"Oh, Coco is here," said Shui Xian and rushed off to that cuddly dog he liked so much. By now, even Lin Zhen was not as bitter about how his dog had become so close to Shui Xian. It's not like he could do anything about it so he just chose to make peace with it.
But it wasn't actually that easy to do so. After all, his Coco was like his baby. Seeing your child running off into the arms of another man! Oh! The rush of anger that he felt because of this thought but had to swallow down his anger. He just sighed and distanced himself from them.
His morning walks had become like this from the time Coco and Shui Xian found each other. But he was glad that he only went out for morning walks three to four days a week.
Seeing Raelle, Lin Zhen stepped closer to her. She looked at him and blinked. Seeing how her eyes were set on him, Lin Zhen felt a pressure that couldn't be ignored. He never thought one day he'd be sweating under the gaze of a woman even younger than him! But this young woman was not to be trifled with. Even his subconscious mind was clear about how dangerous she could be.
"I read the research that dog people like to prefer sleeping with their dogs rather than their partners. Is that true?" asked Raelle in her blank voice.
"Huh?" Lin Zhen was dumbfounded. Not just by the question itself but also because of the thought that Raelle Xiang had taken the initiative to talk to him. Even though her question was bizarre.
"Considering you are a dog person, do you like to sleep with your dog or your partner?"
Lin Zhen cleared his throat and said, "I don't have a partner."
"There is no need to act like a Virgin Mary with me," was Raelle's retort. "Yes, you're not currently dating but that does not mean you didn't before."
Lin Zhen opened his mouth and closed it. Then he took a deep breath and opened his mouth again to say, "I'd rather hug my partner to sleep when she is around."
"You mean he," corrected Raelle.
Lin Zhen's eyes widened when he heard that. He did not think she'd actually point that out.
"Oh, wait! That's not correct," added Raelle. "You're bi. So it could be she as well."
Lin Zhen felt so exposed before that he kept staring at her in disbelief.
"You don't have to look at me like I intruded on your privacy," said Raelle. "Who told you to be Hyson's bandmate? I can't possibly let Hyson stay with just anyone. He is my younger brother. It's my responsibility to make sure that he is surrounded by the right people."
Lin Zhen suddenly laughed out, "So, Fai was right. He does have a protective best friend." He shook his head at the thought. It couldn't be helped. Hyson had told them plenty of times about how his best friend was a little too protective of people around her.
"Coming back to my question," said Raelle. "So, you don't like to sleep with your dog? Should I sue the person who wrote the research paper?"
Lin Zhen was startled and hurriedly told her, "There is no need to do that. On normal days, I do love to sleep with Coco. It's cuddly and huggable. In fact, I also agree that dog people do prefer their dogs over their partners on different occasions. Because dogs are like serotonin boosters. They always make you feel better."
Raelle nodded her head in understanding. It seemed the research paper wasn't just all bullshit. It had some truth to it. But of course, that had nothing to do with her since she wasn't a dog person. Then she looked at her husband who was playing with that dog happily and tapped her chin. Does he prefer that dog over me?
"You don't like dogs?" questioned Lin Zhen. He didn't know how he got so bold to ask questions to Raelle Xiang like this. Maybe it was because she seemed to know his biggest secret and he felt close to her than before.
"I only like the fact that they are loyal," answered Raelle. After all, she had always valued loyalty the most.
"Well, dogs sure are loyal," agreed Lin Zhen.
Raelle stayed silent after that and didn't comment on it. She was looking at the sunrise as she thought of something and said, "By the way, where did you get this dog of yours?"
Lin Zhen stared at Coco and smiled, "Coco is with me for like ten years now. When I first held her in my hand, she was just a tiny baby." His smile widened at the thought. "Actually it was Huang Shuyi who gave me Coco. I don't know where he got Coco from but one day, he brought her with him to the training room. He said he was gonna look for a comfortable home for Coco. I instantly fell in love with her and adopted her." He suddenly thought of something and added, "By the way, I forgot to congratulate you."
"For?"
"You announced your relationship with Mr. Shui," said Lin Zhen. "Yes, you didn't announce the marriage but it's getting there. I think all the celebrities must be cursing you both for taking all their heat even though none of you is in the entertainment circle."
"That only proves that one should be capable enough to the point that just your name would be enough to stir up a storm," was Raelle's reply that made Lin Zhen laugh out loud. She just called out those stars for not even having as much popularity as her who had always been just a mystery. Well, it seemed Raelle Xiang wasn't all that scary after all.
"Wife, let's go now," came Shui Xian's voice before he appeared himself right beside her. As he wanted to hold her hand, she pulled it back.
"Germs," that was all she said and Shui Xian had to put his hand down, acting like a pitiful puppy.. But both of them knew it was just his trick that was obviously not gonna work.
