The Dog I Picked Up is the Villain

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the city’s best pet hospital.

When the doctor brought the big dog inside, Jiang Haotian could finally completely relax.

If something bad happened to Shen Jiangling, he could only atone with his death. 

“Xiao Ling, you can’t do such dangerous things next time, understand?” Jiang Haotian sat on the sofa in the pet hospital with some lingering fears. 

He pulled Shen Jiangling aside and reminded him again, hating that he couldn’t continuously provide earnest exhortations beside his ear. 

“I understand, Brother Haotian.” He had already sent the big dog to the hospital, so Shen Jiangling didn’t refute and followed his words. 

“You ah, you’re always like this. Dare to admit your mistakes, but still refuse to change, stubborn to death.” Jiang Haotian sat down beside Shen Jiangling and took off his coat to drape over Shen Jiangling. His expression was full of helplessness. 

Shen Jiangling revealed an embarrassed smile, “Brother Haotian, I’m not cold. You should wear it.”

“Just wear it if I’m letting you, why talk so much?” Jiang Haotian didn’t allow him to reject and helped him put on the jacket. 

However, his clothes were one size larger than Shen Jiangling’s, so not only did the shoulders not stay up, but the sleeves were also too long. 

Shen Jiangling looked like a child secretly wearing adult clothes, appearing especially comical. 

“I saw a clothing store next door when I came. Brother Haotian, you wait a minute, I’ll go buy a jacket for you.” Shen Jiangling scampered out and returned with a gray down jacket in hand after a while. His eyes bent, “Now we both won’t be cold!” 

“En.” Jiang Haotian curved the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of tenderness.

To be honest, you could also say that he was picked up and brought home by Shen Jiangling. 

He was the only child in the Jiang Family, and his parents were usually very busy with work with no time to take care of him. Therefore, they hired a nanny to look after him. 

But that nanny was someone with a sweet appearance but a bitter heart. When his parents were home, she behaved especially good-naturedly, but once they left, her expression immediately turned to displeasure, and her attitude towards him became unusually vile. When she was in a bad mood, she would even abuse him. 

He was still young at the time and had no way to resist, so he could only endure. 

Sometimes when his parents returned, he wanted to tell them, but they either didn’t have the patience to listen to him or thought he was lying and slandering the nanny. 

After they left, the nanny beat him harder and didn’t stop until he cried and promised he wouldn’t dare to tell his parents next time. 

Over time, he talked less and less. 

Until he met Shen Jiangling in kindergarten. 

Shen Jiangling saw the wounds on his body by accident and asked him what had happened. After he learned about the ins and outs of the matter, the little child, that was as soft and tender as cotton candy, instantly exploded with anger and immediately took him to find the teacher. 

The teacher was shocked and afraid they would be blamed, so they hurriedly contacted the parents. 

It was only then that his parents discovered what the nanny had done. They were so angry that they fired her. 

But they were extremely busy with work and couldn’t stay home to take care of him, so they could only hire a different nanny for him. 

Shen Jiangling knew that he was all alone at home and didn’t have anyone to talk to, so he took his hand and let him go home with him. 

Whether it was toys or snacks, he would always fervently give Jiang Haotian half. 

Shen Jiangling’s family was also very kind to Jiang Haotian. 

Only then did Jiang Haotian feel the warmth of a home. 

Before college, he spent most of his time in the Shen house. 

Therefore, in Jiang Haotian’s heart, Shen Jiangling was no different from a biological younger brother. 

A few months ago, because of Leng Sihan and those friends of Shen Jiangling’s that were harboring bad intentions, Jiang Haotian was angered. 

He originally was doing it for Shen Jiangling’s good, but because he worded it wrong every time, the two finally parted on bad terms after arguing. 

It would be a lie to say it didn’t upset him to see Shen Jiangling become increasingly alienated from him. 

Fortunately, Shen Jiangling returned in time and was willing to face him. 

“Xiao Ling, I’m sorry.” Jiang Haotian put on his jacket and suddenly said, “It was my fault before, I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that.” 

“It should be me that apologies.” Shen Jiangling smiled and leaned on him, resting on his shoulder like before, “I shouldn’t have fought with you because of those bad guys.” 

“Brother Haotian, I will be good in the future and not make you sad again.” Shen Jiangling solemnly promised. 

Since he was using the original owner’s body, he would help him clean up the mess. 

What has already happened can’t be changed, but he can be extra good to the ones that treated the original owner with kindness and goodwill. 

“Okay.” Jiang Haotian bent his lips and decided to restrain his own temper from getting angry at the drop of a hat. 

An hour later, the doctor came out and told Shen Jiangling about the big dog’s situation. 

Shen Jiangling felt highly distressed when he learned that the big dog might have been hit by a car and suffered from fractures and internal bleeding. 

It was so cold; what if he hadn’t found the big dog in time? Would he have silently frozen or starved to death in that alley?

The big dog was injured too severely to be discharged from the hospital in the short term and had to stay in the hospital for treatment. 

Shen Jiangling let out a sigh of relief when he learned that everything could be treated. 

He quickly paid and went over to look at the big dog. 

Although the pet hospital was expensive, the service was excellent. 

After they dealt with the wound, they also helped the big dog clean up. 

Only then did Shen Jiangling realize the big dog was actually white. 

He thought it was gray. 

The fluffy snow-white fur resembled a samoyed at first glance, but when it turned its head, it looked somewhat similar to a husky. 

Shen Jiangling didn’t pay attention to the other party’s drooping tail and only thought he had picked up either a husky crossed with a samoyed or a samoyed crossed with a husky hybrid. 

“Hey, big guy, you’re all right now. After your treatment is over, will you come home with me?” Shen Jiangling bent down and looked at the fluffy and soft fur on the big guy, his eyes bright.

After being alone for so long, even a dog looked threateningly handsome. 

The effect of the anesthesia still hadn’t passed, so the big dog lay on the cushion, unable to move. 

Shen Jiangling deceived himself, touched the big dog’s head at thunder speed, then smiled like a flower. 

The fur was so shiny and smooth, and felt so comfortable to touch!

The big dog glanced at Shen Jiangling, who took advantage of him, and felt a little speechless. 

“If you don’t speak, I will take it as you agree!” Shen Jiangling’s brows and eyes curved. 

The dog closed its eyes, unwilling to pay attention to him. 

“Okay, it’s getting late, we should go back soon. Otherwise, aunt and uncle will worry.” Jiang Haotian looked at Shen Jiangling, who had his eyes stuck to the big dog, and rubbed his aching temples. 

“I know.” Shen Jiangling nodded, feeling somewhat reluctant to part. He waved at the big dog, “Big guy, have a good rest. I will come to see you tomorrow!”

“You have to be obedient here, oh.” 

Knowing that Shen Jiangling was leaving, the big dog’s eyelids trembled and looked toward him. 

“Are you reluctant to part with me?” Shen Jiangling had already walked to the doorway, but when he saw the big white dog staring at him, he dashed back and kissed the big dog on the forehead. He cheerfully said, “It’s okay, properly recuperate here, and I will be able to take you home in a few days!”

The big dog who was kissed: “……”

“Xiao Ling!” Jiang Haotian was about to suffocate, “That’s a stray dog, how dirty is it, how can you——”

“Didn’t he just take a bath, he’s not dirty!” Shen Jiangling grinned and pushed Jiang Haotian out, “Didn’t you say to go home? Let’s hurry!” 

Watching Shen Jiangling’s lively silhouette, the big dog’s eyes softened a little. 

That’s right, the dog that Shen Jiangling picked up was actually –ahem- not a dog, but a snow wolf. 

More precisely, it was the current head of the Gu Family, Gu Chaoci. 

The Gu Clan possessed the bloodline of the wolf clan and could transform between their human form and beast form regardless of gender. However, they wouldn’t rashly expose this ability in front of ordinary people. 

They have no interest in being caught by the research institute to be experimented on. 

Every family in the Gu Clan was led by the only snow wolf in the clan. 

The next snow wolf would be born only when the previous snow wolf dies. 

And during this period, the black wolf of the clan was in power and was responsible for guiding the snow wolf cub. 

When the snow wolf cub comes of age, the black wolf will return the authority as head of the clan to the snow wolf. 

The ranking system of the wolf clan was strict, and typically there will not be any mistakes. 

But there will be exceptions to everything. 

And the unfortunate Gu Chaoci encountered this exception. 

That black wolf was fine at first and also taught Gu Chaoci earnestly. 

But after being in power for a long time, he gradually became reluctant to pass the position of the head of the family to Gu Chaoci. But he couldn’t break the rules, or else the clan would attack him. 

Therefore, the black wolf decided to deal with Gu Chaoci. 

After Gu Chaoci dies, the next snow wolf will be born, and he will be able to remain in power for another 18 years. 

And if he can use that snow wolf in the future, then the power will always be in his hands. 

All kinds of conspiracies and tricks have surrounded Gu Chaoci since he was fifteen. His original white canvas was slowly dyed various colors. 

At the age of eighteen, the black wolf tried to kill him but failed. 

He and the black wolf have been fighting to this day. 

In fact, with Gu Chaoci’s ability, there are ways to prevent the black wolf from jumping around.  

But he liked the sullen expression the black wolf displayed when he tried everything in his power yet couldn’t do anything but obey his orders, so he kept the black wolf to amuse himself. 

Unexpectedly, he pitted himself and almost lost his life. 

Gu Chaoci was injured this time because he competed with someone for a piece of land a few days ago. 

It was said that the other often used underhanded methods, but he didn’t take it to heart and was hit. 

When the accident happened, he tried his best to avoid it but still suffered severe injuries. 

The other also had backup plans, so he could only transform into his beast form and climb out from the car’s shattered window, hiding in a trash can. 

This was probably the most challenging period in Gu Chaoci’s life. 

He was starving and freezing these days, and his wounds would be in excruciating pain with the slightest movement.

The humans were disgusted and shooed him away, but that wasn’t worth mentioning. It was the ferocious stray cats and dogs that were his greatest threat. 

Gu Chaoci had not slept peacefully at all these days, for fear that a stray dog would bite him while he was deeply asleep and he would never be able to see the sun again.

Although he felt that life was boring, he did not want to die in such a suffocating manner. 

At the very least, it was only enough if he dragged the black wolf to hell. 

Gu Chaoci initially thought that once his subordinates realized he had disappeared, they would definitely come to find him. 

However, a week passed, and there wasn’t the slightest stir. 

He knew those people must’ve either been subdued by the black wolf or were hindered. 

Originally he thought he would freeze to death, but Shen Jiangling unexpectedly picked him up, it was truly……

The situation of the Gu Clan was currently unknown, and he was also injured, so rashly returning was simply throwing his life away. 

It would be better to temporarily stay with the person who picked him up to recuperate and then return after recovering. 

Gu Chaoci pondered in his heart and thought of this. 

The circle in the city was only so big, so the slightest news was quickly passed from person to person. 

Therefore, he has heard about Shen Jiangling’s foolishness and Leng Sihan’s good blessing more than once from other people’s discussions. 

In Gu Chaoci’s opinion, Shen Jiangling was an idiot that would still happily laugh and help Leng Sihan count the money after being sold by him. And the idiot was not only stupid by himself but also pulled his family to do stupid things, which is also quite remarkable. 

That Leng Sihan was precisely a white-eyed wolf. No matter how good you are to him, he will still bite back in the end and eat it clean. 

However, a few days ago, he seemed to have heard that Shen Jiangling, this little idiot, acted in the nick of time and wanted to end his engagement with that bastard Leng Sihan? 

It was unknown if he had really made a decision or was just playing hard to get again.

One couldn’t blame Gu Chaoci for thinking this way, in fact, most families in the upper circle of the capital thought this way. 

Because Shen Jiangling had been humbly in love with Leng Sihan for so long, it didn’t seem possible that he would suddenly change his attitude so much. 

Forget it, forget it. Because he saved his life, when he recovers from his injuries and reclaims the authority of the Gu Clan, he will protect this little idiot a bit. 

The snow wolf’s pointed ears faintly trembled as he decided. 

The author has something to say:

Current snow wolf: Tch, little idiot!
Future snow wolf: Wife! Look at me wife, look at me!

【About how the doctor at the pet hospital did not recognize the gong as a wolf, the explanations are as follows: (1) many dogs look similar to wolves, such as huskies, Alaskan malamutes, Czechoslovakian wolfdogs, (2) wolves are not as docile as dogs and seldom live in areas where humans are, (3) the doctor in the pet hospital has only come into contact with dogs, not wolves, (4) I can’t make anymore up, just treat it as the plot needs it. If the doctor at the pet hospital recognized the gong as a wolf, then he would have already been sent to a zoo or wildlife protection center, and this novel can’t be written anymore orz】

T/N:

I’m glad Jiang Haotian found a family.

Also, fun fact, pronouns for she, he, and it all sound the same in Chinese [ta], but whenever Shen Jiangling refers to the gong, he uses the pronoun [he], while Jiang Haotian has been using [it]
