Chapter 1307 - 1321: Dominance
Even though every time she speaks words of disdain now, only she knows in her heart that this man holds a position in her heart that no other man ever will.
She doesn’t know what the future holds for them; she dares not think about it, nor does she want to. As long as he acknowledges her and treats her as a friend, she’s willing to maintain this relationship with him for a lifetime.
Sometimes Xiao Xiao herself feels contempt for these thoughts, but there’s nothing she can do. Whenever she sees this man, she feels all her perseverance is worthwhile. Without him, her life would likely never be as bright.
However, today she suddenly felt something had changed.
Just like now, as Xiao Xiao sits on a garden chair pondering the major events of her life, a tennis ball rolls over.
Then comes a bark, and an old shepherd dog lazily walks over. It reaches Xiao Xiao’s feet but doesn’t pick up the tennis ball, instead placing its mouth beside the ball and lying straight down at Xiao Xiao’s feet.
Lin Junyang comes running over, crouches down, and reaches out to rub the long hair of the shepherd dog, "Feihu, do you know you’re almost a paper tiger now?"
Feihu is a retired military dog that has been with the Lin Family for several years after retiring. Lin Junyang said it’s already 11 years old, an age that’s indeed elderly in a dog’s lifespan.
Feihu’s mouth doesn’t move, but its eyes glance sideways, giving Lin Junyang a contemptuous look as if to say: You foolish human, I don’t want to humor you by playing ball anymore.
Lin Junyang finally pats Feihu’s forehead, not intending to make it move anymore. Standing up, he notices Xiao Xiao is sitting there dazed, using his hand that just petted the dog to rub Xiao Xiao’s head, lastly letting his fingers fall on her delicate earlobe, gently stroking it, an indescribable warm intimacy, "What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Xiao shivers at his touch, looks up to meet his ever-so-gentle eyes, and shivers again. To be honest, even though she hopes Lin Junyang would be more gentle towards her, facing him like this feels somewhat unfamiliar.
She wonders if this is what they call masochistic tendency?
"Lin Junyang, can you act normal? You’re giving me chills doing this." Xiao Xiao shrinks back, keeping her distance from him.
Lin Junyang’s face darkens, he plops down beside her somewhat irritably and says, "Then tell me, what should I be like to be normal for you? Yelling at you like I did the other day?"
He feels this woman is really problematic; he finally wants to be nice to her, yet she first starts to dislike it.
"You..." Xiao Xiao is rendered speechless by him, her eyes slightly raised, she suddenly leans forward, "Compared to your kind that gives me goosebumps, I prefer taking the lead."
She feels she can’t adapt to this kind side of Lin Junyang because of his attitude; rather than being flirted with, she prefers to be the one doing the flirting.
Lin Junyang crosses his arms, watching the little woman in front of him with great interest. Why didn’t he notice before that this woman is quite amusing?
"How would you take the lead? Steal a kiss from me?"
Upon his words, Xiao Xiao’s face instantly turns red, she jumps up as if something is chasing her from behind, and runs towards the front yard.
Feihu also gets up, and the person and the dog run in perfect harmony.
Lin Junyang stands up and touches his face again, snorting softly, "Fool."
