In Every Life [Jenlisa]

Chapter 24

The night in the city was silent and still.

Lisa lay in bed with his eyes tightly closed, his furrowed brow revealing the intoxication of his emotions. It was already the second night in a row that he had dreamt of the girl.

The hazy and beautiful dream was like a light and fluffy cloud, and he lay inside it, almost feeling his blood vessels bursting with comfort. The cold and lonely winter night outside the window was forgotten.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the room, and Lisa opened his eyes, feeling the dampness beneath him.

He almost closed his eyes in self-disgust. The kiss from the night before seemed to have been etched into his soul.

He had almost forgotten how he had made it home that day. All he remembered was that in his dream that night, he had done even more outrageous things.

The sound of water flowing from the sink was loud, and his hands were numb from the forceful scrubbing. Looking at the bedsheet in his hand, a sense of self-disgust and shame quietly crept into his heart.

The veins on his cold, pale hand trembled slightly, and he wished he could slap himself hard.

Every movement and every breath in his dream seemed like a violation of the girl.

He hated these uncontrollable dreams and despised the shameless version of himself in them.

The bathroom door was slammed twice. "Are you done? You've been in there for so long, don't other people need to use it?"

"Okay, okay." Lisa tidied up a bit and hurriedly walked out.

On the second day of the New Year's holiday, Jennie slept until noon.

The household servants were all on vacation, and her parents and brother were busy with their own things, not coming home for several days.

Jennie made herself a cup of honey water, opened her phone, and prepared to order takeout. She was having a bit of decision-making difficulty, flipping through options for a long time without being able to make up her mind.

Sitting on the small balcony on the second floor, basking in the warm afternoon sun, Jennie stretched lazily.

"Woof woof woof." A burst of urgent barking broke out.

Jennie lowered her gaze and saw three little dogs in the garden next door on the first floor, fighting over something, chasing and biting each other, making a mess.

In just a few seconds, Jisoo rushed in wearing pajamas, grabbing the back of two of the little dogs' necks and shouting loudly, "What are you all barking for? Be quiet!"

The two little dogs were caught by their necks, flailing their limbs, while the little dog on the ground stuck out its front paws, constantly tugging at his pants, whimpering in grievance.

Fortunately, they all quieted down.

Jennie poked her head out and shouted at him, "Did your little Hu give birth? Why are there suddenly so many of them?"

Jisoo looked up, the noon sun shining brightly.

He squinted his eyes and said loudly, "Yes, she gave birth to three little babies. They're so active that I want to tear down the house."

The two yellow little golden retrievers were still jumping around.

Jennie said, "Are golden retrievers always this lively?"

"Who knows, maybe they mutated," Jisoo gently put down the two golden retrievers.

Perhaps they had learned their lesson, the three little puppies didn't make any more noise and ran off quietly like chickens.
