On the red brick path outside the school, a man and a dog chased each other, with the dog always far ahead. Occasionally, it would stop and bark mockingly at Jin Yuanhao, driving him to frustration.
After chasing for hundreds of meters without success, he couldn’t help but roar, “Don’t run, stand still, and let’s have a real showdown!
“Yuan Hao, that’s enough. We still have important matters to attend to.” Shi Xuan furrowed her brow, sighing helplessly at her companion’s childish behavior, and reluctantly ran after him.
“I won’t be satisfied until I catch this beast that dares to look down on humans!” He dropped the pursuit and angrily chased after it again.
She smiled and shook her head. It wasn’t looking down on humans; at most, it was just mocking him as a big, clumsy bull.
“Woof woof woof woof…” Big clumsy bull, come catch me!
“Don’t be so smug. Once I catch you, you’ll be in trouble.”
Shi Xuan suddenly suspiciously scratched her ear, doubting whether her hearing was working correctly. Otherwise, how could she possibly… understand what a dog was saying?!
“Hmph, you think escaping into the wall means I can’t catch you? If you have the guts, come out!”
Her thoughts were pulled back by Jin Yuan Hao’s voice. She was shocked to find him standing in front of a courtyard in a quiet alley.
Several towering old trees in the yard densely covered a two-story building. Without looking closely, she could accurately tell that the house hidden behind the old trees was a Baroque-style building, probably nearly a hundred years old.
The ancient exterior was still well-maintained and clean. The front yard had five trees over a hundred years old, and the back yard similarly had six large trees, with hammocks set up between them – perfect for cool summer sleeping.
This was… her breath caught, and she slowly walked over, looking up at the green-filled old trees, blinking.
“Boss, did you run out and cause trouble again?” A lazy, magnetic voice came.
“Woof…” The dog sat at the entrance, wagging its tail friendlily.
Seeing someone walk out from the entrance, Jin Yuan Hao angrily questioned, “Hey, is this your dog?”
“Temporarily, yes. What’s the problem?” The warm voice was very polite, with steady steps walking towards the ornate iron gate.
