You always knew how much he loved dogs. Loyal, devoted, and obedient, these active balls of fur always attracted the gaze of others - and especially the gaze of your beloved gray eyes.

The way Jiang Cheng softened when he saw a dog running past you; the way the sect leader, so stern and strict, played with his nephew's pet; the way he quietly became sad when he saw a child playing with a puppy.

You knew why he didn't have a pet with such a passionate love for dogs. And again, the reason for his sadness was Wei Wuxian. But he doesn't live in Lotus Pier anymore, right? He's in Cloud Recesses, and rarely comes to Yunmeng - he and Jiang Cheng have finally started to mend fences.

And you finally decided to make your eternally gloomy sect leader Yunmeng Jiang happy.

Jiang Wanyin frowns with displeasure, but keeps his eyes closed.

"What are you thinking of again?" he automatically crosses his arms over his chest, but you grab his wrist.

He shudders, feeling first the soft fur with his fingers, and then the wet, rough tongue. Bark.

"You.." Jiang Cheng's eyes widen - you're holding a puppy in your arms. A cute one, with beady eyes - like something out of his most cherished dream.
