He Miao looked up and met Jing Yan’s bright eyes.
“What are you doing here?” Confused, He Miao asked him, “Didn’t this man hate me in the past and want me to get as far away from him as possible?” Why did he have to stick his warm face to her cold butt so many times today?
Jing Yan gritted his teeth in anger, but he still held back his anger and forced a smile. “You haven’t got a group, have you? Do you want to be in the same group as me? I guess you don’t know how to do this assignment at all, right?”
He had predicted that He Miao’s grades would be poor. Besides, she had always been the one chasing after him. Now that he had taken the initiative to look for her, she would definitely agree without a second thought!
Jing Yan sneered sarcastically. If it were not for that stupid dog, he would never have said a word to her!
“I don’t want to.”

Mu Xiao leaned over as if he had discovered a new world. “Did you trade places or something?”
“You shut up!” Jing Yan had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only glare at Mu Xiao, who was watching the show. He heaved a long sigh, suppressed his temper, and coldly said, “Then you’ll fail your subject at the end of the term. You don’t know what’s good for you.”
“Wait,” He Miao stopped him and looked at him warily. “What are you trying to do?”
Jing Yan’s face stiffened and his smile turned ugly. “What else can I be up to?” It’s not like I’m interested in you, but your dog is quite cute. When you’re doing your assignment, you can bring it over, and I promise you that I’ll help you pass your assignment.”
He Miao frowned, still hesitating.
Although the offer for passing the assignment was very attractive, she was still unwilling to sacrifice Onion.
“Brother Yan, you really like that dog!” Mu Xiao let out a strange cry, then turned to He Miao and tried to mediate, “I’ll watch the dog for you then, I won’t do anything to it. You can just take it home after you’re done . Do you think Brother Yan will snatch your dog away?”
Jing Yan furrowed his brows. In fact, he wanted to snatch the dog from Mu Xiao, but Mu Xiao’s words should be able to dispel He Miao’s concerns, which would be a great help to him.
As expected, He Miao’s furrowed brows finally relaxed when she heard him say that. “Alright then.”
Jing Yan heaved a long sigh of relief when she finally relented. He looked away and did not want to look at her again. He did not even bother to put on a fake smile. “Then come to my house this weekend.”
He could not wait to leave the classroom. Then, he thought of something and gave He Miao a warning look. “Remember to bring the dog. Otherwise, you’ll get a zero.”
That weekend, He Miao brought onions to Jing Yan’s house.
When Grandpa Jing heard that she was coming, he immediately invited her in enthusiastically. He took her hand and nagged, “Why didn’t you tell me that you were coming? I’ll have my people prepare some of your favorite foods.”
He pointed at the freshly washed cherries on the table. “Have some fruit. Don’t you like to eat this?”
“Thank you, Grandpa.” He Miao was carrying Onion, who was afraid of strangers. She smiled in embarrassment. “Grandpa, Onion hasn’t been here before. Please don’t take offense.”
“What’s there to argue about with a dog?” Grandpa Jing patted the dog’s head kindly.”Just bring it here to play more often.”
“You’re here.” Hearing the commotion, Jing Yan came out of his room. His eyes lit up when he saw Onion, and Mu Xiao followed him out of the room.

“I know, Grandpa.” Jing Yan agreed readily. As long as the woman agreed to leave the dog behind, he would not make things difficult for her.
“Come on up.” Jing Yan glanced at He Miao, then turned around and went back to his room.
He Miao rose to her feet and looked at Grandpa Jing.
Grandpa Jing waved his hand. “Go do your work. Don’t mind me.”
He Miao nodded apologetically, then followed Jing Yan and Mu Xiao into the room.
As soon as he entered, Jing Yan closed the door tightly like a thief, which made Mu Xiao shiver in fear, thinking that Jing Yan was going to do something illegal.
“Dog.” Jing Yan pointed at Onion, who was curled up in He Miao’s arms. “Let me hug you.”
“?”Mu Xiao looked at him in disbelief. “You ... you really like this dog that much?”
What was so good about this ugly dog? Just like its owner, it was ugly and ...
Mu Xiao smacked his lips, following the dog’s gaze to He Miao’s, he suddenly froze.
What the h*ll, why did he feel that He Miao looked so pretty today?
