Chapter 12 - Encounter (1/2)

Doctor obediently carried out She Yuan’s command and stayed away from Dave. With his limbs free, Dave felt relieved.

“Mr. She, why is Doctor always fastening on Dave? ”

“Because guarding beasts’ behaviors are a direct reflection of their masters’ emotions.”

Ruan Bai was stunned and a few seconds later, he asked, “So… You… You want to hold Dave?”

She Yuan had mixed feelings of anger and helplessness.

He asked, “Did you pass the exam of Electronic Machinery Course?”

Ruan Bai was about to nod when he suddenly recalled that he did learn from books that guarding beasts and their masters were greatly related to each other in character and behavior.

It could even be said that masters would acquire some characteristics from their own guarding beasts. Some masters had good ears and a keen sense of smell because their guarding beast were excellent in these respects. A guarding beast was a direct reflection of the state of its masters. The better the intelligence and physical strength of the master, the stronger the energy of the guarding beast.

So, the reason two guarding beasts loved each other was mostly because their masters loved each other; the reason two guarding beasts fought against each other was mostly because their masters were at daggers drawn.

As soon as he figured out what She Yuan meant, Ruan Bai flushed to the ears.

With a bright red face, he whispered, “Oh…”

“So you don’t have to worry about Dave. Let them play together.”

Ruan Bai nodded. She Yuan took his hand and drew him back into the kitchen, leaving Dave and Doctor in the drawing room.

Dave was so scared that the fine hair on his skin stood on end. ‘Master, look at me! I also want to take your hand. Do you no longer love me? Ah!!! Don’t leave me behind!’ he shouted in his heart.

Doctor crawled right up to Dave with satisfaction and poked Dave with his tail, as if to say, “Now you are mine.” Dave wanted to play dead, but Doctor took a big box of energy sticks from a drawer of the tea table, which attracted Dave’s attention. The energy sticks were the reserve grain prepared by She Yuan for Doctor, and happened to be Dave’s favorite food.

Dave lay down on the floor and played dead, but he squinted his eyes and kept staring at the energy sticks. ‘This type of energy stick seems to be expensive, so every time my master feeds me, he is unwilling to give me too many…’ After thinking for a while, Dave opened his eyes, pretended to have just come out of a coma, and then gave Doctor a questioning look, as if to say, “Are these energy sticks all for me?”

Doctor nodded and pushed the box forward. Dave gave a happy oink and started to eat.

Doctor had his own plan. He wrapped his long body around Dave and signalled that Dave could eat only in this way.

Dave pouts and compromised, “OK.”

Doctor was satisfied with Dave’s obedience. So he twined himself loosely around Dave and fed Dave the energy sticks one after another. Dave was also happy and thought, ‘He seems to be a good guy!’

In the kitchen, Ruan Bai was eating with She Yuan. ‘He’s always flirting with me. I have to do something. As a man, I should confront this problem and solve it,’ Ruan Bai thought.

“Mr. She, I want to talk to you. ”

She Yuan swallowed the last mouthful of porridge, wiped his mouth with a tissue and motioned Ruan Bai to go on speaking.

“Don’t you think that it’s improper to say something ambiguous to me?”

“No, I don’t. You and I are single. Can’t I pursue you?”
