Su Jiu affectionately took Rong Si’s hand and lead them forward. Suddenly, she saw a pet shop ahead of her.
When she saw through the glass window, she was immediately enthralled by the cute kittens and puppies inside. Turning to Rong Si, she said, “Big Brother, shall we go in and take a look?”
Rong Si looked down at her arm around his, enjoying the intimacy of the moment. His eyes softened. “Okay.”
As soon as the two of them entered the shop, the puppies barked at them and wagged their tails cutely.
Su Jiu was charmed. She bent down and reached out to play with one of the puppies. She could not help but look up and ask Rong Si beside her, “Big Brother, can we bring this puppy home?”
Rong Si looked down at the puppies. They were indeed cute and furry. He asked casually, “How would we take care of them?”
“We can keep it in your apartment. You’ll be responsible for feeding it, bathing it, grooming it, picking up its shit…”
Rong Si winced. “And what about you?”
“Me? I’ll take care of it too.”
“How?”
“Online, of course! Just send some videos of it every day or take a few photos for me to see.”
“…”
“Pfft!” When Su Jiu looked at his speechless expression and imagined him squatting on the ground, silently cleaning up the dog’s feces, Su Jiu could not help but laugh.
Although she knew that the little villain was a caring child and that he even fed stray dogs before, keeping dogs was indeed a little troublesome for him now. He was busy enough every day. But she didn’t want to leave just like that. Was there any pet that could keep him company that he didn’t have to worry about?
As she thought for a moment, she suddenly saw a little turtle crawling back and forth in the fish tank.
A turtle!
Surely it’s easy to keep as a pet?
Moreover, these little turtles seemed to be newborns. The smallest one was adorable. She couldn’t help but ask the shopkeeper, “Boss, how much is this one?”
The owner came over and smiled. “There are several varieties of turtles in my shop. Each has a different price. Which one do you want?”
“Which one is more popular?”
The boss smiled again and pointed to a big fish tank on the ground beside him. “Our alligator snapping turtle is the most popular here. It looks especially fierce. Look, isn’t it cool? Little girl, do you like it?”
Su Jiu followed the direction of the shopkeeper’s finger and glanced at the so-called most popular Alligator Snapping Turtle. She was instantly embarrassed.
It was huge. The shell on its back was uneven, and its open mouth revealed sharp teeth. It was terrifying to look at. If it bit you, you would probably become disabled.
Forget it! I don’t want such a rude pet. Besides, it doesn’t go well with a handsome, clean-cut boy like the little villain.
“Big Brother, this is cute. It suits you.” Su Jiu’s gaze returned to the little turtles. As she saw them slowly crawl around and stick their heads out, they looked really silly and cute. “Shall we buy them?”
Rong Si was amused. How do they suit me?
“You’re going to keep this as a pet?”
Su Jiu smiled at him with bright eyes. “Yes. Do you like it?”
“I don’t like it.” Rong Si looked disgusted.
“Why?”
“It looks a bit stupid.”
“How is it stupid? It’s cute!” Su Jiu reached out to hug his arm and wheedled. “Big Brother, look at how cute this little turtle is. Let’s buy two as pets, okay?”
Rong Si realized that he was unable to resist Su Jiu’s cuteness. No matter how hard his heart was, it turned soft the moment she looked at him. His expression became a little unnatural. After a while, he said, “Fine.”
