Pastoral Daily Life

When Dahei came back, it was already midnight.

While Lu Lingxi waited for Dahei anxiously, he was hugged by Yan Yue and fell asleep in a daze. Because of something on his mind, Lu LIngxi hadnt been able to sleep soundly. When there was a movement outside, he woke up with a start. Yan Yue woke up a little earlier than him and was already getting dressed.

“Xiao Xi, go to sleep, Ill go check.” Yan Yue pressed to keep Lu Lingxi from getting up. It was a bit cold outside; it seemed to be windy and Yan Yue was worried that Lu Lingxi might catch a cold.

Lu Lingxi couldnt sleep but thinking that Yan Yue would bring Dahei in after a while, he agreed and lay on the bed waiting for Dahei. The strange thing was that there was no sound after Yan Yue went out, and Dahei couldnt be heard, so Lu LIngxi couldnt lie down any longer, hurriedly dressed and went out. For a moment he was a bit stunned.

Dahei was back, but it wasnt just Dahei who had returned.

There were more than twenty dogs squatting in the courtyard, large and small, with Dahei squatting at the front, holding a little puppy that seemed to have been born a few months ago curled up and sleeping soundly. Yan Yue stood opposite them and looked at Dahei, and Lu Lingxi could almost see the blue veins on Yan Yues forehead pulsing.

Hearing the movement behind him, Yan Yue tried his best to ease his expression, turned to look at Lu Lingxi and said, “Its cold outside, why is Xiao Xi up?”

His expression was helpless. Although Lu LIngxi tried his best to suppress it, the twitching of the corners of his mouth still could be seen. Lu Lingxi knew that he shouldnt laugh at this time, but he really couldnt help it. It was the first time he had seen Yan Yue with such a headache, and his eyes curved as he smiled. “Big Brother Yan.”

The young mans tone was cheerful, and this call of “Big Brother Yan” carried a hint of being coquettish. Yan Yue had no choice but to indulge him, “Does Xiao Xi want them all to stay?”

Lu Lingxi nodded and couldnt help but smile again.

Seeing Lu Lingxi nod, Dahei put down the little puppy in his mouth and turned around and barked a few times in a rather serious manner. The group of dogs in the courtyard seemed to understand what Dahei meant and responded. However, it seemed that they deliberately lowered their voices for fear of waking up the surrounding neighbours, so it sounded like a group of dogs was collectively acting coquettish.

Lu Lingxi looked at this scene with some curiosity. Dahei had always been a loner. Even when he was at Brother Dongs pet shop, he didnt communicate with other puppies at all. This was the first time Dahei was with other dogs. And could they really understand what each other was saying?… Lu Lingxis mind started wandering. Yan Yue looked at the dogs in the courtyard with a strange expression in his eyes, and unexpectedly thought of the question Lu Lingxi asked him last time. Plants could evolve, could animals evolve too? Yan Yue felt that this question was a bit of a fantasy at the time, but looking at the scene in front of him, he began to feel uncertain.

Dahei deterred the dogs in the yard, turned to Lu Lingxi and barked in a low voice a few times, as if explaining something.

Lu Lingxi felt that he understood somewhat what Dahei was saying. He was explaining where these dogs came from. Some of these dogs were stray dogs nearby, some were dogs that couldnt go home temporarily because there was no dog hole, and there was also the little puppy that couldnt be driven away from Daheis side. When Dahei was talking about the little puppy, Lu Lingxi even felt that he could hear a trace of helplessness in Daheis vice.

While Dahei was explaining, the little puppy on the ground seemed to have woken up. Its eyes were not fully open and its pink nose sniffed before it squinted and whimpered, moving over to Daheis side and going back to sleep under Daheis belly.

Lu Lingxi was about to laugh to death. Dahei was a male dog, and the illusion of being treated like a mother dog made Lu Lingxi hold his stomach and almost burst into tears.
