After Rebirth I Became Spoiled
Chapter 16
Although Heizi wanted to stay by Su Meng’s side, he obviously had to obey the master’s orders. Upon hearing the command, it obediently twisted it’s butt and returned to Jiang Tingzhou’s side step by step.
Just as Su Meng breathed a sigh of relief, a question came in her ear, “Do you know me?”
Did he realize that she knew Jiang Tingzhou? She shook her head hurriedly, and lowered her eyes, “I don’t know you.”
It could be Jiang Tingzhou’s illusion. He felt that the little girl in front of him didn’t want to deal with him at all, and wanted to stay away from him. That was a strange thing.
Jiang Tingzhou touched his chin, and looked at her face tentatively and with interest, “I am Jiang Tingzhou.”
Su Meng lowered her eyes and gave a dry hum. She remembered what Grandma Zhang said in the car yesterday. She said, ‘Did the child of the Jiang family come back?’ At that time, she didn’t know who Grandma Zhang was talking about. It was Jiang Tingzhou.
Combined with what she learned about Jiang Tingzhou’s personality, it was not strange that he was dropped out of school although he was young. Fearing that Jiang Tingzhou would ask her name, Su Meng said hurriedly, “I’m going to find Trooper.”
“Trooper? What?”
“It’s the golden retriever I lost.”
Jiang Tingzhou looked astonished, and smiled, “A dog is called Trooper?” When he said that, he paused and looked down at his pet dog, like a joke. He said, “Heizi, how about I change your name to Cannon?” He also added an accent to the name.
Heizi barked twice and looked at Jiang Tingzhou innocently with wet eyes. No one knew whether he was willing or unwilling to change his name.
At that time, a soldier in military uniform walked straight towards them with a golden retriever in his hand. Su Meng recognized him from a distance as theTrooper. She rushed to the soldier, “This is my lost dog.”
The soldier looked a little shy. He smiled, “I know, I saw you holding him earlier.” He said, as he passed the rope to Su Meng.
“Thank you,” Su Meng just wanted to reach out and take it, but at that time someone took the rope faster than her.
Su Meng let out a strange cry, it was… Jiang Tingzhou, who took the initiative to hold the golden retriever’s rope, looked at her lazily, “You don’t want your hands to hurt anymore?”
Jiang Tingzhou’s peach blossom eyes were very charming, especially when he was casual and slightly gazed at her. Su Meng bit her lower lip and her eyes widened in surprise.
When he was young, Jiang Tingzhou didn’t seem to be as bad as he would be in future. At least, he actually remembered her hand being injured. Jiang Tingzhou turned his head and asked the soldier on the side, “Do you know who owns this dog?” He knew that he couldn’t get any results from Su Meng, so he asked the soldier directly.
This soldier knew him. Although Jiang Tingzhou had left the colony a few years ago, he still left his legendary stories behind in the compound. Combined with Jiang Tingzhou’s outstanding looks, which was really easy to recognize.
The soldier glanced at Su Meng and couldn’t see any expression on her confused face. Then he said to Jiang Tingzhou, “It’s from the Ling family.”
“Old Ling…” After Jiang Tingzhou repeated it softly, he remembered something new that was spreading in the colony recently. That new thing had spread at a crazy speed. The neighbors had no secrets between each other. So that new news immediately became known to everyone.
He knew it even if he just returned a few days ago. That Ling family had adopted a child from the Sichuan earthquake zone.
So, the child who was in talks among countless people was the one standing next to him now. Jiang Tingzhou got the information he wanted. He stopped talking. He held the golden retriever in his left hand, his dog on the right, and walked forward.
The Golden Retriever was in Jiang Tingzhou’s hands, and Su Meng had no choice but to follow him. After walking for a while, Su Meng realized that Ling’s house was not far away. He took her home. At the door of Ling house, Su Meng took the Golden Retriever rope from Jiang Tingzhou, looked down at his toes, and said softly, “Thank you, goodbye.”
Su Meng used an official tone, which was polite, but also alienated, with a deliberate sense of distance. But even with the official words, the soft and childish voice still reminded people of sweet, soft, colorful cotton candy. Jiang Tingzhou narrowed his eyes, and the black studs on his ears refracted in the dazzling light from the sun. The light was too dazzling and blocked the light to her eyes.
He asked, “Are you afraid of me?”
That was the second time Jiang Tingzhou asked that question that day. The first time was after his dog frightened her. Su Meng didn’t answer when he asked the first time. Since he asked the second time now, she would answer him.
Anyway, at the age of eighteen, Jiang Tingzhou didn’t look dangerous. And after she answered, he should know what she thought of him. From then on, even if the road ahead was heading towards heaven, it would be best if they both ignored each other.
Thinking about that, Su Meng answered honestly, “Yes.”
Jiang Tingzhou asked playfully, “Why?”
“Because you look super fierce, like a fierce monster.”
When the words were spoken, not only Jiang Tingzhou was stunned, but Su Meng herself was stunned! What was happening! Although she had thought of things like, ” fierce monster and weird”, she never said such words to someone.
She was a tough girl and she really couldn’t say such rash words. But now, she actually said them! And in front of Jiang Tingzhou!

Peach blossom eyes” are practically the synonym for “sexy” in Chinese. It is supposed to look like “peach flower petal” when not smiling, with a greater curvature of the upper lid and a deeper inner corner of the eye usually characterized by a slight pinkish tinge around the eye itself. They also have long eyelashes.
When smiling it becomes beautiful moon-shaped crescents.
