Chapter 158: The Fate of Two Dogs
Since he has not yet decided whether to keep this Labrador, Liu Sanlang only bought a bag of dog food and came back. If he decides to keep it, it will not be too late to buy other useful things. In the taxi, he was afraid that it would urinate and defecate in the air box, so he kept staring at it. Fortunately, it did not do such an embarrassing thing to him.
Back home, Liu Sanlang opened the flight case and let it out.
His house is not rented, but a commercial house bought with a loan. It is a small and medium-sized apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. His parents helped him settle some of the down payment, and he repays the mortgage every month. He is very fortunate that he bought the house early, because now the housing price has risen again, and if he didn't buy it then, he can't afford it now. The pressure of the mortgage is not small, but at least it is to own a house of your own.
Like other older men and young men, Liu Sanlang often actively or passively participates in various blind dates. A stable job and a house, these two points are not a small advantage in the endless blind date activities. However, due to his relatively introverted and dull personality, girls who have high requirements for life interest look down on him, and girls who like him, he looks down on... This is embarrassing. In addition, it cannot be denied that Shishi always holds a place in his heart, as long as Shishi does not find a boyfriend, he will not give up completely.
Considering that he may need to redecorate after getting married, his house has only been simplified at present, with floor tiles laid, walls painted, and furniture, beds and so on are just some cheap goods.
The Labrador got out of the air box, stared at this strange world with wide eyes, whimpered a few times, and looked at Liu Sanlang again. He rubbed its head lightly, "Go and play."
As if it understood what he said, it took a step forward and trotted. First, it sniffed the smell and ran to the kitchen. When it found that there was nothing to eat, it ran to the balcony. Its two front paws rested on the protective railing and looked out. Looking around, flicking his tail quickly while watching, his nose was stuck to the glass. The balcony of this house is fully enclosed, Liu Sanlang is not afraid of it accidentally falling down.
He walked into the kitchen, and there was an empty cardboard box on the counter. It was an online shopping box.
He took the cardboard box to the balcony, and the Labrador looked back at him.
"Come on, little one, come in." He picked it up and put it in the carton.
Its front paws rest on the cardboard box, trying to crawl out. He held it down to prevent it from crawling out, "Wait a minute, I'll take some pictures for you."
He took out his mobile phone, let go of his hand, took a few quick photos before it ran out, checked it and was satisfied.
"Okay, you can play whatever you want."
One of the photographs is a good one, showing the Labrador staring pathetically at the camera with his mouth open and his tongue sticking out.
He clicked on Shishi's profile picture from the contact list, hesitated for a while, and then sent the photo cruelly, and attached a message: Someone abandoned a puppy at my door, what should I do? I don't know how to raise a dog.
After clicking "Send", his heart was beating fast, sweat was breaking out on his forehead, and he felt a sense of collapse in his heart that he would "die or die".
I don't know how long it will take for Shishi to reply this time. He put down his phone, and when he turned around, he found something on the clean floor—yellow, soft, and fresh-looking...
"Damn! You defecate everywhere!"
The Labrador didn't know what he did wrong, instead he squatted behind the hot shit and looked at him as if he was asking for credit, as if he was waiting for his reward and encouragement.
Looking at this pile of shit, Liu Sanlang couldn't help feeling sick and bored. The point wasn't this shit, but thinking that there might be more troubles in the future, he retreated a little, and his previously feverish mind gradually calmed down.
Why don't you send it back while you just bought it?
Wanting to rely on dogs to attract Shishi is quite whimsical.
He sighed, went to find a piece of waste newspaper, and the small shovel used in the decoration, endured the nausea and shoveled shit on the newspaper, folded the newspaper, and wrapped it with another newspaper. He got a damp rag and cleaning solution and cleaned the floor.
"Don't pull any more!" he warned, pointing to its nose.
"Huh?" It tilted its head and didn't understand.
"Forget it, I'll take you back tomorrow."
He threw the small shovel and rag into the sink and washed his hands.
While wiping his hands, the phone beeped.
He picked up the phone and unlocked it.
"what?"
Shishi's reply: Very cute! so lucky? Can you still find a dog?
His fingers trembled excitedly, and he wrote back immediately: But I have never raised a dog!
Shishi: I have never raised a dog before, can I just learn it? Don't you claim that there are no computers that cannot be repaired? Raising a dog can't be more complicated than that, can it?
Liu Sanlang stared at the screen in disbelief and counted several times. Not counting punctuation, 35 characters! This is the longest message that Shishi has ever sent him! It was for a dog!
His thinking speed instantly increased to the limit. If there was a cooling fan in his brain, it must have been spinning so fast that it would be smoking. He evasively replied: I'm not good at getting along with animals... After thinking about it, let's put it back in a cardboard box and send it back to the original place, hoping that someone with good intentions will take it in... Sigh, it seems that the weather forecast says that there will be rain at night. Autumn rain...it's supposed to be cool, hope someone can pick it up before it starts to rain.
Shishi replied almost instantly: Don't do this, it's too cruel! It will freeze to death!
Liu Sanlang's face revealed the excitement of the scheme's success, and he replied: "Then what should we do?" How about I send Shishi to you and you come to raise her?
After a while, Shishi replied: No, I don’t have time, and my rental contract clearly states that pets such as cats and dogs are not allowed.
Could it be that she was looking for a rental contract just now? How else can you be so sure? Liu Sanlang thought about it, he hoped so. If this is the case, at least it proves that Shishi is a little bit excited.
He replied: I have time...
Shishi replied in seconds: Because you are an otaku.
Heartbroken, girl!
Liu Sanlang hastily replied: I mean, I'm a bit of a nerd and have time, so... Can Shishi teach me how to raise a dog? You don't need to raise it, just teach me how to do it!
Time passed by, and he clutched his phone nervously, his heart beating frighteningly fast.
The Labrador wandered around the room, then came back to him with his tongue out, looking at him expectantly, as if saying: Come and play!
"Wait a minute." He said to it seriously, "The next message will determine the fate of our two dogs... Bah bah! I'm not a dog, I'm being paced by that idiot store manager!"
Ten minutes passed, Shi Shi still did not reply. However, Liu Sanlang's patience has already been honed. The previous average of Shishi's reply time was 53 minutes. Waiting for ten minutes is not a problem at all.
With a beep sounding, the screen suddenly lit up.
Shishi: I went to Baidu, the dog I picked up, you'd better deworm and vaccinate it first.
Liu Sanlang hesitated for a moment. The idiot store manager told him that this Labrador had been dewormed and vaccinated, but he couldn't reply like that.
He replied: OK, I see, I will vaccinate it tomorrow. and then?
Shishi: Then take good care of it.
He replied: Where to start?
Shishi replied in seconds: You are so stupid! Do you have a wooden head?
He replied cheekily: I am stupid, please advise.
Another long wait.
He was patient, but the Labrador didn't have that much patience. He trotted away, not knowing what to do.
After about 20 minutes, the phone screen turned on again.
Shishi: Ah! So annoying!
Seeing these four words, he suddenly fell into an ice cave!
Sure enough? Shishi usually ignores him, but this is the first time she explicitly calls out to him.
He was completely desperate, threw his phone aside, collapsed on the bed, buried his face in the pillow, and silently licked the wound of broken love. Forget it, next time on a blind date, as long as the other party doesn't refuse, I will agree with my eyes closed, no matter what he looks like, whether he likes it or not, just be anyone, maybe he can forget about Shishi...he thought so.
The phone rang again.
He knew that he would definitely not be able to write poems, so he lay motionless on the bed, just wanting to fall asleep like this. Maybe, when I wake up tomorrow morning, everything will end like a dream.
Suddenly, his feet were licked by something, which made him sit up in shock.
It turned out that the Labrador came over again, staring at his feet and licking his tongue.
"I forgot that you are still here..." He laughed at himself, "I can't just sleep like this today, let's send you back to the pet shop... I'm sorry, I'm an owner with impure motives, I hope you don't blame me .”
He stood up from the bed, subconsciously picked up the phone and put it in his pocket.
Thinking about the notification tone just now, he took out his phone and turned on the screen again, trying to see if it was something about work.
Shishi: So annoying! I typed a lot of words and deleted them carefully! Well, where do you live? When Miss Ben has time, I will go over and give you a few pointers.
Liu Sanlang's wooden and clay sculptures usually stare at the phone screen. He knew every word on the screen, but he couldn't read them together. It was like when he stepped into the code world for the first time. A few lines of simple English letters, combined with magical power, attracted him. To explore its mysteries. The same is true of Shishi's words... No, the magic power is even several times that of those codes, and it can change the color of the world and the appearance of mountains and rivers!
The phone rang again, bringing him back to his senses.
Shishi: What? unwilling? If you don't want to, forget it!
Liu Sanlang moved his fingers frantically, typed out his address with such force that he almost smashed the screen, and attached: I was just searching for the nearest vaccination location!
Shishi replied quickly: So you live here, luckily it's not too far away. Just wait, maybe one day will pass, anyway, you are an otaku, so there is no need to notify you in advance.
He quickly replied: Yes, you can come anytime!
Shishi didn't write any more letters after that, but Liu Sanlang was already satisfied.
Despair and happiness, there is only one message away.
He looked at this commercial house whose loan had not yet been repaid. This was the first time that a lovely girl would set foot here.
The Labrador tilted his head, staring at the candidate owner who was alternately sad and joyful, his face full of bewilderment.
He patted its head: "It's okay, when you become an adult, you will understand the pain of a single dog."
