The dog's owner was a little girl with a pair of pigtails. She ran over quickly, pressing down the exuberant golden retriever and putting the dog leash back around its neck. She scolded it angrily, "Why are you so disobedient? I can't even call you back. You're not getting dinner tonight."

"Aroo."

The golden retriever howled twice in grievance, but its wet eyes looked at Song Yu without blinking.

The little girl hugged the golden retriever and stood up, her expression apologetic, "I'm sorry, it ran away while I wasn't paying attention. I'll pay more attention next time. I'm sorry I scared you guys."

Song Yu certainly wasn't going to admit that he'd been scared by a dog. It was too shameful. He stood there, tense and quiet, and pushed Xie Sui out slightly. Quickly help him sort it out!

Xie Sui came back to his senses and tucked his thoughts away in an instant.

That strange glimpse of memory was blanked out again and he hid the coldness and contemplations in his heart.

He glanced at Song Yu, sorted out his thoughts, then turned his head towards the little girl. He casually said, "It's okay. In any case, the one who was frightened wasn't—"

His throat moved, and the words 'wasn't me' hadn't yet come out when—

Song Yu pinched his arm.

He pinched him across the thin school uniform and twisted hard, his actions fierce.

Xie Sui's lips rose and he quietly changed his words, "Oh, no one was scared. Hurry and take it away; I remember that the school doesn't allow pets to be brought into the playground."

The little girl looked at Song Yu, who was hiding behind him, in confusion, "That little brother..."

Xie Sui smiled slightly, "Don't misunderstand. He's not afraid of dogs, he just likes to stay behind me."

Song Yu: "......"

The little girl didn't really understand, but she walked away with the golden retriever anyway.

Song Yu finally relaxed his breath and then only now realized that he'd lost face in front of Xie Sui. He clutched at his hair, depressed.

And Xie Sui tilted his head to ask, "You're scared of dogs?"

Song Yu had already thought it through—being scared of dogs wasn't anything to be embarrassed about; a real man never backed down from facing his weaknesses.

He nodded, his gaze unfocusing like he was trying to recall something, but he couldn't remember no matter how he tried. He only had a vague impression of the event, "Yeah. When I was a child, I remember seeing a mad dog biting people and it always stuck with me."

Xie Sui's dark eyes grew thoughtful. He'd once again heard Song Yu mention his 'childhood'.

Last time, when Song Yu had wanted to chat with him at night, they'd spoken about the past, but it had remained vague.

"Come walk around with me." Xie Sui suddenly said.

Song Yu was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he would randomly ask such a thing of him, "I haven't run yet."

Xie Sui: "Then I'll wait for you to finish running."

"Forget it, it's all the same anyway. I might as well spend the rest of the time chatting with you."

Typically, 'walk with me' meant that someone wanted to speak some words from their heart. It was rare for Xie Sui to make such a request, so it was more important for him to be a good brother than to prepare for the sports event.
