Could he really have an anal fissure?
They hadn't beaten Li Yong's ass yesterday.
Scrolling down through the comments, he saw that plenty of people had noticed the difference.
[His ass looks so perky like this. Could he really be a bottom?]
[Actually, there's another possibility: he said yesterday that he wanted to eat dog meat, then got thrashed by dog lovers.]
[He might have been beaten as family punishment, too.]
All in all, Li Yong had definitely been beaten.
Yan Junye thought back to his own situation.
What had happened to him didn't count as a beating, only an outlet for pent-up feelings.
He heard the door open. It was probably the assistant bringing his lunch upstairs.
Yan Junye hadn't walked on his own since last night. The moment he got down onto the floor, he felt an ache where the upper parts of his hind legs joined his body.
Walking hurt even more.
It was all Chang Yu's fault for being so heavy-handed!
This time, the assistant had checked with Chang Yu that the food he was supposed to prepare for Xiaotu was indeed human food.
As for what to eat, Chang Yu had told him to choose something himself, buy it, and bring it upstairs.
He had packed a portion of rice and three dishes.
He had originally put the food beside the dog bowls from before, but then he saw Xiaotu sit on a chair at the dining table, his eyes clearly saying:
"Who do you think you're looking down on? Bring it over. I'm a dog who eats at the table."
The assistant was speechless. Had Xiaotu become a spirit?
He could only carry the food to the table, even playing along by saying, "Please enjoy your meal."
Yan Junye showed him no courtesy, pushing the dishes away from in front of him.
He could no longer suppress his mischievous urges. It was all because his ass hurt too much for him to sit on the chair.
He typed "river snail rice noodles" on his phone, indicating that he wanted that fragrant, stinky delicacy.
The assistant was dumbfounded at the sight of Xiaotu holding a phone.
Had Mr. Chang sent his dog to school for further education?
Yan Junye would have him know that he had attended school for fourteen years. During the last four in particular, he had thoroughly mastered phones.
Helpless, the assistant ordered river snail rice noodles for delivery. As for the rice and dishes, he would have to eat them himself.
The delivery arrived quickly. When Chang Yu had been home earlier, he hadn't dared say that he wanted river snail rice noodles.
Otherwise, Chang Yu would definitely have thrown his noodles out, on the grounds that they stank too much and made the whole house smell.
Without needing anyone to feed him, he lowered his head and enjoyed the food he had been longing for.
After eating, he lowered his head himself and rubbed his mouth against some toilet paper.
Without Chang Yu around, he was a fully independent dog. With Chang Yu around, he was a big dog who even needed someone to wipe his mouth.
The assistant carried the rubbish downstairs to throw it out, while Yan Junye stood up and opened the windows to air the place out.
Chang Yu wouldn't be back until evening. By then, the smell should have mostly dissipated.
The assistant soon came back upstairs, and Yan Junye heard him talking on the phone. "Mr. Chang, are you going to the Li Family's home this afternoon?"
To Li Yong's home?
As the culprit, Chang Yu wanted to go along with Chang Yu.
At least if he went, he could pounce on anyone with ill intentions and bite them at a critical moment. Otherwise, what would he do if Chang Yu died because of him?
He pawed at the assistant's trouser leg, raising one paw to point at the phone he had just been using.
Sure enough, he hadn't interacted much with the assistant, and there wasn't the slightest telepathic connection between them.
The assistant was still asking him, "Do you want a cuddle?"
Yan Junye was speechless. What cuddle? Who wants you to cuddle me?!
I'm talking about your phone!
He could only get in touch with Chang Yu by having the assistant call him. He reached for the assistant's phone, only to miss.
The assistant raised the hand holding his phone. "I've got lots of things on my phone. I can't let you play with it."
Who wants to play with your phone?!
Can't you see I have a phone of my own?
Yan Junye had no choice but to type "Call Chang Yu" on his phone.
The screen was too small, and his paws weren't as nimble as human fingers. He had to try over and over before he managed to type those six characters.
He decided to pester Chang Yu into buying him a computer.
The more the assistant watched, the more he felt that Xiaotu could be on TV. He had never seen a dog that could type. He would definitely go viral.
"No, you can't. Mr. Chang is very busy. It's best not to call him unless there's something important."
You forced me into this.
Yan Junye knew that if he caused trouble, it would definitely be reported to Chang Yu.
Although he had previously thought of using some unsavory methods to disgust Chang Yu, he couldn't actually leave anything like that in the house.
First, he planted his dog paws on the sofa. The assistant's expression didn't change at all, as though he took it for granted that he was allowed on the sofa.
Fuming, Yan Junye jumped off the sofa.
He still remembered what the cheapest thing in the house was.
A dog paw reached onto the dining table with ill intent. After a couple of swipes, a glass fell to the floor and shattered.
Hearing the noise, the assistant looked at the culprit. There wasn't a trace of fear or guilt in the culprit's eyes. Instead, he held his head high in triumph.
No matter how he looked at it, it seemed deliberate.
The assistant didn't know how much the glass cost, either. He had better report it to Mr. Chang right away.
Seeing the assistant pick up his phone, Yan Junye moved closer and cleared his throat. He was getting ready to howl in a moment.
"Mr. Chang-"
"Awooo, awooo-!"
The assistant felt as though his ears were about to be deafened. Xiaotu's voice completely drowned out his own.
Chang Yu understood what Xiaotu was saying.
[I want to go to the Li Family's home, too!]
But he couldn't openly act as though he understood. With the barking going on nonstop, he could only answer Xiaotu first:
"What's wrong? Was lunch not to your liking?"
"Awooo, awooo~"
[River snail rice noodles. Very much to my liking~]
Chang Yu was speechless. He could already imagine the smell that would greet him when he got home.
Yan Junye kept barking away, as though going even a moment without being a pest to Chang Yu made him uncomfortable all over.
[I broke the cheapest glass. You can't hit me when you get back.]
Unable to stand the dreadful howling any longer, the assistant held Xiaotu's muzzle shut, finally gaining a moment of peace.
For the first time, he realized just how much a dog could run his mouth.
"Mr. Chang, Xiaotu accidentally knocked a glass off the dining table and broke it."
That was no accident, Chang Yu thought. "It's fine. Just clean up the broken glass. Also, open all the windows in the house to air it out."
"Bring Xiaotu to the office in a little while, so he doesn't keep causing trouble around the house."
Since Xiaotu wanted to go, it wasn't out of the question.
"Yes, Mr. Chang." The assistant put away his phone, only then releasing his hold on the dog's muzzle.
"You'd better hope for the best."
Not the least bit worried about being scolded, Yan Junye wagged his tail and headed straight for Chang Yu's office with light, cheerful steps.
Chang Yu was at Evergreen Company today. He could find his own way there without anyone leading him.
The door to Chang Yu's office was usually left unlocked.
After all, everyone had to knock before entering. Unless he told them to come in, no one outside dared enter.
Once Xiaotu came along, there was someone who dared barge straight in without knocking.
"What are you doing in my office instead of going to the meeting room?"
Yan Junye ran to Chang Yu's side, planted his dog paws on Chang Yu's thigh, and used it to push himself up onto his lap.
