Chapter 82: Teasing You Bored
The White Dumpling ran over and squatted to the side, watching Lin Xia trim the Teddy dog’s fur.
“Aowu?” Papa, does An’an need a haircut too? The White Dumpling shook his fur and asked innocently.
“Your fur isn’t long; no need to cut it.” Lin Xia answered without looking up. The White Dumpling’s fur wasn’t long, and even if it grew, it didn’t need cutting. Cutting it would look strange; the Big White Tiger had long fur and didn’t cut it either.
“Aowu!” Okay! The White Dumpling responded sweetly, then sat quietly to the side watching Lin Xia work.
On the other side, Li Shujun took a phone call, and the smile on her face suddenly froze. She didn’t forget to say a word to her best friends before rushing outside to take the call.
The moment she went out, the ladies who had been flattering her just now instantly changed their faces. The speed of the change was jaw-dropping, and their words were filled with acidity and meanness.
“Wow, she thinks she’s so amazing just because she has a new diamond ring. Look how smug she is!”
“Exactly. Saying it’s for some fifteenth wedding anniversary, given by her husband. Doesn’t her husband have someone on the side? How does he have the mood to prepare these things!”
“Whoa? Her husband has someone on the side? And she still pretends to be happy?!”
…
Lin Xia, having finished trimming the Teddy, wanted to come over and check on the ladies. Hearing this, he awkwardly turned back around. This plastic sisterhood… just thinking about it was terrifying.
The ladies came to the pet shop often, so Lin Xia had learned some general information from their conversations. Li Shujun was the wealthiest among them. Her husband seemed to be the chairman of some company and was more than ten years older than her. Before meeting her husband, Li Shujun was just a beautiful luxury store clerk. She climbed up to a tycoon more than a decade her senior, leaped into the aristocracy, and lived a life people envied.
Many people said Li Shujun married a man older than her and not particularly good-looking just for his money. Rumor had it she even dumped a boyfriend of several years who had an average background for this.
Li Shujun, whom others thought was vain, snobbish, and showy, walked back in hurriedly with a pale face. She said a few words to her friends, then paid and took the Teddy dog away, leaving the ladies looking at each other in dismay.
Lin Xia watched the back of Li Shujun rushing away in high heels and fell into deep thought. But this had nothing to do with him. Shaking his head to throw away the chaotic thoughts, Lin Xia threw himself wholeheartedly into work.
Once Li Shujun left, the remaining ladies didn’t have the mood to chat anymore. Once the pets were styled, they paid and left as well.
“Aowu!” Seeing Lin Xia finish, the White Dumpling walked toward him, nuzzling him affectionately.
“Why are you so clingy today?” Lin Xia picked him up and smoothed his fur.
“Aowu…” An’an wants to play with Papa… The White Dumpling wouldn’t say he wanted to play with his skateboard. The skateboard had been confiscated by Lin Xia; he wanted to play but didn’t dare say it directly.
Who was Lin Xia? He was the White Dumpling’s closest person; he knew whatever the White Dumpling was thinking. Besides, the White Dumpling’s eyes kept glancing toward a certain spot.
“You want to play with the skateboard, right?”
“Aowu?!!” Papa, how did you know?! The White Dumpling bounced up in surprise, staring at Lin Xia with big, round eyes.
“Because your eyes have been looking over there.” Lin Xia looked toward a specific spot—exactly where Lin Xia had locked up the confiscated skateboard right in front of the White Dumpling.
“Aowu!” Papa is so amazing! The White Dumpling grinned shyly, rubbing against Lin Xia to curry favor. Lin Xia didn’t move; he knew what the White Dumpling was going to say next. Sure enough, the next sentence was…
“Aowu?” Papa, then can An’an play with the skateboard? Afraid Lin Xia wouldn’t let him play, the White Dumpling solemnly guaranteed: “Aowu!” An’an will skate by himself, I won’t turn on the electric motor!
“You can, but let’s play when we get home, okay? Let Babi keep you company.” Lin Xia didn’t know how to skateboard and didn’t know how to teach the White Dumpling.
“Aowu!” Okay, thank you, Papa! The White Dumpling’s tail wagged very fast, spinning whoosh-whoosh like a small fan, even stirring up a breeze.
“Stop!” Lin Xia made the overly excited White Dumpling stop. Although he knew the White Dumpling’s tail wouldn’t break from wagging, he still worried it might.
“Aowu!” Papa, you are so good! The White Dumpling felt his Papa was truly the best. An’an was so happy to have such a Papa!
“Such a sweet mouth.” Lin Xia smiled and clamped the White Dumpling’s muzzle shut with his hand so the White Dumpling could only make wu wu sounds.
Lin Xia was just joking with the White Dumpling. After a few seconds, Lin Xia let go. As soon as he let go, the White Dumpling ran far away, looking at Lin Xia from a distance.
“Aowu!” Papa is so bad! The White Dumpling pouted and stuck out his tongue.
“Didn’t you just say I was good?” Lin Xia asked. The White Dumpling was instantly confused. That’s right. I just said Papa was so good. But not long after, Papa turned bad…
Seeing the White Dumpling’s blank look, Lin Xia laughed until he leaned back and forth, to the point that Wang Ziyu, who was passing by, thought he was having a seizure.
“Aowu!” An’an wants jing jing (peace and quiet)! The White Dumpling flicked his tail, planning to go to the balcony to be quiet (“jing jing”) while sunbathing.
“Mn, who is Jingjing?” Lin Xia asked knowingly.
“Aowu?!!” It was the first time someone asked him who “Jingjing” was, and this person was his Papa! The White Dumpling was even more shocked. His big eyes widened into perfect circles as he looked at Lin Xia in disbelief.
Papa, are you joking with An’an?!
The White Dumpling seriously suspected Lin Xia’s IQ had dropped offline. He hurriedly ran to send a voice message to Tang Yinlang, telling him about Lin Xia’s abnormal behavior just now.
Tang Yinlang happened to have his phone in his hand. Hearing the notification sound, he immediately opened it and saw the White Dumpling’s message. After listening to the whole story, Tang Yinlang couldn’t help but laugh.
Silly cub, Lin Xia is teasing you!
“Papa is teasing you,” Tang Yinlang replied via voice message to the White Dumpling.
“Aowu!” So Papa was teasing An’an! The White Dumpling immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It’s good that Papa hasn’t turned stupid! Wait, no! Papa is teasing me?!
The White Dumpling realized belatedly and puffed up his fur. He swung his tail and marched over to “confront” Lin Xia.
“Aowu!” Papa, were you teasing An’an just now! The White Dumpling pressed his paw on Lin Xia’s shoe, wanting him to stop, trying to get his attention.
Lin Xia had seen the aggressive White Dumpling coming from a mile away. Holding back laughter, he squatted down, patted the White Dumpling’s head, and spoke gently.
“What do you think?”
“Aowu…” Probably yes, An’an doesn’t know… Lin Xia’s expression was very calm, showing no guilt at all. This made the White Dumpling cowardly, and his momentum was cut in half.
“I was indeed teasing you. I’m sorry.” Looking at the White Dumpling’s confused and innocent eyes, Lin Xia couldn’t bear to tease him anymore.
“Aowu?” Why does Papa want to tease An’an? The White Dumpling didn’t understand. Papa was so nice, why did he like to tease An’an?
“Because Baby is cute. So cute that Papa wants to tease you.” Lin Xia loved seeing the White Dumpling’s dumbfounded expression. That little look was cute beyond measure, making people want to give him a kiss.
“Aowu!” Okay then, it doesn’t matter! Turns out An’an is just too cute! The White Dumpling left happily and contentedly, running to the second-floor balcony to sunbathe. And also…
To want jing jing!
