[The pet he keeps is very smart, you will know it after seeing it a few times.]
In Nai Minami's memory, when Uesugi Maaya said this sentence to her, she just regarded it as an insignificant remark in the conversation and just listened to it, as if it had passed her ears.
But today, she really saw it.
Lin Zengxian finished work and returned to his apartment last night.
I heard he was sick.
Therefore, Mingjing Nan gave up his short rest of the day, greeted his agent, brought a gift, and pressed the doorbell of Lin Zengxian's apartment.
"Hello, senior."
Although she saw Mingjing Nan on the access control screen, when the door actually opened, Kim Taeyeon still felt some unexplainable novelty and exploration.
This very young woman was standing in the entrance hall wearing a solid-color short coat and skirt, bowing to her politely.
As a well-known senior in the industry, Kim Taeyeon has met many juniors who saluted her in private in life. Many of them seemed a little nervous with the awe of their seniors, or their movements were short and fast, indicating flattery.
Different from meeting at work, the words and actions at this time are based on a person's character.
Mingnan's aura has a poise that belies her age. Although this person is bending down and bowing, it gives the impression that she is still orderly and straight.
Although I am respectful, I am not afraid at all. It is completely different from the way I followed my teammates when we met on the TV station.
The gentle yet distant voice had a textbook ups and downs in tone, neither fast nor slow.
There was a polite smile in her eyes, which only expressed respect, not intimacy, and kept a distance.
Moreover, Kim Taeyeon couldn't detect that this person was even slightly surprised or curious about her appearance at Lin Zengxian's home. Not to mention asking her, even her expression didn't change at all, as if she was air and didn't matter where she appeared.
It's worth wondering.
"Ah hello."
Kim Taeyeon raised her chin slightly and nodded. She looked like a senior, but actually she felt a little scratched in her heart.
After all, this is not her own apartment.
Although she wanted to greet the guests for Lin Zengxian, who was coaxed and pushed back to the bedroom to sleep, she couldn't even take out the guests' slippers.
She came here from next door wearing slippers and didn't think about this issue at all.
"Woo..."
Sparkling made a sound while chewing a pair of brand new slippers that had not yet been unpacked. He ran to Kim Taeyeon's legs and rubbed them, wagging his tail.
"Good boy, so well behaved."
Leaning down to take the slippers, Kim Taeyeon smiled and touched Hua Hua's head.
Hua Hua didn't know Najing Nan, so she was able to bring the slippers over now, probably because she opened the door and showed hospitality to the guests, right?
"Thank you, senior."
Putting on his slippers, Najingnan walked to Hua Hua and squatted down, looking at this "particularly smart pet" with inquiring eyes.
Hua Hua was not timid either. He sat on the floor and looked into Minjing Nan's eyes, not relying on the familiar Kim Taeyeon at all.
"Are you a spark?"
Najingnan folded his arms and showed a non-alienating smile on his face.
When it came to the name "Hua Hua", Mingnan deliberately changed into Chinese whose pronunciation had not yet been perfected.
"Woof!"
Sparks remained motionless and screamed.
"Thank you."
Najing Nan stretched out his hand, palm upward.
Huo Huo tilted his head, stretched out his front palm and placed it on Najing Nan's hand.
In Kim Taeyeon's memory, when she first met Hu Hua, Hua Hua ignored her handshake.
However, Hua Hua was too quiet towards Mingjing Nan. He did not rub her legs like when he first met her, and finally settled between her and Lin Zengxian. He was obviously more at ease and closer to her, so that later on
The first time she took care of Lin Zengxian's spark, the guy didn't show any concern at all and would even wag his tail at her.
Probably no one except Lin Zengxian could understand what Hua Hua was thinking.
"It is not afraid of strangers and will not shout easily. Dr. Lin taught it very well."
Pointing to the sofa with clear meaning, Kim Taeyeon took out a brand new cup and poured a cup of tea for Mingjing Nan.
She didn't know how to make tea herself, so Lin Zengxian made a pot of tea before going to bed and asked her to drink it slowly.
"Thank you, senior."
Neither formal nor warm, Mingnan sat down on the sofa, took the cup with both hands, and just looked straight ahead quietly, not looking around, showing no curiosity as if he were a guest for the first time.
"Wait a moment. I'll call Dr. Lin. He's sleeping in the bedroom."
Kim Taeyeon thinks clearly about what she wants to do and what she can actually do. She can help Lin Zengxian welcome the guests in, but she cannot decide whether Lin Zengxian meets the guests, especially when the person in front of her has been with Lin Zengxian.
After seeing Ulsan Port together, I thought of Lin Zengxian's family background. This person probably did not come from an ordinary family. I wonder if the visit at this time was just to visit a patient.
"Thanks."
Without any hesitation or thought, Mingjing Nan immediately gave Kim Taeyeon a typical smile, obviously agreeing with Kim Taeyeon's approach of waking up the sick Lin Zengxian.
This made Kim Taeyeon feel a little surprised.
This person knew that Lin Zengxian was ill, so now he should at least refuse to be polite, or show a little hesitation and ask her not to wake Lin Zengxian first.
After getting up and walking to Lin Zengxian's bedroom, Kim Taeyeon shook her head and shook those thoughts out of her mind.
This man named Ming Jingnan was Lin Zengxian's friend. He was free to think and act however he wanted.
Holding the doorknob firmly and twisting it gently, Kim Taeyeon walked into the bedroom and found that Lin Zengxian had woken up at some point and was sitting on the bed, holding her mobile phone in her hand, her eyes hanging lightly in front of her.
Is this guy in a daze when he wakes up?
Looking at Lin Zengxian's stunned look, Kim Taeyeon gently closed the door, pursed her lips, and suppressed her smile.
"how do you feel?"
Unlike sitting on a chair before, Kim Taeyeon sat on the edge of the bed this time, looking at Lin Zengxian's eyes in trance, and reached out to pat the back of his hand.
"Thank you, I thought you had gone back."
Lin Zengxian blinked, trying to wake up his drowsy brain, but the light smell of white rose perfume on the person next to him made him feel like he was still in a dream.
"A visitor is coming."
After gently patting the quilt, seeing that Lin Zengxian still couldn't cheer up, Kim Taeyeon raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Nai?"
Rubbing his forehead, Lin Zengxian said a question, but he got out of bed with determination and stepped on his slippers.
"Are you so sure? You two have telepathy."
Rolling her eyes, Kim Taeyeon smiled and gritted her teeth at Lin Zengxian's back.
"Theo just sent me a message, so I guess if there are guests coming, Nai will come to see me."
Lin Zengxian threw the phone on the bed and was about to walk to the door. He suddenly paused, turned around and reached out to hold Kim Taeyeon's head.
Then, she twisted her beautiful blond hair into a "chicken coop".
"ah!"
"This is the hairstyle a fool should have."
"You are the stupid one!"
…
In the living room, Mingjing Nanduan was sitting on the sofa, quietly drinking tea.
Before coming, the Duchess of Danzig sent her a message, letting her gradually understand the outline of Lin Zengxian's deployment of the cooperative company.
