Shen Luo said, "Oh, give it a rest. Baobao just fell asleep. If you show up now, you'll just wake her up again. She had six—three of each color. They're all healthy. Let Wang Bo check them over for you tomorrow."

It was way too late for a single woman to be driving around alone, so of course Shen Luo tried everything to talk her out of it. Eventually, Xiang Weiran gave in and said she'd come over first thing in the morning.

The hospital gates were already locked for the night. Wang Wei told Shen Luo to go inside and get some proper sleep, but Shen Luo turned him down—he decided to just nap on the couch and head home during the day instead.

They took turns sleeping through the night, but Wang Wei ended up getting more rest. During the day, he likely wouldn't have time to nap, but he could always go home afterward and sleep it off.

Right around then, the Akita that had been curled up in the corner slowly made its way over and plopped itself right down on Shen Luo's lap. Shen Luo let out a long sigh—yep, no sleep for him tonight. The emotionally fragile Akita had fully activated its "delicate princess" mode and clearly needed some serious comforting.

Shen Luo held the Akita, and it nestled its big head right into his chest with the full "I'm a sad baby and I need cuddles" expression. Shen Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he just cradled the dog's head and gently stroked it.

Not long after, the Akita dozed off, half of its body still hanging off the couch. Shen Luo carefully lifted the rest of it up onto the cushions. The dog didn't wake up.

Holding onto the giant fluffball, Shen Luo resigned himself to surviving the long night. But just as he started to drift off a little—

SMACK.
He got slapped across the face.

Dazed and confused, Shen Luo blinked awake to see the Akita also groggily looking at him, then sneezing—twice.

Shen Luo: ...

He tried to move the dog over to the long couch so he could squeeze onto the short one himself, but the Akita wasn't having it. It kept sticking close to him like a shadow. Shen Luo gave up and sat back down on the long couch, letting the dog rest its head on his lap again.

With a giant dog head resting on him, Shen Luo leaned against the armrest and held his own head up, fighting sleep. He stayed like that till dawn. Thankfully, the Akita didn't dream again, and no more sleepwalking either.

By the time the sun rose, Shen Luo's whole body was numb. He sat there for ages, too stiff to even move.

Xiang Weiran showed up not long after—it was barely light out. She stormed inside and went straight to check on Baobao. She was gone so long that in the end, Shen Luo had to go in and drag her out.

"All good now, right?" he said. "Six puppies. All of them super healthy."

Xiang Weiran nodded with a serious, almost mother-in-law-like expression, as if her own daughter had just given birth, mom and babies were safe, and the daughter had finally secured her place in the household. On an unmarried young woman, the vibe was a bit ridiculous.

Shen Luo asked curiously, "Any plans yet for the pups?"

"Not yet," Xiang Weiran replied. "A bunch of people have said they want one, but I can't bear to give them away. I'm scared they won't take care of them properly. But I am saving one for my cousin."

Her cousin was Liu Yunfeng.

Which actually worked out perfectly. If Liu Yunfeng married Li Jinzhu, they wouldn't have to bring King Kong over as a wedding gift—raising a brand-new pit bull together would be a much better symbol for their new little family.

Around eight o'clock, Zheng Jiamei and Wang Bo showed up too. When they heard the puppies were already born, they were all super excited and ran straight in to see them.

Shen Luo told Wang Bo about how the delivery went, then packed up and went home to sleep.

With Hei Bro and the others guarding the place, things should be fine.

Shen Luo brought the Akita home with him to sleep. After pouring some kibble for Brother Hei and the rest, he washed up quickly and climbed into bed. The Akita didn't hesitate—just jumped onto the bed and fell asleep, even squeezed in close to Shen Luo.

By the time Shen Luo woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon. Nothing like a good nap to feel fresh and recharged.

He got up, ate a little something, and just then, a call from Xiao Chuan came in.

Shen Luo held the Akita's head while talking on the phone with Xiao Chuan. "The puppies were born last night. I was just about to leave when it started, so I stayed and saw the whole thing through."

Baobao and King Kong were basically matchmade by Shen Luo and Xiao Chuan—it was their first official matchmaking gig. That made this pair feel a bit special to both of them.

"Is everything good?"

"Yeah, all good. Even though it was Baobao's first time, she carried well and the birth went great."

Xiao Chuan said, "That's great. I really wanna see the pups."

Shen Luo filled him in on the puppy situation. Then Xiao Chuan said, "My dad's been wanting a dog lately, but he doesn't know what kind. If it's a regular dog, he probably won't be into it. Think you could ask Xiang Weiran to give us one of the pups?"

Shen Luo said, "I'll talk to her about it. Shouldn't be a problem."

Couldn't possibly be stingy about something like that, right?

Xiao Chuan laughed and said, "Alright, I'll talk to my dad. Oh yeah, those chickens I brought back last time—my mom said they were really good."

Shen Luo scratched the back of his head awkwardly and said, "Glad she liked them."

Xiao Chuan's family was something Shen Luo always had a hard time facing. Whatever the future held for the two of them would depend on how the Xu family's parents felt. But with such a huge family business, it's not like the Xu family could go without an heir, and there's no way the parents wouldn't want grandkids.

Every time Shen Luo thought about that, he just felt a little defeated.

After talking to Xiao Chuan, Shen Luo decided he'd carefully pick out a puppy for Xu's Dad.

It was already dark, so Shen Luo ended up not going to the hospital that day. Instead, he tidied up the house, tossing out all the broken and useless stuff.

There was a nice bed set up in the house, but the room without any renovations looked especially old and worn.

After cleaning, Shen Luo grabbed the eggs from home and used a flashlight to check them. The ones with black spots or lines went in one pile, the clean ones in another. He was planning to let the hens hatch some chicks.
