“Bro, what the heck is this monster!” Lin Yun grabbed Lin Hai’s arm, staring at the creature in the house with a terrified look.
Before Lin Hai could even react, Ah Hua shot out like a rocket.
Oh, for crying out loud!
Lin Hai stepped forward and kicked Ah Hua to the side.
“Get out of here. You’ve turned this ugly, and you still dare to come out and scare people?”
“Yunyun, don’t be scared. This is your brother’s pet. It’s incredibly gentle. When you’re bored, you can just beat it up for fun.”
Pfft!
Ah Hua let out a mournful whine. “Please, no, Dad!”
Lin Hai ignored it and led his parents inside the house.
Song Qin kept staring at Ah Hua, the more she looked, the stranger she found it.
“Xiao Hai, what kind of animal is this? I’ve never seen anything like it.”
“There’s a lot you haven’t seen. It’s a city thing. How would a country old lady like you ever get to see it? Making a big fuss over nothing!” Lin Wen said, glaring.
“None of your business! I’m asking my son, not you.” Song Qin shot Lin Wen a dirty look.
Lin Hai shook his head, chuckling to himself. His parents really argued no matter where they were.
“Mom, it’s just a Teddy dog named Ah Hua. It ate something weird and mutated, so it looks a bit unusual.”
“Teddy? The Teddies on TV don’t look like that, though. This is way too different.”
Ah Hua was smart. Hearing Lin Hai’s words, it realized that the elderly woman in front of it was his grandmother.
It immediately ran over to Song Qin, shaking its head, wagging its tail, rubbing against her legs, and acting all cute.
“Oh my, this dog is just adorable.” Loving dogs must be a woman’s instinct; Song Qin quickly squatted down, stroking Ah Hua’s head. You could tell she was absolutely smitten.
Lin Hai rolled his eyes. This stupid dog was such a suck-up.
“Hey, what about that female ghost?” Lin Hai wasn’t sure if Chu Lin’er had left after their last conversation.
“In your room,” Ah Hua said while still playing with Song Qin.
Pfft!
Oh, for heaven’s sake. She was like a freeloader, impossible to get rid of.
He’d settle the parents first, then deal with her later.
He led his parents to the bedroom on the second floor.
“Dad, Mom, you guys stay in this room.”
“Oh my, this room is so nice, even better than those rich people’s houses on TV.” Song Qin looked around, touching this and that, overjoyed.
“Hmph, look at you, so uncultured, like you’ve never seen anything before,” Lin Wen said, craning his neck smugly.
“So what if I haven’t? You stubborn old man, I’m in a good mood today, don’t you start with me.”
“Sigh,” Lin Hai shook his head. Here they go again.
“Woof woof!” Ah Hua suddenly barked at Lin Wen, startling him.
Lin Hai was about to go kick it, but Ah Hua immediately ran to Song Qin and started acting cute again.
This delighted Song Qin.
“Oh my, this Ah Hua is so smart! It figured out who’s the good and bad person so quickly. I just love it to death.” Song Qin squatted down, hugging Ah Hua’s head and stroking it.
“Mmm, mmm…” Ah Hua made sounds of pure bliss.
Damn, this dog is practically a genius!
Lin Hai’s mouth hung open in shock.
His parents had only just arrived, and it already figured out who was in charge of this house. It immediately jumped out to show its allegiance.
No need to guess—just by looking at Song Qin’s delighted face, you knew Ah Hua had succeeded. It had definitely carved out a place in her heart.
“Bro, where do I stay?” Lin Yun looked at her parents’ beautiful, high-end room and started feeling excited about her own.
“It’s next door. I’ll take you there.” Liu Xinyue took Lin Yun’s small hand and led her away.
“Wow! It’s so beautiful! I feel like a princess!” Lin Yun exclaimed with joy as she entered the room, looking at the soft pink decorations.
She lay back on the plush bed with her arms stretched out, feeling like she was dreaming.
Seeing how happy his parents and little sister looked filled Lin Hai with warmth. Making his family happy felt more valuable to him than anything else.
Just then, Guang Tou Qiang walked upstairs.
“Master, everything’s put away. How about we take Grandmaster and the others to eat first?”
Guang Tou Qiang now looked at Lin Wen with exceptional fondness, and the way he called him “Grandmaster” felt incredibly natural.
After all, the Grandmaster had said that Qiang was a good guy and told the Master to teach him properly.
Just thinking about it made Guang Tou Qiang’s heart swell with happiness.
“Let’s go, Mom, Dad. Let’s grab a bite to eat first.” Lin Hai was feeling a bit hungry too.
Lin Wen had been sitting on the bed, getting a feel for it, and quickly got up when Lin Hai spoke.
But he stood up too fast and almost bumped into Song Qin.
“Can’t you be a little slower? You’re a grown man, still so rash,” Song Qin said with a frown.
“How was I supposed to know the bed was this soft?” Lin Wen retorted, craning his neck.
“Woof woof!” Seeing this, Ah Hua jumped out and started barking fiercely at Lin Wen.
Song Qin immediately broke into a wide smile.
“Good Ah Hua, bite this grumpy old man for me!”
Before Song Qin finished speaking, Guang Tou Qiang rushed over and kicked Ah Hua aside.
“Damn you, you stupid dog! You bark at my Grandmaster again, and I’ll stew you!”
“Qiang, why did you kick Ah Hua? Oh my poor Ah Hua, come here, let Grandma see if it hurts?” Song Qin said reproachfully, quickly hugging Ah Hua, looking heartbroken.
Lin Wen, meanwhile, was grinning from ear to ear.
“Qiang, if this stupid dog dares to bark again, you just hit it!”
“You got it!” Guang Tou Qiang laughed with a big grin.
“Qiang, don’t listen to that stubborn old man,” Song Qin quickly interjected.
“Uh…” Guang Tou Qiang rubbed his shiny bald head, not sure what to do.
“Woof woof woof!” At that moment, Ah Hua barked provocatively at Guang Tou Qiang.
“Qiang, hit it!” Lin Wen encouraged.
“Stupid dog, you want to bark?!” Guang Tou Qiang started to lunge again.
Ah Hua swiftly ran behind Song Qin.
“Bark again, and see if I don’t hit you!” Guang Tou Qiang threatened fiercely.
“Woof woof woof!” Ah Hua, hiding behind Song Qin, barked loudly again.
“Damn it! Come out if you’ve got the guts! Don’t hide behind Grandmaster’s wife!” Guang Tou Qiang pointed at Ah Hua and cursed.
“Woof woof woof!” Ah Hua refused to come out, staying behind Song Qin and just kept barking.
“Hey, I’ve got a temper! You get out here!”
“Woof woof woof!”
“You come out!”
“Woof woof woof!”
“Gosh darn it! If you’re a male dog, get out here!”
“Woof woof woof!”
… …
“Oh, for goodness’ sake…” Lin Hai held his forehead in distress. With these two idiots around, living in this house is impossible.
Lin Wen was absolutely cracking up.
“Haha, Qiang, don’t listen to that old woman. If that stupid dog dares to come out, you hit it!”
“And whatever you want to learn from Xiao Hai, make him teach you. If he doesn’t teach you properly, you tell me, and I’ll help you hit him!”
Hearing this, Guang Tou Qiang got even more fired up.
“Stupid dog! You get out here! You dare to bark at my Grandmaster? I’ll beat the crap out of you!”
“Woof woof woof!”
“Damn it! Get out!”
“Woof woof woof!”
… …
Amidst this chaos, a figure suddenly floated over from Lin Hai’s bedroom.
Lin Hai looked and saw it was Chu Lin’er.
“So these are your parents? Should I say hello to them?” Chu Lin’er said with a faint, teasing smile.
Say hello my foot! You’re a ghost, how are you supposed to say hello to people? Blow some creepy cold wind at them?
That would scare his parents half to death!
Before Lin Hai could say anything, Chu Lin’er’s eyes lit up. She suddenly floated over to Ah Hua and straddled it.
“Ah Hua, charge! Bite that bald guy!” Chu Lin’er’s small face was excited as she commanded Ah Hua like a knight.
“Stupid dog! Come out if you’ve got the guts!”
“Woof woof woof!”
“Ah Hua, go go go!”
… …
Lin Hai stood there, dumbfounded, with a face full of despair.
Oh, you have got to be kidding me. Things were already chaotic, and now another troublemaker shows up.
Lin Hai let out a silent wail. This life is unbearable!
