Corgi Journey

Over the next few days, Ye Shuang went shopping and dining with Chen Qin, Yuyou, and the others, which more or less brought their relaxing trip to a close.

Aside from the terrifying night at An Shi's house, there weren't many things that left a deep impression on Ye Shuang—

Oh, the cat shrine and that head priest were one of them.

...

After the May holidays, Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke returned to their classes on Monday.

"They'll have to wear their new uniforms lately; the old ones don't fit well anymore." After the two girls went to school, Ye Shuang stood on the balcony, looking at the pleated skirts and tops hanging above. They were all newly bought school uniforms.

Item: Pleated Skirt. Paired with pantyhose, an absolute masterpiece.

Item: Uniform Top. It seems to have been stretched by some mysterious force; the buttons could pop off at any moment.

"Hmm... that one must be Tang Keke's." Ye Shuang looked at the wrinkles on the uniform, slowly withdrew his gaze, then took all the clothes down and folded them separately.

He even took out a needle and thread to reinforce the barrier on Tang Keke's uniform.

"She just said she was going to exercise and lose weight a while ago, but she completely forgot about it," Ye Shuang couldn't help but sigh.

Standing up with the clothes in his arms, Ye Shuang put them back into the girls' respective rooms. Tang Keke's room was technically the guest room, but in reality, she was basically the only one living there now. Not only was the wardrobe filled with her clothes, but the nearby computer desk also had a computer, along with her favorite figurines and badges.

Having a lively house wasn't a bad thing. The two girls had a good relationship, and living together was something Ye Shuang was happy to see. After all, it was the same for him and Chen Qin in the past; when they were young, his wardrobe was often stuffed with Chen Qin's various clothes.

Even some childish bear panties.

"That's about it, time to head out." After simply tidying up the house and watering the plants on the rooftop, Ye Shuang changed his clothes and left the house.

May in Haizhu City was already starting to heat up. Usually around this time, people dressed in short T-shirts and large shorts could often be seen on the streets.

Ye Shuang was no exception.

A simple T-shirt paired with cargo shorts had always been his favorite outfit.

If he wasn't driving, he would usually just wear a pair of slippers when going out.

Arriving at the garage, Ye Shuang was about to drive out when he saw a familiar figure.

"Woof!" A Corgi trotted up to him.

"Morning, Wangcai. It's really been a while." Seeing this short-legged chubby dog, Ye Shuang opened the car door, intending to dig out some snacks from Bai Yuyou's little treasure trove. However, at this moment, the Corgi acted out of character and stretched its head out to rub against Ye Shuang's ankle.

"Woof!"

"Hmm?" This Corgi had always been rather aloof, so Ye Shuang was a bit surprised to see this. "What's wrong with you?"

"Woof!"

The Corgi spun around in place, then pulled some distance away from Ye Shuang, looking back every few steps. Ye Shuang didn't quite understand what it meant, but seeing it gradually walk away, he pulled the car door open and prepared to get in.

"Woof!" Seeing this, the Corgi immediately ran back over on its short little legs.

Looking at the dog anxiously spinning around his feet, Ye Shuang asked, "Do you need my help with something?"

"Or are you hungry?"

Saying that, Ye Shuang offered a sausage, but the dog, acting completely out of character, just sniffed it and continued to stare at him.

"Let's go then." Ye Shuang took a few steps in the direction the Corgi had just gone, and the dog immediately wagged its tail and led the way.

The Corgi's legs were short, but it moved very quickly. It led Ye Shuang all the way out, eventually leaving the residential complex and arriving at a bus stop.

"..." Ye Shuang was now more curious about what the Corgi actually wanted to do. There was nothing at this bus stop; it couldn't possibly be taking the bus, right?

But soon, a bus slowly pulled up to the stop. The Corgi first looked back at Ye Shuang, and then just hopped onto the bus with its short little legs.

Ye Shuang: "Huh?"

Nevertheless, Ye Shuang followed it on board.

Seeing the Corgi, the bus driver just smiled. "You're early, Wangcai."

"Woof." The Corgi seemed to be saying hello, and then it just found a corner and sat down.

Ye Shuang glanced at the Corgi and asked the bus driver, "Hello, do you know this Corgi?"

"..." The driver looked ahead and didn't speak.

"Uh, hello?"

"Passengers, please do not talk to the driver," the bus driver said, reaching out to tap the glass warning sign.

"But you just took the initiative to talk to it..."

"It's a dog."

Ye Shuang was silenced for a few seconds. In the end, he paid the fare and silently found a seat not far from the Corgi. There weren't many passengers on this bus, even though it was rush hour.

"What am I doing?" Ye Shuang couldn't help but think. He was supposed to be going to work, yet here he was, following a dog onto a bus.

"Whatever, it's not like I need to clock in anyway."

As Ye Shuang thought silently, he quietly watched the Corgi panting in the corner. It was looking around, appearing very anxious.

Xiangshan stop has arrived, passengers please...

While Ye Shuang was spacing out, accompanied by the bus's announcement, the Corgi suddenly stood up and skillfully walked to the rear exit door.

As the doors opened, the Corgi jumped out, and Ye Shuang closely followed.

"Are you serious? You didn't just pick a random stop to get off, did you?" Ye Shuang looked left and right. This was at the foot of a mountain. It was actually quite close to where he usually went hiking, but this area hadn't been developed yet. Aside from a running track at the foot of the mountain, there was nothing special here.

"So, where are you planning to go? I even paid your bus fare just now," Ye Shuang asked, looking down at the Corgi while crossing his arms and enjoying the fresh air.

However, the dog just wiggled its butt and walked briskly in a certain direction.

Ye Shuang looked a bit helpless but still followed it.

Eventually, the Corgi even squeezed into a pile of weeds.

Ye Shuang looked at his shorts, stayed silent for a moment, and still followed closely behind.

Even though he felt like he was going to get bitten by bugs, his curiosity was stronger right now. Sometimes, you don't need a goal; you just need your gut feeling to tell you to do something, and you do it. At the very least, you won't let yourself down.

"Am I being a bit stupid?"

After walking for about five or six minutes, Ye Shuang's calves had already been scratched by branches and leaves. Just as Ye Shuang began to doubt whether following the Corgi was the right choice, the Corgi walking in front of him suddenly stopped and barked at him.

"Hmm?"

Ye Shuang walked over quickly, only to discover a bare foot exposed in the bushes, as if someone was lying inside.

Ye Shuang: "..."

He only felt a tingling sensation at the back of his head. Are you finding a corpse for me?

But Ye Shuang still took a deep breath and looked inside, finding that it was a child who looked even younger than Alice. Moreover, judging from the skin tone, it wasn't turning blue or pale.
