Sheng Liang gently hugged her and said softly: "What's mine is yours. That shop, consider it as my birthday present to you in advance."

Qi Luo was still a little dissatisfied as she came out of Sheng Liang's embrace and looked at him suspiciously: "Why did you send me off earlier? Don't you want to celebrate my birthday with me?"

"No," Sheng Liang didn't know how to answer so he changed the topic, "It's getting late, you should go sleep."

Although Qi Luo was not too satisfied with his attitude, she could see the exhaustion on Sheng Liang's face.

Sheng Liang nodded and watched her go upstairs. He stood in his original position for a while, until he saw Qing Qing walking in through the glass door. He pouted his lips and asked unhappily: "What's wrong?"

Qing Qing did not look at him either and lowered his head. It was as if he had hesitated for a long time before he finally spoke, "Sir, you should go check on the commander.

"Is he sick?" Sheng Liang asked while walking out.

Qing Qing did not answer, but when Sheng Liang turned to look at her, he saw anger in her eyes, and frowned.

Sheng Liang pushed open the door and walked into the commander's small house. The commander who was originally lying on the cushion ran over the moment he saw Sheng Liang, although his posture was a little strange.

Hearing the Commander's aggrieved cry, Sheng Liang crouched down and gently held onto the Commander's hind leg with one hand. That leg drooped, and it was obviously fractured: "What is going on?"

Qing Qing pursed his lips, hesitated a bit and said: "It was because of Miss Qi. When she waved at the commander, the commander did not go over, but instead called out to her.

Sheng Liang sighed lightly, he caressed the fur on the commander's body, as if comforting it.

If only the Miss Qiao was here, the commander would like the Miss Qiao. The Miss Qiao gave it a bath, made it dog food and even brought it to play on the grass. Qing Qing said at the side. The more he said, the more he missed Qiao Xuan, "Sir, can't I let Miss Qiao come back?"

Sheng Liang stroked the commander's hand for a while, then said softly: "Go to sleep."

Qing Qing still wanted to say something, but seeing Sheng Liang getting up to get the medicine box and help the commander bandage his wounds, the figure of his back looked a little lonely. Just like when Qiao Xuan wasn't here yet, she turned around and walked out silently.

Sheng Liang fixed the commander's broken leg with bandages, looked at it for a while, then asked: "Do you miss her?"

Commander Wang shouted twice as if he was sure.

Sheng Liang was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

As if he understood something, the commander ignored the injury on his leg and wagged his tail happily, following Sheng Liang out.

Sheng Liang drove to the outside of Qiao Xuan's district. Seeing that her window's light was still on, he took out his phone and was about to call her, only then did he remember that she had pulled him down.

He got out of the car and grabbed the man who was walking past him. He took the phone from the man and was about to curse at him when he stuffed several hundred yuan bills into the man's hand. "Use the phone and return it to you later."

The man looked at the money in his hand and immediately checked if it was real. Then he smiled and moved to the side, "There's no need to return it, please do so."

Just as Qiao Xuan was about to turn off the light, she heard a cellphone ring. She picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number: "Hello, may I know who it is?"

"It's me," Sheng Liang did his best to suppress something, and said with a deep voice. "I'm at the entrance of your residential complex, can I come out for a moment?"

From the moment she heard Sheng Liang's voice, Qiao Xuan's uncontrollable heartbeat had quickened. She immediately jumped off the bed, walked to the window and opened the curtain. She truly saw Sheng Liang standing in the midst of the cold wind, raising her head to look at her.

There were ten thousand reasons to prevent her from going down, but her body was far more honest than her thoughts. She hurriedly put on a thick coat and ran out of the room with the cotton dragging, not even closing the door behind her.

Qiao Nan, who was still watching TV in the living room, saw her run out like the wind. He took out the lollipop in his mouth and asked: "Sis, what are you doing?"

Qiao Xuan did not reply, she had already taken the elevator down the floor very quickly, passed through the small plaza, and ran to the entrance of the small district. However, when she was almost in front of Sheng Liang, she slowed down her footsteps and stopped not far away from him: "What are you looking for me for?"

Sheng Liang looked at her. Although he would hear reports about her everyday and Xu Yi would send him videos, he still felt that it was a long time since he had seen her standing right in front of him.

Seeing that Sheng Liang did not answer and only continued to watch her, Qiao Xuan's face reddened as he lowered his head to tuck in the hair beside his ear: "If there's nothing else, then I'll be going back."

"Qiao Xuan." Seeing her turn around, Sheng Liang called out, "Can you do me a favor?"

Although it was from an inquiring tone, Sheng Liang didn't wait for Qiao Xuan's reply before opening the car door. The commander jumped down from the car, and upon seeing Qiao Xuan, he immediately pounced on her, and started wuwu sounds out loud, as if he was wronged.

Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment, he touched the commander's head and looked at Sheng Liang: "What do you mean?"

"He misses you." Sheng Liang still looked at her without blinking, a smile that even he himself did not realise was revealed in his eyes.

Although he was talking about the commander thinking about her, Qiao Xuan still felt his face burning when he saw the commander's gaze. He quickly looked away, but when he looked down, he saw the commander's leg that was wrapped in bandages: "What's going on?"

Sheng Liang did not say who Qi Luo was, but he casually said, "He accidentally fell."

Qiao Xuan stroked his commander's fur painfully. "Then, bring it to me …"

Without waiting for Qiao Xuan to finish speaking, Sheng Liang had already said: "Can you help me take care of it for a while? I've been really busy recently."

He was very busy, but didn't he have Qi Luo at home? Didn't he have Qing Qing as well?

But Qiao Xuan did not expose them, or perhaps they all needed an excuse: "Alright."

"Thank you." Sheng Liang said politely, but he had already known that this was the result.

Qiao Xuan brought the commander upstairs, and when they entered the house, seeing that even her parents had come out, she said embarrassedly: "Sorry to disturb you guys."

Qiao’s mother looked at the commander she was holding and asked: "Whose dog is this?"

"This isn't —" Qiao Nan ran over and cried out in shock.

Qiao Xuan immediately pinched Qiao Nan's arm, smiled and said to his parents: "A friend's home, he has some matters, and needs my help to take care of them for a few days."

"But, you're just pregnant. It's not good to have a dog, right?" The Qiao’s mother said worriedly.

"It's only been a few days. I'll pay attention." Qiao Xuan led the commander to the balcony, and then called out to Qiao Nan, "Xiao Nan, come and help me."
