Chapter 55

Zhen Bao felt that when Fu Ming Shi was in a good mood, he would be gentler than when he was jealous. He was like a continuous rain, falling on her constantly. Zhen Bao was powerless to resist, and accepted all his kisses and passion.

There were two beeps from Zhen Bao's phone on the bedside table. Someone had sent her a WeChat message. Zhen Bao finally showed the intention of reaching for her phone. Fu Ming Shi pressed down on her, marching in silence like drums of war. It was as if he wanted to embed her into the bed. Zhen Bao felt like an ant, collapsing in a mess.

After it was over, he kissed her hair contentedly.

Zhen Bao was like she had just been fished out of the water, her whole body dripping wet.

Fu Ming Shi touched the sheets and smiled hoarsely, teasing her, "Let’s change the sheets later."

Zhen Bao was embarrassed and furious. It was clearly him taking advantage, yet he still laughed at her afterwards.

"Give me the phone," Zhen Bao looked at the phone again after resting enough.

Fu Ming Shi was still lying on her. He reached out to grab the phone and handed it to Zhen Bao. As he tilted his head wanting to see who sent the message, Zhen Bao had just unlocked her phone and his phone rang too. Fu Ming Shi ignored it and saw a girl's profile picture. Only then did he answer the call.

It was a business partner who called. Fu Ming Shi kissed Zhen Bao and slowly propped himself up. At the moment they separated, his dark eyes stared at Zhen Bao appreciatively. Zhen Bao pulled the quilt over her head. Only then did Fu Ming Shi laugh and walk to the living room.

He talked business while Zhen Bao moved to a dry spot next to him. Leaning against the pillow, she looked at the messages.

It turned out to be Zhang Ke’s ex-girlfriend Hua Fang asking her about the daily care details of Da Bai who had canine distemper.

Zhen Bao couldn't help but be curious. "Da Bai is at your place?"

Earlier in the day, Zhang Ke came to the hospital alone. Dr. Li told him that Da Bai's condition was not very optimistic. The hospital could only provide conservative treatment. If the owner could accompany Da Bai for a long time and give Da Bai spiritual support, it would be somewhat helpful, just like some human illnesses where the will to live and mental state affect the development of the disease. After Da Bai completed today's conservative treatment, Zhang Ke took Da Bai home. Zhen Bao didn't expect that in just half a day, Da Bai was now at Hua Fang's place.

Hua Fang: Yes, I'll send you a picture. Zhen Bao: Okay.

The photo came very quickly. In it, Hua Fang was sitting on the sofa with Da Bai's head resting on her owner's lap. Da Bai was still listless, but his fur was groomed clean and tidy. He had turned back into the beautiful Samoyed that Zhen Bao was familiar with. It was clear that Hua Fang cared a lot about Da Bai.

Zhen Bao had documents on caring for canine distemper in her phone. She sent them to Hua Fang first, then voice chatted.

As they chatted, the topic finally turned to their personal lives. Hua Fang first asked Zhen Bao how things were going with Fu Ming Shi. After all, there was so much uproar online originally that Hua Fang, being in China, knew very well. Zhen Bao talked briefly about herself, then cautiously asked Hua Fang, "Did you and Zhang Ke break up?"

Hua Fang typed "yes", then sent over a longer voice message.

Hua Fang was a girl from the countryside who started dating Zhang Ke, a man from Beijing, during college. They moved in together during their internship in the fourth year and got Da Bai. The year before last, Zhang Ke took Hua Fang home to meet his parents. Zhang Ke’s mother showed strong dislike towards Hua Fang. After half a year with no improvement, Hua Fang took the initiative to suggest breaking up.

Zhang Ke didn't agree, but he couldn't stop Hua Fang from moving out. He could only keep Da Bai, hoping to use Da Bai to win Hua Fang back. Unable to get past his parents, Hua Fang made a clean break. Soon after the breakup she met a new dating partner. By the end of last year they even got their marriage certificate.

Zhang Ke gave up. This year, at the introduction of his parents, he started dating Gao Xiao.

Yesterday, when he learned that Da Bai had canine distemper and hadn't returned to China yet, Zhang Ke first contacted Hua Fang, hoping that Hua Fang would help take care of Da Bai. Zhang Ke's parents didn't like Da Bai. Zhang Ke still had to continue his business trip and really didn't have time. Leaving Da Bai entirely to the pet hospital also made him uneasy.

"Your husband doesn't mind you taking care of Da Bai?" Zhen Bao asked in surprise. After all, it was an ex-boyfriend's dog.

Hua Fang sent over a few opportunistic laughs. "I told Zhang Ke that I would only take care of Da Bai if he gave Da Bai to me. Otherwise, no deal. Humph, if it wasn't for him buying Da Bai with his money originally, when we broke up I would have taken Da Bai with me. Now he has let Da Bai get so sick, it’s pissing me off." Zhen Bao quickly reassured her and saw Fu Ming Shi coming back. Zhen Bao had not put her clothes back on yet so she quickly pulled the quilt back up again.

On the other end, Hua Fang had to continue accompanying Da Bai. She made an appointment with Zhen Bao to meet tomorrow.

"Roommate?" Fu Ming Shi pressed down on his fiancée, whether intentional or not, his chin just happened to rest on Zhen Bao's chest, lightly touching her.

Zhen Bao shook her head and first took precautionary posture before gossiping with Fu Ming Shi. She was quite emotional internally. A couple broke up because the parents didn't approve, and each had their own ending. Only poor Da Bai. The male owner didn't have time to take care of it, and the new female owner didn't like it either, making it sick all over.

Fu Ming Shi wasn't interested in other people's relationships. He kissed her, "Shall we take a bath, or lie down a little longer?"

Zhen Bao looked up and met the man's dark eyes floating with ambiguous light. She decisively chose to take a bath.

Fu Ming Shi smiled and carried her to the bathroom.

The bed had its bedroom charm, and the bathroom had its own wonder. The next day, Zhen Bao met Hua Fang's current husband. He was a little chubby but adorably so, holding Da Bai and following Hua Fang with a concerned expression, as if holding his son. According to Hua Fang’s introduction, he was a professional gamer with decent income. The two had already bought a house in Beijing.

Zhen Bao was truly happy for Hua Fang.

Da Bai also seemed very satisfied with his new male owner. His body slowly recovered. A month later, Hua Fang and her husband brought Da Bai in for a follow-up visit. The test results came out showing Da Bai was completely cured. As soon as he regained his freedom, he immediately ran to the owner to act coquettish. Zhen Bao squatted down to pet Da Bai and Da Bai even gave her an enthusiastic dog lick.

After sending the family of three away, Zhen Bao was in a good mood. During her break she sent Fu Ming Shi a message to share the good news.

Fu Ming Shi: Celebrate at the villa tonight?

Zhen Bao smiled: No.

They had already spent two full days at the villa over the weekend. Today was just Tuesday. She needed rest.

Fu Ming Shi: Are you thinking too much? I just want to take you out for a meal.

Zhen Bao didn't believe him at all. After chatting some meaningless daily trivialities with her fiancé, Zhen Bao sat in her chair browsing Weibo. Because her fiancé was Fu Ming Shi, Zhen Bao's number of fans kept rising steadily. She would also receive all kinds of random DMs from unfollowed people every day. When bored, Zhen Bao would usually open them and take a look, just looking, not replying.

Glancing down, when she saw the last person's nickname, Zhen Bao's heartbeat suddenly stalled. She confirmed she didn't read it wrong. Zhen Bao pursed her lips and opened the DM from "Feng Bao".

The other party sent quite a few segments in a row. Zhen Bao started reading from the first message.

"Feng Bao, I'm your mother. I don't know if you still want to recognize me..."

Suddenly Zhen Bao couldn't read on. Because she knew, this sender really was Wang Xiu.

Since her background was made public, people claiming to be "Wang Xiu" had contacted her one after another. Some left contact details, some directly asked her for money, but whether these people came to harass her or Fu Ming Shi, they all called her Zhen Bao. The media did not publicly disclose her childhood name, so the one who called her Feng Bao...

Closing Weibo, Zhen Bao put away her phone and went to see the pets in the ward.

No matter what Wang Xiu said, she didn't want to read it, at least not now.

The author has something to say: Waa, posting a bit first. There will be another chapter around midnight. Thank you to the editor's little whip!
