You Are a Sweetness I Can’t Quit - Chapter 51

When he saw the person he collided into was a young girl wearing yellow ducky slippers, he pulled off her shoes to help her run better. He tossed the shoes aside, grabbed her and ran.

“My shoes!” Ji Xingyao yelled.

Those were her birthday gifts from Uncle Leng. They were limited edition!

Which meant they cost a lot of money.

The money-obsessed girl hurt in her chest.

But her shouting was ignored. The boy was worried the dogs would catch up to them, so he kept making her run.

Little Bun, who initially walked to her grandparents’ snack shop, was now pulled in the opposite direction.

Her bare feet were irritated by pebbles on the street, making her close to tears.

Just when the boy was about to drag her into Nanpo Apartments, Ji Xingyao got free of his grasp.

“Who are you?!”

“My name is Qin Morui. We can’t stop now. The dogs are almost here. You have to run with me!”

Yes, this was Qin Morui, who had finally gotten away from his dad, and was now being chased by dogs.

He was passing a fried chicken place when he looked over a few times and suddenly, a dog ran out of the store.

He was running when he collided into someone.

Since the girl he collided with wouldn’t run with him, he started to panic, sweat covered his forehead.

When she remembered the dog barks earlier, Ji Xingyao seemed to understand the boy’s fear. She pursed her lips and looked toward the big yellow dog headed their way. She walked toward Qin Morui.

She patted her chest with confidence.

“Don’t be scared. I can protect you.”

Qin Morui was shocked. He looked at this little girl, who was shorter than him by half an head and said in front of her,

“No. I’m bigger than you. I should protect you!”

“I’m four!” Ji Xingyao reached out four fingers and emphasized.

“So am I!” Qin Morui didn’t back down. He gestured to their heights, “I’m taller.”

“I’ll grow taller!” Ji Xingyao puffed out her cheeks and faced off Qin Morui.

Qin Morui had received a gentleman’s education since birth, which taught him he shouldn’t let females protect him, so he walked in front of her again.

The two of them went back and forth. Soon, the big yellow dog got close to them.

“Bow wow wow — ”

The sudden dog barking stopped the two kids’ argument.

Seeing the dog leaping toward them, Qin Morui grew serious. He reached out his arms to hide the girl in his arms!

Before he could pick up a rock to strike the dog, he realized the big yellow dog had squatted down on the ground. The dog didn’t bare its teeth at them, instead, it was shaking its tail.

When the dog confirmed the boy wouldn’t hit it, it ran closer and tried to get into their arms, or to be exact, the girl’s arms.

She knew the dog?

“Big Yellow, don’t lick me anymore, you’re getting my clothes dirty.”
