Ironclad, died and resurrected, I've decided to go to the mic!

Xing tilted her head and said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"Isn't this an easy task? Don't you understand, March?"

On March 7th, look at Qiye, who is still barking at Peipei in the distance.

Looking at Xing's serious face again, her eyes began to look confused.

She listened intently for a while.

From the other side came a series of urgent "woof woof woof woof" sounds from Qi Ye.

Pepe immediately responded with a string of even more urgent "woof woof woof".

She tried hard to distinguish them, and there did seem to be a slight difference.

The call of the Night-blooming Jade is relatively deep, while the call of the Pepe is relatively soft.

But isn't that still a dog barking?

You mean,

He spoke uncertainly on March 7th.

"Can you tell who's winning by the rhythm of the dogs' barks?"

"certainly."

Xing looked confident

On March 7th, his expression began to become dazed.

She suddenly felt like she might have missed some common sense.

Is it really possible for a normal person to glean so much information from a dog's bark?

Is she the abnormal one?

She glanced at Dan Heng secretly; Dan Heng had opened his eyes at some point.

They were watching the standoff between a man and a dog in the corridor.

His lips were twitching.

"Danheng,"

Asked quietly on March 7th.

"Can you understand me?"

Dan Heng remained silent for a few seconds, then quietly turned his head to the other side.

Just as March 7th was about to continue questioning Xing, a confused voice suddenly came from the other end of the corridor.

"Pepe?"

Estelle appeared at the corner of the corridor at some point.

She looked at the scene before her.

Qi Ye placed her hands on her knees, bent over, and barked loudly at her pet dog.

Pepe wasn't going to be outdone. She lay on her two front legs, her tail held high, and kept barking.

The man and the dog were arguing fiercely, the scene as intense as the annual shareholders' meeting of the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

Estelle stood still, blinked, and took a few seconds to make sure she hadn't gone to the wrong floor.

She quickly walked over, bent down, picked Peipei up from the ground, held her in her arms, and patted her head.

"Peipei, don't be rude to people. They are guests."

Peipei squirmed twice in her arms, then called out pitifully towards Qiye:

"Woof woof!" (He blocked my way first! And he even stole my necklace!)

Estella, of course, couldn't understand, but she rubbed its ears again.

Then she looked up at Qiye, her face still bearing that puzzled smile:

"Mr. Qiye, what were you playing with Peipei just now?"

Just as Qiye was getting into the middle of arguing, Estádio interrupted her, and her brain hadn't yet switched back from dog-talking mode.

He straightened up, and without thinking, blurted out:

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof!" (Of course, I'm trying to reason with it! This dog insulted me first!)

The air fell silent for a moment.

A look of confusion appeared in Estella's eyes.

Peipei's tail stood straight up in my arms.

In all its long life, this was the first time it had ever seen a human dare to continue pretending to be a dog in front of the stationmaster.

Qiye's mouth was still open, but her brain finally began to reboot.

He looked at Estelle's confused face, then looked around.

March 7th's lips twitched, Xing's scrutinizing gaze, and Peipei's tail held high, looking on with anticipation.

And the string of dog barks that had just come out of my mouth.

He silently closed his eyes.

"...I can explain."

Estelle held Pepe in her arms, a gentle smile on her face.

"Okay. Go ahead and say it."

Qi Ye took a deep breath and pointed to the necklace that was still dangling in Pei Pei's mouth.

To say it in a tone that seems to place all one's hopes on this statement:

"The whole thing started with this necklace."

I'm trying to stop Peipei from taking your valuables.

Estelle looked down at the necklace in Pepe's mouth, exclaimed "Ah!", and took the necklace out of Pepe's mouth.

Peipei whimpered in dissatisfaction, but quieted down after having her head rubbed a couple of times.

Estella looked at the necklace in her hand and suddenly burst out laughing.

She looked up at Qiye and shook the pendant on her necklace.

The deep blue gemstone refracted a dazzling light under the lamp.

"This necklace is Pepe's toy."

The space station's jewelry crafts department had previously made several gemstone samples.

They were all fitted with tracking chips embedded in the space station, originally intended for the crew to test the positioning system.

Peipei thought the sparkly thing was fun, so she strung it together to use as a chew toy.

Seeing Qi Ye's increasingly stiff expression, she pointed to the bottom of the pendant.

"Look, Pepe's name is here too. It was carved with teeth."

On the base of the pendant, two small letters are crookedly engraved: PP.

In Estella's arms, Pepe proudly raised her head.

Qiye looked at the gemstone engraved with "PP".

I feel that my life has reached some indescribable peak at this moment.

The pinnacle of embarrassment.

He actually argued with a white puppy for a full three minutes over a dog toy.

They barked like dogs and still lost the argument.

His eyes lost focus, and he stood motionless like a statue whose soul had been emptied.

Just then, Estelle pulled two cards out of her pocket.

One was handed to Qiye, and another was waved to Chaoxing.

"This is the agreed-upon compensation."

Lady Black Tower had given specific instructions.

"Mr. Qiye's portion should be a little larger; she said it's a tip for the host."

When Estella said the word "master," the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

But she quickly regained her professional smile.

"Each of the two cards has 20 million credit points, and taxes have already been deducted."

Qi Ye's pupils refocused.

thump.

On March 7th, she almost dropped her camera; the scene captured by the lens left her completely stunned.

Qi Ye knelt down on both knees and held the credit card in her hands.

He looked up at Estella, his eyes shining.

"Rich woman! Looking for a sugar daddy!!"

Xing reacted faster than him.

Before the last syllable of the word "rich woman" had even finished uttering.

A gray figure had already cut in from the side, her movements as fluid as when she swung a bat on the battlefield.

She glided to a precise stop in front of Estelle, her arms outstretched.

He hugged Estelle's leg tightly, tilted his head back, and gave her a bright, radiant smile.

"Rich woman! I don't want to work hard anymore!"

Estella was caught off guard by this sudden double blow.

She looked down at the star hanging on her lap, then looked up at Qi Ye kneeling on the ground, her face slightly flushed.

"Don't be like this... Let's talk this out. You deserve the compensation."

Seeing that Xi Ye had preemptively latched onto a powerful figure, alarm bells immediately went off in her mind.

When it comes to currying favor with powerful figures, how could he possibly lose to a girl who had only recently lost her memory?

He immediately sprang to his feet, rushed forward, and grabbed Estelle's other leg without hesitation.

"Rich woman!! I asked her to be my sugar daddy first!! She cut in line!!"

"Being a sugar daddy/sugar baby doesn't discriminate based on first come, first served!"

Xing pressed her face against Estella's leg and wouldn't let go.

"Besides, you just lost an argument with a dog, which is a stain on your record."

"That was my carelessness! It doesn't count!"

"Carelessness is no excuse. A rich woman won't keep an idiot who can't even win an argument."

Estella was dangling on the laps of two people, frozen in place, her face flushed red from her cheeks to her ears.

She didn't know what to do with one hand.

In the end, he could only gently pat Xing's head and then Qi Ye's shoulder, and said helplessly:

"You two... have such a good relationship."
