Chapter 99

That incident happened many years ago.

As Shang Xi grew older, she had forgotten too many things, but somehow, she still remembered clearly when she met that dog.

Back then, the plump black dog lay motionless in the weeds with its eyes closed. She hugged it tightly and stroked its head, "Little doggie, are you sleeping here?"

To her surprise, her hand felt wet with blood when she touched it.

It turned out that the dog was dead!

The tears she had just held back began to stream down her face again. "Doggie, how did you get hurt? Are you gone too?"

She cried for a little while, then the plump black dog in her arms woke up. Its dark eyes looked a bit ferocious. It suddenly struggled free, jumped to the side, faced her, and barked at her fiercely.

At that moment, she only felt joy: "You're still here! That's great! Little doggie, I thought you were gone."

The little girl hugged the black fluffy dog again and wouldn't let go no matter what.

"I love doggies the most, you're so cute, and you smell nice too!"

"You won't bite me, will you? Don't be fierce, don't scare me."

The sunset was falling, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Doggie, do you not have a home either? Keep me company, come with me. I have no home too."

"Doggie, are you hungry? I only have two cookies here, I'll share one with you."

"Woo woo woo woo doggie, it's getting dark, are you scared? I'm not scared, I'm not scared at all."

Sometimes, it would fetch little snacks for her from who knows where, without opening the packaging. She suspected the little dog had stolen them from a small shop.

In the end, she broke her promise.

She had said she would keep it.

Later, she encountered another small black dog, much thinner, with dirty, unsmooth, and unsweetly-scented fur.

But this time, she decided to secretly take it home and keep it.

She might never meet the one from her Second Uncle's neighborhood park again.

Before meeting Grandmother, the time spent with that park doggie was one of the few happy moments in her life.

That's probably why, at such a young age, she could remember that brief memory so vividly.

The time was approaching ten o'clock now.

Nanfeng Courtyard was quiet, as if not wanting to disturb their sleep.

When mother and son came downstairs, Nanfeng Courtyard had returned to its usual appearance.

It was as if everything that had happened last night was just a dream.

Black Tail and Cyan Tail were mopping the floor again, not wanting to leave even a trace of the fallen werewolf's scent.

Seeing Shang Xi come downstairs, the two young male werewolves abruptly turned around, feeling very awkward. The two wolves exchanged a glance, their faces flushed red.

I'll continue with the third update tomorrow.
