He Miao handed Onion over suspiciously. She thought that Onion would struggle, but it acted as natural as when it was in her arms. It even rolled around on Jing Yan’s arm and stuck out its tongue.

Was this the effect of being the male lead?

When she saw Grandpa Jing downstairs, Onion was trembling in fear and had been hiding in her arms.

Why was it acting so familiar with Jing Yan now?

Mu Xiao looked at the man and the dog curiously. “Brother Yan, could it be that this dog learned from her master after seeing her master sticking to you all the time?”

“When did I stick to him?” He Miao said disapprovingly.

Mu Xiao was stunned, unable to understand why she was acting so hypocritically.

Even if she really does not like Jing Yan at all now, as she said, everyone could see what she had done in the past.

Speechless, He Miao received Mu Xiao’s disdainful gaze. She reached out his hand to Jing Yan. “Give it back.”

“Do your homework first, I’ll hold it for you for a while.” Jing Yan avoided her hand and pointed at the computer on the desk. “Sit there.”

“Me?” He Miao had only taught himself a little bit of programming and was still far from being able to put it into practice. “I don’t know what to do.”

“I don’t need you to use your brain. I’ll tell you what to do.” Jing Yan pulled a stool over and sat beside her. He said with confidence, “My hand hasn’t recovered yet, so I can’t type.”

“Alright,” she said. He Miao resigned himself to her fate and sat in front of the computer. She would do whatever Jing Yan said, and for a moment, only the sound of typing and Jing Yan’s cold instructions could be heard in the room.

Sometimes, when He Miao did something wrong, Jing Yan would patiently teach her. The atmosphere between the two of them was so harmonious that Mu Xiao was full of question marks.

Before dinner, she finally finished her assignment, but Jing Yan was still holding the dog and refused to let go.

He studied the dog repeatedly for the entire afternoon, but he could not find anything special about it. He really could not figure out why he would possess the stupid dog at night.

He also found that he had been staying in the dog’s body for a longer time these days. He would only return to his body in the early morning when it was almost time for school.

Jing Yan had a bad premonition. At this rate, he might completely become He Miao’s stupid dog, never to wake up again.

Thinking of this, his back broke out in a cold sweat. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the dog, and he accidentally hurt Onion. The dog barked and jumped out of his arms.

He Miao immediately went up to check. She heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Onion was not injured.

“Since we’re done, we’ll be leaving.” She picked up Onion and turned to leave.

“Don’t go, I …” Jing Yan quickly stopped her.

He Miao looked at him in confusion. Jing Yan’s face flushed red, and after a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence. “Grandpa wants you to stay… Let’s have dinner.”

“No need,” He Miao rejected him decisively, afraid that this man would snatch her dog away.

She did not know why Onion suddenly became so popular, but she knew that he had an ulterior motive.

The Young Master was fine, but he passed up so many precious dogs before and now wanted to fight with her for her dog. Was it at odds with Jing Yan’s life?

Jing Yan looked at the sky and felt anxious, but he could not force her to stay. He could only watch her leave with the dog.

Mu Xiao still wanted to say something, but when he looked at the time, he suddenly remembered that he had a drinking session tonight, so he did not stay any longer.

As soon as He Miao arrived home, He Wei came up to her warmly. “Sister, why are you back so late? it’s getting dark. I’m so worried about you. By the way, I heard that you went to Jing Yan’s house?”

He Miao nodded with a fake smile. She was not concerned about her, but she wanted to know why she went to Jing Yan’s place.

She could not be bothered to feign civility with He Wei. After all, she was the real female lead. As a background supporting character, she had to be honest and not be a stumbling block to the female lead.

She told He Wei everything that had happened, and He Wei’s mouth was wide open in shock. “You said that Jing Yan personally invited you?”

“Yup.” She nodded and explained, “He’s taken a fancy to my dog.”

He Wei’s gaze shifted to Onion as she muttered in disbelief, “I see. So Jing Yan likes dogs.”

He Miao did not say anything more. She drank a cup of warm milk and went back to her room to take a shower.

Before she was done, she was startled by a scream from downstairs.

She did not want to pay attention to it and was about to turn on the shower to continue showering when she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

It was too quiet. In the past, whenever there was a big commotion downstairs, Onion would bark non-stop. Because of this, He Feng had even impatiently scolded Onion before.

Why did Onion not react to the loud noise downstairs?

Did something happen to Onion?
