And just like that, Shen Luo got roped into group pics with the crowd and Heige's crew.

At first, Shen Luo had kinda envied how popular Heige and the others were. But after getting pulled into photo after photo himself, he was about ready to lose it—his smile was frozen stiff.

Someone even said after snapping a pic, "Boss, I actually think you look pretty good. You just don't like putting effort into your appearance."

Shen Luo: ...

Wasn't that what people used to say about Xiao Chuan? And now it was getting thrown at him too?

Once again, he didn't make it out until nearly seven o'clock.

By the time he cleaned up and got back to the hospital, Shen Luo was still a little dazed. It felt like he'd suddenly gone viral.

Turns out, his fame spread even faster than he thought. Around 8 p.m., he got a call from the editor-in-chief of a magazine. She wanted him to write an article about the event and the whole competition process for their next issue—and she needed it fast.

Shen Luo's brain still hadn't caught up. "But I don't really have any deep thoughts. I just won first place and got some prize money, so I'm happy."

The editor on the other end sounded like she wanted to crawl through the phone and smack him. Seriously, what a blockhead.

"You've already taken three first places with the dogs from your clinic—don't you have any techniques or insights to share? Like, thoughts on bonding with pets, how to communicate with them, or even how you train them?"

Only then did Shen Luo finally get it—oh, what she meant was, she wanted him to share some kind of secret trick! But his "secret" was that he could actually communicate with animals. During training, he could get his message across to them clearly—but that wasn't exactly something he could explain to people.

Scratching the back of his head, Shen Luo said, "Alright, I'll give it a shot and try writing something."

Now that he'd agreed, the editor-in-chief finally let him off the hook. She said, "In a few days, I'll have one of our editors reach out to talk with you about the article. Make sure you're ready."

Before Shen Luo could say anything, she'd already hung up.

Shen Luo: ...

Once he'd gotten some rest, Shen Luo made a big bowl of food for Brother Hei and the gang. Those four had huge appetites—and other animals always came over to mooch too—so he made an extra-large batch this time. By the time he finished cooking, his arms were so sore he couldn't even lift them.

Zheng Jiamei came running over and said, "Boss, we're running out of our dog treats."

"How many do we have left?"

She flipped through her notes and said, "We won't even make it through tomorrow. A bunch of people pre-ordered them today."

"Pre-ordered? We offer that now?" Shen Luo was caught off guard.

Zheng Jiamei gave him an exasperated look and put down her notebook. "Didn't I tell you in the car earlier? Since you won a bunch of first places, everyone thinks you really know your stuff when it comes to raising dogs. So they all came to buy your dog treats. But we were already sold out, so they just threw down money to reserve some."

Shen Luo hadn't expected the celebrity effect to hit this hard. Just because Brother Hei, Ethan, and the rest won first place, people figured he must be some dog-raising expert—and therefore, the treats he made must be top tier? That was some impressive deductive reasoning.

Shen Luo said, "Alright, then let's sell what we've got tomorrow and skip the booth the day after."

There were only two days left in the event anyway. Tomorrow was the final dog competition—the beauty contest that Duoduo was entering. There were also two events for rodents and rabbits. The last day would just be the champions' exhibition.

Zheng Jiamei nodded. "Got it."

After finishing up her tasks, she headed home for the night. Shen Luo thought about how, because of the pet event, Zheng Jiamei had been working long hours every day—she looked like she'd even lost some weight. Wang Bo had been single-handedly managing the clinic, too. On top of doing pet checkups, giving shots, trimming nails, and giving baths, he also had to take care of the shop next door. He was probably exhausted. Yeah, it was time to reward them with a chicken each—give everyone a good meal.

Other places gave out gift cards, snacks, or household goods as bonuses. Boss Shen? He went his own way—handing out chickens.

That night, Shen Luo couldn't be bothered about anything like sharing a bed with Xiao Chuan or fighting over blankets. The moment his head hit the pillow, he was out cold. Sure enough, when he woke up the next morning, he was in Xiao Chuan's bed again.

Compared to the first time when he freaked out, Shen Luo was totally chill now. With his hair sticking up in a wild mess, he said to Xiao Chuan, "Morning!"

Xiao Chuan grinned back. "Morning."

After getting up, Shen Luo directed Heige and the others to catch four chickens. They'd been raising them for almost half a year, and they were finally plump and ready. The batch they started raising last year was starting to get old—meat not as tender anymore—but they were perfect as breeders. They could lay eggs and hatch chicks, and then those chicks could lay more eggs. The cycle would just keep going—endless generations of chickens.

As Shen Luo was thinking about finding the right time to have the hens start brooding, Xiao Chuan strolled over and said, "The chickens have grown pretty big now."

Shen Luo nodded. "These chickens grow fast in the wind—this is the best time to eat them."

Xiao Chuan said, "Can you catch one for me? I want to give it to Boss Jin."

Shen Luo thought about it and figured it was a good idea. Xiao Chuan had been working hard trying to negotiate with Jin Guodong, but things didn't seem to be moving much. A chicken wasn't exactly a fancy gift, but it showed effort, and it was simple enough to accept without any awkwardness.

He had Brother Hei catch a big hen for Xiao Chuan. Xiao Chuan hefted it in his hands and said, "Pretty heavy. How much is it?"

Shen Luo waved him off. "Come on, with our relationship? You really gonna pay me for a chicken? Don't make it weird."

"Our relationship, huh?" Xiao Chuan gave a small smile. "Alright then, if you say so, I won't be polite. Oh, when I head back, catch one for me to take with me."

Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat. He blurted out, "You're going back? When?"

Xiao Chuan said, "Not sure yet, but probably soon."

Shen Luo paused, then said, "Didn't think time flew by that fast."
