As if sensing Sang Ning's speechlessness, Pei Xilin changed the subject and asked her a few questions related to the contract.

Chen Song has high requirements for his film actors. Before the filming starts, he will organize several main actors and screenwriters to discuss and read the script.

Sang Ning has had time to spare since the beginning of March.

Fortunately, she is not a popular artist now, and it is not difficult for her to have a few months free.

But Pei Xilin was different.

After answering Pei Xilin's question honestly, Sang Ning asked back, "Do you two have any other work arrangements?"

Pei Xilin: "Yes."

Sang Ning was about to ask what it was, but after typing these two words, she keenly sensed that it was inappropriate.

She paused and deleted the sentence.

Just deleted, the phone vibrated.

Pei Xilin took the initiative to tell her: "In a few days, there will be a business filming abroad."

Sang Ning paused, thought for a while and replied: "Oh."

Pei Xilin: "I should return to China near the Spring Festival."

Sang Ning was startled, and wanted to ask why.

Pei Xilin's news entered the phone again: "There is a cameo appearance in a foreign movie."

This role was settled several months ago. He has not many but also many roles, and it takes nearly a month to shoot.

Sang Ning didn't quite understand what he was saying to himself in such detail.

Or rather, unwilling to understand.

While she was in a daze, Pei Xilin's message came to her again. It was a question, and she had no choice but to answer it.

He asked her about her work schedule three months ago.

Sang Ning struggled for a while, and asked back: "Why are you asking this? Many things are uncertain."

She is a newcomer, her schedule is not as tight as Pei Xilin's, and she doesn't need to make it three months or even half a year in advance.

She is the person who can temporarily fill in any job vacancy any day.

Pei Xilin: "Does this mean that you won't be joining the group in the near future?"

Sang Ning: "Yes."

Pei Xilin: "Can I ask you something."

Sang Ning was surprised: "What?"

Pei Xilin: "I want you to help me take care of the cat for a while."

Sang Ning was taken aback, completely unaware that Pei Xilin was looking for her for this matter.

She feels that calling for help with pet care goes way beyond the boundaries of friendship and beyond the current relationship between the two of them. But Sang Ning couldn't make her ruthlessly refuse.

Because she really, really likes their dog.

Sang Ning is a person who has no resistance to cats and dogs.

In the past, she always wanted to live alone one day, so she must raise a dog or a cat. Although she lives alone now, but she needs to travel around for her job, Sang Ning is afraid of neglecting the pets, afraid that she will not have time to stay with them, so she simply puts this plan on hold.

She stared at Pei Xilin's news in a daze, pondered for a long time and asked, "Can't Brother Huang Ming take care of him?"

Pei Xilin: "Huang Ming is going abroad."

Sang Ning was speechless for a while, and wanted to ask where the auntie was? As soon as this sentence was typed, she deleted it again.

Auntie can't take care of it all day. All she can do is to feed the dog and walk it in the morning and evening.

When Sang Ning hesitated, Pei Xilin said, "It's okay if it's inconvenient."

Inexplicably, Sang Ning felt that he was setting himself up.

But she still jumped in foolishly: "If it's not convenient for me, who do you plan to find to take care of the cat for you?"

Pei Xilin: "Your brother should be able to help."

Sang Ning: "."

The dialogue between the two was quiet for a long time, and Sang Ning couldn't hold back and asked, "Are you sure I can take care of it?"

Pei Xilin: "I believe in you."

Sang Ning stared at the sky speechlessly, and really felt that Pei Xilin's behavior was a bit ridiculous.

But she couldn't refuse his tea-in-cheek request.

Because she likes cats.

Even if she doesn't like it, she will agree to Pei Xilin. If she didn't help Pei Xilin, she would be too ungrateful to repay her.

In the end, Sang Ning asked Pei Xilin worriedly, would the cat come to her house?

Pei Xilin gave her an affirmative answer.

The cat likes her, how could she not want to come to her.

After the matter was settled, Sang Ning didn't think much about it.

Pei Xilin had half a month left to go abroad, and her life and work continued as usual.

But when shopping in the supermarket, Sang Ning would unconsciously go to the pet supplies area to stop.

It was okay once or twice, but the more times, Jian Hui who accompanied her to the supermarket began to feel puzzled.

That night, the two were bored and went shopping in the supermarket.

Jian Hui looked at Sang Ning for a long time, and couldn't help but ask, "What do you want for a New Year's gift?"

Sang Ning glanced at her, "You want to ask me this too?"

Jian Hui pointed, "Do you want to keep a pet? Otherwise, I'll give you a cat?"

"..."

Sang Ning blinked and looked down at her, "Why do you think I want to keep a pet?"

"What do you think?" Jian Hui glanced at her, "You have gone to the pet supplies several times in a row."

Only then did Sang Ning realize how abnormal his recent behavior was.

She groaned and touched the tip of her nose, "I won't raise it for the time being, but I will help others raise it recently."

Jian Hui was taken aback, "Who, do I know?"

"...I know." Sang Ning didn't hide it from her, and told her about Pei Xilin asking him to take care of the dog.

After listening, Jian Hui swears, and can't help feeling: "Tsk, my idol is so scheming."

She said to herself, "I know that people who have been in the industry for so long must be smart and have a heart. But my idol has too deep a heart."

Sang Ning was silent.

Jian Hui touched her with her elbow, "You should know what kind of method Teacher Pei is using to catch you."

Sang Ning was surprised by her words, coughed twice: "What way?"

"Can't you see?" Jian Hui's eyes widened, "He obviously wants to use his own dog to capture you first, so that you and the dog can develop a relationship, and it will be much easier to find you later."

While talking, Jian Hui shook her head: "Scheming man, he is so scheming."

Seeing her talking about her idol like this, Sang Ning wanted to laugh.

"Why, the filter was broken for him?"

"How is it possible." Jian Hui held her arm and said with a smile: "I think he is more attractive."

Sang Ning was puzzled, "Why?"

"Because he is trying his best to chase the person he likes." Jian Hui has reason, "He has used some tricks, but they are all aboveboard, and he feels that he is bound to win for you. Domineering, I like."

Sang Ning listened, and really couldn't understand the thoughts of Jian Hui, a star chaser.

Seeing that Sang Ning didn't speak, Jian Hui hummed, "Why, you don't like it?"

Sang Ning subconsciously wanted to say yes, but when she met Jian Hui's smiling eyes, she swallowed the words back, "Normal."

Can't say like it, but don't really hate it either.

Jian Hui's saying is very correct, it is very difficult for someone to really hate Pei Xilin after getting to know him.

Sang Ning really can't do it.

Jian Hui smiled knowingly, "Someday the dog will come."

She was curious, "I also want to see Teacher Pei's dog." She said, "I always thought he had a cat."

Pei Xilin's studio once shared an interesting story about Pei Xilin and cats.

But no photos were exposed.

It is also because of this that many people think that the cats in the studio text are real cats. No one thought that the cat mentioned in his studio was a golden retriever dog.

Thinking of this, Jian Hui couldn't help laughing, "Teacher Pei is probably one of the rare people who named a golden retriever a cat."

Sang Ning approves.

This name is enough to make everyone misunderstand.

The two returned home after shopping in the supermarket, and Jian Hui slept with Sang Ning tonight.

Before going to bed, Jian Hui expressed curiosity about Pei Xilin's dog and wanted to see the photos.

Sang Ning did not shoot last time.

Jian Hui was speechless for a while, then glanced at her, "Then ask Teacher Pei how many copies you want."

Sang Ning refused.

Jian Hui hugged her and acted like a baby.

While the two were arguing, Pei Xilin sent a message. He asked Sang Ning if he was free tomorrow. He would go abroad the day after tomorrow. If he was free, he would treat her to dinner tomorrow and hand over the dog to her by the way.

Sang Ning was hesitating, but Jian Hui urged her to reply: "Say yes! I will come to your house to sleep tomorrow night."

Sang Ning: "...you are in a hurry."

"Of course." Jian Hui said arrogantly, "Fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields. My idol will be my best friend's boyfriend in the future, so why don't I see him whenever I want? It's easy to follow stars."

Sang Ning was defeated by her reasons.

But she really had no reason to reject Pei Xilin.

Sang Ning: "If you are free, where can I eat?"

Pei Xilin: "How is my house?"

Seeing these words, before Sang Ning had time to react, Jian Hui was already rolling on the bed.

"Ah, ah, Teacher Pei is so flirtatious!" She shook Sang Ning's arm, excited, "Quickly agree!"

Sang Ning: "..."

She couldn't say it was inconvenient, considering Pei Xilin's recognizable face and figure, it wasn't safe for the two of them to go out to eat, but they could avoid a lot of trouble at home.

Sang Ning: "Okay, tonight?"

Pei Xilin: "Night."

That's it for dinner.

After settling down, Sang Ning put down the phone calmly, looked at Jian Hui, "Are you going?"

Jian Hui: "?"

She glanced at Sang Ning, "What am I going to do?"

Sang Ning: "Eat."

Jian Hui choked, "Am I going to be hated by my idol? I'm not so blind."

She refused Sang Ning without hesitation, "I won't go. I'll wait for you to come back with the dog at home."

Sang Ning: "..."

The next morning, Sang Ning went to the company.

Wen Xi told her that the promotion of a TV series in which she was a guest star was about to start, and asked her to participate in the recording of a variety show event.

When Sang Ning heard it, she was still a little excited.

She finally has a play aired.

"Are you nervous?" Wen Xi looked at her.

Sang Ning said frankly, "A little bit."

Wen Xi smiled, "After the show is finished, "Shadow" is about to enter the promotional period, but then your new movie with Pei Xilin should also be finished."

Speaking of Pei Xilin, Sang Ning thought for a while, and finally mentioned to Wen Xi about helping him raise a dog.

Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "If you like it, you can keep it. Few people have seen his dog, and generally no one will find it."

Sang Ning hummed.

Wen Xi saw her appearance at the moment, and asked with a smile: "What are you struggling with?"

Sang Ning said truthfully, "I think he... did it on purpose."

Wen Xi smiled: "I think so too."

The two looked at each other, Wen Xi smiled and patted Sang Ning on the shoulder, "If you don't feel disgusted, then maintain this relationship first, and let the rest take its course."

Sang Ning nodded.

After leaving the company, Sang Ning asked the driver to take him to Pei Xilin Community.

At the gate of the community, Sang Ning asked the driver to go back first. She will pick her up later if she needs to.

When Sang Ning arrived, the sunset was still hanging in the clouds.

The evening sun dyed a large area of ​​sky red, and she walked slowly to the door of Pei Xilin's house.

She was about to ring the bell when a dog barked from the yard.

When Sang Ning was in a daze, the door opened.

She looked up, and first saw the dog running towards her, and the people behind her.

"Taxi?" Pei Xilin glanced behind her.

Sang Ning shook his head, "I asked the driver to deliver it."

She turned her gaze away from Pei Xilin and landed on the cat rubbing against her calf.

The cat still knew her, and frantically wagged its tail at her and let out a sigh.

Sang Ning couldn't hold back, knelt down and patted its head.

"It seems to know me."

Pei Xilin raised his eyes, "It's not like."

His voice was deep, with a slight smile, "It always remembers you."

Hearing this, Sang Ning felt uncomfortable for a moment.

She looked up at Pei Xilin, "What were you doing just now?"

Pei Xilin: "Water."

Sang Ning turned her head, only then did she notice that the yard of Pei Xilin's house had been reorganized.

The side that used to have only the lawn was now fenced off and the soil turned over, but she couldn't see what was planted.

"Will you water the soil?" Sang Ning couldn't help asking.

Pei Xilin: "Yes."

He asked Sang Ning, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

Sang Ning nodded and said yes.

As the two approached, Sang Ning looked at the large piece of mud in front of him and asked curiously, "Mr. Pei, what are you doing?"

Hearing this, Pei Xilin looked at her, "Flowers."

He told Sang Ning that he had planted flowers in the yard.
