“I’m still a little scared… but I’m not as scared as before. After all, he’s a member of our family. I have to get familiar with him as soon as possible.” Only then did Sheng Jiu realize that the original owner was afraid of dogs, so she quickly found someone to make up for it.

“Sheng Jiu, if you’re afraid of a dog, what else is there in the world that you’re not afraid of?” Shen Xiuwen stared at Sheng Jiu thoughtfully. She said that ahe was afraid of dogs, but he had clearly seen Sheng Jiu holding the dog with excitement and love just now. He could not tell that she was afraid at all. He said that she was a Little Fool, but she knew how to punish bad people ruthlessly. Which side of her was the real her?

“Because there were no dogs in the temple. When I came back and saw such a big dog, I was so scared. I couldn’t react in time and panicked.” After Sheng Jiu finished speaking, she felt a cold gaze staring at him. She didn’t need to think to know who it was. Did she say anything she shouldn’t have?

Back then, Sheng Jiu was very afraid of Shen Xiuwen. The reason ahe avoided him the moment she saw him was that this man was fierce and not kind at all. Therefore, in Sheng Jiu’s heart, Shen Xiuwen and Big Dog were placed together because they were both fierce!

“Sheng Jiu, am I scary?” Shen Xiuwen stared at Sheng Jiu coldly.

Sheng Jiu subconsciously hid behind Third Sister Sheng Fengjiao. Sheng Fengjiao pulled her back considerately. “Fourth Master Shen, my Little Jiu is timid. Don’t scare him.”

Shen Xiuwen stared at Sheng Jiu’s dark eyes and was about to say something when Madam Sheng came out of the house. “It’s time to eat. Come back and eat! Who let the dog out? Did Little Jiu get scared?” Madam Sheng’s expression darkened when she saw the German Shepherd and she grabbed Sheng Jiu’s hand.

“Mom, I’m fine. I’m trying to get along with the dogs. I realized that I’m not so afraid of them anymore.” Sheng Jiu tried her best to fit the original character. She had not adapted to her new identity yet, so she had to remember the original character’s preferences. Otherwise, it would easily arouse suspicion. However, she did not expect that she would be exposed so quickly!

When they were eating, Sheng Jiu subconsciously picked up some meat to eat. There were sweet and sour pork chops, cumin beef, braised pork ribs, and spicy stir-fried shrimp. It was quite delicious. Everyone at the dining table was stunned and looked at Sheng Jiu as if they were looking at a monster.

“Little Jiu, why are you eating meat?”

“Little Jiu, are you still drunk?”

“Little Jiu, what happened to you?”

“Little Jiu, are you feeling unwell? Let the doctor come and take a look?”

Only then did Sheng Jiu realize that the original host had been eating vegetarian food in the Buddhist temple for 18 years. She had been back for almost a year, but she had not adapted to eating meat! Although the Sheng family had indirectly coaxed her to eat meat, the original host still refused firmly. Now that she had transmigrated, she ate meat happily, mainly because she was too hungry and the meat was too delicious. However, everyone in the Sheng family was frightened and looked at her as if they had seen a ghost.

“Mom, Dad, I… I was too hungry when I was outside today, so I took a bite of meat. I realized that meat is actually not that bad. Besides, I’ve been out of the Buddhist temple for a year. I should try my best to adapt to my current life. I can’t let you keep accommodating me. It’s unfair to you.” Sheng Jiu tried his best to make up for her mistake.

“Little Jiu, you’re right. Your body lacks nutrition. If you don’t eat meat, you won’t be able to replenish your nutrition. Look at you. You’re the shortest in our family. You have to eat more to make up for it. You should at least be as tall as your sister.” Madam Sheng strongly supported Sheng Jiu eating meat.

The Sheng family were all very tall. Father Sheng was 1.88 meters tall, and Madam Sheng was a model when she was young. She was 1.78 meters tall, so their children were also very tall. The young masters of the Sheng family were all 1.85 meters tall, and the young ladies were also 1.75 meters tall. Only Sheng Jiu was barely 1.70 meters tall and had just passed the Sheng family’s standards. Of course, Sheng Jiu was still considered tall among girls, but now that she was disguised as a man, her height was not tall enough for men. It was just like how she looked especially cute when she stood beside Shen Xiuwen.

“Dad, Mom, I’m full. I’ll go upstairs first.” Sheng Jiu hurriedly took two bites and went upstairs. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. She should hide first. Moreover, Shen Xiuwen kept staring at her with an unreadable gaze, which made her panic. Shen Xiuwen’s eyes were too transparent, giving off an undisguised feeling.
