Want to Take a Bath Together?

After taking the elevator upstairs with Qin Yun, Fang Zhou stood quietly by her side, waiting for her to unlock the door.

As soon as the door opened, an unidentified object darted out.

Fang Zhou instinctively pulled Qin Yun back and shouted, “What is that!”

He raised his foot to kick it, but Qin Yun stopped him. (tln : bro choose violence)

“Hey! Don’t move, it’s Xiao Bai!”

Fang Zhou took a closer look and saw a white Bichon Frise, looking at them innocently with its beady eyes. (tln : cute fluffy white dog, like puddle, u guys should browse it, its cute)

The next moment, it jumped up, first rubbing against Qin Yun to express its longing for its owner, then pouncing on Fang Zhou.

The enthusiastic dog licked Fang Zhou all over, seemingly very fond of him.

“This dog… is Xiao Bai?”

Fang Zhou, holding the medium-sized dog, followed Qin Yun inside.

As the lights turned on, the room instantly brightened up. The clean and tidy layout was visually pleasing, and the smart home system automatically turned on the air conditioning, drew the curtains, and played music.

Qin Yun placed her bag by the entrance, locked the door, and took off her high heels before answering Fang Zhou.

“Yes, do you remember him?”

Qin Yun’s gaze fell on the enthusiastic Xiao Bai, showing a hint of satisfaction.

Not bad, she thought. After all this time, the dog still remembered Fang Zhou.

Fang Zhou shook his head and sat on the sofa with the dog.

“How could I forget? Xiao Bai is so cute.”

This dog was a gift from Fang Zhou to Qin Yun.

At that time, Qin Yun had told him she felt lonely and wished he could spend more time with her.

But Fang Zhou had to work and couldn’t always be with his girlfriend, so he came up with an idea.

He personally went to the pet market, picked out this Bichon Frise, and gave it to Qin Yun, hoping it would make her happy.

Things turned out as Fang Zhou had hoped. Since having a pet at home, Qin Yun rarely complained about feeling lonely, though she still acted a bit clingy.

The dog naturally became a bridge that brought them closer together.

Later, when Fang Zhou and Qin Yun broke up, he left the dog with her.

He had thought that since Qin Yun hated him so much, she would either give the dog away or stop taking care of it.

But surprisingly, after all this time, she still had it and seemed to be taking good care of it.

Fang Zhou petted the dog’s head, lost in thought.

He liked small animals, but taking care of a pet required time and energy, which he couldn’t afford with his previous job, so he never had one himself.

If it weren’t for wanting to cheer up Qin Yun, he probably wouldn’t have bought Xiao Bai.

Now, the dog lay on him enthusiastically, obediently letting him pet it, its beady eyes bright and black, as if it remembered him, making Fang Zhou feel a sense of comfort.

“Xiao Bai, do you still remember me?”

Fang Zhou asked softly.

To his surprise, Xiao Bai started wagging its tail vigorously, as if answering his question.

Qin Yun, who had gone to the kitchen, returned with two glasses of water, placing them on the coffee table. She watched the interaction between Fang Zhou and the dog with a half-smile.

“Xiao Bai isn’t an ungrateful dog.”

Fang Zhou’s smile froze for a moment, thinking: Is she playing with double meanings?

“Drink some water.”

Qin Yun pointed to the water glasses, which were a couple’s set they had bought when they lived together.

Fang Zhou looked around the room and was surprised to find many traces of their past life together.

She had brought all these things when she moved?

This realization shook Fang Zhou.

As someone who had moved multiple times since graduation, each move felt like a battle, and he would throw away anything he could, only taking what was necessary.

But Qin Yun…

She had kept everything, from their used cups to their photos and handmade crafts, all intact.

This meant that even in her most emotional moments, she hadn’t destroyed them.

How deep must her feelings be to do this?

Fang Zhou was stunned until Xiao Bai licked his hand, bringing him back to reality.

He found Qin Yun staring at him, her gaze predatory like a wolf eyeing a sheep.

Fang Zhou felt a chill run down his spine. He put the dog on the sofa, coughed, and said, “I’ll go to the bathroom first.”

“Go ahead, the bathroom is over there.”

The sound of running water filled the bathroom as Fang Zhou splashed his face, feeling instantly refreshed.

The feelings stirred by Qin Yun’s thoughtful details subsided a bit.

Fang Zhou told himself: Stay calm, let the past be the past. If Qin Yun has really changed, maybe they could give it another try.

After all, no man could remain indifferent to such a scene.

“Tea is ready, want some?”

Qin Yun’s voice called from outside, urging Fang Zhou to come out.

“Coming.”

Fang Zhou dried his hands and opened the bathroom door, only to find a soft, fragrant body falling into his arms. He looked down and saw it was Qin Yun.

“What are you doing? Didn’t you say we were having tea?”

What’s with running into his arms?

“My feet hurt from standing too long. Can’t I lean on you?”

Qin Yun looked up at him with eyes like black obsidian.

Fang Zhou was speechless.

“Alright, alright, you can lean as long as you want.”

Qin Yun smiled mischievously and stood up straight.

“Hahaha, just kidding. I’m here to take a bath.”

She pointed to the living room and gently told Fang Zhou, “The tea is over there. Help yourself.”

Fang Zhou followed her finger and saw a pot of tea on the coffee table, freshly brewed by Qin Yun.

She really did invite him for tea?

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll leave?”

Fang Zhou voiced his doubt.

Qin Yun responded with a meaningful smile.

“Try leaving.”

Fang Zhou quickly shook his head, “I won’t leave, don’t worry.”

Qin Yun nodded in satisfaction and extended another invitation.

“If you don’t want tea, how about taking a bath together?”
