Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 1

Directory | Next

It was only six in the morning, and many people were doing Tai Chi and running in Yujin River Park. A boy in his early twenties was searching all around with anxiety on his face. Bystanders could tell at a glance that this young man must have lost something.

"Young man, what are you looking for?" An old man who was walking with his dog stopped and asked.

The young man raised his head, adjusted his black-framed glasses, and said with beads of sweat on his head, "My wallet is missing. I think it fell here, so I came here early to look for it."

The old man asked, "Are you sure you lost it in this park?"

The young man thought about it and said, "It is probably lost here."

The old man laughed and said, "That's easy. If you really lost it in this park, you can find it by asking at the pet hospital."

The young man obviously didn't believe it, "Did they pick it up?"

The old man stretched out his hand and made a circle, saying, "The animals in their home are very powerful. They can find a needle that falls nearby. You can ask and you will know."

The young man thought about it and nodded, "Thank you, I will go ask now."

After saying goodbye to the old man, the young man took a few steps, raised his wrist to check his watch, and suddenly remembered that no pet hospital would be open so early. Looking up, he spotted the hospital sign hidden among the trees, so he quickened his pace and ran toward it.

When he arrived at the hospital, he found that it was already open. It was not just a hospital but also a pet supplies store next to it, marked by a simple sign with white letters on a green background.

The young man suddenly rushed inside, startling the cats and dogs in the building. They began barking wildly, scaring him. Some dogs charged toward him as if they were about to knock him to the ground.

"Stop yelling! It's so noisy!" A man's voice came from the room inside, and the barking dogs really stopped barking, but they still surrounded the young man and refused to leave. The young man was so scared that his legs were shaking.

After a while, a man in a blue shirt came out and saw the young man, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The young man swallowed his saliva and said, "I lost my wallet yesterday, and someone said I could come to you to ask."

The man in the blue shirt walked behind the cashier facing the door and said, "What style and color? What's in it?"

"Oh, my wallet is black, short cloth, and it contains my ID card and bank card, and more than 30 yuan." Seeing the man looking at him with an inquiring look, the young man hurriedly added, "My name is Li Lei."

The man muttered, "What an ordinary name." As he said that, he lowered his head and rummaged behind the cashier for a while, took out a wallet, opened it and looked at it, and said, "Is this yours?"

The young man's eyes lit up when he saw the wallet, "It's mine! Thank you!"

The man shook his head, "Don't thank me, Brother Hei and the others found it."

"Brother Hei?"

"It's those dogs." The man pointed to the dogs behind Li Lei, and Li Lei was stunned.

"It's okay, you can go now."

The man walked out of the cashier counter and prepared to go into the room.

"Here... Boss, what's your last name?"

"Shen, given name Luo. Since you don't have much money, don't even think about thanking me." After saying that, Shen Luo went back without looking back, leaving Li Lei feeling a little embarrassed.

Shen Luo was used to it. Every now and then, someone would come looking for a lost schoolbag, wallet, mobile phone, or other belongings. His place had practically become the lost and found office of Yujin River Park.

The black guys came up to ask for food, but Shen Luo pushed them away, "Go, go, go, they didn't give us any gifts, what can we eat."

The Brother Hei whined, unwilling to accept it. Why didn't they get any rewards for doing good things!

Shen Luo was speechless for a while, and could only grab a handful of dog food and said, "It's time to eat first, it's not time to snack yet!"

"Woo woo woo..." A handful was not enough! There were so many brothers! Brother Hei was very persistent.

Shen Luo sprinkled the dog food into the dog bowl and said, "Eat it if you want. If you don't want to eat it, forget it."

Brother Hei and his friends really plunged in.

Shen Luo curled his lips, you guys, could you beat me?

After checking the injuries of several injured cats and dogs and finding no major problems, Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

When he looked up, it was almost eight o'clock in the morning.

There was a sound of cars outside the door, and soon there was the sound of high heels.

Zheng Jiamei shouted as soon as she entered the door, "Boss, come out for breakfast!"

When she saw the broken van at the door, she knew Shen Luo had arrived.

Shen Luo washed his hands and came out, saying, "You bought these expensive buns again!"

Zheng Jiamei snorted, "If you don't eat them, I'll give them to others!"

Zheng Jiamei came from a well-off family. Shen Luo paid her a monthly salary of 1,500 yuan, which was barely enough to make a difference to her, but she enjoyed the job. Her family, worried that she might be deceived if she pursued other work, allowed her to continue as long as she was happy.

Zheng Jiamei's favorite breakfast was Jiweixuan’s steamed buns. A basket cost 50 yuan and contained ten small buns. It was just enough to satisfy a woman's appetite, but the taste made up for the modest portion.

Those greedy dogs and cats smelled the fragrance and became a little uneasy, but they also knew that it was not something they could eat, so they didn't grab the food obediently.

Shen Luo picked up a bag of buns and said, "It's a waste if you don't eat it."

Zheng Jiamei knew her boss's character well and didn't bother to pay attention to him. The first thing she did was to open the cash register computer.

"Oh, by the way, someone just came to claim the black wallet I found last night. No thank-you reward, though." Shen Luo looked quite disappointed.

Zheng Jiamei said, "The wallet is tattered and thin, so there must be no money. How can he give a thank-you fee? It's like being a Lei Feng*."

(*In a modern, humorous, or sarcastic context, people sometimes say "雷锋 (Léi Fēng)" to joke about doing a good deed without receiving thanks or rewards—like in your previous sentence about returning a wallet with no "thank-you fee.")
