Jiang Shuangying is back!
Ye Suchi quickly jumped down from the windowsill.
Wait a minute...
He suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at the ground...
At the items on the floor that originally belonged to the table, and the quilt on the bed that was now ruined...
Jiang Shuangying, outside the door, was opening the door while talking to her friends: "Handsome is really smart and well-behaved. You'll see when you meet him. Destructive? He wouldn't do that. He's probably sleeping right now."
"Haha, we'll have to see that for ourselves," Jiang Shuangying's classmates and friends laughed.
"A well-behaved Husky? I'm not quite convinced."
Jiang Shuangying pushed the door open and looked up.
"..."
She was shocked to see the mess in her home, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.
The culprit, Handsome, was sitting obediently on the side with a grin, wagging his tail, and next to him was a mouse, looking rather embarrassed.
Ye Suchi was trying hard to maintain an innocent and lovely smile. He swore it was the quilt that started it!
No, no, no, it was the cat!
"What's wrong, Little Ying?" someone behind Jiang Shuangying asked.
Jiang Shuangying massaged her temples in frustration. Maybe Handsome's morning performance had made her too confident, and she forgot that this was a Husky from the demolition office!
"This is?" someone peeked into the room and burst into laughter immediately.
"Hahaha, I knew it! The demolition office director Husky!"
"My goodness, I'm sorry, Little Ying, but I just can't help laughing, hahaha..."
"This is really awkward."
"..."
"The taste of being proven wrong in an instant is really something..." Jiang Shuangying quietly pushed the door open, staring with her beautiful eyes, gritting her teeth and pointing at the innocent and pure-looking little Husky.
"I'm telling you, Little Ying, you have to hold it in!"
"Yeah, yeah, dog meat hot pot is pretty tasty."
"I brought Sichuan peppercorns and star anise!"
"You guys..." Jiang Shuangying helplessly turned to look at these teasing friends, "are still making fun over there!"
"Hehe." A sweet and lovely-looking girl walked over with a smile, pinched the little Husky's paws, and said to him, "You little rascal, your owner was just praising you to us, and now you've proven her wrong. What do you think your punishment should be?"
It really wasn't his fault! It was all that black cat! Ye Suchi felt like crying but had no choice but to act cute, sticking his tongue out and covering the girl's fingers with a layer of drool.
"Ah~" the girl let out a soft cry and pulled her slender fingers back.
Mmm, salty.
Come to think of it, the students from the drama academy really do have high looks...
Ye Suchi looked at the students who came in with Jiang Shuangying. Besides Jiang Shuangying, there were two guys and three girls, all with looks above seven points. Of course, his Jiang Shuangying was the most beautiful.
"Ah! There's a mouse!" The girl spotted Lao Fei hiding by the shoe cabinet and screamed.
"What! Bai Xuan, where's the mouse?" A guy behind her stood up, holding a vegetable and looking around.
Lao Fei, having lived so long, naturally knew all about humans' attitudes. As soon as he sensed something was wrong, he zipped away and disappeared.
Ye Suchi also felt relieved. His first believer mustn't get killed.
"Gone," Bai Xuan said in confusion, looking down and searching, "Maybe it ran away."
Jiang Shuangying knew they were talking about the mouse that had followed her dog back, but she didn't want to mention it. After all, it didn't sound good to have a mouse in a girl's room.
"It's the second floor; it probably ran in from outside," another girl said.
Everyone thought it made sense and stopped paying attention to it.
Bai Xuan petted Ye Suchi again and asked Jiang Shuangying, "Can I hold him?"
Jiang Shuangying naturally agreed, nodded, and then went to clean up. The other two girls also helped her, while the remaining two guys put two plastic bags of ingredients into the kitchen.
"So cute, so handsome," the sweet girl said as she hugged Ye Suchi. As she stood up, her body immediately dropped a bit, "Haha, he's heavy!"
She petted Ye Suchi, who was also contentedly rubbing against her. Although she was a bit small, she was quite soft.
Bai Xuan was also very pretty, with a sweet look, somewhat resembling a certain actress from his previous life who was called a "fairy-like" star. Although she wasn't as stunningly beautiful as Jiang Shuangying, she had her own charm.
Hey, being a dog has its perks, being the center of attention and fought over by beautiful girls.
"This Husky is really funny, just like the photos online," a guy came out of the kitchen and also wanted to play with Ye Suchi, reaching out to touch him.
What are you doing? Ye Suchi thought unhappily, don't you know that physical contact between guys is not appropriate!
"Huh?" Seeing that the little Husky actually turned his head away, the guy tried again, not giving up.
Hey, such a lack of awareness! Ye Suchi turned his head and burrowed into the girl's arms. Can just anyone touch Dog Grandpa's head?
Only pretty girls are allowed to~
"Haha, Tong Hong, the little Husky doesn't like you~" Bai Xuan laughed even harder. The dog's obvious favoritism gave her a sense of proud superiority. She was the one the dog liked the most!
"Pfft." Tong Hong rolled his eyes. It's just a dog. If it doesn't want to be touched, fine. Who cares.
"Xiao Ying, don't get too excited," a girl's voice came from the other side, trying to hold back her laughter.
And Jiang Shuangying, clenching and unclenching her fists, said in a deep voice, "Handsome! Why did you tear the quilt!"
After they had cleaned up the things on the floor by the bed, Jiang Shuangying was tugged by a friend, pointing to the state of the bed.
At this moment, Jiang Shuangying felt a mix of emotions. Looking at the tattered quilt with countless footprints, Jiang Shuangying could only keep telling herself that Handsome was just a little dog, and he had saved her. As her savior, she shouldn't fuss over such a small thing.
However...
Could Huskies not escape the curse of being destructive?
Ye Suchi was confused when he heard Jiang Shuangying's words. It wasn't until the girl held him up to the bed that he remembered his afternoon feat...
This...
The little Husky immediately put on a sweet smile, his round eyes looking extremely innocent.
Seeing her dog like this, Jiang Shuangying had no more temper and muttered, "Handsome, if you're not good again, you'll be put in the cage."
Ah, if that were the case, he would definitely have to stage a Husky jailbreak.
"You little Husky, you're really naughty," Bai Xuan tapped the little Husky's nose in her arms and laughed.
Ye Suchi felt wronged. He didn't want to, and he was also helpless.
And what's with the "little Husky"!
So ugly!
"Forget it, forget it." Jiang Shuangying sighed helplessly. She had chosen to raise this Husky, so she had to deal with it, no matter what. She quickly tidied up the bed and then directed everyone to wash the vegetables.
Turns out, after seeing the funny little Husky in her WeChat moments, a few of her close classmates had suggested getting together for hot pot at her place after their meeting—under the guise of "visiting the silly pup."
But really, the "visit the pup" part was just an excuse! They just wanted to eat together! Ye Suqi grumbled inwardly as he sat by the kitchen door, supervising their work like a foreman.
Especially supervising the two guys.
After careful observation, Ye Suqi noticed that one of the guys and one of the girls were clearly a couple—their interactions were frequent, and they radiated sickeningly sweet couple energy.
Ah, that sweet, sweet—wait, no. Sweet? More like nauseating.
Who gave them the right to spread their couple vibes in someone else's home?! Did their teachers teach them to flaunt their love in public?!
The little Husky sat solemnly in front of the kitchen like an ancient statue, exuding an aura of profound loneliness.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Shuangying passed by and saw Shuai Ge staring resolutely at the group washing vegetables. Amused, she scooped him up.
"Huh?" She gave Ye Suqi a puzzled look. "Shuai Ge, have you gotten bigger? You're so heavy now."
She set him down and examined him closely. He did seem a bit larger—unexpectedly heavy. Maybe it was just her imagination. It wasn't like dogs grew that much in a single day.
Ye Suqi yawned widely. Nonsense. He had the perfect physique.
Once everything was ready, a modest wooden dining table was set with an induction cooker, the pot bubbling with broth.
"Alright, let's eat!" Jiang Shuangying announced after bringing out the prepared dishes.
As she took her seat, the others followed.
Ye Suqi was contemplating whether to sit on a chair or in Jiang Shuangying's lap when he noticed a guy named Tong Hong walking toward her with a smug grin plastered on his face.
Bai Xuan was already sitting on Jiang Shuangying's right, leaving the left seat open.
Tong Hong, smiling, was about to take that seat when he nearly kicked Ye Suqi, who was lurking nearby.
"Grrr!" Ye Suqi growled. Watch where you're stepping!
Tong Hong startled, then dismissed it when he saw it was just Jiang Shuangying's pet. He pulled out the chair, ready to sit—
But just then, someone (or rather, something) beat him to it.
Ye Suqi plopped onto the chair triumphantly, baring his teeth at Tong Hong.
*Motherf—er, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Your stench is practically screaming it!*
A dog's nose was far too sensitive. While it often suffered from weird smells, it was damn useful in moments like this.
And right now, Tong Hong reeked of lust.
Tong Hong had been smitten with Jiang Shuangying since their first meeting. A girl like her—stunning even by drama school standards—was rare. On top of that, she had a great figure and a good personality, with no bad rumors about her.
But Jiang Shuangying had always kept him at arm's length. No matter how hard he tried—gifts, excuses to meet—she remained politely distant, grateful but never accepting. It drove him crazy.
As far as he knew, she didn't have a boyfriend or anyone she liked. So why the cold shoulder? He was tall, handsome, and well-off. Was she playing hard to get?
This gathering had been his idea, of course. The "let's see the Husky" excuse was just a way to get her to agree so he could spend time with her.
But now, his seat had been stolen… by a dog.
Awkward!
Still, for the sake of his image, he couldn't exactly argue with an animal.
"Ah, the little Husky wants to eat at the table too, huh?" he chuckled, reaching out to pat Ye Suqi's head.
Ye Suqi dodged. *This dog's head is precious—only pretty girls get to touch it.*
The evasion left Tong Hong even more awkward, his hand hovering midair. He couldn't put it down, nor could he just retract it.
Annoyance flickered in his chest. This damn dog had embarrassed him twice now—first in front of Bai Xuan, and now here. But he couldn't exactly pick a fight with a pet!
Meanwhile, Ye Suqi was thoroughly enjoying himself. As a dog, he could get away with anything as long as he didn't actually hurt anyone. At worst, people would just laugh and call him "mischievous."
"Shuai Ge, get down." Jiang Shuangying's command was half-hearted. She didn't actually want Tong Hong sitting next to her either.
Ye Suqi pretended not to hear, sitting primly on the chair, eyes fixed on the food like a well-behaved guest.
"Haha, so cute!" Bai Xuan giggled. "Why not let the little guy stay? Just give him his own bowl. What do you all think?"
The couple was too busy being lovey-dovey to care, as long as the dog didn't snatch food directly from the pot. The other girl, charmed by the Husky's antics, didn't mind either.
Jiang Shuangying happily went along with it, leaving Tong Hong as the sole dissenter. Defeated, he had no choice but to relent.
Old Fatty, hiding under the bed, watched the group enjoying their hot pot with deep resentment.
Meanwhile, Ye Suqi had successfully thwarted a potential suitor and was now enjoying VIP treatment from Jiang Shuangying herself.
Tong Hong stabbed his bowl irritably, glaring at the smug Husky—just as Ye Suqi shot him a taunting look.
Tong Hong froze.
Was this dog… *mocking* him?
The disdain in its eyes was way too human-like. Sure, Huskies were known for their judgmental stares, but this felt personal. It pissed him off.
*Just a damn dog. Once I win Jiang Shuangying over, I'll deal with you.*
Honestly, why did she even have a dog? Hadn't she heard the saying, *Women shouldn't raise dogs*?
Unless… she had some kind of *kink*…
Ye Suqi's sharp eyes caught the sleazy shift in Tong Hong's expression. Having been a guy for over twenty years in his past life, he knew *exactly* what that look meant.
The little Husky narrowed his eyes.
*Tong Hong, huh? Noted. Consider yourself on the watchlist.*
