Coincidentally, Lu Xingzhi, who Jiang Yao continued to think of in her heart, gave her a call. Jiang Yao slowed her car before she picked up the call. Then, she said in an unfriendly tone, “What do you want?”

Lu Xingzhi had just arrived home. When he saw Jiang Yao’s missed call on his phone, he had called her back. He was a little surprised; the moment she picked up his call, her voice sounded as if she had eaten explosives.

“You didn’t come back at noon? I went on a mission today and just got home.” After Lu Xingzhi said that, he paused and asked tentatively, “How was the shopping trip in the city?”

“I bought a lot of things. I can’t carry them by myself. Wait for me downstairs in about 40 minutes to help me carry them,” Jiang Yao said. “I’m driving now, so I can’t talk to you anymore.”

“Okay.” Lu Xingzhi knew that it was no big deal when Jiang Yao could still order him around. In the end, he reminded her, “The road is slippery in the cold weather. Drive slowly.”

Jiang Yao acknowledged his advice and then put her phone back into her pocket. Mrs Lin teased her, “He must have called because he didn’t see you at home. It looks like Sergeant Lu is not as cold as other people believed.”

Jiang Yao smiled when she thought of how Lu Xingzhi liked to nag and stick to her. Her husband behaved differently with her and other people.

About 40 minutes later, Jiang Yao drove into the compound. However, she already saw Lu Xingzhi’s figure before they reached her building. He stood at the side, and he had a rope in his hand.

“Sergeant Lu is waiting for you at the entrance?” Mrs Yang was envious. “The other men in our army can’t even compare to our cold and hard Sergeant Lu.”

Jiang Yao’s attention was on the rope in Lu Xingzhi’s hand. It looked like a pet dog’s leash. She wondered why Lu Xingzhi had it. Then, the man looked and waved at her when she was only a few meters away.

The car stopped beside Lu Xingzhi. Jiang Yao took a closer look and realized that it was Moe.

At that moment, she saw Moe lying on the ground weakly. He looked like he had nothing to live for and wanted to die immediately.

Jiang Yao unfastened her seatbelt and jumped out of the car hurriedly. She jogged over to Lu Xingzhi and pointed at the thing in his hand. She asked him, “Can you tell me what you’re doing? Why do you have this thing at home?”

“You mean this leash? I bought it on the way back. It’s pink. I think you’ll like this color.” Lu Xingzhi handed the leash to Jiang Yao. “You’re not at home. I had nothing to do, so I came downstairs to walk the cat. I’ve walked it to the door.”

After he said that, Lu Xingzhi dragged Moe and said in disdain, “Is your pet dumb? Other people’s dogs jump happily when they go downstairs. It looks like a crippled cat; I had to drag it around. It’s so cold now; doesn’t it know that running and jumping will keep it warm?”

Lu Xingzhi’s disdain came from the bottom of his heart. He squatted and poked at Moe’s forehead with his finger. “Look at how silly it is! It’s still lying on the ground in such cold weather. It hadn’t changed its position from the door until there. I dragged it for half an hour, and it still looks like it’s dead.”

Jiang Yao had never felt so sorry for Moe before that. She was so angry that her cheeks were puffy. She glared at Lu Xingzhi and quickly picked Moe up from the ground. She yelled at Lu Xingzhi, “You’re the dumb one! It’s fine if you want to walk a dog. Why would you walk the cat?”
