Chapter 727: Chapter 727: Irritable Duoduo

A Min tilted her head slightly and asked, "Will there be good food if I get selected?"

"..."

It’s food again!

Lu Hua’s lips twitched slightly, and he finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "A Min, can’t you have some other pursuits?"

A Min looked at him quietly, responding with silence.

After spending the past few days together, Lu Qing had grown accustomed to her attitude. He patiently asked, "Have you been abused by someone? Why do you always talk about eating?"

This time, A Min nodded at him.

However, her nod didn’t reveal her true intentions to Lu Qing—was it because she had no other pursuits or because she had been abused?

His expression changed slightly: "Abused?"

A Min shook her head.

Lu Qing: "No other pursuits?"

A Min nodded.

"Interested only in food?"

This time, A Min nodded quickly.

She graciously spoke: "I’ve been starved."

"When was that, and for how long?" Lu Qing asked.

This time, A Min remained silent.

She constantly remembered what the doctor had told her—not to trust anyone.

On the boat coming to Beijing, within a week, she had nothing but rainwater to drink. When she was extremely hungry, she had the chance to eat raw fish, but nothing else.

During that week on the water, she never realized how essential food was to humans.

Food held a great allure for her.

She had no parents, was all alone, with no memory other than being called A Min, except for the doctor.

The doctor was the closest person to her, the only family she had in her memories.

The doctor always took care of her but never taught her survival skills.

The memories of dead corpses, the pungent smell of blood, the fierce gunshots, and explosions brought her everlasting pain.

The doctor’s death made her feel abandoned by the world.

Except for the doctor, she didn’t trust anyone.

She wouldn’t reveal anything about herself to anyone.

Lu Qing asked for a long time but couldn’t find out anything. He sighed helplessly.

Since he met A Min, he had been trying to get information about her background, but to no avail.

"Familiarize yourself with the script dialogue again. I’ll bring clothes for you when I come the day after tomorrow, and we’ll go to the company for contract signing and auditioning."

"Uh-huh—"

A Min rarely responded.

Lu Qing left, and the small dorm room only had A Min remaining.

She picked up the script with only audition conversations again, looking through it carefully.

It seemed she found some other interests besides eating.

...

That evening.

Gu Jin returned home from the company, standing at the door, she kicked off her high heels and changed into comfortable house shoes.

She had just put on one shoe when a huge white creature rushed towards her.

"Ow-woo!"

Duoduo’s body had grown to around 1.7 meters; a full-on wolf pounce would completely knock Gu Jin down.

Gu Jin put on the other house shoe and reached out to pat Duoduo.

"Were you good today?"

Lately, Duoduo entered another mating period.

Last year, Jacob brought his female wolf to pair with Duoduo to ease its restlessness.

Unfortunately, Duoduo rejected the female wolf’s approach, even fiercely injuring her.

Duoduo wouldn’t accept other wolves getting close, so Gu Jin could only give him the medicine she developed to relieve his agitation.

Although the medicine can suppress Duoduo’s irritability, long-term suppression would inevitably lead to an eventual outbreak; some things couldn’t be perpetually repressed.

"Ow-woo!"

Duoduo rubbed against Gu Jin’s side and called out to her, seemingly responding to her earlier question.

"Good boy—" Gu Jin praised him, then walked towards the living room.

Kasi just happened to walk out from the dining room: "Miss Gu, you’re back."
