A/N: Bàtiān (霸天)- means insolent tyrant
Bum-rush- means to attack/seize with an overpowering rush
I think Qilu’s dog is aptly named after his master’s personality .
An Chuxia can’t help but sigh at Han Qilu’s high-handedness . “Well… okay . I won’t ask, young master . ”
She mouths a ‘wow’ at steward Han, and like the old man, she bows to Qilu . Satisfied, the young master turns away .
As soon as he’s far from earshot and line of sight, Chuxia chortles . “I won’t call him . I’ll just ask him in class tomorrow . ”
Steward Han laughs heartily . He laughs so hard, the smile lines on his face are evident .
Since dinner is announced, she heads toward the dining hall . A shadow rushes her . At first, she thinks it’s Aunt Jiang Yuan . But then, she’s bum-rushed and pushed to the ground .
But why is the shadow licking her face?
She opens her eyes slowly . She wasn’t afraid until she realizes it wasn’t Jiang Yuan hugging her but a giant black Tibetan mastiff! Warm saliva covers her face .
“Mama!” she cries out .
“Oh, my xiao Xia actually called me mama! Han Qilu, you need to get married tomorrow . ” Jiang Yuan’s voice carries excitedly from the kitchen .
Half lying on the sofa, Qilu looks up impatiently . “Ma, we haven’t grown that close . Besides, who said she called you mother? Come out and see!”
Upon hearing Qilu, Jiang Yuan runs out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand . She sees Chuxia being kissed again and again by the giant Tibetan mastiff .
“Help! Save… ,” Chuxia begs helplessly, as she tries blocking her face .
“Bastard! Let go of my An Chuxia quickly!” Jiang Yuan is ready to use the spatula on the dog when Qilu suddenly interferes and stops her .
“Help… save… I… !” An Chuxia helplessly hinders the dog from licking her .
“You’re going to use this to kill my Batian?” Han Qilu looks at his mother woefully . “Go back to your kitchen and leave this to me . ”
“The kitchen! Yes… my food!!! Xiao Xia, remember mama tried to save you!” She takes off with her spatula . An Chuxia is left in tears .
Relief courses through Qilu but he suddenly laughs coldly when he watches Batian throw himself at Chuxia .
As he walks toward An Chuxia, he says, “Batian, you seem too friendly with her!” His cold voice shocks the mastiff . He releases An Chuxia as soon as Qilu approaches .
He finds it odd Batian is friendly with her . He’s usually indifferent when it comes to strangers . He also bites when he doesn’t like what he sees, or if there’s shouting involved . He remembers when Jiang Yuan sent the dog to training . He used to not bother spiders . Now, he’s protective and fierce .
An Chuxia is scared to get up from the ground despite the dog leaving her . She suddenly scurries backwards . Batian notices her move and thinks they’re playing a game . But in her mind, she is transported back to the past… .
