Hehe... Xixi, Xixi, isn't this Yan Xiaogou?

He Sui snatched the dog from He Xiaoguo's arms, stroked its fur, and said, "Little dog Yan, bark twice so Little dog Yan can hear it!"

Xi Xi, who had been well-behaved in He Xiaoguo's arms, suddenly started wriggling wildly in He Sui's arms, struggled off, and ran to the front door.

The gate was closed, and it lay on the doormat by the entrance, looking lonely and withdrawn.

When He Sui went to touch it again, it rolled over and spread its belly to show its surrender, and barked and growled after feeling a strong threat.

It disliked He Sui very much.

He Yuan said, "This dog is most likely a stray that was abandoned by its owner, which is why it is so obedient. But it is not used to its new home. Fourth brother, don't go near it anymore and give it some breathing space."

He Sui was taken aback, then turned to He Zhou and scolded, "Where did you get this dog? Why didn't you buy He Jing a better one?"

He Zhou didn't even glance at him: "He Jing likes this one."

He Jing smiled and said, "Yes, let's keep it for a few days to let it get used to us. We'll take it to get vaccinated and dewormed in a while. Xiao Guo, try not to spend too much time with the dog these few days."

He Xiaoguo looked at Xixi longingly and nodded.

He Jing plans to change Xi Xi's name. What will Yan Hanxi think if he finds out?

At this moment, Mother He brought a pot of pork rib soup to the table and called out, "Jingjing."

He Jing responded with a conditioned reflex of "Eh".

Upon smelling the aroma, He Sui immediately lost interest in teasing the dog and rushed over, wanting to take a spoonful of soup to taste it. However, his mother hit his hand with the tip of her chopsticks.

Mother He said unhappily, "This soup is for your sister. Let her try it first."

He Sui's eyes widened. Usually, she wouldn't mind if he tried it first, so why wouldn't she let him today?

Mother He ladled out a bowl of soup and placed it in front of He Jing, saying, "Jingjing, try it and see if it's good? I made the soup with an old hen."

He Jing was flattered and took a sip, praising her mother's cooking skills.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she inexplicably felt that Mother He seemed closer to her than before...

He Jing subconsciously looked at He Yuan, whose expression remained calm and composed: "Mom worked hard to make this, drink more."

Under her mother's watchful eye, He Jing had no choice but to drink a large bowl of water. When she felt really nauseous, she said, "Mom, I can't drink anymore."

Mother He quickly took the bowl from her: "Then I won't drink it."

While He's mother wasn't looking, He Xiaoguo scooped up some soup and added two pieces of bone, then gave it to the puppy.

Xi Xi stretched her neck and sniffed, then quietly lay back down, her eyes fixed on He Xiaoguo, looking pitiful.

He Xiaoguo scooped up a spoonful of soup and put it in her mouth, saying in a soft, sweet voice, "Don't worry, little cutie, there's no poison in it."

Xi Xi hesitated for a few minutes before taking the bone out of the bowl and putting it in front of her paws to eat.

He Chen noticed the commotion in the entryway but ignored it. He simply looked at He Jing and her mother, stood next to He Yuan, and asked with a smile, "Did you take Mom to see Xiao Yi, big brother?"

He Yuan frowned: "How did you know?"

He Chen laughed: "I guessed."

He Yuan: "Mm."

He Jing chatted with her mother for a while and became increasingly suspicious that her mother had secretly met with Cheng Yi and felt guilty towards her, so she did so much for her as soon as she got home. However, she didn't mind and didn't need her mother to feel guilty. So she intentionally or unintentionally comforted her mother: "Mom, I'm fine. You need to take better care of yourself and your own feelings."

Mother He could tell right away; her nose tingled, and she almost burst into tears.

P.S.: Six chapters tomorrow. I went out to play today and couldn't update. See you tomorrow, goodnight.
