Chapter 7: Majestic and Impressive
It was a new day, and Lin Xia first took the little hamster for a checkup. The preliminary examination results showed that the little hamster suffered from severe malnutrition, but everything else was fine.
After leaving the hospital, Lin Xia took the little hamster and Tuan Tuan to the pet shop.
At the pet shop, Lin Xia and the little hamster went upstairs to check on the kitten.
“Meow meow meow~” The kitten, having received treatment, had regained its spirits. Seeing its owner and the doctor who saved it, the kitten meowed softly.
“Meow…” Seeing his beloved cat, the little hamster was also happy to interact with the kitten.
“It seems to be recovering well.” Lin Xia observed the kitten’s condition for a while and drew a conclusion.
“Let’s have some milk first.” Injured kittens are best given liquid food.
Lin Xia prepared some goat’s milk and brought it to the kitten’s mouth.
The kitten smelled the sweet milky scent and quickly nibbled on the nipple and began to suckle.
“Slow down, no one’s going to take it from you.” Lin Xia said with a smile.
“I need to go downstairs to feed the other animals, you can help with the kitten’s bottle.” Lin Xia handed the bottle to the little hamster and went downstairs to feed the pets.
“Lin Ge, morning, An An morning!” The first person to come for his part-time job this morning was again Wang Ziyu, because there was delicious and free breakfast.
“Ziyu, morning. Today’s breakfast is mushroom and lean pork porridge, it’s in the warmer.” Lin Xia said.
“Aowu!” Good morning, Brother Ziyu!
“Haha, Lin Ge, I love you the most.” Wang Ziyu happily rushed to the warmer, and upon opening it, he smelled the aroma of mushrooms.
“Weifeng, slow down.” A deep, resonant male voice grew closer, accompanied by a seemingly silly-looking husky, happily wagging its tail and rushing into the pet shop. Behind it, its owner helplessly pulled on the leash, trying to slow it down.
“Weifeng is here.” As soon as Weifeng entered, he saw Lin Xia and frantically wagged his tail and shook his head at Lin Xia.
“Hello.” Weifeng’s owner was called Li Hao. He had a particularly fierce appearance, like a gangster boss, but he was in a legitimate business.
As soon as Li Hao entered, he looked around, seemingly searching for something.
“Hello.” Lin Xia replied, “What brings you and Weifeng here today?”
“Check-up and grooming.” Not seeing the person he wanted to see, Li Hao felt very disappointed, but his face remained expressionless.
“I’ll check Weifeng first, then let Ziyu help with the grooming.”
After Lin Xia finished speaking, he noticed the corner of Li Hao’s stoic mouth slightly upturned. “Okay.”
“Weifeng!” Wang Ziyu, who had just finished breakfast and came out of the break room, saw Weifeng and felt complicated emotions.
Sure enough, the next moment, Weifeng pounced on Wang Ziyu, licking him vigorously with its tongue.
“Hehehe…” Wang Ziyu was overwhelmed and couldn’t help but roll his eyes. As expected, Weifeng’s enthusiasm was more than his frail frame could bear!
“Weifeng, don’t be a nuisance.” Li Hao stopped Weifeng from the side. Seeing his owner get serious, Weifeng reluctantly got off Wang Ziyu.
“It’s fine.” Wang Ziyu pretended nothing had happened. He absolutely couldn’t back down in front of Li Hao. He remembered how awkward their first encounter was. Wang Ziyu thought Li Hao was there to cause trouble, so he hid in fear, only to find out that he was there for Weifeng’s deworming treatment.
In short, Wang Ziyu least wanted to see Li Hao, the biggest stain on his part-time job career, bar none.
“Weifeng, come here.” Lin Xia was going to take Weifeng for a check-up.
“Woof woof!” Weifeng ran to Lin Xia again, because it knew that after every check-up, Lin Xia would reward it with a pack of delicious pet biscuits.
“Weifeng is so good!” Lin Xia patted Weifeng’s head and praised it.
After Weifeng’s examination, nothing was found wrong. Weifeng was a young dog, very healthy.
After the check-up, it was time for grooming. Wang Ziyu, who was tasked with grooming Weifeng, felt completely uneasy.
“Mr. Li, you don’t need to watch from the side, you can just sit on the sofa and wait.” Wang Ziyu finally couldn’t take it anymore. He always felt a burning gaze on him, was Li Hao worried that he would harm Weifeng and was monitoring him?
“No need.” Gangster Boss Li Hao domineeringly rejected Wang Ziyu’s suggestion and continued to sit calmly and watch the dog and the young man.
“Ah!” Wang Ziyu was internally collapsing, but he had no other choice, so he completed Weifeng’s grooming amidst the fear and embarrassment of the gangster boss.
“Done!” After handing Weifeng over to Li Hao, Wang Ziyu immediately ran away, leaving Li Hao feeling annoyed.
How could it be like this? Didn’t the book say that accompanying pets with someone you like is a good way to promote relationships? Why did Wang Ziyu run away so fast here?
Li Hao didn’t know that the method was correct, but it depended on the person. If it were a sweet and gentle girl, the result would definitely be different.
Li Hao paid the bill in annoyance and decided to go home and re-study the book “100 Ways to Pursue”.
“Lin… Ge… cat… poo…” The little hamster had been upstairs with the kitten. Just now, the kitten had pooped, and he didn’t know what to do, so he came down to ask Lin Xia for help.
“The kitten pooped?” Lin Xia guessed what the little hamster meant.
“Mm…” The little hamster nodded vigorously.
“Who is this?” Wang Ziyu had never seen the changed Little Hamster. Why was there suddenly a handsome boy in the shop? Could it be?!
Shocking! The fastest speed for a man: The single pet shop owner finds true love overnight!
Wang Ziyu was shocked by his own wild imagination!
“This is the homeless man from yesterday.” Lin Xia whispered to Wang Ziyu. “Now he’s Little Hamster.”
“Really?” Wang Ziyu was shocked and looked disbelieving.
“You go upstairs and teach Little Hamster how to handle the kitten’s poop.” Lin Xia said, then turned to the little hamster, “Today you’ll stay with Ziyu and learn some things from him.”
Teaching a man to fish is better than giving him fish. Lin Xia couldn’t guarantee that the little hamster would always be by his side, so teaching the little hamster some skills was more reliable. Lin Xia felt that although the little hamster’s mental capacity was not fully developed, he could still be taught.
“Okay!” “Okay…” Wang Ziyu and the little hamster answered simultaneously.
…
A week passed, and the little hamster gradually integrated into Lin Xia’s life. To Lin Xia’s surprise, the little hamster learned things incredibly quickly. Now he could already do some simple things in the shop.
The little hamster, no longer having to live on the streets, was very grateful to Lin Xia. He worked very hard, wanting to express his gratitude in this way.
“Little Hamster, take a break.” The little hamster picked up a rag again and wiped this way and that, causing Lin Xia to laugh and cry.
“Aowu!” Daddy, answer the phone, Uncle Mingjie is calling! Lin Xia’s phone rang.
“Mingjie.” Lin Xia answered the phone.
“Xiao Xiaxia, let me tell you, didn’t I ask someone to check on Little Hamster a few days ago?” As soon as Lin Xia answered, Chen Mingjie started blabbering. “Do you know what happened? It made me so angry, how could there be such heartless parents in this world…”
The indignant Chen Mingjie couldn’t continue. He sent Lin Xia an email and told him to read it himself. Chen Mingjie also advised Lin Xia to read it somewhere private, otherwise, he might feel like punching someone.
Lin Xia didn’t know if Chen Mingjie was exaggerating, but he still went into the break room before opening the email.
Author’s Note: Remember how Tuan Tuan always thought Wang Ziyu had a great deed? A mob boss came to the shop, and Wang Ziyu single-handedly drove away the bad guys. Li Hao was the mob boss Tuan Tuan was talking about… Years later, Tuan Tuan learned the truth.
