Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!

Chapter 304: The Heroic Dog Smashed Into a Car for My Daughter—My Decision for My Husband: We’ll Keep It!

The expression on Principal Wang Weiguo’s face shifted from shock to contemplation, and finally to a kind of deep admiration.

He didn’t ask further about the dismantled and reassembled military module.

Instead, he cast a deep glance at Gu An, who was already engrossed in his own feet on the carpet.

Then, he patted Gu Yanshen on the shoulder and burst into laughter.

"Good boy! You’re even luckier in life than you are in battle!"

Having said that, he turned and left with Political Commissioner Zhou.

Throughout the weekend, the temporary quarters of the Gu Family became the hottest "attraction" at the National Defense University.

And it was all because of this.

The ferocious and infamous guard dog, Black Wind, lay flat in front of the Gu Family’s door like a black carpet.

Whoever approached, it emitted a low, warning growl from its throat.

A curious student tried to get closer to the commotion and barely took three steps before Black Wind sprang up, baring its sharp white teeth, scaring the student into fleeing in a panic.

Only when the baby stroller appeared, or Gu Ning’s little head peeked out from the door, did Black Wind’s expression change instantly.

Its large body lay down, and its tail wagged furiously like a windmill.

Zhao Tiezhu came over with a bowl of rice, witnessing this scene, and forgot to chew the bun in his chopsticks.

"My goodness..."

He observed Black Wind, eagerly wagging its tail at Gu Ning, desperate to nuzzle up to the little one like a footstool.

Then he looked at the giant dog that completely ignored him, not even sparing a glance.

"Old Gu, I finally get it. In your house, the pecking order is your wife first, the two kids tied for second, and you...at best, you and the dog are tied for third."

Gu Yanshen emerged from the room, holding an apple Lin Wan Yi had just peeled.

He ignored Zhao Tiezhu’s teasing and directly brought the apple to Lin Wan Yi’s lips.

"Have a taste."

Lin Wan Yi took a bite as he held it.

The sweet juice carried the unique essence of the Spiritual Spring.

"It’s very sweet."

Watching from the side, Zhao Tiezhu felt an ache in his teeth.

He felt like he wasn’t there to eat a meal but to witness their love.

Black Wind loyally lay by the baby stroller, while Gu An focused intently on dismantling a clock, and Gu Ning stretched out her small hand, tugging at Black Wind’s ears.

Black Wind hummed with comfort.

This bizarre yet harmonious scene left Zhao Tiezhu’s worldview crushed and reshaped repeatedly over two days.

Good times are always short-lived.

On Sunday afternoon, Lin Wan Yi began packing the bulging cloth bag.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly dampened.

Gu Yanshen silently helped her pack the children’s diapers and bottles, saying nothing.

His movements were slow, as if trying to prolong the packing process indefinitely.

Gu Ning seemed to sense something too, and stopped tugging at the dog’s ears, hugging her father’s leg and looking up at him.

Gu An halted his actions, placing a gear into his sister’s hand.

The time for departure had come.

Gu Yanshen drove the jeep to take them to the university gate.

The car assigned to take Lin Wan Yi back to the city was sent by the news agency.

Instructor Old Zhang held Black Wind, waiting there as well.

Black Wind wore a thick leather collar connected to a chain meant for tethering horses.

It remained quiet, but its bright black eyes were fixed on Gu Ning without blinking.

"Wanyi." Gu Yanshen helped her place the luggage in the car.

"Be careful on the road."

Lin Wan Yi nodded, bending down to pick up Gu Ning.

Just as she cradled Gu Ning and was about to board the car.

"Awoo——!"

A piercing wail, unlike any dog bark, exploded suddenly!

Black Wind went mad.

Its eyes flushed red like a raging bull, lunging fiercely!

"Old Zhang! Watch out!"

Instructor Old Zhang was momentarily staggered by its immense strength.

He clutched the chain tightly, veins bulging in his arm, being dragged along the ground!

"Clang——Clang——"

The chain went taut, creaking painfully.

Black Wind paid no mind; its world only had the car about to carry away its "little master".

It couldn’t break free.

So, it used the most primitive, most desperate method.

"Bang!"

It rammed its head hard against the car door!

The vehicle shook violently.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Again and again, each impact dull and unsettling.

A dent quickly appeared on the car door.

Blood seeped from Black Wind’s forehead, trickling down its dark fur.

It seemed oblivious to pain.

It merely used the most desperate means to plead, to entreat.

The surrounding trainees were all petrified.

Zhao Tiezhu tried to rush forward but was stopped by Gu Yanshen.

"Don’t go! It doesn’t recognize anyone right now!"

In the car, Gu Ning looked at the bleeding dog’s head outside the window, staring into those eyes full of pain and plea.

Her small mouth slowly, slowly pouted downward.

"Waa—!"

A heart-wrenching cry erupted from her mouth.

Tears fell like beads one after another.

Her small hands slapped the car window, crying so hard she struggled to breathe.

"Dog... doggy..."

"Pain..."

This word "pain" seemed to be a key that unlocked some kind of switch.

Outside the car, Black Wind stopped its rabid actions.

It was no longer frenzied, merely lying under the car door, gently rubbing its head against it, whimpering like a puppy.

Blood stained a small patch of ground red.

Instructor Old Zhang collapsed on the ground, the iron chain in his hand had long worn through his skin, bleeding profusely.

Watching this scene, this man in his forties had red-rimmed eyes.

He suddenly scrambled up from the ground and rushed to Gu Yanshen.

"Mr. Gu!"

His voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of desperate pleading.

"Take it away!"

"Get it a special discharge! I’m begging you!"

"Without your girl, it won’t survive! It will die!"

These words were shouted at the gate of the National Defense University, in front of everyone.

A meritorious dog that had accomplished great feats, an experienced instructor, was begging someone to take it away.

Gu Yanshen looked at Black Wind, lying on the ground, barely breathing, then at his daughter in the car, sobbing almost to the point of fainting.

His hand clenched into a fist.

Reason told him, no.

This was too dangerous.

Just as he was about to refuse.

The car door was pushed open from inside.

Lin Wan Yi, holding Gu Ning, stepped out.

She didn’t look at Gu Yanshen.

She just walked up to the blood-covered giant dog and squatted down.

"Do you want to come home with us?"

Black Wind lifted its head, gently licking Gu Ning’s dangling little foot with its tongue.

Lin Wan Yi stood up and looked at the instructor, who was completely stunned.

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it reached everyone’s ears clearly.

"We’ll take care of it."

[Climax: In the moment of hesitation from the male lead, the female lead against all odds, decisively makes a decision, showcasing extraordinary courage and responsibility.]

Gu Yanshen suddenly looked at her.

Lin Wan Yi looked back, giving him a reassuring gesture.

She turned to the instructor and continued speaking.

"But, not now."

"It’s seriously injured and has old ailments. You’re professionals, take care of it first."

"Once it’s fully recovered, send it to our home in Beijing."

Her arrangement was clear and logical.

It resolved the immediate crisis while considering the long term.

Instructor Old Zhang was so excited he was incoherent, nodding repeatedly.

"Alright! Alright! Don’t worry! I’ll make sure it’s well-fed and chubby before sending it to you!"

The turmoil ended just like that.

Black Wind, coaxed by Old Zhang, was reluctantly led away, looking back every few steps.

The car could finally start.

Gu Yanshen opened the car door, leaving a restrained yet deep kiss on Lin Wan Yi’s forehead.

"Wait for me."

"I’ll come back next week."

"Okay."

The car slowly drove out of the National Defense University’s gate.

Lin Wan Yi instinctively looked back through the rearview mirror.

In the setting sun, the man’s upright figure stood at the entrance.

He raised his right hand, saluting in the direction they were leaving.

The car drove further and further away, and that figure became smaller and smaller.

But that raised hand never came down.

Until it disappeared at a corner.

Lin Wan Yi withdrew her gaze, looked down at her daughter, who had stopped crying and was curiously touching her cheek.

Her heart was filled to the brim with an emotion that was both sour and warm.

This man.

This family.

She was determined to protect them.
