Title: The OOC Villainess and the White Moonlight Heroine are BFFs
Translator: Little Bamboo Spirit
Extra 10 - Marriage? (2)
Shi Yunjian entered the stage of walking the dog for half a month.
Super Smart clearly liked Yue Xia more. She had no interest in getting close to this cold man. Although she was an adult dog, she was extremely sensitive due to her previous owners' negligent care.
On her first night, she howled all night. She damaged the house and tore up the blanket. At first, Yue Xia would see Shi Yunjian cleaning up Super Smart's messes when she went downstairs every morning.
The small dog couldn't control herself. Whenever she saw Shi Yunjian raise his hand, she would cower and reflexively try to squeeze under the sofa. It seemed that she had been beaten many times.
However, Shi Yunjian had only been stretching his hand to get a sewing kit.
"What's wrong?" Yue Xia went up to pick up the dog. "What did she rip up?"
"Your little sofa." Shi Yunjian said with his head lowered. "It's fixed."
"Oh." Yue Xia rubbed Super Smart's trembling ears. "Come on girl, say sorry."
"It's okay." Shi Yunjian hugged Yue Xia's head to his chest and expressionlessly put away the thread. "She's just too scared."
Every day, Super Smart's skin disease needed to be treated with medicine that was applied by using a cotton swab. When Yue Xia was the one applying the medicine, she was very well-behaved and sat still. However, when Shi Yunjian did it, she would always play tricks.
Whenever Shi Yunjian called her name, she pretended to not hear him and run away. She was very smart and quick-witted, so it was impossible that she didn't know he was calling her.
When Yue Xia was upstairs editing her video, she would hear Shi Yunjian calmly calling out from downstairs," Super Smart. Super Smart."
His voice would come closer and further. From time to time, it was accompanied by the muffled thumps of Super Smart parkouring around the house.
Yue Xia would fall back in her chair in laughter.
Every evening, after dinner, Shi Yunjian would take off his apron, clip the leash to the dog's collar, and take her for a walk.
He would change into sportswear beforehand and steadily jog about 2.5 kilometers with the dog before coming home. He would take a quick rinse, wash Super Smart, and then take a shower. Smelling of bath products, he would go upstairs and hug Yue Xia and silently act cutely spoiled.
However, what made Yue Xia have that idea was probably what happened on another evening.
On that day, Super Smart was abnormally lethargic and looked very uncomfortable. She laid on her dog bed without moving. Worried, Yue Xia went downstairs several times to check on her. Fortunately, Super Smart was still eating and drinking normally, but she just didn't want to move.
She planned on taking the dog to the hospital in the evening. When she went downstairs again, it was dusk. Shi Yunjian had come home without her noticing. In a rare moment, the dog was obediently lying on his lap. He was tying something to it.
Yue Xia saw the sparse droplets of blood on the floor and the dog bed. She opened her eyes wide. "Is she injured?"
No way right? She hadn't bumped into other dogs when they went out, and she hadn't been scratched by anything…
"She's not injured." It looked like Shi Yunjian had temporarily found a clean piece of cloth and was wrapping the dog's behind with it like a diaper. He was as calm as ever when he said, "Her period came."
Yue Xia paused. "Period?" Dogs also had periods?
"Mhm." Shi Yunjian's sleeves were stained with blood. "Twice a year, half a month each time. I recently looked it up. I won't take her out for the time being. I'll go buy period pants for her. Just make do with this cloth for now. I'll wash it when I get back."
The original owners weren't thoughtful about owning a pet and naturally didn't spay Super Smart. Super Smart ate well and slept well during the past several days, and her period actually came.
Super Smart weakly whimpered and licked Shi Yunjian's hand.
The light from the setting sun hit the side of his cold, handsome face. Shi Yunjian was focused on tying the last tie to secure the cloth to Super Smart. After he was done, he patted her back, stood up, washed his hands, changed his clothes, and was about to go out to buy her doggy period pants. Before he left, he stood in the doorway and suddenly changed his mind, "... You should wash her."
Yue Xia held the whimpering Super Smart and looked up in confusion. "Huh? What?"
Shi Yunjian expresionlessly said, "... I think it's not good for me to wash her."
Yue Xia: "Her butt?"
Shi Yunjian solemnly said, "Mhm."
Yue Xia: "?" Was he determined to protect the dog's privacy rights…?
She always thought Shi Yunjian was very cute, but he somehow got cuter with every passing day.
Shi Yunjian saw that she was holding back her laughter. With a cold face, he pecked her lips.
"I'm going."
"Come back soon."
"I'll be back in half an hour."

Yue Xia finished recounting that memory, "It's strange. When I saw him seriously putting on period pants for the dog, I suddenly thought it would be nice to form a family with him."
Wang Shiya sighed. "Not bad, huh…"
Jiang Shuyao smiled. "I can understand."
Yue Xia lazily said, "Right?"
Jiang Shuyao teased her, "What about me?"
"I have to go far back for that," Yue Xia seriously answered, "When you first came to my house, I would see you watering flowers in a white dress every day. And, I would also suddenly have the thought that it would be nice if we were family members."
Jiang Shuyao: "That early?"
"Of course," Yue Xia said, "it was that early."
Perhaps, it was because she placed friends in an indispensable and permanent position in her life from the very beginning. Yue Xia had a blind confidence in herself and her friends that unless something unexpected happened, they would never leave each other.
"But, getting engaged is probably a big hassle."
Wang Shiya finally grasped the key point. Supporting her chin in her hand, she said, "Although you don't want to do anything grand for it, once the news gets out, everyone will be asking you all sorts of questions. The venue, the guest lists, the date, the process. Even if you don't want to socialize, you'll be forced to. Just thinking about it is overwhelming."
Jiang Shuyao also furrowed her brow. "Yeah…"
Yue Xia: "So."
Jiang Shuyao: "So?"
Yue Xia: "We have to find a place where only the important people will come."
Wang Shiya: "The Central Hotel? Grand Ballroom? There must be at least 30 guests…"
Yue Xia: "No, to be precise, it'll only be a place that you, Luo Ze, Shuyao, my parents, my brother, Shi Yunjian, and I will go."
Jiang Shuyao: "Only eight? Where are we going?"
Yue Xia finally solemnly said, "It will be… the Southern Hemisphere!"
The air was silent for a moment.
Jiang Shuyao: "Ah?"
Wang Shiya: "Huh?!"
No way… was Yue Xia serious?!
