his mermaid

***

The home is simple furniture from the Nordic series, not even a pattern.

The artistic sense of such decoration comes from the lines and color blocks, as well as the regular metal decoration.

The villa at night is as quiet as a factory.

There is a piece of clothing hanging on a hanger, which looks superfluous.It was his coat, and it was like a figure floating in front of his eyes at this moment.

Yue Guo looked at the shadow bewilderedly, and suddenly yelled.

Fortunately, the light in the room was enough to illuminate it. It was a piece of clothing.After he saw it clearly, he made a "woo" sound.

"Mr. Gao, what happened?"

Aunt Li knocked on the door and walked in.

Before she came in, the surroundings were as quiet as in another uninhabited world.

"Now." Yueguo was sweating profusely, he tilted his head to look at the clock on the bedside, "Is it only seven o'clock?"

The pointing of the pointer made him feel confused, he thought it was very late at night.

If it's only seven o'clock, no wonder Yaochen hasn't come home yet.

But today the doctor has come to change the medicine and do physical therapy.

"Yes, you are asleep. It is autumn now, so it is getting dark very quickly."

Recently, he always felt that the house was very gloomy, like a cloud that couldn't be blown away.After going to sleep, he knew that his legs hadn't fully recovered, and his subconscious mind told him to lie down quietly, and he must not let the wound suffer more damage, so he often felt that he couldn't move.

Yaochen's affairs in the company are getting more and more busy, probably after taking him home, he doesn't have to worry about him running around.So Yaochen didn't come over to guard him from time to time like he did in the hospital before.

He is obviously not a child anymore, but he has become afraid of those furniture, those cold and hard furniture are monsters, and he has no ability to fight back at all. This is completely a child's thinking. When he was a child in boarding school, he often Thinking of Mom while sleeping in the crib, then dreading the whole twisted space.

I have to admit that this car accident made me a different person, and it was an uncontrollable change.

The psychiatrist also said that every person with an acquired disability has to go through this test, and he will feel better only if he thinks this way.

When Yaochen returned home, Yueguo was waiting for him in the living room, sitting weakly in a wheelchair, even if he hadn't moved for a day, he would still be very sleepy, this is his usual state.

Rather than staying in the bedroom, it is better to stay in the bright living room, and you can see Yaochen for the first time. He usually stays in the living room, watching TV. There is nothing to watch, so he follows Aunt Li to watch what she wants Watching soap operas.

After Yaochen said hello, he took a can of beer, and then sat on the sofa. Yueguo controlled the wheelchair and moved it in front of him. He didn't say "Welcome home" or "You're back", but embarrassed Ask: "Yaochen, can you not go to the company tomorrow?" Yue Guo couldn't see any joy on his face.

Yaochen thought about the wording before answering: "The company's business is very important." It means that it can't be done.

Yue Guo asked expectantly again: "Then can I go out? I want to go to Nanhu Park."

"You can't do it alone."

"Aunt Li will come with me, and I will discuss it with her."

"I'll take you there." Yaochen put down the can of beer, he stood up and hugged Yue Guo to the sofa, "Don't look at me with a sad face."

Yue Guo also understands that the two of them are living together, which should be something to be happy about. He has too much negative energy recently.

What Yaochen likes should be the cheerful and easy-going him, not the melancholy and suspicious person in front of him.

"But you are going to the company."

"No, I will explain to my assistants."

Saying this is nothing more than pretending that he is giving in, and increasing Yueguo's guilt.

In fact, the company has nothing to deal with, and it can even be delayed for several days.But watching Yueguo slowly recover day by day, and Yueguo's mood is always low, he feels very bored, so he would rather stay in the company for a while.Maybe it would be more interesting if Yueguo appeared happy.

"The doctor said it, it won't leave scars." He tried to add a little joy to his tone, probably because he knew Yaochen cared about this, "The doctor said that he can wear the amputation cover soon."

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

Yue Guo collapsed on the sofa, Yao Chen turned sideways and lifted the crippled limb.

It was the first time he took a closer look at Yueguo's wound, and it wasn't wrapped with gauze today.The wound has almost scabbed over, except for the unremoved thread, it is not ugly. He said it was ugly when he was angry the day before in the hospital, but he actually likes it very much.

"Don't look at it, it won't be as ugly as it is now after recovery." Yue Guo twisted a bit.

He didn't know that there was blood red seeping around his stump, which had a hint of shyness.Yaochen would never think it ugly.

"Is it not as painful as before?"

"Well, it's much better...but don't touch it, it will still hurt."

Yaochen twitched the corner of his mouth, stroking the scar near the stump, he kept raising his head to check, and Yueguo didn't resist.

***

The next day, Yaochen didn't accompany him to the park, but suddenly a guest came to talk about something, so he still went to the company.

As compensation, he asked Xiao Cheng to take Yue Guo to buy things.

In fact, Nanhu Lake does not have any play value. It is just a small park without water, and it is also a square for grandparents to dance.

But it was his father's favorite place to come for a walk.In fact, no matter where he goes, as long as he can leave the gloomy villa, he will feel relaxed. At home, he always feels that there is a possibility of being peeped, and there are always calls and hang up, even Aunt Li finds it annoying. He didn't tell Yaochen about these things, they thought it was from the housekeeping company or the water and electricity company.

In the park, I saw many people walking their dogs.Cheng Cheng pushed his wheelchair, and would call him when he saw a puppy along the way.

"You look so cute, so cute..."

Only when Cheng Cheng called him, would he turn his head to look, and he could only see a fluffy mess.Then echoed her: "It's so cute."

"Mr. Gao, why don't you have a puppy too? A toy dog, very cute."

"But I..." he hesitated, "it's not convenient for me to take care of dogs."

"It's okay, just let the boss hire another servant to take care of the dog."

"That would be too much trouble."

Yue Guo shook his head.

Cheng Cheng lowered his head and reminded him earnestly: "But the puppy can accompany you. It is so lively and cute. It will make you feel much better when you are by your side. If I am not too busy, I would like to raise one too."

"Yes, you are right."

They walked around the park, returned to Cheng Cheng's car, and then went to a nearby pet store called [De-lovely].

Yueguo didn't have a particular favorite type, but Cheng Cheng liked Schnauzers. After she consulted about the breed, she introduced the cuteness of this small dog to Yueguo.

In the pet store, Yueguo saw a three-month-old schnauzer, a male dog, vaccinated and trimmed.The store manager said that the coat color is salt and pepper color, and it can be seen from the appearance that it is a purebred, and there is a certificate of purebred origin. Great companion dog.

That schnauzer is really cute, even though it has a natural expression, it seems to be sulking, and it makes a whining sound when touched by a stranger.

"Isn't it so cute?" Cheng Cheng was excited, and Yue Guo also smiled cheerfully.His mood brightened because he was surrounded by cute animals.

"I want to ask Yaochen if I can buy a pet."

"Don't ask, just buy it like this." Cheng Cheng was so excited that she ignored whether the boss liked small dogs. She thought it was impossible for anyone in the world to hate such a clever and cute little animal. "Why tell him, give him one Surprised?"

"Um……"

Yue Guo hesitated again and again. He felt that what Cheng Cheng said was right, because he was too boring at home, and he had nothing to talk about with Aunt Li. Yaochen couldn't possibly object to buying a puppy as a pet.

They finished the formalities in the store, and Cheng Cheng paid the money, and then he gave the dog a health check in the store, chipped him, and put a tag on him.I chose a bunch of pet daily necessities, as well as dog food, and packed them into cardboard boxes and moved them to the car.

The store manager taught a series of things about raising a dog, from getting up to going to bed, from eating to exercising, from brushing teeth to taking a bath, Yue Guo couldn't believe that his memory was so good, he memorized them all.

The store manager also asked him to bring regular hair trimming, nail cutting, etc., and if he didn't understand, he should call the phone number on the business card.

They stayed in the pet store for almost five hours, and it was already evening when they returned home. Even the private doctor was at home waiting for Yueguo.

The puppy finally arrived in Yueguo's arms, and he was thinking of a name.

He is not good at naming. He heard that the nickname of the miniature schnauzer is Xiaoxue, so he decided to call it Xiaoxue.

This is his first time raising a dog. If Aunt Li couldn't take care of it when he brought it back, he decided to do more activities every day and take care of it himself.

After Cheng Cheng sent Yueguo home to see Xiaoxue, she began to help move things and went into Xiaoxue's nest.

Yueguo went to the room to change the medicine, and then helped in the living room, holding Xiaoxue to watch her operate.

Unknowingly, they didn't hear someone coming to deliver something at the door, and Aunt Li walked over from the door.

"Mr. Gao, here is your letter."

"My letter?"

It is really strange that people still communicate by letter in this era. There is no signature on the letter. Yueguo thought about who would send it. He opened the envelope with Xiaoxue in his arms. Reluctant to let go of the envelope, Yue Guo laughed at himself and laughed involuntarily, but when he saw the letter, his smile stopped suddenly.

There is no human-written content in it, but a sentence spelled out with words from newspapers and clip art, which reads impressively: leave him.After that there are five more words: or you will die.

The simple and straightforward text mentioned "death" directly.

This is a prank threatening letter, and judging from the content of this sentence, the meaning it intends to express is quite extreme and childish, almost like a child playing a game.

Reminiscent of the prank call he made recently and then hung up on, Yueguo broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't want others to notice his abnormality, so he moved the wheelchair to the entrance, and at this moment, the door opened.

"what!"

"what is it call?"

Xiaoxue jumped out of her arms, rushed to the foot of the person at the entrance, and gave him a bite.

"Uh……"

The person who came in was Yaochen.Probably because I was taken aback, he looked very tall, even the puppy was frightened, and when he heard the scream, he ran to bite the person who entered the door, and he bumped into Yaochen and fell , lying on the ground again.

Yue Guofang felt his gaffe, he immediately stuffed the letter into the sweater, Yaochen didn't notice it.

Yaochen looked at him with some pain: "Is this the dog you bought?"

"I……"

"And brushed more than 2."

"I'm sorry, I'll give you the money." Yue Guo said immediately.

"No need, what do you give me? You can raise a dog as you like." Yaochen was furious, thinking that this dog was not worth so much money, he turned around after speaking quickly, "I'm going to the hospital."

The door was still locked during the whole process.

Cheng Cheng ran over to pick up Xiaoxue, and put it back into Yueguo's hands. It lay on the new owner's stomach, whining continuously.

"I'm sorry, Yaochen, I'm sorry." Yue Guo chased him with a wheelchair and apologized.Yaochen must have thought he was bitten by a dog, so he was going to the hospital for a vaccination, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, Yaochen, I also want to go together."

"Boss, don't be angry, I asked Mr. Gao to buy a puppy."

Cheng Cheng caught up with him with his bag, and immediately found the receipt. The figures of the two people behind him disappeared at the gate of the parking lot, and Yue Guo didn't see clearly, and they didn't have time to pay attention to him.

woo woo woo woo.The puppy was very restless in his arms.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxue."

Yue Guo breathed heavily and smoothed the dog's fur so that it might calm down.

When Yaochen left, he found out that prank threatening letter that seemed to be a joke again, and he also became uneasy.

***

Yueguo and Aunt Li have been taking care of Xiaoxue's room at home, so they can't let her sleep with someone else.

It was gradually getting later, and the phone beeped when there was no news from Yaochen.

"What are you doing?"

It's a stern female voice, it's Yaochen's mother.Last time she also called to teach Yue Guo a lesson, Yue Guo still remembers it fresh.

"Auntie, Yaochen was bitten by a puppy and went to the hospital. Is he okay now?"

"You also know he went to the hospital? Do you know what you did?"

"Sorry, it's all my fault."

Yue Guo tried to keep calm.

"You have a dog. My son doesn't like dogs, and neither do I. Throw them away quickly, or you don't want to live with my son."

"Mom, don't do this..." On the other side of the phone, Yuhan was persuading her aunt, but her breath was still very angry, and she suddenly dropped the phone.

"Brother Yueguo." Yuhan took the words gently, "Actually, Brother Yaochen was not bitten at all, he was hit by a dog, so he thought he was bitten, so he went to the hospital for nothing and was laughed at by the doctor Well. Don't you worry."

Yue Guo also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news, but he realized that he was so scared by Yaochen's mother that he almost cried, and he was too worried just now, and he was very anxious because he couldn't get a call from Yaochen.

"Today he said that the puppy's home has not been settled yet, and the house must be a mess, so he will stay with his mother for one night first."

"Okay." Yue Guo touched Xiaoxue and said, "I will send the puppy away tomorrow, so you can tell auntie for me."

Yuhan knows without thinking too much, it must be because living at home is too boring to want to keep a dog, and as for her mother, it is lucky to have her company, Yueguo must be very lonely.

The next day, Cheng Cheng called Yueguo on the phone, saying that Chu Quan wanted to see him, and he should have gone to see Yaochen, but when Yaochen heard Chu Quan's name, he said he was not free. Yue Guo paid the compensation, and he asked Cheng Cheng to take Chu Quan to find Yue Guo.

They met in a restaurant near the villa area, and Chu Quan returned to his punk outfit, but he didn't have too many jewelry on his face, and his clothes were slightly exaggerated.After they were seated, Cheng Cheng went out and waited.

On the table was a passbook of 100 million, and another 13 in cash. Chu Quan deposited a bank card and pressed it neatly on the passbook.

"Xiao Chu, how do you have so much money?"

Yueguo glanced at the numbers on the passbook, and to be honest, he was shocked. With Chu Quan's economic level, it was impossible to take out so much money all at once.

Chu Quan smiled mysteriously.

It is naturally impossible for Yue Guo to know about the fact that he eats and sleeps everywhere, and stays in friends' houses everywhere.

"How is your leg recovering now?"

"Very good." Yue Guo also smiled at him.

"It doesn't hurt like before, does it?"

"Well... recently, it's much better." Yue Guo continued to ask: "Don't change the topic, how do you have so much money?"

"It's not for stealing or robbing anyway, so don't think too much about it."

"Will you pay me all now?"

"Well, because it's very likely..." Chu Quan was stunned for a moment, swallowing the rest of the words.What he wanted to say was that it was likely that he would never see him again.

Aunt Du, who guarantied him and lent him money, told him not to contact Yue Guo again. Although he didn't understand what Auntie meant, he had to be trustworthy.This may be the last meeting with Yueguo, as long as Yueguo is doing well, he will be at ease.

"How are you doing recently? How is your life? I heard that your home is in this villa area."

"Yeah." Yue Guo said, "It's actually not my family."

"Is that... Jiang Yaochen's house?"

"Yes, I don't know if I will continue to live here in the future. Maybe we will break up. If we break up, we will move out and return to our own home."

Thinking of that threatening letter, Yueguo felt that someone was threatening him in the dark. If this prank continues, it will be a matter of time before he breaks up with Yaochen. Return the money to Yaochen.

But it must not be easy for Chu Quan to get the money in such a short period of time. I don't know if he really sold the house, then he must have had a hard time.

Yue Guo suddenly burst into tears.

"Why did you cry? Why did you break up? Did he treat you badly?"

"No……"

Yue Guo shook his head.

"Actually, I feel that someone around me is playing a prank and asking me to break up, otherwise I will..."

Chu Quan handed him the tissue, even though Yue Guo was no longer crying, he only lost his composure briefly.

Yue Guo touched her bosom: "I want to show you secretly, don't tell it."

"it is good."

Yue Guo took out the threatening letter, which had been hidden in his sweater and never left.

"I dare not tell Yaochen that we will definitely quarrel because of this. Maybe you can't help me, and I don't know why I tell you, anyway..."

"Is this a threatening letter?" Chu Quan opened it and took a look, then quickly put the letter into his backpack, "I'll put it away first, and I'll investigate when I go back."

They sat upright and stared at each other again.

"Because of this, do you think we should break up?"

"Well, and I think the pranks will continue. I made Yaochen angry yesterday. I have a hunch that one day in the future, we will definitely break up..."

He didn't notice that when he spoke, there was sadness and regret.

"Why was he angry yesterday?"

"Because of keeping the dog."

"Keeping a dog?"

"He didn't like it, and he almost got bitten."

"No wonder I saw you hugged out."

There is also a puppy in Yue Guo's arms, because the dining table blocks it, only a little fur is exposed.It has been sleeping, Yue Guo moved the wheelchair out of the dining table, and showed the puppy in front of Chu Quan.

"I can't keep it now. You know a lot of people. Can you ask me if anyone is willing to keep it? There are a lot of pet supplies at home. I'll bring them to you. If not, I'll let Xiao Cheng Help, she likes Schnauzers too."

"It's cute. Let me see."

Chu Quan got up and squatted in front of Yue Guo, holding the sleeping Schnauzer in his arms.

"It's a schnauzer, isn't it so cute? Did you know that the schnauzer originated in Germany? It's one of the best terriers,"

"No, I don't know. Xiao Chu, you know a lot."

"Have you chosen a name?" Chu Quan squatted on the ground, stroking the fluffy puppy, and asked with his head raised.

"I don't know how to name it, so I'm going to call it Xiaoxue."

"Isn't that the same as 'Teddy' called Xiao Tai? Yorkshire is called 'Xiao Yue'!?"

The two laughed at the same time.At this moment, the sound of high heels interrupted their laughter.

"Mr. Gao, the boss is here."

Another footstep followed behind the high heels.

Chu Quan immediately put Xiaoxue back on Yueguo's lap, and stood up to keep a distance, but they were very close just now, no matter how they looked, they were "having a good time".

"Yueguo, I'll ask you about the puppy. There must be friends willing to raise it." Chu Quan said immediately.

Yaochen walked to Yueguo: "Do you want to give the puppy away?"

"Ah."

"Aren't you going to raise it? Let's raise it together, let's go together." He deliberately showed an ambiguous smile, which made Chu Quan feel very uncomfortable.

Just now Yue Guo clearly said that he doesn't like dogs.

"Do you really want to raise it?"

Yue Guo looked at Yaochen in puzzlement again.

"Yeah, it's so cute, you like it very much."

"Then you are not angry about what happened yesterday..."

"No."

Yueguo thought about it for a while, and he hugged Xiaoxue tightly: "Xiao Chu, don't ask me for now. I'd better raise it by myself."

"Well, let's not ask for now. Then I'll go first, Yueguo."

While talking, Chu Quan picked up his Beetle backpack and planned to leave.The man's arm stopped him.

"Where is the compensation you mentioned?"

"on the table."

"Then there is no need to meet and contact again."

Chu Quan also responded with very cold eyes: "I think so too."

Yueguo didn't know why, and was about to ask why, when Chu Quan rushed to the door of the restaurant.

But Yaochen stopped him again, and Chu Quan also stopped.Probably because he didn't want to miss any words about Yueguo.

Yaochen whispered in his ear: "I forgot to mention last time, your father hired someone to play pranks in the hospital, which cast a shadow on Yue Guo's heart. You'd better stay away from Yue Guo."
