A Sleeping Puppy

Upon hearing Ning Meng's words, God felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He was a young man who had never entered the workforce, still holding some pride in him. Due to that, he did not want to ask for help during all these hardships.

Yet, after hearing Ning Meng's concern for him, the icy pride that he was trying really hard to keep up started to melt.

Beaming up a smile, God said, "I'm fine. Sis, are you here to play? I'll go apply for leave today, I'll treat you a meal!"

Then, he hurried back into the club.

Ning Meng wanted to stop him but she stopped after recalling what she had seen earlier.

The puppy boy's eyes... they were like the ones she had seen in the orphanage—the eyes of the orphans who had been yearning for parental love. And so, she could not find it in her to reject the boy. 

Meanwhile, God ran upstairs to apply for a one-day leave. The manager smirked. "No. Applying for leave this abruptly is against the rules!"
