She thought it was because she hadn't been there long and they weren't familiar with each other yet, and that Xiao Xianbei was afraid of her. She believed that as long as they spent enough time together, Xiao Xianbei would accept her as its little master.

But for the next six months, Little Rice still barked fiercely whenever it saw her.

But in other respects, it is very dutiful; it even wags its tail to greet neighbors who pass by.

She alone never received that treatment.

People's patience and enthusiasm are limited. After more than half a year of getting along, she still couldn't get Xiaoxianbei to accept her as its owner.

It couldn't remember her kindness, couldn't remember who risked being scolded to bring it home in the pouring rain, and didn't know that she had spent all her New Year's money to save it.

It knows who feeds it.

After all, whenever she was home, except when she was at school, she was the one who fed it.

When her parents thought it was too fat and didn't want it to eat too much dog food, she would secretly give it other things to eat, making it plump and fat, and its bald skin even grew smooth brown fur.

She took great care of it, treating it like her own little pet, but she just couldn't get it to be tame.

At that moment, she had the idea of ​​giving it away, but she suppressed it as soon as the thought arose.

She was the one who decided to keep it, so how could she let it become a stray again?

Plus, her parents liked it too, and it could also guard the door.

Since Xiaoxianbei came to live there, no one has ever stolen anything in their area. It's no exaggeration to say that she is the guardian of their neighborhood.

But...

He wouldn't get close to her, he wouldn't even let her touch him.

After suppressing the thought of giving it away, she kept reassuring herself that it was okay, it was just not close to her. She would only be able to see it on Saturdays and Sundays when she went to junior high school and lived at school.

This comforting thought made me feel better, but I still felt a little disappointed.

That was her first time owning a pet, and the first time she had taken such good care of one, but she didn't receive anything in return.

The aunt next door also had a puppy. The next day, the puppy was very affectionate towards them, not only letting them pet it but also responding to their commands.

But her little fairy is a silly dog, it doesn't listen to commands and it won't let her pet it.

After that, she went to junior high school, and her parents bought her a cell phone, saying it would make it easier to stay in touch.

Because the junior high school was far from home, and traveling back and forth every day would be a waste of time, she boarded at school.

She was not used to living in the dormitory at first, but after getting to know her roommates and becoming friends with them, she felt it was okay.

At that time, she was outgoing and cheerful, and it only took her a few days to become close friends with the other students in the class.

She gradually forgot that her little fairy at home didn't like her, and even when she came home on weekends and saw her little fairy barking at her, she wasn't so sad anymore.

Because we've become accustomed to it.

It would be strange if Little Fairy allowed her to come near and didn't bark at her.

She usually only goes home on weekends, and it's probably because Xiao Xianbei has never liked her; her feelings for Xiao Xianbei seem to be fading.

Later, even when she went home on weekends, she wouldn't look at it or feed it dog food; her parents took care of it entirely.

She seems to be gradually abandoning it.

As if sensing her abandonment, the little clam barked at her less often and less fiercely than before.

But she no longer cared. In her eyes at that time, Xiao Xianbei hated her and didn't like her.

Later, she moved up from the first year of junior high to the second year, and she still chose to live at school.

Because her roommates were all very nice, she continued to live with them in the second year of junior high school, so she didn't need to waste time adjusting to them and had more time to study.

But in her first week of junior high school, she received a phone call from her parents.

Her parents said anxiously on the phone that Xiao Xianbei suddenly went crazy and kept rushing outside. It was on a leash, but it was still acting like it didn't care about its life. It pulled its neck until it bled and the skin was torn off, but it still wouldn't give up. It was barking wildly at them like a madman.

She was surprised at the time because, apart from the first few days after bringing her home, the little fairy had never barked at her parents, only at her.

Her parents said they thought the dog would be kept in place by a leash, but Xiao Xianbei broke the leash and ran away, and they don't know where she went.

She was only slightly surprised when she heard the news, but not very sad, because Little Rice Cracker didn't like it anyway.

It ran away, maybe...

It's because she doesn't like that home.

Maybe it was a mistake from the start; she shouldn't have brought it home.

It stayed at their house, probably initially to recover from its injuries, but later it kept thinking about how to escape.

Seeing that the time was ripe, it fled.

Perhaps that's true.

That day she comforted her parents until very late.

The next day, she went to class with dark circles under her eyes, looking listless and unable to concentrate, and was called out by the teacher several times.

However, because her grades had always been good, consistently ranking among the top in her grade since the beginning of junior high, the teacher only said a few words to her in class, asking her to focus her attention, and did not punish her.

But that day her eyelids kept twitching and her heart was pounding. She didn't think of anything else, only that it was because she stayed up late.

But on that day, something happened.

The study materials she wanted were only available in the library outside the school, so she went there after school.

She accidentally bumped into her roommate, with whom she was usually close, smoking in an alley with a group of thugs.

The school has a clear rule that students are not allowed to smoke, and if anyone is caught smoking, the incident will be reported to the entire school and the parents will be notified.

She was very surprised. She never expected that someone who usually seemed so quiet and reserved would hang out with thugs and even smoke.

The way she smokes is the same as how her neighbor smokes, and her neighbor is a long-time smoker.

So she guessed that she must have been smoking for quite some time.

However, she had no intention of exposing her. After all, it was better to avoid trouble. Her only goal was to study and study hard.

But her roommates and the thugs around her weren't going to let her go. When they saw her turn to leave, they blocked her way.

Her roommate, who usually joked and laughed with her, seemed like a different person at that moment. She revealed her past to the group of thugs, saying that she was beautiful and came from a wealthy family. She said that if they kidnapped her, they could get money from her parents so that they could have money to do drugs.

It was then that she learned that, in addition to smoking, the group of them also used that stuff, including her roommate.

Those thugs actually believed her roommate's words and planned to kidnap her and ask her parents for some money.

Her roommate seemed to have fallen into a quagmire and wanted to drag others down with her, so she asked those thugs for the drug, wanting her to take it too. Some even held up their phones to take pictures.

She wouldn't interfere with how or what others wanted to do, but she also didn't want to get involved with that stuff.

Once she got involved, she knew her life would be ruined.
