Early the next morning, Tang Xu woke up from bed, hungry.

There was no other way. When he went to the kitchen last night, he only ate a few bites of the leftover vegetable porridge, and he couldn't last long.

He looked at the time, it was seven o'clock in the morning.

Most people always think about sleeping in on their rest days, but they wake up on time every rest day. The fundamental reason is that they subconsciously feel that it is a waste of time to sleep on the rest days after finally surviving the rest days.

It's true that Tang Xu woke up from hunger, but it wasn't to the point where he couldn't hold on anymore. He originally thought about going back to sleep, but suddenly he remembered that Qin Zheng still lived in his home.

The guy's ankle was sprained and he couldn't move easily. It might be difficult for him to go to the bathroom. He had to go check it out quickly.

Tang Xu got up from the bed, walked out of the room and was about to go to the guest room. Before passing through the living room, Tang Xu saw the back of Qin Zheng making breakfast in the kitchen.

Qin Zheng has a slender figure, her long chestnut hair is curled behind her head, and she wears an apron. She has the demeanor of a good wife and mother.

Tang Xu thought he had just woken up and saw something wrong. After rubbing his sleepy eyes hard, he found that it was indeed Qin Zheng standing there making breakfast.

Didn't this guy sprain his ankle?

Tang Xu walked over quickly, and happened to see Qin Zheng taking out the fried eggs from the pan. She walked back and forth in the kitchen with light steps, and Tang Xu could not see any signs of injury on her body.

"Qin Zheng, is your foot healed?"

Tang Xu walked up to Qin Zheng with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Yes, look."

Qin Zheng lifted the injured foot and twisted it back and forth very flexibly, with no serious problems.

"Good guy, Yunnan Baiyao is indeed a secret formula. It works so well..."

Tang Xu sighed. Although he didn't know why Qin Zheng recovered after only one night, this was not the point. The point was that Qin Zheng's ankle had recovered. Tang Xu felt very happy and did not bother to go.

I wonder why it got better so quickly.

"When I woke up, I found that the swelling in my ankle had subsided. Thinking of how well you took care of me yesterday and didn't have dinner, I thought of making you a breakfast."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you're fine."

Tang Xu scratched his head and stood there, looking as dazed as a koala.

"Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth. Get ready for breakfast."

"good."

Tang Xu responded and walked towards the bathroom.

The dragon cub was still sleeping soundly in the doghouse in the corner of the living room, and his sleep was considered comfortable and peaceful.

In Tang Xu's original plan, he would definitely not be able to go anywhere during the weekend in order to take care of Qin Zheng who had a sprained ankle.

Now that Qin Zheng's foot injury is healed, he can control his time freely.

After Tang Xu washed up, he came to the dining table to have breakfast with Qin Zheng.

His mobile phone also received a WeChat message from Chang Le at this time.

"Chang Le said that he happened to be passing by us in a while and would bring us our schoolbags by the way."

"Passing by? What is he going to do?"

"have no idea."

"Then you don't know how to ask?"

"Why am I asking this? He can do whatever he likes on his days off. What does it have to do with me..."

"If Chang Le were here now, he would definitely say that Brother Chu is so heartless and unjust, eh..."

"..."

Tang Xu was speechless and just bit into the sandwich made by Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng knew that Tang Xu basically had this for breakfast, so she also made a sandwich and milk combination for him, which was very considerate.

"I'm going to go home in a while, clean up the house, and do some laundry. I'll also wash the Tang Cu clothes I'm wearing now for you, and then I'll bring them back to you after they're dried.

But it’s okay to leave it at my place, in case Tang Xu comes to my house in the future, he may still have a chance to use it.”

Qin Zheng's words seemed to have some meaning. Tang Xu understood clearly, but he still deliberately pretended to be ignorant.

Qin Zheng just pursed her lips and smiled softly until she clicked.

After the two had dinner, according to the original plan, Qin Zheng took his clothes home first, while Tang Xu waited at home for Chang Le's arrival.

He was alone at home with nothing to do. He originally wanted to play games for a while, but he was not in the mood, so he simply walked around the house.

In the days when Tang Xu lived alone, he could only play games or hang out with Chang Le when he was bored. What he could do at home was very limited.

Although most people feel that when there is only one person in the home, it must be unfettered and very free, but in a quiet home with no one to talk to, it can sometimes make people feel quite lonely.

But Tang Xu doesn't just have himself at home, after all, he also has a dog.

When he was bored, Tang Xu would go and see how the dragon cub was doing. After all, the two of them depended on each other at home, so Tang Xu felt that their moods should be similar to each other.

What surprised Tang Xu was that the dragon cub was still sleeping. It lay motionless in the kennel and didn't react at all when it heard Tang Xu's footsteps approaching.

Tang Xu frowned and squatted next to the doghouse, looking at the body of the dragon cub and feeling a little strange.

The dragon cub is a very perceptive dog. In the past, even if it fell asleep, its body would make slight movements when someone passed by it. But it was different today. The dragon cub lay motionless in the kennel.

Tang Xu felt that his whole heart had hit rock bottom.

Could it be...

The dragon cub's time has come...

"Hey, dragon cub, hey, wake up, don't die..."

Tang Xu couldn't help but stretched out his hand to push the body of the dragon cub, and at the same time softly called its name.

This guy was obviously so cool when we met in the living room last night. He wouldn't have passed away early in the morning, right?

He put his finger in front of the dragon cub's nose, but he didn't feel anything...

Tang Xu pushed the dragon cub for a long time, but there was no reaction from the dragon cub. Tang Xu was anxious and flustered, and his whole body was like an ant on a hot pot spinning in circles.

In a moment of desperation, Tang Xu took out his cell phone and dialed his father's number.

"Hey, son, what's the matter?"

Tang Chu's father's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Tang Xu's tone sounded very anxious and a little crying.

"Dad, the dragon cub seems to have passed away..."

"Ha? Hahahahaha..."

When Tang Xu's father heard what Tang Xu said, his first reaction was to feel a little surprised, and then he burst into laughter.

"Dad, did you listen carefully when I was talking to you? I said the dragon cub seems to have passed away!"

"Hey, Tang Chu said that the dragon cub died early in the morning. Do you think it's funny or not?"

Tang Xu heard his father's voice talking to his mother on the other end of the phone.

"What's so funny? The dragon cub is already twenty years old, right? How many dogs can live for such a long time? Isn't it normal for them to die at the end of their lives?"

"That's it, it's a dragon cub. I still find it funny when you say that. I wonder what kind of expression the dragon cub will show when it hears you say that. Hahahaha..."

Tang Xu felt speechless for his biological father. Thinking about the fact that Long Zai had lived in this family for twenty years, he never expected that his father didn't care at all about Long Zai's life and death...

Frustrated, Tang Xu thought about waiting for Chang Le to come and help him find a feng shui treasured place to bury the dragon cub properly.

But when Tang Xu turned around, the dragon cub was standing behind him, which frightened him so much that he almost fell to the ground.

"Dad, it's okay. The dragon cub is standing up again. It may just be aestivating..."

"I'm just saying, instead of worrying about the dragon cub, you should worry about yourself. No more, I'm going to eat pot pork with your mother."

Dududu's hang-up sound came from the phone in his hand. Tang Xu threw the phone on the sofa aside, then squatted down and took the dragon cub into his arms.

The corners of Tang Xu's eyes were already wet. After all, he really thought that the dragon cub had died. For this family member who had lived in his family for twenty years, the dragon cub was of great significance to Tang Xu.

"I thought you were dead, it scared me to death..."

Tang Xu sobbed while hugging the dragon cub tightly.

Although the dragon cub initially sneered at Tang Xu's reaction, seeing Tang Xu's sincere expression, he might have felt a little soft-hearted, so he patted Tang Xu's shoulder twice with his front paws to express comfort.

This subtle movement can be regarded as showing a little warmth despite being aloof.

"I should have known that you are different from other people's dogs. You are inhumane. You won't come over to greet me as soon as I get home. You don't like to talk to me at ordinary times. It doesn't matter. As long as you are alive and well, our family

There is enough dog food, you can eat as much as you want..."

The words and sentences in Tang Xu's mouth came from the sincerity. During the days when his parents were away from home for a long time, he really regarded the dragon cub as a family member.

Not only that, Tang Xu also felt a special warmth as he held the dragon cub in his arms.

Tang Xu was still immersed in sentimentality until he lowered his head and felt that something was wrong with this warmth.

"Damn it, dragon cub, you peed on me on purpose!"
