“Hey, Chen.” Fali realized that Chen Zhao had brought a few items back. “Did you not manage to sell them?”
“Sold most of them. These are valueless, so I brought them back.” Chen Zhao threw the four items onto the table and then leaped toward Fali.
“Chen, do you realize that Walter has grown bigger again?”
“How heavy is he now? Have you measured it?” Chen Zhao asked.
“I remember it’s 65kg the last time. Haven’t weighed him recently.”
“Walter, go take the electric scale and weigh yourself,” Chen Zhao instructed.
Waving his tail, Walter left and returned with the scale in his mouth. He placed it before Chen Zhao and Fali and then stood on it.
“78kg. He’s indeed much bigger.” Chen Zhao was also surprised by Walter’s growth.
“I didn’t realize it earlier either. Today, I brought Walter to the HQ. The Coastal Rescue Team has bought two more adult German Shepherds and I realized their difference.”
Chen Zhao gave a bitter smile. They obviously had a difference.
A normal German Shepherd weighed 30 to 35kg, and at most 40kg.
Walter was more than twice as heavy as a normal German Shepherd.
Nevertheless, Walter was still smaller and lighter than the Silly Twins.
Fali did not compare him to the Silly Twins anyway. She had, after all, witnessed their extraordinary appearance.
On the other hand, she still took Walter as a normal dog.
Fali also realized that Walter was becoming increasingly intelligent.
Usually, even the smartest animal can only perform linear thinking instead of complex thinking.
For example, after some training, a dog would stop, walk, sit, stand or eat when being told.
If he is told, however, that there is a car in front and he should stop later, he would not understand it, even if he could understand human language itself.
Complex thinking exists mostly in primates such as monkeys. A small number of birds, dolphins, and whales also have high thinking complexity.
Only with complex thinking can an animal learn how to use tools. For example, monkeys would use stones to crack the hard shells of nuts.
Walter could similarly perform complex thinking. He was indeed very clever.
“What a smart boy.” Chen Zhao rubbed Walter’s head.
Walter lowered his head in enjoyment, his face filled with a lazy expression.
Seeing Walter’s affectionate behavior, White-Ma immediately jumped onto the sofa and also stuck his head into Fali’s arms.
With a bitter smile, Fali also stroked White-Ma’s hair.
Chen Zhao widened his eyes at White-Ma. “If you dare to touch the sofa with your dirty paws again, I’ll rip your skin off.”
White-Ma withdrew his head in sadness and avoided Chen Zhao’s stare.
Fali was like a mother trying to protect her child. “He didn’t do it on purpose. Why are you so fierce?”
…
Chen Zhao was really free for a few days. Gaia’s boxing lesson had ended.
Normans was in the hospital, preparing for the operation. Chen Zhao had been going to Ethan’s motel.
Ethan had introduced him to two clients, one of which gave him twenty thousand.
The other one was only one thousand.
Chen Zhao was not a picky person. He would accept both big and small clients.
Anyway, as long as he was free, he would accept any clients, provided he could earn at least his travel expenses.
Chen Zhao also signed up for a driving course. He found it really troublesome to not have a driving license and a car.
Hence, he planned to get his license as soon as possible and then buy a car.
“Chen, we’re running out of dog food. Go to the supermarket and buy some when you’re free,” Fali called Chen Zhao.
When Chen Zhao went to the supermarket, he met a resident of the town.
He recalled the person’s name to be Dosa.
That time, Chen Zhao had saved him from the fire ground. Dosa and his family had even visited Chen Zhao’s house to thank him.
However, Chen Zhao was not really close to them. In the whole town, the only family that Chen Zhao was close to was Bant’s.
When Dosa saw Chen Zhao, he walked up and greeted, “Chen, how are you doing?”
“I’m fine. Thank you.”
“Chen, can I discuss something with you?” Dosa looked at the Silly Twins who were beside Chen Zhao.
“What?”
“Black-Ma and White-Ma are male, right?”
Dosa clearly knew about them. After all, the Silly Twins had been treating the entire Mountain Town like a funfair. Everyone in the town knew them.
Moreover, Azina would sometimes bring them and bully the kids in the town. The Silly Twins had quite a bad reputation.
Since they were much bigger than the dogs in town, it was hard for others to not recognize them.
“Yes, what?”
“My Sara is female. I want to breed her. Do you think White-Ma and Black-Ma are okay with it?”
“Err… Sorry, I can’t agree to do that. I won’t make decisions for them,” Chen Zhao replied. The Silly Twins were demons, after all, not animals.
Chen Zhao would clearly not treat them like ordinary dogs.
“A few neighbors have already asked me about this. If I agree to anyone at all, I need to agree to everyone. By then, everyone will come and it’s too harmful to my pets. I can’t agree.” Chen Zhao’s answer was logical and reasonable.
Even humans would feel uncomfortable after having too much sex, not to mention animals.
Dosa nodded. Actually, he did not have too much hope in the first place.
He could not force it anyway since the dogs belonged to Chen Zhao. He was not in the position to demand anything.
As for whether the Silly Twins would mate outside, Chen Zhao could not care.
In any case, he would not ask them to breed. If the neighbor really wanted, he could bring his dog to the Silly Twins. Chen Zhao would not force them to do anything.
When Chen Zhao left the supermarket, he realized that Leonardo’s police car was parked right outside. Leonardo himself was sitting on a bench nearby, enjoying a beverage.
Even though the place was extremely crowded, Leonardo still managed to spot Chen Zhao immediately.
Actually, he saw the Silly Twins first. Apart from being huge, they were also carrying two packs of dog food each. They were difficult to ignore.
“Chen.” Leonardo waved his hand.
Chen Zhao petted the Silly Twins. “Bring the dog food back and no stealing. If I discover that the dog food’s opened when I get back, you can prepare to starve for the rest of the day.”
Chen Zhao sat beside Leonardo. “You look pretty free.”
“My shift’s ending very soon. I’m waiting for it.”
“Do you want to go to my house later?”
“Fali’s almost back too, right? I won’t be the third wheel.” Leonardo was not insensitive.
“Alright. We’ll ask everyone out some other day for a drink together.”
