Chapter 378: Chapter 379: The Husky is Bald
Gaiyin snapped back to reality.
His eyes hesitated for a moment, scanning the room before they locked on the Samoyed that was happily sleeping in front of the fireplace. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
The Samoyed was having a great sleep.
It was even snoring.
The sound was not very loud, and was previously drowned out by the crackling of the burning charcoal in the fireplace, so Su Tang hadn’t noticed.
Upon the discovery, she burst into laughter.
"The Sammy is actually snoring? Haha!"
She never knew a dog could snore, what a sight!
Hua Sheng, feeling Su Tang’s cheerful mood, couldn’t help but laugh along, clapping his hands non-stop.
Just then, a spark popped out from the fireplace with a ’crack’ sound.
Charcoal, made by burning wood under tight seal and high heat, can have pockets of resin and air left in it due to imperfect manufacturing processes. When the charcoal is burned, it makes a crackling noise.
The spark that had popped out landed right on the Samoyed’s head.
A wisp of smoke curled up visibly, followed by the sudden ignition of the fur on the Samoyed’s head.
The fire spread rapidly. In a split second, the fur on the Samoyed’s head was burnt bare.
Thanks to Gaiyin’s quick reflexes, he clapped a piece of wood onto the Samoyed’s head to put out the flames. Otherwise, who knows, the entire dog might have been burnt bald!
The peacefully sleeping Sammy woke up abruptly from the strong force that had struck it.
It turned its head slowly towards Gaiyin who was holding the ’offending item’, feeling wronged.
Then it started barking at Su Tang.
"Howl! Howl!" Host, your man, he hit me? Why would he hit me? What did I do wrong?
Seeing the Sammy with its bald head staring accusingly at herself, Su Tang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
At this time, the Samoyed noticed a different smell in the room.
"Woof woof!" Host, did you make something delicious again? Did you spoil it? I can smell something burnt!
When Su Tang had finished laughing, she cleared her throat.
"Ahem, I suggest you look in the mirror in the restroom."
Although the Samoyed was slightly confused, it happily wagged its tail and dashed into the restroom.
Soon after...
A heart-wrenching whimper echoed from the restroom.
"Howl!?" Host, what happened to my fur, why am I bald?! Howl! I’m not the handsome Samoyed that I used to be!
Hearing this, Su Tang couldn’t help but laugh out loud again.
Although she did feel sorry for the Samoyed, she still found it hilarious.
The Samoyed stood at the restroom door, casting a mournful stare at her.
Its look seemed to say, ’I’m already suffering, and yet you’re still mocking me?’
"Woof!" Warning! Host, if you keep mocking me, I’ll deduct your points!
Mentioning about her ’Life Root’...
...Su Tang immediately stopped laughing.
She looked at the Samoyed, showing a shocked face. "Oh my, darling, you must have misunderstood. How could I possibly laugh at you?"
Then she turned to Gaiyin, in a righteous tone, "Look, this is all your fault! Yes, the Sammy is bald, but you shouldn’t mock it. It’s already pitiful enough being bald, how could you keep mocking it?"
Gaiyin: "..." As long as you’re happy.
Samoyed: "..." Even though I’m not really human, but you’re definitely a dog!
Threading the line between mockery and a penalty deduction.
