Liu Shengrui went out alone and headed towards his usual playground.

He saw a small dog lying by the flower bed. He was also very interested in the dog and immediately went over to it.

"Little dog," Liu Shengrui greeted it.

The little dog wasn't shy at all; when it saw Liu Shengrui, it even barked at him.

Liu Shengrui immediately thought of Xiaomi from before!

If you don't have a kitten, having a puppy to play with seems like a good idea, right?

He immediately looked around and found that there was no one there.

Neither adults nor children had it.

He was alone.

Liu Shengrui continued walking forward, and when he was only half a person's distance away from the puppy, he smiled and stretched out his right foot, then kicked the puppy hard.

"Woof—" The puppy reacted quickly, barking loudly and instinctively trying to run away.

Liu Shengrui was extremely excited after kicking the puppy, as if he had discovered some treasure, and his love for the puppy reached its peak instantly.

It's so much fun! It's so much fun!

How could you let such a cute puppy run away with just a kick?

"Don't run!" Liu Shengrui shouted, then grabbed the puppy.

This dog is really small; it looks like a puppy, which is why Liu Shengrui caught it so easily. If it were a big dog, Liu Shengrui's kick might not have even landed on it.

"You're running away, you're disobeying me."

What happens to disobedient children?

Liu Shengrui remembered how Teacher Mao hit his palm with a ruler, but Teacher Mao was different; she didn't hit him at all, it was like she was just pretending. What kind of punishment was that?

Only he knows what the real punishment is.

“Disobedience will be punished,” Liu Shengrui said.

Then, he picked up the puppy, lifted it high in the air, and let out an excited laugh.

"Hahaha……"

Amidst this absurd laughter, Liu Shengrui released his grip and threw the poor puppy to the ground.

"Woof..." The puppy let out a pitiful cry, instinctively trying to run away again.

This is the second time.

Why did the puppy want to run away?

Liu Shengrui didn't like it, so he immediately followed up with another kick, this time hard, to the puppy.

The repeated acts of violence terrified the puppy, leaving it bewildered and even forgetting how to escape. It could only cower and tremble in place, staring at Liu Shengrui with fear. It inhaled through its nose, memorizing Liu Shengrui's scent.

Dogs are animals with a very sensitive sense of smell and can easily remember certain scents.

The puppy dared not run away again, nor did it dare to bark; it could only look at Liu Shengrui in fear.

Liu Shengrui was very pleased and satisfied with this look and reaction.

"That's a good boy!" Liu Shengrui said happily.

He crouched down and reached out to stroke the puppy. Its soft, warm body made him like it very much—

I want to deliver a really hard punch.

There was no one else here, no adults, no children, no one at all, only himself.

In Liu Shengrui's logic, such an environment and moment is the best time for him to be himself. He doesn't need to pretend, he doesn't need to act, and he doesn't need to be a good kid in the eyes of others.

He is simply himself.

"Bang—" Liu Shengrui punched the puppy's soft body, causing the puppy to whimper in pain.

To Liu Shengrui, such a sound was incredibly beautiful.

Liu Shengrui instantly fell in love with that voice.

And, determined to make the puppy keep making that sound, he rained punches down on the puppy's thin body.

"Bang—"

"Bang—"

"Bang—"

At the height of his excitement, Liu Shengrui would stand up, give the puppy a final kick with all his might, then stare at it, appreciating its fear and helplessness, and enjoying the feeling of complete control and dominance.

So wonderful...

It's so good to be yourself.

Liu Shengrui grew to love and cherish these rare moments more and more. While gently stroking the trembling puppy, he would use unpredictable violence to stimulate the puppy to tremble even more violently, forming a perfect cycle.

"Is it fun?"

Do you like it?

"Ha ha!"

Liu Shengrui was so happy that he was afraid this happiness would end soon, so he continued to tease and play with the puppy even more.

"Liu Shengrui!" Suddenly someone called his name.

Liu Shengrui subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was his usual playmate in the yard, who had also come out to play.

"Big Bull!" Liu Shengrui called out, waving at him.

Someone's here. This isn't the time to be yourself anymore; it's time to start playing the role of Liu Shengrui, the one everyone likes.

He quickly switched to his new role and waved for his friends to come over.

"Look, Da Niu, a dog, a puppy!" Liu Shengrui excitedly shared with his good friend Da Niu, pointing to the trembling puppy at his feet.

"Wow, it really is a puppy!" Da Niu immediately called his mother over, pointed at the puppy, and asked, "Mom, do you know whose puppy this is?"

Mama Da Niu stared at the puppy for a long time. In this compound, it was no secret which family kept which pet. For example, there was Milk at Su Yueya's house, and Little Mimi at Liu Shengrui's house, which had run away before. Everyone knew about each other.

The mother looked at the puppy for a long time but still couldn't figure out whose it was. Besides, the puppy looked like a calf, and the owner couldn't possibly let a calf run around like that.

Unless, of course, it's a stray dog, a dog without a owner.

"It shouldn't belong to anyone; it's probably a stray dog ​​that wandered into our compound by accident," said Da Niu's mother.

"Oh? That's so pitiful, it doesn't even have a home," said Da Niu, squatting down to pet the puppy and talking to it, "Little puppy, you're so pitiful, did you come here by yourself?"

The puppy trembled instinctively when touched, but the big cow seemed not to feel this trembling.

It was terrified, because its experience had taught it that being petted would result in a punch or a kick. It tensed up, waiting for the violence to come.

However, this time it didn't happen.

Da Niu wasn't Liu Shengrui, so of course he wouldn't beat the puppy. He just kept stroking it. At this moment, Liu Shengrui also started acting, squatting down next to Da Niu and gently stroking the puppy with him.

“It’s so cute,” Liu Shengrui said, his eyes shining as he looked at the puppy.

Unfortunately, Da Niu couldn't see the glint in Liu Shengrui's eyes, nor could he understand the hidden meaning in his words and actions.

"Yes, they're so cute! I love puppies so much, but my mom won't let me have one."
