Chapter 15: Walking The Dog

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

She suddenly remembered that Onion had not licked her for a long time.

To be more precise, it had been a long time since it last licked her at night.

During the day, Onion would stick to her, either licking her fingers or climbing up to lick her cheeks.

However, Onion did not behave like this at night. Instead, they were more energetic and did not eat dog food or bite its teething stick. It acted more like... people.

This thought made He Miao shiver. She felt that she must be overthinking it.

Perhaps this was just Onion's personality?

He Miao did not have time to think too much about it. There was class this morning. For the sake of this monthly test, she had been studying hard every day, and finally, there was a small effect.

When she left the house, the driver had already gone to send He Feng and He Wei off.

It was said that He Wei had a shoot today, so everyone had gone as well and no one remembered that He Miao was at home.

However, she did not mind. Just as she was about to head out to hail a taxi, a figure suddenly rushed out from the corner.

He Miao jumped in fright and dodged, but the man stopped steadily in front of her and bowed respectfully.

"Miss He Miao, I'm Aunt Liu's relative. I heard that Aunt Liu has made you unhappy and caused a big trouble. I'm here to apologize on her behalf." The man took out an envelope and handed it to her. "This is your compensation."

He Miao opened the envelope suspiciously. It was exactly 10000 bucks, which surprised her.

"I know." He Miao nodded. She should accept the money, so she was not embarrassed at all.

The man watched as He Miao left, then made a call. "It's me, I've settled the matter."

The butler turned around and nodded with a smile. "Young Master, it's done."

Jing Yan looked away coldly. It was good that she accepted it. That way, the strange feeling in his heart would disappear.

She had saved him, and he had returned the favor. From then on, they did not owe each other anything. When he returned to normal, they would still be strangers who would not have any interaction.

The first thing He Miao did when he got home was to look at Onion, who was alone at home.

The dog sniffed and knew it was He Miao. It jumped out of bed, ignoring its injuries, and satin front of the door to wait for her.

He Miao's heart ached as she picked it up. Looking at the large blisters and pus on its back, she could not say the words she wanted to reprimand it for running and jumping around.

She rubbed its little head and fed it a whole bowl of dog food. She stroked its round belly and her heart was full of happiness.

Perhaps this was the greatest joy of dog owners.

"Onion, you haven't gone out to play in a long time. Let me carry you out, okay?" He Miao changed the gauze and applied the ointment on it, then carefully held it up.

Onion understood the words "go out and play". No matter how painful its body was, as long as it heard the words, it would be energetic immediately.

He Miao laughed at its playfulness, but she was afraid that the leash would rub against its burn, so she could only hold it tightly.

There was a park near the villa area. He Miao always passed by the park on her way to school, but she had never been there even once.

This was an opportunity.

She carried Onion and slowly walked into the park. This was a good place for walking dogs. The sky was not very bright, but there were still many people walking their dogs and chatting.

He Miao found a random swing and sat down. It was quite interesting to carry the dog on the swing.

"Woof woof."

Onion poked it head out and looked around curiously. It wanted to jump to the ground a few times but was stopped by He Miao.

"Is this little dog injured?" A melodious male voice suddenly rang in his ear. He Miao looked up and saw a man in a white shirt holding a cute Chihuahua.

When Onion saw the Chihuahua, it struggled even more to get off. He Miao was afraid of hurting it, so she let go.

He Miao watched as Onion sniffed around the Chihuahua and apologized, "I'm sorry for disturbing you while you're walking your dog."

"It's fine." The man squatted down and pet Onion gently.

Normally, Onion would not let strangers touch it easily. However, this time, perhaps it was for the Chihuahua, it did not resist and even acted lovable.

The Chihuahua did not mind Onion's bare patch. It curiously leaned over and sniffed Onion's scent. It wagged its tail happily, obviously wanting to be friends with Onion.

As soon as Jing Yan opened his eyes, he saw a white dog head.

Chapter 16: Change

The Chihuahua triggered Jing Yan's innate hatred for small animals.

He scuttled behind He Miao and bared his teeth at the Chihuahua in disgust, threatening it not to come near him.

He Miao patted his head lightly. "Onion, didn't you want to play with me just now? Why are you ignoring me now?"

She carried Onion on her lap. The movement of Onion was too wild, and its back was scratched by branches on both sides. Some pustules had already burst.

"Maybe he's scared by my dog. Are you okay?" The man moved closer and looked at the dog's injury carefully. His head was lowered, and his eyelashes were long and thick.

Jing Yan raised his eyes and gave him a cold look, then lowered his head again and obediently lay on He Miao's arm.

"It might not be feeling well. I'll take Onion back first." He Miao got up and looked at the Chihuahua, which was afraid to get close to him. He reached out and patted its head. "Goodbye, little baby. You can play together next time."

"See you next time," The man's eyes curved into crescents as he smiled. His eyes shone like stars in the dark night.

When she got home, she heated a glass of milk for herself before carrying Onion upstairs.

After drinking milk for a period of time, her skin had indeed become fairer and more delicate. She looked very different from when she first came in the book.

Therefore, she gradually reduced the frequency of drinking milk these past two days. In order to avoid suspicion, she decided to only drink one glass of milk a day before she left the He family. This was to prevent the change from being too big and causing unnecessary trouble.

The burn on Onion's back had started to heal, but the pus that flowed out again tonight still worried her.

He Miao was afraid it would get infected, but she could not give it a bath. She could only change the gauze and carefully clean the burns.

Jing Yan lay lazily on the bed and closed his eyes, not looking at the woman who was circling around him.

But the milky fragrance on her body still caught him off guard. Smelling the sweet scent, Jing Yan subconsciously crawled forward. As he sniffed, he moved closer, and the wet tip of his nose soon touched something soft.

"Onion, don't move." He Miao took out the teething stick on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

Jing Yan immediately spat it out in disgust and glared at her, his expression as if he had just eaten a fly.

"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat." He Miao picked up the teething stick and placed it in its bowl. Why are you so picky at night?"

He Miao suddenly thought of her own guess at that time, and the thought of testing it arose in his heart. She reached out and placed a finger by its mouth.

Jing Yan looked at her coldly and turned his head away in disgust, but the woman's fingers seemed to have a hint of a milky fragrance, and the sweet smell gradually spread around her body.

"D*mn it!" Jing Yan cursed in his heart. "Why is a dog's sense of smell so sensitive? I'm surrounded by this woman's smell!"

He turned around in irritation and pressed his head against the wall, as if this was the only place where he could temporarily escape He Miao's body scent.

He Miao stared blankly at Onion, who had turned around. He was secretly shocked. Did it become depressed at night? Otherwise, why did he not eat dinner tonight and did not get close to her?

Could it be that it was traumatized after being beaten up that night?

"Onion, don't you like to bite this little ball? Do you want me to play with you for a while?" He Miao worriedly found Onion's favorite toy and put it in its mouth.

Jing Yan still had no reaction.

Rather than saying he was annoyed, it was more like he did not know how to respond.

In this woman's eyes, he was completely a dog. Of course she would treat him like this, but he felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.

He suddenly thought of the time when this woman used to hang around him, wagging her tail and begging for attention. Her attitude was very different from now when she saw him.

I'm afraid that I'm not even as important as a dog in her heart right now.

He turned around and glared at the woman. He was very grateful to her for saving him last night, but he could vaguely feel the change in his mood.

Could it be that he was about to be assimilated by this dog and was starting to want to get this woman's attention?

No!

He had to find a way to stay away from her as soon as possible!
