Soon, the third lucky draw winner appeared.
It was a viewer with the username “Chai Chai’s Out Fighting Again Today.”
As soon as the connection went through, the screen showed a man with a bruised and swollen face.
【Whoa! What happened to this guy? Who beat him up like that?!】
【Good lord! For a second I couldn’t even tell who’s the guest and who’s the streamer!】
【Couldn’t someone have warned me first?! That scared me half to death! Thank goodness it’s daytime, or I wouldn’t be sleeping tonight!】
Even Ruan Xingyao was startled by “Chai Chai’s Out Fighting Again Today”’s appearance.
But after hearing a dog barking from his end, she immediately guessed what was going on.
She composed herself and asked politely, “Hello there! How can I help you today?”
The rugged-looking man—who seemed like a tough guy at first—suddenly started bawling like a kid who’d been bullied and was running to his parents to complain.
“Streamer Starry, please help me teach this rebellious mutt a lesson! He keeps getting into fights every day! I’m constantly cleaning up his messes! I’ve already been to the police station three times this month because of him! Forget about the fines—just look at me! I got beaten up for his sake! Waaaaah! How am I supposed to show my face in public like this?!”
As he cried and wailed, snot and tears smeared across his already bruised face, making him look even funnier.
Ruan Xingyao asked, “Wait—you mean you got beaten up because your dog started a fight?”
“Chai Chai’s Out Fighting Again Today” picked up his dog—a Shiba Inu puppy, maybe four or five months old.
It looked a little better than its owner, though it had a bite mark on its nose where fur and even a bit of flesh had been torn off, still bleeding slightly.
Yet despite its injuries, the pup was grinning like an idiot, baring its little teeth.
Through her ability, Ruan Xingyao heard the Chai Chai’s thoughts:
【Old man! Why’d you drag me back?! Let me out! I’ll bite that stupid dog to death!】
【You useless old man! What a disgrace to us dogs!】
Ruan Xingyao peeked into the Chai Chai’s memories and almost burst out laughing.
This little rascal had actually gone to provoke a big golden retriever—and got mauled for it.
Honestly, it deserved what it got.
And as for its owner getting beaten up until he looked like that… well, that also fit the stereotype perfectly.
Some people just never stop talking until someone hits them.
Still, Ruan Xingyao hadn’t expected “Chai Chai’s Out Fighting Again Today” to have been beaten up by a man shorter than himself.
She cleared her throat and said, “Alright, I understand your situation. I’ll help you have a talk with your little one.”
The man nodded tearfully. “Thank you, Streamer Starry! This little brat’s only four months old, but he’s been to the station several times already! He picks fights with every dog he sees—I’m at my wits’ end!”
Ruan Xingyao said gently, “Okay, calm down first. Let me have a chat with him.”
She softened her tone and turned to the Shiba Inu.
“Hello, Chai Chai, can we have a little talk?”
Chai Chai had still been barking in his mind about wanting to go out and fight again, but when he suddenly heard a strange voice speaking to him, he froze, tilted his head in confusion, and barked loudly.
“Woof! Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof woof!”
【Who’s that? Who’s talking? Are you talking to me, the great Chai Chai? What, you wanna fight this dog too?!】
Ruan Xingyao nearly burst out laughing at the little brat’s arrogance.
She really had no idea where this tiny pup got the audacity to bark like that.
While translating what the Chai Chai was saying for the audience, she spoke gently to it, “Chai Chai, can you tell me why you like fighting so much?”
Chai Chai barked again.
“Woof! Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof woof!”
【What do you mean I like fighting? Those guys deserve to be beaten!】
“Oh? And why’s that? You’re still just a little one. What did they do to make you so angry?” Ruan Xingyao asked.
Chai Chai growled and barked again.
“Woof! Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof woof!”
【They insulted my dad! They deserved it!】
Ruan Xingyao asked softly, “Oh? What did they say about your dad?”
Chai Chai snapped back, barking furiously.
“Woof! Woof woof woof! Woof woof!”
【They said my dad’s a loser—that he’s old and still can’t get a wife, and just lives off his parents! They’re the bad ones!】
Ruan Xingyao faithfully translated the pup’s words for “Chai Chai’s Out Fighting Again Today”.
The man, who had already been crying, burst into full-on sobs after hearing that.
Tears streamed down his face as he completely lost his composure.
Ruan Xingyao didn’t interrupt—she gave him time to calm down.
【Wow! I really thought it was just a disobedient troublemaker! I was about to say this kind of dog needs discipline—but turns out he’s been fighting to defend his dad!】
【Even a dog knows how to protect the ones it loves, yet some humans don’t. Truly, sometimes people aren’t as loyal as dogs.】
【Why am I tearing up over this? Guess this kind of affection just hits different when you’re an adult.】
【Same here! I’m crying!】
After crying for quite a while, “Chai Chai’s Out Fighting Again Today” sniffled, wiped his face roughly, and took a deep breath before saying to Ruan Xingyao:
“Streamer Starry, please tell him… I really don’t care about what people say. I’ve heard those insults all my life—I’m used to them. I just want him to stay by my side, to live happily with me. That’s all I need.”
As he spoke, “Chai Chai’s Out Fighting Again Today” lowered his head and looked at Chai Chai, gently reaching out to pat the little dog’s head.
He said softly, “I’m just afraid… that being my dog might make him unhappy. I’m scared I’m not good enough for him.”
【Uuuu… who said this owner’s bad? He’s clearly the gentlest owner ever!】
【Love always comes with a sense of guilt — that’s so true. You can tell he really, really loves his dog.】
【I totally understand how he feels. I’m the same way. I’m always afraid my dog feels unlucky to spend his life with me — that he’s never eaten the best food, never gone to fun places, and because of me, he hardly even leaves the neighborhood. Sometimes I feel so sorry for him.】
【Hey, don’t think like that! Being each other’s most important companion in life — that’s already proof it’s fate. You have to believe that everything is arranged for the best. When heaven planned this bond, it was meant as a blessing.】
