Midnight Cinderella (Ban Li Zi)

Chapter 6

He Zhiyuan came to help Jiang Ran package things.

In the afternoon, he had wanted to invite Jiang Ran to go out and eat dinner. However, Jiang Ran said she was too busy packaging and shipping out the goods. Thus, He Zhiyuan volunteered to go over and help her.

But He Zhiyuan hadn't expected that there would be so many packages before the Chinese Valentine's day. The two of them had divided up the work before working together and unwittingly worked until twelve o'clock.

Jiang Ran felt a bit sorry for him in her heart as she apologetically told him, "It's already twelve o'clock......the rest of the things I can finish packaging myself, you should go home and rest."

He Zhiyuan didn't really mind, replying, "It's fine. Fortunately I came over to help, otherwise, with so many things, you would've had to pull an all-nighter."

Jiang Ran smiled. She was just about to say something when her little dog suddenly rushed over. "Woof woof!"

He barked twice in an unfriendly manner toward He Zhiyuan. Jiang Ran quickly hugged him into her arms. "Er Huang, what are you doing? You don't recognize Big Brother He Zhiyuan anymore?"

"......" Who recognizes a Big Brother He Zhiyuan ah!

"He came here to help me pack, so how could you bark at him? So rude."

"Woof woof!" It was already midnight yet he was still staying at a single woman's house——from his observations of the past few days Jiang Ran was indeed single——in the end, did he want to help her package things or did he want to do something else? As a man himself, how could he not understand?

"Er Huang, just what are you making a fuss about?" Jiang Ran frowned as she looked at him. Because his dog biscuits were confiscated today, this fellow's mood had been very low. Just now, he had clearly been lying there and sleeping, so why did he suddenly rush over and randomly bark?

He Zhiyuan watched the interactions between these two before he gave Jiang Ran a smile. "It doesn't matter. I'll take my leave first, you should rest early too."

"Alright." Jiang Ran stood up, still hugging her struggling dog. "On another day I'll invite you out to eat to show my gratitude."

"Woof!" Why do you still have to invite him out to eat??

He Zhiyuan thought for a moment, before saying, "I just happen to be on leave the day after tomorrow, it would be better to just pick that day."

"Sure." After Jiang Ran saw him out, she walked back into her living room and proceeded to seriously educate her dog. "Dog Egg, He Zhiyuan is the benefactor who saved your life, how can you be so ferocious with him? You can't be such an ungrateful dog."

"......" The benefactor who saved his life? Could you give a summary of past events please?

As if she had understood the message in his gaze, Jiang Ran rubbed his dog head brusquely to vent out her anger. "You actually forgot? That day when I found you on the road, your whole body was covered in blood because of your wounds. No taxi driver was willing to drive us. Finally, it was He Zhiyuan who was passing by who kindly sent us to the hospital."

This event had occurred over a year ago, but once she recalled it, it was still a scene that was vivid in her mind. At that time she had just moved here. When she was going to the supermarket one day, she personally saw a stray dog getting hit by a car. The driver who had hit him immediately ran, and the wounded dog lay in the middle of the road. The dog used his dying gasps to cry out as blood continuously flowed from his body. In fact, Jiang Ran was scared pretty badly, but that dog was just too pitiful. Thus, she gathered her courage and walked over, intending to send him to the hospital.
