Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 71

He looked at the two dogs, who looked like they were about to pounce, then gave them a cold glare and suddenly took a huge bite out of the bun. The dogs froze—That was our bun! Why's he eating it?!

But neither of them dared to fight him for it. Shen Luo was way too scary.

After slowly finishing the bun, Shen Luo said, "Going back or not? No bun if you don't."

The dogs had no choice but to stand up and shuffle out, heads hanging low. The shop owner watching from the side couldn't stop twitching at the corner of his mouth. He'd originally meant for the dogs to eat the bun, but now Shen Luo had eaten it instead. Still, he didn't say anything.

Shen Luo thought that was the end of it—but he didn't expect the dogs to be such drama queens. Just a couple steps out the door, Duoduo, who was in front, suddenly staggered, then kept walking. Shen Luo thought maybe he imagined it—until Duoduo collapsed right outside the door!

Right away, Mengmeng rushed over, barking nonstop, looking super anxious. But her eyes kept sneaking glances at Shen Luo, like she was checking his reaction.

At that moment, Shen Luo truly felt like—he'd been screwed over by dogs. They were putting on a tragic scene for him!

This had to be because they'd watched too many melodramas with Zheng Jiamei!

The shop owner and his wife were laughing like crazy. They hadn't expected the dogs to act so well. It was obviously fake—Duoduo's eyes were rolling, and his tail was still wagging. It looked like he was playing dead, but with zero commitment.

"Get up! Get your butts back!" Shen Luo yelled, completely losing it. Today was just pure humiliation!

Duoduo instantly leapt to his feet and bolted, tail between his legs, howling as he ran. Mengmeng darted after him, the two of them fleeing in a panic—nothing like the dramatic performance from seconds ago.

Shen Luo rolled his eyes hard. He couldn't believe those two were actually more outrageous than Ah Hua. They'd learned how to act now. Even Central Drama Academy grads might not be this good.

The shop owner handed Shen Luo two buns. "Take these back for the dogs. They worked hard for them, after all." He couldn't stop laughing either. With a funny story like that, more customers were sure to come in, so two buns was nothing.

Back at the clinic, the two dogs weren't hiding like Ah Hua usually did. Instead, they were playing like nothing had happened. When they saw Shen Luo, they froze for a second, then just went right back to playing like everything was cool. Totally shameless!

Since the buns were meant for the dogs, Shen Luo didn't try to sneak a bite for himself. He gave them to Duoduo and Mengmeng, and the dogs were so happy their tongues were practically dragging on the floor. Grinning like idiots, now they looked like the smiley Samoyeds they were supposed to be.

Later, Shen Luo found out that the ten yuan wasn't stolen—they'd picked it up at the park. Their doggy guts weren't big enough to actually steal from him. They might not understand what money really was, but they did know how much Shen Luo liked it.

What worried Shen Luo more was that not long after, a braised meat shop opened up nearby. The smell made people drool—and the sight of fresh, unprocessed meat made the dogs drool. Shen Luo figured he was in for more headaches in the future—White Bone Dao Temple style.

After two months of rest, the rescued sheepdog had fully recovered and was just waiting for its fur to grow back. It had a really sweet, gentle personality, and Shen Luo liked it a lot.

As for the blue-eyed cat, it was also recovering bit by bit. The wound was healing, so it didn't hurt as much anymore, and it wasn't crying as often. Once its fur grew back, Shen Luo thought the cat would be pretty good-looking. Its coat was unusual—white as the base, but with a yellowish layer on top. Its mouth and tail tip were black, while the rest was one consistent color. It had contrasting ends. And with its slim face, the cat's big eyes looked even more striking.

But the cat's meows had become unusually sultry. Before, they were full of pain—now they had a bit of a whiny, spoiled tone that made your heart tremble every time you heard it.

Shen Luo found a chance to ask the elementary schooler again, "Are you sure you want to take this cat home?"

The kid nodded without hesitation.

Shen Luo had thought that kids were usually fickle and quick to change their minds, but now it seemed like this one really did want to keep the cat.

He said, "If we count it as you rescuing the cat and bringing it to me, and now you're adopting it, we won't charge you for the medical treatment. But if it's your cat and you brought it here for treatment, then we do have to charge you."

The kid, usually calm, suddenly looked rattled. His voice shook a little. "How much?"

Shen Luo deliberately pulled out the calculator and tapped away. "Five thousand three hundred eighty."

The kid's body visibly twitched. "Then... then can we say I'm adopting it?"

"Sure. But you need your mom's permission."

The kid instantly went quiet.

Shen Luo felt kind of bad for him. Shy, introverted kids often had a tough environment growing up—usually school or family. This one had a quiet, gloomy vibe that made him worry the cat might end up abandoned again because of family issues.

"Bring your mom over. I'll talk to her, alright?"

The kid hesitated. If he wanted to just take the cat, he'd need over five grand—he didn't even have five bucks. But if he wanted to adopt, he had to get his mom's approval. It was a tough spot.

"This cat's almost recovered. If you don't decide soon, I'm going to post its info online for someone else to adopt. With eyes like his, I'm sure lots of people would want it—and treat it well." Shen Luo said it on purpose.

The kid immediately blurted out, "No! I want to keep it!"

"Then bring your mom."

Shen Luo felt kind of cruel—but there was no choice. If he didn't put his foot down now, the kid might try to raise the cat in secret, and in the end, the one who'd suffer most would be the cat.

Three days later, the kid finally brought his mom. Her face was full of anger—she clearly didn't want to be there.

"I'm telling you right now, we are not raising a cat. Don't think you can sweet-talk Chenyi, because that won't work on me!" The moment she walked in, she snapped.

Shen Luo didn't look at the kid at all—he just stared straight at the woman. She froze on the spot. Something about his eyes... they were kind of terrifying.
