Chapter 229: Chapter 9 Always Chasing Her

Gu Xiaoxi and Quan Shaoqing chatted for a bit, and in the end, she decided to take a few days off to go back home.

Today was her first day of reporting for duty; it wouldn’t be right to leave just like that.

Ignoring military regulations, even in the logistics unit, would result in punishment.

"You must come to pick me up in three days," Gu Xiaoxi said earnestly.

Quan Shaoqing smiled lightly, "Alright! Then go! Give it your all, I hope by then you can stay with the Special Forces."

Gu Xiaoxi blinked, snapped her fingers, and assured, "I definitely will. You can go now!"

Quan Shaoqing gently ruffled her short hair and realized that her fringe had just been trimmed. The fringe suited her because no matter how you looked at it, she had a capable look about her that seemed very chic, just like her personality, nakedly revealed, giving people a very refreshing feeling.

"Then I’m off!" Quan Shaoqing got into the driver’s seat and started the car.

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and waved goodbye to him.

Sometimes, time is the best catalyst for feelings, and companionship is what can make people dependent, then reluctant to part.

Gu Xiaoxi stood there, watching Quan Shaoqing’s car drive away into the distance.

She felt that their journey together was still long.

She and he had only walked together for a brief year. There were dozens more years ahead, enough for them to let their feelings settle and then dissect the purest of emotions.

Actually, a woman’s heart is also soft and sensitive.

Even though she was uncertain about how much feeling he had for her, she didn’t dislike this sensation.

It was only after Quan Shaoqing’s car had gone far that Gu Xiaoxi turned to head back.

Just then, she heard some subtle noises from not far off by the fence, along with the heavy panting of a military dog.

Gu Xiaoxi was alert inside, and somewhat curious.

Thus, she quickened her pace and chased after the sounds.

She followed the noise, keeping at a safe distance behind it as much as possible.

It was a long while later, on a small hillside, that she saw the source of the disturbance.

It was a military dog.

Its whole body was inky black, shimmering under the moonlight with a glossy sheen. Its large frame and round figure made it look very fierce.

At this moment, it was targeting a hare, quietly squatting in the undergrowth, ready to pounce and capture it.

Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze suddenly turned surprised, recognizing the dog—it was none other than Xiao Xiao!

While she was lost in her thoughts, Xiao Xiao had already sprung forward, seized the hare in its mouth, and in just a moment, the hare was immobilized.

Xiao Xiao then lay contentedly on the ground and began to eat the meat.

Gu Xiaoxi watched, shocked to the point her jaw almost hit the ground.

Turns out this creature grew so plump not from what the military dog unit fed it, but from catching its own meat to eat.

No wonder it was so fierce, so plump, yet so fast...tsk tsk!

Gu Xiaoxi felt she had gained quite the insight at this moment.

All of Flying Tiger’s fierceness had been given to Xiao Xiao’s fierceness; it had all grown into brawn, and the hefty body was not for show.

Actually, Xiao Xiao would always come out to forage at night.

If it hadn’t followed Gu Xiaoxi today and gotten hungry afterward, the dog food back at the unit wouldn’t have been enough to fill its gaps between its teeth; it wouldn’t have been so diligent to come out.

Who knew that the first time it went out to forage earlier, it would be caught red-handed by Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi watched in amazement and excitement.

Looks like this guy was a good military dog; it was just that no one had been able to tame it.

Gu Xiaoxi crouched in the underbrush, lost in thought.

Just then, Shao Changfeng suddenly appeared behind her. Following Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze, he asked curiously, "Master, what are you looking at?"

Gu Xiaoxi was startled and quickly covered his mouth, then whispered softly, "Don’t speak!"

They saw Xiao Xiao suddenly turn its head to glance in their direction, its eyes full of wariness.

It could smell the distinct scent on Gu Xiaoxi but wasn’t quite sure if she was nearby.

After all, they had chased each other around the forest all afternoon, and Gu Xiaoxi’s scent had long been dispersed throughout the area, making it difficult to discern whether she was there or not.

Plus, Gu Xiaoxi was naturally vigilant and kept her distance, so Xiao Xiao didn’t notice her.

But Shao Changfeng’s arrival was sure to bring a different scent.

Indeed, Xiao Xiao stood up from the ground, licked the fresh blood at the corner of its mouth with its tongue, looking both cruel and wanton.

It stepped forward towards where Gu Xiaoxi and Shao Changfeng were and launched a fierce pounce.

"Damn~! It found you~!" Gu Xiaoxi grabbed Shao Changfeng’s sleeve and turned to run.

Shao Changfeng was still confused because he hadn’t yet seen Xiao Xiao.

"What’s going on?" Shao Changfeng asked, puzzled.

"If you want to live, run! You’ve offended a dog that shouldn’t be offended!" Gu Xiaoxi’s heart was surging with excitement because she had discovered Xiao Xiao’s secret.

Shao Changfeng was perplexed; he had just arrived, how could things be so serious?

However, before they had run far, Xiao Xiao had taken a shortcut and intercepted them.

When it saw Gu Xiaoxi, its fur bristled, and the white mark on its forehead looked like a blazing flame. At the same time, it let out a ferocious howl.

Shao Changfeng stood there, his body stiff, "Isn’t that Xiao Xiao? How did you manage to offend it so it hates you this much?"

A gentle military dog, riled up to this extent by Gu Xiaoxi, he was impressed with her talent for provoking creatures. She didn’t even spare the beasts.

Gu Xiaoxi felt utterly collapsed inside; it was all because Shao Changfeng had carelessly rushed over, otherwise Xiao Xiao wouldn’t have noticed her.

"Let’s split up and run; it will definitely chase after me. You have no grudges with it, better to hurry back to the unit," Gu Xiaoxi said and then turned to flee.

Shao Changfeng stood there, hurriedly calling out to Gu Xiaoxi, "Then be careful!"

Xiao Xiao barely gave Shao Changfeng a glance and went straight after Gu Xiaoxi.

Shao Changfeng stood still, feeling the immediate silence around him, with only the sound of the night wind rustling the leaves.

Only then did he realize how fast Xiao Xiao really was!

It shot past in front of him, leaving only a fleeting shadow.

...!

"Isn’t Gu Xiaoxi in danger then!" Thinking this, Shao Changfeng was so frightened that he immediately started to run, following the traces of Xiao Xiao.

But after he had chased for a few steps, he couldn’t find any trace of Gu Xiaoxi and Xiao Xiao.

How fast! Both had vanished from sight.

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t run aimlessly but climbed directly onto a big banyan tree over ten meters tall after running for a bit.

Xiao Xiao couldn’t climb the tree, so it circled the trunk while whimpering and barking in protest, accusing Gu Xiaoxi of being too shameless.

"Come up here if you can!" Gu Xiaoxi sat on a branch, legs crossed, bathing in the moonlight, thoroughly at ease.

The words were clearly a provocation.

Xiao Xiao was so angry it began to claw at the tree roots!

Gu Xiaoxi watched Xiao Xiao’s plump body and chuckled, "I think calling you Xiao Xiao is too kind. How about I give you a new name?"

Xiao Xiao glared at Gu Xiaoxi, wishing it could devour her as food. And here she was, considering renaming it.

"How about this, you’re so fierce. From now on, I’ll call you Little Wang!" Gu Xiaoxi said, supporting her chin with both hands, her tone gentle, looking down at Xiao Xiao from above.

"Whine, whine, whine!" Xiao Xiao growled, as if protesting her arbitrary decision to rename it.

Gu Xiaoxi talked to herself, thinking the name sounded good, "Anyway, from now on you’re under my care. Calling you Little Wang is to show respect. If you don’t agree, I’ll halve your dog food at every meal. You can hunt, can’t you? Work out your own sustenance. There are plenty of hares, wild fowl, and mice in this forest. Plenty to fill your belly..."

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t really treat Xiao Xiao as a dog, arbitrarily setting some ground rules for it.

Under the tree, Xiao Xiao had no way to deal with Gu Xiaoxi and could only keep whining angrily.

If it could speak, it would definitely tell Gu Xiaoxi, "If you have the guts, get down here, and I’ll bite you to death!"

However, Gu Xiaoxi didn’t come down from the tree and even started practicing her inner strength up there.

Xiao Xiao went from jealous rage to pacified submission; this transition took a full two hours.

When Gu Xiaoxi finished her practice and opened her eyes again, Xiao Xiao was nestled at the bottom of the tree, gnawing on a large bone.

Gu Xiaoxi clicked her tongue, "No wonder you’ve gotten so fat; life’s not too bad, huh!" Seizing opportunities to eat, a true glutton. Compared to the military dogs that only ate dog food, the food it caught itself was a feast!

In this world, good food and drink really came down to fending for oneself.

Gu Xiaoxi felt a pang of sentiment and took the chance to jump down from the tree.

Without a second thought, Xiao Xiao dropped the bone and chased after her.

It had such a big score to settle with Gu Xiaoxi, unforgivable, so it had to chase after her every moment, eager to take a bite out of her as revenge for past grievances!
