The truck's escort personnel took Song Yan to the rest area.

Song Yan and Bai Shuang stayed listlessly in the designated rest area, behaving themselves obediently.

Song Yan knew she needed to cheer up quickly, as she was afraid that this separation would upset Bai Shuang.

"Bai Shuang! Qiu Hai slipped me a note when we got on the bus. He didn't write anything. Let's take a look." Song Yan stroked Bai Shuang gently.

The note was short and its contents were quite clear. It turned out everyone had prepared something for her, but worried it would be inconvenient for her to carry it home, so they mailed it to her. They told her to check her mail when she got back…

“Bai Shuang, the things they mailed to me are a sign of their care. I care about you too, you know? Actually, everyone has prepared a lot of food for us…” Song Yan had to talk to Bai Shuang; loneliness wouldn't do her any good. He needed to help Bai Shuang forget the sadness of being separated from her trainer as quickly as possible.

There was no food truck on the truck, so Song Yan had to bring his own food.

The staff had their own things to do and didn't come to see her. Song Yan would feed Bai Shuang every now and then to keep her from getting bored.

By the next morning, Bai Shuang was already struggling. She wouldn't eat anything and seemed listless again.

What should we do? Song Yan didn't want Bai Shuang to go back to square one.

Song Yan took Bai Shuang to the restroom and locked the door after they went in. Then Song Yan led Bai Shuang into the spatial dimension. After a moment of confusion, Bai Shuang started running around excitedly.

That little dog is really clever; it went straight for the second spring.

If Song Yan hadn't been able to control her body to fly within the spatial dimension, she wouldn't have been able to catch up with Bai Shuang.

"You're lame, how can you run so fast?" Song Yan grabbed Bai Shuang. "If you run inside to get a drink of water, what am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to drink it?"

Song Yan saw that Bai Shuang was about to jump into the spring.

"Go, sit up there obediently."

The white frost remained still.

"Are you going or not? Come on over and sit down!" Song Yan yelled at it.

Bai Shuang lingered as she walked to the side, glancing back at the spring water, still reluctant to leave.

"Let me tell you, you'd better behave and listen to me, or I'll hit you too." Song Yan placed a basin in front of Bai Shuang. "Sit here and wait. If you dare to disobey, you'll lose everything."

When Bai Shuang saw the basin in front of it, perhaps sensing that Song Yan would give it what it wanted, it lay down and kept whimpering.

Song Yan poured the spring water into a basin, and Bai Shuang drank it greedily.

After letting Bai Shuang eat and drink her fill, she frolicked around in the space for a while longer.

Song Yan took Bai Shuang out.

Before noon, Bai Shuang dragged Song Yan to the restroom. Once inside, Bai Shuang circled around Song Yan. After a while, not getting what she wanted, she yelled at him, her voice filled with confusion and anxiety.

Song Yan didn't want to move, so Bai Shuang came up and rubbed against him.

You bastard!

Song Yan nodded helplessly at Bai Shuang's big dog head!

Song Yan brought Bai Shuang into the space.

This time, Bai Shuang wasn't as fond of the spring water; it mainly ran around in it happily. Bai Shuang then ran to the ginseng field and looked at the ginseng with concern.

Song Yan pulled it out of the ginseng field. "You can't eat this," he said. "If you eat even one, it'll make you sick." Song Yan broke off a ginseng rootlet for it to chew on…

Bai Shuang went to the toilet quite often that day, which attracted the attention of others.

Song Yan could only explain that she went to the toilet several times because she was afraid Bai Shuang would defecate in the car.

The staff on the bus smiled, showing they understood.

Everyone was cautious about the supplies on the truck, especially those belonging to the military. Song Yan was very well-behaved, asking few questions, saying little, and walking around a lot. He didn't even gossip. He just went to the toilet quite often, which was understandable.

In the evening, they finally arrived in J City. Song Yan led Bai Shuang to say goodbye to the staff. The staff all remarked that this military dependent was truly disciplined; she hadn't said a single extra word.

The train station had a larger flow of people than other places, and the security wasn't great. But Song Yan was fine. Bai Shuang's leg looked abnormal, but it looked fierce and intimidating. Pedestrians automatically moved aside.

Evenings in J City aren't particularly lively, but there are still people on the streets.

The bus arrived, and Song Yan boarded with Bai Shuang on his leash. A middle-aged woman on the bus was very unhappy. "Why did you bring such a big dog on the bus? What if it bites someone?"

"Bai Shuang, sit down!" Song Yan called out, and Bai Shuang obediently sat down.

"Ma'am, you see, she can obey my commands." Song Yan knew that large dogs like Bai Shuang could instill a lot of fear in people, so she tried her best to explain.

Perhaps it was Song Yan's exceptionally kind attitude that made her feel she could bully him, and her voice grew even louder. "No matter how nicely he talks, he's still just an animal. Get out of the car right now!"

Calling Bai Shuang a beast displeased Song Yan. "I paid for two tickets." There weren't many people on the bus, so Song Yan tightened his grip on Bai Shuang's rope and sat down.
