âYour dad gave you a dog, and he allows you to keep it inside the staff dormitory?â Wang Xiaomingâs disbelief was plain on his face. âThe school forbids the rearing of pets, and the teachers wouldnât go against the rules, setting a bad example.â
âMy dad gifted me this large dog because he was afraid that I would be too lonely. I never let it leave this roomâthat way, no one will discover it.â The girlâs tone was cute and innocent, but listening to her, chills ran through Chen Geâs body.
âIn other words, after you got the dog, it has never left this house?â Chen Geâs brows lifted.
âWhatâs wrong? The dog was originally very feral. Me and my dad used a long time and effort to train it, to make it obedient.â The corners of the girlâs lips curled upward into a bright smile.
âItâs just that animals will get sick after being left inside a house for a long time. Occasionally, you have to take it out for a stroll.â Chen Ge turned to the bedroom where the strange sound had come from earlier. The bedroom door was closed, so he could not see anything. Even the strange sound had disappeared.
âXiao Lin, donât listen to her. Our school has strict rules against keeping a pet. Be it the staff or students, if they are discovered to have broken the rules, they receive a severe punishment. A pet like a dog is different from a snake or lizardâit will make noise. Once the neighbors hear that, they will report this to the authority. The secret canât have been kept.â Wang Xiaoming did not believe the girlâs words at all. âAfter all, you are not the only person who stays here.â
âMe and my dad considered that before, so we gave the dog a special training.â The girl had a cute smile. She was so cute that one would have to urge to hug her and pinch her cheeks. âWhen the dog first arrived, it was very unruly. Whenever someone passed by the door, it would scratch on the door or knock into the furniture. Later, me and my dad came up with a solution. We purposely left home and pretended to be passersby walking down the corridor. Whenever the dog made a sound, we would return to take something away from it. After repeating this about ten times, the dog slowly learned its lesson. Now even if there really is someone who passes by, it will be very obedient.â
âYou sure are experienced at training dogs.â
The girl was very happy to have been given some praise. âThere is not much experience to be said. Once you deal with more than enough dogs, youâll eventually come across the solution.â
âHave you reared many dogs in the past?â Chen Ge asked in shock.
âYes, initially, I kept them in secret. After I was discovered by my dad, he was very angry.â The girl sounded wounded. âWithout asking for my permission, he took care of the dog. I was so mad. I refused to speak to him for a very long time until he later gifted me a large dog.â
âHow come I feel like none of the dogs you kept survived for long? A dog has quite a long life span. From the looks of it, you are at most twelve years old, and if you took care of them, one dog should have been enough to accompany you until now.â Chen Ge squatted down before the girl. His pupils narrowed as he looked into the girlâs eyes.
âItâs mainly because they are so disobedient. If they were obedient, they wouldnât have been punished.â The girl looked at Chen Ge, and her voice slowly dropped. âI donât know why, but they are all very afraid of me. If only they were all as friendly as you are around me, little brother.â
A little girl was not only not afraid when two strange men showed up in her room, she was very happy. It was obvious that there was something wrong.
âWhat are you talking about?â Chen Ge pretended like he did not hear the girlâs last sentence. He carried a warm smile on his face and hugged the girl lightly. âThis is the first time Iâve met a girl as cute as you. What is your name?â
Chen Ge sat on the sofa and placed the girl on his lap.
âMy name is Bai Ling.â Chen Ge was stunned when he heard that name. San Chi Bai Ling 1, traditionally, represented suicide by hanging.
âGood name, itâs classical, pure, and rolls out the tongue.â Chen Ge paused before asking, âBai Ling, your surname is Bai, so is your father Mr. Bai who teaches the night school?â
With a wink, the girl slowly nodded. âYes.â
âYouâre Mr. Baiâs daughterâœâ Before Chen Ge said anything, Wang Xiaoming was the first to yelp. It appeared as if he had suddenly been reminded of something scary. His face was white, and he kept making nonverbal hints to Chen Ge.
âEven though we are students from another campus, weâve heard of Mr. Bai. Heâs a hardworking, responsible teacher.â Chen Ge maintained the friendly smile. âBai Ling, we still have something else to do, so we wonât stay to disturb you anymore.â
âYouâre leaving already?â The girlâs expression changed instantly. The innocence on her face disappeared. Green veins surfaced on her neck, and her large eyes stared fiendishly at Chen Ge.
âItâs over now.â Wang Xiaoming silently moved to stand behind the girl. He gestured at Chen Ge by placing his palm over his lips. He wanted to detain the girl and then run as fast as they could. Since their faces had been seen, what was the point of running? Chen Ge used his hands to caress Bai Lingâs head lovingly. Since there were no escape, he was going to try to get more benefits and information before leaving.
Never give up, never surrenderâthat was Chen Geâs motto.
âBai Ling, weâre not leaving. We just want to go look for something inside the maintenance room at the end of the corridor. Since you stay here, do you know how to open that door?â Chen Ge said calmly like he did not notice the scary transformation of the girlâs face when she was angry. He continued to lovingly touch the girlâs head.
âI think my dad has a spare key. Itâs inside the bedroom drawer. Iâll go take a look.â The veins around the girlâs neck slowly disappeared, and she reverted to her previous state, but her hold on Chen Geâs arm grew stronger. The girl led Chen Ge to the bedroom door. She hesitated when she wanted to push the door open. It was as if she was worried that Chen Ge might see the thing inside the room. âWait here, Iâll be out in a minute. Donât go anywhere!â
She pushed the door open a gap and quickly slipped through it and closed the door.
âXiao Lin, this is our chance! Quick!â Wang Xiaoming ran over to grab Chen Geâs wrist. âShe is Mr. Baiâs daughter. Mr. Bai will eventually return! If weâre caught by him, then itâs really over!â

âThe girl has already seen our faces. She will tell on us to her father. The point is weâve also tricked her, so she will definitely add more offences when there are none.â Chen Ge stood where he was. He realized that the people at this school liked to grab his armâit felt like they were all fighting to claim him.
âNow is not the time to care about those details!â Seeing Chen Ge still standing at the door, Wang Xiaoming panicked until his forehead was drenched. âXiao Lin, you heard what she said earlier. Mr. Bai has brought Bai Ling many large dogs!â
âIn the past, there have been cases of students mysteriously disappearing after they were sent to detention. It was Mr. Bai who sent them to detention!â
