Story 42- Dido

The dog's name is Dido, which is taken from her favorite singer. She has kept it for three years. She is very docile and clever, especially pestering her.

It's a pity that Sister Ming doesn't have much time at home. It's a long way to work during the day, and she often works overtime. So she negotiated with the pet shop in the community and sent it to foster care every morning when she went to work. If she doesn't pick it up before 8 pm, she will spend the night in the pet shop, but she will definitely pick it up at the weekend.

For two whole days, it was basically a person hanging out with a dog from morning till night. People are relaxed and dogs are happy.

Dido was left by Ming Jie's ex-boyfriend Jiahe.

In fact, Ming Jie doesn't like dogs, and he is even a little afraid of dogs.

She was bitten by a dog once when she was a child. She is a neighbor's dog. She is only a few months old and looks very docile. Sister Ming is only seven years old. In fact, she didn't play with the dog. She just hung her hand beside her when she spoke. I don't know if it was eaten by the dog. She just took a bite when she came up.

It doesn't hurt too much, so it doesn't look broken. Sister Ming was afraid of being scolded by her mother and didn't mention it when she went home. It was several years before she told it to her mother as a joke.

Mom was surprised and angry at that time, and Ming Jie was beaten.

Mother chased her with tears and said, do you know that the incubation period of rabies can be as long as twenty years?

Although it was later known that this was a rumor, Ming Jie was influenced by her mother's mood. She always stayed away from dogs.

My last boyfriend Jiahe didn't have a dog either. They were together in their junior year and rented a small room outside the school to live together in their senior year. Then he proposed to have a dog together.

Ming Jie didn't like it, so she told Jiahe about her childhood.

Jiahe said with a smile, what your mother said is unscientific.

Ming Jie said, I know, but she is good for me. I am her only daughter.

Jiahe said, I understand, but you are not right. It is an abnormal overreaction. You should overcome excessive fear and anxiety. Let me desensitize your system.

Jiahe is a psychology student. He said there was not much theoretical talk, and you didn't like it. Let's just say, for example, for someone who is too afraid of cats, let her look at the photos of cats first and then talk about them. When she gets used to it, she won't be afraid, then let her touch the lifelike toy cat, then let her get close to the cat in the cage, then slowly reach out and touch it, and finally hug the cat to gradually remove the emotional reaction of being afraid of the cat.

So is he. He first replaced Ming Jie's mobile phone and computer with a dog's desktop, and often showed her some funny dog short films, and then bought her some dog dolls, which became more and more realistic. Finally, he took her to a pet shop.

The first time she went to a pet store, she saw Dido, the immature puppy, wagging her short legs and staring at her with innocent eyes. She couldn't help but reach out and pink small tongue licked it up.

She was soft-hearted.

Jiahe wrote a paper about the desensitization process of the whole system and got a good result.

Then they broke up.

Jiahe's reason is that living together has delayed the progress of his graduation thesis. It's unbearable not to live together They have to leave for a period of time for their studies and future consideration.

Sister Ming couldn't beat him, crying and asking, where's Dido?

Jiahe said, keep it, even if it's my parting gift to you.

Ming Jie said, should we leave first? How to break up?

Jiahe's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly shouted: Why don't you believe me!

Then I picked up my packed bag and left without looking back.

After a while, he didn't come back. Sister Ming's girlfriend gradually heard some rumors and made some inquiries. She hurried over to tell her that the tutor's daughter had a crush on Jiahe, and the tutor agreed to talk to him personally. He immediately claimed that he was single. When I came back that day, I broke up with Mingjie and moved back to the dormitory.

While gossiping with Ming Jie, it's not worth persuading her not to get angry.

Sister Ming touched Dido and said nothing.

In those days, she used to lie on the sofa with her dog Dido in her arms, and played the singer Dido's "Thank you" single in a loop for most of the day until she was too hungry to stand up.

Fortunately, it's all over after all.

After graduation, she didn't move, just because Dido was so familiar with the pet store that all the clerks liked it. Mingjie was most at ease in the store.

Recently, Ming Jie finally fell in love again.

His name is Bing. He and she work in the same office building and met while smoking downstairs.

After breaking up with Jiahe, Mingjie learned to smoke, but she has been very restrained. She only smokes a few cigarettes every day, and she must be outdoors, and she is a little embarrassed every time. She will go back to work as soon as possible.

Bin paid attention to her for a long time, and finally waited until she dropped the door card on the ground. He waited for her to go away before picking it up and holding it in his hand for 20 minutes. She hurried back, took the key card and thanked him.

Bin said, forget it. In fact, we smoke together here almost every day.

Ming Jie blushed and said, I only smoke a few cigarettes a day.

Bin said, there are three or four, usually one at around eleven o'clock in the morning, one at three o'clock in the afternoon and two at five o'clock.

Mingjie looked up and looked at her in surprise.

Bin said with a smile, the way you smoke is really beautiful.

He almost feels that Ming Jie is good at everything.

Sister Ming doesn't like dressing up very much. He feels fresh and natural. Ming Jie doesn't talk much and feels very gentle and calm; Ming Jie always watches American TV shows about crime, and he thinks he has a great personality. Ming Jie is not very good at cooking. He thinks it's cute.

The only problem is Dido.

He doesn't like dogs, especially the dogs left by Ming Jie's ex-boyfriend.

After listening to Ming Jie's story about Jiahe, he couldn't understand it.

He asked, do you still love him?

Ming Jie said, how is it possible.

He said, then why do you still have this dog?

Ming Jie said that you cultivated your feelings.

He said, is it feelings for people or dogs?

Ming Jie was angry, and he was not very happy, but in the end he took the initiative to coax her.

Indeed, after several arguments, Bin gave in. He walked with Ming Jie once or twice and didn't say anything.

But Dido is always a little afraid of him, not very close.

He doesn't want to eat the food fed by Bin, and he doesn't want to stay alone with him.

Bin didn't care, but often tried to feed it and tease it, and said to Mingjie, this is the systematic desensitization therapy you said, right?

Sister Ming is a little stinging. She often pretends not to hear, but can't pretend, so she mumbles.

But bin is really good to her. They live a semi-cohabitation life. He comes to stay three or four days a week to help her wash clothes, make lunch and clean the room. Since he left home to go to college, no one has ever taken care of her so well, and it makes me soft-hearted to think about it.

She even seriously considered giving Dido away.

Bing said, nothing, nothing, you can keep it if you like.

On Friday, Ming Jie invited Bin to go home together in the evening, order a takeaway and watch some new discs. He readily promised to go there after work.

It began to rain before work, and there was a faint thunder. Sister Ming found an umbrella and was about to get up when she suddenly got a call from a customer. A small matter is urgent, and she must deal with it that night.

Ming Jie hesitated, called Bin and asked him if he wanted to meet Dido.

She said it with a little regret, but there was no need to answer.

But Dido was afraid of lightning since he was a child. Usually sleep in the kennel, and be sure to sleep at Mingjie's bedside in rainy nights. When he was awakened by lightning, he would wake her in a low voice for comfort. How pathetic it would be to stay in a cage in a pet shop tonight.

Bin immediately agreed.

But when Mingjie came home from work, she met a wet bin. As soon as she saw her, she said, calm down. Be calm. On the way back, the dog rope suddenly broke and Dido suddenly disappeared. I searched the whole community several times, but I couldn't find it. I will come back and show it to the police. I'm sure I can find it. Don't worry.

There was a thunder outside the window, and Ming Jie seemed to be cut silly.

The police scanned the photos and stored them in the computer, leaving contact information and persuading them to go back first. If there is news, they will inform them in time.

Sister Ming doesn't want to leave, but the police station on a rainy night is really busy. At the same time, there were four thefts, two fights and even a murder. By contrast, Dido is nothing.

Out of the police station, she was a little out of her wits. Bin apologized and comforted, saying that she would go out to look for it at dawn, and that she would release a reward in the community and within five kilometers, and she would definitely find it.

Ming Jie Mu Mu listened, stopped suddenly, interrupted Bing and said, "Tell me the truth." .

Bin said, what makes sense?

Ming Jie said, did you let Dido go?

His eyes suddenly widened and he suddenly shouted, why don't you believe me!

Then turn around and walk, and soon disappear in the dark rainy night.

Mingjie went home crying alone, curled up on the sofa and fell asleep crying.

Dido changed back to her childhood in her sleep, waddled over and held out pink small tongue to lick her hand.

Lick, Ming Jie woke up and Dido really came back!

Bin wrapped in a big towel, sat on the carpet in front of the sofa and wiped the water off it. It can't wait to cran its neck and lick Mingjie's hanging hand.

Ming Jie sat up with a swish, which startled Bing and Dido.

Bin said, I looked for it all night and felt hopeless. I didn't expect to go back downstairs It came out of nowhere. As soon as I saw it, I jumped up and snorted, like a child.

Dido seemed to understand, turned around and licked his face.

Bin laughed and said, let's go, let's go. You always dislike me, and then you dislike me.

Sister Ming also smiled, laughing her head off.
