AMRWFA -Chapter 109 Bullseye

Xiao Ai was dumbfounded, unable to respond for a long while.

“But… but…”

Xie Xiuming waited, but nothing came.

After a while, it finally asked, “But what?”

“But…” Xiao Ai said, “if they weren’t bad people, why would they want me to leave my master’s side?”

Xie Xiuming: “Who is your master?”

“Of course, the most beautiful and kind little fairy in the world…” Xiao Ai’s voice brightened instantly, as if mentioning something especially happy.

Xie Xiuming: “Her name isn’t Li Tingting, is it?”

“How do you know? Did they tell you?”

Xie Xiuming: “My previous master was Li Tingting.”

“What a coincidence!”

Xie Xiuming: “Even more coincidentally, like you, I had no memory of being human. I thought I was a dog that had somehow gained intelligence, and even believed I was Li Tingting’s boyfriend…”

Xiao Ai’s voice trembled in horror: “You… actually wanted to be your master’s boy… boyfr—? You’re a dog, and your master is human… how could you even think that?”

He didn’t dare.

He was afraid his master would get angry if she knew.

“It wasn’t that I dared to think it. My master gave me a name that caused a huge misunderstanding. She called me ‘boyfriend.’ When I ignored her, she even dialed 119 to call for help, saying her boyfriend was going to commit suicide…” Xie Xiuming recounted using a montage-like description. “You know, I was stunned, and even the firefighters who kicked down the door were stunned…”

Imagine this: a group of firefighters, rushing to save someone they thought was about to commit suicide, only to kick open the door and find… a dog. How would that feel?

Xiao Ai almost fell off its perch in shock.

“You… are lying to me, right? That’s impossible!”

Xie Xiuming: “My personal experience. You can talk, right? I can give you a number. You can call as Li Tingting’s psychiatrist and ask. Many people saw it happen.”

It didn’t dare call.

Xiao Ai: “…”

It didn’t really want proof. Knowing too much seemed dangerous.

Xie Xiuming: “You’re afraid? Afraid that what I’m saying is true and it would ruin your relationship with the little fairy?”

That last question hit the bullseye: “You like her?”

“No no no… I’m a bird. How could I like a human…” Xiao Ai denied fiercely, but its talons shifted back and forth on the perch, betraying the opposite.

Xie Xiuming: “Before I knew I was human, I liked her too.”

“You mean after you realized you were human, you didn’t like her anymore? Why?” Xiao Ai looked confused. “Is liking someone something you can just take back? You like, you don’t like… just like that?”

“But she deceived me. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have turned from a human into a dog, nor lost my human memories. If she really liked me, she could have pursued me openly. Why must she turn me into a dog, erase my human memories, and make me appear like a newborn before her? Wasn’t that just to make me develop a fledgling attachment to her?” Xie Xiuming said. “Love manufactured through manipulation—how could that be true love? If it were true love, what did I mean to her? Less than two months after I left her, she picked you up…”

Xiao Ai fell silent.

If it had other arguments, they would’ve been countered. Indeed, Li Tingting had already moved on to another target in less than two months—that was fast.

Xie Xiuming had only been “retrieved” by his previous master, not truly leaving her.

If she wanted, she could have found him anytime.

“How did she know you were Xie Xiuming?”

Xie Xiuming: “Before I became a bird, she encountered me. I was busy in a meeting, so I barely noticed. But she misunderstood, thinking I was cold toward her. Later, I turned into a dog…”

Could it be that it had encountered her before too, but was too indifferent, so she used this method? Xiao Ai’s mind spun in knots.

It felt uneasy.

All that talk about love and heart-throbs… how did it turn into “calculations”?

Especially when Xie Xiuming asked: “Can you hear Madam Xu’s thoughts? If you can, then you should understand why she focused on you.”

Xiao Ai: “…”

That was scary. In that old woman’s eyes, it was practically doomed.

Yet it was still alive.

But if that were true, it wasn’t alive because of kindness… it was because it had “use” value.

Fortunately, Xiao Ai didn’t ask, or Xie Xiuming would have answered: “What else did you think it was? True love?”

“She seems to have a lot of true loves, and her pond is quite full.”

…

Ruan Yaoyao patted Xie Xiuming’s head. 【Well done.】

She knew that if Xie Xiuming was involved, there was nothing he couldn’t handle.

【After all, he was a domineering CEO, right? A CEO without skill isn’t a CEO.】

Xie Xiuming rolled his eyes, feeling Ruan Yaoyao was “scolding” him. Even as a CEO, he was still a dog.

And almost someone else’s dog too!

【Ah, don’t be angry. I didn’t turn you into a dog. Look, the second victim has appeared. You’ll probably turn back into a human soon.】

【Hehe! Once you are human again, the fun I can watch will be gone!】

【Then enjoy it while I can.】

So “enjoy it” meant… pet more? Initially tolerating a bit, upon hearing her nag, Xie Xiuming suddenly lost patience. When she reached out again, he stood up and turned to leave.

【Hey, why are you leaving? I haven’t had enough…】 Ruan Yaoyao’s hand hovered in the air, unable to reach, regret filling her heart.

【Such a nice feeling… why stop me?】

【Let me touch a bit more!】

Ruan Yaoyao’s fingers moved, reluctant to let go.

【I’m only touching your head! My second even hugs you sometimes, and I never said anything.】

【Let me touch it a few more times~】

Such a grown woman, still acting cute! Could she save some face? Xie Xiuming was annoyed, baring teeth, issuing a low growl.

【Angry? Why are you angry? I didn’t say anything. Didn’t I say you’d turn back soon? Why are you upset?】

Ruan Yaoyao cautiously observed Xie Xiuming: “You didn’t really like my second, did you? That wouldn’t be okay. You’re a dog now, he’s human. You don’t match…”

Nonsense! When did he ever like Xu Chengyan, that husky? Xie Xiuming lowered his head, growling louder, saying: “If you say another word, I’ll bite you.”

Though a little fragile, Ruan Yaoyao saw not just a dog, but a human soul crouching low, growling at her. That image…

【Probably no one else but me can see Xie Xiuming crouching and growling like this, right?】

【Why does it feel so… perverted?】

Xie Xiuming froze.

He forgot this woman could see his soul state…

【Honestly, it looks pretty good!】

【I wonder if, when he becomes human again, he could crouch like this still wearing that suit…】

The thought made Ruan Yaoyao shiver.

【Ahhh… is that even a human-imaginable scene?!】

【If Xie Xiuming knew, he’d definitely want to kill me!】

Xie Xiuming: I could bite you to death right now!

The dog instincts took over. Before he could control himself, his body lunged forward…
