Chapter 36: Intermission ~ Er-Bai Side Story

Note: This is a diary entry told in dog speech, which has been translated into human language by big brother QiThis is referring to the author of the book, Jiu Xiao-Qi.. (Don't ask how big brother Qi understands dog speech. Haven't you heard that writers are all erudite and multitalented ...?)

Date: Unclear. Weather: Grrreat!

This is my first diary entry, so I'll introduce myself. I'm called Er-Bai, husky by race. Currently 3 years and 8 months old. My papa is called Tang Pu, my mama is called Lu Ying-Ying, and I also have a big brother called Tang Yi-Bai [T/N]Awww, we finally have Papa Tang and Mama Lu's names! XD. I am ranked third at home. Behind papa, before big brother.

My big brother is a bad man. As for how bad he is, I won't say anything more. He's still my dear brother after all. Even if he's bad, I can't be disloyal, right?

Oh, right, there's also Yun Duo. Yun Duo is my girlfriend. (Tang Yi-Bai: I dare you to say that again!) ... She's my... big brother's girlfriend. Of course, she actually doesn't like my brother very much. Her favourite is still me. She'll play with me whenever she's free. She likes to throw balls for me to catch, and she also likes me to fetch her slippers for her. She loves me so much so of course I have to give her some face. I'll chew others' slippers to ribbons, but never hers.

I have many good friends. The toy poodle, Pekingese, and corgi living in the building next door are all my friends. To be my friend, you need to meet one basic condition, and that is your body cannot be more than half my size. For example, the Alaskan malamute upstairs. I have never bothered to be friends with him. (Yun Duo: It's actually because you can't beat him, right? =.=) As for breeds like the Samoyed, that's even more impossible. They are too beautiful, already the common enemy of all dogs — how can I ever be friends with one?! My friends can! Never! Never! Ever! Be! More! Handsome! Than! Me!

Now where was I? Oh, yes, I'm here to write a diary entry. It's my big brother's birthday today. The whole family is here to celebrate it together. Yun Duo has bought a fruit cake. There are strawberries, which I love to eat, on top. See, Yun Duo really cares about me very much deep inside. When she helped my big brother to light the candles, my brother kept smiling. Sigh, what a simple person.

After the birthday celebration, the two of them snuck into a room. How could this escape my observant dog eyes? I did not hesitate to follow them.

Oh my god, what am I seeing? My big brother is biting Yun Duo?! Even though you're my dear brother, I will not allow you to bite others! Biting is a dog's special privilege, okay?! What's more, the one you're biting is Yun Duo! Despicable!

(Yun Duo: Don't say anything more. qaq)

I barked furiously at him: Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

He actually dared to look at me angrily. "Why are you here? Get out."

Hoho, I shall not go out! I'm staying right here to protect my goddess!

I leapt into Yun Duo's arms and turned to glare back at him angrily. Yun Duo patted my head, encouraging me greatly.

But he, my own dear brother, did not spare any bit of consideration for our familial bond. He dragged me off of Yun Duo and threw me to the ground, and then ... shoved me out of the room ...

Finally, he slammed the door.

Hmph, you think that will be enough to stop me? Stupid human, you're too naive!

I ran outside, took a turn, jumped up to lean against the sill of the window to their room, and then stared coldly at them. [T/N]A bit of an abrupt ending by the author, but that's all there is; there isn't anymore.
