It's night.

Professor An was in his arms with his wife in his arms, and he was in full sleep.

A light suddenly flashed outside the window, followed by a dull thunder sounded, accompanied by the drizzle of rain—

It's raining.

Professor An suddenly woke up, looked out the window, and then stood up carefully.

He tiptoed out of the bedroom, and before he could even put on his clothes, he came to the door, while the dog that seemed to have not been sleeping in the doghouse began to bark at Professor An.

"Not afraid, no fear, no fear..."

Professor An touched his right hand, as if he wanted to find an umbrella, but he didn't find it. He could only rush to the doghouse in the rain and lift the dog up.

The rain is getting heavier.

Professor An used his body to cover the rain for the dog, hugged it into his study, and then took out a blanket from a box and wrapped the dog in it:

“It might be a little cold.”

He smiled at the dog, but he sneezes.

The dog licked the back of his hand and whined, as if he was clumsy comforting.

In front of the screen.

The audience looked at this loving scene, and their eyes were filled with stars.

"Professor An is so kind."

"I feel so distressed."

"As a matter of fact, dogs are true love."

"Professor An, please stop catching a cold."

"He turned his study into a doghouse. His tolerance for his wife is actually a kind of respect. It's so great for such a man."

“…”

The female audience with relatively delicate minds seemed to be particularly touched at this moment, but Professor An's personal charm gradually became prominent with the lines and temperament, and with the creation of this plot.

This is a gentle, mature and kind man.

The dog spent a warm night in the study.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Mrs. An got up and found that Professor An was wearing glasses reading a book on the sofa in the living room.

"You got up so early today?"

"yes."

“It seemed raining yesterday.”

"Ah snee..."

"Did you catch a cold?"

Mrs. An walked towards the door suspiciously, but saw the dog staying quietly in the doghouse wagging her tail at her.

It turned out that Professor An deliberately got up early just to send the dog back to the dog's kennel in the early morning so that his wife would not find out.

His expression was calm and his acting skills were superb, and his wife could not see any flaws.

Staring at the courtyard after the heavy rain, looking at the dog again. Mrs. An bit her lip and turned around and said:

"Take some cold medicine."

“It’s already eaten.”

"Will you send it away today?"

“Yes.”

"It's better."

His wife still doesn't want the dog to stay, so Professor An can only go outside to find the dog's owner.

He posted flyers on the streets and alleys in the morning, went to the pet shelter in the afternoon to inquire about the news, and even contacted a friend who had a pet at home to ask if the other party had intentions to raise a dog...

As a result, after a few days, nothing was found.

Professor An can only continue this kind of life, taking his wife to the study while she is asleep every day? He then sent the dog back to the kennel the next morning.

On the contrary, when Professor An’s daughter came to visit her parents at home, she was attracted by the cuteness of the dog at first sight?     Surprisingly said:

"I like it! What's its name?"

Mrs. An glanced at Professor An: "It's called 'I'll send it away tomorrow'."

Professor An smiled gently.

The daughter ignored her mother's sarcasm to her father? She thought for a while and said, "How about calling her Xiao Ba?"

Professor An's smile stuttered.

Mrs. An was making coffee? She also paused suddenly, and then looked out the window at the repaired doghouse.

“Eight years.”

The daughter suddenly whispered: "Since Xiao Hei's death? It's just eight years since Xiao Hei's death. Maybe it's Xiao Hei's reincarnation. She's here to find us. We should take care of it and grow up..."

Mrs. An's expression was calm.

Professor An suddenly laughed: "Then call it Xiao Ba? What do you think, wife?"

"Anyway, it won't be long."

Mrs. An left behind the steaming coffee, turned around in a nearly embarrassing manner and buried her head between the mattresses.

After a while, Mrs. An got up and opened the drawer, and took out a photo.

The photo is a group photo of the family of three? At the feet of the three, there is a dog.

It turned out that Professor An’s family also had a dog eight years ago? It was just because of some reasons that the dog died.

Mrs. An is unwilling to raise a dog again? It is because she is afraid of taking another blow, and perhaps because of the appearance of this dog? It always reminds her of her former pet.

“So that’s how it is.”

"This is why Mrs. An is unwilling to raise a dog."

"I seem to understand it? I have a cat, but later the cat was lost and I can't find it again. I cried for a long time because of this, and since then I have never dared to keep a cat."

"Mrs. An is not that annoying either."

"Because I have given my feelings to the dog in the past, I am so resistant to the new dog. It is difficult for outsiders to understand this kind of mood."

"Does Professor An also have the purpose of bringing the dog home to comfort his wife?"

"A man like him will certainly be so attentive."

“…”

The audience seemed to have some sympathy for Mrs. An, which gradually overwhelmed Mrs. An’s indifference to dogs.

"Xiao Ba!"

The naming of his daughter made Professor An start calling the dog Xiaoba.

He tried to take the initiative to understand Xiaoba's habits and play with him. During the day, when Professor An was playing the piano, Xiaoba would listen quietly or lick the music score on the piano...

The style of this movie is very light.

The story told was not much of a stir.

But the audience did not find it boring, but instead watched it with relish. The entire cinema was filled with warmth and joy.

Everyone is willing to believe that this is a warm story of Xiao Ba's appearance soothes a warm family after eight years of losing his beloved dog.

The movie shows a flashback method in the way children tell stories.

Occasionally slow motion, long shots that add realistic sense, and warm films’ natural pursuit of depth of field lenses, tell the story of a person and a dog in the most peaceful way in the first twenty minutes.

The soundtrack began to focus on slow-paced pianos.

The dog's perspectives appear from time to time in the movie, black, white and gray, which also allows the audience to experience Xiao Ba's feelings to the greatest extent.

However, Mrs. An's knot was not so easily untied.

One afternoon half a month later.

She tried for the first time and drove Xiaoba out of the house.

As a rational woman, she does not want to be dominated by soft hearts.

Xiao Ba stood at the door, facing the closed door, from screaming, to sob, and finally lying down, but there was no sign of leaving.

At this time the camera turns into the door.

The audience was shocked to find that after Mrs. An closed the door, she did not go back to the room directly, but stood there in a daze. She was not as stern as she was.

Dusk is coming.
