Daily Life in the Pet Shop Ch. 167

Prev | Directory | Next

"It's fine." Fang Yi didn't care about stuff like that. This was his pet shop, and there were lots of people coming and going every day. Having one more person like Tian Yanming wasn't a big deal. Besides, he liked people who cared for animals, like Tian Yanming did.

"Thank you, thankyou." Tian Yanming thanked him again, getting ready to ask Hai Yang and the others what Fang Yi liked so he could bring something tomorrow.

"No need to be so polite. You guys adopting animals here, Fang Yi should be thanking you, not the other way around. You've lightened his load." Hai Yang had never seen Tian Yanming act like this before. Although Tian Yanming wasn't the type to be stuck up and was friendly, he'd never seen anyone so passionate and kind to others like this.

"Can't say that. The shop owner takes in these little animals and helps treat their injuries. Just that alone is something we should thank him for. Not to mention, I'm making things more complicated for him." Tian Yanming turned to Hai Yang and said seriously.

Tian Yanming spoke a few more words with Fang Yi, asked about the cat's situation, and said he'd come by tomorrow. He also asked Fang Yi to total up the medical bills for the cat, not just for this time, but for all its medical expenses. He'd come by tomorrow to pay.

Hearing that, the sound engineer immediately paid for the little dog's medical expenses and even gave Fang Yue an extra 5,000 yuan for future medical costs, saying to call him if more was needed and leaving his number with Fang Yi.

"Brother, those two are pretty great, huh? Tian Yanming really is my ultimate crush," Fang Yue said, putting the money away and running over to Fang Yi.

"You little brat, didn't you say that Qianze is your one and only crush?" Hai Yang chimed in from the side.

"A long time ago, Tian Yanming was my crush. But after he got married, he's not my crush anymore," Fang Yue glanced at Hai Yang and shook her head as she walked off, muttering, "Typical little softie, always making a fuss about stuff like this."

Hearing that, Hai Yang was hopping mad. What did he have to do with being a little softie! His memory was just really good!

After sending Tian Yanming and the others off, Zhou Chongwen came in from outside. He didn't acknowledge Fang Yi, instead pulling Hai Yang away. If this were before, Fang Yi wouldn't have thought much about it, but now with Zhou Chongwen acting like this... this definitely seemed like some secret affair.

When did that even happen?

Because of Du Qianze's influence, Pei Haoyan had a pretty good impression of Fang Yi. So when he was chatting with Pei Sisi about him, the stuff Pei Haoyan said made Pei Sisi frown hard—like, how could anyone be that dumb? But Pei Haoyan kept insisting that Pei Datou liked Fang Yi too, and Pei Sisi actually started to half believe him.

Pei Haoyan might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he still had some brainpower. The only reason he blindly believed what Du Qianze said was because of how Pei Datou had been acting. Now she was curious to see how Pei Daniu would react when she met Naima.

By the time Pei Haoyan and Pei Sisi got back, Pei Daniu had already said hi to Pei Datou and was now doing the mutual sniff check with Naima.

"See that?" Pei Sisi sneakily pinched him and whispered, "Your Pei Datou is just a total softie with zero brain cells. You really trust her judgment? Look at my Daniu—super cautious."

Pei Haoyan sucked in a sharp breath—dang, his sister really didn't hold back. He was just about to argue that Pei Datou wasn't some naive dummy, when suddenly a bark rang out. He turned his head just in time to see Pei Daniu howling at the sky like she was doing a whole dramatic monologue. Right after that, she looked super hyped, reached out both front paws, grabbed Naima's head, and started grooming her.

"Sister, does your face hurt? Want me to give it a little rub?" Pei Haoyan laughed when he saw that reaction. Pei Daniu's move was like a slap in the face—so loud, so clear.

"Hmph. Naima looks so much like Pei Datou, they could totally be siblings and I wouldn't even be surprised," Pei Sisi muttered, stunned.

Honestly, she hadn't doubted Naima's identity from the start. Sure, a lot of cats and dogs looked alike, but two dogs that looked this identical? That was rare. If Naima hadn't had any work done, then yeah, there was a real chance they were siblings.

What Pei Sisi was skeptical about was Fang Yi. Pei Haoyan had just gotten back to the country, and suddenly met Pei Datou's long-lost brother. That was just way too convenient.

"Ugh, sis, don't overthink it. Aren't you tired?" Pei Haoyan sighed. "I might not be great at reading people, but I'm pretty good with animals. Look at them—if Fang Yi were actually some villain, would all these little guys be chilling here so happily? And your Daniu—you're always bragging about her to your friends, saying that even though she's just a mixed-breed, her IQ totally wipes the floor with those fancy, expensive airhead dogs. Just wait and see, she might end up being even less reserved around Fang Yi than Pei Datou."

Pei Haoyan wasn't stupid. He didn't blindly believe everything Du Qianze said, but some things were easy to read. The moment he stepped into the backyard, he could tell all the animals were super relaxed. Especially that one cat who jumped out on its own to stand guard—if a cat felt safe enough to chill like that, this place definitely gave off secure and comfy vibes.

"Hmph." Pei Sisi snorted, her expression stiff. She wanted to say something, but held back.

Sure, Pei Daniu was usually cautious and didn't mess with strangers, but once she warmed up to someone, she'd go full drama queen—rolling around, begging for belly rubs, the whole nine yards. Still, this was her first time meeting Fang Yi. Even if she didn't avoid him, she definitely shouldn't be that friendly either... right? But then again, the guy did run a pet shop, so maybe he had a way with animals. If Pei Daniu suddenly acted all sweet with him, that wouldn't be too shocking either.

Pei Daniu groomed Fang Yi for a bit, then the three dogs sat down in a little huddle and started "talking." When she barked to Pei Datou, it was still manageable. But when Naima joined in, suddenly it was like a whole doggy chorus—dozens of barks overlapping, the whole yard buzzing with noise and energy.

Little Bandit tilted its head at Naima, holding its ears in distress. Another one? Another dog that looked just like Naima? Just how many Naimas were out there? This was too much. It was scared now.
