"Do you even know what you're saying!?"
Ailiya was furious when she saw Su Cheng spouting nonsense. She pointed a finger at him and scolded, "Who are you trying to fool? Nobody would believe that!!"
If he had put in a little effort into his made-up story, she wouldn't have gotten so angry.
A dog quoting "Lament for Qu Yuan"?
What kind of joke is that!
It's just too much!
This is practically rubbing their intelligence into the ground!
Ailiya: [Intelligence 4.8]
Due to the severe insult to her brain at this moment, her intelligence increased by one point.
Just as she turned to look at Cornelia beside her, her expression froze, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Because she saw Cornelia, who was nodding thoughtfully, her mouth slightly open, muttering to herself, "I see. It's because it took my delivery before. So this is a form of repayment, huh?"
"Hey! Why would you believe such ridiculous nonsense? This doesn't make any sense at all! He's just playing with us!"
Ailiya looked at Cornelia in complete disbelief, then grabbed her by the shoulders and started shaking her, trying to wake her up, while angrily shouting at Su Cheng, "What kind of spell did you cast on Cornelia?!"
Su Cheng, hearing this, just innocently spread his hands, looking like he had no idea what Ailiya was talking about.
"Ah, Ailiya, stop shaking me, I'm going to get dizzy."
Cornelia covered her forehead with one hand and said, "Su Cheng really can understand what dogs say. And this dog is really smart!!"
Ailiya froze upon hearing this, then started shaking Cornelia even more violently: "Even if it's smart, it can't possibly be quoting classical literature while barking! It's a dog!! Can't you be a little more rational?"
"Su Cheng, hurry up and prove it to her!"
Cornelia turned to Su Cheng with a pleading look in her eyes, full of hope.
Because if the dog could just do a backflip, then Ailiya would never laugh at her again, and it would also prove that Su Cheng wasn't lying.
Su Cheng, softened by Cornelia's gaze, tentatively asked, "Are you sure?"
Cornelia nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! Hurry up and show her!"
Ailiya, seeing the two of them like this, was so angry she wanted to bite Su Cheng.
But since Su Cheng was about to make the dog perform, she had to suppress her anger and said to Su Cheng, "Go ahead, let's see how you manage to get a dog to cooperate with you!"
Once reality hits, she could then scold Su Cheng properly, and maybe even Cornelia would see through Su Cheng's true nature and be disappointed in him!
"Since we're performing, let's go big this time."
Su Cheng nodded and continued, "But you need to promise me. Don't tell anyone. And this will be the last performance!"
"Stop dawdling and get on with it!"
Ailiya impatiently urged.
Su Cheng's hesitation made it obvious that he didn't know what to do next, which secretly delighted her.
Meanwhile, Cornelia was eagerly watching Su Cheng, very excited about what the dog might do.
"Alright, no matter how shocking it is, don't be surprised, and don't tell anyone."
Su Cheng spoke very seriously, as if he was about to make the dog perform something extraordinary.
"Got it, hurry up."
Seeing Su Cheng so serious, Cornelia became even more excited.
"Yeah, stop dragging it out. Let's see how shocking it can be!"
Ailiya, seeing Su Cheng start to stall, was so anxious she almost turned into a dog and bit him.
"Alright, I'm starting."
Su Cheng chuckled, made an 'ok' gesture with his right hand, then took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket.
"Of course, it's not a good thing. Carrying cigarettes around!"
Seeing this, Ailiya snorted coldly, looking at Su Cheng with a mocking expression, eager to see what tricks he had up his sleeve.
Cornelia, on the other hand, was blushing, her fists clenched tightly, her eyes glued to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng put a cigarette in the dog's mouth, lit it with his other hand, then slowly said, "Give me face."
The dog took a deep drag, exhaling a few wisps of smoke from its nose, then slowly raised its head and nodded.
Ailiya was a bit dumbfounded at this scene.
Why is it so skilled?!
But Cornelia was already used to it and eagerly awaited Su Cheng's command.
"Quickly, silently write down the 'Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng'."
After saying that, Su Cheng threw a colored pen and turned around, indicating that the dog could start performing.
"Quickly, silently write the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng..."
Even Cornelia was shocked, her eyes wide with disbelief.
"Su Cheng, are you out of your mind? Asking a dog to silently write the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng, and saying 'quickly'? This is too absurd! You're practically a joke. I can't even write it, and you're asking a dog to..."
Ailiya was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh, but her laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by horror.
Because she saw the most unbelievable scene of her life, one that kept replaying in her mind, unable to fade away.
The big yellow dog suddenly picked up the colored pen with its mouth, slowly walked to the corner, stood up, propped its front paws against the wall, and started writing on the wall with its mouth.
Her mind was now filled with only one thought.
"Is this fake?"
"How... how is this possible!!!"
Ailiya was in a trance, staring at the dog's crooked handwriting, her face getting paler and paler. She rubbed her eyes, trying to figure out if she was hallucinating or if this was really happening.
Cornelia was also standing there in shock, unable to move. Then she excitedly pointed at the poem on the wall, looking at Su Cheng, her voice trembling, "Su Cheng, you... you really... made this dog... do it?"
This scene was too terrifying.
Both of them couldn't believe their eyes.
"It's fake. It must be fake."
She shook her head, desperately denying it, unwilling to accept that Su Cheng really made a dog silently write the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng.
"What's so strange about it?"
Su Cheng looked at Ailiya, puzzled.
"No... it's impossible. How could a dog do that?"
Ailiya looked at Su Cheng as if she had seen a ghost.
Su Cheng pointed at the wall expressionlessly, saying, "Open your eyes and look. The truth is right in front of you!"
