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."
"When I have money in the future, when I have my own home, you can come live with me. I'll keep you and give you delicious food."
After that, she would run out to play with that doggie every day, saving any little snacks she had to bring out and feed it.
She didn't know that by running out like this so often, she was causing the adults a lot of worry.
"She's run out again? I keep telling her, if anything happens to her, we can't blame it all on our family."
"The child is so unclean, our young lady can't even play with her."
"Doesn't she have a well-off Second Uncle with just one son? Old man, I'm so anxious every day, I can't stand it anymore, you deal with this."
When Shang Xi returned, her little clothes and toys were all packed up.
She knew she would be going to another home again.
But what about that doggie... she wanted to keep it in the future.
According to the times they had played the past few days, she wouldn't be able to see that doggie until tomorrow afternoon.
"Second Uncle, can I leave the day after tomorrow instead?"
Second Aunt frowned: "Your uncle has already come to pick you up, how can we wait any longer?"
Cousin Sister stood behind the sofa, smirking at her triumphantly.
Little Shang Xi felt heavy-hearted as she got into the car. When the car passed by the park, she hurriedly threw out the pink hairband she was wearing.
Since she couldn't leave anything behind or accomplish anything, she might as well give a little gift to her little companion.
She felt that the black doggie was smarter than Cousin Sister's Maltese, as if it could understand whatever she said. She was so happy being with it, and the doggie wouldn't look down on her or bully her.
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.
