Chapter 105 A Familiar Dog
Chapter 105 A Familiar Dog
It was obvious that Xu Youyou's house was only a few minutes away from the Song family, and it was broad daylight, but both Song Zhibai and Lu Jingyao insisted on personally sending Xu Youyou home.
"I really don't need anyone to send me off." Xu Youyou couldn't count how many times she said this.
She came to visit the Song family today. Since she was staying in the community and had no plans to go out, she gave her bodyguard and Xu Fang a day off, so she looked like she was alone compared to usual.
Lu Jingyao said confidently, "There are a lot of naughty kids in the neighborhood. I'm afraid they'll bump into you."
Song Zhibai also racked his brains to find an excuse: "There are a lot of dogs in the community, and some people don't leash them. It's quite dangerous."
After saying this, the two grown men looked at each other, and sparks flew in the air.
Xu Youyou was so upset that she almost thought she was living in a restricted area. There were dangers everywhere within a few hundred meters.
"First, I'm not afraid of naughty kids. Second, I'm not afraid of dogs either," said Xu Youyou.
Lu Jingyao seemed to be reminded and said, "I remember you seemed to have a dog. People who keep dogs are indeed not afraid of dogs."
Xu Youyou nodded. She thought that after she said this, the two temporary bodyguards would be able to go home.
But Lu Jingyao, who was not good at interacting with girls, was inspired by these words and instantly found a common topic: "I also had a dog, but unfortunately, the person who took care of it was negligent for a moment, and the dog disappeared."
Xu Youyou said, "You don't look like someone who would raise a dog."
Lu Jingyao has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it has always been quite obvious. Xu Youyou finds it hard to imagine him playing crazily with the dog.
Lu Jingyao smiled bitterly and said, "My grandmother gave it to me. She listened to a master who said that my luck was bad this year and that getting a pet could help my luck. So she looked everywhere and gave me a puppy. I had been keeping it in my house in Gusu, but one day it suddenly disappeared. I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked, and I don't know if it's doing well now."
What Lu Jingyao didn't say was that the fortune teller also said that this dog could help him find his true love.
Although the dog is gone now, he has escaped danger and met a girl he really likes abroad. He doesn't know whether the credit can be attributed to the puppy.
Xu Youyou thought of the cute and well-behaved Guaiguai. If Guaiguai was missing, she would definitely be very anxious. She immediately felt more sympathy for him: "Being lost may not be a bad thing. Maybe he is lucky enough to meet a kind owner and is still alive and well."
Lu Jingyao nodded: "I hope so."
Song Zhibai had never raised a dog before, and at this moment he felt a subtle sense of being excluded, but he quickly found his own rhythm, lowered his head slightly, and said, "That's great! When I was a child, I wanted to have a dog, but they didn't agree..."
Song Zhibai already looked like a fragile beauty vase, and now he was pretending to be pitiful, which made people feel particularly distressed.
Xu Youyou thought that Song's mother was a very open-minded mother, so the person who disagreed with him keeping a dog was most likely Mrs. Shen or Father Shen.
The family they met yesterday, Old Mrs. Shen was old-fashioned and difficult to deal with, and Shen Yiren was also arrogant. Xu Youyou could imagine how much grievances a fragile person like Song Zhibai had suffered in the Shen family in the past.
"You can make your own decision now. Keep it if you want." Xu Youyou comforted.
Song Zhibai's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it. Raising a dog is like raising a child. If you can't accompany it for a long time, it will feel wronged."
Xu Youyou suddenly felt guilty. She had been running around everywhere recently and hadn't really spent much time with Guaiguai. It was the housekeeper who walked the dog every day.
"I want to see your dog, can I?" Song Zhibai requested.
Lu Jingyao's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively thought that Song Zhibai was pretending, but Xu Youyou actually fell for it.
"Of course, although Guaiguai is an ordinary little local dog and not a rare breed, it is really cute and fun..." Xu Youyou talked nonstop when she mentioned her dog.
Lu Jingyao watched Song Zhibai and Xu Youyou chat more and more happily. He did not sit still and wait for death. He tried to join them and lowered his head like Song Zhibai: "Ever since I lost Ah Huang, I dare not keep other pets."
Xu Youyou's expression was indeed moved.
But Song Zhibai said casually: "If I had a pet, I would never lose it. If I really lost it, I would regret it for the rest of my life, and it would become a wound in my heart that I dare not mention."
Lu Jingyao: ...Boy, what are you talking about?
Lu Jingyao refused to give in: "If I were a grown man, I would never be sad because of such a small thing as not being able to keep a pet."
Xu Youyou watched as the tension between the two people escalated again, and she felt overwhelmed for a moment. She could only be thankful that the distance was close enough. If it was farther, she was afraid that the two would fight.
As soon as she returned home, Xu Youyou couldn't wait to take the two of them into the dog room, hoping that they could go home after seeing the dog.
The house is big enough, and Xu Youyou is generous to Guaiguai, so she directly asked someone to convert another suite of over 100 square meters into a dog room.
The room is covered with soft carpet on the floor and is surrounded by various toys. The side is also connected to an outdoor terrace of more than 100 square meters, ensuring that Guaiguai has enough space to move around.
As soon as Guaiguai saw Xu Youyou, he trotted over and complained, "Woof woof! Master, you went out without me again today!"
When Guaiguai first followed Xu Youyou, he was as thin as skin and bones. Now, after several months of feeding, he has completely turned into a little pig-dog, and he looks very heavy when he runs.
Xu Youyou's face froze, pretending she didn't understand what the dog was saying. She smiled and asked, "Have you been good at home today? Did you have fun? We are good little dogs, and we won't cause any trouble for Auntie."
Guaiguai gave Xu Youyou a strange look and continued to bark at her: "Woof woof, poop scooper, don't change the subject! The poop scooper who doesn't take me out with him is a big bad guy!"
Xu Youyou patted the dog's head and said, "Watch less of those messy cartoons."
There is a huge TV in Guaiguai’s room. He especially likes to watch a cartoon called “Super Hero King Dog” and he always watches it with great attention.
At first, Xu Youyou was worried that the dog would damage its eyesight if it became addicted to watching TV.
But as soon as the TV is turned off, Guaiguai will roll on the ground and scream.
This made Aunt Liu, who was responsible for taking care of Guaiguai, very anxious.
"Miss Xu, the baby doesn't have to study, so just let him watch TV if he wants to." Aunt Liu advised.
Xu Youyou was actually persuaded by this aunt who doted on the puppy so much. After all, it didn't matter if the puppy became nearsighted. But it would be a big deal if the puppy became depressed because of quitting watching cartoons.
Guaiguai's eyes rolled around at this moment, and he said proudly: "Woof woof! This king loves to watch, and he wants to watch all the time!"
Xu Youyou was both angry and amused.
"This...this dog...looks familiar..."
Lu Jingyao spoke hesitantly. If he hadn't raised Ah Huang for a while, it would be really hard for him to connect this fat little dog with Ah Huang.
