Chapter 370 - 369: Because They Are Worth It
Chapter 370 - 369: Because They Are Worth It
Xingxing and Yueyue clenched their small fists tighter, continuously cheering them on.
Sheng Zexi held Tuantuan in one arm, while holding Gu Jia Ning’s hand with the other.
Tuantuan in his arms was pondering at that moment.
Although not knowing why his brother and sister were so excited and thrilled, he also happily clapped along and made "ah ah" sounds.
It was unclear how much time had passed.
After the trainer announced, "Today’s morning training ends."
The four pups dashed towards Xingxing and Yueyue like arrows.
Amber also ran out first.
Soon, the four pups ran up to Amber.
They snuggled up to her one after another.
"My pups~"
"Mom, Mom, we’ve missed you."
"Oh, Mom, Hong Ying has missed you."
The four pups kissed and nudged their mom.
No matter how old the children are, whether human or canine, their attachment to their mother remains the same.
After affectionately reuniting with Amber, they didn’t forget about Xingxing and Yueyue either.
The next moment, Gu Jia Ning watched as the four pups jumped into the arms of Xingxing and Yueyue.
They were truly excited, their little tails wagging so vigorously that they were almost a blur.
As Xingxing and Yueyue hugged them, they couldn’t hold back their tears.
"Oh, Hong Ying, Yueyue has missed you so much."
Yueyue kept talking about the past four years.
Xingxing was more reserved, though he didn’t say much, he also cried.
This was somewhat unusual for Xingxing.
Xingxing was generally more restrained, but at that moment, he too was holding Lei Ting, quietly shedding tears, snuggling with them as if to ease his longing.
After a long while, when the two children and four pups finally finished their reunion, Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi naturally greeted the four pups as well.
Hong Ying curiously looked at the little dumpling in the male owner’s arms.
This little dumpling had a somewhat unfamiliar scent but strangely felt familiar.
Seeing their confusion, Yueyue hurried forward to introduce, "Hong Ying, Hong Ying, look, this is the little brother Mom gave us."
"His name is Tuantuan, he’s very cute."
Suddenly enlightened, Hong Ying and the other pups understood.
Indeed, when they left, the female owner’s belly was big.
Now, her belly was flat, indicating she’d given birth to a pup.
...
Since they had arrived at the military dog training base,
The family didn’t plan to leave immediately.
Upon inquiry, they decided to stay at the military dog training base for a few days.
After all, they were going to Beijing later, and the four pups were also going to officially start their service.
At that time, being far apart, it would be hard to meet again.
So, now that they had finally reunited, how could they not spend more time together?
In the following days, it could be said that it was the happiest time Hong Ying and the pups had since coming to the military dog training base.
The trainer also specifically gave them time to spend more time with their family.
During this period, they encountered quite a few people from other military units planning to reserve and select military dogs.
Gu Jia Ning’s family witnessed firsthand how they tried to win over Hong Ying, Shandian, and the others.
However, the trainer mentioned that there might be an event where the military dogs would choose their soldier partners.
Since only those they chose themselves would work best with them.
Here, after consulting with the trainer, Gu Jia Ning planned to make each of the four pups a name tag.
Small, like an iron plate, with their names engraved on it.
Hang it around their necks with a string at that time.
In essence, these name tags were amulets.
Just like the ones Gu Jia Ning placed on Xingxing and Yueyue to ward off deadly attacks.
The amulet was hidden inside the name tag.
Speaking of which, Hong Ying, Lei Ting, and the four pups were Amber’s children.
Amber was her good friend.
Moreover, Hong Ying and the others grew up with Xingxing and Yueyue.
When Xingxing and Yueyue were little, they would push the stroller, take toys, and make Xingxing and Yueyue laugh and play.
When Xingxing and Yueyue attended nursery school, they took turns escorting them to and from school.
In times of danger for Xingxing and Yueyue, they stood up and protected them.
Just like that time, confronting the drug traffickers, Lei Ting shielded Xingxing as he left, bravely facing the enemy’s blade alone.
Meanwhile, Amber felt deeply guilty when she learned Xingxing and Yueyue had been thrown into the sea after being deceived.
That night, she silently wept for a long time.
If it weren’t for Sheng Zexi noticing when he got up at night and telling Gu Jia Ning, they wouldn’t have known.
Thus, for Amber and the four pups, Gu Jia Ning treated them as family.
Since they were family, she naturally hoped for their safety and well-being.
So, even if the system asked for more points to exchange amulets for the dogs in the store, Gu Jia Ning didn’t hesitate.
Because they were worth it.
The next day, when they met Hong Ying and the four pups once more, Gu Jia Ning personally placed the name tags around their necks.
Instructing them to never take it off or let anyone else see it, no matter what happened in the future.
Amber had some understanding of Gu Jia Ning’s miraculous abilities.
Though unsure of what it was,
Anything her sister was so particular about had to be something good.
"Remember, never take it off," Amber sternly instructed the pups.
Hong Ying and the four pups nodded immediately.
Afterwards, Amber asked Gu Jia Ning about what the name tags were for the pups.
"Sister, I know you gave the pups something good."
Gu Jia Ning nodded, "Indeed, it’s something good. Inside is an amulet that can protect them from a fatal attack."
"In the future, when they officially serve, they’ll likely find themselves on the edge of life and death at times. The pups are your children, I’ve watched them grow, and they’re companions to Xingxing and Yueyue. How could I not wish for their safety?"
Gu Jia Ning’s words left Amber momentarily stunned.
She knew that what her sister gave had to be something good.
But she hadn’t expected it to be this kind of good thing.
Something life-saving.
And one for each pup.
Amber’s eyes instantly reddened, and tears flowed out.
"Sister, the thing I don’t regret the most is following you at that time."
Only after following Gu Jia Ning did she understand how wonderful it was to be protected as a family by her.
Gu Jia Ning hugged Amber in her arms, "These are trivial matters, we’re family after all, it’s only right."
"Mm-hmm."
But Amber actually knew, it wasn’t a trivial matter, and not just anyone was able or willing to do it for the dogs.
