Chapter 26 Chu Miao wants to add Si Yelin on WeChat!
Si Yelin's expression changed when he heard the dog barking.
His body stiffened, his eyes trembled, and his breathing became heavy, as if he had thought of something bad.
Xiao Lang also instinctively stood in front of Si Yelin to protect him!
He knew Si Yelin was afraid of dogs!
He will always be in front of the dogs to block them!
"Little miracle doctor, second brother is afraid of dogs, let's hurry up and go!"
But Chu Miao didn't leave; instead, she headed in the direction the dog was barking.
A small dog was seen hiding weakly and warily behind the wall. When it saw Chu Miao coming, it shrank back in fear and deliberately made a fierce bark, but because it had been hungry for too long, its bark had no power at all.
The puppy was only about four or five months old, with black and white fur and a wild look.
The moment Chu Miao saw the puppy clearly, she stopped abruptly, standing rooted to the spot as if struck by lightning!
This dog...
It looks exactly like the Imperial Advisor's dog, Huahua!
However, the Grand Preceptor's dog has a red mole between its eyebrows, while this dog does not, and it is still a puppy.
It should be the same breed as the Imperial Advisor's dog.
Chu Miao calmed herself down, realizing she had been overthinking things. There were so many similar dogs; how could this one possibly be Hua Hua?
First of all, the size is not suitable.
However, this dog really looks too much like Hua Hua. She was startled when she saw it. If Si Ye Lin is really the Grand Preceptor, he wouldn't be completely unresponsive to this dog, would he?
Chu Miao had a sudden inspiration and shouted, "Young Master Si! Come and see! This dog is quite cute!"
Si Yelin didn't move, he just stared at the dog, his dark eyes seeming to slowly gather blood.
Xiao Lang's voice was almost cracking with anxiety: "Little Divine Doctor, let's stop looking at the dogs and leave quickly!"
Chu Miao didn't leave; instead, she reached out her hand to the puppy, "Sweetie, come to your big sister!"
The puppy looked at her warily, bared its teeth, and bared, "Woof!"
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you!"
The puppy looked so much like Hua Hua, and was even smaller than Hua Hua. It looked fierce yet cute, so Chu Miao softened her voice.
The puppy didn't move, still watching her warily. After a few seconds of stalemate, as if it was certain that Chu Miao wouldn't hurt it, it slowly shrank into her arms.
Smelling the familiar and pleasant scent emanating from Chu Miao, the puppy snuggled even closer to her.
Chu Miao picked him up and walked towards Xiao Lang and Si Yelin.
"Look, it's a stray dog. It must have gone without food for days. It's so hungry that all that's left is skin and bones."
"Young Master Si, do you think it's pitiful?" Chu Miao deliberately brought the dog close to Si Yelin's eyes.
Si Yelin didn't speak, but his eyes, which were always filled with coldness, became even more bloodshot, as if there were surging waves of blood in his dark eyes, and even the corners of his eyes turned red.
Seeing that he didn't react, Chu Miao moved the dog closer to him. She wondered why he wasn't reacting and was so afraid when he saw a dog that looked like Hua Hua.
Could it be that he really isn't the Imperial Advisor?
Or is he just pretending?
Chu Miao, refusing to believe it, shoved the dog into his arms, startling Xiao Lang who quickly stopped it: "Little Divine Doctor, take the dog away, Second Brother—"
"Step aside!"
The man's deep voice rang out, and before Chu Miao could react, she was pushed away.
The man was very strong, and Chu Miao was caught off guard. She was pushed so hard that she stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud.
The dog in my arms was so frightened that it darted into the bushes and disappeared.
Chu Miao looked up blankly at Si Yelin's strong reaction.
The man exuded a cold and aloof aura, yet the assassin was resolute and fierce, staring intently at him. His dark eyes were a turbulent black, concealing a mad crimson hue, and his entire body radiated a chilling and sinister aura.
Si Yelin, who was always aloof and cold like a flower on a high mountain, actually revealed such a crazy and ruthless expression.
Si Yelin also realized that he had overreacted. Those bad memories related to dogs were still playing in his mind, giving him a splitting headache.
His eyes darkened slightly, concealing the turmoil within. His jaw tightened, and he forced a smile, saying somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry."
Si Yelin's figure was tall and thin. He helped Chu Miao up, but awkwardly avoided looking at her.
"Xiao Lang, you take Miss Chu home. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Xiao Lang's heart was in his throat. Hearing Si Yelin's words, he nodded frantically: "Yes! Yes, yes! Second Brother, don't worry! I'll take the little divine doctor back! You don't need to worry about us! You go back first!"
Si Yelin turned around and got into the car with a cold expression.
"Hey! Second brother! Drive slowly! Please drive very slowly!"
Watching Si Yelin drive away, the car speeding down the main road and disappearing from sight, Xiao Lang was extremely worried, fearing that something might happen to Si Yelin in his emotionally unstable state.
"What's wrong with him?" Chu Miao asked, frowning.
Xiao Lang then quickly looked at Chu Miao, "Little Divine Doctor, did you hurt yourself just now? Please don't blame your second brother! He didn't push you on purpose. He's really afraid of dogs! And you brought the dog closer to him. He must have been thinking about those bad things, which is why he lost control and pushed you."
"Something bad?" Chu Miao frowned. "What bad thing?"
"Uh... Little miracle doctor, if I tell you, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone else! Actually, my second brother had a very tragic childhood..."
Xiao Lang glanced around and whispered, "You know that my second brother was an orphan from a young age, right? He was raised by Grandpa Si. His parents were murdered, and they even kidnapped him and locked him in the basement. He was only six or seven years old at the time, and he was locked in the basement for a whole month. During that month, they didn't give him any food and just made him fight with the dogs for food! In order to survive, my second brother had no choice but to fight with the dogs for food and was bitten all over his body. That's why my second brother was traumatized and afraid of dogs."
Chu Miao never expected that Si Yelin had such a tragic childhood. She thought about how she had been waving the dog in front of Si Yelin, and she wanted to slap herself.
She really didn't know...
Does that mean Si Yelin was entitled to push her? Wasn't what she just did deliberately reopen someone's childhood trauma?
"My second brother has been searching for the real culprit who hurt his parents all these years." Xiao Lang sighed. "He's had a tough time too. Think about it, he was locked in a basement when he was six or seven years old, in complete darkness, without food, and forced to fight with dogs for food. It left him with such deep psychological trauma. So, little doctor, please don't be angry with him. He didn't push you on purpose just now!"
"It was my fault for touching him carelessly, it's not his fault."
Chu Miao could still tell right from wrong. The other person was traumatized by dogs, yet she kept pushing the dog closer to them. She deserved to be pushed!
She also realized that Si Yelin was a real person with a childhood and a past, and he was not the Imperial Advisor. She shouldn't keep testing him.
She should think about how to apologize to Si Yelin...
Chu Miao thought of WeChat in this world!
No need for face-to-face interaction, no awkwardness, and you can even apologize!
Her eyes lit up, and she said, "I was wrong about this. Xiao Lang, give me Young Master Si's WeChat, I'll add him and apologize to him!"
