Ruan Xingyao said, “Then turn the camera toward Daigua and let me take a look.”
“AAA Pet Protection Squad” turned the camera, revealing Daigua baring its teeth again, looking fierce and ready to bite.
Ruan Xingyao said, “Hello there, Daigua. Can I talk to you for a bit?”
Daigua: “Woof! Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof woof!”
[Are you the helper he called over? Give it up! You’ll never succeed in trafficking me!]
Ruan Xingyao couldn’t hold back anymore—she burst into laughter, translating Daigua’s words for everyone in the livestream.
“AAA Pet Protection Squad” froze for a moment, then turned the camera back to himself, staring at Ruan Xingyao in disbelief.
“Streamer Starry, what do you mean? Daigua thinks I’m trying to kidnap it?” He could hardly believe his ears.
He finally lost his patience, grabbed Daigua, and held its muzzle so it would appear in the frame with him.
But Daigua refused to cooperate—struggling with all its might—and in its mind, it was cursing “AAA Pet Protection Squad” up and down.
At last, the young man showed his athletic strength; he was so strong that Daigua couldn’t break free.
Daigua was furious, its whole body heaving with anger.
If Ruan Xingyao hadn’t already secretly used her spiritual power to check the dog’s condition, she might have worried that it would literally make itself sick from rage.
But precisely because of that, Ruan Xingyao decided to tease the little dog a bit.
She said, “Daigua, can you tell everyone why you bark like crazy in the car and run wild once you’re out?”
Daigua huffed indignantly:
[Why should I tell you anything! You bad people took me away from my dad! I won’t answer a single one of your questions!]
Ruan Xingyao clicked her tongue.
As expected—dogs were dogs, but border collies were something else.
She said, “Daigua, don’t you want to see your dad sooner?”
At last, Daigua fell silent.
It stopped struggling and stared pitifully at the phone screen in “AAA Pet Protection Squad”’s hand.
[You can really let me see my dad?]
[How can I trust you?]
[Aren’t you working with him?]
[What if the moment I agree, you send me to a butcher shop?]
[I’m warning you! I’d rather die than end up in a butcher’s shop!]
The joy that had filled Ruan Xingyao’s face moments ago was now replaced with a full-blown headache.
She never would have guessed — not only was it an extremely suspicious, overly wary youngster, it was also a little drama queen and a real chatterbox of a Border Collie.
She asked one question and the dog argued until her head hurt.
But as a professional animal-mindreading streamer, she dutifully relayed everything Daigua said, word for word.
The chat was nearly dying of laughter.
【Hahahahahaha! A dog this cautious is really a good dog!】
【No wonder it’s our Border Collie Ph.D.!】
【For some reason I feel sad — if humans were as wary as Daigua, maybe there wouldn’t be so many kidnapping tragedies.】
【I seriously suspect the person above is watching a TV show lately — I’m watching it too! It’s really good!】
【Looks like everyone’s watching — gotta shout: may there be no traffickers in the world!】
【Okay okay the show’s great, but this is Starry’s stream — keep it appropriate and don’t drag unrelated people in!】
Ruan Xingyao saw those comments and smiled. “It’s okay — we all wish the same thing: no traffickers anywhere. Whether people or little animals, may everyone live safe, healthy, and happy lives.”
【Since Starry said it, let’s spam ‘may there be no traffickers in the world’!】
Soon the same message filled the chat.
【May there be no traffickers in the world!】
After watching the barrage of messages for a while, You Huan even gifted ten “fantasy ships” to create a special effect in chat.
When that wave of enthusiasm died down, Ruan Xingyao went back to talking with Daigua.
Ruan Xingyao said, “Daigua, I promise — if you tell everyone why you’ve been tormenting him, I’ll make sure you get to see your dad safely.”
Daigua still didn’t want to believe it, but being a border collie meant it was smart and pragmatic.
【Alright then! I’ll tell you!】
Ruan Xingyao smiled. “Okay, tell us.”
Daigua: 【I wanted people to hear that he captured me and was abusing me — I wanted someone to call the police and have that dog trafficker arrested!】
【But for some reason, whenever someone comes to help, after he shows them something, those people leave.】
【So I decided to drag him around when he walks me — wear him out! If I tire him out, I can go home to my dad!】
The more it spoke, the more aggrieved it sounded, its tone changing.
【I just want to go home. I miss my dad! Why is it so hard?!】
Although Ruan Xingyao thought Daigua was a drama queen and overly suspicious, at this moment she still felt a pang of pity for its wronged look.
She said softly, “Alright, Daigua — you’ve misunderstood him. He’s only escorting you on your dad’s request. Once you arrive, you’ll be able to see your dad.”
Daigua: [Really? You’re not just teasing me, are you?]
Ruan Xingyao: “I won’t! I promise you!”
Daigua: [What good is your promise? I don’t even know you!]
For the first time, Ruan Xingyao was completely stumped by a dog.
This little pup was impossible to reason with — it only trusted what it thought was true, which left her at a loss.
It was also the first time such a situation had happened in her livestream.
The chat exploded with laughter again.
【Hahahahaha! I’m laughing so loud! Our Starry is suffering too much!】
【Never thought Starry could be outplayed — lol! It’s mean but I love it!】
【Help! Is this really happening in Starry’s stream? Hahaha! Starry, you surprise me!】
Ruan Xingyao’s fans laughed with good intentions.
But her haters in the chat smelled blood and immediately mobilized.
【Ohoho! Isn’t this the famed Starry who can control animals? How’d she flop this time?】
【Owned by a border collie — and she still claims to control animals? She’s totally delusional!】
【Serves you right, scammer — deserves to be arrested!】
The same old hostile comments reappeared in her stream.
Ruan Xingyao usually ignored such messages; right now she only wanted Daigua to know that neither she nor the “AAA Pet Protection Squad” would ever harm it.
Still, Daigua’s wariness was justified — to it they were strangers, with no reason to be trusted.
With that in mind, the only way to solve the problem would be…
