People who often say sorry have the following possibilities.

First, passive-aggression.

Such people don't count as people.

Second, excessive politeness.

Such apologies initially feel okay, and you can sense the other person's friendliness, but if it's always like this, it creates a sense of alienation that's hard to approach.

The third type is someone like Xiao Shen.

A pitifully inferior wretch.

She apologizes softly to her mother, to her rehabilitation therapist, and to herself, every time she feels powerless and thinks she's causing trouble.

This is normal. Even if someone doesn't have a people-pleasing personality, they'll feel like the other person is at a disadvantage when they can't reciprocate with equal value. If they keep putting the other person at a disadvantage, they'll eventually become fearful due to the unequal sacrifices.

Chen Yuan once read a book called *Xu Sanguan Sells His Blood*. When he no longer needed to sell his blood to support his family, Xu Sanguan instead felt more of a sense of crisis. Due to the loss of his own significance, he placed himself in a marginalized position in the family structure.

Xiao Shen isn't that heavy. Her life isn't without a way out. She just subconsciously compares the value of the two people when she's with someone, and when she realizes that she's the one owing, she turns to 'pleasing' the other person.

This persona didn't just suddenly appear.

Looking back, Shen Xiao Ran was 'unceremonious' with him, not saying sorry all the time when they were equal.

And it was when she put on a 'stay away' face.

Worrying so much is just because she's worried that she, a little cripple, is too much trouble, that others will dislike her, and then leave her behind and run away.

Obviously, this is overthinking it.

I am a member.

The elderly and children go first, and I'll carry the little cripple on my back.

"My shoulder is sore."

Chen Yuan raised his left shoulder slightly, accepting it very openly.

Seeing this, Shen Xiao Ran quickly massaged Chen Yuan's shoulders, and even occasionally tapped his shoulders with her small fists, alternating the methods, just like Chihiro bathing the river spirit, it was quite something.

"My neck is sore."

"My back is sore."

"My stomach is sour…"

"Huh? How can your stomach be sour? Eat some omeprazole."

After being 'bossed around' by Chen Yuan for a while, Shen Xiao Ran realized that she was being teased.

But she wasn't angry.

There are some things she actually wants to say, but saying them would be like true moral blackmail, so she keeps them hidden in her heart.

Perhaps in her dreams, she can open her mouth more easily, using Cha Cha's tone, joking, and saying the most heartfelt truths – Immortal, when I have the ability, I will definitely worship you for the rest of my life.

Worship my ass...

Just don't show off my offerings.

Suddenly, Shen Xiao Ran noticed that Chen Yuan, who had turned his face away, was smiling again.

As if he was amused by something very ridiculous and innocent.

And this time, the commonality with the last time is that she had said some strange things in her heart both times.

Could it be that Chen Yuan...

"I live here."

"Here? Okay, then I'll pull over."

Ran Ma parked the Nissan on the shoulder of the road, and Chen Yuan got out of the car from the right side.

"Bye, Xiao Chen, I'll treat you to dinner this week, you must come!" Her mother said to him very enthusiastically, her tone full of sincerity.

Give me some face, don't always reject children and women like this.

"Okay, definitely."

Chen Yuan waved goodbye.

At this time, Shen Xiao Ran slowly climbed to the car window, and before the car started, she gave herself a heart with one hand, looking like a little goblin.

Then, the car drove away.

And Chen Yuan's slightly flustered heart also calmed down a bit.

Just now, he relaxed and was very comfortable with Xiao Shen's shoulder massage, so he listened to the voice and was amused by the 'stealing offerings' inner voice...

But he didn't expect that this chuuni brat was unexpectedly sharp!

She actually guessed in this direction.

Are you L or something?

If she knew about the existence of Chao Ye, would she be scared silly?

It can only be said that this little girl is too smart.

Of course, it's also related to the fact that he underestimated her too much. Thinking she was just a little kid, and unable to move, he exposed too much of his Chao Zi.

He has to be more steady.

Otherwise, this guy will ask him sooner or later: Brother Chen Yuan, what is Chao Zi? Can you take me to play Chao Zi together?

No way, Chao Zi is mine alone.

In order to avoid being tortured by Xiao Shen, the cautious Chen Yuan got out of the car in advance.

In reality, there were still two hundred meters to go to his apartment.

Forget it, this way he can blur his location, so that Xiao Shen, after her legs are healed, won't open his box and track him down in real life.

"Huh, Zhou Yu?"

Abruptly stopping, Chen Yuan fixed his gaze on the flower bed not far away.

A small yellow dog with delicate features was sitting there.

Feeling around in his pocket, Chen Yuan found a piece of old bread. This was given to him by Zhou Fu, but Chen Yuan's young master syndrome flared up. He only liked to eat soft little cakes and looked down on this commoner's coarse grain, so he hadn't eaten it yet.

Just kidding, he forgot to eat it.

Damn, he's been hungry for a long time.

Then, he'll eat the bread in front of Zhou Yu!

Just as he was about to sell this sword, he suddenly noticed that the little dog seemed a little listless, a little unable to muster any energy, even when he made the gesture of feeding it bread. So, he walked up to it: "Zhou Yu, are you okay?"

Holy shit.

Only after standing in front of it did he realize that the dog's leg was covered in blood, and the flesh was torn open.

It was run over by a car, but luckily, it should have been an electric bike. If it had been a car, half of its dog body would be gone.

"Want to eat something?" Chen Yuan held the bread in front of it. The dog opened its mouth with difficulty, but quickly lowered its head again. It was hungry, but it was too painful to eat.

Then, with tears in its eyes, it lowered its head and whimpered.

He should take it to a pet hospital, this was Chen Yuan's first thought.

But obviously, this was irrational. After paying the medical expenses with his living expenses, he would only be able to drink the northwest wind this month.

Moreover, it was stupid.

Idiot, I have Chao Ge.

"Zhou Yu, wait, I'll be right back, don't go."

Gently stroking the little yellow dog's head, Chen Yuan opened the bread and put it aside. Then, he went to a nearby pharmacy.

He remembered that there was a pharmacy here, just around the corner.

After walking for a minute, he quickly found it.

Fortunately, this is a good thing about China, there are pharmacies everywhere.

"What are you looking for?" the clerk aunt asked.

"Iodine, cotton swabs, tweezers, erythromycin ointment, gauze..." After saying these, Chen Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Yunnan Baiyao powder."

"Did someone get hurt?" Hearing this, the aunt asked as she helped him get the medicine.

"My friend."

"Oh, oh." The aunt quickly went to get the medicine, and after quickly printing the bill, she asked Chen Yuan to scan the code.

62 yuan.

Actually, other things were very cheap, even the only thing that looked like medicine, erythromycin ointment, wasn't expensive, only 10 yuan. And that bottle of Yunnan Baiyao, small as it was, actually cost 41.

Of course, it's still cheaper than going to a pet hospital.

Before leaving, Chen Yuan bought another bottle of saline solution at the pharmacy, and then hurried back to the flower bed.

The little dog was lowering its head, trying to bite the bread. Although it was very painful, it would die if it continued to starve, so it had to eat.

And when it saw Chen Yuan coming, it seemed to see a savior, and its eyes lit up.

Dogs are very understanding of human nature, and they also know that they are dogs. Having seen so much 'worldly wisdom', they naturally know how awesome humans are.

As long as it meets a good person, it can live.

"Good dog, good dog, bear with the pain, I'm coming." Chen Yuan put the plastic bag next to the dog, and then took out the saline solution and metal tweezers.

Seeing this, the dog trembled with fear, and even its tail trembled, as if it was frozen.

"Don't look, don't look, bear with it."

The first step was to stop the bleeding. But before stopping the bleeding, Chen Yuan had to clean the wound first, so he used tweezers to clip out some broken leaves, dirt, and fur from the everted flesh...

"Woo... woo woo..."

The dog started to whimper softly because of the pain, but it didn't struggle.

The second step, Chen Yuan opened the saline solution and poured it on.

"Woo... wah!"

The dog screamed in pain on the spot, and then bared its teeth at Chen Yuan. But quickly, it realized that although the other party wasn't the kind of white-coated divine doctor, and the technique was a bit rough, but the things were so complete, he should be a... barefoot dog doctor?

So, it immediately restrained its teeth.

"Open your mouth."

Chen Yuan opened the Yunnan Baiyao, took out a dark red insurance pill from inside, and then pointed at it, reminding it to open its mouth.

The dog thought it was going to hit its mouth, and immediately lowered its head, not daring to say anything.

No, I'm asking you to open your mouth, don't you understand human language?

Forget it, listen to its inner voice.

Chen Yuan activated Inner Voice.

Then--

[Woof woof woof... woof, woof... woof? Woof woof.]

I'm so stupid, really.

A dog's inner voice must be barking, what the hell am I thinking?

If all else fails, force it open.

But it might get stressed, so he thought about it, put the insurance pill in a piece of bread, and then handed it to the dog.

"..." The dog was stunned.

Just now, Chen Yuan put the medicine in the bread in front of it the whole time, without hiding it from the dog.

It probably felt that eating it like this would make it look like a stupid dog.

But considering that Chen Yuan was a barefoot dog doctor, he definitely wouldn't harm it, so after hesitating for a while, it still ate it.

Okay, you ate 39 yuan worth of the 41 yuan Yunnan Baiyao.

The most essential thing about Yunnan Baiyao is the insurance pill inside.

To put it this way, if you're about to die, and then you eat one of these, you can at least hold on until you delete all your chat history and browsing history.

Leave a clean name in the world!

Its hemostatic effect is especially strong, and it can also relieve pain.

This is why Chen Yuan specifically bought this thing.

If his actions can speed up the progress, then feeding this dog medicine, is it theoretically...

Yes, it is rewinding the progress.

From around 45, gradually recovering, 44, 43, 42... about ten minutes, it had already become 35.

And the blood from the wound had completely stopped.

The damage to this extent was only less than fifty percent, and like Shen Xiao Ran, whose lower body was almost all around ninety-five, was even more pitiful.

The dog also seemed to feel its improvement, and it wasn't in so much pain anymore. So, it looked at Chen Yuan with clear eyes, with no defense or vigilance, only 'woof woof, woof woof woof' of gratitude.

"Come on, Zhou Yu, bear with the pain."

Since it was already so affectionate, Chen Yuan was relieved. He dipped a cotton swab in iodine and disinfected the edges of the everted flesh...

[Woof woof... woof woof woof! Woof…. woof woof, woof.]

Crap, I forgot to listen to Inner Voice, this is really not padding the word count.

The dog was very painful, but because of that insurance pill, coupled with Chen Yuan's accelerated disinfection, and the use of erythromycin ointment to grow flesh, the damage to its wound was being rewound with high efficiency. At one point, it reached 23, almost turning light green.

Finally, Chen Yuan wrapped its wound with gauze.

After being bandaged, the dog stood up tremblingly, rubbing its black and yellow head against Chen Yuan's palm.

"Zhou Yu, your head is a bit greasy..."

Although Chen Yuan didn't want to touch it, this dog was really affectionate, and with its delicate features, even if it squinted its eyes and rubbed against him, it didn't look wretched or rogue-like.

This was not very similar to an old friend with the same name.

Then, I should go too.

When Chen Yuan picked up the remaining medicine, he suddenly sensed something, and then immediately turned his head to look.

Sure enough, he caught a little watermelon slice taking pictures!

Family members, who understands? Today, I was photographed doing good deeds by a shrimp-headed woman.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, I thought it was too loving, so I took a picture."

The short girl with a black backpack, jeans, and a white long-sleeved shirt quickly explained. Moreover, she proactively handed her phone to Chen Yuan, indicating that she hadn't done anything else besides this.

Chen Yuan took the phone and stared at it seriously for a while...

Then, he ran away.

"...Ah?!"

The girl realized that her phone had been snatched, so she quickly chased after him. Just as she was about to shout that her phone had been snatched, Chen Yuan suddenly stopped.

"The light is better here, it's not clear there... um, you really didn't take anything else, here you go."

"... " Shockedly taking the phone, the girl felt like an idiot.

But someone wanted her to become an idiot.

A boy who can apply medicine and bandage a dog is not the kind of person who snatches phones.

So, he just pretended to snatch the phone to scare her.

Why?

Because there weren't many people around just now, and he ran so fast, she was really scared!

*Le*. (T/N: Internet slang for fun/amusement)

Let you, little watermelon strip, take pictures of me, you were scared, right?

"Little sister, go home quickly, it's late," Chen Yuan said casually.

"What little sister... I'm older than you, I'm a college student!" Seeing that the other party was still wearing a high school uniform, and she was already a sophomore, she broke down on the spot.

"..."

Chen Yuan didn't want to comment. Aren't college girls supposed to be wearing *xiao ma* bodycon skirts?

That's what he sees on Douyin, how come this little thing is also a college student?

She does look alright, but the white long-sleeved shirt and jeans, plus a small backpack, what kind of exam-studying potato is she?

Even elementary school students are more fashionable than you.

"Can I post this online?" Pointing to the phone, the girl said, "I also saw this dog just now, so I bought it some ham sausage, and when I came back, I saw you treating its wound. I'm doing marketing... I have a self-media account, and some fans, and the things I usually post have a lot of traffic. I think this is very healing, and I also took some decent shots. If you agree, I can give you royalties."

"I can earn yuanzi?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.

"...You can, one or two hundred is possible. If it goes viral, there might be around five hundred yuan!" The girl said with a smile.

Once a marketing account gets going, it only takes advertisements, and it can earn a lot in a month, it's a very good track.

"Okay, then I'll take another look, to see if you took an ugly picture of me."

Chen Yuan reached out his hand, asking her for the phone.

"No, you look very handsome..." When giving the phone, the girl was inexplicably flustered, after all, he had a 'fun-loving person' past.

But still, she handed it over.

Chen Yuan took it, swiped it, and then returned it to the other party, turning off the screen.

"Can I add you as a contact? It's convenient to pay royalties," the girl asked.

"No need."

"Thank you."

The girl was very happy that the other party didn't even want royalties, and just watched this kind little brother walk away, and then opened her phone, thinking about what kind of appropriate song she should match to promote this video.

Then, she was shocked to find that the video just now...

Was deleted by that *nan*?! (T/N: derogatory term for men)

………

When watching the video for the second time, Chen Yuan noticed that, although not obvious, the flesh on the dog's body was healing in an irrational way.

I'm being a little reckless.

I always thought that my life should be a campus, parent-child, romance, and healing comedy theme.

But obviously, the original use of Chao Zi was as the golden finger of an urban male protagonist.

Today, I saved Zhou Yu and maintained the lighthearted daily melody of Chao Zi, but if it's exposed, in the eyes of others, it's the standard Dragon King Returns plot.

Therefore, delete.

Deleting from recently deleted, and deleting again.

Self-protection is necessary.

After returning home, it was already ten-thirty. Chen Yuan felt that Chao Ye was so awesome, in order not to waste its first week of strength, he should study English hard.

However, he currently wants to do another experiment.

The dream refresh has been reset.

The second week should become an active skill.

Just now, when she returned the phone and he received it, he didn't touch that watermelon strip, which means that the last person he touched was still Shen Xiao Ran.

Bring *English Compulsory 3*, and *Compulsory 2*.

Dream, activate--

Exhausted, Chen Yuan fell asleep in just over ten minutes.

Then, he saw a ball of light, fading little by little, right in front of him.

And he was standing in front of the light.

Could it be that after entering the dream becomes an active skill, he can choose to enter, or ignore it and continue sleeping?

That's reasonable too.

As the ball of light became fainter and fainter, and the end of the fading seemed to be disappearance. So, he touched it with his hand.

Then, he went to a scene.

The time was afternoon, the place was a park.

There was no one in the park.

Why would Xiao Shen have this kind of dream?

"Woo... Woof!"

Suddenly, Chen Yuan heard a bark.

Then slowly turning his head, he was shocked.

"Zhou Yu?!"

No, Chao Zi, you're being too respectful of the rules!

So from the beginning, the condition wasn't the last person you touched before going to sleep?

Rigorous.

But so rigorous that it's a bit outrageous!

Hearing its name being called, the dog immediately ran to Chen Yuan and circled around his feet, affectionately rubbing him with its tail and head.

"Zhou Yu?" Chen Yuan called uncertainly.

"Woof!" The little dog stood up straight, happily replying.

"Zhou Yu come play," Chen Yuan continued.

The little dog started to roll on the ground.

"He Si Jiao come play."

"...Woof?" The dog tilted its head in confusion, not understanding the command.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Today isn't a complete loss.

At least when he meets his classmates, he can perform an interesting program for them.

Without wasting any more time, Chen Yuan found a long chair, sat down, and began to memorize the remaining words from today's Compulsory 3.

And he was surprised to find that he could also increase his progress in his dreams!

Great, I was really worried about not having enough time.

With such a powerful Chao Ye, Chen Yuan didn't want to waste a single minute this week.

But at this time, Zhou Yu became disobedient, and walked over with a bag of Wallace in its mouth, put it at Chen Yuan's feet, and then put its hand on his knee, smiling with its big teeth and touching his leg, as if to say: You eat, eat～

Forgot, this is the dog's dream.

Zhou Yu is the master of the dream.

And it, because it has memories, wants to repay him, so it presented what it thought was the best thing.

Fortunately, the dog's favorite thing isn't shit.

"Take the trash back, don't litter."

Chen Yuan made a husky gesture, reminding the dog.

The dog didn't understand, but it understood the tone. So, carrying Wallace, it returned to the small trash pile next to the big trash can, and then dug a hole with its paws, a classic dog behavior.

Never mind, study.

Chen Yuan continued to memorize the words.

However, after only memorizing seven or eight, Zhou Yu suddenly reappeared in front of him.

Spitting something out, it slammed on the ground with a *paji*, and then stuck its tongue out at him.

Chen Yuan lowered his head and saw a thick gold bracelet lying at his feet...

"No, where the hell did you pick this up?!"
