While the couple enjoyed dinner with their subordinates and the Liu siblings, in another part of Imperial, a little white fur ball was curled in his comfy warm bed.
Inu laid down on his stomach with his head resting on his paws. He stares at the opened door, and every time he hears footsteps, his ears would perk up.
He raised his head and wagged his tail in excitement. However, as the footsteps passed the door, his ears dropped.
It was only a nurse.
He sounds a faint whimper and puts his head on his paws again.
Grandfather Ji sat up on the hospital bed with a newspaper in his hand.
He sees Inu's behavior from the corners of his eyes and lowers the paper.
"Inu, I'm sorry you have to be here with me. You must want to go home."
It's been a long while since the little guy stayed with him. Ji Jingxu often came to visit and keeps Inu distracted, but one thing is clear.
He (Inu) misses his favorite human.
