"Hey, he peed all over himself, you’ll have to give him a wash."
Gu Zixuan was helpless, looking at the guy curled up in the kennel with an expression of already knowing he did something wrong, she simply didn’t know what to say.
Demon seemed to know he was in trouble too, letting out a couple of "awoo, awoo" sounds, shrank to the edge of the cage, occasionally glancing at her, then swiftly pulling his head back.
That look, instantly reminded Gu Zixuan of a man with strangely deep eyes every time before doing something bad.
Gu Zixuan gritted her teeth, recalling Feng Chengjin’s reminder before leaving, "Dogs generally won’t relieve themselves where they sleep, unless it’s absolutely necessary."
Seeing the dog cage she closed before leaving, she took a deep breath, knowing it was her own doing.
So, she resignedly went forward, pulled Demon out of the cage, and began her tragic first experience of dog ownership.
Yu Wei, unable to handle the prospect of holding a pee-stained puppy, lazily grinned and said, "I’ll go find a clean bed sheet for him to sleep on tonight," and then turned to leave.
In the bathroom, Gu Zixuan found a plastic basin for drying clothes, placed Demon in it, and began to give him a bath.
Demon was restless, soon started licking the bathwater, or ceaselessly trying to get out.
Completely forgetting the previously remorseful and endearing expression that softened hearts.
Gu Zixuan repeatedly pulled him back by the tail.
Back and forth, she somehow managed to recreate a cinematic human-dog battle scene.
Finally washing up, she took out the hairdryer, but before it could start, Demon shook off water, leaving Gu Zixuan soaked from head to toe.
Speechless, she took a deep breath, calmly brushed away her wet hair, reminding herself not to get angry.
After painstakingly drying Demon, she grabbed his collar and took him to the downstairs bathroom, beginning to clean up herself and the bathroom.
After showering, she also cleaned the mess of basins and the dog’s cotton bed, leaving them to dry on the balcony.
Going downstairs, she found Demon had knocked over the toilet paper roll, covering the entire bathroom with tissue.
And that dumb dog had wrapped himself in toilet paper, unable to move, a single dark eye peeking out, watching her approach, with a "woo..." like a cyclops aiming.
Gu Zixuan was exasperated, leaning against the door, looking at the clock that read 12:30, speechless and not wanting to talk.
Fetching a dog leash, she tied Demon to the sink beside the toilet, and began picking up the toilet paper bit by bit.
Seeming to sense the frustration from Gu Zixuan and the dog’s antics, Yu Wei, feeling a twinge of conscience, came down holding a bedsheet intending to offer help.
Demon, seeing someone coming, seemed to recall the fun Yu Wei had earlier and immediately jumped up to her, seeking a hug.
Yet, in that rush, as Gu Zixuan bent down to gather the trash can to take it out, she was suddenly tripped by the dog leash.
Thus, "thud!" Gu Zixuan fell straight forward. Original content can be found at novel•fire.net
As she lay luxuriously on the ground at a 90-degree angle.
Yu Wei stopped short, twitching her lips, "Zixuan, this... it’s still a while till New Year."
Gu Zixuan was speechless, thankfully the bathroom was carpeted and the fall wasn’t hard.
But this déjà vu experience left her speechless, raising her eyes, she looked at Yu Wei saying, "But some things can be planned in advance, want to eat some braised dog meat for New Year?"
At the doorway, Yu Wei paused, looked at Gu Zixuan’s gaze and words, then at Demon’s breed and personality, in an instant seemed to understand something about the origin of this household’s heavenly sent dog.
Then she pursed her lips, smiled a bit, immediately tried to hold it in, but failed, the next second couldn’t help but burst into laughter facing away.
Demon was also stunned, turning back with big, dark eyes tilted at Gu Zixuan, seeming not to comprehend what "braised dog meat" meant in human terms.
Just watching its new owner, seeming to realize her fall might have something to do with him.
Padding over with its little white paws, it reached out to her.
Gu Zixuan stared back, looking into those deep, dark eyes, pondering if he knew he’d done wrong? Would he learn his lesson?
Yet, she overestimated the dog’s intelligence, or perhaps underestimated it.
Because this Alaskan puppy somehow thought her falling pose was fun, then right in front of her eyes, also collapsed, with a "woo..." fell!
