Chapter 141 My Newly Accepted Disciple
When Liang Dong built the treehouse for his son, his first consideration was safety and stability. So when building this doghouse, he habitually nailed the logs tightly to the ground.
Moreover, Lu Wei said he would build a doghouse for Mi Li. Liang Dong originally thought it was a cozy little house where they would raise a dog together after they got married. Little did he know that it was the kind of doghouse that they would move out of.
Thinking about how he had borrowed thirty nails from Zhou Zeyang to securely nail the doghouse to the yard because he was worried it wouldn't be sturdy enough, Liang Dong felt that he was probably going to die soon.
Ruwei grabbed the doghouse with both hands and tried to lift it up, but the doghouse seemed to be rooted to the spot and didn't budge.
He frowned, took a deep breath, then squatted down slightly, focusing his energy in his dantian. His muscles seemed to inflate instantly, each one taut, as he strained again…
This time, the house remained unmoved. With a crisp "crack," the dog's tail behind the house broke off with a "thud," bounced twice on the ground, and then lay there quietly.
Lin Yue also noticed something was wrong. She subtly turned her head slightly and glanced at Liang Dong's expression. She saw that Liang Dong's face was pale and he looked somewhat flustered. Her mind raced.
After trying twice, Master Ruwei also noticed the strangeness of the doghouse. Seeing that the little thief had ruined his plans again and made him lose face in front of his beloved Mili, he could hardly contain his anger.
Mili stood to the side, watching Master Lu Wei's repeated setbacks, her expression somewhat embarrassed. She bit her lower lip slightly, about to suggest giving up, when Lin Yue walked over, hooked her arm around Mili's, and said in a light and enthusiastic tone, "Miss Mili, I've been researching some dog treats lately. Would you like to come and take a look? Which one does Juanjuan like?"
"Dog treats? Dogs have their own special treats?" Mi Li's attention was indeed diverted, her eyes filled with curiosity, and her expression relaxed considerably.
Lin Yue nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, Miss Honey Chestnut, do you know that many of the things we eat are not suitable for dogs? To ensure their health, it's best to feed them low-oil and salt-free food."
“I know that, I’ve been feeding Juanjuan boiled meat,” Mili immediately chimed in, but her expression was somewhat troubled. “I just don’t know why Juanjuan hasn’t been eating much lately, so I asked Ruwei to build her a new house to cheer her up.”
Upon hearing her mention this, Lin Yue quickly pulled her into the house: "Miss Honey Chestnut, there are techniques to making low-oil, salt-free, and delicious dog treats. For example..."
The two chatted casually like good friends as they walked toward the kitchen.
Mi Li was quickly amused by Lin Yue, and seeing her happy, Master Lu Wei's anger subsided somewhat. However, his gaze remained sharp as he stared fiercely at Liang Dong, then lowered his voice and asked, "Kid, did you do this on purpose? Were you sent by Roland to sabotage my relationship with Mi Li, right?"
Who is Roland? How come this NPC has such a rich backstory?
Liang Dong felt a chill run down his spine, but perhaps the threat of death sparked his inspiration, and he suddenly remembered a brilliant idea.
When Mili came out carrying bags of dog treats, she saw that Luwei and Juanjuan were already playing together. Juanjuan's fluffy little body was happily bouncing around Luwei's feet, occasionally letting out a few excited "woof woof"s.
Upon seeing Mi Li appear, Master Lu Wei quickly stopped teasing Juan Juan, casually wiped his hands on his clothes to remove the dust, then picked Juan Juan up, his face full of smiles, and strode towards Mi Li: "Mi Li, I need to apologize to you."
"Huh? What?" Mili tilted her head slightly, looking at Lu Wei with some confusion in her eyes.
Master Lu Wei nervously scratched his slightly messy hair, then pointed to the doghouse next to him and said, "This wood is something I specially reserved for Juan Juan. The wood is soft, warm in winter and cool in summer, and very easy to clean. More importantly, the natural fragrance of this wood has a calming effect, which is great for Juan Juan's health. You see, Juan Juan likes it very much."
Following Master Luwei's pointing direction, Mili looked and saw Juanjuan running around happily in the doghouse, its little tail wagging like a rattle drum. It would occasionally sniff around in the corner of the doghouse, looking completely absorbed in its joy. Mili couldn't help but smile and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Master Lu Wei continued, "Unfortunately, my new apprentice misunderstood the meaning and made the doghouse in a style that cannot be moved."
Lin Yue, standing nearby, widened her eyes in shock upon hearing the word "disciple" and quickly lowered her head to hide it. Mi Li was also clearly surprised, but she wasn't particularly interested in Liang Dong. She merely glanced regretfully at the doghouse fixed in place and turned to Lu Wei, asking, "What are we going to do?"
Master Lu Wei chuckled, a simple and honest look on his face, and continued, "I should have punished him severely, but this wood is really rare. Even if I beat him up, I won't be able to find suitable material for a while. How about this? You keep Juanjuan, and I'll take care of it for you. If you miss it, you can come and see it anytime."
After saying this, Master Lu Wei seemed to suddenly become shy, scratching his head as he tried to recall what Liang Dong had just taught him. His eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and anticipation: "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Juan Juan, just like I would my own son. I will take good care of it, take it for walks every day, and feed it the most nutritious food. I will definitely raise it to be plump and healthy. When this kind of wood grows again, I will immediately build Juan Juan a brand new and more beautiful house and personally deliver it to you."
Mili was clearly surprised that she had just come over for a meal and ended up "eating" Juanjuan away. Her expression was somewhat hesitant, and her eyes revealed a hint of reluctance.
Meanwhile, Juanjuan, who was standing to the side, obviously didn't remember its owner at the moment. When it saw Mili trying to hug it, it immediately pushed off with its hind legs and "whoosh" dodged Mili's outstretched arm that was trying to hug it. It rolled directly into its doghouse and ran around happily inside, barking joyfully from time to time.
Lin Yue watched this scene from the side, a slight smile playing on her lips. She quietly withdrew her hand after throwing away the chicken jerky, keeping her good deed hidden.
