Compared to Xiaohua, Lu Shi is truly unafraid.

When his mother held him over, his little hand even wanted to touch Ping’an’s big head.

Finally, Wen Xian placed the little guy on Ping’an’s back, and Ping’an stuck its tongue out, standing still and watching them with large, shiny eyes.

Little Lu Shi lay on its back, holding onto it, his chubby legs clamping in, while Xiaohua saw her brother playing so happily with the big fellow that she finally stopped crying, pouting her little mouth and extending her hand.

She seemed to also want to sit atop that majestic big fellow like her brother.

Ping’an saw her coming over, and its previously bold demeanor now turned incredibly obedient, standing still as it waited for her.

Little Niuniu seemed to understand that it truly wouldn’t harm her, gradually feeling at ease.

So five minutes later, such a scene unfolded.

Little Niuniu was lying on its back, grabbing one of its ears, trying to shove it in her mouth.

Lu Ping’an: "..."

Resignedly letting her tug at its ear, bullying it.

Finally, it was Lu Xiao who scooped her up, rescuing Ping’an, which immediately barked twice and dashed off to find Ga Zhuo.

This was the initial meeting for the new family member.

Lu Shi was naturally friendly with Ping’an, not afraid at all, while Little Niuniu Lu Cuihua was initially scared but later familiarized, seeing Ping’an wanting to bite its ear.

Causing Ping’an to tuck its tail and run whenever it saw her.

However, they wouldn’t know at this moment that the one-year-old shepherd dog before them would accompany them every day in the future, growing up together.

It’s their best friend and family.

And Ping’an in this family is not just the strongest "bodyguard" but also feels too much love from the little owners.

Although Xiaohua usually loves to bully her brother and Ping’an, she has her principles.

For example, on a certain day three years later, they moved into a villa, and the neighbors raised a dog. Ping’an often barked at the neighbor’s shar-pei across a fence.

As Ping’an’s little owner, how could Xiaohua let their Ping’an lose!

So she directly dropped the remote-controlled toy plane, ran to Ping’an’s side, and alongside it barked at the neighbor’s shar-pei — woof woof woof! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

With teeth bared and claws stretched, the shar-pei on the other side looked bewildered.

Eventually, it barked a few times symbolically and then retreated sheepishly.

What the heck, how is there external aid here?

...

During this journey of growth, there will be too many joys and sorrows, with sadness and happiness, and Ping’an will accompany them throughout, until it reaches the end of its life.

But among these experiences, Ping’an’s most commendable role is not companionship, but its primary duty — protection.

Because shortly after it arrived in Beijing, shortly after it came to them, an important event occurred, impacting Xiaohua’s life.

During that period, Wen Yu had just started school and was busy with things, so Wen Xian, as his sister, sent him to school, handling various necessary tasks for him.

Meanwhile, the two little ones were taken care of by Lu’s mom.

In truth, Lu Xiao hired two nannies at home to take care of the children. After all, both he and Wen Xian had their own work and careers, while Lu’s mom came —
