After finishing reading all the WeChat messages that needed to be read and replying to those that needed to be replied to, Lin Wanwan clicked on Lu Shouyue's dialog box.
The record of the conversation between the two was still from a month ago, but it was a coincidence that as soon as she clicked on it, a message came from the other side.
"Wanwan, I'm having a party at Laiyue Bar today, all day long, are you free to show your face?"
Lin Wanwan did not reply immediately because she had not yet decided whether to go.
She put down her phone, walked to the window and looked at the gray sky outside.
"Hey! Do I want to participate or not?" Lin Wanwan was hesitant between participating in hand-delivering the gift herself or asking her cousin Su Yanwei to do it for her.
In fact, she didn't want to face Lu Shouyue. He didn't contact her this month, so she couldn't help but feel relieved even though she was disappointed.
After standing in front of the window for a few minutes to sort out her thoughts, but still unable to figure it out, Lin Wanwan simply turned around and left the room, and went downstairs to walk her dog.
Now that she has German Shepherd Fugui, Lin Wanwan has to take time to walk it every day, otherwise it will suddenly withdraw from the high-intensity training and become idle and will be very disappointed.
While she was still in the house without opening the door, Fugui, who had sharp ears, heard her footsteps. He stood up smartly, got out of the warm dog house, came to the balcony of the airy dog villa, and stared at the door.
The next second, the electronic lock on the door clicked, the door opened, and Lin Wanwan appeared in front of her.
Fugui lowered his head and grabbed the leash, ran towards Lin Wanwan and handed it to her hand.
Lin Wanwan reached out to take it, rubbed Fugui's dog's head, and said with a smile: "How smart! Let's go, the snow has stopped now, I will take you for a walk."
Fugui tied the leash and one person and the dog walked out of the villa. Fugui didn't forget to turn around and pick up the courtyard door handle to close the door.
This trained dog's sense of responsibility is really unrivaled. Lin Wanwan looked at Fugui's actions like an old mother and was very pleased.
There are many people in the community who get up early to exercise, and the cold snowy weather cannot stop them.
Aunts and uncles generally sleep lightly, and they gather in the sports equipment area of the community at five or six o'clock. People practice Tai Chi, people sing, and people play the erhu. It's very lively.
That is to say, the villa area is mostly populated by aunts and uncles like this. If a few more young people come in, they will be overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle this morning.
Lin Wanwan led Fugui as she walked around the road in the community. Seven or eight out of ten people she met along the way knew each other. They were either old neighbors in the countryside or members of the Lin clan.
"Wanwan, you got up early enough, are you here to walk Fugui again?"
"Ang, yes!"
"Your family is rich and smart. When he gives birth to puppies, give me one to raise."
"Ah, my Fugui is a male dog and can't give birth to puppies."
Lin Wanwan walked along, chatting casually with the aunts and uncles she knew.
Fugui is actually not that interested in walking, but it is better than being locked up in the yard.
Lin Wanwan didn't have any daily tasks to give it, and there were almost no guests at home, so it was idle.
Lin Wanwan is not the only household with dogs in this community. Since the two theft incidents last month, the number of dogs in the community has increased again.
Therefore, we often encounter them when walking our dogs.
It is a habit of rural people to walk their dogs without a leash.
No, when passing an artificial lake in the community, Fugui watched a golden retriever without a leash slowly crossing the bridge. He immediately barked "woof, woof" twice, then bit back his leash from Lin Wanwan's hand, and jumped up.
Jump to the other side of the artificial lake which is no more than 1 meter wide.
After jumping, he barked "woof woof" at the golden retriever on the bridge twice, jumped back, jumped over again, and jumped horizontally again and again.
Golden Retriever squatted on the bridge, looking at Fugui with a confused and aggrieved face, as if he had been hurt ten thousand times.
Lin Wanwan and the owner of the golden retriever not far away couldn't help laughing when they saw this. The owner of the golden retriever even excitedly took out his mobile phone and took a video of the two dogs. While filming, he said: "The thief is so funny, Alas, take the video."
Play Douyin!”
Fugui despised the golden retriever who had to rely on the bridge after crossing the artificial lake. He picked up his leash and handed it back to Lin Wanwan. He raised his head and walked away, looking arrogant and not getting along with stupid dogs.
"Oh, your dog is so smart!" The owner of the golden retriever sighed excitedly.
"Yes." Lin Wanwan responded with a faint smile, and led Fugui home.
It's daybreak now, and today's dog walking time is over.
After returning to the yard, Lin Wanwan took off the leash around Fugui's neck, and he consciously took it back to his dog villa.
Climbing upstairs and picking up her phone again, Lin Wanwan had already made her decision: "I'm sorry, Teacher Lu, I'm not feeling well today and can't attend the party. I wish you a happy birthday, and may you have this day every year, every year!"
After sending it, you can see that the other party is still typing, but after a while there is no movement, not even a reply.
Lin Wanwan closed the conversation with him and dialed her cousin Su Yanwei's phone number.
"Sister Wanwan, what's wrong? Call me early in the morning."
"Can you take the day off today? I have something to ask you for help."
"I happen to have a scheduled shift today and have a break. Tell me what's going on."
"Today is Teacher Lu's birthday. He is holding an all-day party at Lai Yue Bar on the Bund. Please send me a gift."
"Ah? Sister Wanwan, aren't you going to Mr. Lu's birthday party?"
"Well, don't go. If he asks, you will say that I am sick. You can help me give the gift, and be sure to deliver it to him personally. The gift is more expensive."
"Oh, okay...but Sister Wanwan, why don't you go? Mr. Lu is very good."
Su Yanwei really couldn't understand Lin Wanwan's thoughts. Not to mention that Lu Shouyue was Lu Xingjian's son, his own career was very impressive, and he was tall, handsome, and had a good temper.
As a third-generation rich man, he still keeps his integrity. His sister actually wants to reject such a high-quality man who is one of a kind in a million?!
Yes, even if Lin Wanwan didn't say it, since she claimed to be sick and refused to attend the other party's birthday party, the meaning was already very obvious.
Su Yanwei is not stupid. Sales people know how to read words and listen to hidden sounds.
Lin Wanwan sighed: "Don't ask. When you get up, come to my house to get the gift."
"Oh, okay. I'll contact you later." Su Yanwei really felt that it was a pity that Lu Shouyue was more worthy of his cousin!
Some people will regret it once they miss it!
Chen Yan, who stayed in his rental house last night, heard the conversation from the missed phone call and asked in surprise: "Your cousin had a conflict with Lu Shouyue?"
"Maybe, I don't know."
Chen Yan rolled her eyes and asked again: "What gift do you want to give me? Can I go with you?"
Su Yanwei smiled and refused: "No, I'll be back after sending you off. Besides, you still have to go to work. I'll send you to work in a while, and then go to Sister Wanwan's house."
