Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 139

Some folks even came to Shen Luo, hoping he'd help put in a word for them. But Shen Luo just dodged the question and didn't dare agree. He knew what kind of person Xiang Weiran was—if things didn't work out, it'd just ruin the relationship.

He went to check on the puppies—six little meatballs curled up in the dog bed, with Baobao watching over them, looking totally content.

Shen Luo came closer to look, and Baobao even gave his hand a lick. Dogs who trust someone are usually okay with them being around their pups. But if they don't trust you, they'll go straight for the bite. That's why mother dogs are extra aggressive during pregnancy and nursing, and you've gotta be really careful around them—especially not to show too much interest in the pups.

With Wang Bo around, Baobao and the puppies would be just fine, so Shen Luo went to check on the other animals.

The sparrow seemed a bit calmer now, but still couldn't relax with all the cats walking around the room. Luckily, its body was recovering well—it was eating and drinking normally. Sparrows were like that—one second they're fainting from fear, and the next, food shows up and they forget everything. In just a few days, it already looked like it had plumped up a bit.

The cat with the skin disease was healing too. Judging by how it acted, it had probably been someone's pet before—it had already been neutered and was super friendly. As soon as it saw a person, it'd flop over asking for pets.

Ah Fei and Mengmeng were doing fine too. Both of them looked like they were about to give birth soon.

Everything was going smoothly at the hospital, so Shen Luo could finally relax and collapse onto the couch.

The Akita came running over and plopped its head on Shen Luo's belly. That big ol' dog head actually had some weight to it, but the little prince just refused to move no matter what. Shen Luo had no choice but to let him be.

A few days after the pitbull puppies were born, Shen Luo's hospital was still packed with visitors. Some came specifically to see the pitbull pups. Normally Shen Luo would turn people away, but some folks were hard to refuse—like this Old Master Xing.

The first few times they met, it was always Shen Luo who went over to pay his respects. He didn't expect the old man to show up at his place this time.

"Old man, it's boiling hot out—what brings you here?"

The old man waved the paper fan in his hand and said, "That's why I came early in the morning. I'll head out once it cools off in the afternoon. You don't mind me getting in the way, do you?"

It wouldn't cool down till after five in the afternoon. Shen Luo silently wiped his sweat and quickly said, "Of course not! I'm more than happy to have you!"

Even if he didn't plan to ask this big shot for any favors later on, he couldn't afford to offend him. His son, who worked as a deputy director at a TV station, was actually considered the least successful one among his kids.

The old man didn't come alone—he brought another elderly man with him.

This other man was dressed way more simply, just a plain polo shirt. Though clearly up in age, he still looked ridiculously handsome.

Old Man Xing introduced him to Shen Luo. He was an old buddy, also retired. Besides raising birds, he liked keeping other animals too. Of course, cats and birds couldn't really coexist, so bird lovers usually didn't raise cats. This time, though, he was interested in getting a dog.

Shen Luo asked about his dog-raising experience. Turned out, he had raised several dogs before. One of them, a Rottweiler, had lived with him the longest—until it died of old age.

"Do you know what kind of dog you're thinking of getting this time?"

Someone of his status could easily get whatever kind of dog he wanted. If he showed up in person, he clearly had something in mind.

"Let's not beat around the bush," he said. "I heard your hospital just had a litter of pit bulls, and I was wondering if I could take one."

Shen Luo thought, figures. He just didn't expect so many people to know about Baby giving birth here.

Old Man Xing laughed and said, "Don't blame us for eyeing the dogs at your hospital—just lucky timing. We're not really the type to hang out online, but this old guy wanted a dog, so we looked online and happened to see your Weibo post that day. Looked pretty good, so we came over."

Shen Luo felt a little weird about that and couldn't help asking, "Old man, you follow our Weibo?"

Old Man Xing looked surprised. "Why not? Just 'cause I'm old, I can't use Weibo?"

Shen Luo sweatdropped and quickly said, "Of course not. I'm just surprised someone like you is among our followers."

Old Man Xing knew exactly what he meant and said, "Don't underestimate us just because we're old. We can do the same stuff you young people do. Your Weibo's not bad—I actually think it's pretty interesting."

Zheng Jiamei, listening nearby, beamed and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Old Man Xing said, "So it's you running it? Not bad at all."

Shen Luo added, "As for the dog, it's not really my call. She's only staying at our hospital 'cause she had puppies. You'll have to get the owner's permission. Why don't you two wait here for a bit—she usually comes by around five after work anyway."

Xiang Weiran's leave had ended, and she couldn't stay at the hospital 24/7 anymore. So now, she came by before and after work each day to check in.

The two elderly men had nothing better to do anyway, so they agreed to wait. Shen Luo started wondering if he should order a lunch spread from the restaurant.

Even though there was a lot going on at the hospital, Wang Wei and Wang Bo could handle things, so Shen Luo stayed to chat with the two old guys.

After a while, Shen Luo realized both of them might only be hobbyist pet owners, but they knew just as much about pets as he did. Seeing that the man genuinely knew how to raise dogs, Shen Luo felt relieved. He couldn't let Xiang Weiran's puppies get harmed because of him.

Big Horn came back from outside and, spotting the old man right away, flew over and said, "Yo, you're here!"

The old man chuckled and said, "Yeah, I'm here. Where've you been off to?"

Big Horn tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "No wolves*, only dogs."

The two old men burst out laughing, and Shen Luo couldn't help laughing along too. Big Horn really had the sense of humor of a jokester—but it made sense that he didn't get what "浪"* really meant.

(*Wolf: 狼 Láng; 浪 Làng: wandering, wave.)
