Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 52

The man quickly asked, "What about everything else? The firework went off in his mouth—did it affect his brain?"

If the explosion had left him paralyzed, that'd be a nightmare.

Wang Bo gave a small smile. "Relax, he's fine. Lucky it wasn't a person. If that thing had gone off on someone, they wouldn't just be injured—they might've caught fire too."

Human hair and clothes were super flammable. Just a few sparks could've lit them up. The man shivered at the thought, looked down at his kid in his wife's arms, and finally let out a breath.

"Thank you so much, Doctor. What do we need to do next?"

Wang Bo pointed toward Shen Luo. "Talk to the boss and settle the bill. Your dog have to stay here for a while. Once he can eat on his own again, he'll be good to go home."

The man finally looked relieved and nodded nonstop. "Alright, alright."

Shen Luo saw they really did care about their dog—a lot. As soon as he was hurt, they brought him in immediately. So, he didn't charge them too much. The man paid up without hesitation.

After the family of three left, Shen Luo spaced out for a while before letting out a long sigh. "Bratty kids are terrifying."

Sure, the dog came off as super loyal for saving his owner. But all of it started because the kid was messing around with fireworks. What's the point of that loyalty? Wouldn't it have been better if nothing had happened at all?

After the dog woke up, it was still in pain, and Ethan and the other dogs took on the role of emotional support, comforting it through the physical discomfort.

That night, the show they had recorded at the TV station finally aired. It was part of the New Year's programming, and watching it on TV really did feel festive. After editing, the show came off as way more fun and creative—so much so that even Shen Luo didn't quite recognize himself on screen.

It took him a while to notice that Xiao Chuan, sitting beside him, was totally zoning out.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Chuan shook his head. "Nothing, just letting my mind wander."

Shen Luo couldn't guess what was on Xiao Chuan's mind, and it didn't feel right to pry, so he changed the subject. "You looked super cool on TV—way cooler than me. I bet a ton of girls are crushing on you now."

Xiao Chuan smiled a little and said, "That's nothing. I actually think you were pretty charming, boss."

Shen Luo lit up inside, but played it cool. "Oh yeah? You trying to flatter me now?"

Leaning back against the couch, Xiao Chuan muttered, "What good does flattering you even do me?"

He laughed a couple of times, but the mood didn't last. Shen Luo found that a little odd.

After the show aired, their Weibo follower count shot up. Since the channel was broadcast nationwide, fans came from all over the country. The sudden spike in followers also said a lot about how big the show's audience really was. Tons of people slid into their DMs, complimenting how smart and impressive their pets were. Some praised them for being kind-hearted and encouraged them to keep it up, and a few folks from faraway places asked about adoptions. Zheng Jiamei had been seriously busy ever since.

Thanks to the show, a bunch of animals from the hospital were adopted. On the busiest day, five animals found homes in just one go. Shen Luo was thrilled—it meant fewer mouths to feed and a boost in pet supply sales too. Win-win all around.

But of course, as more animals got adopted, more new ones were brought in. The staff at the hospital were practically sprinting around with how busy it got.

This time, Shen Luo himself picked up a stray—a black-and-white cat. It wasn't one of those common "Batman mask" cats either. Its markings looked more like spilled milk. It had black patches around its eyes and mouth that made its whole face look kind of ridiculous, and its body had black spots that really did resemble milk splashes. It was a weirdly funny look.

Funny as it was, everyone still thought the cat was ugly. After posting its adoption info, no one showed any interest at all. Seemed like no one wanted an ugly cat.

Shen Luo just named it "Ah Chou*", and immediately got scratched for it—like the cat actually understood what the name meant and took offense.

(*Ugly; hideous; clown.)

Ah Chou might not be cute, but he was super smart. Within half a day at the hospital, he had already figured out who he could mess with and who to avoid. He steered clear of Ah Fei and, by extension, the calico cat that always stuck to Ah Fei's side. But for some reason, he loved bugging Qiu Qiu. At first, Qiu Qiu was terrified and kept hiding, but after a while, she realized Chou wasn't actually trying to hurt her—just being playful. So, she worked up the courage to play back.

Shen Luo also noticed something else—Ah Fei seemed surprisingly chill around the calico. The two of them were definitely getting closer.

One day, the calico cat curled up next to Ah Fei and fell asleep without making a fuss.

Side note: even though the calico had the typical three-colored coat, his tail was actually orange tabby-striped—like a red panda's tail. It looked almost exactly like Ah Fei's tail.

After the two cats dozed off, the calico woke up first, still half-asleep. He saw a tail in front of him and started licking it without thinking. It wasn't long before Ah Fei woke up, realized the calico was licking her tail, and completely lost it.

Furious, like she'd just been deeply insulted, she hit him with his ultimate combo move—the Chain Claw Attack. The poor calico got swatted silly, totally disoriented. He'd already been a little groggy when he woke up, and now he was even more confused. He was licking his own tail—how did that end up offending Ah Fei?

Ah Fei looked like she'd completely given up on the calico's stupidity. She stood up and walked off. The calico, left with empty paws, finally realized he'd been licking a tail that wasn't even his the whole time.

Seeing him stare at his own tail in a daze, like he was genuinely wondering how his tail had turned into Ah Fei's, and whether that bouncy one in the distance might actually be his, Shen Luo couldn't hold back his laughter. The calico used to just seem kinda clueless, but now? He was straight-up dumb! And here he'd thought he was fearless—turned out he was just not very bright!

Still, even though Ah Fei had busted out her ultimate chain claw combo on him, the calico didn't have a scratch on him. Clearly, she'd held back. The fact that Ah Fei would go easy on someone—that was seriously rare.

Now the calico clung to Ah Fei, and Ah Chou had taken a liking to Qiu Qiu. The dynamic actually worked out pretty well—things were peaceful.
