After dinner, Fang Yi, as usual, took Naima for a walk, and Du Qianze, wearing more casual clothes, joined him.

Walking down this road again, Du Qianze couldn't help but feel sentimental. The first time he walked Naima with Fang Yi was when they had just met, and back then, he never imagined there would be a day like this.

Naima, pulling Pei Datou and Pei Daniu along, came out for a walk. When they reached the milk bar, Naima stopped at the door and refused to go any further, looking up at Fang Yi with clear intentions.

"I get it. How many boxes do you want? One, or two?" Since Naima seemed so happy, Fang Yi didn't restrict how much yogurt it could have.

"Woof, woof." Naima barked twice, indicating it wanted two boxes.

"Alright, two boxes for you." Fang Yi nodded, telling Du Qianze to keep an eye on Naima while he went inside to buy the yogurt.

Pei Datou and Pei Daniu seemed unfamiliar with yogurt, so they copied Naima and licked a few times. Pei Daniu ate happily, wagging her tail from time to time. Pei Datou licked the yogurt a few times but didn't seem to like it, quietly pushing the yogurt in front of Naima.

Seeing that Pei Datou didn't want the yogurt, Naima barked a few times at it, as if trying to tell it the benefits of yogurt. But Pei Datou still didn't want to eat it, stubbornly pushing the yogurt in front of Naima. Naima glanced at Pei Daniu, who was happily eating, and pushed one of the yogurt cups to Pei Daniu.

Pei Daniu, seeing the extra yogurt, was delighted, turned to Pei Datou and howled a few times before lowering her head to lick the yogurt.

"Naima reunited with his siblings today. Does he still want to pick up small animals?" Du Qianze asked, somewhat puzzled. Actually, he had secretly wondered if Naima's love for picking up small animals was because he had lost his siblings when he was young, but from what Pei Haoyan had said, it didn't seem to be the case.

"I don't know. It does whatever he wants. If he picks something up, we'll take care of it; if not, we'll just go home." Fang Yi was very open about it. The store already had so many dogs, one more or one less didn't really matter.

"True, but I really want to know what Naima went through to become like this. He must have suffered a lot," Du Qianze said.

He had asked Fang Yi how he found Naima, and according to Fang Yi, when he found Naima, it was still small, only three or four months old, but it looked like he had been a stray for a long time. His original fur color was unrecognizable, and he was extremely thin. The dog was very downcast, avoiding people, and Fang Yi had to put in a lot of effort to bring Naima home.

"Of course, it's been tough. As for how much he suffered, I don't know. When I was about to carry Naima away, he kept struggling in my arms and crying loudly, not wanting to leave me. I could tell he really didn't want to go, so I let it go.

"I followed him for a day and saw that whenever he found food, he would carry it back to his nest, but wouldn't eat it himself. I went to his nest while he was away and found a d**d puppy there. It looked like it had been beaten to death, had been d**d for many days, and was already starting to rot.

"Whenever Naima found something, he would bring he to its mouth. If he came across other smaller stray animals, he would share the food he found with them, but he barely ate anything himself."

What Fang Yi had seen and heard at that time made him later accept the fact that Naima would bring home small animals. He had tried to resist at first, but when he realized that Naima really wasn't happy and even wanted to leave, he obediently accepted it.

"Naima... he really has been through a lot." If Naima were a person, Du Qianze could say many comforting words, but when it came to Naima, nothing he said would matter. The only thing he could do was treat Naima well.

"Now it's me who's been struggling," Fang Yi replied. Naima brought home these small animals, and Fang Yi was responsible for their food, drink, and hygiene. Naima only comforted them and played with them.

"You're happy while working hard, right? Isn't that a good thing?" Du Qianze patted Fang Yi's shoulder and said, "In the future, I'll help you. Let's earn more money and take care of the family together."

"Alright." Fang Yi nodded vigorously. Hearing Du Qianze say that, he immediately felt that the burden on his shoulders had lightened a lot. From now on, someone would be there to share it with him.

After finishing the yogurt, Naima took Pei Datou and Pei Daniu outside for a walk. Naima usually ran to more remote places, hard to reach, so Fang Yi would wait for him at a fixed spot. Sitting there and chatting with Du Qianze, Fang Yi deeply felt that having two people was indeed better than just one.

Half an hour later, Naima returned with a very thin little yellow cat. The yellow cat looked about three or four months old, very skinny, with only a pair of big eyes left on its face. It looked at Fang Yi nervously.

"Do you want to eat?" Fang Yi checked the little yellow cat, roughly estimated its age, and took out some cat food from his bag to offer it.

The little yellow cat turned to look at Naima. Naima smiled and barked a few times at the cat. Only then did the little yellow cat cautiously lower its head and eat the food from Fang Yi's hand.

"Eat some more." Seeing that the little yellow cat was willing to eat, Fang Yi grabbed more cat food and placed it in front of it. Then he turned to Naima and asked, "Where are Pei Datou and Pei Daniu?"

"Woof, woof, woof." Naima barked a few times as he came back. Pei Daniu was the first to arrive, with a little tabby cat in her mouth. However, she didn't seem very experienced, and after walking a little, she had to put the little tabby cat down to rest before continuing to pick it up again.

When Pei Daniu reached Fang Yi, he took the little cat from her mouth and noticed that the tabby cat and the yellow cat were probably from the same litter. He placed the tabby cat next to the yellow cat so they could eat together.

Pei Daniu came back, and just as Fang Yi was about to turn and ask where Pei Datou was, Pei Datou came charging over at full speed, hurriedly dropped the puppy from his mouth in front of Fang Yi, and quickly darted away to hide behind Naima.

"Woof woof woof woof..." A dog came running over, barking loudly. The moment it saw the little pup in front of Fang Yi, it barked fiercely at him.

"Pei Datou, what did you do?" Fang Yi turned around helplessly and asked. Judging from the situation, this puppy didn't look like it had been "rescued."
