Chapter 958: Chapter 459: The Sour Stench of Love!_3

"With red bean filling!"

Lin Baici didn’t stand on ceremony with the counselor.

The night breeze was somewhat cold, but during the New Year festivities, the air was filled with the happy scent of family!

Gu Qingxiang came over with two hawthorn candies on sticks and handed them to Lin Baici.

"Feed me!"

Lin Baici opened his mouth!

The counselor raised an eyebrow, glanced at the vendor beside them, and feeling a bit embarrassed, stuffed the hawthorn candy into Lin Baici’s hands, "Eat it yourself!"

"Then I’ll feed you!"

Lin Baici took the hawthorn candy and held it near Gu Qingxiang’s mouth.

The counselor turned her head away.

But the sugar-coated hawthorn still touched her lips.

Lin Baici couldn’t resist and gave a little push, rubbing it against her lips.

So smooth!

"Stop it!"

Gu Qingxiang tried to push Lin Baici’s hand away.

"If you won’t eat, then I’ll have to feed you with my mouth!"

Lin Baici threatened.

Gu Qingxiang turned and walked away.

"Oh no, this game’s gone too far!"

Lin Baici’s heart jumped, and he quickly reached out to pull her back.

Gu Qingxiang showed some resistance.

"Ha ha, just started dating, right? Don’t be shy. I’ve seen plenty of couples hugging and kissing in the street!"

The vendor, envious, believed this was the essence of youth, and then handed Lin Baici the freshly made rainbow cotton candy.

"Gu Qingxiang, here, a piece of cloud for you!"

Lin Baici was reminded of "A Chinese Odyssey", where he actually wanted to say, whenever you’re in danger, no matter where you are, just call me and I will fly over on a cloud to save you.

But after a thought, feeling utterly embarrassed, he just couldn’t say it out loud.

This, after all, is real life, not a teen idol drama!

Gu Qingxiang’s eyes lit up. Cotton candy is commonplace, but Lin Baici’s words weren’t.

"Thank you!"

Gu Qingxiang took the cotton candy, looked at it,

and couldn’t bear to eat it!

After Lin Baici claimed his ’fatty sheep’, he and the counselor walked back without saying much, but the atmosphere was harmonious.

Damn it, why won’t it snow?

Don’t you understand what’s romantic?

Lin Baici gazed at the stars in the sky, eagerly wishing for a "Taboo Thing" that could make it snow.

"After the semester starts, will you be busy with work?"

Lin Baici slowed down his pace, trying to drag the evening out a little longer, so he’d have an excuse to stay the night.

"It’s manageable!"

Gu Qingxiang twirled the cotton candy in her hand. "And you shouldn’t keep skipping class; it’s not good for you!"

Lin Baici wanted to say that going to college is all about getting a good job and making lots of money, and that he had already achieved that and could afford to take care of her, but when the words reached his lips, they all turned into mumbles of agreement.

[How humiliating! You’re a man at the top of the food chain, not someone’s little lapdog!]

The two of them chatted sporadically as they made their way back to the residential complex. They had only walked a short distance when they heard clamor, children’s crying, and the occasional fierce barking of dogs up ahead.

"Did that dog bite someone?"

Walking along the concrete path of the complex for a few minutes, Lin Baici saw a group of people gathered ahead, watching the commotion as a man in his fifties was ’arguing eloquently’.

"I often see your dog off its leash, running wild around the complex!"

Someone who had been frightened by the dog took the opportunity to express their dissatisfaction.

"My Erlang doesn’t bite people!"

Xu Shihua argued.

"Even so, you gotta put it on a leash. Ever heard of responsible pet ownership?"

Someone reminded him.

"My Erlang is obedient and doesn’t bite. Why should I leash it?"

Xu Shihua had his own rationale. "Besides, if it bites someone, I’ll just pay compensation!"

"Didn’t it just bite someone today?"

A few meters away, an eight- or nine-year-old child wearing roller skates sat on the ground, crying non-stop.

"He fell on his own!"

Xu Shihua denied it.

"It was because your dog suddenly rushed out and scared him, otherwise why would my baby fall?"

The child’s grandmother was so angry her face turned green.

"So what you’re saying is, if I walk by with my dog and the people next to me fall down, it’s all my fault?"

Xu Shihua questioned back.

"Regardless, my baby is hurt today, and it’s because of your dog!"

The child’s grandmother emphasized.

"Trying to extort me, are you?"

Xu Shihua sniffed disdainfully. "Pfft, you might as well lie down yourself and claim I induced a heart attack in you with anger!"

"Tui!"

"You disrespectful cur!"

It has to be said that Xu Shihua was quite the fighter, clearly skilled in confrontation, and as per the discussions around, people knew him as a frequent offender who didn’t leash his dog and had argued with many.

"You..."

The grandmother was at a loss with her words.

"Just call the police!"

Someone suggested.

"Go ahead, call them. The police will agree he fell on his own!"

Xu Shihua was far from panicked. The complex didn’t have surveillance cameras. Witnesses?

Who saw anything?

Even if they did, who would bother to come forward and say?

Afraid they’d inadvertently provoke someone to smash their home windows!

Xu Shihua snorted coldly, triumphantly smug, because in this area, he was known as a capable man!

Of course, this was just Xu Shihua’s own impression. Everyone else thought he was nothing but a scoundrel.

"That dog of yours is a Tosa, right? Large breeds aren’t allowed to be kept!"

From within the crowd, a woman walking a Teddy inquired.

For sure, that dog was handsome!

"Ah, good eye. I got this dog brought over from the land of the rising sun by a friend, a purebred, cost me well over a hundred thousand!"

Xu Shihua boasted. He loved eating dog meat as much as he loved keeping dogs, especially rare breeds. Walking with his dog and being the center of attention made him feel like the center of the world.

In plain terms, Xu Shihua craved attention, but as a person, he was too ordinary, so he had to rely on keeping such dogs to fulfill his desire for attention.

"Keep boasting. You think foreign dogs can be brought across customs?"

Someone doubted his claim.

"Ignorant, aren’t you?"

Xu Shihua started bragging. He had his own cunning way of thinking: by proclaiming his views, there would be even fewer daredevils willing to offend him.
