Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 59

That day, they actually had a pretty good haul—almost two full buckets of fish. And Xiao Chuan looked a lot more cheerful too, not so quiet and withdrawn anymore. Shen Luo's mood lifted along with his. Honestly, fishing really was a great idea.

Aside from giving a few fish to Zheng Jiamei, Shen Luo also gave two to Boss Li. It wasn't like the guy needed any fish, but Shen Luo wanted to show a little appreciation.

After taking the fish, Boss Li brought something up.

"I'm thinking about adopting another dog from you. Do you think that's doable?"

Shen Luo was still petting Huzi at the time, gently squeezing that squishy dog face. Huzi didn't mind at all and just licked his hand in return.

When he heard Boss Li's request, Shen Luo looked up. "Why? Someone asked you to adopt one for them or what?"

Boss Li squatted down and scratched Huzi's back. "I wanna get him a companion. It's too lonely with just me. When I'm busy, he just plays by himself. It breaks my heart to watch. Plus, I'm hoping Huzi can have puppies—some of my friends are interested in having one too. They really like him."

Shen Luo glanced at Huzi. He was already over three years old—young and strong, prime age for making puppies, honestly.

He didn't hesitate much and nodded. "Alright, I'll go through my dogs and find a good female match. Let them have a few litters first, then it'll be time for neutering."

Boss Li agreed immediately. "Exactly. Dogs can have a bunch of pups. Too many wouldn't be good either."

Back home, Shen Luo took stock of the dogs he had and finally picked Douzi, a yellow-and-white female mutt. She was the right age, same breed, and had a calm yet alert temperament. Earlier that spring, a few male dogs had tried to mount her, but she'd put them all in their place.

When he brought Douzi to Boss Li, the guy was really happy. He said Huzi and Douzi were getting along great. Douzi was a good girl, and now he was getting used to life with two dogs instead of one. The place was definitely livelier, and Huzi didn't have to feel lonely anymore.

Shen Luo couldn't help but feel that Boss Li was honestly a great person—he even cared about Huzi's love life. The single dog wasn't single anymore. Now they were all paired up.

That day, Shen Luo had just come back from outside when Zheng Jiamei told him, "Sun Lixin was looking for you just now!"

Sun Lixin was the owner of a nearby photo studio. Both Yujin River Park and the riverbanks around it had some really nice scenery, perfect for wedding photos. Plus, the guy's photography skills were top-notch. Rumor had it he could turn a tiny puddle into a full-on reflective fountain in his shots, so his business was always doing well.

Zheng Jiamei actually liked chatting with Sun Lixin and had picked up a lot of tips from him. Shen Luo used to think something might've been going on between them, but Zheng Jiamei later explained there was a little something—but they never crossed that line. Later, Sun Lixin met his now-wife during a modeling gig, and they got married. Meanwhile, Zheng Jiamei was introduced to her current boyfriend through her family. So in the end, the two just quietly drifted back to being regular friends.

Shen Luo flopped down on the couch. "What'd he want?"

"He didn't say exactly," Zheng Jiamei replied, "but it sounded like something important. He'll probably come back soon."

Sure enough, Sun Lixin showed up not long after. When he saw Shen Luo, his face lit up. "Boss Shen, I came to talk to you about something. My studio just started offering kids' photo shoots, and I was wondering if we could borrow some of your animals as models. Would that be alright with you?"

Shen Luo asked, "Can you explain what exactly you mean?"

Sun Lixin looked like he was about to launch into a whole speech, but Shen Luo quickly cut him off. "Keep it short."

"We're planning a new themed photoshoot series—kids posing with pets. Most families don't have pets, or if they do, the animals might not be well-behaved enough to cooperate. But your pets are all super obedient, so I was hoping we could have them model with the kids."

The moment Shen Luo heard that, he immediately realized there might be some money to be made here, and his eyes lit up. "Say no more. As long as the conditions are good, I'm open to it."

Shen Luo had plenty of mutts and strays in his care, but he also had some fancy ones—like Ethan the golden retriever, Duo Duo and Meng Meng the Samoyeds, Qiu Qiu the mixed-breed but stunning cat, and a few little toy breeds like a teddy and a pug. There were also rabbits, hamsters—you name it, all potentially great for this kind of thing.

Sun Lixin had been neighbors with Shen Luo for years—he obviously got the hint. "Don't worry, I wouldn't dream of shortchanging you, Boss Shen."

So the two of them started working out the collaboration—discussing the details, the compensation, and how everything would be run.

Behind the counter, Zheng Jiamei just shook her head helplessly. As long as money was mentioned, Shen Luo would jump up like someone pressed a button.

After they hammered out the terms, they printed out a contract, signed it, and the partnership officially began.

Sun Lixin took some sample photos with him, and just two days later, he came back, saying he needed Duo Duo and Meng Meng for a shoot.

As soon as Shen Luo heard that, he quickly rounded up the two dogs and brought them along.

And it made total sense they'd want Samoyeds—those fluffy, snow-white dogs were walking plushies. Super deceptive with how angelic they looked.

Just as they stepped out, Ethan tagged along too. Ethan liked following Shen Luo around, and Shen Luo usually didn't stop him, so he let him come this time too.

Once they arrived, Shen Luo found out the shoot was for a little kid, just over two years old, and the photos were a gift for the grandparents back in the family's hometown.

The moment the kid's mom saw the Samoyeds, her whole face lit up. Shen Luo might be stingy in most areas, but when it came to cats and dogs, he was generous—never slacked on baths or grooming. So even with fluffy dogs like Samoyeds, they were spotless and soft, and they looked incredibly gentle and approachable. The kid, who hadn't been very cooperative at first, instantly lit up and ran over to hug Duo Duo, shouting that he wanted to take pictures with him.

Duo Duo had the ultimate long-suffering expression on his face, and Shen Luo felt like he was the evil scumbag forcing innocent girls into shady work. But, to be fair, bratty kids were kind of the natural enemy of pets.
