Chapter 1226: Chapter 1199: Extraordinary Pet Fates 6
After Anning and Xiao Yuan were fed, Yu Xin held Anning in one arm while gently stroking the fur on Xiao Yuanâs back with the other: "Little one, shall big sis take you home?"
"Woof."
Xiao Yuan barked.
He meant he could go home by himself.
But Yu Xin was worried.
"You canât go home alone, there are too many bad people out there now. What if you run into a heartless one who captures you? Little one, youâre my lifesaver, how can I let you be in danger?"
Xiao Yuan barked again.
Yu Xin chuckled: "Iâll take Dingding and weâll send you back, okay?"
Xiao Yuan nodded his head.
Yu Xin picked up Anning and headed out with Xiao Yuan.
"Little one, whereâs your home?"
Downstairs, Yu Xin patted Xiao Yuanâs head and asked.
She thought Xiao Yuan belonged to a resident in the neighborhood, thinking it shouldnât be far.
Little did she know, she followed Xiao Yuan all the way out of the neighborhood, walked quite a distance before reaching Xiao Yuanâs home.
It was a high-end community with good security, requiring an access card to enter. Without a card, youâd be stopped by security guards.
Yu Xin thought she couldnât get in.
But then, Xiao Yuan pulled out a card with his mouth.
He held the card with his dog mouth and swiped it at the door, leading Anning and Yu Xin into the community under the bewildered stare of the security guard.
The guard rubbed his eyes: "Did I just see that right? A dog swiped a card?"
He quickly pulled up the surveillance video to check again, indeed, he wasnât mistaken, a dog swiped a card to let them in...
The guard was still wondering what was going on, but after looking carefully, he realized it was a dog belonging to a resident and didnât chase after the trio.
Following behind Xiao Yuan, Yu Xin remarked: "No wonder our Dingding became friends with you, youâre so smart, even know how to swipe a card."
When they arrived at Xiao Yuanâs door, Yu Xin was even more stunned.
Xiao Yuan stood up, raised his paw, and pressed the code, then the door opened instantly.
"Little one, how are you so smart?"
Yu Xin was truly amazed today. Her own cat could dial emergency numbers, and othersâ dogs could swipe cards and enter codes. How did these pets learn to recognize numbers?
As the door opened, Yu Xin patted Xiao Yuanâs head: "Now that youâve made it home, weâll take our leave. Youâre welcome to visit big sisâs house anytime."
She waved goodbye to Xiao Yuan with a smile, and Anning nestled in Yu Xinâs arms also raised a paw to bid farewell.
Just as they were reluctant to say goodbye, a man dressed in black casual wear, wearing a baseball cap, and a black mask covering his face, pulling a large suitcase, came out from the elevator.
As soon as he exited, he saw his silly dog standing at the doorway, with a woman holding a cat waving goodbye to his dog not far away.
The woman raised her hand, the cat raised its paw, the poses of the pet owner pair looked particularly in sync, funny and adorable at the same time.
"Dangdang."
The man called out, and seeing his owner return, Xiao Yuan barked, jumped up, and placed both paws on the manâs shoulder, rubbing his dog head against him.
The man seemed a bit disdainful but still put down his suitcase and hugged Xiao Yuan: "Dangdang, did you miss big brother?"
Xiao Yuan barked once more and then turned his head to look at Yu Xin and Anning.
The man released Xiao Yuan and walked over to Yu Xin, subtly sizing her up: "Are you a resident here? Did my Dangdang trouble you?"
Yu Xin quickly waved her hand: "No, Iâm not from this community. Itâs just that your Dangdang and our Dingding are good friends, Dangdang came to play with Dingding, I was just worried when we were returning, so I escorted them back."
The man laughed.
He reached to pet Anning in Yu Xinâs arms.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan got anxious and barked, stepping in to stop him.
The man broke into laughter: "Fine, this is your friend, I wonât touch, okay?"
He glances at Anning, asking Yu Xin: "Your cat is named Dingding?"
Yu Xin nodded: "Dingding, say hi to big brother."
Anning meowed, lifted a paw, and elegantly placed it in front of the man.
The man smiled and gently shook Anningâs paw: "Hello Dingding."
He looked at Yu Xin again: "Your catâs named Dingding, my dogâs named Dangdang, itâs quite a coincidence, no wonder they are good friends."
Yu Xin smiled: "I also think itâs quite a coincidence."
She glanced at Xiao Yuan: "Since you are back, weâll be leaving, goodbye."
The man stood up to escort Yu Xin, but Yu Xin waved her hand: "No need, I know the way out."
He watched Yu Xin enter the elevator, then headed inside with Xiao Yuan.
He plopped onto the sofa, and Xiao Yuan pushed the suitcase into the walk-in closet, pulling out a set of loungewear on his way out.
The man looked and laughed: "Dangdang is getting more capable, even knows how to take care of big brother."
He took the loungewear, hugged Xiao Yuan, and went to change.
Just then, the phone on the coffee table rang, and Xiao Yuan barked twice, the man came out to answer.
He pressed the answer button and heard the managerâs voice: "Yuanyuan, are you home yet?"
The manâs name was Xiang Boyuan, and âYuanâ and âRoundâ sound the same, so the manager often called him Yuanyuan.
Xiang Boyuan chuckled: "Brother Liu, Iâm home, whatâs up?"
"Well, itâs like this, Director Hu is launching a new show, and heâs looking for participants. As itâs a new show, itâs hard to find people for the first episode, so Director Hu contacted me, trying to see if youâre interested?"
Brother Liu swiftly explained the situation to Xiang Boyuan.
Director Hu was a director doing variety shows at the TV station. This time, he wanted to record a brand-new reality show focusing on showcasing the interactions between celebrities and pets. As the show was new and required pet-owning celebrities to participate with their pets, it was difficult to find participants. Director Hu knew Xiang Boyuan had a dog, so he wanted to invite him to join the first season of the pet adventure.
After listening to Brother Liu, Xiang Boyuan said: "Sure, Iâm free recently, I can take Dangdang out for some fun."
In reality, it wasnât because he wanted to take Xiao Yuan out for fun, but he owed Director Hu a favor before and wanted to take this opportunity to repay it.
"Alright, Iâll accept it."
Brother Liu laughed: "Donât worry, Iâll make sure to understand the programâs flow well, ensuring you wonât suffer."
While Xiang Boyuan was on the call, Xiao Yuan was squatting by his side listening.
When he heard about joining a reality show, he barked.
Xiang Boyuan chuckled, hugging Xiao Yuan: "Dangdang, youâll be doing the show with big brother, excited?"
Woof.
Xiao Yuan barked again: who wants to do a show with you, you idiot, doing a show with you means taking care of you, thatâs so exhausting for a dog.
"Our Dangdang is so happy."
Xiang Boyuan continued on his own: "Big brother will take you around to play, making sure you have a great time."
Xiao Yuan visibly slumped in spirit.
He lay on the floor, too unwilling to move.
He didnât want to do the show, werenât Yu Xinâs homeâs delicacies nice enough? Wasnât being with Anning good enough? Only a crazy dog would want to play with this idiot.
Then, Xiao Yuan thought, being just a dog, felt even more disillusioned with life.
