Cheng Yisui first saw Shen Qiyan outside a pet shop.

She had just finished shopping. When she looked up again, she saw a refined, melancholy man standing beside a stray dog.

One glance was all it took. She knew she was done for.

...Done for. She'd fallen for him.

Cheng Yisui stared at the stray dog for five seconds, made up her mind, and spoke first. “Poor thing.”

Shen Qiyan: “Mm.”

Cheng Yisui: “Can you keep a dog at your place?”

Shen Qiyan: “...Yes.”

Cheng Yisui: “Then could I trouble you to take it in?”

The man fell silent. His half-lidded eyes were full of scrutiny.

Later, after they'd had the dog for a while...

Shen Qiyan could tell what the dog wanted to say just by looking into its eyes.

So he, a man of few words, cleared his throat and sent Cheng Yisui a voice message, relaying the dog's words:

“It says it misses you and wants to know when you're coming to visit.”

The dog: ...?

I'm not human, but you two are the real animals.

[If Shen Qiyan's behavior is hard to understand while reading, try reading Chapters 76 and 77 first.]

PREVIEW OF AN UPCOMING NOVEL

When Tao Zhu ran into Jiang Yubai again, she planned to confess three times.

The first time, she wrote him a love letter.

...When she handed it to him, she mixed it up with the water bill in her pocket.

Jiang Youbai: If you're broke, go earn some money. Don't expect me to support you.

The second time, she wrote him another love letter.

...When she handed it to him, a gust of wind blew it away.

Jiang Yubai: Don't litter.

The third time, she gave him a bouquet.

...He was in the hospital then, and the only flowers left outside were the last unsold bunch of chrysanthemums.

Jiang Yubai: Go die!

After failing to confess three times, Tao Zhu no longer had the courage to get close to him.

But someone discovered her crush.

They surrounded Tao Zhu and interrogated her, their shocked or mocking words striking her like blows to the back. Some even called her the little wife he was secretly keeping.

Overwhelmed with embarrassment, her eyes stinging, she endured it all and stubbornly explained, “He and I aren't in the kind of relationship you're talking about.”

When she finished, she turned around and saw Jiang Yubai standing there, looking relaxed.

He walked over to her, and everyone else instinctively backed away.

The smile on his lips was faint, but there was a wickedness to him that ran bone-deep.

Jiang Yubai leaned close to her ear. His voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear him clearly: “That's right. I haven't won her over yet.”

Theme: Protect animals and treat all life with kindness
