Chen Xuan flipped his hand back and clamped its muzzle, so Fu's latter half of the sentence turned into a muffled whimper.
Then he looked at Liu Shuyue a bit awkwardly. "Uh, this…"
"Where did this dog come from?" She didn't seem to have heard it speaking human words at all, only surprise in her eyes. "—Is it yours?"
Wait a second, she can't understand what the dog says?
Chen Xuan tried letting go, and sure enough, the dog muttered, "It's Fu's fault. Fu didn't tell Master beforehand that Fu can speak in two language modes. One can be heard by everyone, and one only Master can understand. To others it just sounds like normal barking."
It was blaming itself, but its ears drooped in grievance.
"It looks really close to you… Can I pet it?" Liu Shuyue leaned forward, looking eager to try.
"Of course. This dog… does kind of count as mine." Chen Xuan coughed twice.
