"Oh my, can't we cherish animals here?" Ah Gui teased, "When Fu Wan was here just now, why didn't you guys torment her like this? Picking on someone you know well, huh?"
"Realize just how pitiful a single dog can be?" Qiao Zhiyi retorted. "If you don't want to be teased, then hurry up and find a partner."
Ah Gui shook his head with a smile, "Being alone is quite nice."
"Nice? With this kind of weather, isn't it colder sleeping alone at night? Also, coming home to a house where no one leaves a light on for you, having no one to talk to, doesn't that feel lonely?"
Qiao Zhiyi stared at him, it was a soul-searching inquisition.
Ah Gui looked down at the dish in his bowl, "I'm used to it, it's alright."
Qiao Zhiyi pursed her lips, unsure whether to bring up Ye Xi or not.
She still wanted to fight for Ye Xi's chance, though.
Ye Xi never truly understood her own feelings towards Ah Gui, or rather, Ye Xi at that time didn't even know what she wanted—everything was so uncertain.
