A Bei is a dog who travels across time and space.
In a time of chaos, it followed its master into battle. When peace came to the land, it stayed by its young master's side without ever leaving.
The happiest thing in A Bei's life was when Jin Zhou became its little master.
Its little master adored it. If they were apart for even a moment, he would cry, and he loved cuddling it while he slept.
Its little master was beautiful, pale-skinned, with big, bright eyes that curved into a smile whenever he saw it. He smelled lovely, too. He was the prettiest, cutest, kindest human A Bei had ever known.
Later, the young master fell ill. Many days, he could only lie in bed. Whenever he saw A Bei, he would struggle to reach out and stroke it, smile, and say, "My dear A Bei." Then he wouldn't speak again.
The manor was quieter than ever that day. The entire courtyard was draped in white. A Bei fetched the kite its little master loved most, carrying it in its mouth. When it came back, it saw its little master being quietly placed in a box.
Dogs are born with a keen sense of death. A Bei knew it had lost the little master it loved most forever.
A terrible storm broke that night. When the people of the manor finally found A Bei, it had died beside Jin Zhou's grave.

When A Bei opened its eyes again, it was bewildered.
It looked at its strange surroundings and leapt to its feet, only to realize it was standing on two legs!
It barked at the strange "person" in weird clothes in the mirror. The person in the mirror stared back at it in shock.
Then it saw the young master of this strange mansion, the one everyone said was ill-tempered and prone to fits of rage, being pushed out in a wheelchair.
A Bei's eyes instantly turned red.
Young Master Jin glanced at the new bodyguard. He had a great build, handsome features, and a good-looking face. What a shame. One pair of eyes keeping watch on him had barely been driven off, and now another had come. He sneered:
"Well, well. Another watchdog."
A Bei was thrilled. Even in this new form, its little master could still recognize it!
Without a word, it pounced on him, just as it always used to, flinging itself into its little master's arms and licking his face all over. "Woof, woof, woof!"
Jin Zhou was completely dumbfounded.
What the hell!
Was this guy really shameless enough to monitor him by throwing himself at him?
