“You!” Sun Xu was agitated by his contemptuous tone. His fist was aimed at Wen Mingyi who managed to dodge it. Just when he was about to retaliate, Zhang Heng appeared from nowhere. He grabbed Sun Xu’s collar from behind and banged the person directly against the wall.

Sun Xu’s friend rushed up when he saw this, but was stopped by Zhang Heng’s roommate.

“Are you done yet!” Zhang Heng glared at Sun Xu. “Are you so idle that you run around to do such stuff? Don’t you have anything better to do?”

When his scolding session finished, he saw that everyone around had their eyes on them. Considering that Wen Mingyi was now a public figure, he let it go, unwilling to continue pestering Sun Xu.

“Let’s go,” he said to Wen Mingyi.

Wen Mingyi ‘oh’-ed and walked to the staircase with him.

He smoothly took the bag from Zhang Heng’s roommate. After thanking him, he recalled something. Wen Mingyi asked Zhang Heng, “Are you not going to the bathroom?”

Zhang Heng shrugged. “I’m not here for the bathroom. I’ve been watching that grandkid Sun Xu. When he saw you go out of the classroom, he also followed. I was afraid he would find trouble with you. Aren’t you a celebrity now? If you fight with him at school, you will end up having a bad reputation.”

Wen Mingyi nodded, and stretched out his arms to give him a hug. “Didn’t expect this from you, ah Heng. You are actually quite attentive. Worthy of being old classmates for so many years!”

Zhang Heng glanced at him contemptuously. “We have been classmates for many years. You’ve never realized my attentiveness? This plastic classmate.”

“Doesn’t this just show us the truth.” Wen Mingyi patted his chest. “Just as distance determines the stamina of a horse, so does time reveal a person’s true heart 1 Chinese proverb: 路遥知马力，日久见人心 . Zhang Heng’s heart is indeed a caring heart.”

Zhang Heng was helpless. Fine, whatever Wen Mingyi says, only his words are the reasonable ones.

“But why did Sun Xu look for trouble with me?” Wen Mingyi was puzzled. “Firstly, I don’t know him, and secondly, I don’t often go to school. Why bother?”

“Hai 2 The word used 害 is “Hurt” but it has the same sound like a sigh, “Hai” ,” Zhang Heng sighed. “Isn’t it because you robbed certain people of the limelight as soon as you came. This Sun Xu has always thought he is the class’ Yi ge 3 akin to the most popular man of the class:一哥 , a crane amongst the chicken, hence the other guys look down on him. He had gotten closer to the girls, but after you came back, all the girls ran to your side. This crane was turned into an earth chicken by you. No wonder he finds you an eyesore.”

Wen Mingyi laughed when he heard these words. “You think he’s a crane? When there are no tigers on the mountains, even monkeys can be the king 4 Chinese Idiom: 山中无老虎，猴子称霸王啊. When there is no one more powerful, even a monkey, the next in line, will look like an alpha .”

“Okay, Tiger ge 5 Brother Tiger . Don’t talk about them, let’s go eat meat.”

“Let’s go.” Wen Mingyi smiled.

The three of them went to eat together and then returned to the dormitory.

Wen Mingyi had been allotted to a dorm room at X University. Zhang Heng was also one of his roommates, but he hadn’t been here more than twice, basically never. He wasn’t close with his other roommates either. Everyone here was of the same age, and with Zhang Heng as a bridge, they were able to quickly build relationships.

After school got over in the afternoon, the other roommates went back to the dormitory. He and Zhang Heng went to a nearby hot pot restaurant to attend a class reunion.

A lot of the classmates who didn’t have any class during the afternoon had already arrived. Seeing them arriving this late, one by one everyone made them drink. Zhang Heng drank happily; Wen Mingyi only drank a cup, continously saying that he had to go home soon. The parents wouldn’t allow it.

“You aren’t living at school?” The classmate asked in surprise. “Coming back to study at school without actually living here?”

Wen Mingyi shook his head.

“That’s too sad. Already in university, but still having to go home and be managed by parents.”

Wen Mingyi smiled. “It’s not that bad.”

Si Junduo did not control him much. In most cases, towards what he wanted, Si Junduo would not refuse him unless he seeked death itself.

“By the way, I can only stay till 8 o’clock tonight, I may even have to leave earlier.”

Everyone was puzzled. “So early? Do you have other things on?”

“No, but I have to go home before nine o’clock.”

“This can’t be!” The classmate wailed. “You are in university, and yet you have a curfew!”

There was no curfew, but while eating, having the person in front of you suddenly turn into a cat or a dog was going to be frightening. Hence, Wen Mingyi looked over at his classmates with a smile, neither admitting nor denying anything.

They were old classmates after all, no need to quibble over every detail. They talked for a while; reminiscing about the past and prosperous years, feeling the richness of university life, they ended up talking about Wen Mingyi once more.

“So why did you report here at that time? Didn’t you have a good relationship with Lu Yunfei? You should have chosen to report to Qinghua University in the north to go to school with him.”

While boiling the beef, Wen Mingyi replied, “I’m too lazy to get out.”

“With your high score, the head teacher was so happy. After he found out about your intentions, he was so distraught. You were just like Senior Si Junduo, becoming a legend in our school.”

Wen Mingyi smiled when he heard those words. “Is it? That’s good.”

“Isn’t that the case,” the classmate sighed. “The two great male gods of our school. One is senior Si Junduo — the tall, rich and handsome man who was the girls’ dream man in the whole school, and had bagged the first rank in the science university entrance examination. Because of that, we had applied for this university.

Another one is you. Alright, you are also rich and handsome, and also a celebrity. The top in the liberal arts university entrance examination and reporting to our current university. You both are the same; if you were a girl, you could have even made a couple 6 Bubbles: YESSSS GO GIRL with Si Junduo.”

Wen Mingyi almost couldn’t swallow his mouthful of water. To have him and his brother get together, how could you even talk about it!

The female classmate who was eating vegetables heard these words and smiled, saying, “Even if you are not a girl, you can still be a couple.”

Wen Mingyi: …

The girl continued smiling. “Don’t you read the forum? Ever since the news of Wen Mingyi choosing our university came out, some people on the forum put them together. Gentle yet strong Science President gong and beautiful like the sun Liberal Arts Celebrity shou. How fitting.”

Wen Mingyi: ……? ? ? ! ! !

That’s not appropriate at all, okay! !

“You girls nowadays love to do this. Si Junduo has already graduated years ago, and you still want to pull this out.”

“There is no other way. Who allowed the school to be established for only so long, it was only the two of them who dared do something of this sort. It’d be a pity to not pair them. With such a pairing, you see, the reason for them applying for our school becomes very evident. At the time of Si Junduo’s senior college entrance examination, Wen Mingyi was still young. The senior was considering his younger didi, so he chose not to leave the house. But the younger brother was following his brother’s footsteps.

The elder brother was the top scorer, so the younger brother achieved the same. The elder brother registered at this school, so he registered for this too. It’s quite reasonable, isn’t it?”

Wen Mingyi: …

Are all the fucking girls in Lalang 7 Slang: 拉郎. It comes from the folk saying “Lalang”, which means to pull together two people who have no emotional foundation to form a pair. Later, the term was used in various scenes, referring to fans pulling together two unrelated characters to form a CP, which can be a man and a woman, or a man or a woman. Sherlock Holmes now? Correct! It was so accurate! Did you peek at the script! These things, you also know!

“According to what you said, Wen Mingyi should go to the science stream, not the liberal arts,” Zhang Heng retorted.

“Aiya, it’s Lalang’s matching. There’s no need to be too concerned about it. It’s already untrue. These are all written by us. Wen Mingyi and Si Junduo also don’t know each other. How could this be the reason?”

Wen Mingyi: …

Wen Mingyi lowered his head with a guilty conscience. He felt that the girls in their class were too modest. How could this be nonsense? It was clear that a monitoring device had been installed on him and Si Junduo, writing down exactly what it saw! As for why he chose liberal arts instead of science, it was purely because he was rebelling and didn’t want to choose the same discipline as Si Junduo.

Wen Mingyi sipped his drink in silence, very thankful that these people did not know the true relationship between him and his ge. Fortunately, during the time he was rebellious, he didn’t allow Si Junduo to come to school to find him. Except for people like Lu Yunfei and Li Yuanqing who had a particularly good relationship with him, no one else knew that the top honor student Si Junduo not only knew him, but also had a close relationship with him.

They were fortunate, Wen Mingyi quietly let out a sigh of relief.

“I found it,” A classmate suddenly shouted. “Hahahaha, there is actually a fanart. Wen Mingyi, do you know yours and Senior’s CP name?” He raised his phone and let Wen Mingyi look at the forum page.

Wen Mingyi refused. He didn’t want to know the CP name of him and his ge. Not at all!

However, the other students were very curious. A few of them craned their necks and made the sound of eating melon seeds. “Let me see, let me see.”

Wen Mingyi: ! ! ! What’s so good about this! Zhang Heng, what is that posture! Your neck has almost become like a giraffe’s! ! !

“Hahahaha.” Zhang Heng pulled his neck and looked at the page in Qi Qiang’s hand. “Gentle CP. Our classmate Wen Mingyi is not gentle at all.”

Wen Mingyi: …

“It doesn’t matter, as long as Senior is gentle,” The girl said with a smile.

He is not gentle, okay? Wen Mingyi complained. Till his last breath, he was a gentle scum.

Everyone was still eating melon seeds with great interest. Wen Mingyi coldly looked at the gossiping boys and girls in front of him, silently eating the vegetables in the bowl. What’s there to look at? Is the story between him and his ge so interesting! He must also go back to see it then…

Thinking this, he was a little embarrassed.

At about 8pm, Wen Mingyi took a leave from the room first. Before leaving, his classmates asked for his autograph. Qi Qiang even asked for a group photo, saying that he would go home to show off to his sister.

Exiting the restaurant, the cool night breeze hit him. Wen Mingyi flagged a taxi and told the address of Si Junduo’s house. However, just after driving for a while, they were stuck in a traffic jam. Wen Mingyi looked at his watch. It was half past eight.

“What’s the matter?” He murmured. “Why is there a jam?”

“Who knows.” The driver was also very anxious. “Did something happen ahead? It shouldn’t be blocked at this time.”

Wen Mingyi was speechless. He looked at the second hand on the watch turning round and round, his heart getting anxious.

“Let’s change the route,” the driver said. “We can’t always be stuck here.”

“Okay.”

The driver went back to the previous intersection and drove into an alley.

Wen Mingyi looked at the watch in his hand and urged, “Master 8 Shi Fu:师傅 , hurry up.”

“It’s already very fast.” The master comforted him, “We are almost there, don’t worry.”

How could Wen Mingyi not worry. He looked towards the familiar streets outside the window. If he couldn’t make it in time, he could also get off early. In any case, he was not far from Si Junduo’s house. He could change to a cat or a dog and run back. He was just unsure if Si Junduo was back yet. If he wasn’t, he would be unable to get in.

While Wen Mingyi was fretting, the minute hand pointed to the digit 10. 8.50pm. There was no time. Wen Mingyi hurriedly shouted, “Master, please leave me here. I will get off here.”

“Okay.” The driver stopped the car.

Wen Mingyi quickly paid the money and got out of the car. There were a lot of people around. Wen Mingyi walked into the nearest alley, trying to find a place where there was no one so he could transform. He kept walking forward and entered an alley that was deserted. He then calmed himself.

Ok, now I only have to wait for 9pm and transform, Wen Mingyi thought. However, as soon as his thought fell, he heard a miserable sound for help.

The voice was very miserable, shouting, “Help, help, please save me.”

Wen Mingyi was taken aback, and he quickly ran toward the sound. The other party was still shouting, crying painfully. Wen Mingyi faintly heard a male voice say, “How can you still scream like this.”

“Should I anesthetize you?”

“Forget it. Since you’ve been caught already, it’s not worth wasting a dose of anesthesia.”

Wen Mingyi sped up his pace, then he suddenly felt the spreading of the familiar feeling across his body. Fuck! I’m going to transform! Wen Mingyi was irritated. Why did he have to change now! Couldn’t it wait until he saved the person first?

Before he finished complaining, he clearly felt that he was getting closer to the ground.

From afar, the male voice was still talking, “Okay, throw him into the truck and get moving.”

It was close, Wen Mingyi could feel it.

“Let’s go,” his partner said. “I hope I can earn more this time.”

Wen Mingyi saw the shapes of the figures and the truck they were talking about. He roared, and using his limbs, jumped not far from them. “Wang!”

“Oh, there is a dog.” The short fat man who just closed the door of the truck saw a gray and white husky suddenly popping in front of him. Interested, he said, “This is a good dog. Looking at its appearance, it should be worth some money. What a steal, coming up to us itself.”

“Yeah. Luckily that other dog made a fuss for a while, otherwise we would have missed this.”

Wen Mingyi: ? ? ? Dog? ? ? The dog just now?

He had doubts, but he heard footsteps coming from behind him. Wen Mingyi turned his head, and in the next second, he was covered with a dark cover. He struggled, but he was pressed inside. The sack’s opening was closed tightly.

“Wang wang wang wang!” Let me out!

The three men smiled as they watched the sack being pulled to various shapes on the ground. They dragged the sack into the truck, beaming from ear to ear.

“Zhang ge, you will have to get a cage. This is a big dog. It can tear down a house. Our sack may be torn open on the road.”

Wen Mingyi: …This dog dealer is quite quick witted.

“Alright.” Zhang ge smiled and pulled out an iron cage from one of the truck’s compartments. He placed it against the back door and stuffed the sack within it. He stabilized the cage with iron rods.

“Let’s go.” He clapped his hands and closed the door of the truck.

The author has something to say:

Ming Ming: …Shame! What a shame! My Wen Mingyi is dead, nailed in a coffin. I have to keep my mouth shut and guard this matter strictly! If this is known by others, I will be laughed to death!

Ming Ming: …Shhh. Quietly, no one is allowed to say it!

Fei Fei next door ridiculing: Hahahaha, idiot you!

Ming Ming got caught because he realized that what he heard was not a human voice, but a dog’s voice instead. For this moment, congratulations to Ming Ming for discovering his new skill √.

Fei Fei next door envied him: I spent half my life learning English, but he didn’t need to do anything. Just like that, he mastered a new foreign language.

Ming Ming: Hahahaha, idiot you!

Next chapter: Wen Mingyi, the male god of dogs! Towards Ming Ming, there are not only human fans, but also fanatic dog fans!
