The Samoyed brought back the basket with the ten yuan still in it.

Shen Luo thought for a second and said, "Twelve garlic bulbs, three eggs, one bunch of celery, seven ears of corn—that's thirteen eighty total. Go take it to Old Zhang!"

Sure enough, the Samoyed followed Shen Luo's instructions, packed the stuff, and trotted off to find Old Zhang—another host. Turned out it even recognized the nickname.

Old Zhang handed over the money and gave up the basket too, but the Samoyed still wouldn't leave.

"What's going on now?" Old Zhang called up to the stage.

Shen Luo said, "Maybe you shorted the payment?"

"No way, I gave thirteen... thirteen fifty. What, you don't round down in business?"

Shen Luo smiled lazily. "I do, but he doesn't. Nothing I can do about it!"

The audience cracked up. Who'd have thought even a thirty-cent difference would be noticed? This Samoyed was really sharp!

This part of the show proved that the animals could not only count, but also recognize items, people—and even money.

Everything had gone perfectly, the performance flawless, and the Samoyed had been amazing—until the exit.

On its way out, the Samoyed suddenly bolted straight into the audience. Shen Luo jumped in shock—what now?!

Turned out someone in the crowd was eating candy, and the Samoyed had spotted it. It leapt onto the person, drooling and staring like, If you don't give me some, I'm not leaving.

Shen Luo facepalmed—seriously, what an embarrassment. Like he didn't feed it at home!

Surprisingly, the audience loved it. They burst out laughing, and the camera crew rushed in, swinging their cameras around to catch the Samoyed's fluffy mug right on screen.

Shen Luo dragged the Samoyed offstage and tugged on its ear. "You dumb little goofball... seriously, you're hopeless!"

The Samoyed was still staring at him with those innocent puppy eyes, acting all pure and harmless. If they weren't at the TV station, Shen Luo would've definitely knocked him twice on the head just to let off steam.

Next up was Xiao Chuan's four-hands piano duet with a dog. When this act was first mentioned, Shen Luo had worried Xiao Chuan might not even know how to play. But when Zheng Jiamei brought over her dusty old keyboard to the hospital, Xiao Chuan fiddled with it a bit and ended up actually playing a few songs. At the time, Shen Luo couldn't help but think—so Xiao Chuan's a low-key artsy guy, huh!

One man, one dog, sitting side by side on the piano bench. Xiao Chuan played, and the dog "played" too, with both paws resting on the keys. Whenever Xiao Chuan paused, the dog would tap the keys a few times, then howl along with Xiao Chuan. Unexpectedly, it actually stayed in sync. It didn't sound annoying at all—instead, it almost felt like those dog howls were just a natural part of the music.

Then it was time for Shen Luo and Big Horn's crosstalk duet.

Shen Luo and Big Horn bickered all the time. Big Horn was pretty sharp, had a huge vocabulary, and was always expanding it. Sometimes it even used words Shen Luo had never heard before—no clue where it picked them up.

Shen Luo placed Big Horn on a birdcage stand and carried the cage with him.

This bit had a full script written ahead of time. Originally, it was even more local-flavored, filled with all kinds of unfiltered stuff—like calling people dumbasses, which Big Horn loved saying on the regular. But the showrunners said nope, not allowed to spread that kind of language, so they force-edited the whole thing, and it did suck a little of the fun out of it.

After a bit of warm-up banter, Shen Luo said, "I still don't have a partner."

"I got a wife, suck it."

"Your wife beats you."

"Beating means love, yelling means caring. Getting beat and yelled at just means we're hopelessly in love!"

The audience cracked up. A parrot talking about love—of course Big Horn even blinked innocently at just the right moment.

Shen Luo said, "She only beats you, doesn't even yell."

"A gentleman uses words, not fists—like me. A lady uses fists, not words—like my wife."

Shen Luo gave the audience a deadpan look, and they just kept laughing even harder.

"Show off your love, break up faster!"

"You're just jealous, single loser!"

"How dare you insult me!"

"You're cursing a bird now! Good thing I'm big-hearted and let it slide!"

"Don't force me to join the FFF Squad and burn you!"

"Bi-u-bi-u——" That damn bird even imitated the sound of a firetruck. Shen Luo froze. That was NOT in the script!

Once the audience caught up, the laughter exploded again. The parrot's timing was just too good.

Big Horn even strutted a few steps along the cage, tilted his head at the audience like, What? I didn't do anything.

Shen Luo had to scramble like mad to pull the whole thing back on track. Seriously, between that Samoyed earlier and this chaotic bird—were they here to wreck the show? They were totally fine during rehearsal!

Backstage, the stage director gave Shen Luo a big thumbs-up, praising their performance.

Shen Luo could only give a sheepish smile. Sure, the unscripted chaos got the audience laughing harder and made the show way more fun—but man, pulling it back together was exhausting!

The final act was pretty simple: four dogs ran laps around the stage while a few cats leaped and bounced on their backs, mainly showing off some difficult moves. Thankfully, nothing unexpected happened, and the show finally wrapped up.

Only then did Shen Luo feel like he could finally breathe again. Having your nerves strung tight the whole time? Not fun.

After the performance, Shen Luo, Xiao Chuan, and Zheng Jiamei came out with all the animals for a curtain call. Then the hosts came in to do interviews and such. Nothing major happened after that—the second half of the event passed by peacefully.

After the filming wrapped, they still had to wait for the production team to review the footage before they could leave.

Turned out, the director said the results were pretty good—no need to reshoot the performance segment, and the interview part was totally fine too, so Shen Luo and the others were free to go.

After changing clothes and wiping off his makeup, Shen Luo came out and saw Xiao Chuan chatting it up with a man—and that man just so happened to be Zhang Yi, the host of "Happy Gathering".

Seeing that, Shen Luo instantly felt a little irritated. The two of them looked like they were really hitting it off.

"What are you guys talking about? Looks like you're having fun." Shen Luo asked casually, trying to sound normal.
