Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 133

Prev | Directory | Next

Ethan had tons of experience entertaining kids. There weren't many kids at the hospital, but there were always small animals, and Ethan was super popular with them. At the park, he played with random kids all the time. And during photo shoots, even when bratty kids tugged on his fur, Ethan just patiently endured it. No wonder he was such a hit with children.

Sure enough, during this shoot, Ethan worked with the two kids perfectly. They nailed the scene in one take.

Feeling everyone's admiring looks, Shen Huo couldn't help but feel a little proud. Ethan really was that awesome!

There was one more scene to film—a rainy day one. Originally, it was just the man picking up the woman during a rainstorm, showing how much he cared for his family. But after some discussion, they added a part for Ethan. He'd sit in the car the whole time, so that when the woman got in, she'd see him right there waiting.

Shen Huo didn't know exactly why, but he had to admit, the vibe really was better with Ethan in the car.

The whole shoot wasn't difficult, and they finished everything in one day. By the time they got back to the hospital, it was already past 7 p.m. Shen Huo had been with Ethan the whole way and felt pretty exhausted.

Ethan, on the other hand, was full of energy after a day of filming. As soon as they got back, he ran off to play with Elaine, rolling around and mock-biting each other, totally wrecking the single crowd.

Watching the two dogs chewing on each other, Shen Huo suddenly thought of Xiao Chuan, who even kissed people like he was biting them. He couldn't help but smile. He wondered what Xiao Chuan was doing now... and if he was thinking about him, too.

Dahua Advertising Agency was impressively efficient. The day after the shoot, they transferred Ethan's payment straight into Shen Huo's account: fifteen thousand in total—more than all the dog models from the children's clothing ad combined. Fame really did make a difference!

Not long after the commercial shoot, the magazine issue came out, and Shen Huo got a contributor's copy right away.

He had a photo in the magazine, too, though he hadn't bothered to dress up, so he looked pretty plain (okay, honestly—kinda dorky). The magazine's editor-in-chief had no issue with the photo, saying they wanted Shen Huo to present his most authentic self to the readers. The deputy editor even commented that his down-to-earth look would help people relate more to the hospital.

Shen Huo had agreed to all that at the time. But now that he saw the photo, all he wanted to do was pass out. What the hell was this?!

If someone he knew saw this, they'd laugh themselves to death. And worst of all, Xiao Chuan could never, ever be allowed to see it.

The rest of the spread was fine. The animals all looked great—adorable and photogenic. Which only made Shen Huo even more bitter. Why'd they have to make him look so bad?

His article came after several pages of interviews and took up a full page.

Staring at the printed text, Shen Huo felt a mix of emotions—there was definitely a strong sense of pride. Even though the piece had been written under Qiao Zhenmian's guidance and with Xiao Chuan's help, every word of it was still written by him.

He felt like he'd learned more writing that article than he ever had in language class.

What Shen Huo didn't expect was for that photo to get posted on Weibo by a fan—and alongside that ridiculous matchmaker sketch of him, too. He honestly wanted to bang his head against a wall.

"The boss looks so plain."

"He seems pretty honest."

"Come on, you guys are just trying to say he looks country—don't be polite. I'm sure the boss won't mind."

Shen Huo: ...

Whoever called him country, he was gonna fight them.

Of course, aside from the comments about Shen Huo's appearance, most of the chatter was praise for the pets. That was when everyone realized—turns out the animals from Shen Huo's place had won five awards, and four of them were first place.

"Honestly, if you ask me, Duoduo totally deserved first place. It's just that the boss didn't bother to give Duoduo a makeover."

"Clearly you don't know the full story. Boss Shen is seriously stingy. Expect him to spend money on grooming? Haha... he's tightfisted on the level of Huang Shiren!"

"Duoduo's style was great, though! So gentlemanly, so dashing! If I were a judge, I'd have definitely given him first."

Fans thought it was kind of a shame there was one award that wasn't first place—it made the whole thing feel just a little incomplete.

Shen Huo absolutely refused to accept what the fans were saying. Sure, he was stingy, but he never treated the animals poorly, okay? That "Huang Shiren" label was way off!

"If there were more competitions, the boss's animals would probably win even more awards. I remember he has an African Grey parrot at home—its talking skills are amazing."

"Yeah! I think if Ah Chou joined a cat obstacle course competition, she'd totally win first place!"

Ah Chou's story had made the rounds that day, and some fans still remembered her.

As for the fans' comments—Shen Huo accepted all of them... except the ones calling him stingy!

This time, the previously unknown Brother Hei and his crew had also gained fame. But they "debuted" as a group. Fans said that mutts could be pretty awesome too—take Brother Hei and his crew, for example.

Once fans heard that Brother Hei and the others helped Shen Huo watch the chickens, they praised them even more, saying they were super obedient. And they went back to calling Shen Huo "Huang Shiren" for overworking the dogs by making them guard chickens!

Shen Huo cried injustice. Sure, the dogs were "watching the chickens," but they were just hanging around the house, playing. Watching the chickens was more about keeping an eye out for chicken thieves or weasels—it didn't even take much effort!

Seriously, fans were the most unreasonable creatures ever.

After Shen Huo's matchmaker cartoon version went viral, someone also made a Huang Shiren-style cartoon version of him. The artist even said all the Shen Huo drawings were owned by Shen Huo himself, and he could use them however he wanted!

Shen Huo cursed under his breath—what the hell was that supposed to mean? How was he supposed to use that kind of image? Might as well go cry in the bathroom. Why couldn't they draw him as someone a little cooler? Like a powerful CEO, or some ultra-rich big shot or something!
