Qin Hanyue and the others finished giving Qiao Ying injections and medicine before preparing to go back to the Qin's house.
He was holding a box of sweets he bought in Country C to relieve Qiao Ying's bitterness. As he was leaving, Qiao Ying wanted to take it from him.
But Qin Hanyue put it in his own pocket and said to her: "I'll come over again tomorrow night, let me keep it for now."
Qiao Yi took half a day off from school.
For safety reasons, Qin Hanyue picked him up from school personally.
Through this incident, Qiao Yi guessed that he had not fainted inexplicably at school last time. He also knew that Bai Xiao and Sack were not in the capital to travel as Qiao Ying said.
Afraid that something else might happen, he didn't dare go out of school recklessly now.
After Qin Hanyue picked up Qiao Yi, he first told him about Qiao Ying’s eyes to avoid shocking him later.
Qin Hanyue emphasized that her eyes would recover in a few days.
Qiao Yi's mood was like riding a roller coaster.
After anxiously examining Qiao Ying's condition, he looked towards Sack.
Qiao Yi asked for leave to see Sack’s injury and thank him in person, but when he saw the aloof Sack who didn't like to socialize, the introverted Qiao Yi couldn't speak for a long time.
So Qiao Yi kept talking to Qiao Ying and playing with the dog while glancing at Sack from time to time, looking for a chance to speak.
When he heard Qiao Ying calling the dog Sack, Qiao Yi immediately turned to look at Sack on the sofa.
He still didn't know the dog was also called Sack.
He saw Sack looking very upset.
Qiao Yi thought it was because of his injury.
Then Sack got up and went to the kitchen. Qiao Yi struggled for a moment before plucking up the courage to follow him into the kitchen.
Qiao Ying asked Qin Hanyue to open a can of food for the dog.
This dog was truly precious to Lin Cheng. Aside from them, the plane that sent them back also carried a pile of expensive dog food and various customized cans for the dog.
The dog Sack came to Qiao Ying's house with abundant assets.
"Woof—" However, the dog Sack was not appreciative.
Qin Hanyue realized this dog was hostile towards him.
The dog regarded Lin Cheng as its master and Qiao Ying as its mistress. Naturally, Qin Hanyue was its master’s rival in its eyes.
Sack went into the kitchen and opened the fridge for a Coke.
He drank half a can standing in front of the fridge. When he turned around, he saw Qiao Yi hesitating in the kitchen doorway looking like he wanted to say something.
Sack: "What's the matter?"
Sack took the initiative to speak. Qiao Yi hurriedly seized the opportunity, “How’s your hand?" He looked at Sack’s injured arm.
Sack drank another mouthful of Coke: "It’s fine."
Qiao Yi: "Thank you for saving me."
When he heard Qiao Yi say thanks, Sack became awkward again. His mouth moved, wanting to say "You're welcome" but unable to say it out.
Seeing that Sack ignored him again, Qiao Yi felt embarrassed, "...Can I take a look at your hand?"
Equally awkward Sack directly pulled up his sleeve to reveal his bandaged arm. The scar on his wrist was also still visible.
As a white man, the scar was very conspicuous.
Qiao Yi looked at it in silence for a moment.
Although awkward, Sack's temperament was more straightforward than Qiao Yi’s. He opened the fridge again and took out another can of Coke, handing it to Qiao Yi.
This was to break the awful atmosphere that made people uncomfortable.
Qiao Yi quickly walked over to take the Coke.
Sack walked around him towards the outside. He heard Qiao Yi hesitantly say behind him: "...Is it not good for your injury to drink carbonated beverages?"
Sack: “My sister didn't say I couldn’t.”
He took advantage of Qiao Ying not being able to see.
But Qiao Ying had a keen sense of smell. She smelled the Coke, "Little Sack, don't drink so much. Look how well-behaved Sack is."
Qiao Ying's words confused Qiao Yi a bit, but he still shook the Coke in his hand, "Sis, it's me drinking it."
"Humph," Sack got up and went back to his room.
Seeing this, Qiao Yi felt a little awkward. He realized Qin Hanyue was looking at him. Feeling guilty about lying, Qiao Yi was somewhat uneasy.
However, Qin Hanyue just smiled without saying anything.
After finding out the dog was also called Sack, Qiao Yi thought: so when Sack looked so unhappy earlier, was it because of the name? Not because of his injury?
He immediately felt much better.
Later, Qin Hanyue sent Qiao Yi back to school again.
Having lost contact with Qiao Ying for many days, Huo Chengdong finally got in touch with her again and rushed over after skipping class.
The one who opened the door for him was not human but a dog.
Maybe because his voice was too loud, or his looks didn't conform to canine aesthetics, or maybe his temperament resembled a dog dealer’s.
The dog Sack was very wary of him. Its body was lowered, hind legs clawing the floor, ready to attack at any time.
"Hey, sis has a dog now."
Huo Chengdong still hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation. He reached out to pat the dog Sack’s head.
The result of his nosy behavior was Huo Chengdong getting chased around the neighborhood by the dog for three laps. All the residents in the neighborhood heard his screams, saying that they had never seen such a scene in their life and never heard so many swear words before.
When Qiao Ying came downstairs from upstairs, Huo Chengdong was already gone.
She asked Sack, who had been in the living room the whole time. Sack said, "Didn't see him."
How could he not have seen when she heard Huo Chengdong screaming for her to save him from upstairs? The voice came and went, like a 3D surround sound effect.
However, since Sack was like this, it meant Huo Chengdong didn't really need saving.
Just then the dog Sack came back, carrying a trouser leg in its mouth.
It sent the trouser leg to Qiao Ying, its tail wagging like an electric fan.
Born with a silver spoon, having lived a life of luxury, the dog Sack did not like this new home that was smaller than its old doghouse. The only thing it liked here was Qiao Ying.
So it had been depressed for two or three days.
This was the happiest it had been since coming to the new home.
Unfortunately, Qiao Ying couldn't see. So she didn't take the trouser leg from its mouth.
It bit the trouser leg towards Sack again. Sack took a look. There was no blood on the trouser leg so he ignored it.
For the past few days, at around 7 pm, Qin Hanyue would leave his company and come straight to Qiao Ying's place, for four to five days consecutively.
When he arrived that night, Qiao Ying was upstairs in her room.
So Qin Hanyue went upstairs to look for her.
The bedroom door wasn't closed. Not for Qiao Ying’s convenience to get in and out herself.
But for the dog Sack’s convenience.
Still, Qin Hanyue knocked on the door before entering the room.
There was the sound of water inside the bedroom. Qin Hanyue looked in and saw that the bathroom door was open. Qiao Ying was standing at the sink, bending over to wash her hair.
She was holding a removable showerhead sprayer, wetting her hair.
A big hand took the sprayer from her hand. Qin Hanyue was already standing next to her.
Qiao Ying let go, giving him the sprayer.
He tested the water temperature with his hand and felt it was a little cool. So he turned up the temperature a bit. He put his hand in front of the sprayer so the water would flow from the sprayer onto Qiao Ying’s head along his hand.
Seeing that Qiao Ying didn't say it was hot, he felt assured to help her wash.
It was his first time washing a girl's hair. This intimate act made Qin Hanyue's heart race uncontrollably.
He was more careful and serious than when signing contracts worth billions.
Her soft hair wrapped in warm water flowed through his fingers. Qin Hanyue looked at her fair wet nape and ears, his eyes deepening in color.
