He picked out over fifty eggs—figured even with a conservative estimate, he should get around thirty chicks out of them, which would be enough. Then he stored away the rest of the eggs.

When he turned around, he saw the Akita staring at him.

Shen Luo felt weird. Something about the Akita looked off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Once he finished with the eggs, he went to do other stuff, and the Akita didn't follow him around like usual.

Around eight-something, the Akita's original owner's daughter called to ask how things were going. Shen Luo said the dog was doing fine, just really clingy.

The woman sighed over the phone and said, "As long as he's doing well with you, that's good. He's always been clingy. I hope you can understand. If he's being a bit of a hassle, I'm really sorry."

Shen Luo chuckled and said, "No need to be so polite."

After hanging up, Shen Luo stared at the phone for a while, still feeling weird. The Akita wasn't even sticking to him now, which was so unlike him.

Shen Luo quietly stepped outside to check, and sure enough, the guy was sneaking looks left and right. When he saw Shen Luo, he immediately acted like everything was totally normal.

That made Shen Luo even more suspicious.

He walked over, grabbed the dog's head, and checked left and right. Nothing seemed wrong.

As soon as Shen Luo touched its chin, the Akita opened its mouth—and spat out an egg!

Shen Luo: !!!

No wonder this guy was acting so weird—turns out it was feeling guilty!

Shen Luo smacked it on the head and scolded it hard, "Steal eggs when you're young, steal nukes when you grow up! You hear me, you dumb dog? Next time I catch you again, I'll make you lay two eggs to make up for it!"

There was no way Shen Luo was gonna let it slide just 'cause the dog was in a bad mood. Sure, emotions were one thing, but discipline was still necessary.

As expected, the Akita started ignoring Shen Luo.

Shen Luo took the egg back. Like he cared if the dog was ignoring him!

Before bed, Shen Luo took out a few dozen eggs and made a big pot of boiled eggs. He handed them out to all the animals. Some of the smarter ones peeled them on their own, and for the not-so-smart ones, Shen Luo gave them a hand. The whole room filled with the smell of boiled eggs.

The Akita lay at the doorway, watching Shen Luo, and soon enough, its drool was practically dripping.

Shen Luo was both annoyed and amused. When there was only one egg left, the Akita locked eyes with him, staring like its life depended on it. Shen Luo glanced at him and started peeling the egg. The Akita immediately sat up, tongue out, panting eagerly, looking super excited.

Shen Luo finished peeling the egg slowly and looked over at the Akita. The dog lit up and bounded over happily, steps light and joyful.

Shen Luo let out a smug hum and popped the egg into his own mouth. One bite, and the golden yolk peeked through.

The Akita froze—one paw still mid-air—and just stared, eyes glued to Shen Luo's mouth, watching every chew and every swallow. Then it gulped down its own spit.

Shen Luo laughed to himself. What a dumb dog.

Just as he was about to take a second bite, the Akita let out a dramatic howl and collapsed onto the floor, looking super pitiful, like a wilting cabbage.

Shen Luo: ...

So it really was just about food. Dignity? What's that?

He took another bite, finished the yolk, and there was only a small chunk of egg white left.

"You want some too?"

"Awwooo awwooo!" I do! I do!

"Then why didn't you say anything when I asked?"

Before boiling the eggs, Shen Luo had actually asked out loud. All the other cats and dogs got super excited, barking and meowing like crazy. But the Akita had still been mad at him, so it didn't respond, and Shen Luo just boiled eggs based on headcount.

The Akita was stunned. Wasn't he the one who was supposed to be coaxed when he was angry? This script felt all wrong!

Shen Luo gave the dog's head a few regretful pats and said, "Next time if you wanna eat, make sure you speak up. Otherwise I'll just think you're not hungry."

'Who says I'm not hungry?! Eggs are delicious—how could I not want some?!' The Akita argued furiously in his head.

"When you're mad you don't eat, when you're upset you don't eat, when you're sick you don't eat—there are so many reasons you might not want to eat. I can't force you, right?"

There was no way the Akita could win a logic battle with Shen Luo, so it just lay on the ground and whined. Eggs, oh eggs...

Shen Luo held out the last bit of egg white and said, "Look, there's only this little piece left. Wanna eat it? Sigh, I was gonna eat it myself, you know."

The Akita glanced at Shen Luo, whimpered, then ate the egg white.

Shen Luo gave its head a good rub. The Akita wasn't mad anymore!

See, that's how sneaky Shen Luo was. He ate the Akita's egg, but the Akita still thought it'd been gifted Shen Luo's egg and was now full of gratitude.

Brother Hei and the others just shook their heads. So naive. Living with Shen Luo meant no being a pampered little prince. You had to pull your weight—like guarding the chickens.

These days, the Akita really had been in a much better mood. Sure, sometimes it still got a little down, but it wasn't acting like it wanted to die or refusing to eat and drink like before.

After resting at home for a whole day, Shen Luo finally headed back to the hospital.

Turned out, lots of people came to visit after Baobao gave birth. Besides Li Jinzhu and Liu Yunfeng, even Aunt Chen and the others showed up. And of course, King Kong was right there, lying next to Baobao, licking her, licking the puppies. The whole little family looked super cozy.

Shen Luo found a chance to talk to Xiang Weiran about the puppy. Xiang Weiran said, "Since it's you asking, of course I won't say no. Let's wait till the puppies are a bit older. Will they treat the pup well?"

Shen Luo said, "It's for Xiao Chuan's dad. I think it should be fine."

Xiang Weiran said, "Alright then, I trust you guys."

Shen Luo felt a little touched.

Li Jinzhu also bought some nutritional milk powder for Baobao—after all, one of the puppies would eventually belong to her and Liu Yunfeng.

Baobao giving birth actually drew quite a bit of attention. Pitbulls were still a relatively rare breed, and some people wanted one just for the novelty. But Xiang Weiran wasn't someone that easy to deal with. If she didn't like someone, she'd turn them down flat. Because of that, the prices people were offering for her puppies kept climbing.
