But when he was 28 years old, he died in a gunfight. It was originally just a simple turf issue. He had experienced this kind of thing many times. This fight was no different from the previous ones. The only difference was that he was pushed to the front to block the knife by the people around him. The person who pushed him was his "brother" who had been with him for more than ten years.

Before he died, Fang Yi finally came to his senses. Looking back on his life, he found that he had lived a really confused life. Although he had irresponsible parents, there were still many people who wanted to pull him to the right path along the way. He chose to go down the worst path.

He turned over with great effort and saw a tattered sign not far away with a few light red characters "Family Supermarket" on it.

On a clear night, the stars were very bright. Fang Yi even had the mood to look for Orion in the sky. That was the only constellation his grandfather told him that he could recognize. He knew he was about to die. He could feel his blood slowly flowing out and his body temperature slowly dropping, but he didn't feel sorry. No one would feel sorry for him if he died, a scourge like him.

At this time, Naima appeared. At that time, Naima was still a stray dog. His fur was so dirty that his original color could not be seen. Many places were clumped. He walked to Fang Yi, looked at Fang Yi kindly, stretched out his paw to touch Fang Yi's face, and then licked the blood on Fang Yi's face very gently, and then lay beside Fang Yi to keep him warm.

Fang Yi tried very hard to raise his hand, but he couldn't touch Naima. He felt that God treated him very well. He let the dog comfort him before he died. Although it was not a human, he was already very satisfied.

However, it also added some regrets to his death. His last thought before he died was that if there was someone who could take good care of this dog.

"Naima..." Fang Yi still stretched out his voice this time.

"Woof, woof, woof." Naima called several times in a row, as if he knew Fang Yi was sad, and licked his hand to comfort him.

"Naima, your breath is really bad." Fang Yi said as he opened Naima's mouth. At that time, he was about to die. When Naima licked him, he could still smell the bad smell in Naima's mouth. So after living again, the first thing Fang Yi did when he found Naima was to brush his teeth.

"It's time to brush your teeth again." Fang Yi said, pulling Naima's ears.

"Woo woo woo..." Naima crawled to Fang Yi's side and covered his ears with his two paws, as if saying I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen.

"Let's go back and brush our teeth." Fang Yi patted his butt and stood up, ready to go back, but Naima didn't want to, lying on the ground and refusing to leave.

"What? Do you want me to continue talking, or do you not want to brush your teeth?" Fang Yi squatted in front of Naima and asked.

This time, Naima not only covered his ears, but also his eyes, half-opened his eyes, secretly looking at Fang Yi.

"Okay, let's sit for a while." Fang Yi sat down in his original position again, drank a can of beer, and then continued to recall.

He clearly remembered that he was dead, but he woke up in the small house he rented. His body was intact without any wounds. The landlord told him that it was the day after he had a quarrel with Fang Qian.

Fang Yi walked for a long time in a daze until he came to the place where he died. There was no sign of a fight, but there was a newly opened supermarket, Family Supermarket, which was doing promotions.

Although the days before were boring, they were definitely not a dream. Fang Yi soon understood that he was reborn, but he really didn't understand the meaning of his rebirth. How could a person like him be qualified to be reborn? After meeting Naima, Fang Yi realized the meaning of his rebirth, which must be to take care of the "children" picked up by Naima!

After Fang Yi thought it through, he wandered around here for a long time, trying to find Naima. Although he only saw him a few times before he died, he was sure that he remembered Naima and would recognize him as long as he saw it.

Fang Yi wandered around here for three days but still couldn't find Naima. He first went to Fang Qian's house to apologize to Fang Qian and told him his future plans, saying that he wanted to review and take the college entrance examination again.

Fang Qian supported Fang Yi's idea very much. He took Fang Yi to the best review class in B City, paid for his tuition, rented a house, and worried that he would feel bored alone, so he specially asked Fang Xu to live with him and help Fang Yi with his lessons.

Although he lived decades longer than others, Fang Yi hadn't touched a book for many years, so it was quite difficult to pick it up. In the first half of the year, Fang Yi almost never went to bed before two in the morning. Every Sunday, he would run to this place to see if he could find Naima.

In the winter of the first year after Fang Yi was admitted to the university, Fang Yi finally found Naima. When he found Naima, Naima was still very small, thin and short. Although he looked different from his previous life, Fang Yi still recognized him at a glance because his eyes were gentle and compassionate as before.

Since the school did not allow dogs, Fang Yi rented a house with Naima. At this time, he had found a job and could barely support himself. Although it was a bit difficult to raise Naima, he could still survive if he saved a little. Who knew that after Naima became familiar with Fang Yi, he began to reveal his true nature.

He picked up animals at home every day. If the animals picked up by Naima were thrown out, Naima would be unhappy. Although he would not make trouble with Fang Yi, he would not eat, even if he was starving. Fang Yi had to find the animals he picked up again to make him happy.

Naima was not originally called Naima*, but Xingguang**. Fang Yi saw that his maternal instinct was overflowing, so he changed his name. Naima should also like the new name very much and adapted to it in two days.

(*Naima: nanny; Xingguang: starlight.)

A month later, Fang Yi was kicked out by the landlord, who said that he had so many cats and dogs, which were dirty and noisy, and that he would rather return the rent than let him live there anymore.

Fang Yi had to find a house farther away. This place was far from his school, and the rent was expensive. Fang Yi started looking for a job after the college entrance examination, so he didn't have much savings. Although Fang Qian often gave him pocket money, Fang Yi knew Fang Qian's situation. Fang Qian's family was not rich and had foreign debts, so he never accepted Fang Qian's money.
