Zhou Yan is a very proactive person. Once he decided to find a way to trick that little mongrel over, he was ready to act.
Naturally, he began to pay close attention to the activities of the neighboring household, but he didn't know what was going on these past few days.
He neither saw the lively little mongrel pawing at him from the wall, nor did he see the delicate, cute, and lively boy going out to play.
Zhou Yan was a little confused. Had they gone out of the manor to play?
I haven't been at the manor these past few days, otherwise I wouldn't have seen you.
Even if he hadn't paid much attention before, he knew that the young master in the next room was a lively and active person.
Every few days, he would definitely go out of the manor to have some fun, and the servants following behind him would always bring home bags and packages. The young master would accept anything from the stalls.
Five days have passed, and he hasn't seen the young master next door leave the house even once. This is very unusual.
Could something have happened?
Zhou Yan was getting anxious, unable to suppress his urgency, mainly because he hadn't seen the little mongrel for five days.
I can't help but miss him a little. I want to see that lively little mongrel, especially his big, round eyes, which are exactly like his.
Just thinking about it makes me feel so satisfied. That family is so lucky to have such a smart, lively, and energetic little dog.
Zhou Yan couldn't hold back any longer, and early the next morning, he knocked on the door next door with gifts.
The doorman next door looked at the handsome, aloof scholar with some surprise, wondering why he was knocking on their door when the two families didn't know each other.
Zhou Yan looked at the open gate of the mansion and felt a sense of joy, as if he could see the little mongrel the next second.
"Excuse me, is the young master of this house out for a trip? And is he taking that lively little yellow dog with him?"
The servants at the gate were completely baffled. Wasn't their young master always in the mansion?
As for the little yellow dog, it naturally stayed with the young master.
He looked at the handsome scholar in front of him with some wariness. What's wrong with this guy?
Why did you ask about their young master right away?
Zhou Yan was very sensitive to changes in people's eyes, and realizing that others had misunderstood, he quickly explained.
"No, don't misunderstand. I live in the yard next to yours. I haven't heard that little yellow dog barking for the past few days, and I'm a little worried."
The gatekeeper looked at the somewhat embarrassed scholar with a strange expression. What was there to worry about, given that his master's dog was just a neighbor?
It's not his dog.
However, as a gatekeeper, he didn't make things too difficult for this man who was clearly dressed as a scholar. Judging from his clothes, the man should have some family wealth.
Although his master wasn't afraid, he still had to keep a low profile to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Zhou Yan quickly apologized, looking at the closed door, hoping that the owner of the house would let him in for a visit.
If they haven't gone out, then why has it been eerily quiet these past few days?
It's one thing for the lively young master not to go out and play, but the lively little mongrel can't possibly suppress its nature and stop throwing tantrums.
He hasn't heard a single dog bark these past few days.
Yes, these days, Zhou Yan would often wander around the wall separating the two mansions, hoping to see the familiar furry creatures again when he looked up.
He never knew he could get so close to a little mongrel and fall in love with it.
After all, he's a bit of a germaphobe and dislikes things that shed fur the most.
Not to mention its earthy yellow color, as if its entire body was covered in the yellow of mud that could never be washed off.
Zhou Yan himself found it unbelievable that he would fall for such a plain-looking dog.
But he had also seen other dogs: majestic Tibetan Mastiffs, delicate and cute Pekingese, large dogs with not a single stray hair on their bodies... But in his eyes, none of these dogs could compare to that little mongrel with its two chubby paws gripping the wall and its big, shiny black eyes excitedly watching him.
If Zhou Yan hadn't known that the little mongrel couldn't cast spells, he wouldn't have thought he'd been cursed.
Otherwise, how could someone with OCD like him like a plain-looking dog?
His eyes were fixed on the door, hoping the owner of the house would let him in for a look.
I wonder if that seemingly aloof and distant adult will let him in to see the little mongrel?
Zhou Yan waited anxiously outside, while Duofu, who heard the news inside, felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
She stared intently at Yinzhen, looking pitiful, as if it had nothing to do with him.
It wasn't him who asked the handsome scholar next door to come find him.
Besides, it's not like I'm looking for him.
He just wanted to find that lively, energetic little mongrel.
Duofu was both anxious and somewhat pleased; it seemed he was still quite popular.
Even a handsome scholar like him could be captivated by his furry appearance.
Yinzhen did not miss the fleeting smugness in Duofu's eyes and the little tail wagging back and forth.
It seems the lessons learned these past few days haven't been enough; he should stay in bed for a while longer.
