Quick Travel: Destiny for Thirty Lifetimes

"Apple! We're going out!" Lian Qingyang shouted at the door holding a rope. As soon as he finished speaking, a white figure jumped out of a room on the first floor. A Samoyed that was just as tall as his calf was waiting obediently for him to put the rope on it.

He found the apple next to a trash can on the street a week ago. It was lying next to the trash can, its body dirty, but its eyes bright, and an apple core in its mouth.

Lian Qingyang took out an apple from the bag and gave it to it. It opened its mouth to release the apple core, stood up and ran to stand in front of him, nodded its head to the ground, signaling Lian Qingyang to put the apple on the ground, and then took the apple in its mouth and hid aside to chew it.

Lian Qingyang stood by and watched it finish its bite. It howled softly at him a few times, as if to say thank you. He squatted over and took out another apple: "I'll give you another one. After you finish this, come home with me, okay?"

The dirty puppy tilted its head, not understanding why this human still gave it delicious food. In the past, it was always driven away when it asked humans for food. It had traveled to many places, and no one had ever given it an extra piece of food.

This human is so nice! Can I follow him?

The puppy's bright eyes became moist. It let out a howl and grabbed the second food of the day. Instead of running away, it finished the food in front of the squatting human.

After it finished chewing the apple core, it looked up at the human and stood up and walked away. "Thank you, good human," the puppy whimpered.

The human stopped after walking a few steps and looked back at it. It instantly pricked up its ears and wagged its tail. It tentatively followed the human for a few steps. It didn't know how long it followed him. When it came to its senses, it had already arrived at the human's yard.

I followed him into the living room with my short legs, and he put me in the water to wash me clean. Then I fell asleep on the sofa with a fragrant body.

If this is a dream, please let me stay in the dream forever!

During this week, Lian Qingyang was busy giving Pingguo a physical check-up, buying food, toys and a nest, and Pingguo followed him around with her tail wagging, being as clingy as the little fool Qi Chen.

Lian Qingyang put a leash on Apple, and the man and the dog strolled along the street. When they were free from the busy state, their longing for Qi Chen grew wildly, and Qi Chen's appearance dominated his mind.

It's been almost a month since Qi Chen left. After Qi Chen left, Lian Qingyang ate the cake alone, celebrated the New Year alone, posted Spring Festival couplets and set off firecrackers alone, and watched many movies alone. He used to do all these things alone, but now he always feels a sense of loneliness and solitude.

He would receive text messages from that unfamiliar number every few days, each one containing brief greetings and concern. Qi Chen told him that personal electronic devices were not allowed to be brought with him during missions, as this was their dedicated phone.

He never asked 999 to report Qi Chen's itinerary unless there was a major danger. Now it seems that everything is fine.

Lian Qingyang’s birthday is coming soon. He didn’t plan to buy a cake and couldn’t finish it all by himself. Fortunately, he had Apple to accompany him on his birthday.

"Apple!" Lian Qingyang half-lay on the sofa, put the computer aside, and waited for the apple to fall into his arms and then ravaged it.

Ever since he discovered the joy of rubbing his dog, every time Lian Qingyang finishes typing, he calls Apple over to rub it for a few minutes to restore his energy.

"Tomorrow is my birthday. What do you want to eat, Apple? Let's go to the supermarket, okay? Hmm? Let me rub you again, you're so cute!" When Apple heard the word "going out", her tail wagged rapidly, trying to break free from Lian Qingyang's arms and grab the rope.

Small dogs are allowed in the nearby fruit and vegetable market, and apples of this size are now allowed in. Every time I go there, the owners will pat my head and give me fruit to eat, so I love going to the market very much, and I will run towards the market as soon as I take a walk.

"Xiao Yang is here! Come here, Apple, uncle will give you something delicious!"

"Come to Auntie's place, there's meat to eat!"

"Come here, sister will give you food too!"

...

As soon as Apple entered, as expected, everyone rushed to feed it. It had become very familiar with these bosses. It ran to each of them to let them touch the food, and then ate it with its mouth. If the bosses couldn't feed it, they would put the food in the shopping basket that Lian Qingyang was holding.

The fruit and vegetable market is like a small bazaar. After entering the gate, you can carry a basket or push a small cart. Each stall charges its own fee and there is no need to settle the bill when you leave. Naturally, you don’t have to pay for the money given by the boss.

Lian Qingyang planned to make some delicious food this time, so he bought a lot of extra vegetables.

"Xiao Yang, isn't A Chen back yet?" The person who asked him was an aunt who took good care of him. When he first came here to live, she would always give him more vegetables when he came to buy them. She would also pull him aside to show her concern when she came to buy them. She was very happy to see him and Qi Chen coming to buy vegetables, and said that Xiao Yang finally had someone to keep him company.

When asked why he came alone, Lian Qingyang said that Qi Chen was on a business trip abroad. It has been almost a month now, and his aunt is very worried, afraid that he has been cheated.

"It's almost there. There was an accident with Achen, so it was delayed."

"That's fine. Tomorrow is your birthday. Take these dishes home and cook them. Don't let yourself get away with it."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Auntie."

"Go back quickly and stop wandering around outside. It's still a bit cold!"

"Well, Auntie, you should go back early too. Come to our house for dinner when you have time."

"Good good."

After going out, Lian Qingyang looked at the sky which was getting dark, and walked home with Apple. Apple was having a lot of fun even in the cold weather, and this temperature was not too cold for it.

Following the light of the street lamp, I walked with my head down. When I was almost at the door of my house, Apple, who was running in front, stopped and started barking at the door.

Lian Qingyang raised his head and saw a figure standing under the streetlight. The figure saw him look up, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he opened his arms towards him: "Come, let me hug you."

Lian Qingyang was stunned for a moment. After hearing this, he put the bag in his hand on the ground, threw himself into the man's arms, stood on tiptoe and hugged his neck: "I missed you so much!"

"I miss you too, my Qingqing."

The two of them hugged each other as if blocking out the sounds from outside. Qi Chen first let go of Lian Qingyang, but found that Lian Qingyang was still trying to cling to him. He said helplessly, "Qingqing, let's go in first. Also, can you let this little white ball loosen my trouser legs first?"

Lian Qingyang looked down and saw Apple biting Qi Chen's trouser leg and pulling it out, not at all like the usual cute and affectionate Samoyed, and laughed out loud.

Qi Chen was holding one in his arms, dragging another on his legs, and carrying two bags in his hands. After Lian Qingyang entered the password, he walked into the house with steady steps.

After putting the food in the refrigerator, I freed my hands and sat on the sofa with the person in my arms: "Why are you so clingy, Qingqing?"

Lian Qingyang buried his face in Qi Chen's neck and said something insincerely: "I didn't!"

"Who is clinging to my arms now?"

"I just missed you so much."

"So I came back before your birthday. I wanted to go home and tell them, but thinking that my Qingqing was still waiting for me here, I came to see you first."

Apple couldn't stand these two people hanging around here, and kept yelling at Qi Chen, feeling angry as if his territory was being invaded.

Qi Chen turned his head to look at Tuanzi who was howling at him, and touched the head of the person in his arms: "Is the little white dog hungry? Why does he keep barking?"

"It's called Apple. It's okay. Don't worry about it. It's not time for dinner yet!"

Woof woof woof, awoof. Apple felt very aggrieved. As soon as this man came, the owner no longer paid attention to this little cutie. He had clearly held the apple in his arms and rubbed it today.

"How about we go cook? Can we eat it after dinner?" After Qi Chen finished this mission, he was notified to move behind the scenes. He had already taken care of everything and had no worries. Now all he had to do was to be happily together with his Qingqing, oh, and the dog that was biting his trouser leg to stop him.
