The Male Lead Is a Dog - Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Just as I was getting ready to close up and head home for the day, a sudden downpour started outside. Naturally, I hadn’t brought an umbrella.

At that moment, a familiar scratching sound came from the door.

I looked up, and my jaw nearly hit the floor.

Laicai was standing at the entrance, soaked to the bone, with an umbrella clutched in his mouth.

“Laicai?!”

I hurried to pull the door open. He darted inside nimbly, dropped the umbrella at my feet, and then gave his body a vigorous shake, spraying water all over me.

Ignoring the water on my face, I vigorously rubbed his head.

“Did you come all this way just to bring me an umbrella?”

He tilted his head back with a proud, slightly disdainful look, staring at me with utter contempt.

Danmu:

[Mr. Leng: This woman can’t survive without me.]

[What is the Male Lead doing? Does he really think the shop owner is his master?]

[What happened to being cold and ruthless?]

My heart warmed. I grabbed a towel and began drying his damp fur.

“You silly dog. Why would you run out in such a heavy rain? What if you catch a cold?”

He squinted his eyes in enjoyment, then suddenly seemed to remember something and froze. His expression stiffened as he quickly regained his aloof, high-and-mighty demeanor.

I didn’t care. I kept rubbing his soft ears.

“What do you want for dinner? How about some pork hock?”

Laicai’s ears perked up instantly. His tail wagged twice before he could control it, and then he forced himself to stop, pretending not to care.

Danmu:

[The Male Lead is acting more and more like a dog!]

[Not only did he steal her underwear to line his nest, but he also sneaks into the owner’s bed at night to keep warm.]

[Man, you really shouldn’t be a dog for too long. Look at this… he’s actually turning into one.]

My face flushed. I remembered that I had indeed found my long-lost underwear in the dog bed this morning.

As for the “hot water bottle” that appeared in my bed in the middle of the night…

I looked down at Laicai, who was currently the picture of righteous dignity. It was truly hard to imagine this CEO doing such things.

With fur that thick, was he really afraid of the cold?

As night fell, the thunder and lightning intensified.

Laicai seemed very restless.

I hesitated for a moment, then patted the bed.

“Are you afraid of the thunder?”

“Why don’t you… sleep up here?”

Anyway, he was a dog right now, not a person.

Laicai lifted his head, wearing a look that said, “Who’s afraid? Not me.”

But his act didn’t last three seconds. A sudden crack of thunder scared him so much that he jumped onto the bed in one smooth motion, carefully curling into a ball at the foot of the bed.

“Hey…”

I nudged him gently with my toe.

“Why so far away? Don’t they say dogs love to snuggle their owners?”

Danmu:

[Did the shop owner just put her foot on the Male Lead’s face? But why isn’t he angry? He actually looks like he’s secretly enjoying it?]

[That’s nothing. The Male Lead even sneaks licks of the shop owner’s feet in the middle of the night!]

[I suggest she just grab him and cuddle!]

Wait!

My pupils dilated in shock.

He licks my feet?

Could it be… that after Leng Yanzhou turned into a dog, he also picked up canine habits?

Just like how my customers’ dogs liked to lick my feet.

Laicai reluctantly scooted forward a bit, finally stopping next to my calf.

He looked a bit pitiful.

My heart softened, and I scooped him up, pulling him into my arms.

“Go to sleep!”

His body stayed stiff for a few seconds before he slowly relaxed in the crook of my arm.

I don’t know how much time passed before a deafening thunderclap exploded.

Drowsily, I felt like the Laicai in my arms had grown much larger.

When I unconsciously tightened my grip, my palm brushed against smooth skin.

“Mmm… stop it…”

I mumbled in my half-asleep state, habitually patting his rear to tell him not to crowd me.

The texture was wrong!

It was too firm and bouncy.

And… why was there no fur?
