Feng Bai sat on the side, with her hands propping up her cheeks as she looked at the general and said in a low voice, "General, how old are you?"
"Woof, woof, woof." The general lifted his head and barked three times. Feng Bai exclaimed, "You’re three years old, but I don’t remember how old I am."
The general walked over and rubbed against Feng Bai, comforting her.
Feng Bai stroked the general’s head, gazing at his golden fur, "How come I feel like I can understand what you’re saying?"
The general woofed twice. Feng Bai’s expression darkened, "Nonsense, I’m not an animal, I’m a human."
She actually felt that the general was telling her she had a scent similar to his, an animal’s scent.
How could that be? She was definitely human!
"Woof, woof, woof..." The general kept on talking, but Feng Bai kept shaking her head.
"I’m not listening, and you’re not allowed to spout nonsense in the future, understand that I am a human, okay?"
The general whimpered pitifully, not daring to speak anymore.
"All right, you are being good. I’ll treat you to something delicious later, okay? Li Jingmo promised to take me out for good food, I can bring you a bit."
She patted the general’s head, and he nodded woefully. Feng Bai flashed a cute smile, "I knew you were the best-behaved."
Li Jingmo came down the stairs with a stern face, and Steward Ming put down what he was holding and hurried forward, "Master Li, breakfast is ready."
He had gone to her room as soon as he got up but after knocking for a long time early in the morning, she had already gotten up and gone to feed the general.
Li Jingmo’s indifferent gaze swept over Steward Ming without anyone opening the door.
"She? Oh, you mean Miss Feng, right? Miss Feng," didn’t I tell you last night not to let her do work anymore?"
Steward Ming had a gloomy face, "Master Li, it was Miss Feng who insisted on doing things, so I let her go feed the general."
Li Jingmo strode toward the outside.
Just as Li Jingmo had reached the doorway, he heard the general’s loud barking. His expression changed, and he quickly opened the door and entered.
Li Jingmo entered the dog house to see the general pouncing toward Feng Bai, his expression tightening as he rebuked loudly.
The general looked back at Li Jingmo with an innocent gaze and quickly stepped aside.
Feng Bai was knocked to the ground by the general, looking at Li Jingmo in confusion.
Li Jingmo approached with a stern face, grabbing her hand forcefully, "Are you alright? Are you an idiot? Don’t think that just because the general is a bit friendly to you, you can come here alone."
Thinking about that moment, he felt a lingering fear. What if he had been a moment late? Would the general have bitten her?
Feng Bai, being scrutinized by Li Jingmo, blinked her innocent eyes, "What are you talking about? What’s the matter? The general and I were just playing!"
Li Jingmo’s face darkened, "What did you say?"
"The general was playing with me."
As Feng Bai repeated the words, Li Jingmo said in a low, grinding tone, "You were playing with a dog?"
"Yes, the general is so well-behaved, I really like him."
"Shut up, you can only like me, you’re not allowed to like a dog."
It was the first time he heard her say she liked something, and it turned out to be a dog.
Feng Bai pouted in grievance, "Why are you scolding me? You mentioned girlfriend privileges earlier, saying you would be nice to me, but now..."
Li Jingmo looked at her aggrieved expression, gritted his teeth, "I’m not scolding you, I just don’t want you to like a dog."
He would never admit he was jealous of a dog.
"Why can’t I like him? The general is really well-behaved, and he can even understand what I’m saying."
Feng Bai spoke to Li Jingmo, puzzled. Why shouldn’t she like the general? She liked these little creatures, and seeing them made her feel a kindred warmth.
"Because now you can only like me, and in your heart, there can only be me."
Li Jingmo pulled Feng Bai close, looking deeply into her eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, flushing her cheeks.
What was he saying? Why did it sound so strange, making her heart race so fast?
"Let’s have breakfast."
Moving to grab the dazed Feng Bai, Li Jingmo pulled her outside. The general wanted to follow, but a glare from Li Jingmo left him sitting on the ground, watching Feng Bai being taken away, dejected.
Feng Bai was pulled by Li Jingmo to the dining table and sat down, looking across at Li Jingmo with a look of surprise and a radiant smile, "Is this the girlfriend privilege you mentioned?"
Li Jingmo looked up at Feng Bai’s beaming smile, nodding, "It is."
Feng Bai squinted her eyes, smiling, "Then I won’t be polite."
She had been coveting the exquisite breakfast on the table, grabbing a crystal bun in one hand and a pumpkin pastry in the other.
Li Jingmo put down his chopsticks, watching the cheery Feng Bai enjoying her breakfast. His own lack of appetite seemed to have diminished considerably.
