In this case, sharing the rent is impossible. With Wang Xing's die-hard personality, even when he couldn't get the girl before, he would still try his luck. Now that she agreed to be with him, he's probably eager to move in together right away!

Of course, he might not dare, or rather, he might not have the means. After all, Jiang Mengting isn't weak and wouldn't let someone like Wang Xing succeed so easily. However, giving a little sweetness is necessary.

Otherwise, how could the two who hadn't even held hands in four years suddenly hold hands today, interlocking fingers?

As for Old A's remark about "a dog and its master parting ways," he acted as if he didn't hear it. After all, everyone has their moment of glory. After over four years, he finally got what he wanted, so it's normal for him to show off a bit. He just considered it as caring for the mentally challenged.

The next day, Su Qing was preparing to move. It just happened to be Saturday, and Old Su wasn't working, so he lent him the car to help him move.

Lately, Su He had been staying up all night watching dramas and playing games. He even started contacting classmates and friends to plan a trip.

As for the elderly couple at home, they had similar plans. They're likely to leave next Friday or even earlier, so it's agreed that Su Qing should take Da Huang away today.

The moving process went quite smoothly. He didn't have much stuff, so he made two trips in total—one to move his things and another to pick up Da Huang.

He couldn't possibly wait until the day the elderly couple was leaving to pick it up.

Unexpectedly, when Old Wang next door found out he was moving, he became surprisingly enthusiastic, even taking the initiative to help load the things onto the car. Anyone unaware might think they were model neighbors in China.

With help, the moving process was faster. Before leaving, Old Wang patted his shoulder, expressing how happy he'd been being neighbors and telling him to come back often, considering he owns the flat and can come over for meals.

If he hadn't heard Old Wang's inner joyful shouts through narration, he might have believed him.

That's right; ever since Old Wang accidentally exposed those blue pills in front of him last time, he had a mental block about it, especially knowing the neighborhood wasn't soundproof. If he were strong, it'd be fine, but if he wasn't, and people overheard, it'd be too embarrassing.

Moreover, his wife had compared him to Su Qing next door more than once, which was utterly unacceptable to Old Wang. After all, the guy was younger and better-looking. In the long run, he feared turning into an unwelcome cliché—like some meddling Old Wang who gets their house robbed.

Fortunately, it was all over—Su Qing was moving, giving Old Wang a renewed sense of hope amid his recent insecurity. That's why he was so eager to help, wanting Su Qing to leave sooner to eliminate any potential "home-wrecking" threats.

Only after watching Su Qing drive away did Old Wang breathe a big sigh of relief, feeling completely refreshed, as if he could reclaim his manhood and lost dignity that night.

Qingshui Garden—Su Qing's new residence.

The location was much better than before, with the convenience of nearby subways and buses.

Inside the neighborhood, the distance between buildings was vast. The buildings weren't too tall, there weren't many residents, and with plenty of greenery and gardens, it felt quite serene.

"Woof woof woof"

"Don't bark, shut up, get inside!"

Su Qing held the dog with one hand and opened the door with the other, then gave Da Huang a little kick to get him inside.

Suddenly being in a new environment, Da Huang seemed uneasy, especially since Su Qing rarely returned home, so the man and dog weren't on the best terms.

"Woof woof woof!"

[The narrator helpfully translated Da Huang's current state, explaining he was very unhappy and was hurling dog-level profanities, planning to complain to his rebellious mom when he got home.]

However, the profanities weren't translated, either because the narrator couldn't translate them or worried about censorship.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing slammed the door shut with a cunning smile:

"Hehehe, doggie, a wise dog follows the times. I advise you not to be ungrateful, or else..."

With the door shut, Da Huang promptly shrank back, surveyed the room, then launched into the kennel in the corner of the living room, sliding across the slick floors like it was skating.

Like Tomcat with a drift, he slipped into his kennel, then stuck his head out towards Su Qing, barking: "Woof woof woof woof woof!"

Pairing that with its cheeky expression, Su Qing didn't need the narrator to know he was being cursed out.

Behind the bars of the kennel, it seemed like the dog regained its confidence.

In response, Su Qing sneered, opened the kennel door, and stared back.

Da Huang:...

"Woof... whine~~~"

Barking midway, suddenly the kennel door opened, and it turned into a whimper, suddenly too guilty to meet his gaze, looking off to the side, occasionally glancing back at him.

After all, Da Huang might be a big dog, but it's less brave than a Pomeranian. Without mom Zhou Hui as his backer, he couldn't act so brazenly.

Seeing Da Huang so cowardly, Su Qing had to laugh; no wonder this dog could understand his mom seamlessly. Just from the skill of observing words and expressions alone, it was exceptional and knew when to play dumb.

He then pulled Da Huang out of the kennel.

"Sit!" Su Qing folded his arms, imitating his mom Zhou Hui's tone.

Sure enough, Da Huang obediently sat down.

"From now on, your name is Lai Fu, got it?" Su Qing continued.

Da Huang: "Woof!"

Su Qing wasn't sure if it agreed or not, as the narration didn't translate. Anyway, he fancied himself like Chang Wei.

Then he led Da Huang around the house, focusing on the bathroom, telling it to do its business there in the future.

Da Huang could use the toilet himself and even flush, so his mom hardly had any trouble taking care of him, not needing to carry poop scooping tools while walking him.

Soon enough, Da Huang returned to normal, ate some dog food, and went back to its doghouse to sleep.

To it, Su Qing wasn't an outsider—so long as there's food, it didn't matter who provided it.

Just as Su Qing was fretting about the pile of stuff in the living room, Wang Xing called on video. As soon as he answered, Wang Xing's voice came through.

"Qingzi, is this the place? Hurry and buzz me in, see what I brought?"

Talking while showcasing some deli foods and a case of beer at his feet.

Soon, he saw a radiant Wang Xing.

As soon as he was inside, Wang Xing boomed with a classic local proverb:

"I say, those billion-dollar deals you made weren't for nothing, huh? You even secured a duplex from your landlord lady; how about throwing in a few more billon to get me one too?"

At this, Su Qing rolled his eyes in feigned annoyance, then called inside:

"Lai Fu, come here and greet your big brother!"

No sooner said than done, Da Huang darted from his doghouse, unleashing a slew of dog-level profanities at Wang Xing: "Woof woof woof woof woof"

Wang Xing: ???
