Qin Xu rescued a golden retriever, and the dog wagged its tail all the way home with him.
From then on, Qin Xu became a wild man with a dog to love.
One day, while moving with the dog, Qin Xu met a mixed-race college student with blond hair next door. He realized it was the neighbor boy he'd tutored abroad.
"Hey, long time no see."
Jin An wore a bath towel and smiled brightly. His tall frame blocked Qin Xu from view.
His warm breath brushed Qin Xu's neck, and before Qin Xu knew it, the two had exchanged contact information again.

The big golden retriever loved burrowing into piles of Qin Xu's clothes after the move. It would play dumb and act cute, whining as it snuggled into his arms all day.
Pushing the dog's head away, Qin Xu listed the things that had gone missing lately.
Shirts, cufflinks, boxer briefs...
What kind of little thief kept stealing such useless things?
Qin Xu failed to notice the golden retriever beside him eyeing his wardrobe, ready to pounce.
Oh well. He could just buy replacements.
Young Master Qin stayed calm.
The next day, Jin An came over to spend the night and accurately named the location of the drawer where Qin Xu kept his underwear.
"Don't you usually keep it in the third row of the small drawers in the cabinet on the right side of your bedroom?"
Qin Xu struggled to keep his cool.

Qin Xu was exhausted from dealing with an obsessive admirer who had come back into his life, and ignored the golden retriever for many days.
So the golden retriever started playing disappearances too.
Hearing a dog bark next door, Qin Xu hurriedly put down his phone and ran over. Jin An had left the door open.
Through the gap, he saw the dog-eared man burying his face obsessively in a jacket that looked oddly familiar. Sharp teeth flashed as he grinned, the corners of his eyes red.
"Brother... you've been ignoring me."
The sound of his worldview shattering echoed through the heavens. Qin Xu stood stunned in the doorway, speechless for a long moment.
"Jin An... you're a dog??"
It took Qin Xu only half a day to accept that the neighbor boy was the golden retriever, and to remember that his birthday was coming up in a few days.
Since he was already here, he might as well go along with it... Maybe he should buy him a collar?
After all, didn't dogs like those?
Jin An wagged his tail as he accepted the gift and took Qin Xu to a mysterious room.
Shirts, cufflinks, boxer briefs...
Ha ha, well... fancy seeing you again, my missing things.
He turned around.
Jin An held the sparkling collar in his hand, his smile hidden in the darkness as he stepped closer.
"Big brother, you're not going to run away this time, are you?"
