It’s been so long since I heard this name...it’s just the same name
That person's surname is Gu...
You can't disappear for a few years and change your last name, right?
Gu Nian thought helplessly that she was really a little confused, and anyone with a similar name would think it was him.
On her first day at work, Gu Nian did not do any heavy work. She mostly attended meetings with her seniors to familiarize herself with the work process and so on.
Even so, when it was time to get off work, Gu Nian also felt that his shoulders were a little sore.
After half past six, the atmosphere in the office finally relaxed.
"Gu Nian, let's go out to have a meal together after get off work? It feels like a welcoming ceremony!"
Gu Nian was very grateful for everyone's enthusiasm for her, and replied with a smile: "Okay, I know there is a store nearby that is very..."
Suddenly, the phone rang.
When Gu Nian saw that the caller ID was Lu Shiqian, he apologized a little, "I'm sorry, I'm going to answer the phone first."
She walked to the corridor and picked up: "Hey, what's wrong?"
Through the receiver, Lu Shiqian heard vague laughter coming from Gu Nian's end.
He thought it was a noise in the school, so he paused and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget to pick up Avada from the hospital tonight."
Avada is Lu Shiqian's dog, but he is usually busy with work, so he cares more about taking care of it.
A while ago, Avada ate the wrong thing and got gastrointestinal illness, so she was hospitalized for a week in the pet hospital.
"ah……"
Only then did Gu Nian remember that it was time to pick it up today.
But now...
She turned around and looked at her enthusiastic colleagues behind her, bit her lip and said, "Aren't you free today?"
It was obviously the dog that Si Xue left to Lu Shiqian back then, but in recent years she has become a busy dog nanny.
It's not her dog.
She and Lu Shiqian are about to divorce, so we can't expect her to continue raising Avada.
Gu Nian felt that it was time for Lu Shiqian to take responsibility himself.
What's more, today is her first day at work. She wants to seize the opportunity to build a good relationship with her colleagues. She wants to go to a dinner party.
Lu Shiqian's side was so quiet that there was no noise at all. It seemed that he didn't expect Gu Nian to say that. After a while, he said calmly: "I have an operation in twenty minutes, and it took the patient half a year to raise the money for the operation. What about you,
What's important to you?"
Gu Nian: "..."
If she is not willing now, it would be too unkind.
Gu Nian pursed her lips, feeling as if she was deflated, "I know, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Nian took a deep breath before turning back to the design room.
Colleagues were still happily discussing where to eat, but Gu Nian could only interrupt apologetically, with a forced smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I suddenly have something urgent and I have to go there. I can't have dinner with you today."
"I'll treat you to another day. It's really inconvenient today. Sorry, I have to go."
Everyone inevitably felt a little disappointed, but they could all see that Gu Nian's mood suddenly dropped.
"It's okay, let's make an appointment next time!"
…
After Gu Nian left the company, he immediately took a taxi to the pet hospital.
Avada has always come to this pet hospital when she had any problems since she was a child, so Gu Nian and Lu Shiqian knew the doctors here.
"Hello, Dr. Liu." Gu Nian said hello to the pet doctor at the front desk, "I'm here to pick up Avada."
After a while, the doctor came out leading a merle-colored border collie.
He rubbed Avada's head and said gently: "Avada, go home, your mommy will pick you up."
Immediately, he told Gu Nian: "Avada's gastrointestinal condition has just recovered. It's best not to eat hard things like dog food, but to eat soft food."
Gu Nian nodded obediently and took the traction rope, "Okay, thank you doctor."
Seeing Gu Nian coming to pick her up, Avada happily jumped on her lap and waggled her tail happily, as if she really regarded Gu Nian as her mother.
The doctor smiled at the big dog's appearance and asked smoothly: "Why did you come to pick it up by yourself? Where is your boyfriend?"
The last time I sent Avada here, we came together with two people.
Gu Nian retracted the leash, and there was no emotion in his lowered eyes. He smiled lightly and said, "We broke up."
Avada seemed to understand Gu Nian's words and nudged her calf with her head.
Gu Nian found it funny and stroked the dog's head. He raised his head and said goodbye to the doctor, "Then I'll leave first. I'll trouble you for the next few days."
After taking Avada home, Gu Nian knelt down and let it play coquettishly in her arms.
She took a closer look and saw that Avada was well cared for in the pet hospital, and her hair was brighter than before.
"Okay, okay, be honest and I'll cook for you."
One person and one dog ate dinner, then leaned on the sofa and watched a movie together.
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Lu Shiqian came back. The ends of his hair were still half wet.
I should have come back immediately after taking a shower after the operation.
Gu Nian thought to herself that he actually still missed Avada quite a bit.
Lu Shiqian stood for more than ten hours today and was so tired that he had no energy to speak.
He drank a glass of water first after entering, and got close to Avada for a while, then looked at Gu Nian on the sofa, "You are about to graduate, aren't you going to have no classes? Why are you still in school at night?"
Gu Nian didn't hide anything, "I wasn't in school at that time. I went to T-shine to report today, the first day of internship."
Lu Shiqian's brows immediately frowned.
He remembered that when they had dinner together two days ago, Gu Nian, the senior named Xu, said that he introduced her to the internship job.
Lu Shiqian leaned over and placed the water glass heavily on the table.
There was a clang.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you were going to work?"
Without Lu Shiqian opening his mouth, Gu Nian was sure that he was angry.
But, what is there to be angry about?
Gu Nian glanced at him with some confusion, "This is not a particularly important matter... You are also busy, so I don't think there is any need to tell you."
Lu Shiqian pinched his eyebrows, and after a while he said, "Didn't Dad mention before that you should go to Lu's for an internship?"
Gu Nian bit her lip, hiding the stubbornness in her eyes, and felt an indescribable feeling of powerlessness in her heart.
Does everyone, including Lu Shiqian himself, think that she should rely on him to survive?
"No need, I can rely on myself."
Gu Nian turned his head to the side and did not look at the expression on Lu Shiqian's face.
Before he could speak, she added: "Anyway, we will get divorced next week. We each have to have our own lives, and we shouldn't be involved together anymore."
What Lu Shiqian wanted to say was blocked by her indifferent answer.
He frowned, looked at Gu Nian's flawless side face, and said nothing.
Avada seemed to have sensed the unusual atmosphere at home, so she stopped jumping around and found a corner to lie down.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Gu Nian and Lu Shiqian looked over at the same time, both a little surprised.
