The reason why Ruan Mian and Lu Yang became good friends is actually related to dogs.
When little Ruan Mian transferred to East City’s Little Sunflower Kindergarten, his parents had just passed away. His eyes were red and swollen from crying. He had just arrived in a strange environment and did not dare to cry or make a fuss. He sat on the bench obediently, lowering his head and hiccuping.
The deskmate assigned to him by the teacher was the little tyrant in the kindergarten. The little tyrant was very good-looking and had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.
When the little tyrant saw him, he pointed at him and shouted arrogantly: “Hey! Are you a rabbit? Why are your eyes so red!”
Little Ruan Mian felt a surge of panic and quickly covered his eyes. His mother had said that pure-bloods were very precious, and that his rabbit form shouldn’t be easily revealed to others. Peeking through his fingers, he secretly watched the little tyrant and couldn’t help but marvel at how smart the little tyrant was—he had instantly recognized that Ruan Mian was a rabbit.
The teacher came over from nowhere, grabbed the collar of the little bully, dragged him away, and said in a low voice: “Lu Yang, be good! Ruan Mian’s parents just passed away, he is in a bad mood now, don’t provoke him, if you make him cry, I will call your grandfather over…”
The teacher’s voice gradually faded away, and when little Ruan Mian heard the teacher mention his parents, his eyes couldn’t help but turn red again. A few tears fell, and he didn’t dare move his small hands away from his face for a long time, fearing that his eyes would look even redder.
Although the little tyrant didn’t quite understand the meaning of ‘passed away’, he found that his new deskmate looked pitiful, just like a frightened little rabbit.
As a powerful arctic wolf, he naturally couldn’t bully the weak, so he endured it and didn’t provoke his rabbit deskmate again, but he couldn’t help but sneak a peek at his rabbit deskmate, and his deskmate’s red eyes looked inexplicably cute.
However, his rabbit classmate was very stingy. Every time he found that he was looking at his eyes, he would cover his eyes nervously and not let him see. He couldn’t help but secretly curl his lips, he hadn’t seen enough.
Little Ruan Mian was also observing his classmate. He found that his classmate was not only a little tyrant in the kindergarten but also a pampered baby.
Just like now, the little tyrant’s finger was only slightly scratched by the page of the book, without a drop of blood. He frowned with his two little eyebrows, raised his finger, and blew carefully on the injured part for a whole class.
Little Ruan Mian kept watching him secretly, afraid that he would faint due to a lack of oxygen.
When class was over, the little tyrant finally put his hand away. As if to reward himself for blowing hard for a whole class, he took out a candy from his pocket and put it in his mouth.
Little Ruan Mian couldn’t help but sniff lightly. After the candy wrapper was opened, the air was full of a sweet smell. It should be his favorite fruit candy.
He couldn’t help swallowing his saliva. He hadn’t eaten candy for a long time. After his parents passed away, no one gave him candy anymore. He knew that his second uncle and second aunt didn’t like him, so every time he saw them giving candy to his cousin and not giving it to him, he could only lower his head obediently.
Little Ruan Mian felt that the little tyrant with the smell of candy on his body seemed inexplicably cute. He took out the Band-Aid that his mother had put in his backpack before, held it for a while reluctantly, then pulled the chubby hand of the little tyrant and put it on him.
Little Ruan Mian lowered his head and blew gently on the finger with the Band-Aid, “It won’t hurt this way.”
Little Lu Yang blinked in surprise and looked up at his rabbit classmate. When his rabbit classmate blew, his breath blew softly on his fingers, refreshing and cool, much more comfortable than when he blew it himself.
Although the Band-Aid was pink and bunny-shaped, it didn’t look cool at all, which greatly damaged his image as a little tyrant.
When school was over, parents waited at the school gate, and the children ran fast with their short legs.
Little Ruan Mian was the last one to walk out of the class. His second aunt had to go pick up his cousin first, and she would come to pick him up very late.
When he came out, he saw that his deskmate, the little tyrant, had not left either. He was standing in the empty yard, with a schoolbag on his shoulders, staring at the door, not daring to move, trembling with fear.
Little Ruan Mian thought that the little tyrant looked a little strange, and walked over curiously to take a look. He saw a cute little puppy lying on the ground, shaking its tail. After seeing him, it barked twice.
Little Ruan Mian couldn’t help but smile, squatting beside the little puppy, wanting to touch the little puppy’s fur. His mother used to like dogs the most and often took him to play with puppies, so even if his original form was a rabbit, he was not afraid of dogs at all.
“Don’t move!” The little tyrant’s voice was filled with tears, and it sounded like he was about to cry. He shouted at him weakly: “Go away quickly.”
It took little Ruan Mian a long time to react. It turned out that the little tyrant was afraid of dogs.
He stood up quickly, blocked the little tyrant with his small body, waved his little arms, and shouted in a baby voice: “Dog, go away quickly, don’t scare my deskmate here.”
The little puppy stood up reluctantly, wagged his tail, and walked away slowly.
After driving away the puppy, little Ruan Mian turned around and found that the little tyrant’s face was pale with fear. He quickly reached out and patted the little tyrant on the back, and comforted him softly: “Don’t be afraid. Call me when you meet a dog next time. I’m not afraid. I will help you drive them away.”
The little tyrant nodded in shock, took out a candy from his pocket and put it in the hand of his rabbit classmate, and said embarrassedly: “For you.”
Little Ruan Mian’s eyes lit up when he saw the long-awaited candy. He took the candy with curved eyebrows and said with a bright smile: “Thank you, Lu Yang, you are so kind.”
The little tyrant couldn’t help grinning, revealing a mouthful of uneven white teeth, “Tutu, you are so kind too.”
He had been keeping a straight face and not daring to smile today because he had just lost two teeth and didn’t want to be seen without them.
……
Ruan Mian and Lu Yang lay side by side on the bed, covered with a quilt, with their feet sticking out, swinging happily from time to time. They each held a box of ice cream in their hands and were eating it with relish.
Ruan Mian ate the ice cream in his mouth, turned his head, glanced at the ‘Little Tyrant’ next to him, and couldn’t help asking: “Baby Lu, are we engaged now?”
Lu Yang took a spoonful of ice cream and put it in his mouth, then nodded slightly. “Yes, your guardianship has officially been transferred to my family. Grandpa said that we should invite the relatives over for a meal sometime to officially announce our engagement. As for whether we actually get married, we can decide that for ourselves when we’re older.”
Ruan Mian was still in a state of confusion about the engagement, without a real sense of reality.
He thought of the engaged young couples in TV dramas, and found that they all seemed to love each other to death.
He couldn’t help blinking his eyes and asked doubtfully: “Baby Lu, do you love me?”
Lu Yang paused while eating ice cream. He thought for a while and answered confusedly: “I don’t know.”
He didn’t really know much about feelings, let alone what love felt like.
When he was an Omega, there were many Alphas, Betas and Omegas pursuing him, but he didn’t have any special feelings for them, let alone love. He didn’t even have a little more affection for them.
If there was anyone in this world who was different from others to him, it would be Ruan Mian. Although he didn’t know if this was love, there was no doubt that Ruan Mian was the most important person to him.
He thought for a moment and nonchalantly said, “Let’s fall in love slowly. After all, you won’t find anyone who will care for you more than I do.”
Ruan Mian ate a spoonful of ice cream and nodded contentedly, “That’s right, Baby Lu is the best to me.”
The two of them quickly forgot about this topic. Lu Yang put the spoon into Ruan Mian’s ice cream and took a bite. “Does your ice cream taste good?”
“It’s delicious.” Ruan Mian also put the spoon into Lu Yang’s ice cream and took a bite. He lowered his head, tasted it, and said, “Your ice cream seems to be more delicious.”
Lu Yang swapped their ice creams and said, “Then let’s eat it like this. I think yours tastes better too.”
Ruan Mian nodded and agreed very much. When they were eating, they were unwilling to eat their own portion only. They had to taste each other’s before they could settle down.
The two of them ate for a while, and Lu Yang suddenly laughed in a good mood, saying loudly: “Tutu, you will be a member of our family in the future, I will protect you!”
Ruan Mian also laughed, leaned on Lu Yang, and said in a light voice: “That’s great, Baby Lu, I’m so happy.”
Lu Yang touched his cheek and said arrogantly, “My little wife, Tutu, I will definitely treat you well in the future, and work hard to make money to buy you candies for a lifetime.”
Ruan Mian blinked his starry eyes and said with his fingers: “When I inherit the money my mother left me, I will also buy you the Legos you like, Auntie her favorite bag, Uncle knee pads, and Grandpa the tea set he liked last time!”
Lu Yang stretched out his hand to rub his hair, teasing: “I didn’t expect that the little wife I snatched is a rich second generation.”
The two of them instantly burst into laughter, playfully tapping each other’s chins and rubbing each other’s shoulders, and they began to goof around joyfully.
When Ning Muxiang came over to deliver the milk, she pushed open the door and saw the two of them laughing together, leaning on each other as if they were in the middle of an amusing conversation. The room was filled with joyful sounds, and they were hugging each other without any awareness of her presence. They didn’t even notice when she walked in.
Ning Mixiang stood by the door, smiled silently at them, and gently put the milk on the table without disturbing them.
Although she didn’t think the relationship between the two of them was romantic love, she knew that in this world, except for Ruan Mian, there should be no other person who could make Baby Lu laugh like this.
