454: Afraid of Cats and Dogs

Afraid of Cats and Dogs

When Honey and Asura ran towards her, Xia Xibei clearly heard someone draw a sharp breath at her side. 0

She turned and saw Wan Shicheng staring at the fast-approaching Honey and Asura, his eyes wide with horror. 

That was when Xia Xibei remembered something. 

Wan Shicheng disliked cats because he was allergic to cat fur. He would start sneezing uncontrollably, and rashes would appear all over his skin when cats were around him. It would give him a very hard time. 

As for dogs, he seemed to have been bitten when he was young, which left him a little traumatized. 

Thus, he would never allow any cats and dogs to be within his view. 

Not many people knew this, as it wasn't like he would go around telling people about his phobias. 

Xia Xibei got to know it from her past life. 

As she saw how Wan Shicheng became all tensed up and horrified, Xia Xibei couldn't help but laugh. 

Then she whistled. 

"Whoof!" 

Asura and Honey received the signal right away. Their paws, which were originally headed for Xia Xibei, took a swerve and charged towards Wan Shicheng instead. 

Wan Shicheng's eyes were filled with dread. He wanted to run away, but his feet just couldn't seem to budge. 

Thus, he had no choice but to watch the cat and the dog dashing towards him, like two furry balls of excitement. 

"Go away!" Xia Qinghan shrieked, as she was frightened too. 

What if they bit her?! 

Asura pounced onto Wan Shicheng's feet merrily and stuck its tongue out at him in a welcoming manner. 

Honey held on to the bottom of his trousers and meowed at him. 

Ren Ningning and the others were speechless.

What the hell?! 

How was Wan Shicheng so popular among cats and dogs? 

No one knew that Wan Shicheng was, in fact, frozen with terror. 

When he finally came to his senses, he couldn't help but scream in horror, "Get the hell off me!" 

His scream was so loud and strident that it sounded even higher pitched than a soprano, piercing through the clouds above. He seemed like a pathetic victim that had been trampled on, screaming his lungs out. 

Ren Ningning and the others didn't know what to do. They were all startled by Wan Shicheng's reaction. 

Damn, that voice was unbelievable! 

"Honey, Asura, come back here!" 

Honey and Asura immediately ditched Wan Shicheng and pounced onto Xia Xibei right as she spoke, joyfully running in circles around her. 

"Whoof! Whoof! Whoof!" 

What a cowardly idiot. 

"Meow!" 

That wasn't fun at all. 

No one knew what Honey and Asura meant, but they had a vague feeling that Xia Xibei was somehow the reason that Honey and Asura had been so cordial towards Wan Shicheng. 

They weren't sure of it though; the feeling was too intangible. 

Moreover, Xia Xibei wasn't even close with Wan Shicheng. Why would she treat him that way? 

Xia Qinghan noticed the problem too. Angrily, she pointed a finger at Xia Xibei and yelled, "Xia Xibei, what's the matter with you?!" 

Xia Xibei put on an innocent look, asking, "What did I do?" 

"Why did you make them frighten Brother Shicheng?!" 

Xia Xibei frowned, "What are you talking about? I made them frighten him? Don't simply accuse me!" 

"Yeah!" Song Jiaren stepped forward instantly. "Who are you kidding?! Do you even have proof?" 

"Who would have known that he's afraid of cats and dogs!" Ren Ningning shot a contemptuous glance at Wan Shicheng. 

"How can a man be such a scaredy cat…" Song Jiaren shook her head scornfully, her face full of disdain. 

"Jiajia, don't say that. Phobia of animals has nothing to do with gender," Tang Luo told her off gently. 

"I know," Song Jiaren nodded, "But this is the first time I saw such an exaggerated reaction! What a waste of that hunky build." 

The three of them sang to each other's tune, nearly driving Xia Qinghan insane. 

"Qinghan!" 

Wan Shicheng called out to Xia Qinghan, a petrified look on his face. Before he could say another word, however, he started sneezing like crazy.
