Chapter 37
Chapter 37
Sheng Xing fell asleep in his brother's room, and when he opened his eyes, there was no one around him, only a small note was left neatly written [Breakfast is in the refrigerator, if you want to eat it, heat it yourself] .
His biological clock has always been up very late, and he often wakes up slowly after the family has finished eating. Now that the sun is shining outside the window, he looked down at the small alarm clock on the table, it was exactly nine o'clock.
So decadent.
He stepped on his slippers and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. The man in the mirror was pale and had dark circles under his eyes.
Damn, didn't you go to bed so early last night?
He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he had already passed the age when he was youthful and invincible no matter how he tried to die.
In his early twenties, he didn't accomplish anything, and he only knew how to go to bars and flirt all day long. His brother had become the general manager of his own branch company, and his funds were still frozen by his father.
He sighed, poured out a bag of dog food into a bowl after breakfast, and took it out to feed his brother's Labrador.
The kennel was built in the yard, and the big dog was covered in milky white, so Sheng Wei casually named it Dabai, and now he is lazily lying outside the kennel basking in the sun.
Sheng Xing took the bowl containing dog food and knocked in front of it, "It's time to eat."
Dabai cocked his tail, Sheng Xing watched it eat dog food while stroking its head and teased himself, "Dabai, I'm a single dog just like you now."
"Woooo—" Dabai groaned twice, licked his fingers affectionately with his tongue, and Sheng Xing poked its ear, "Do you want me to take you out for a walk?"
Dabai is still very gentle, Sheng Xing saw that he was almost full, so he put a dog leash on him, "Little Gongju, let's go."
Taking Dabai out for a stroll in the nearby streets, his cell phone rang suddenly.
Sheng Xing was stunned when he saw the caller ID, because this person had never called him before.
It's his sister-in-law.
Could it be something urgent?
His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly picked it up. A woman's voice was crying on the other end.
His sister-in-law is a very weak little woman type, with a petite figure, who takes care of the child alone, which makes him feel pitiful.
Sheng Xing quickly comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't cry, what happened?"
"Dongdong is lost..." The sister-in-law was crying over there, "Please save him..."
Sheng Xing was in a bad mood, and couldn't help but recall the abduction case in the news. The abduction of a child can almost destroy two generations. He tried his best to calm down his voice and comfort the other party, "Sister-in-law, where are you now?" Well, tell me, have you called the police?"
The sister-in-law told her where she was, it was near the clothing store she opened, Sheng Xing took the dog home, and when she was about to drive out, she remembered that Dongdong would come to play at home every once in a while, and Dabai's sense of smell was surprisingly keen , it might be of some use, so I carried Dabai into the car with him.
When he arrived at the place, he saw his sister-in-law's eyes were red, and her voice was choked up, "Dongdong was playing in the store today, and then my clerk took him out to buy milk tea. Later, it was too crowded, so he lost it."
The clerk who lost Dongdong was still a little girl, and she almost knelt down to apologize, "Boss, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm willing to pay you any amount..."
They have already reported to the police, but there is no news from the police station. Sheng's father usually has a bad attitude towards this daughter-in-law, and Sheng's mother's phone can't be reached. They thought twice before planning to ask Sheng Xing, who is an uncle, for help. .
Dongdong's small toys are still in the store, and Sheng Xing felt uncomfortable just looking at them, so he asked about the places Dongdong used to play in the vicinity, and took Da Baizai to look for them carefully.
After all, it is not a specially trained search and rescue dog. Although Dabai can remember Dongdong's smell, it is too difficult for him to find a child in a commercial street with such a large traffic flow.
After looking for it, I walked to the branch office opened by my family without knowing it. Sheng Xing called his second brother, "Brother, Dongdong is lost, I... don't know if I should tell my parents right away." .”
Sheng's father is old, and in order to control high blood pressure, he seldom smokes or drinks. Sheng's mother, who is a grandmother, usually dotes on her grandson, and she probably faints when she hears the news.
Sheng Wei was in a meeting, and immediately came down when he heard the news, and asked him what was going on.
Sheng Xing recounted the details that his sister-in-law told him, and also mentioned the places that Dongdong usually likes to visit frequently. Sheng Wei frowned, "We have already called the police, so we can only spread the news as much as possible and ask someone to help you find it. Go back and stabilize your sister-in-law first, a single mother, don't be too hard on it."
In fact, Sheng Xing was not very close to his elder brother before, mainly due to the big age difference between the brothers, and the elder brother was in poor health, and was hospitalized every now and then, and his mother would not let the elder brother play with him, but Dongdong is the elder brother in this world after all. The only blood left behind, who usually worships himself, if he is really abducted... I can't imagine.
The most important thing to find a child is to race against time, but now this powerless situation makes him feel very sad. He can't do anything, and he can't find it blindly. He can only wait for the news from the police. He doesn't even want to go back and face himself. My sister-in-law was afraid of seeing the desperate eyes of the mother who lost her child.
Dabai also seemed to see that he was depressed, so he lay down at his feet and whimpered twice, Sheng Xing hugged Dabai, and rubbed his cheek against Dabai's fluffy head.
He was sitting on a bench by the side of the road, surrounded by commercial buildings, and this scene happened to be seen by someone standing by the window drinking water.
"Xiao Fang, Xiao Fang, are you going to eat?"
A girl in the office smiled sweetly, Fang Tianxiao looked away from the window, "No, I haven't finished, thank you, Sister Tan."
Sister Tan is actually not as old as him, but her qualifications are longer than him. It is said that she is the youngest daughter of a director.
He could even feel that Sister Tan seemed to be interested in him, always chatting with him and asking him to eat, and the colleagues around him looked at him as if he could climb high branches immediately.
It's always like this, people with high status and good family background, once they get in touch with each other, they want the other party's money and profit.
Actually not.
It's not easy to associate with people from good family backgrounds. They are always cautious and self-pitying, for fear that one inadvertent action of theirs may make the other party look down on themselves.
How cheap.
He smiled self-deprecatingly, but decided to continue working.
Sister Tan stood up and was about to persuade him, but she suddenly said "ah" out of the window, "That dog is really nice, and the owner is also nice, a handsome guy."
Her original intention was to see if Fang Tianxiao would react when she said that other men were handsome.
Unexpectedly, Fang Tianxiao stood up suddenly, and put the folders aside, "I'll go out for a while."
……
"Wow——" Dabai was probably hungry, he grabbed Sheng Xing's trouser leg, Sheng Xing tugged at the dog leash, trying to take him back to the clothing store run by his sister-in-law for a drink of water.
Dabai was walking ahead when he bumped into someone suddenly.
It barked and retreated to the side of Sheng Xing.
Sheng Xing also couldn't help taking a step back, "Why are you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Fang Tianxiao squatted down and spread his hands towards the Labrador in front of him, with a few milk tablets in his palms, "Dabai, come here."
Dabai seemed to see that the stranger in front of him had no malice towards him, and that he liked to eat this food, so he wagged his tail unconsciously.
Sheng Xing secretly complained that his dog was not up to the mark, and fell under the enemy's sugar-coated shells, and the dog's chain in his hand unconsciously loosened.
"Are you in a bad mood?" Fang Tianxiao stood up after feeding the dog, "If you disagree, hug the dog."
"Yeah." Sheng Xing was not in the mood to reason with him, and was about to leave while holding Dabai, when he passed by, he was suddenly hugged.
