Chapter 8,
Hearing the anxious call in his ear, Duan Jingze slowly opened his eyes and said in a weak voice, "Why are you here?"
Hearing the other party's weak words, the little chinchilla tentatively arched the back of Duan Jingze's hand, lowered his dark eyes, and whispered, "I wanted to ask you what to eat tomorrow morning, but I guessed outside the door that you were not feeling well, so I just rushed in without knocking, sorry."
After finishing speaking, the little Totoro looked at Duan Jingze's pale cheeks with concern, frowned and asked seriously, "Brother, are you sick?"
Duan Jingze closed his eyes again, his pale lips moved slightly, fine sweat broke out on his plump forehead, and he replied, "It's okay, just a little problem."
The little Totoro knows that Duan Jingze is the divine beast Bai Ze, how could such a powerful monster be so weak because of a small problem?
It seems that the disease is a bit serious.
Little Totoro didn't know how to comfort Duan Jingze, so he had no choice but to lift up his short legs, walk up to Duan Jingze's open palm, nestled himself into a ball and lay on top of it, and rubbed his furry head against his wrist to express his love for him. comfort.
At this time, Jingze's monster power is weak, and his body seems to be collapsed, unable to move.
Feeling the strangeness in the palm of his hand, Duan Jingze forcefully opened his eyes, seeing the round little ash ball in front of him, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Due to his status and instinct, he is unwilling to show his vulnerable side to outsiders.
So, he said softly, "Okay, go back to sleep, I'm fine."
Little Totoro was not satisfied with this proposal.He raised his chin, his long beard swayed back and forth, and stretched out his short arm to wrap around Duan Jingze's wrist, rubbing it again.
Suddenly, he smiled brightly: "Brother, everyone always says that after listening to my singing, I feel much better. Shall I sing you a song?"
"Well... I can also sing English songs. I'll leave after I finish singing for you, okay?"
Seeing that the little chinchilla was so determined, Duan Jingze closed his eyes and responded obediently.
After getting the consent, the little chinchilla stood up stiffly, cleared its throat, stood on tiptoe in the palm of Duan Jingze's palm, and swayed its two small arms, ready to perform.
"owo three go!"
The little chinchilla jumped up, with its left paw akimbo, and its right paw stretched out in front of it, twisting its buttocks with the rhythm.
"Cut for a while and time flows slowly~" (Note)
"Flowing into the moonlight and rippling slightly~"
The little chinchilla has a lot of expressions and movements. From time to time, it pretends to be rafting on the lake, dances the chinchilla dance steps created by itself, and twists and turns in the palm of Duan Jingze. The fat body is very flexible, but a little funny.
Slowly, a special fragrance spread around Duan Jingze's nose and gradually spread.
This kind of fragrance is like the fragrance of flowers, but not completely. It seems that it can go straight to the depths of people's hearts, making the unhappiness in the bottom of the heart gradually blur, and then take advantage of the owner's unpreparedness, seal it up, and soothe the bad mood and anxiety in the body.
Although Duan Jingze was still not feeling well, his mood improved a lot.
After singing a song, the little chinchilla panted heavily, and asked tentatively with its bright eyes bent: "Brother, are you in a better mood?"
Duan Jingze chuckled lightly: "Bei Qiao, what good do you gain from laughing at me to death? What era is "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond" from?"
Seeing that Duan Jingze's tone finally relaxed a lot, Little Totoro replied proudly, "Because you are older, brother, so I deliberately chose older songs."
The shallow smile at the corner of his mouth gradually froze, Duan Jingze glanced at the little chinchilla, turned his palms, drove him off, and said forcefully, "Thank you, I'm going to rest."
"Okay." Little Totoro muttered dissatisfiedly with his small hands, "When I feel better, drive me away. Hmph!"
"Bei Qiao, what are you muttering about?"
The sudden voice behind him made Bei Qiao tremble all over in fright, she hurriedly let go of her feet and ran out of the bedroom, waving her hands guiltily: "No... I didn't say anything."
The next morning, when Duan Jingze woke up and walked to the living room, breakfast was already prepared on the dining table.
Although there is only a simple glass of milk and a few slices of bread.
And the little chinchilla stood on the pink placemat on the dining table, tilted his head and shouted: "Hurry up and eat."
"You prepared it?" Duan Jingze casually picked up the bread bag, looked at the rows of neat tooth marks on it, and asked in puzzlement, "This is it?"
The little chinchilla scratched its head embarrassingly, "The bread bag is too heavy to carry, it is held in its teeth."
Duan Jingze: "..."
Looking at the drool on the bread bag with disgust, Duan Jingze twirled his fingers and said, "Don't bother in the future, just make an appointment for breakfast with the apartment."
"Good~"
The little chinchilla had already sat down on the dinner plate and took a big bite of the bread, pointing to the side of the bread contentedly: "Brother, look, Crescent Moon."
Duan Jingze glanced up, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile: "Hurry up and eat."
Duan Jingze's breakfast time is very precious. In addition to watching the latest financial news and stock market trends, he also has to deal with company affairs from time to time, so that he is always busy during breakfast and has no time to chat with Totoro.
After the little chinchilla finished eating, it stared at Duan Jingze intently.
Duan Jingze should go to work in the company today, right?Doesn't that mean he is the only demon at home alone?
So, the little chinchilla wondered when he would resume his old business and continue to sell and sing. After all, Duan Jingze couldn't let Duan Jingze work hard to support his family alone.
Before going out, Duan Jingze stood at the door and hesitated for a while.He lowered his head and looked at the little dust ball beside the shoe, and said, "If you are bored during the day, you can play with the spirits, don't cause trouble."
The little chinchilla said obediently: "I know."
At the end, Duan Jingze spoke quickly, "Thank you last night."
Before the little chinchilla could react, he quickly opened the door and left.
It took a long time for the little chinchilla to understand the meaning of this sentence.
"Hey, the big demon is really shy."
Little Totoro hummed a little tune, looked at everything at home curiously, and was about to find something to do.
……
Here, after Duan Jingze went to work, he became busy non-stop.
The morning meeting, high-level meeting, and agreement on cooperation proposals are the same.
This year, the Duan Group has gradually dabbled in the entertainment industry, acquiring the leader of the entertainment industry, Phantom Entertainment, and has the ambition to create its own entertainment empire.
After a busy day, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
Duan Jingze's eyes were tired and he was about to go home when he suddenly received a dinner invitation from his friends.
The black commercial vehicle stopped at the entrance of a high-end guild hall. Duan Jingze was tall and slender, wearing a coat, with a dignified appearance.
In the box, three men were chatting, and a monthly monster newspaper with the largest circulation was thrown on the table.
The headline on the front page of the monthly newspaper introduced Duan Jingze and Bei Qiao's marriage.
Ji Yanzhi took a sip of champagne and smiled meaningfully: "When Jing Ze comes over, let's ask him how he felt on the wedding night."
The man next to him with noble temperament and cold appearance replied: "If you want to ask you, don't drag me to death together."
The person who spoke was Xu Tingyan, whose original form was a Qilin beast, who was also a great demon guarding the world of demons in all directions.
The identity in modern society is the founder of bhg music.
"Brother Jingze doesn't like this marriage, so don't mention it." Bai Xianyan looked at the door, waiting for Duan Jingze to arrive.
Bai Xianyan, the hottest star in the entertainment industry at the moment, this year a movie even swept the film festival, won the Best Actor crown, the stars are shining brightly.
His original form is the white tiger, and he has known several people for thousands of years.
Ji Yanzhi picked up the monthly newspaper again, squinting his long and narrow Danfeng eyes and joked: "Although the little chinchilla of Jingze's family is dirty, it looks cute, but I don't know if it will be handsome when it becomes a human in the future?"
Bai Xianyan's tone was flat: "Anyway, the two of them will sign a divorce agreement again in a year. It doesn't matter whether the little monster looks good in human form."
Xu Tingyan, who had been silent all this time, smiled, "What if the little monster grows up to overwhelm the country and captivate Jingze?"
Bai Xianyan was stunned, the hand holding the water glass tightened a bit, and agreed: "Maybe."
The door of the box was opened by the waiter. After entering, Duan Jingze took off his coat casually, walked over and leaned lazily on the sofa, raised his eyes and asked, "Why do you want to have dinner together today?"
Ji Yanzhi smiled and said, "The annual Surprised Demon Market is about to open in the evening, let's go and see what's new."
"Can there be something good."
Duan Jingze casually glanced at the monthly newspaper on the table, and when he saw himself in a suit and leather shoes and the little gray ball beside him in the photo, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said with disgust, "boring."
Bai Xianyan pursed her lips, gestured for the waiter to bring up a glass of wine that Duan Jingze often drank, and stared at him intently.
Bai Xianyan was born beautiful, with excellent facial features.People in the entertainment industry often say that no matter how stunning a beauty is, she will be overshadowed by a man named Bai Yingdi.
"Why are you always staring at me?" Duan Jingze took the wine and said something indifferent.
Bai Xianyan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Who is staring at you? Narcissism."
Duan Jingze didn't continue this topic, and he and Xu Tingyan started chatting about business matters.
After dinner, several people drove to Jingqi Night Market.
This year's Jingqi Night Market is in full swing, and the number of merchants alone has increased by 50% compared to last year.
All the rare art treasures in the demon world can be bought here.
When passing by a building called Love Pet, Duan Jingze was stopped by the vendor's slogan.
Everyone turned their gazes inside, and rows of exquisite and beautiful pet villas were scattered in front of them.
Seeing that the business was coming, the merchant hurried forward to introduce how high-end their pet villa is.
Ji Yanzhi on the side said: "Jingze, do you think the small villa inside is suitable for your little chinchilla to live in? It looks quite luxurious, and it is specially built for small monsters. Do you want to give it to him?"
Duan Jingze looked over, looked at the small swings outside the villa, the fountain, the evergreen lawn and garden pet playground, and said in silence for a while: "No."
Looking at the back of Duan Jingze leaving, Bai Xianyan said from the side: "When did you see Brother Jingze give someone something?"
Ji Yanzhi shrugged, followed slowly, and echoed: "Yeah, why would Mr. Bai Ze take the initiative to give others things? Others are eager to ask for good fortune, and they can't even line up."
After shopping around for a while, Duan Jingze got tired and left first with an excuse.
Before leaving, he came to the pet building again and stared at the small villa inside.
……
With a "click", the fantasy door opened.
The little chinchilla happily ran over with the slippers in its mouth, ready to welcome Duan Jingze home.
However, it was indeed a stranger who came into view.
The man moved the most luxurious pet villa in the store, and asked the man behind him: "Mr. Duan, where do you put the villa?"
