Chapter 86: Walking the Dogs

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jing MO took out a dog leash, thinking that he would need some effort to put it on Bobo. However, to his surprise, it seemed like the dog knew he was about to meet Xia Xin. Bobo walked over very obediently, raising his paw as if asking to be leashed.

Jing MO was amazed and wondered what kind of magic Xia Xin possessed to make Bobo so well-behaved!

Bobo, with some dignity, walked to the grassy area and, upon seeing Xia Xin, revealed its true nature and rushed toward her. Xia Xin had been sitting on the ground, her balance unsteady, when Bobo pounced on her, it knocked her down.

Bobo happily licked Xia Xin’s cheek, making her face ticklish. She chuckled and said, “Alright, Bobo, it’s really ticklish. Go play with Layle; he’s been missing you.”

Bobo gave Layle a disdainful look and said to it, “I knew dogs like you wouldn’t die easily.”

Bobo was clearly being haughty with his words, but deep down, he was worried about Layle. Unable to resist, he walked over to Layle, sniffing to ensure that he was truly unharmed.

While Bobo played with Layle, Jing MO sat down beside Xia Xin. Curious, he asked, “How did you manage to make Bobo so obedient?”

Xia Xin smiled with a hint of pride and said, “Personal charm.”

Jing MO laughed and said, “That’s more like you. I knew the overly polite person from before couldn’t be the Xia Xin I knew; it must have been a case of mistaken identity.”

Xia Xin pursed her lips unhappily and asked, “So when did you recognize me? Why didn’t you recognize me at first?”

Jing MO said, “At first, I didn’t think that the little fat girl who used to have short hair every day would grow up to be such a beauty.” Xia Xin pouted, “So, you’re complimenting me on being attractive?”

Jing MO gently tapped her forehead, “Don’t be a narcissist.’

Xia Xin playfully made a face at Jing Mo.

Jing MO continued, “And you don’t have the same energy you had when you were younger, so it was hard for me to be certain.”

Xia Xin sighed inwardly. People grew up, and they couldn’t be as carefree as they were in their childhood.

“But when you saved those people by the rockery, I saw a glimpse of your childhood self. I knew it was you, still the same, standing in front of others even when you’re scared. You have to be careful from now on; it’s easy to get hurt this way. No matter what, you must protect yourself first before protecting others,” Jing MO emphasized seriously.

Xia Xin nodded obediently, “I understand, I’ll be more cautious in the future.” Both of them watched their dogs play, lost in thought.

Suddenly, Xia Xin turned towards Jing MO, her hand instinctively grabbing his forearm, and said, “By the way, I have a question to ask you.”

Jing MO didn’t pull his hand away and said, “Go ahead.”

Xia Xin recounted what Sun Tao had told her today, asking, “So, should I go for it or not?”

Jing MO countered, “Do you want to go? Or, do you have any interest in acting or the entertainment industry in general?”

Xia Xin remained silent for a moment before saying, “I’ve always heard that the entertainment industry is very complicated, so I haven’t been very interested. I don’t want to deal with troublesome relationships. But since I met Gao Xin, I’ve realized that there are good people in the entertainment industry too. It all depends on whether I can meet them.”

Jing MO kindly reminded Xia Xin, “But there aren’t many people in the entertainment industry like Gao Xin.”

After another moment of silence, Xia Xin brought up her next concern. She said, “As for acting, I’m not a professional, and I don’t understand it. I’m worried that if I don’t perform well, what should I do?”

Jing Mo replied, “While learning is important in this industry, talent matters even more. Some people are born to be actors. I believe you have a certain amount of talent. Of course, the most important thing is whether you have an interest. If you’re interested, you can learn acting anywhere, regardless of your background.”

However, Xia Xin still wasn’t sure if she was truly interested.

Jing MO continued, “I know a bit about this web drama you mentioned. Your role has limited screen time, and the difficulty of the scenes is not high. You’ll mainly need to mimic cat-like movements. You can watch Batman to observe Catwoman’s postures carefully; it could help you with the role..”
