Crystal's POV:
Rin stood up straight and looked at me unblinkingly, tilting her head to the side slightly.
I couldn't help but burst into laughter. After wiping away my tears, I rubbed her fuzzy forehead and said with a smile, "Hey, what're you looking at, big girl? We haven't seen each other in years, so you can't recognize me now?"
Rin squinted at me, but the smile on her face grew bigger. Then she threw her head back and howled excitedly, rushing to rub her head against my neck.
Her soft fur brushed my neck, tickling me slightly. I was amused by her greeting and held her paw as though to shake hands.
We hadn't seen each other in so many years but Rin hadn't changed at all. She was still a bit naughty and free-spirited, eager to play with me as we used to.
It could be seen that Rin had lived well these past few years. She had grown even stronger and bigger than before.
After playing with me for a while, Rin suddenly turned around and bolted back into the forest.
I felt confused and shouted after her, "Where are you going?"
She paused to look over her shoulder and then continued to run. I could only stand up and catch up with her.
Rin led me to the other side of the forest. The densely-packed trees blotted out the sunshine, rendering the whole place dark.
Soon, we came across a big cave. When Rin and I came to the mouth of the cave, I saw two majestic wolves running out from inside. One of them was even bigger than Rin, its big tail as fluffy as Rin's.
I guessed that they were Rin's pups. I was delighted and ran to meet them halfway.
Rin was one step ahead of me. As expected, as soon as the two young wolves saw Rin, they surrounded her and howled happily, tails wagging.
I stopped in my tracks and looked at this warm scene, feeling my heart soften.
It was a pity that Ian wasn't with us this time.
Rin turned her head and howled at me. She wagged her tail hard, as though to tell me to approach.
I quickly walked to her and squatted down, wanting to pet the young wolves. However, before I could reach out, one of the pups growled at me vigilantly. It even bared its teeth, glaring at me fiercely.
The next second, Rin slammed her huge paw on its neck and roared at the poor fellow.
