Midnight Cinderella

Chapter 12

When Jiang Ran came back from a walk with Er Huang, she saw a … strange man standing downstairs.

He was wearing a cap and a mask. His hands were in the pockets of his jeans, and he was looking up at the building where he lived.

This outfit was suspicious no matter how one looked at it, but Jiang Ran was unconsciously attracted by his long legs.

The man was very tall, and his straight legs were accentuated by his tight jeans. He looked very sexy.

He had a good figure, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a classic inverted triangle.

She just didn't know if he had abs and pecs under his clothes.

Wait, what was she thinking??

"Woof woof!"

Er Huang's barking seemed to have attracted his attention. The man turned his head and looked in her direction.

Jiang Ran's eyes inadvertently met his. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. What a pair of beautiful eyes.

Just being stared at by him made her feel like she was bathing in the river of love.

… What was wrong with her today?

Jiang Ran felt that it wasn't her fault. Although the man was dressed very low-key, he had an aura that couldn't be ignored. It was as if once he appeared, your eyes would be involuntarily glued to him.

"Woof woof woof." Her dog suddenly rushed forward excitedly and circled around the man's legs, barking.

"…" What was going on? Could it be that even Er Huang couldn't help but be attracted to him?

"I, I'm sorry." Jiang Ran pulled the leash in her hand, wanting to pull her dog back.

The man looked at her for a while, and his eyes curved. "It's okay."

His voice was unbelievably pleasant.

"Is this your dog?" The man squatted down and rubbed Er Huang's head.

Er Huang seemed to be very excited, and it rubbed against his big hand. "Woof woof!"

Huh?

Jiang Ran was puzzled. Er Huang was a very vigilant dog. It never got close to strangers. Why was it so close to this man?

And it was wagging its tail at him?

"Your dog is so cute." The man rubbed his Er Huang again and stood up.

Perhaps because Er Huang was close to him, Jiang Ran subconsciously felt that he was not a bad person, so he smiled at him and said, "Thank you."

The smile in the man's eyes flashed, and Jiang Ran suddenly felt that these eyes were somewhat familiar.

Where have I seen it before?

"My friend used to have a dog. Unfortunately, the dog got depression and committed suicide."

"… Huh?" Jiang Ran was stunned. He looked at him and asked, "Why?"

The man naturally showed some sadness, and even Jiang Ran was a little affected. "After his dog was sterilized, it couldn't walk out of it. In the end, it couldn't take it anymore and jumped off the building."

"…" She had heard of cats jumping off buildings, but would dogs jump off buildings too?

"Is your dog neutered?"

Jiang Ran shook his head. "Not yet."

The man sighed and said, "You have to be careful about sterilization. If the dogs have made it clear that they don't want to be sterilized, don't take them rashly.

Small animals have emotions too. "

"Oh … I see."

Jiang Ran remembered that when she mentioned sterilization last night, Er Huang fiercely opposed it, and felt that this matter should be put aside for the time being.

She smiled at the man again as a way of saying goodbye, and then took Er Huang upstairs.

Feng Jing stood outside until Jiang Ran's back completely disappeared. He took out his phone and dialed Michel's number. "Mi Xian, contact the landlord. I want to rent the house here." In the end, he added, "As soon as possible."

Michel: "…"

After Jiang Ran returned home with Er Huang, she walked to the balcony and looked down.

The man had already left.

What was he doing here?

Was he a friend of hers?

Jiang Ran thought for a while, but couldn't figure out anything, so she put this matter to the back of her mind.

After changing into a set of home clothes, Jiang Ran turned on her computer and checked WeChat messages.

The penguin hanging next to her suddenly beeped twice. Jiang Ran clicked on the interface and saw that Lan Ning was looking for her.

Broccoli: Jiang Ran, how's the translation of the magazine draft in your hand?

We've signed the simplified Chinese book 'The Last Witness' by Ken Kitano sensei. Do you have enough time?

Jiang Ran: Yes.

Jiang Ran: You guys are so fast. The Japanese version of this book seems to have just come out.

Broccoli: No choice. If you don't hurry up with this kind of book, it will be snatched up by other companies.

Broccoli: This book has a total of 200,000 words. I'll give you three months. Is that enough?

Jiang Ran: Yes.

Broccoli: Okay, then I'll give it to you. The remuneration is the same as before. I'll send the contract to you after I'm done. The manuscript will be sent to your email.

Jiang Ran: Okay.

Jiang Ran cracked her fingers. It was time to start working again.

At night, she finished counting the orders for the day and checked the logistics sent by Zhao Ke. There was a box of goods that would arrive in a few days.

She opened a shopping website and was about to browse when she saw Er Huang sneaking in again.

Today, it didn't stick to Jiang Ran. Instead, it jumped onto the bay window and lay there in a very peaceful manner.

Jiang Ran's eyebrows twitched. Was the dog embarrassed about what happened last night?

It looked so carefree during the day. It didn't seem like it would be embarrassed …

Forget it. Let's go wash the mask first.

Jiang Ran tore off the mask on her face and went to the bathroom.

Feng Jing saw her go into the bathroom and glanced at the computer.

He didn't expect that this girl would want to shop at Treasure X?

Treasure X would recommend some products based on your browsing history. Jiang Ran must have searched for products related to dog food. Now, among the things recommended for her on the homepage, there was a dog biscuit.

Feng Jing remembered that the dog had taken the blame for him last time and was deducted a biscuit. He came down from the bay window and jumped onto the chair Jiang Ran was sitting on.

He put his paw on the mouse and clicked on the details page of the dog biscuit.

The sales of this biscuit were good, and the introduction was very tempting. Feng Jing clicked on it again and added a dog biscuit to Jiang Ran's shopping cart.

He was a man who never owed anyone anything.

Jiang Ran came back after washing her face. She was about to turn off the computer and go to sleep when she suddenly found a dog biscuit in her shopping cart.

Jiang Ran: "…"

She turned her head silently and looked at Er Huang, who was sleeping on the bay window.

Er Huang was sleeping soundly and was completely unmoved.

Jiang Ran: "…"

What was going on?

Did Er Huang become a spirit?

Jiang Ran thought for a long time and finally felt that she must have added it in a trance.

But … this dog biscuit was much more expensive than the one she had always bought!

She hesitated for a moment and clicked on the bill.

After buying the biscuit, she put on her eye mask, turned off the lights, and went to sleep. "Good night, Er Huang."

Feng Jing, who was on the bay window, quietly opened his eyes and glanced at her. He was in a good mood and rubbed his front paws.

Ken Kitano was a mystery novel writer that she liked very much. However, he especially liked to use some unfamiliar words, which indirectly increased the difficulty of reading.

After reading the original text all morning, Jiang Ran had a headache. She went to the kitchen to make lunch to relax and then began to pack the packages that needed to be sent out today.

Her life had always been very regular.

After sending the delivery boy off in the afternoon, she took Er Huang out for a walk as usual.

As soon as she walked downstairs, she saw that someone seemed to be moving.

She looked around curiously and saw a man wearing a cap and a mask.

The man also saw her and walked in her direction. "Hello, we meet again."

Jiang Ran was enveloped by his strong masculine scent. Jiang Ran's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly covered up her accelerating heartbeat. "Ah, you're from yesterday … Are you moving here?"

Feng Jing nodded. "I live on the fifteenth floor. We'll be neighbors from now on."

Jiang Ran suddenly realized that he had come here yesterday to look for a house.

"Hello, I live on the seventh floor, Jiang Ran."

"I …" Feng Jing thought for a moment and said, "My surname is Feng."

He didn't say his full name, which seemed a little rude. However, Jiang Ran just smiled and didn't mind. "Do you need help?"

"No." Feng Jing looked down at the dog she was holding. "You came down to walk the dog, right?

I can handle it myself. You don't have to trouble yourself. "

"Oh, that's good."

Jiang Ran was going to leave with Er Huang, but seeing the mask on his face, she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Feng, do you have a cold?"

Feng Jing coughed at the right time. It sounded like he had caught a cold. "Well, I'm afraid of infecting others, so I've been wearing a mask. Sorry."

"I see." Jiang Ran didn't say anything else. She took Er Huang for a walk.

Feng Jing stood downstairs and looked at her until Michel came downstairs and called him. "The wardrobe will be here soon. I'll wait here. You go up first."

"Okay." Feng Jing turned around and took the elevator up.

Michel saw him leave and finally relaxed a little. She was really afraid that he would be recognized.

Moreover, he really could not understand why Feng Jing wanted to rent this house. He could tell that he did not like it very much and had even changed all the furniture provided by the landlord … … Why did he not hesitate to rent this house to such an extent???

Just as she was lost in thought, Qin Fan called. Michel immediately became very alert. "Hello, Qin Dong."

"Well, how is Feng Jing these days?"

Michel said, "After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, he is more well-behaved at night."

Qin Fan said, "Well, it seems that the psychological counseling is useful. We have made an appointment with Dr. Zhang. You will be responsible for picking him up every week."

"Okay."

"I've been busy recently, so I might not be able to take care of him. I'll leave Feng Jing to you. Let me know if anything happens."

"…" Michel swallowed the words she was about to say and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Okay, Qin Dong."
