Chapter 667 - 204: [As If It Never Happened] (6900)_2
If an ordinary person cuts their finger, at most they’ll wipe on some ointment and stick on a band-aid. However, for Lu Sisi, it easily turns into a wound infection or something like that.
Therefore, Lu Sisi’s life before she turned eighteen was very simple, with many enjoyable things in life omitted as much as possible to avoid danger.
It’s all about living a minimalist lifestyle.
"I accidentally ate it a few days ago and liked it a lot," Lu Sisi said with a smile, "I saw it being sold while shopping today, so I bought a pack."
When Chen Yan returned, Lu Sisi was in a really good mood. Hand in hand, fingers interlocked, they walked home, with Lu Sisi talking to Chen Yan about various trivial matters from the past few days like a little girl.
"I met a friend who lives in our neighborhood; they even gave me some candied chestnuts last time," Lu Sisi said with a smile, "We met one morning while walking in the neighborhood."
She glanced at Chen Yan and proactively said with a smile, "It’s a girl, a very cute girl."
"Hmm?"
"She also has two big dogs, very friendly, a golden retriever and a Samoyed. Both are silly, you can pet them easily, they’re not aggressive or bite, they even roll on the ground and shake hands with people."
Well, since it’s a girl, there’s nothing to worry about.
Chen Yan wasn’t actually an overly possessive person, but with Lu Sisi’s looks, if it was some young guy from the neighborhood walking his dog and giving her candied chestnuts... well, that would definitely be with ulterior motives.
"So, are you thinking of getting a dog?" Chen Yan asked his girlfriend. If she liked dogs, it didn’t matter to have one. Their home was big enough, with a large yard for the dog to play freely.
Lu Sisi thought seriously about it and shook her head saying, "Forget it."
"Hmm? You don’t like them?"
"I do like them, dogs are very cute and obedient. But as for someone else’s dog, it’s fine to pet and play with. Actually owning one wouldn’t be easy, you’d have to feed it, walk it, clean up after it, it’s a lot of hassle.
We can’t only see the glamour without acknowledging the work. Both of us aren’t particularly good at taking care of others. You often have to go out, and when you’re home, I want to spend time with you without having other responsibilities taking up our time."
Lu Sisi was very serious as she spoke.
"Uh..." Chen Yan chuckled, "There’s something I haven’t told you yet."
"Hmm?"
"This time when I came back, I brought a pet."

"Awooo~"
Big White sprawled on the sofa, barking at Lu Sisi standing in front of it.
Hmm, it had a cutely fierce vibe.
This made it hard for Chen Yan to associate this little guy with the fierce and ruthless creature on the snowfield that could bite a Hunting Beast’s neck in one go, tearing open throats with its sharp claws and teeth!
Lu Sisi was just over the moon!
The girl stared at the small, huddled Big White, paused for two seconds, then let out an excited shriek.
"So cute～～～～～～"
Watching Lu Sisi, Chen Yan felt like her shriek was followed by a string of exclamation marks.
Lu Sisi’s eyes looked almost like they were sparkling as she squatted down in front of Big White and reached out her hands to try to pick it up.
Big White seemed to struggle a bit but was caught and hugged tightly by the girl, her excited expression barely letting go.
Big White squirmed in Lu Sisi’s arms, its gaze darting around. Its eyes were full of resistance, even pleading to Chen Yan for help.
Finally, Big White whined, struggled out of Lu Sisi’s embrace, and swiftly jumped aside, landing on the back of the sofa in a couple of bounds, huddling high up, retreating step by step.
"Is it... a bit shy?" Lu Sisi was a bit disappointed, "Did I scare it?"
Chen Yan was also a bit surprised.
Big White... shy?
Don’t be ridiculous!
It could slap a Hunting Beast to death with one paw! Bite a Fierce Beast Race with a single chomp!
At the Snow Cliff Pass Brotherhood base, so many of the members had gotten close to it, it only ever showed indifference, never this kind of resistance— the proprietress Ruyi once held it, petting it casually and it never fled like this.
"Come here～～" Lu Sisi crouched in front of Big White and opened her arms gently, "I won’t hurt you～ come, let me hold you～～"
The next second, Big White seemed reluctant but nevertheless twisted its body and surprisingly obediently jumped down from the sofa, slowly walking towards Lu Sisi and then bowing down.
Lu Sisi was taken aback, not expecting it to be so obedient. After a bit of initial surprise, she happily picked up Big White, petting and squeezing it.
Chen Yan felt a bit dazed.
He wondered if it was just an illusion, but why did Big White’s eyes seem to carry a hint of resignation and... a look of embracing fate?
Chen Yan didn’t think much of it, just assuming that even animals like Big White would want to get close to and be friendly with a pretty girl like Lu Sisi.
But after Lu Sisi had been holding Big White for a while, just as she loosened her grip, Big White, slightly dazed, immediately jumped to the ground, scampering away swiftly, dashing to the corner of the living room, and quickly vanishing into some room.
Chen Yan noticed that before Big White ran off, it seemed to glance at him, with a gaze that seemed to carry a touch of grievance.
