Wei Yueāer chuckled and said, "I happened to meet him, so we came back together."
Lin Fan said, "Your Sister Xiaoyue was bullied, and I helped her drive away the bad guy."
"What?" Dog No.2 was furious. "Who dares to bully Sister Xiaoyue? Iāll go beat him up!"
With Dog No.2ās bear-like brawny frame, one punch could probably make Chen Junjie shit himself. Although Dog No.2 is a big dummy, if someone really bullies Wei Yueāer, he would definitely be the first to rush in and hit the person.
Wei Yueāer laughed and said, "He was already beaten up by Lin Fan and ran away."
Dog No.2 snorted, "Serves him right, Brother Fan is way more awesome than me. But Brother Fan is nice; if it were me, I wouldāve beaten him to death!"
In Dog No.2ās eyes, Brother Fan was his idol, so Dog No.2 always thought Brother Fan was better than him. Brother Fan actually got into college, while Dog No.2 didnāt even finish primary school. He really admired Brother Fan.
Wei Yueāer and Lin Fan exchanged a glance and couldnāt help but stick out their tongues. Dog No.2 has always regarded her as an elder sister, and he might really beat Chen Junjie to death, so she never dared to tell Dog No.2 and Aunt Chunyu about Chen Junjie harassing her.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Itās fine now. Dog No.2, has Aunt Chunyu come back?"
Dog No.2 became happy again, grabbed Lin Fanās hand, and dumbly smiled, "Mom is already home. Brother Fan, Iāll take you to see her; sheāll be very happy to see you!"
Dog No.2 grabbed Lin Fan with one hand and picked up the load on the ground with the other. The load weighed over a hundred pounds, but it seemed weightless to him, thanks to his natural strength.
Dog No.2 was actually only twenty this year, a year younger than Lin Fan. Who knows why he grew to be so strong, like a big black bear.
Soon, they arrived at Dog No.2ās home. As soon as they entered the yard, Dog No.2 shouted, "Mom, Brother Fan is here!"
A woman emerged from the kitchen, sleeves rolled up, and with wet hands, holding a rice cooker, looking like she was about to wash rice and cook.
Upon seeing Lin Fan, the woman immediately flashed a bright smile, "Little Fan, itās really you! When did you come back?"
"Hello, Aunt Chunyu, I came back last night," Lin Fan replied with a smile.
This woman was Dog No.2ās mother, He Chunyu.
He Chunyu dressed very simply, like an average farmer, and after a day of work, her skin was a bit red from the sun. However, her skin was naturally fair, and she had very striking features and excellent charisma.
Her simple clothes couldnāt hide her aura. If she wore something elegant, sheād look just like a radiant noblewoman. Despite being nearly forty, she didnāt look old at all, seeming more like she was in her early thirties.
Lin Fan always felt a bit amazed whenever he saw He Chunyu.
Back when Lin Fan was a child, he befriended Dog No.2 mainly because of He Chunyu. The first time he saw her, he was captivated. Back then, she was younger, even more beautiful than now. As Dog No.2ās close friend, Lin Fan visited often just to catch a glimpse of the beautiful Aunt Chunyu.
When Lin Fan was younger, he used to daydream about Aunt Chunyu. Now that heās grown, he no longer harbors any inappropriate thoughts and has become true good buddies with Dog No.2, treating Aunt Chunyu as an elder.
Aunt Chunyuās husband passed away very early, and she raised Dog No.2 on her own, which was not easy. Plus, for Dog No.2ās sake, she never remarried and was considered a great mother.
Now, Lin Fan feels more respect for He Chunyu, but he still canāt help being amazed whenever he sees her. She always gives him an extraordinary feeling.
"Xiaoyue is back too, the house hasnāt been this lively in a long time. Lin Fan, stay for dinner tonight!" He Chunyu said warmly.
Lin Fan wanted to stay, but thinking of Lin Zixing at home, he said, "No, weāve also cooked at home. Maybe another day. I just came by to say hi and need to get back."
Dog No.2 looked a bit forlorn, "Brother Fan, youāre leaving so soon?"
Wei Yueāer laughed, "Lin Fan, look how happy Aunt Chunyu and Dog No.2 are to see you. Why donāt you stay for dinner?"
Lin Fan said, "I just got back today and havenāt even gone home yet."
It was true; he had intended to go straight home but got caught in so many incidents, delaying him until now, and he hadnāt even seen his parents yet.
He Chunyu regrettably said, "In that case, I wonāt insist. Little Fan, how about coming over for dinner tomorrow night?"
Lin Fan cheerfully responded, "Sure. Dog No.2, Iām heading back now, Iāll come find you tomorrow."
Dog No.2 seemed quite reluctant, "Brother Fan, wonāt you really stay for dinner? I brewed a pot of wine myself, waiting to drink with you when you came back."
Lin Fan laughed, "Iāll come tomorrow, and weāll drink together!"
"Alright." Dog No.2 reluctantly agreed, "Brother Fan, Iāll see you out."
Lin Fan then said goodbye to Wei Yueāer and He Chunyu, "Aunt Chunyu, Xiaoyue, Iām heading back now."
He Chunyu replied, "Remember to come tomorrow."
So, Dog No.2 walked Lin Fan out. When they just saw each other, Dog No.2 looked very reluctant.
"Dog No.2, has Xiaoyue been living at your place for a long time?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
Dog No.2 thought blankly for a moment, "I donāt remember, but sheās been here a long time."
Lin Fan asked, "What do you think of Sister Xiaoyue?"
Dog No.2 immediately broke into a silly grin, "Sister Xiaoyue, sheās beautiful, like a fairy!"
Lin Fan laughed, "Do you like Sister Xiaoyue?"
Dog No.2 never lied to his best friend, Lin Fan, and nodded, "I do, but mom says Sister Xiaoyue is an elder sister, I can only be her little brother, canāt marry her as my wife."
Lin Fan was puzzled, unsure of Aunt Chunyuās reasoning. Did she perhaps think Dog No.2 wasnāt suitable for Wei Yueāer?
"Would you like to marry Sister Xiaoyue?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
Dog No.2 chuckled innocently, "Iād like to, but I need to listen to mom; if she says no, then no."
Lin Fan knew Dog No.2 was very filial; from childhood to now, he always listened to Aunt Chunyu. Whatever Aunt Chunyu asked him to do, he did.
They relied on each other, and for Dog No.2, his mother was the most important person, followed by Lin Fan, and now there was one more, Sister Xiaoyue.
"If someone bullies Sister Xiaoyue, would you protect her?" Lin Fan asked.
Dog No.2 angrily declared, "Of course! If anyone bullies Sister Xiaoyue, Iāll beat them to death!"
Lin Fan said, "Recently, someoneās been harassing Xiaoyue. I canāt always protect her, so when sheās coming or going from work, keep an eye on her."
Dog No.2 solemnly nodded, "I understand. Iāll definitely protect Sister Xiaoyue!"
Lin Fan smiled, "Thatās good, no need to see me off, you should go back."
Dog No.2 suddenly looked at Lin Fan and started grinning.
"What are you smiling at?" Lin Fan asked, curious.
Dog No.2 laughed, "Brother Fan, you like Sister Xiaoyue, donāt you?"
Lin Fan laughed in disbelief, "Howās that possible? I just met her today."
Dog No.2 laughed heartily, "Thatās great! Even though I canāt marry Sister Xiaoyue, Brother Fan can! Brother Fan, you need to put in effort."
Lin Fan was taken aback, looked at the silly smiling Dog No.2, and sometimes couldnāt tell if Dog No.2 was genuinely silly or just pretending.
