The only downside to a big house was never being able to find anyone.
Ding Ding put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher and made two rounds upstairs and down before finally spotting Bai Congming watering the flowers in the courtyard.
In weather this cold, who knew how he had managed to water them and soak a ring around his trouser legs.
Ding Ding hauled him inside and hurried him off to change his trousers.

Ding Ding did not know what had gotten into
