An extraordinary life journey through old Beijing courtyard houses

Although he was quite apprehensive, fortunately Liu Ling'er did not make any further moves, and Jiang Baobin was unwilling to give up just like that.

So he forced himself to say, "Your service is terrible! At least tie it up for me, otherwise how am I supposed to carry it? It's such a long way."

Liu Ling'er pursed her lips tightly, her little fists clenched.

But in the end, he managed to hold back and went inside.

Jiang Baobin let out a long sigh of relief, patting his sunken chest repeatedly to calm his nerves.

He had already sensed it; Liu Ling'er's rampage was imminent.

The reason she didn't retaliate in the end was probably because she was worried that it was her home and the impact would be too bad.

"What does this mean? Are they going to do it or not?" Jiang Baobin muttered to himself.

This guy has been here for over a month and seems to have caught the habit of being a chatterbox.

I'm unsure whether to stay or leave.

Liu Ling'er came out again, angrily threw a piece of straw rope onto the fire rope, and ignored him.

Jiang Baobin pursed his lips, thinking to himself: good looks are everything.

The reason the Liu family was able to keep their matchmaking business going was entirely due to this.

I wonder how many people are like me, who came specifically to buy this just to see her.

Actually, he was wrong. These days, not many people are as thick-skinned as him.

They've already been beaten up, but they're still sticking to the other person like glue.

Regardless, Jiang Baobin believed he had found a breakthrough to get close to Liu Ling'er, so he was in a very good mood.

"Hey girl across the street, look over here, look over here, look over here..."

While whimpering, the dog tied the fire rope tightly and draped it over the dog's back.

Four-Eyes obediently carried him on his back.

On the way back, overjoyed, Jiang Baobin bought several bones to reward his meritorious servant.

These days, bones are extremely cheap, but they're shaved way too clean.

It'll have to do. I'll break it up and make soup, and then it'll be good for the dog to chew on.

"Third Brother, where have you been? Why are you only just getting back?"

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Jiang Daya began to complain.

The Gao sisters also felt resentful.

Clearly, they were getting impatient for Four-Eyes, their new toy.

"Brother, why did you make Four-Eyes carry all that stuff? It's so tiring!" Jiang Daya complained again.

Jiang Baobin knew all too well that they only had a short attention span.

However, to avoid further nagging, he quickly picked up the straw braid and the big bone stick.

"Third Brother, how about we change Four-Eyes' name? It's clearly a female, calling it Four-Eyes sounds awful!"

Jiang Baobin wisely chose to remain silent in the face of the young girl's overflowing compassion.

They walked around them and entered through the moon gate.

Four-Eyes looked at him with resentment: Why did you leave me behind? I don't want to be with "ducks" either.

Jiang Baobin: Nonsense, if you don't take the blame for your master, who will?

Four-Eyes: You're such a dog!

The best way to deal with a woman is: she can say what she wants, and you can do what you want.

Jiang Baobin didn't respond, and the women started discussing the dog amongst themselves.

Gao Yueyuan: "You can't easily change a dog's name, otherwise it won't know it's calling itself."

Jiang Daya asked, "Really?"

"That's what all dog owners say."

"If we change the name, won't we get used to calling it that after a while?"

"Uh, I don't know, you can ask your brother..."

Jiang Baobin got up at dawn the next day.

They took the four-eyed boy and ran all the way to the "West Sea".

I guess I had the bones from last night, and someone to play with.

The dog temporarily forgot its troubles and started running around happily, which was rare for it.

Actually, it's already seven or eight years old, making it an old dog.

This was also the main reason why the Zhou family gave it away—to find a good family for it to live out its days in comfort.

The dog dealer Huang Er was interested in it because of its large frame and good fur.

Even those who aren't particularly knowledgeable about the industry will definitely place bets on it.

This makes it a disposable consumer product.

For the casino's bookmakers, spending thirty dollars to dig a huge hole for a group of gamblers is simply too good to pass up.

That's why it's said that nine out of ten gamblers lose; never get involved, as life is full of traps.

Fortunately, Four-Eyes was clever and saw through Huang Er's treacherous scheme.

Otherwise, he would probably be locked in a cage in the arena by now.

If you lose, you're out of a job; even if you win, you'll be crippled and end up as food in a dog meat restaurant.

When they arrived at the usual spot, Jiang Baobin placed Four-Eyes on Liu Ling'er's usual route and made it sit obediently.

He then ran to a distance to stretch his body.

Four-Eyes was a little confused and tilted his head to look at him.

When it was about time, Jiang Baobin began to practice standing meditation, but his eyes were fixed on the direction of Si Yan'er.

Although his hearing is quite good, it's still far inferior to that of a dog.

As expected, Four-Eyes suddenly turned his head to look southeast.

In the shadows, Liu Ling'er arrived.

She didn't notice Jiang Baobin pretending to be serious in the distance, but instead became affectionate with the dog.

It just goes to show that there aren't many girls who don't like kittens and puppies.

"What are you doing here?" Liu Ling'er asked, a rare smile on her face, as she stroked the dog's head.

Four-Eyes understood and turned to look at Jiang Baobin in the dim light.

Liu Ling'er then noticed the figure in the distance, and her face immediately fell.

Even from a great distance, Jiang Baobin could still feel the air instantly condense into frost!

I won't look, I won't look. If you don't exist, what can you do to me?

Liu Ling'er couldn't do anything to him. She couldn't just beat him up because someone came to exercise, could she?

Wouldn't that make me a villain like Gu Huaiwen?

But Jiang Baobin's true intentions are obvious.

With a "whoosh," the girl drew her sword and swung it in someone's direction.

Then, in the faint morning light, he began to practice on his own.

Jiang Baobin was sensible and didn't dare to approach her all morning.

Because he could sense that Liu Ling'er was holding back her energy, just waiting for him to come over.

Moreover, this repair will definitely be even more severe than the last one!

Hehe, I won't give you the chance, you hothead!

Jiang Baobin only stopped fighting after Liu Ling'er left.

Call the bespectacled boy home.

This dog is really obedient; it just sat in the spot Jiang Baobin specified.

He glanced at Jiang Baobin, who was acting all high and mighty like a duck, and then at Liu Ling'er, who was fluttering like a butterfly.

Jiang Baobin patted its head and muttered, "Good dog! Well done, I'll buy you a bone later."

"Let me tell you, being able to work with me is a blessing you've accumulated over three lifetimes."

"If you behave well, and you can find a way to get me to date Ling'er, then it won't be a matter of gnawing on bones anymore."

"I promise you'll eat meat at every meal, how about that? Are you confident?"

Feeling that this guy was unreliable, Four-Eyes kept his head down and walked away, ignoring him.

Jiang Baobin clicked his tongue – Does the dog not think highly of me?

Why doesn't my irresistible charm work after I time-traveled?

depressed!

These days, there are quite a few people who get up early to exercise, and of course, some also walk their dogs.

Just as they were about to leave the open space, a large dog came running over.

It wagged its tail wildly at Four-Eyes and always tried to run up behind it to sniff.

Jiang Baobin was a little annoyed—what are you doing? I just brought her home, and you're already trying to take advantage of me…
