Qin Ke Xuan returned home, only to see Qin Peng Cheng sitting along on the sofa watching the television.

She had originally intended to slip soundlessly back into her room. Qin Ke Xuan's inadvertent gaze at the television, however, quickly resulted in her being attracted to the scene with the strange people who did not look like people on the screen. Hence, she stood behind the sofa and watched quietly.

It was only when the music sounded and the scene changed did Qin Ke Xuan point at the television enthusiastically, asking Qin Peng Cheng: "Do you have any more of that?"

Qin Peng Cheng didn't realise that Qin Ke Xuan had returned at all, hence the sudden voice from behind, on top of just finishing watching Detective Conan's murder case, gave him a huge scare, "Ahh! When did come back, why didn't you make any noise? Do you want me to die of a heart attack?!"

"What was that just now?" Qin Ke Xuan asked.

Qin Peng Cheng said impatiently: "Conan! Detective Conan! How can you not know that, are you sure you're from Earth?" He actually got that right, Qin Ke Xuan wasn't from this world!

Qin Ke Xuan said: "I want to watch more."

"It ended! If you want to watch, go watch it on the net!"

"You do it."

"Why should I listen to you?!" Qin Peng Cheng glared at her ferociously.

Qin Ke Xuan did not haggle with the immature kid. She looked at him indifferently and returned to her room.

Qin Peng Cheng called after her: "Oi! Mummy and daddy are not coming back tonight. You prepare dinner."

Already on the stairs, Qin Ke Xuan stopped, and turned around. "Why should I listen to you?" After saying that, she turned and went into her room.

Qin Peng Cheng widened his eyes in shock, shouting: "Hateful woman! You want to starve me to death?! I'll tell daddy! You just wait and see!"

Qin Ke Xuan closed the door, locking Qin Peng Cheng's noisy screams outside. She placed her school bag on the floor and proceeded to jump from her balcony over to Yin Xu Dong's balcony. She pushed the door, entering. Yin Xu Dong wasn't there.

Qin Ke Xuan opened the bedroom door and walked out, only to hear a flustered and exasperated voice, "You damned dog! I'm gonna slaughter you!"

She went down to the first floor and saw Yin Xu Dong grabbing a piece of cloth. A golden yellow little dog bit the other end of the cloth. The pair of them, a guy and a dog, were pulling from both at it from own sides.

"What are you doing?"

Upon hearing Qin Ke Xin's voice, Yin Xu Dong got a scare, before shouting, all riled up: "Qin Ke Xuan, hurry bring your dog home!"

The dog, however, suddenly released the end it had been clenching tightly onto and scuttled over to Qin Ke Xuan's side, yapping excitedly and wagging its tail in circles non-stop. It even stuck out its tongue and licked her ankle.

The moist and slimy feel almost made Qin Ke Xuan kick out her leg involuntarily, but when she looked down and saw the pair of watery dog eyes, she restrained herself and resorted to only pushing the dog away gently.

"Give it to him." Qin Ke Xuan glanced at the cloth Yin Xu Dong was holding in his hand.

Yin Xu Dong's face scorched, half mad, and half embarrassed. That was his underwear! Underwear! "Why should I give it to him?"

"Mmh?"

"...I know, I'll listen to your commands, but, but can I change this? This is my underwear!"
