"Who is there?"
Meng Zhuoer looked back warily.
This alley is dim, and there is almost no meaningful light. However, after getting used to it and looking at it, you can vaguely see the outline of things.
This alley is full of debris and is a dead end, only six or seven meters long and deep.
This is also the reason why Meng Zhuoer chose this alley just now.
But the voice coming out now told her that there was someone here.
Meng Zhuoer braced himself, wondering if there might be a beggar here to take shelter from the rain, right?
She had been hungry all day and had a fight with someone. Now she really didn't have any energy to fight.
If a few more people came, she would really have no choice but to be slaughtered.
"Ouch~"
The sound of milky milk suddenly came out, and the next second I saw a small dumpling jumping out of the pile of debris.
The little dumpling went directly to Meng Zhuoer's feet and rubbed her ankles affectionately.
Meng Zhuoer was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look: "You little bastard!!!"
She was a little surprised, and she didn't think the dog was dirty, so she picked him up directly.
"Why are you here, little guy? Where is your mother?"
"Ouch~"
The little guy howled twice more, and I don't know if he was responding.
It’s hard for people to live in this world, let alone dogs.
Moreover, there are not many beggars in the capital. If there was such a stray dog, it would have been caught and eaten long ago.
"Little one, do you have no home too?"
Meng Zhuoer felt a little sad and stroked the puppy's back lovingly.
But the little puppy must have been hungry, so he started sucking Meng Zhuoer's finger.
Although he is a little puppy, this little guy doesn't even know how to use his deciduous teeth when sucking Meng Zhuoer's finger.
Meng Zhuoer sighed and wanted to go look through the pile of debris to see if there was anything that could protect the little puppy from the rain, but at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from behind her.
right.
It's footsteps.
Could it be that group of beggars coming to take revenge?
Meng Zhuoer's heart was beating wildly, and she tightened the whip in her hand.
She gritted her teeth, turned her head and threw the whip out.
"it's me."
A second before the whip was thrown out, Meng Zhuoer's hand was held by someone.
When the familiar voice came, Meng Zhuoer's eyes immediately turned red. She smiled suddenly and hugged him, feeling relieved in her heart, as if she was holding a life-saving straw.
Yue Zhiting's heart trembled, her chest felt inexplicably soft and a little aching.
Meng Zhuoer's excitement calmed down, and she let go of the other person and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I came here to see the scenery. For example, a girl who ran away from home happily picked up a dog in an alley on a rainy day."
He answered in shock.
"..." Meng Zhuoer was speechless, "What do you mean by teasing me when I'm so miserable?"
Yue Zhiting was helpless: "Then what do you mean by my coming here in the middle of the night? Could it be that I am too busy and running around outside in the heavy rain?"
Meng Zhuoer was stunned.
You mean...he came to find her?
Came here specially?
Meng Zhuoer's chest felt an indescribable ripple, and he subconsciously wiped the rainwater falling down his face.
"Don't talk about this yet, get back to the car and stay out of the rain."
Yue Zhiting said solemnly, and hurriedly pulled her away from here.
"But what to do with it?"
Meng Zhuoer looked at the little puppy in her arms.
Yue Zhiting sighed deeply, speechless, and said in a somewhat disgusted tone: "Take it with you."
Meng Zhuoer was so happy that she hurriedly followed him out of the alley with the little puppy in her arms.
Yue Zhiting came by carriage. When Meng Zhuoer got on the carriage, her feet slipped because of the rain and she almost fell. Fortunately, Yue Zhiting supported her.
"Slow down."
Meng Zhuoer nodded vigorously, supported his arm and got into the car.
Yue Zhiting's expression darkened, her expression was not good-looking, and she immediately got into the carriage.
It was warm in the car, even though there was no charcoal burning, it was much warmer than outside.
She couldn't help but put it on her hand.
Yue Zhiting took off his cloak and covered her.
Meng Zhuoer immediately said: "I'm not cold."
"Just now, when you supported me with your hand, I thought it was a piece of ice."
Yue Zhiting looked solemn, "Just put it on and don't say anything else."
When Meng Zhuoer heard this, she no longer refused pretentiously, because she was indeed quite cold.
She also felt like a popsicle.
The cloak carried a faint scent of agarwood that was unique to Yue Zhiting, as well as his body temperature that had not dissipated, making it very warm.
Meng Zhuoer almost covered herself in the man's cloak, using his body to warm herself.
"That's right, how did you come up with the idea of looking for me?" Meng Zhuoer paused and asked, "You went to Duke Meng's Mansion to look for me?"
"It was your maid Xiang Lian who found me through Xia Yu and said that Meng Xiangyi wanted to beat you to death. Then you ran away."
Meng Zhuoer shrank her neck: "The necklace is real, why do you say that? I'm shameless..."
"Why don't you face me when you're soaked in water? Since you have nowhere to go, why don't you come to me."
Yue Zhiting said with a solemn expression and a gloomy temperament, "Is it possible that if you come to see me, I will turn you away?"
Meng Zhuoer paused.
In fact, it's not that she hasn't thought about looking for Yue Zhiting, he even thought about looking for Yu Tingyin.
But after hearing such a conversation yesterday, she felt embarrassed and couldn't find the two of them.
Yes, Meng Zhuoer is the type who wants to save face and suffer.
I would rather suffer a little than be embarrassed.
"Sometimes I really don't know what's going on in your head."
Yue Zhiting seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and shook her head, looking a little annoyed with her stern expression.
Meng Zhuoer curled her lips and stopped talking, her pale face also a little aggrieved.
Seeing that his mood suddenly dropped, Yue Zhiting began to reflect on whether he had spoken too harshly.
She had been soaked in the rain for most of the day. If she didn't stay in an inn, she would definitely have no money.
"Do you want something to eat?" Yue Zhiting asked suddenly, her voice was very soft, "There are some snacks in the car."
"Snacks?" Meng Zhuoer's eyes shone, and he suddenly leaned towards Yue Zhiting, swallowing his saliva, "I want to eat, I want to eat so much, I'm almost starving to death..."
She was extremely anxious.
Yue Zhiting was stunned for a moment, and immediately took out the snacks he had prepared.
Almost the moment Yue Zhiting took out the cake, Meng Zhuoer wanted to reach out and grab it.
"Wait."
Yue Zhiting moved her hand holding the plate back, "Your hands are dirty, wipe them first, otherwise you will get sick if you eat them."
She had just picked up the dog and had been wandering outside for a day. Not only her body but also her fingernails were covered in black mud. How could she eat with such hands?
Meng Zhuoer was so hungry after not eating for a day. She looked at the cakes with greedy eyes and was so anxious that she was speechless.
Yue Zhiting saw that the child could take a piece of snack and break it into three pieces, then gave one piece to him.
Meng Zhuoer was about to take the man's hand but shrank back.
She was angry and anxious, and even wanted to cry.
"I feed you, open your mouth."
Normally, Meng Zhuoer would definitely be embarrassed. Although she was a bit arrogant, as a person who was born in a mother's womb in her past and present lives, it was very easy for her to blush.
But she was so hungry that she was in no mood to think about it.
Meng Zhuoer bit it directly, and her soft lips inevitably touched the man's calloused hand.
He was stunned for a moment.
