Of course, for Wei Ying, this road to overcoming is a battle with no retreat. Only by facing it bravely can he break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.

So, he decided to design a series of training programs for Wei Ying to gradually get in touch with and overcome his fear of dogs.

"Aying, from today on, we have to take it step by step. Start by looking at the dogs in the pictures, then observe the real dogs from a distance, and finally, when you are ready, we will try to slowly approach them." Chaoyang's words were filled with unquestionable determination, but also with warmth and encouragement.

Wei Ying looked up, his eyes flashing with fear and anticipation. He nodded, even though he was feeling uneasy.

In the days that followed, Chaoyang led Wei Ying, implementing their plan step by step. Initially, they simply flipped through books with pictures of dogs at home, and later, from afar, they observed the puppies he had brought back from the village through the fence in the yard. Every small step forward gave Wei Ying a deep sense of accomplishment. Chaoyang was always there, silently supporting Wei Ying with his eyes filled with trust and encouragement.

As time went on, Wei Ying's fear of dogs began to fade. He learned to observe them with a more peaceful mindset, and even began to try to maintain a certain distance when interacting with some docile dogs. Although fear still occasionally welled up in his heart, whenever this happened, Chaoyang would always use his steady and powerful voice to gently sound in Wei Ying's ears, like a warm breeze, blowing away the haze in his heart. "Aying, remember? Fear is just a shadow in your heart. When you face it bravely, it will slowly shrink until it disappears."

It was a sunny day, and the yard was filled with laughter and joy. Several lively and adorable puppies were playing happily, their carefree appearances seeming to announce their happiness to the world.

The puppies chased each other, sometimes rolling on the soft grass, and sometimes playing with each other, as if they were having a silent conversation.

Their laughter seemed to infect the surrounding flowers, plants and trees, making the whole yard full of vitality and vigor. The sunlight sprinkled on them, giving them a layer of golden brilliance, as if adding a warm blessing to their happy time.

Chaoyang looked at Wei Ying with a smile and suggested, "Aying, today is a good day. Let's try to get closer to them, okay?"

A flicker of hesitation flashed across Wei Ying's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a determined glint. He nodded, and though his palms were slightly sweaty, he walked towards the puppies with unwavering determination. Every step seemed to be treading on his inner fear, but he did not retreat.

Chaoyang followed closely behind, keeping a suitable distance, neither putting too much pressure on Wei Ying nor making sure he could quickly provide support when he needed it. He guided Wei Ying softly, telling him how to observe the dog's body language and how to understand their behavior.

"Look, the puppy is wagging its tail. That's its friendly sign. You can try to slowly reach out your hand, but don't rush to touch it. Let it get familiar with your presence first." Chaoyang's words were like a gentle spring breeze, gradually relaxing Wei Ying's nervous mood.

Finally, with Chao Yang's encouragement, Wei Ying mustered up the courage and cautiously reached out a hand. His fingers trembled slightly, but he eventually managed to hover just a short distance from the puppy. The puppy seemed to sense his kindness, gently sniffing Wei Ying's finger before gently touching it with its wet nose.

At that moment, Wei Ying felt an indescribable joy and sense of accomplishment. He discovered that he could actually get so close to the creatures that once terrified him, and that they were not as terrifying as he had imagined.

"Uncle, I did it!" Wei Ying looked back at Chaoyang excitedly, tears glistening in his eyes, tears of joy and gratitude.

Chaoyang smiled and nodded, his eyes filled with satisfaction and pride. Then, Chaoyang handed Wei Ying a bowl of meat and gestured for him to feed them.

Wei Ying took the bowl of meat, his hands still trembling slightly, but his eyes were filled with an unprecedented determination and tenderness. He gently crouched down and cautiously approached the puppies, silently repeating each step Chao Yang had taught him. The puppies seemed to sense Wei Ying's change and gathered around, curiously examining their new friend with their sparkling eyes.

Wei Ying took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound steady: "Come, little guys, this is for you." He gently placed a piece of meat on the ground, stepped back, and let the puppies enjoy the food freely.

The puppies happily scrambled for the meat, their tails wagging even more cheerfully, as if thanking Wei Ying for his generosity. As Wei Ying looked at these adorable little creatures, the fear in his heart completely dissipated, replaced by an unprecedented sense of closeness.

Chaoyang stood aside, watching Wei Ying and the puppies get along harmoniously, his heart filled with joy. He knew that Wei Ying had taken the first step in overcoming his fear, and this was just the beginning.

"Aying, you did a great job." Chaoyang said softly, with a gleam of approval in his eyes.

Wei Ying turned his head and responded with a smile: "Thank you, uncle. I finally understand. It turns out that fear is not an insurmountable gap. As long as you have the courage to face it, everything will be different."

Chaoyang nodded, seeing that Wei Ying had taken an important step forward. He decided to call it a day and left with Wei Ying, intending to continue tomorrow.

In the days that followed, Wei Ying's life remained normal, repeating the same pattern day after day, until one day he finally mustered the courage to embrace the dog that had once frightened him. To help Wei Ying overcome his fear of animals like dogs, Chao Yang brought back a variety of animals from the depths of the forest, including leopards, tigers, foxes, and adorable pandas.

These training sessions were conducted under the premise of ensuring absolute safety. Chaoyang carefully arranged every encounter to ensure that Wei Ying would not be harmed in any way. Over time, Wei Ying's fear of them gradually subsided, and he began to learn how to coexist peacefully with them.

However, this approach also brought about an unintended consequence: the entire yard almost became a small zoo.

The addition of various animals made the originally spacious yard extremely crowded and could hardly accommodate so many creatures.

Eventually, they had to consider expanding the courtyard. Fortunately, they did not need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build new buildings, but instead easily solved the problem with magic.

Otherwise, if someone accidentally sees various animals in the yard, they will probably be scared to death.

From then on, Wei Ying's fear of dogs became a thing of the past.
