, Yu Fan wouldn't have thought twice about it.
But at the moment, he just felt so offended by the name--
Chen Jingshen looked at Yu Fan's face with "Are you a pervert?" written on it and pondered for a few seconds.
"It was brought to me when I was in elementary school, and it was named then." Chen Jingshen grabbed the collar on the dog's neck and faintly said, "Fanfan, come here."
Yu Fan: "."
Chen Jingshen hooks his finger on the dog tag hanging from Fanfan's collar.
Yu Fan squints to see.
Chen Jingshen's phone number is on the front of the dog tag.
On the back is a line that reads: [Fanfan, 2011.12.29]
"It's the date of birth." Chen Jingshen said, "It's on every one of his dog tags."
"......"
All right.
Yu Fan not very coolly lowered his head and ate a mouthful of noodles.
The dog didn't get any food and kept turning around at his feet. Chen Jingshen grabbed its collar with one hand and reached into the bag for a moment.
Then pulled out a tea egg.
Yu Fan watched as he plucked at the shell and broke the egg, the white being stuffed into his mouth by himself, leaving the yolk for Shuan's turn - the dog.
Yu Fan: "And you bought it an egg?"
"Uh-huh." Chen Jingshen said, "Don't let him eat too much or he won't be able to tug."
"......"
You're so wastefully justified.
The cold moon hangs high. A few occasional breezes from the lake, cozy and comfortable.
After a bowl of noodles, Yu Fan's nerves that had been tense all night were suddenly soothed by the wind.
Just kind of want to smoke.
Yu Fan held back, his shoulders collapsing slightly as he spoke lazily, "I don't think it's hard for him to sneak around, how did you let him run all the way on a lead?"
"I can't pull myself together when I'm cranky." Chen Jingshen said, "but usually they are very good."
As if he knew they were talking about him, Fanfan stomped on his front foot and tried to step on Chen Jingshen's leg.
Chen Jingshen stretching his legs and letting it do its thing, his hand naturally touched its body, flexing his fingers and scratching a few times.
Ding.
A crisp cell phone beep called Yu Fan back to his senses.
Shit.
In the dark, Yu Fan reaches up and rubs his face, fumbling to turn on his cell phone.
[Wang Luan: The grueling studies are over and I've decided to relax. So are there any brothers playing games?
Wang Luan: @- Why aren't you online anymore? You're not playing?
Yu Fan, that's why he's reacting.
He's finished eating, why is he still sitting here with Chen Jingshen?
"I'm going back." Yu Fan got up, "You can take it back, right?"
"Could be."
Yu Fan turns around, "What about-"
"Wait."
"I just saw a bookstore around the corner, I want to go in and buy a tutorial book." Chen Jingshen held the dog with one hand and grabbed the corner of Yu Fan's coat with the other, "Can you look after it for me for another five minutes?"
In front of the bookstore, another man and a dog.
Yu Fan stood and waited for a while, Yu Guang glanced down and met the dog's eyes.
In the middle of the day, he squatted down and said to the dog, "From now on your name is Deep."
Fanfan: "......"
Yu Fan: "Deep."
Fanfan: "......"
Yu Fan frowns, "Out loud will you?"
Fanfan: "......"
Yu Fan thinks he's sick for renaming his dog here.
He straightened up and took out his cell phone to answer Wang Luan's earlier message.
The dog sat obediently at his lap, its dark eyes darting curiously at the pedestrian.
After a long time, the door to the bookstore was opened and the wind chimes swung in the air.
"Fanfan."
Yu Fan subconsciously turned back-along with the dog beside him.
Chen Jingshen, who was originally looking at the dog, sensed his line of sight and turned his eyes towards him.
Yu Fan: "............"
What the fuck am I gonna do?
"Wooooooo~Wooooooo!" The dog happily responded hundreds of times through the muzzle in Chen Jingshen's direction.
Chen Jingshen walked over and was just about to say something when he saw the boy's deadpan face and handed him the handle.
"Take your dog away." The tone was worse than the face.
Chen Jingshen Uh-huh. Taking the handle, he then slipped another slightly heavy plastic bag into his hand.
"Thanks for tonight." Chen Jingshen said.
Yu Fan looked at the bag of Dumb and Dumber 2017 and thought, "You're welcome, I'll give you away with your dog tonight.
