“I’m a veterinarian intern at the pet hospital, so I’ll go in the back to take care of the dogs. Who wants to come with me?” Xiao Ding volunteered.

All the volunteers scrambled to fight for the five other spots excluding Xiao Ding. Although the back of the truck was smelly and dirty with over 200 dogs, the volunteers didn’t care, rather they wanted to immediately take care of the so-called ‘men’s best friend’.

“No one stop me.” The rich woman, who cared deeply for the dogs, yelled, “I’m going to personally feed the doggies some water. Xiao Ding, help me up, I can’t get up myself.”

Ma HuiYu frowned, “Xu-jie, you have intermittent asthma and the smell isn’t good for you, so please don’t cause any more trouble.” (I’m going to use the -jie suffix for respectful term for woman that’s slightly older than you, it can also mean your literal sister)

“Ma-jie is right. Xu-jie, you shouldn’t come.”

Xiao Ding, as one of the few male volunteers and the relatively strongest one, didn’t want to bring shame to men, so he acted very dependable.

“There’s only three men, so all of you follow me. The remaining three empty spots will be filled with girls with the healthiest bodies. You definitely can’t get car sick. It smells bad in here and there’s no AC, so everyone would have to take care of you if you faint.”

After that, he lowered his voice and added: “We might even have to fight if Heibai Wuchang tries to kick us out halfway, so only come if you’re not going to be afraid.”

They all say love can change a person. Ever since Xiao Ding decided he was going to fight Fan Chuan for Xia Hong, he became more daring when solving problems. It seems like on top of training his muscles, he also wanted to train his courage so he can become someone that’s suitable for Xiao Hong.

Class leader, you would probably never expect the reason Xiao Ding became braver was because he’s in love with your younger brother! Stop admiring Xiao Ding for being unafraid, you should hurry and think of a way to protect your brother’s chastity!

The rich woman with the surname of Xu felt regretful for not being able to go with them due to her health. The class leader, Shu Sha, was very willing to take care of the dogs, but she hesitated because of her hunter aura. At this point, Ma HuiYu said to her:

“Shu Sha, you’ll sit on the Jeep’s passenger seat and come with me to the service stop first. We have our people on the truck, so they won’t be able to get away.”

“Me?” Shu Sha was a bit astonished, “Shouldn’t someone more important go with you first…”

“You’ll come with me.” Ma HuiYu said with certainty, “I want to discuss our next steps with you. I can tell you’re meticulous even if you’re young, so you can be my negotiation assistant today.”

Shu Sha nodded, “If Ma-jie doesn’t mind that I’m a newcomer, I’ll try my best to be your negotiation assistant.”

The highway incident was half recounted to me by the class leader and I personally heard the other half because she left her phone on. I went outside and called a cab while my phone was still connected and told the driver to head to the closest service stop on the G45.

“Class leader, wait, I’m coming to help right now. Think of a way to hold them back and don’t get into a fight.”

“Sigh.” The class leader lamented, “I already said you don’t need to come. Your body isn’t good, so you should rest at home…”

The cab driver had sharp ears and heard the class leader say I didn’t have a good body. He looked at me through the rear-view mirror and couldn’t hold back a laugh when he saw my muscles showing from the collar of my shirt.

“Young man, your girlfriend is quite funny. If your body isn’t good, then wouldn’t I be a sick ghost since I’m so skinny?”

“That’s right.” I followed up with the conversation, “My girlfriend doesn’t let me do anything at home because she’s afraid I’ll get tired.”

I took advantage of the class leader again, but she was already letting me off for everything because of my heart problems.

“Which high school do you go to?” The driver asked me while skillfully turning the steering wheel.

I was often mistaken as a high school student due to my build. I was also too lazy to explain, so I replied: “Dong Shan High”.

“Youngsters nowadays have so much freedom, you’re already living together in high school.” The driver sighed, “Back in the day, me and my wife…”

I was actually only a middle school student, but if I told the truth, he would think we were living together in middle school and be even more shocked.

“Ye Lin, you don’t need to come…” The class leader also heard my conversation with the cab driver, but she didn’t feel the need to correct me. She was focused on preventing me from going to the service stop and getting involved.

I’ve already decided to help the class leader no matter what, but I still wanted to take advantage of the situation. So I raised my voice and said into the speaker:

“Stop fussing. Anyway, don’t forget to buy groceries before you come home tonight.”

“Huh.” The class leader was stunned by my words.

“Huh what, don’t you know our fridge is empty?” I wanted to laugh, but I put a serious face on for the driver to see, “I’ll take care of the situation, you just focus on making dinner after you buy the groceries so I can eat when I come home.”

“Also, make sure to wash some fruits for after dinner, and make sure to wash yourself too, got it?” I almost couldn’t hold in my laugh anymore.

The class leader’s tone suddenly lowered and it felt like my speaker had become an AC and my ear was reaching the freezing point.

“Ye Lin, I’m talking about something serious with you, is it fun trying to take advantage of the situation? I’m not going to be happy if you keep this up.”

“Um… I’m just kidding around.” I quickly said, “Don’t get mad, I’m almost at the highway, then we can talk in detail when we meet.”

It sounds like the class leader’s side was getting noisy, so she hung up the phone and I stuffed my phone back into my pocket.

“Pfft.” The driver couldn’t hold it in and said, “Young man, you made your girlfriend mad, right? I guess you’ll have to kneel on a washing board when you get home.”

Since I already hung up, the class leader wouldn’t hear, so I stubbornly said: “She’s all talk since she always listens to me at home, and she never goes against what I say. If she talks back, I’ll give her a good spanking…”

I suddenly received an alert for a spam message on my phone. I was not mentally prepared, so I almost jumped up from my seat.

The driver looked at me with a sympathetic gaze and nodded: “Young man, say no more. I believe you, I believe all of it.”

Hey, why are you looking at me with pity? I’ve actually spanked the class leader’s butt before! I’ve even his the class leader’s butt too. As long as the class leader’s parents aren’t home, I’m already at the top of the food chain at her house.

Although I left in a hurry, I still made some preparations.

I first told my dad the class leader couldn’t make it today. I also said I had to head out too, but he doesn’t have to worry, and I’ll call him if I come home late.

My dad told me to stay safe and not get into any fights, then he gave me some cash for transportation and meals.

Phone, keys, wallet. I didn’t forget to take those essential items with me before leaving.

I also brought the Swiss Army knife Xiao Qin returned to me at Cui Song mountain.

It wasn’t because I thought I had to use a knife because I was no longer confident fighting with my bare hands, but because it was a multi-functional survival tool. It had a flashlight, can opener, saw, pen, and magnifying glass, so it was pretty much a must have and worth carrying around.

What if we needed a flashlight to look around dark areas when we reach the service stop? What if the volunteers didn’t have a can opener for the cans of dog food they brought? What if the locks on the steel cages were rusted and we needed a saw? What if they need a pen to sign a contract? What if I could use the magnifying glass to find some clues?

Tools are a man’s romance. I want to hold the Swiss Army knife and show it off in front of everyone. It’s the same feelings as a woman who just bought a new dress and is eager to show it off on the streets.

I heard Dr. Yu mention before that when he went to his American friends’ homes, the male owners wouldn’t really show off the luxury cars that are parked outside their homes. However, they would often take out their 120pcs tool kits and show off saying it was manufactured in Germany!

Also, I know my own limits. Even if I didn’t have heart problems, I can’t beat a strong adult simply with my high school student stature and limited knowledge in martial arts.

I also brought the sunglasses that was next to the Swiss Army knife.

It was the pair Ai Mi gave me because it was too big for her. I rarely wear it, but I still kept it.

The reason why I had to wear sunglasses was because I thought: stopping a car to save dogs is especially likely to be aired on the news. If a reporter captured me on camera, it might create trouble.

It’s because I’m an actor! The first season of “The Legend of the Magic Cauldron” still hasn’t aired in the United States, so I’m not worried about people recognizing me as the deaf and mute evil monk. But Director Cao’s “Bloody Battle of Jin Ling” has already aired! I replaced Wu Sheng in the second half as Jin Ling Young Thug. What would I do if I actually get recognized by people who have seen the show before?

I vehemently requested to keep Wu Sheng’s name on the cast of actors and not use my name, but it wouldn’t be good to cause problems for Wu Sheng either. Wu Sheng was currently recuperating at a small and peaceful village by the Alps. I shouldn’t make him become a topic of discussion and disturb his peace! I pity him because of his depression. He’s only 18, but he has the eyes of an 80 year old.

Another benefit of wearing sunglasses was to hide my killer gaze. If I looked like a killer, there’s no way the driver would joke around with me and say I have to kneel on a washing board when I get home.
