Chapter 24: The Dog Is No More

  In the quiet living room, a black hole suddenly appeared. Immediately afterwards, a figure stepped out of the black hole.

  Back in his familiar home, An Yi's body swayed slightly, and he unconsciously leaned against the wall.

  To be honest, An Yi had mixed feelings about that strange world.

  On the one hand, An Yi wants to use that strange world to satisfy the deep-seated wishes in his heart.

  On the other hand, watching others die one after another, An Yi increasingly hated that cruel game!

  The mobile phone ringtone suddenly rang out, interrupting An Yi's emotional fluctuations.

  An Yi's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he picked up his phone from the windowsill.

  "Doggie, Doggie is dying quickly, come and take a look..." The phone had just been answered when anxious words were heard.

  An Wei was taken aback for a moment before he came back to his senses.

  The voice on the phone was that girl called Xiao Xiaoxiao. And the content of her words...

  An Yi's face suddenly changed, and after asking for the other party's address, he hastily rushed out of the house.

  Giving the dog away was An Yi's helpless move. If possible, An Yi didn't want to do this either.

  The dog raised from a young age is almost like family to An Yi.

  After Dad and Mom passed away, An Yi was the only relative left in this world.

  His face filled with worry, An Yi rushed all the way to the address that Xiao Xiaoxiao had told him over the phone.

  The old streets with a long history and rows of traditional quadrangle courtyards are rarely seen in this city nowadays.

  An Yi had just turned into the alley when he saw a courtyard door not far away, with Xiao Xiaoxiao's small face full of anxiety and walking back and forth.

  "What's wrong with the dog?" An Yi took three steps and did two steps, running to Xiao Xiaoxiao.

  Xiao Xiao pulled An Yi and walked towards the yard: "You take a look! I don't know what's going on, it's been vomiting non-stop since noon..."

  "Always vomiting? What have you been feeding it?" An Yi asked while following Xiao Xiaoxiao into the courtyard.

  An Yi's first impression of the girl in front of him wasn't bad, but he didn't expect that just a few days after entrusting his dog to her, such a big mistake would occur, and his tone became slightly heavier.

  "I didn't feed it anything weird..." An Yi scolded, and Xiao Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red, clearly on the verge of tears.

  The courtyard's age is obviously not short, and even after entering the yard, you can still see a shadow wall.

  Seeing Xiao Xiaoxiao's tearful little face, An Yi realized that his tone was indeed a bit heavy.

  "I didn't mean that." An Yi awkwardly equivocated, trying to suppress his emotions: "What I meant was, what did you feed it? Think back carefully."

  "I didn't give it anything to eat, really." Xiao Xiao thought for a moment with a pouting mouth: "I just gave it some bones. Don't all dogs like eating bones..."

  Following Xiao Xiaoxiao, An Yi turned into the courtyard and was taken aback by these words. At the same time...

  In the tidy courtyard, there are some flowers and grasses planted. In one corner of the courtyard, a grape arbor is also set up.

  At the moment he was dragged into the yard, when he heard Xiao Xiaoxiao's words, An Yi also saw the Samoyed under the grape rack.

  A white Samoyed dog occasionally lowers its head and whimpers; its body is slightly arched, with its two hind legs slightly lowered.

  The moment An Yi appeared, the Tibetan Mastiff, which had been crouching with its body bowed, seemed to have suffered a great injustice, and it backed away while making a low humming noise, slowly moving towards An Yi.

  The dog's movements, combined with the girl's words just now, caused An Yi's mouth to twitch involuntarily.

  The worried look on An Yi's face gradually faded away.

  "It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of it. You quickly take a look at it!" Xiao Xiaoxiao urged anxiously as she looked at An Yi who was stunned.

  An Yi's mouth twitched again, and he looked at the Shiba Inu, which was huddled with its hind legs curled up, then glanced at the anxious-looking girl beside it. His tone was slightly strange: "Hasn't it done that thing for a few days now?"

  Xiao Xiao ran to the dog's side and squatted down, gently rubbing the dog's back. Suddenly hearing An Yi's words, she was taken aback: "What?"

  "It's just... it's just..." An Yi's face was a bit awkward, and after choosing his words carefully, he said somewhat embarrassedly: "It's just farting."

  "La Chou Chou?" Xiao Xiao was taken aback for a moment and stupidly repeated it again.

  The girl in front of her was a bit dull, but at least she wasn't too silly. Only...

  Xiao Xiao suddenly reflected, her small face instantly turned red, and she lowered her eyelids in embarrassment, hesitantly saying: "It seems... it seems not."

  "Don't worry, it's fine." An Yi smiled and patted the Shiba Inu's head: "The Shiba Inu's stomach isn't as good as other medium-sized dogs. Although it's also a dog and likes to eat bones, its digestive ability is simply not enough to digest them. So..."

  "Cough. So, constipation." An Yi looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao with embarrassment.

  "Diarrhea, constipation?" Xiao Xiao's small mouth opened wide in surprise, looking foolishly at An Yi and then at the pitiful-looking Shiba Inu. It seemed that he really couldn't understand why the dog was vomiting and having diarrhea, on the verge of death, just because of constipation.

  "Of course, in the future, you'd better not feed it bones." An Yi thought for a moment and reminded him: "The Shar-Pei's stomach is not good, and its hard bones are not easy to digest. If the luck is bad, it may scratch the stomach and intestinal wall."

  "What?! So serious!" Xiao Xiao's small face turned a bit pale: "Th-then this time..."

  "It's okay this time." An Yi smiled and comforted him with a sentence.

  As soon as he entered the yard, An Yi had already noticed the vomit of the Akita dog.

  No black blood clots means no big deal, just constipation.

  Hearing An Yi's affirmative reply, Xiao Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of relief, but after taking a look at the dying Simba-like dog, she became worried again: "But, but it's in such a state now, how painful! Is there any way?"

  "Hmm..." An Yi hesitated for a moment, looking around at the layout of the rooms in the small courtyard: "Where's the kitchen?"

  "Kitchen?" Xiao Xiao stared at An Yi with a confused expression, seemingly unable to understand how the topic had suddenly shifted to the kitchen.

  I don't understand what the kitchen has to do with solving the problem at hand, but Xiao Xiaoxiao still subconsciously pointed to the room on the west side of the small courtyard.

  "Give it some thin porridge to eat, and it'll be fine in a day or two, no big deal." An Yi said as he walked into the kitchen on the west side of the small courtyard.

  The kitchen is quite clean, it can be seen that the owner of the house often cleans up.

  Found some leftover dishes and rice, An Yi simply and skillfully cooked a pot of porridge and took it out.

  Watching the Shiba Inu eating its congee, Xiao Xiaoxiao finally felt relieved. She even couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  An Yi couldn't help but smile at this silly girl and shook his head. But...

  A strange and abrupt sound suddenly appeared, and An Yi's face turned unnaturally red.

  The girl slowly raised her eyelids, blinked a few times, and looked at An Yi with a strange expression, then glanced at An Yi's abdomen.

  "Uh, uh..." An Yi awkwardly looked up at the sky.

  Just after the game ended, An Yi received a call from Xiao Xiaoxiao. Already somewhat exhausted, An Yi hurried over and had a disagreement with Wuzang Temple.

  Xiao Xiao playfully stuck out her tongue: "You've been running around, you must be hungry, I'll help you make something to eat."

  An Wei awkwardly waved his hand, just about to say no need, but the girl in front of him had already gotten up and walked into the kitchen.

  He rubbed his stomach, feeling the sensation of his chest almost sticking to his back. An Yi hesitated for a moment before shamelessly responding with a sentence: "Alright, thanks."

  An Yi directly sat down beside the grape rack with a stool he had casually picked up.

  Not long after, Xiao Xiaoxiao walked out of the kitchen with a tray of dishes.

  From afar, he caught a whiff of the delicious smell of food, and An Yi didn't expect that the silly girl's cooking skills were actually quite good.

  "Hurry up and eat, you must be starving." Xiao Xiao put the dishes on a stone table next to the grape arbor and helped An Yi move a higher stool.

  An Yi rubbed his empty stomach and sat down on the stool without a care in the world, then started eating.

  Watching An Yi devour his food like a wolf, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  An Wei smiled awkwardly and continued eating, mumbling a sentence: "Uh, uh, mainly because the dishes you made are too delicious."

  Xiao Xiao was smiling and watching An Yi eat, but when he said that, her small face unconsciously turned red again.

  Looking at the girl's shyness in front of him, An Yi was amused and teased: "By the way, when the dog sent you a gift, you didn't even invite me to dinner, isn't that too much...?"

  The reason for getting familiar gradually, the girl in front of him retorted with a sentence: "Isn't this an invitation?"

  "Is that it?" An Yi joked while shoveling food into his mouth.

  "So you still want to eat a few more meals... " Xiao Xiao pouted her mouth and smiled at An Yi.

  "How many meals? Just a few meals and you're done?" An Yi subconsciously blurted out: "At least get a long-term meal ticket!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, An Yi realized something was off.

  Long-term meal ticket? This word... seems a bit off!

  An Yi's wolf-like swallowing motion suddenly slowed down like a slow-motion video, stopping bit by bit.

  Holding chopsticks in his hand, An Yi's mouth was still stuffed with food.

  Her neck twisted mechanically, An Yi slowly turned her cheek, sneaking a peek at Xiao Xiaoxiao.

  The girl in front of me seems a bit silly and slow-witted, but...

  Long-term meal ticket, this phrase is indeed a bit too...

  Xiao Xiao lowered her eyelids and looked like an ostrich, as if she wanted to shrink her head under the table.

  The other party hung her head, and An Yi couldn't see the girl's face at all, but he could see the other party's bright red neck and ears that seemed to be on fire.

  An Yi awkwardly swallowed the food, wanting to find an excuse to leave quickly. But he swallowed too hastily and choked on a mouthful of food.

  Xiao Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and took a glance at An Yi, noticing his abnormal behavior.

  "Hey, are you okay? Wait for me, I'll go get you some water!" Seeing An Yi's expression, Xiao Xiaoxiao hastily got up.

  Maybe it was getting up too quickly, Xiao Xiaoxiao's legs accidentally got tangled in the table leg.

  Watching his opponent's body fall backwards, An Yi's face changed and he hastily stretched out a hand to support him.

  An Yi had just reached out to grab the other person, but was pulled by inertia, causing his own body to fall to the ground first.

  Qian's foot had just landed on the ground when Xiao Xiaoxiao's body came crashing down, using Qian as a human cushion.

  The reason why Xiao Xiaoxiao was hit by a slap was that An Yi's meal was stuck in his throat, and it just went down smoothly. But...

  Xiao Xiao, who was lying in An Yi's arms, had her lips coincidentally stuck to An Yi's mouth.

  Silence!

  Things were too sudden, and An Yi's two bodies seemed to be stiffened, keeping this movement still.

  The sudden commotion caught the attention of the Shiba Inu under the grape arbor.

  The puzzled puppy blinked its eyes, dropped the rice bowl, and trotted over to An Yi and the others.

  The fluffy big face of Song Shi Quan stuck to the ground, curiously sizing up the stiff movements of An Yu and others.

  Xiao Xiao suddenly reacted, her face flushing bright red as she hastily stood up.

  An Yi subconsciously touched his lips and stood up as well, but his face couldn't help but look a bit awkward.

  "Uh, I still have something to do, I'll go back first?" An Yi's face was awkward, and he kept looking up at the sky while moving towards the gate of the courtyard.
