He Zhiyuan came to help Jiang Ran package things.

In the afternoon, he had wanted to invite Jiang Ran to go out and eat dinner. However, Jiang Ran said she was too busy packaging and shipping out the goods. Thus, He Zhiyuan volunteered to go over and help her.

But He Zhiyuan hadn't expected that there would be so many packages before the Chinese Valentine's day. The two of them had divided up the work before working together and unwittingly worked until twelve o'clock.

Jiang Ran felt a bit sorry for him in her heart as she apologetically told him, "It's already twelve o'clock……the rest of the things I can finish packaging myself, you should go home and rest."

He Zhiyuan didn't really mind, replying, "It's fine. Fortunately I came over to help, otherwise, with so many things, you would've had to pull an all-nighter."

Jiang Ran smiled. She was just about to say something when her little dog suddenly rushed over. "Woof woof!"

He barked twice in an unfriendly manner toward He Zhiyuan. Jiang Ran quickly hugged him into her arms. "Er Huang, what are you doing? You don't recognize Big Brother He Zhiyuan anymore?"

"……" Who recognizes a Big Brother He Zhiyuan ah!

"He came here to help me pack, so how could you bark at him? So rude."

"Woof woof!" It was already midnight yet he was still staying at a single woman's house——from his observations of the past few days Jiang Ran was indeed single——in the end, did he want to help her package things or did he want to do something else? As a man himself, how could he not understand?

"Er Huang, just what are you making a fuss about?" Jiang Ran frowned as she looked at him. Because his dog biscuits were confiscated today, this fellow's mood had been very low. Just now, he had clearly been lying there and sleeping, so why did he suddenly rush over and randomly bark?

He Zhiyuan watched the interactions between these two before he gave Jiang Ran a smile. "It doesn't matter. I'll take my leave first, you should rest early too."

"Alright." Jiang Ran stood up, still hugging her struggling dog. "On another day I'll invite you out to eat to show my grat.i.tude."

"Woof!" Why do you still have to invite him out to eat??

He Zhiyuan thought for a moment, before saying, "I just happen to be on leave the day after tomorrow, it would be better to just pick that day."

"Sure." After Jiang Ran saw him out, she walked back into her living room and proceeded to seriously educate her dog. "Dog Egg, He Zhiyuan is the benefactor who saved your life, how can you be so ferocious with him? You can't be such an ungrateful dog."

"……" The benefactor who saved his life? Could you give a summary of past events please?

As if she had understood the message in his gaze, Jiang Ran rubbed his dog head brusquely to vent out her anger. "You actually forgot? That day when I found you on the road, your whole body was covered in blood because of your wounds. No taxi driver was willing to drive us. Finally, it was He Zhiyuan who was pa.s.sing by who kindly sent us to the hospital."

This event had occurred over a year ago, but once she recalled it, it was still a scene that was vivid in her mind. At that time she had just moved here. When she was going to the supermarket one day, she personally saw a stray dog getting hit by a car. The driver who had hit him immediately ran, and the wounded dog lay in the middle of the road. The dog used his dying gasps to cry out as blood continuously flowed from his body. In fact, Jiang Ran was scared pretty badly, but that dog was just too pitiful. Thus, she gathered her courage and walked over, intending to send him to the hospital.

The result was that when taxi drivers saw this situation, they all told her that the dog could no longer survive and that she shouldn't waste so much effort. Jiang Ran couldn't bear to abandon the dog and not care about it anymore, so she kept trying to stop cars to help.

In the end, a private car stopped in front of her, and the driver was He Zhiyuan.

He sent them to the pet hospital, and then accompanied her as the people there took photos and began performing surgery. Jiang Ran felt extremely moved. He Zhiyuan and her were complete strangers, but the other was willing to lend a helping hand to save a dog. When she was on the road trying to hitch a ride, there had been people who had told her that sending a dog to the pet hospital was very expensive and that it wasn't worth it for a stray dog.

Humans not only divided themselves into different social cla.s.ses, even animals were not spared.

Fortunately, in the end this small dog managed to s.n.a.t.c.h his life from the jaws of death, and he was discharged after being hospitalized for three days.

"Therefore, you must remember his kindness forever."

"Woof." Feng Jing wagged his tail. Alright, you could consider He Zhiyuan as someone who was relatively compa.s.sionate. However, for a man to help a woman package things until midnight, you wouldn't think that was him being compa.s.sionate too, right?

Of course, Jiang Ran knew that He Zhiyuan felt something for her in that manner. In the past year, he would invite her out to play every now and then. Truthfully, the way they had met was very similar to the plotlines of popular romantic novels. However……Jiang Ran just didn't feel that way for He Zhiyuan.

Perhaps He Zhiyuan was also aware of that fact, because he had never said anything about this matter. Thus, Jiang Ran didn't know what to tell him.

"Ah, forget it. Let's not think about this anymore. Spending the whole day packaging exhausted me to death." Jiang Ran ma.s.saged her own shoulders, before reaching into her shirt, undoing her bra, and throwing it onto the couch.

Feng Jing: "…………"

Don't be so casual ah! Why is there such a difference between the you before and now?

Jiang Ran was completely oblivious to the roar of indignation in Feng Jing's heart. Instead, she walked into the kitchen and pulled out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator. "Today had been this tiring, so let's just let loose this one time." She placed the beer to the side before taking out a block of cheese. After slicing up the cheese into small pieces and placing them on a small plate, Jiang Ran walked out holding both the beer and the cheese.

She sat on the sofa and opened the refrigerated beer, taking a sip before letting out a contented sigh. "Ahh——so nice."

Feng Jing: "……"

"Let's find a movie to watch." Jiang Ran turned on the television before scrolling through the movie library. Feng Jing recalled the scene in which she had watched that ghost movie and couldn't help his eyebrow twitching.

"Hmm, what should I watch?" Everything on the first page of recommended movies were not bad. Jiang Ran took a look around before choosing the "G.o.d's Forbidden Zone 3" Mo Zhen had starred in.

"Woof!"

She hadn't pressed the confirmation b.u.t.ton when her dog suddenly rushed over, placing his paw onto the remote control and choosing the neighbouring movie "Deep Blue".

Jiang Ran: "……"

She silently lowered her head before looking at her dog. "Do you want to watch this?"

"Woof woof!" Of course. This was the first movie he had acted in. He had relied on this to win the Taurus Award for Best Supporting Male Character and the Best Newcomer Award.

"Well……alright then. In any case, I've already seen "G.o.d's Forbidden Zone 3" in theatres."

Feng Jing: "……"

So, you just haven't watched any of my movies, right?
