Shen Luo could only feel helpless. He'd already told her a bunch of things to keep in mind, but it seemed like she hadn't really listened.

Since Xiang Weiran wanted Baobao to stay at the hospital, Shen Luo just went along with it. He'd make a little extra money anyway.

Once they settled on a time for Baobao's stay, Xiang Weiran let out a big sigh of relief.

"There's one more thing I want to thank you for!"

"What is it?"

Xiang Weiran grinned. "It's about my cousin. He and Jinzhu made it official—they're dating now!"

Shen Luo said in surprise, "What, now? I thought they were already together ages ago!"

Even someone like Shen Luo, who wasn't into gossip, could tell there was something going on between those two. He'd always assumed they were already a couple, just hadn't said it out loud.

Xiang Weiran said, "So you noticed too, huh? They were being awkward with each other before. But now it's all good. You're basically their matchmaker, so thank you."

Shen Luo hadn't expected to accidentally play matchmaker. He actually had a bit of experience matchmaking for pets—he'd already paired up a few. Of course, those were usually because the owners wanted dogs of the same breed, and those breeds were pretty common, so it wasn't too hard. But with Boabao and King Kong, Shen Luo had definitely put in the most effort.

"This... if anyone should be saying thanks, it should be them, not you."

The two of them chatted for a bit before hanging up. Shen Luo then remembered—there was still a big tiger waiting on him to find a mate. Ugh, what a headache. The tiger's owner had already given him a 100,000 yuan deposit, and promised another 100,000 once it was done. But seriously, where was he supposed to find a privately owned tiger besides a zoo? Matchmaking money wasn't that easy to earn after all.

Before Baobao gave birth, the hedgehog started showing signs first.

Hedgehogs had to be handled with extra care during delivery. You couldn't disturb them or even watch, because it could make the mother hedgehog anxious or uncomfortable.

Shen Luo had already prepped a box with clean, soft towels inside. A few days before the delivery, the mother hedgehog had already gotten used to her "delivery room," and she seemed pretty content with it. So when she climbed into the box herself and started giving birth, Shen Luo made sure no one bothered her.

Right before the delivery, Wang Wei went to check on her as usual—only to get bitten hard by the mother hedgehog. She clamped down right on him and drew blood, showing just how fierce she was before giving birth.

Shen Luo brought her some food, which she actually ate—having enough energy was important for the process.

After she'd had her fill, Shen Luo closed the door and left her alone to give birth.

When he figured enough time had passed, Shen Luo sneaked in to check. Sure enough, there were several little pink blobs in the delivery box, with soft spines barely poking out of their backs.

Even though he'd done a ton of research beforehand, it was Shen Luo's first time seeing newborn hedgehogs in real life, and he found it all incredibly fascinating.

The mother hedgehog was curled around them, licking one after another. She looked genuinely happy.

Shen Luo counted—there were four little ones in total. The mother hedgehog looked slimmer too, probably because she'd "unloaded" her belly.

As a new mom, she needed extra care. Since the babies would be nursing, they had to make sure she had enough milk.

So Shen Luo prepared boiled eggs, mealworms, and other high-protein foods for her, and she ate it all eagerly.

Zheng Jiamei nagged Shen Luo for ages before he finally let her into the room to take a quick look and snap a few pictures.

Thankfully, the mother hedgehog didn't mind people looking—just didn't like being touched.

With the babies safely delivered, Shen Luo finally relaxed. He took out his notebook to jot down his experience as a makeshift midwife, figuring it might come in handy someday.

"Boss, are we going to release the baby hedgehogs back into the wild, or keep them here at the hospital?" Wang Wei asked. He'd grown quite fond of them, despite getting bitten by their mom earlier.

Shen Luo thought about it. "Let's see what the mom wants."

The mother hedgehog would definitely be released—she'd originally come from the wild. But they didn't know if she'd take the babies with her.

Wang Wei nodded.

It wasn't hard to care for two hedgehogs at the hospital. They didn't eat much, and as long as you cleaned regularly, they didn't smell bad either.

News of the hedgehog giving birth didn't spread, and the babies weren't meant to be adopted out.

Once everything with the hedgehogs was settled, Dahua Advertising Company contacted Shen Luo—they wanted to meet Ethan.

Ethan had been living his best life lately, spending every day with his "girlfriend." Shen Luo had even given her a new name: Elaine. Just hearing it, you'd know she was meant to be with Ethan.

Luckily, Ethan hadn't forgotten Shen Luo just because he'd gotten a girlfriend. Shen Luo was pretty satisfied with that.

The company said they'd send someone to check out Ethan's situation, and Shen Luo was fine with that.

Three people showed up—apparently the main planners for the ad campaign.

The moment they saw Ethan, they were all super impressed. He was big and looked amazing.

"Boss, can Ethan understand commands?" one of them asked.

Shen Luo said, "He probably understands... but he won't listen to just anyone."

That shut them up real quick.

Shen Luo patted a chair. "Ethan, up."

Ethan gave a light hop and landed on the chair, sitting calmly and looking at Shen Luo. Shen Luo continued, "Go get my notebook and bring it to me."

Ethan jogged into the room and brought out Shen Luo's notebook—and not a single drop of drool on it.

The few of them exchanged glances. This dog was super smart, and if he was willing to cooperate, the shooting would definitely turn out great.

So the woman said, "Boss, if we use your dog for the shoot, will you be on set?"

Shen Luo said, "I probably can, but it depends on whether I've got time."

He wasn't being tsundere—hospitals really were hectic, and there were some things that only he could handle.

"Scheduling can be negotiated. We can set a time with you in advance, and you just clear your schedule."

Shen Luo thought about it and ended up agreeing—because the advertising fee they offered was seriously tempting! Just thinking about the fee made him feel it was worth it!
