Gu Xiaoxi smacked her tongue, the epitome of beauty! Such beauty is rarely seen in a century, especially those spirited big eyes with long, thick eyelashes, lethal to anyone who gazes upon them.

No wonder, Yeh Bai would travel such a distance to pursue!

Gu Xiaoxi gripped the rose in her hand, coughed, mustered her courage, and strode towards the dog training field in the distance.

At first, she didn’t attract much attention.

As she drew closer, many people looked at the rose in her hand and stopped, their expressions unfriendly and shifting. Without guessing, it was clear whom the rose was meant for.

It was also the end of the training session.

Gu Xiaoxi arrived just on time and approached Guo Dong with a smile, "Hello! I’m here on behalf of Mr. Yeh Bai to deliver this rose, hoping you’ll like it!"

Guo Dong was at first startled, obviously not yet reacting to Gu Xiaoxi’s sudden intrusion. A large sheepdog beside her barked at Gu Xiaoxi, woofing continuously.

Guo Dong’s cherry-like lips pursed slightly, her hands gripping the dog’s leash to prevent the military dog from charging at Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi stood there feeling the atmosphere turn awkward, yet still, she quietly waited for Guo Dong’s response.

"I’m sorry, I cannot accept the flower. Please tell Mr. Yeh Bai that I am already engaged at home," Guo Dong said coldly without even glancing at the flower.

Gu Xiaoxi assessed Guo Dong, whose voice was pleasant to the ear, not girlishly coquettish nor seductively mature, but delicate like a gentle drizzle, giving a feeling of tenderness.

Up close, she was even more charming and lovable, but her tone and voice were imbued with a cold indifference that kept people at a distance.

"Actually, your engagement doesn’t affect his fondness for you. I’m here on his behalf to deliver the flowers and hope you will consider it seriously. When getting married, one should marry someone they like..."

"The person I’m marrying is indeed the one I like!" Guo Dong suddenly interrupted Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi was left speechless in an instant, what was Yeh Bai doing pursuing someone who didn’t like him!

It was embarrassingly shameful.

Gu Xiaoxi’s face turned red, her large palm covering her forehead, as laughter erupted from behind her.

"Who let this woman in, trying to help someone pursue Guo Dong."

"Not even coming to chase the girl himself, what a lack of sincerity."

"Representing Mr. Yeh Bai, are you? In our unit, no one may be more handsome than him, but there are plenty of men just as good-looking."

"How is such a man worthy of Guo Dong."

"How did you get in here, ma’am? It’s stated clearly at our Military Dog Base that no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter."

"Fuck!" Gu Xiaoxi cursed in her heart.

She clenched the rose tightly, her gaze indifferently fixed on Guo Dong, "Since I’m here today, I just want to tell you one thing, my brother’s affection for you is sincere. If you truly find him utterly repulsive, then the flowers will never be sent again."

Guo Dong’s gaze met Gu Xiaoxi’s without a hint of retreat, her tone still firm, "I truly don’t like him. Why must you make things difficult for me."

Gu Xiaoxi chuckled, giving Guo Dong a military salute, "Sorry for the disturbance. I know what to do now."

This Yeh Bai, to have her come even when his words were so decisively spoken.

It wasn’t just a little embarrassing; she wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.

Is this what it feels like to be rejected during a confession?

Gu Xiaoxi turned with the rose in hand and walked away.

Just then, the military dog in Guo Dong’s grip suddenly moved and became ferocious. It broke free from the leash and charged towards Gu Xiaoxi when Guo Dong wasn’t paying attention.

At the same time, a black military dog led more than ten others as it rushed over from a flat area not far away.

Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes narrowed, damn!

Speak of the devil—it was the same black dog she’d hung from a tree during the drill a while back, wasn’t it?

Could it really remember her?

Gu Xiaoxi’s scalp tingled with dread! Even the officer who had discovered a stranger and had come to trouble Gu Xiaoxi was stunned.

Behind Gu Xiaoxi, Guo Dong angrily shouted at her military dog, "Baoxi, come back!"

Baoxi ignored her completely, leaping up and pouncing towards Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi sidestepped swiftly, dodging in a zigzag pattern. Baoxi missed and instantly became wilder, its mane bristling, emitting a low growl of "woo woo" from its throat.

Over there, the all-black Flying Tiger, fast as lightning, led a dozen dogs attempting to encircle Gu Xiaoxi.

The situation momentarily spiraled out of control. On one side, dog trainers tried to regain control of their military dogs, but some stubborn ones had already joined Flying Tiger’s ranks, prepared to exact revenge for the past event.

Without a second thought, Gu Xiaoxi dropped the rose and made a run for it.

In an instant, her heart sank; meeting an adversary on a narrow path was fraught with pitfalls.

And, Mr. Yeh Bai, she was really sorry. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help him, but if the beauty was not interested in him, even her capabilities couldn’t sway the beauty’s heart.

Gu Xiaoxi ran ahead while an increasing number of military dogs—eventually three or four dozen—gave chase behind her.

Following the pack of military dogs, the dog trainers, each with a look of shock, sprinted after their beloved dogs.

As Gu Xiaoxi passed by, flowers were trampled, trees shed leaves, and she eventually dashed to the high walls of the Military Dog Base, gasping for air as she glared at the group of dogs that had caught up.

At the forefront, led by Flying Tiger, the pack of military dogs came to a sudden halt about ten meters from Gu Xiaoxi.

They stood there, eyes fierce, tails wagging, tongues out, emitting a "woo woo" calling sound as if to say, "Let’s see you try to run this time!"

Behind Gu Xiaoxi was the eight-meter-tall boundary wall.

The military dogs were convinced that Gu Xiaoxi had no escape, so they all stopped and surrounded her, baring their teeth at her.

"I let you off the hook last time and now you come at me again. Listen up, you’ve got the pack, I won’t make a fuss today," said Gu Xiaoxi, sticking out her tongue, catching her breath, then standing tall with her chest out.

Flying Tiger, full of black fur and half a meter tall, bared its teeth and suddenly let out two loud barks before launching itself at Gu Xiaoxi.

As it lunged, Gu Xiaoxi jumped, soaring high to land steadily on the eight-meter wall, while the enraged Flying Tiger, unable to stop, crashed right into it.

Its four paws clung to the wall like a squashed pancake, and a few seconds later, it slowly slid down to land on its back, paws flailing in the air.

Gu Xiaoxi lay perched on the walltop, her eyes glinting playfully as she bared her teeth at Flying Tiger and chuckled, "Blackie, come and catch me if you can! You rascals, even with your numbers, taking you down is a piece of cake."

With that, Gu Xiaoxi spotted someone approaching. She leaped from the wall and hurried towards Mr. Yeh Bai’s car.

Don’t blame her for being immoral by bullying military dogs—it was they who had immorally gone mad first!
