Chapter 37

This was their first hug.

Shi Wen couldn't tell for a moment whether the violent beating of his heart was more due to successfully firing the first shot or successfully embracing Yan Kexing for the first time.

He was stunned.

The next moment, Yan Kexing's large hand covered his ears, gently rubbing them, and he asked in a low voice, "Was it a little loud?"

The warmth of Yan Kexing's palm was so intense that Shi Wen felt as if her ears were burning.

Shi Wen said, "It is a bit hot."

Yan Kexing showed a slightly puzzled expression.

Shi Wen: "..."

Good heavens, this is completely nonsensical.

A Shi Wen of despair washed over him, and he stammered, "Um, I meant the barrel was a little hot."

A smile flashed across Yan Kexing's face as he gently took the gun from his hand and fastened the safety, "It's a bit hot, let me take it."

Chapter 37

Shi Wen that they had a great success with their wild boar hunt, bringing back 236 wild boars, which basically wiped out the wild domestic boars in the vicinity of N City.

Even when considered within the context of the entire city, this number remains remarkably high.

Shi Wen, "I never expected there to be so many wild domestic pigs here."

Zhou Hongzhong sighed with deep emotion, "Yes, thankfully the attack was timely, preventing any injury. Otherwise, things would have been much more complicated."

Two hundred and thirty-six wild boars were transported back, and their operation to combat the rewilding of domestic pigs has temporarily come to an end.

They searched up and down the mountains for three days straight, and everyone was exhausted.

Shi Wen politely declined the celebration banquet, saying he needed to go back, take a good shower, and get a long sleep.

Zhou Hongzhong knew he was exhausted, so he tried to persuade him to stay, but to no avail. He then said, "Then you should go back and get some rest. You can come out for drinks again next time."

Shi Wen had become quite familiar with them now, so upon hearing this, he didn't refuse and readily replied with a smile, "Sure, call me if you have a gathering."

While they were talking, Yan Kexing waited quietly to the side and watched them chat.

After they finished talking, the two left the gate of Zhou Hongzhong's office compound, where Gong Jiang was driving over to pick them up.

Shi Wen seeing Gong Jiang, Shi Wen couldn't help but ask, "Is everything alright at home?"

"Everything's fine," Gong Jiang said with a smile from the driver's seat. "It's just that Heiwa missed you while you were gone for a few days. He waited for you outside the ranch every day, and the other dogs and Cong Zai followed suit. Even the two little tigers kept sneaking towards the ranch gate, only to be carried back by us."

Shi Wen hissed and squeezed into the door Yan Kexing opened for him. Sitting in the back seat, he said with concern, "Didn't I call them? Why are you still waiting at the door? It must be so cold outside in this weather!"

After Yan Kexing got into the car, he sat down next to him and said, "They miss you."

Shi Wen leaned back in her chair and sighed, "I miss them too."

Yan Kexing a soft "Mmm": "You'll see him when we get back."

Gong Jiang, sitting in the front, keenly sensed that something was off between the two of them, but he didn't feel comfortable asking. He could only peek at them through the rearview mirror.

He hadn't looked twice when his eyes met Yan Kexing's.

Yan Kexing sharp eyes and a blank expression on his face.

As Yan Kexing's current top disciple, Gong Jiang was used to Yan Kexing's expressionless face. He immediately turned away intimidated, focusing on driving without asking a single question.

After driving for a while, Shi Wen's fatigue overwhelmed her, and she quickly fell asleep.

Yan Kexing unfolded the blanket from the back seat and gently covered him with it, his hands very politely avoiding touching anything else.

Gong Jiang noticed the commotion behind him and glanced over out of the corner of his eye, only to find that their mentor was unusually gentle today.

Something's really going on?

Suddenly, a single thread connected all the random events in Gong Jiang's mind.

He said, "Why would their advisor move to the ranch? It doesn't make sense for two tiger cubs!"

I see!

The car slowly drove to the entrance of the ranch.

It was afternoon, and the dogs that had gone out to graze had returned and were lying behind the wooden door waiting.

As soon as the car arrived, the dogs, whether they saw Shi Wen sitting inside or smelled his scent, immediately started barking excitedly, having been waiting quietly.

As Heiwa shouted, he suddenly turned around, ran a few steps back, then turned around again and rushed forward. Using the momentum, he leaped high into the air, clearing the wooden door that was more than a meter high, and landed on the ground, rushing towards the car.

The other dogs followed suit, turning around first, then using the momentum to leap up and successfully jump over the wooden door.

Cong Zai didn't even need a running start; he simply leaped from the spot, grabbed the wooden door with his claws for leverage, and flipped over it in no time.

Shi Wen of the car, he was greeted by a group of enthusiastic little ones.

The dogs barked loudly, "Woof woof woof!"

It sounds like she's accusing him of taking so long to come back?

Despite the dogs' complaints, as they circled around him, their tails still swished enthusiastically, whipping his trouser legs with a dull "thump, thump" sound.

This warm welcome almost melted Shi Wen's heart.

Shi Wen squatted down, holding one dog in each arm, petting one after the other, and then reaching out to Cong Zai: "Don't lick, don't lick, I missed you too. Have you been good at home?"

The dogs barked, "Woof woof woof!"

Cong Zai: "Meow."

Shi Wen was completely entangled and couldn't break free, so he turned to Yan Kexing for help. "Could you come and help me?"

Yan Kexing smiled, walked over and picked up the meowing Cong Zai, then gently patted Heiwa and the others, signaling them to stop causing trouble.

Shi Wen was then able to stand up and lead the pack of dogs home.

The two Hu Zai still kept at home until Shi Wen they were finally released.

They were both excited and dissatisfied, whimpering Shi Wen's trouser leg, hanging directly above his pants.

Shi Wen almost had his pants ripped off, so he had to hold onto them and bend down again to Hu Zai.
