AMRWFA -Chapter 103 Human-Shaped Dog and Real Dog

When Xie Xiuming arrived at the Xu household, he claimed he was following Ruan Yaoyao—but in reality, she didn’t care about him at all. She was the same as always: sleeping in when she wanted, going out when she wanted, completely forgetting that there was a dog in the house.

As a human, Xie Xiuming felt too embarrassed to “throw a tantrum.” Most of the time, he stayed silent, or else retreated to his room to work on his “dog computer.”

The computer kept refreshing profiles of human Xie Xiuming and Li Tingting. He went over them again and again, but regrettably, he still couldn’t recover the memories of his human self. Sometimes he even began to wonder: maybe they got it wrong… maybe I really am a dog?

“Mr. Xie, I’m home!”

Hearing that cheerful voice, Xie Xiuming knew that the “human-shaped husky” had returned.

Sure enough, the next second there was a knock on the door, followed by a cheerful “I’m coming in!”

Xu Chengyan opened the door and walked in, smiling as he held something in his hands—a gift he had brought for him, supposedly the favorite treat of a dog.

Xie Xiuming: “……”

At that moment, he wanted to dig a hole and bury this guy in it.

Didn’t he realize the most embarrassing thing about his situation? He fully knew he was a human soul, yet his body was a dog’s. He couldn’t eat human food, and his body’s instincts drove him to obsessively “love” dog food.

Just imagine—a person with a strong sense of pride, realizing they’ve become a dog, and then having to eat dog food… that feeling is… incredibly humiliating!

He had already been avoiding eating in front of others, but Xu Chengyan didn’t even notice. Not only did he see nothing wrong with it, he delighted in stopping by a pet store on the way home from work to buy things that only a pet dog would like.

All kinds of dog food, all kinds of dog snacks, all kinds of dog toys.

Like now: Xu Chengyan pulled out a dog bone as thick as his arm. By the time Xie Xiuming realized it, he was already wagging his tail and hugging the bone on the floor, gnawing at it frantically.

Nearby, Xu Chengyan happily snapped photos, grinning from ear to ear—anyone who didn’t know might think he was mocking him.

In reality, Xie Xiuming knew that Xu Chengyan was just genuinely happy that he liked the gift.

Xie Xiuming: I’m screwed!

But the indignities didn’t end there. Even more humiliating, Xu Chengyan took out a leash to walk him.

When Li Tingting walked him, Xie Xiuming hadn’t minded. But with Xu Chengyan…

Ahhhh…

Can you imagine a man who’s 1.8 meters tall being led outside by another man of roughly the same height to run on the grass and play frisbee?

There’s no way to refuse!

Absolutely no way!

The instincts of a dog told Xie Xiuming: Come on, let’s have fun! This game is so much fun!

Shamefully, if he played too much, Xie Xiuming would forget who he was and, like a dog, pounce on Xu Chengyan, licking his face…

Desperate!

Xie Xiuming was in despair.

That idiot Xu Chengyan… does he even remember that I’m a “human”?

Ahhhh…

When will I return to my human body?!

It was terrifying!

At this rate, he would really become a dog!

The human-shaped dog, Xu Chengyan, was having the time of his life. He had never thought owning a “dog” could be so fun: it obeyed commands without training and happily played alongside him.

Hahaha…

He even wanted to get a real dog!

He was already imagining whether, once Xie Xiuming returned to his human body, he could keep this dog.

He really loved this golden retriever!

At sunset, Ruan Yaoyao looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the joyful scene of a man and a dog playing. A strange thought crossed her mind: 【Something feels off…】

Accompanying her daughter Xu Lingxuan, Yu Xiangqiao was puzzled: “What’s off?”

【Ah, I knew something felt off!】

【Xie Xiuming is such a serious person, yet he’s playing such childish games with Xu Chengyan? Has he forgotten he’s human, or…】

【Has he taken a liking to the second son?】

Yu Xiangqiao was horrified: Mom, do you even realize what you’re thinking?!

Taken aback, she turned to the window and saw a huge golden retriever pounce on Xu Chengyan, lying on top of him, licking his face. Its tail wagged like a little motor.

Yu Xiangqiao panicked: Second brother! Don’t you remember Yun Jinxian is your fiancée?!

Later that night, when she shared this “topic” with Xu Lianghan, he was shocked too.

“What are you saying? Second brother’s orientation is normal—he likes women.”

“Second brother’s fine, but what about Mr. Xie?”

“Well…” Xu Lianghan didn’t know.

Xie Xiuming had been brought back by Ru Anzhi and Mom. Before that, they had only heard of him by name; they had no idea about his life or deeds. They existed in completely different circles.

“If he likes the second brother and seduces him… what will happen to Yun Jinxian?” It wasn’t that Yu Xiangqiao had a problem with same-sex love—it was that the second son already had someone. If suddenly another “partner” appeared, it would be chaotic.

“But isn’t his relationship with Yun Jinxian fake?”

Yu Xiangqiao glared at him in exasperation: “So what if it’s fake? Fake can become real, can’t it? Don’t forget, Yun Jinxian genuinely likes the second brother. Otherwise, she wouldn’t cooperate in pretending to be his fiancée. Now the second brother has recovered, and she hasn’t mentioned moving away. It’s obvious she’s trying to get close and win him over first. The second brother is spending all his time with Mr. Xie—don’t you see it’s the same thing?”

“What should we do? We can’t just kick Mr. Xie out.”

“I know, that’s why I’m worried. Maybe you should talk to the second brother? Give him some guidance?”

“How?”

“Keep him at a distance from Mr. Xie. Spend more time with Yun Jinxian. I’ll also talk to Yun Jinxian to watch out for Mr. Xie. Just because he’s a dog doesn’t mean she can let her guard down and let him dig into her territory.”

Xu Lianghan: “…Alright.”

He generally agreed that he wanted Xu Chengyan and Yun Jinxian to be together and hoped Xu Chengyan could have a normal marriage.

Of course, when he talked to Xu Chengyan, he had to be careful not to be too direct. Otherwise, with Xu Chengyan’s mind, he might reveal himself in front of Xie Xiuming.

Things were fine before, but now it was so awkward.

Xie Xiuming twitched his doggy lips: “……”

Have you forgotten that a dog’s ears are just as sharp as its nose?

Sure enough, while Xu Lianghan was talking to Xu Chengyan, Xie Xiuming overheard everything. Even funnier, Xu Lianghan rambled, Xu Chengyan didn’t understand, but Xie Xiuming got it perfectly.

When Xie Xiuming realized Xu Lianghan suspected his sexual orientation, he completely lost it.

Ahhhh…

What did Xu Chengyan do?!

Why would anyone think he’s interested in Xu Chengyan?

Am I a dog?!

Sometimes he really thought the second son was such a “joker” and so interesting—he just wanted to watch his misadventures.
