"Haha. Inu is so smart."
Old man Ji squat down and rub Inu’s head. His strong and powerful general demeanor completely stripped off. The him at this moment looked like a little boy out at the park with his dog.
Inu was very happy. He loves the old man just as much as he loves his mommy. Besides his mommy, it was the old man who cares about him.
Lu Han stood next Lu Tian. He couldn’t help but slightly lean to the side and ask his older brother.
"Bro... don’t you think something is weird about this?"
Like a mighty pillar, Lu Tian stood with both his arms crossed over his chest. His heavenly define looks at this moment was replaced with one of a person struck dumbfounded.
He could not believe that the Samoyed, who’s been nothing but water and fire with him, is actually getting along with someone else. Not only that, even Grandfather Ji, who is a mighty general is acting like a little kid. Is this really the Samoyed that he knows and general that he respects?
After the Samoyed and general’s encounter inside the Lu Household, everyone came out to the back yard. Old man Ji said he wanted to get a little breather. Not only was it like that, Inu somehow found a stick and gave it to the old man. Lu Tian did not think that the dog would want to play fetch. Neither did he think the old man would play along.
However, he really thought wrong.
The old man and Inu has been playing for almost 2 hours now. Neither were even bothered by the people still around. Old man Ji looked like he was in his own backyard, while Inu... well, Inu could careless about anyone other than his mommy.
Lu Han, from the side, pursed his lips. This scene was really too much for his eyes. He whispers to his older brother again.
"Bro, why does is seem like Grandfather Ji and Inu seem to know each other?"
"I feel the same. They just met right? But why do they give this feeling of.... long lost friends?"
From the other side of Lu Tian came Zhao Ya’Er’s voice. She loves animals, but somehow Inu didn’t seem to like her at all. To make things worse, what caught her by surprise is that, Inu likes the supposedly cold and mighty general more than her.
Lu Tian didn’t say anything, but continue to watch Old man Ji and Inu interact with one another. He couldn’t help but wonder the same thing as his younger brother and cousin.
Ignoring all the curious stares on him, Old man Ji knelt down to Inu and pat his head. However, at the same time, he whispers to the Samoyed’s ear.
"Inu, do you know if my granddaughter is seeing one of the Lu boys?"
Inu’s ears perk and he barks an answer. His expression saying, ’Of course I do!’
Old man Ji remained calm and nod his head lightly. He kept his straight face and looks to the distance. However deep down he was grinning uncontrollably like a little girl. Lifting his hand, he pats Inu’s head and he secretly whispers again.
"Which one is it? Do you know?"
Inu rubs his head against Old man Ji’s palm then he runs his ways towards Lu Tian, Lu Han and Zhao Ya’Er. To make things not suspicious, Inu circles Lu Han, then he circles Zhao Ya’Er, as if he was making an eight figure. Lastly, he circles Lu Tian two times before doing the eight figure again.
Lu Han and Zhao Ya’Er we’re both dumbfounded. Not once had Inu come this close to them, and yet, here he is, circling around them.
Seeing Inu’s movements, Lu Tian arch a brow. He found it strange that Inu would do something so suspicious, but he couldn’t figure out the reason for it. Looking at Inu, he then looks at Old man Ji. However, the old man looked the same as always. He pout his lips in thinking, then deciding on something, he brush the thought off.
Old man Ji nod his head slightly. Standing up, he place both hands behind his back and narrow his eyes.
’Aye, so it’s that boy.’
He looks at Lu Tian and then moves his eyes away to not cause suspicion. He has been a general for a long time and he can read people very well, however, the oldest Lu boy was different.
Old man Ji has watched the boy grow up, but he could never read the boy. Just like his granddaughter, the two somehow seemed similar to each other.
He knows the oldest Lu boy may be cold and aloof, but the boy still has a heart. If he can marry his granddaughter to the Lu family, he would have less to worry about...
Although, he still needs to confirm his own suspicions. Inu may have given him the answer, but he still needs to hear from his granddaughter. Not only that, he needs to make sure that Lu Tian is really worthy of Yue Ling.
Because.... when the time comes and he has to leave this world... can he really trust and give his granddaughter’s hand to Lu Tian....
