That day, Yun Li's dog, the Director, was waiting at home as usual. As Yun Li walked inside, the dog wagged its tail and followed her closely.
Yun Li noticed a red rose on the living room table, with bite marks on the stem. She turned around and asked, "Did you buy this?"
The Director replied with a bark, "Woof."
Yun Li found it fascinating. "You went out by yourself?"
"Wang Wang," the dog responded.
This made Yun Li even more incredulous. She sent a message to Jiang Shiyu:
【Your dog sneaked out today.】
After putting down her phone, she placed the flower in a vase. It was a simple, solitary bloom, and she took a picture to send to Jiang Shiyu:
【The Director bought it.】
Then, without waiting for a reply, Yun Li went to pour some dog food for the Director. She had specifically bought a deep blue bowl for him. Since he ate a lot, she filled it generously and also poured some mineral water into a nearby basin for him to drink from later.
Yun Li called Shu, who was in her studio sitting at her desk with a pen in hand, designing a wedding dress. She connected the video call and set her phone on a stand.
"Look," she said.
Shu glanced over casually at the ordinary rose and asked, "Did you pick that up on the way?" Then she returned her focus to her work.
"No, the Director bought it."
Upon hearing this, Shu looked up with her dull eyes suddenly brightening with curiosity. "This dog can actually buy flowers? Has it been possessed by Jiang Shiyu? That's hilarious!" She laughed heartily.
Yun Li then shared how the Director didn't like Senior He, which made Shu burst into laughter again. Rubbing the Director's head, she teased, "You wouldn't happen to be Jiang Shiyu in disguise, would you? So protective!"
After chatting with Shu, Yun Li felt some concern about the Director going out alone and facing potential dangers. She waved at him, and he obediently walked over from his eating spot but kept a little distance before sitting down.
"You shouldn’t go out by yourself anymore, okay? You might run into bad people. Plus, if you leave the door open and a thief comes in, what will happen?"
Director Wang responded with a single sound of agreement.
Yun Li got up and patted its head, saying, "Good boy."
Around ten o'clock at night, Jiang Shiyu called while Yun Li was sitting on the sofa watching TV. She answered the phone and pointed the camera at the director, who was lying under the sofa, also watching TV.
Jiang Shiyu noticed the director's dog-like face and smirked, "Where are you? Aren't you supposed to be watching the dog? The director is right here."
"Bring your face closer; I have something to discuss with you. You can't expect me to talk to the director, can you?"
Yun Li was so engrossed in the TV that she replied nonchalantly, "Not really."
What if the director thinks I'm talking to him? Jiang Shiyu felt a bit helpless.
Reluctantly, Yun Li brought the phone closer and saw Jiang Shiyu's satisfied face. She looked like she was outside; the background was somewhat dark with some strange buildings. It wasn't an ordinary residential area or a shopping mall; it seemed to be a base!
"What’s going on? Tell me."
"Do you like flowers?"
Yun Li shifted her gaze from the TV and asked, "Are you asking the director to send them?"
Jiang Shiyu raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat pleased, and nodded in agreement.
Yun Li fell silent for a moment, focusing on the actress in the drama. In the quiet environment, the sounds from the TV became clearer.
"What do you mean by all this? I told you before that I didn’t want to see you. If it weren't for the director, I wouldn't even want to add you on WeChat."
