Chapter 2

Tang Yirou works as a receptionist at a foreign company, and she can bring her pet to work one Friday a month, and not many people really bring them. The female coworkers upstairs love cats, and when they heard that Tang Yirou had a cat they said, “Bring it by then to see ah”, and then Tang Yirou brought the cat, and they looked at it when they passed by the front desk and didn't say anything.

Liang Shibai, however, hugs the cat and says she raised it well, and Tang Yirou thinks he likes the cat.

Liang Shibai asks her why the cat ran into the elevator, and Tang Yirou says, “Maybe it's hungry and it's looking for food.”

Liang Shibai said, “I have cat food in my office, do you want it?”

Tang Yirou immediately nodded and said, “Trouble Mr. Liang.”

Liang Shibai then took her up to the thirteenth floor and went to his office.

He took out a bag of cat food from the cabinet, the top of the bag was full of English, he poured the cat food directly onto the floor, Tang Yirou smelled a fresh fish flavor, the cat's nose was better than hers, and it had long since moved over to bury its head and eat.

Liang Shibai looked at the cat with a smile on his face, and Tang Yirou said, “It's very good at eating.”

Liang Shibai said, “But not greedy.” He could see that even when the cat was eating, it still maintained a sense of alertness, ready to give up its food and run away.

Tang Yirou hurriedly said, “I picked it up, it's a wild cat.”

Liang Shibai smiled at her.

Tang Yirou didn't quite understand the meaning of this smile, but was still excited.

Liang Shibai squatted down next to the cat, and Tang Yirou surreptitiously sized him up.

On her first day at work, she was told to call him Mr. Liang when she saw him, and to bow and say, “Mr. Liang, hello.”

They told her to bow, but when they saw Liang Shibai themselves, they didn't. They thought she was a receptionist, and even though she was in the same building, she had to bow, and that was the difference between them and her; she should have been better at being respectful, and she earned her salary by being polite and smiling.

Once she went upstairs and met Liang Shibai, she called Mr. Liang hello without bowing, Liang Shibai still nodded to her and gave her a “hello” in return.

Liang Shibai was different from the kind of Mr. Liang that Tang Yirou had imagined, he was younger, wore a pair of glasses, and had a gentlemanly look, he wouldn't lightly skim over people when looking at them, and Tang Yirou felt that Mr. Liang deserved to be Mr. Liang, a lot of people in the building turned a blind eye to her or lightly skimmed over her, and she still had to smile at them.

“How long have you kept it,” Liang Shibai asked.

“About a year.”

Tang Yirou lied, the cat Du Yilan picked up not a month, just picked up when Tang Yirou lost her temper, to throw away, Du Yilan not let, very tough that do not want her to manage, the result is that one day Tang Yirou went home, all the bed linen bedding at home washed, the ground water stains have not dried up, Tang Yirou also did not say anything, Du Yilan on the crying, Tang Yirou had to take the cat to the vaccine, deworming bath, she told She told Du Yanlan that if the cat went back to bed or shat or peed in the house, she would throw it away no matter what.

But now, no matter what, she won't throw it away, and she will keep the cat well.

Liang Shibai liked this cat, he said so himself.

Tang Yirou gently looked at the cat, still thinking about what to say next. Liang Shibai spoke again, he asked, “Can you sell this cat to me?”

Tang Yirou's smile froze, and Liang Shibai looked at her, not feeling that there was anything strange about this request.

The cat lifted its head from the food, its tongue l*****g across its wet nose as it too looked at Tang Yirou.

Liu Zheng woke up with a start, he had just fallen asleep on the table, Li Xiaoyu removed his hand from his shoulder and said with a worried look on his face, “Master, why don't you rest for a while, I'll go alone at Liang Shibai's place.”

Liu Zheng shook his head to indicate that he was fine, he stood up and said, “Wait for a while, I'll go wash my face.”

Liu Zheng's face was greenish, the kind of face of someone who hadn't slept for a long time.

He went to the restroom and washed his face with cool water, came out and drove with Li Xiaoyu to Liang Shibai's company.

Liang Shibai still had the same look as the last time they met, as Liu Zheng came in, Liang Shibai stared at him and asked, “Did Officer Liu not have a good rest? ”

Liu Zheng said, “Thank you Mr. Liang for your concern, I have indeed been quite busy recently. ”

Liu Zheng sat down, looked at him, and suddenly asked, “How has Mr. Liang been sleeping lately? ”

Li Xiaoyu looked up at Liang Shibai, who was slightly stunned, but still composed himself and said, “I've always been an average sleeper. ”

Liu Zheng nodded and said, “Your wife's doctor issued her diagnostic report, she was diagnosed with depression and has been taking medication for it, do you know about this? ”

Liang Shibai said, “I don't know, this is something that I only knew after she - after her accident, I knew that she had been taking medication, but I thought that it was just ordinary medication, nutrients or something like that. ”

Liu Zheng said, “How is your couple's relationship? ”

Liang Shibai smiled bitterly, “It seems a bit unbelievable for me to say it now, but it's true that we haven't quarreled, we've been married for two years, we've always been very good, always been very good. “ He emphasized.

Liu Zheng snorted, Li Xiaoyu stopped his pen and looked up at Liu Zheng, he understood Liu Zheng, he was deliberately provoking Liang Shibai.

Liang Shibai had been acting too calm, he did not seem to be sad about his wife's death, and Liu Zheng thought that his calmness was a defense.

Liang Shibai's face remained unchanged and he only asked, “Officer Liu are you married?”

Liu Zheng said blandly, “Of course.”

Liang Shibai said, “I guess Officer Liu must be very close to his wife, you must have no secrets and never hide anything, right?”

Liu Zheng did not say anything.

Liang Shibai had been acting very cooperative, only now did he show some impatience and disgust, Liu Zheng had succeeded, he had offended him.

There was a bottom line to his cooperation, his wife's whereabouts were now unknown, and he had to accept this kind of cross-examination that contained contempt, it was not that he was not angry, it was just that his good breeding prevented him from responding out of character.

“Officer Liu, I understand that this is your job, but I also ask you to understand a little bit about how I am feeling right now, I have been very cooperative with you, I don't ask for your understanding, I just want to be treated with some respect, for me, and my wife.”

Liang Shibai stood up from his chair after saying these words, Li Xiaoyu guessed that their questioning today might have to end early.

Sure enough, Liang Shibai said, “Excuse me, I am a bit tired, two officers please go ahead.”

Liu Zheng sat still without expression, Li Xiaoyu secretly sighed and was about to get up, when Liu Zheng suddenly spoke, “Mr. Liang is wrong, it is not all secret between my wife and I. In fact, I just got divorced.” After he finished speaking, he stood up and smiled faintly at Liang Shibai.

Liang Shibai did not have any reaction as he looked at him coldly.

Liu Zheng, however, did not care and smiled, “Since Mr. Liang is tired, that's enough for today, we'll talk next time.”

Liu Zheng turned around and took the lead to walk out, Li Xiaoyu hurriedly put his book and pen into his bag, before he closed the door he turned back and saw Liang Shibai sitting back in his chair again, he turned his face away and looked out the window.

It was raining outside.
