“Ao~”

Dawn was just breaking when a black and white husky jumped up onto the bed. The feeling of having a forty to fifty pound large dog jumping on the bed was something that people had to experience themselves to understand!

Wei Xiao was trampled by the husky and let out a grunt. He even started to have thoughts of murder. “Down!”

The dog had long been used to its master’s bad temper when he got out of bed, and used its claws to dig him out. Wei Xiao’s black hair that was spread messily beneath the quilt was revealed, followed by his pale cheeks, the black circles under his eyes from staying up late, and the murderous aura hovering over his entire body.

The dog was completely oblivious as it butted against him with its head.

Wei Xiao’s neck was itchy from the scratchy fur, “How did Laozi raise up a doggy thing like you?!”

The real doggy thing whined and kicked up a fuss, wanting to go outside.

Wei Xiao pummeled the dog on the head in anger, but he unfortunately couldn’t bear to use any real strength. The husky thought that its owner was teasing it and panted as it got even closer with its tongue. Wei Xiao couldn’t take it anymore, lifted up the quilt, and got out of bed.

He was only wearing a pair of shorts, his exposing legs that were both long and straight. His figure was thin but not frail, and because he was young, it was full of a youthful teenage vigor.

“I only slept for three hours. Soybean, you better be quick.”

He casually pulled on a pair of pants, tugged on a sweater, and picked up the leash, holding down the restless dog and leashing it carefully before taking it outside.

This was the one disadvantage of raising a dog. They had to be taken out early in the morning so that they could solve their physiological problems, which was exceedingly unkind for someone like Wei Xiao who had his days and nights flipped upside down.

The cold wind blew straight towards his neck as soon as he went out, and Wei Xiao was so chilled that his sleepiness disappeared completely. The urge in his heart to stew a dog kept increasing.

Were huskies tasty?

Soybean sensed its owner’s ‘love’ and let its tongue loll out as it wagged its tail.

Wei Xiao gave up on the idea.

This dog couldn’t be stewed. Eating it would reduce his intelligence!

He was bored and took out his phone to idle away the time while the dog dealt with its physiological problems.

It was freezing outside, and he hid both of his hands in his sleeves. Only the index finger of his right hand peeked out to draw on the screen.

He’d fallen asleep as soon as he hit the bed last night and hadn’t logged out of his accompanied gaming platform account. At this time, his account had received a lot of messages.

“200 a game?”

“One game is half an hour, 400 yuan

an hour? Why don’t you just go rob a bank?!”

“Look at the market price, okay, other accompanied players only charge 15 yuan a game! What makes you worth such a high price!” 

Wei Xiao was an accompanying player for hire. What was an accompanying player? It was having a boss pay you to accompany them, chat with them, and help them increase their ranking, the full set. It could also be considered an offshoot of the gaming industry, except that the money that could be made was rather small, where one match was only ten or so yuan. Anyone with a little more ambition had already gone off to be a live streamer.
