It was the next day, time to go home again.

Liu Sanlang felt that thehe ladies at work looked at him differently. It might be his illusion though.

He left the office as soon as it was time, standing at the reception area to pretend that he was waiting for someone. Shi Shi, Zhao Qi and a few girls left the company together, talking and laughing. Shi Shi didn't even look at him when she left.

Immediately he felt as if the sky turned gray. There was nothing left in his heart but sorrow. Did Shi Shi forget about their conversation last night? Is she just joking with him?

At this time, Ye Yu and Bei Feng walked out of the office together. They looked like they were heading the right direction.

”Sir, see you tomorrow!” Ye Yu waved at him. He forced a smile as a response.

He got home, put on his slippers and laid on the couch, sad. He closed his eyes. His body and brain were tired, and so was his heart.

Umm...?

He smelled something. What was it?

The labrador puppy whined.

Opening his eyes, he saw the puppy was trapped in the corner inside the rails with its nose and mouth sticking out. Its front paws were outside of the rails, waving, showing only one message: it wanted to get out.

There were layers of old newspapers underneath it. There was some poop here and there, yellowish and soft, with various shapes and smells… Oh no… He didn't want to smell the poop!

Sh*t! This dog can sh*t!

He stood up, feeling exhausted, lifted it up, checked if its paws had gotten any poop on them, and then placed him on the floor carefully. He stepped inside the rails, covered his nose with one hand and picked up the old paper with the other.

The labrador puppy started running around happily once it got out of the rails. It sniffed as it ran around.

”Don't poop on the floor, okay?” he said.

At this time, someone rang the doorbell.

”Coming,” he replied. The package he ordered yesterday should arrive any minute, so he thought it was the delivery guy.

He stepped out of the rails and ran towards the door.

Shi Shi was standing outside, wearing a knitted hat and scarf which covered most of her face. She was looking around impatiently.

Stunned, Liu Sanlang stood at the door with newspaper-wrapped dog waste in his hand.

”Hey, are you going to invite me inside?” Shi Shi asked.

”P…Please!” He made room for her, ”I… I didn't know you were coming over. I thought you were going out with your besties…” He thought he overheard them when they walked out of the company. Weren't they going somewhere together? Maybe going to the spa?

”Oh! Annoying!” Shi Shi took off her hat and scarf and started making her way inside the apartment, ”We made a plan and then Zhao Qi blew us off all of a sudden. Watching from the camera, she found that there might be something wrong with her cat so she had to go. Another girl left for a hot date with her boyfriend… She kept saying that guys are rubbish but she left as soon as her boyfriend called her! That's not fair!”

Looking at the simple interior, she asked casually, ”Do you lease this place? How much is rent?”

”No, it is not a lease. I bought this apartment,” he followed her, tightly, and said.

”You bought it?” Shi Shi sounded suspicious.

Liu Sanlang nodded, ”Yeah. Have to pay a mortgage every month. This apartment is going to be my home when I get married.” He emphasized the last sentence.

Shi Shi replied without thinking. She didn't seem to care about his implications. Looking at the newspaper in his hand, she asked, ”Why are you walking around with newspaper?”
