Two hearts that understand each other

  Zhang Jin's dessert did not disappoint the few gluttonous girls, and did not tarnish his reputation of "brother-in-law's products must be fine". It left a lasting aftertaste for several people.

  That night, Ye Meng and her three sisters, who had already started their vacation after finishing the exam, did not return home but instead went back to their dormitory. Anyway, all of their homes were in the same city, plus the girls' personalities were a bit wild, so they basically didn't miss home at all. At 10 o'clock, when the lights-out bell rang, another midnight chat session was held in Room 606 of the middle school girls' dormitory.

  "Third sister, I've decided to re-score your brother-in-law. My new score is... a perfect ten!" Big sister Guo Jin Qiu, who had once given the lowest score of seven among the four sisters, was comfortably lying in her own cozy quilt, savoring the taste while speaking.

  "Hmm, I'm going to re-score too, and the new score is also perfect! Even without that beautiful big house, just this 'disaster dinner' table is worth the score. By the way, Old Three, when can you take us to your sister's house for a free meal again?"

  Ye Meng heard the words of her two older sisters, and was overjoyed, proudly saying: "How about it? I didn't lie to you guys, did I? I said my brother-in-law's cooking is the best, but back then you guys didn't believe me. Now what do you say? Look at how eager you are, one meal and you're bought over, coming back to revise your ratings. It's really embarrassing for our 606."

  "Third sister, you're wronging me. I'm not like Second Brother, that greedy little rascal. The reason I'm so generous is because his cooking is really good! You guys didn't notice, when Third Sister's husband scooped out that lychee from her porcelain bowl and said with a smile: 'This is "a heroic smile in the red dust"'... how handsome he looked! So confident and successful, with that magnetic voice and mature smile... oh, it was simply captivating! I now realize that you don't have to be a muscle man or a hero who falls from the sky to be so charming. I've decided, if Third Sister can't handle him, I'll take matters into my own hands and let him continue being your brother-in-law. Then I'll invite you guys over for dinner often, haha..." Guo Jin's infatuation with Zhang Jing's maturity had once again revealed her "tough guy" face.

  Ye Meng panicked, if this meal created a few emotional enemies, then she would be too miscalculated. She suddenly sat up, her head poking out of the mosquito net, and said to the direction of the older sister's bed in a flustered tone: "Sister~, don't do this, how can you be such an older sister? Didn't we agree on 'a sister's husband is not to be trifled with'?"

  "Hahaha, stupid little sister. Why can't you take a joke every time we mention your brother-in-law? It's obvious that big sis is just teasing you, and you fall for it every time? You're done for, completely hopeless! ” Ye Meng's over-the-top reaction made the other three sisters laugh so hard they were rolling around on the bed, once again embarrassing Ye Meng to the point where she hid under the mosquito net and buried her head in the blankets. It was July, and even with a fan blowing constantly, the dorm room felt like a steamer basket, but Ye Meng didn't seem to care about heatstroke as she burrowed into the towel-covered blanket.

  "Clumsy old three, you don't even think about it. With just one phone call, your brother-in-law would eagerly run over to invite everyone to dinner, showing how much he spoils you. And you're not blind, are you? When he touched your hand, he was so excited, clearly having had a crush on you for a long time. I reckon if it weren't for the awkwardness of him being your younger sister's husband, he might have already made a move on you by now. These grown-ups just don't have our straightforwardness - they like someone but are too cautious and conservative to do anything about it. But don't worry, with the way those boys in school look at you, and with your title as the number one school flower, you should know how attractive you are to them. I'm sure your brother-in-law won't be able to resist for much longer either. When the time comes, just remember to get your 'boyfriend' to treat us to dinner." Guo Jin Qiu was self-righteously expounding on her own deductions.

  Although Ye Meng was so shy that she buried herself in the quilt, she didn't cover her ears. The thin towel had no soundproofing effect at all. Hearing her usually wise big sister make such a judgment, Xi couldn't help but stick her head out of the quilt again: "Really?"

  For having said something so logical, so like Di Renjie and Sherlock Holmes in his deductions, Guo Jin Qiu looked very pleased with himself. "Needless to say, trust me, your big sister is not wrong! As for the rival in love, you can rest assured, don't worry that I would stab you in the back or ruin your relationship, this pair of 'the gentleman has feelings, the lady has intentions' dog man and woman!"

  Laurie's fourth child, Chuchun, also came to cheer up Guo Jinxiu: "Right, big sister is right. I saw it when brother-in-law touched your hand, he smiled... uh... like a grey wolf catching a happy sheep."

  This is a great injustice, being wrongly accused of flirting with his young aunt.

  ***

  Zhang Jin didn't know the content of Ye Meng's sisterly heart-to-hearts, and he was even more unaware that his little aunt had developed feelings for him that bordered on the forbidden. After all, in Zhang Jin's eyes, although this young girl could already stir up a man's desires with her fiery personality, in his heart she was still the same 13 or 14-year-old little girl he had met when Red Leaf first introduced them; emotionally, she was still just the little aunt he treated like a sister.

  Although Zhang Jin thought his IQ was not low, he didn't think he could guess the thoughts of those "non-mainstream" people with strange minds. So he simply gave up exploring the reasons for their mysterious behavior. "What does it have to do with me?" He didn't even think about how things related to himself. Therefore, after Zhang Jin drove a few little girls back to school, he threw away the strange questioning and attitude of Ye Meng's sisters earlier in his mind, and hurriedly drove to the stray pet adoption center he had visited during the day.

  The dark golden pet is hard to come by, and he doesn't want someone who knows the goods to intervene and snatch it away, leaving himself with a bad outcome. Although he had already made an appointment with the person in charge beforehand, in this era of moral decay, how much is so-called integrity worth? Zhang Jin has no doubt that if someone is willing to offer a price five times higher than his own, they can easily take away the little dog.

  …………

  Shenzhen is undoubtedly one of the top car cities in the country, and at this time, around 7 or 8 pm, the entire Shennan Road was like a huge parking lot. The speed of the cars moving forward was comparable to that of a turtle crawling, making it an ideal test of patience for drivers. In the midst of the traffic jam, Zhang Jin held onto the steering wheel with one hand, his eyes darting back and forth between the congested road ahead and the small dog lying on the passenger seat, who was still fast asleep and smiling foolishly. Despite being stuck in traffic, he didn't show any signs of frustration.

  "Haha, a Dark Gold-level pet? That's something that can be nurtured into a top-notch baby that's in no way inferior to myself!" Zhang Jin looked like he had been struck by a golden ingot from the heavens, and he smiled foolishly as he muttered to himself.

  Zhang Jin should absolutely be grateful, not only because he unexpectedly picked up a top-notch baby like picking up gold coins from the trash, but also because in this distracted state, he miraculously didn't get into a car accident along the way!

  After returning home with the little dog, Zhang Jin's spirit was still a bit excited and he didn't idle around. He went back into the kitchen to start cooking again. Of course, Zhang Jin wasn't a pig, it wasn't that he wanted to prepare a midnight snack so quickly. He was preparing food for his own dark gold treasure. The little dog now was just like an infant in swaddling clothes, even if it was because of becoming his pet and being tied to the game's pet system, at least ten meals a day were necessary. As the master, Zhang Jin naturally had no excuses.

  After feeding the little dog a meal of milk, Zhang Jin felt relieved to see it curl up and fall asleep in the small nest he had specially prepared for it, and then went to take a bath and sleep.

  Before receiving Ye Meng's summons, Zhang Jin had originally planned to go to 'Benlai Bar' tonight to find a bed companion and have a good time relieving the physiological pressure that had been building up over the past few days. However, because of this sudden 'pick-up' of the dark gold puppy, he had no choice but to abandon this very tempting plan.

  The puppy is so small, can't just leave it alone at home and go out to have fun? The owner of a young pet is like the parents of an infant, having to lose some self, this awareness Zhang Jin still has.

  At three or four o'clock in the morning, when the sky was still at its darkest moment, Zhang Jin was suddenly awakened by a spiritual tremor. After opening his eyes and being slightly stunned for a moment, he carefully felt the emotions deep in his heart, which were filled with longing, and immediately realized where this tremor came from. Instantly, Zhang Jin's sleepiness disappeared, and with a sudden movement, he jumped up, turned on the room light, and hastily rushed to the small dog's sleeping den.

  According to the game's explanation, in "Wulin Three Kingdoms", every pet owner has a heart-wrenching connection with their baby, so the owner can command the pet to help them through this connection, such as fighting or searching. This connection will deepen with the increase of intimacy between the pet and the owner, as well as the improvement of the owner's taming level.

  Zhang Jin, as a top-level master trainer, coupled with the fact that the little dog he adopted today was already tamed by his techniques before it even opened its eyes, making it his own pet. The connection between humans and pets is deep, to say the least, and can be said to have reached the level of "heart-to-heart" understanding!

  Although Zhang Jin had already adopted the puppy as a pet in the stray animal shelter in the afternoon, he didn't feel any connection with it and thought that because of real-life reasons, the connection that only existed in the game no longer existed, so he didn't pay attention to it.

  But then, the connection between himself and his pet was suddenly established in his sleep, and Zhang Jin also guessed the reason after waking up for a moment. Someone once said that whether it's flying birds or walking beasts, including humans, they are born with their eyes closed, and only when they open their eyes do they have thoughts and wisdom. Before opening their eyes, their heart is closed and confused. So Zhang Jin thought that the connection between him and his pet suddenly appeared because the little dog had opened its eyes!

  As expected, when Zhang Jin approached the small dog's temporary nest after turning on the light, he was met with a pair of deep, black eyes that shone like pure and lively black gemstones. At that moment, Zhang Jin finally found the name he had been racking his brains for - Hei Shui Jing (Black Crystal), which would be the name of this precious puppy from then on.

  Zhang Jin's face lit up with joy as he picked up the little dog wagging its tail in the nest, and then put his face close to the dog's face, using his forehead against the dog's forehead, eyes facing the dog's eyes, with a loving expression said: "Little guy, from now on you'll be called Hei Shui Jing (Black Crystal), do you like this name?"

  Responding to Zhang Jin was the puppy's tender and intimate cry of "Wen'er~ Wen'er~" and the joy and affection that came from the bottom of his heart. After calling out, he also warmly licked Zhang Jin's nose, making Zhang Jin laugh happily, "I know, I know you're happy. You and I are really spiritually connected!"
