"Can you guys give her a bath?" the owner asked, kinda worried.

Zheng Jiamei was trying hard not to laugh and said, "Of course we can! Don't worry, we'll get your dog cleaned up in no time. But hey, do you wanna snap a few pics first for the memories?"

The dog gave her a deeply offended look, like, Seriously? Why would you even suggest that?

The dog owner, relieved to hear that the dog could be washed and cleaned up, immediately felt at ease. Upon hearing Zheng Jiamei's suggestion, she thought it was a great idea and quickly took out her phone to snap a few pictures.

While she was taking the photos, she didn't mind Zheng Jiamei doing the same. Zheng Jiamei took plenty of pictures, especially focusing on the dog's eyes, which had been drawn with two black circles resembling dark eye bags. The dog would occasionally blink her wet eyes, looking completely innocent and pitiful. It truly looked helpless and adorable.

After the photoshoot, the dog was taken to get washed. The dog was surprisingly chill about the whole thing—not even trying to resist. The dog probably knew the bath was her only shot at ditching the ridiculous paint job.

Seriously, kids were the natural enemies of pets.

Once she was clean, everyone realized the dog actually looked pretty majestic and strong—at the very least, pretty intimidating. Zheng Jiamei chuckled as she petted the dog a couple of times and took two more pictures. This time, the dog had her mouth open in a grin, squinting her eyes as if it were smiling, looking incredibly happy.

"Your dog is super smart!" Zheng Jiamei said to the owner with a big smile.

The dog owner looked super proud. "Of course! My dog's crazy smart. Sure, he got caught off guard this time, but before that? She totally had my nephew wrapped around her paw. She loves those milk biscuits, but I wouldn't let her have too many—y'know, they're made for people, not dogs. Too much isn't good for her. So guess what? She sweet-talked my nephew into asking me for some. Once the kid got them, they'd split. My dog even ate half and hid the other half, pretended she finished it, then begged the kid for more. I swear, most of those biscuits ended up in her belly."

Zheng Jiamei was all about pet stories like that—her eyes lit up and she beamed the whole time, tugging the person to sit down and spill more melon about this sneaky pit bull.

"Haven't seen you around here before," she said. "Is this your first time visiting us?"

"Oh yeah, I used to go to another pet clinic nearby. But you know how people were saying that place was shady? They supposedly messed up and caused some pets to die, so I didn't dare take her there anymore. I heard good stuff about your place though—and you guys even gave my dog a little bath cap during the wash. That was cute."

"Well, if you like our place, you should totally stick with us! We've got everything you need—and hey, we even do matchmaking!"

"Wait, you mean for people or for dogs?"

She laughed. "Come on, obviously for dogs. There's five of us here and four are single. If we were matchmaking for people, we'd be digging our own grave."

Everyone here was single except for Zheng Jiamei, who had a boyfriend from a well-off family. The other four guys? All single—though Shen Luo's situation was a bit... complicated.

The dog owner chuckled, then suddenly seemed to remember something. "Wait, for real? This breed's pretty rare around here. If you can help him go on a blind date, I'd totally be down. I'd love for him to find a nice lady dog—he's not neutered yet!"

Since Zheng Jiamei had already put the idea out there, she couldn't really backtrack now. "Of course! Our boss is super connected—well, not people-connected, more like pet-connected. He'll definitely help you find a match."

And just like that, Shen Luo got one more task added to his plate—finding a boyfriend for a pit bull. The dog owner's request wasn't even that picky: just the same breed and healthy. But while pit bulls were pretty common abroad, they were not that easy to find around here.

Shen Luo threw Zheng Jiamei multiple death stares, totally convinced she was doing this to get back at him over the whole chicken-selling drama.

Still, when it came to customers, Shen Luo always kept things professional. He smiled and didn't say too much—just replied, "Once I find the right one, I'll contact you. These days, people aren't exactly thrilled about dealing with unneutered dogs, y'know?"

Unspayed females go into heat twice a year, and when they do, it was a mess—bloody spots everywhere, clean-up's a nightmare. Even if you put them in doggy period pants, not all dogs were okay with wearing them. So finding a healthy adult male, privately owned and not from a breeding mill, was gonna take some effort.

Thankfully, the owner said there was no rush—and promised a good reward once it worked out. Only then did Shen Luo decide to actually keep it in mind.

Asking Shen Luo for setting up blind dates for pets wasn't a bad idea at all. His pet hospital had gotten kinda famous in the city lately.

Sure, the guy was a total money-hungry gremlin, but no one could deny his service and skills were top-tier. And even though he was all about the cash, he still had a conscience—he actually cared about the animals. So most people, after coming in a couple times, would end up sticking with his clinic for good.

Because of that, Shen Luo had ended up getting to know a ton of pets in the city.

Back then, Shen Luo followed a free-love policy for the animals in his clinic—if they liked someone, they could go for it, and whether they could win them over or not was up to their own charm. Once a couple got together, they were only allowed to have three litters. After the third, they had to get neutered or spayed. All the animals at the clinic knew Shen Luo's rules, so they were pretty careful when choosing a partner.

Plenty of couples stayed lovey-dovey after getting together. The most iconic pair had to be White Cloud and Black Earth. They were usually quiet and lowkey, but Shen Luo knew—when it really mattered, Black Earth could throw down like some masked vigilante. One swipe of his claws could literally take off a layer of skin. So yeah, none of the animals dared to underestimate him.

That said, Shen Luo had never actually played matchmaker for the animals before, so he was kind of flying blind.

But... he was thinking about that matchmaking fee. So after stewing on it for a bit, he decided to rope Big Horn into it.
