Chapter Text
He pursed his lips until they became a thin line and felt like his body was imprisoned by an enormous accumulation of emotions. He walked to the living room, he was the only one in the whole house except for his two pets: Tofu and Queen. Both dogs lay sprawled in one corner of the room, both wagging their tails excitedly.
"Uh, Don't say anything, ok?"
Tofu barked and displaying a funny expression with his eyes closed that caused a funny sound on Queen's part, as if he was snorting and ended up giving him a light blow to the head with one of his front paws.
Jiang Cheng watch them for a few seconds and then laugh at the behavior of both dogs, both were of Samoyed breed with the only difference that Queen was mixed with German shepherd. They were also both males, but apparently that had not prevented them from forming a bond more than a simple doggy friendship.
"Tofu, I know you are happy about the news but don't say nothing to your silly master, understand?" He had sat down on the edge of the sofa and motioned for both dogs to come closer.
Tofu emitted a soft growl and approached to rub his head against the Jiang's hands, the younger male received him with many caresses on the head and behind the ears, he then took the dog by the head and indicated him to pay attention. Tofu stayed still and raised his ears, but his seriousness was short-lived and he ended up sticking out his tongue and closing his eyes, a funny and somewhat silly expression.
Woof!
Queen barked and stood next to his partner to give him what might be called a head butt later turned his gaze to his master and gave him a solemn glance, as if he were assuring him that the fool of his Tofu was not going to reveal anything; sometimes Jiang Cheng could swear that both dogs could understand him perfectly.
Perhaps it was true that pets were a reflection of their masters.
"Well, I trusted both of you." He gave each one a caress and ended up arranging the gift on the coffee table, it was a simple cardboard box with a golden bow; after all it was the content of the gift that mattered.
