“Can I visit and pet the dog?”

Su Cheng ignored Gu Ruoxue's situation and just asked the pet shop staff.

"Of course, you are welcome to visit."

The staff member was still smiling. Because Gu Ruoxue kept her head down, he couldn't see her beauty clearly. Otherwise, he would be stunned and captured by her pitiful appearance.

The staff led the two to the pet area, introduced them to a well-behaved, obedient and cute small Bichon Frise, and then turned around to continue busy with other things.

"Hey."

Seeing the staff walking away, Su Cheng urged Gu Ruoxue, saying, "Try to touch it."

"Ah...oh."

Hearing him call like that, Gu Ruoxue shuddered, then suppressed her fear. She took a deep breath, then squatted in front of the Bichon Frise, stretched out her slender white palm, and tried to slowly stroke its fur.

The Bichon Frise seemed to sense a stranger and subconsciously raised its head. This action scared Gu Ruoxue so much that she almost fell backwards.

Fortunately, Su Cheng grabbed her white and soft hand in time and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it won't bite you, it just wanted to smell your scent just now."

Their hands stopped in mid-air, Su Cheng grasped the back of her hand. Such an intimate and ambiguous action made Gu Ruoxue feel a little uncomfortable as if she was electrocuted.

She wanted to pull her hand away, but Su Cheng held it even tighter, which made her panic. She quickly said in a tender voice: "Let go...let go of me..."

"At this point, you still want to hide?"

Su Cheng stared at her with burning eyes and said, "You can't solve any problems by escaping like this. Have you forgotten what you said to me?"

And every word he said was like a needle piercing her heart, making her feel a little embarrassed, but more ashamed.

So, her originally stiff palm finally relaxed, and under the guidance of Su Cheng, she slowly touched the Bichon Frise, but just when she was about to touch the fluffy head, she subconsciously closed her eyes.

However, the expected pain did not come, but instead there was the touch of soft hair.

"Look, isn't it comfortable?"

Gu Ruoxue opened her eyes upon hearing that, and what she saw was Su Cheng's face that was so close to her.

Moreover, his eyes were full of encouragement and hope.

At this moment, there were clearly a lot of pets barking and staff noises around, but it seemed as if they had all stopped and disappeared. The whole world was so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be heard.

But the next second——

The two of them forgot to breathe for a moment and stared at each other at close range.

Chapter 18

"Woof~"

The sudden barking of a dog broke the silence. The two suddenly woke up and turned to look at the source of the sound. Only then did they realize that the Bichon Frise had stood up without them knowing when.

Then, the two of them took back their hands and turned their heads to the side unnaturally. Su Cheng coughed lightly and said first: "Um...you can touch it yourself and try it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ruoxue nodded gently, lowered her head, and gently stroked the Bichon Frise. After a moment, she murmured, "It feels almost the same as a cat..."

"Ah."

Seeing that Gu Ruoxue no longer seemed afraid, he also felt relieved.

Then, he prepared to increase the difficulty. He pointed to a large dog on the other side and said, "Dog over there, do you want to give it a try? If you dare, you'll pass."

"Ah, it seems like you look down on me."

Gu Ruoxue withdrew her hand, full of confidence, and looked in the direction of his finger. However, she couldn't hold it in any longer and backed down.

I saw a large dog with an incredibly heavy weight lying in an iron cage.

Just thinking about touching it, an indescribable fear instantly swept through her heart, causing her delicate body to tremble violently and uncontrollably.

In her eyes, small and large are two completely different species!

Small dogs are about the same size as cats, so she can overcome it.

But this large dog...

"What, you don't dare?"

Su Cheng seemed to notice her retreat and spoke provocatively.

"That's a really bad way of provoking someone, but I really can't refute it."

"You really just admitted it?"

Su Cheng was very surprised. He thought she would be stubborn, but she actually admitted directly that she didn't dare to go.

This directly disrupted his plans and made him a little overwhelmed, with no idea what to do next.

However, the most important thing in education is to lead by example.

then--

"Don't look at him..."

As Su Cheng spoke, he approached the cage, pointed at the dog's eyes, and explained to Gu Ruoxue: "We can actually tell from the dog's eyes whether it will bite people."

Gu Ruoxue watched carefully from the side and found that the large dog inside had bright eyes and was very gentle, and gave people a very righteous feeling.

The most important thing is that it didn't seem to have the desire to bite people. Instead, it seemed very friendly, and even wagged its tail when Su Cheng approached.

This reassured her, and she nodded and asked, "So, you mean it won't bite?"

Seeing this, Su Cheng immediately took the opportunity to say, "Yes, look, this dog has clear eyes and is obviously a very kind and good dog. If you touch it, not only don't you have to worry about it biting you, it will even cooperate with you to touch it."

At this point, Su Cheng began to demonstrate. He stretched out his hand, made a Nazi salute, and gently poked the tip of the dog's nose with his palm.

Then, the dog came over affectionately and took a bite as if it had smelled a familiar scent.

then…

That’s all…

..............................

County hospital.

Su Cheng and Gu Ruoxue sat on the bench in the corridor.

The air was filled with a faint scent of disinfectant, mixed with a hint of medicine, making the atmosphere here slightly depressing.

Moreover, there was an atmosphere of awkwardness and silence between the two.

Just now, Su Cheng used his actions to tell Gu Ruoxue why the dog was locked in the cage.

One of Su Cheng's fingers was disinfected and bandaged properly, but a faint red mark was still left, which was very glaring.

"That... was just an accident."

Even now, Su Cheng still explained stubbornly that because the matter was too embarrassing, he was unwilling to admit that all dogs were bad.

Gu Ruoxue was silently peeling an apple on the side. She didn't say anything and no one knew what she was thinking. In short, the entire corridor fell into an eerie silence.

"Crack, click, click..."

After peeling the apple, she handed it to Su Cheng.

Su Cheng took it and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Su Cheng took the apple, took a bite, and then continued to defend himself, saying, "In fact, most dogs will not actively attack people. I just teased the dog, which caused it to hurt people!"

"Is that right?"

Gu Ruoxue still didn't say anything, but just raised her head and looked at him seriously. Her tone, expression and attitude were all cold. However, the next second, her eyes were directed to his injured finger.

This made Su Cheng's cheeks start to get hot. In order to cover it up, he had to cough a few times and stopped talking. This reaction made Gu Ruoxue laugh softly.

Su Cheng sighed inwardly. He originally wanted to help her get rid of her fear, but unexpectedly, this backfired and made her even more disgusted with dogs.

That’s all, let it be.

Just as Su Cheng was sighing, a man walked out of the door next to him. Seeing this, he stood up from his seat, put the apple on the chair, and said to Gu Ruoxue next to him: "I'm going to get the injection. Wait for me outside for a while."

"Ok."

Gu Ruoxue nodded and watched him leave. Only when he walked into the room did she look away and put the apple peel wrapped in paper towel into the trash can beside her.

After a few minutes

Su Cheng came out after getting the injection.

Although it was very expensive, he didn't feel like he was losing out.

Because the dog that bit him was a pet dog and it didn't have rabies.

The shot was just a tetanus shot.

After returning to the bench, he picked up the apple, sat down and took two bites, then said to Gu Ruoxue next to him again: "Sorry, I ruined the date."

"It's ok."

Gu Ruoxue shook her head, indicating that she didn't mind, but then she added: "However, your judgment needs to be improved."

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Su Cheng was speechless and stopped trying to defend himself: "Dogs are good friends of humans, but it's obvious that the one just now was not."

At first, Gu Ruoxue was playing with her long hair that hung vertically to her chest. This sentence seemed to have inexplicably touched her funny bone. She was stunned for a moment, then blinked twice.

Then he suddenly turned his back and his shoulders began to tremble, as if he was trying to hold back laughter.

Su Cheng couldn't help but wonder.

Logically speaking, isn't what you just said funny?

There is no reason for Gu Ruoxue to laugh?

So isn’t Gu Ruoxue’s sense of humor just too weird?

Finally, after a few seconds, Gu Ruoxue stopped trembling and turned around to look at him.

She sighed slightly, turned around as if to hold back a laugh, wiped her eyes, and with a smile still on her lips, she said to him, "So you can admit your mistakes, too. I thought you would continue to quibble, or just pretend that you weren't bitten."

"Uh……"

After hearing what she said, Su Cheng finally understood why Gu Ruoxue was laughing just now.

It turned out that she was laughing at her own stubbornness.

He was still a little embarrassed to be pointed out like this, so he coughed lightly and asked, "Um, where are we going later?"

He didn't know the specific itinerary for today's date.

However, Gu Ruoxue seemed to be asked. She hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Let's find a place to have lunch first."

Before Su Cheng could respond, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

This made the two of them lower their heads at the same time, and then Su Cheng took out his mobile phone. He glanced at it casually and found that the screen was flashing with an unfamiliar number, and it was not even a domestic number.

Then, he handed it to Gu Ruoxue without hesitation and asked her to answer the phone.

Gu Ruoxue took the phone, put it to her ear, and asked, "Hello...?"

Then the conversation changed to other national languages.

Although Su Cheng felt strange, he still went to the toilet on his own initiative and did not intend to eavesdrop on the conversation. When he came back, he saw Gu Ruoxue sitting in her seat, playing with her mobile phone.

Su Cheng couldn't help but ask curiously: "Um... do you know any foreign friends?"

Gu Ruoxue took a deep breath, put the phone back into Su Cheng's hand, calmed down her agitated heart, and then slowly said: "It's my mother..."

Su Cheng was stunned when he heard this.

Because this sentence contains too much information.

First of all, Gu Ruoxue is actually a mixed-race?

Secondly, it is possible that she is a foreigner!

"I am from Yan country. I came back from abroad when I was in elementary school."

Gu Ruoxue explained calmly, as if she could see through his inner thoughts.

Su Cheng said "oh", and although he was curious, he didn't continue asking.
