The young man selling fish tanks felt bitter looking at Xu Moran's silent demeanor. He hadn't intended to plagiarize; he simply lacked the knowledge to do so.

Back in school, even writing a diary entry required a lot of brainpower, let alone now, after so many years away from school. Asking him to create an original story now would be worse than just killing him.

"Miss Xu." He swallowed nervously and said cautiously to Xu Moran, "How about I give you another 1% discount?"

Xu Moran's lips twitched slightly, but he preemptively said, "Miss Xu, our store's profit margin is low, we really can't offer any more discounts."

Xu Moran paused for a few seconds, then asked, "How much is it after a 1% discount?"

As the bank card was handed over, Xu Moran's phone beeped with another text message notification. Finally, she could sit on the sofa and let out a long, deep breath.

The young man who delivered the fish tank last noticed that Xu Moran was very hurt. As he left, he thoughtfully and quietly closed the door behind him.

Xiaomei wasn't interested in anything new that had been added to her home except for the new fish tank.

It stared at the fish swimming around in the fish tank for a long time, and suddenly saw Xu Moran's reflection in the tank. Suddenly it remembered what it was saying, and its originally squinty eyes suddenly opened wide.

Because of a few fish, it almost forgot the most important thing in its dog life right now: finding a girlfriend, something Xu Moran had promised it on the way back.

No matter how beautiful the fish is, it's not as important as a pretty little female dog. Xiao Mei skipped over to Xu Moran's side.

At this moment, Xu Moran was unpacking the sofa. She wanted to see how it differed from the one she had bought for 2,000 yuan.

Putting aside the differences in the sofas themselves, the packaging alone was different. She couldn't open it by hand at all. Just as she was about to get the scissors, she turned around without noticing and almost bumped into Xiaomei.

Xiao Mei was almost bumped into, but she generously didn't hold it against Xu Moran. She even rubbed her head against Xu Moran's hand, her intention to please him was so obvious.

Xu Moran patted the dog's head, then suddenly realized, "Xiao Mei, I remember what I promised you, wait a minute."

The thought of a beautiful little female dog coming soon makes Xiaomei willing to wait, even if it's just a little while or two or three.

It was afraid that Xu Moran would forget her promise to take it to the pet store to find a girlfriend if she turned around, so it kept following her.

Xu Moran stopped unpacking the sofa and headed towards the kitchen. Xiao Mei wanted to follow, but ever since its owner ordered a double-door refrigerator, the kitchen had been dominated by that refrigerator. Xu Moran was only able to move around nimbly in the small space because of his slender figure.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Xiaomei could only stand at the kitchen doorway and watch Xu Moran. She saw Xu Moran open the new refrigerator and take out a frozen chicken breast.

Chicken breast is usually its favorite food, but today it was thinking about the pretty little female dog and had no interest in chicken breast at all.

It saw Xu Moran defrost the chicken breast, then open the refrigerator and take out a carrot and two eggs.

Xiao Mei didn't expect that Xu Moran asked her to wait because she was hungry and needed to make something to eat first. She went from standing at the kitchen door to lying down, and her eyes were full of disappointment.

Xu Moran takes everything she does very seriously. She focused on cooking the ingredients and didn't look at Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei lay by the kitchen door for a while, thinking that Xu Moran would at least glance at it. Whenever she looked, it would take the opportunity to act cute and pitiful, hoping that Xu Moran would have no heart to cook or eat.

As it turned out, it waited for a long time, while Xu Moran was seriously cooking with his back to it.

Even though it was a dog, it was sad. Waaah, the smell of chicken was already wafting from the kitchen, but it had no appetite at all.

Waaah, it wants a pretty little female dog, it wants a girlfriend, it wants to have lots of puppies with its girlfriend, it wants to be a dad.

Seeing that Xu Moran wouldn't leave the kitchen anytime soon, Xiao Mei lingered by the kitchen door for a while, then stood up disappointedly, returned to the living room, and jumped onto the sofa.

Since this sofa was bought because its owner framed it, it can enjoy it too.

On the living room sofa, a dog that looked like a golden retriever was gazing longingly out the window, looking sad and dejected. In the kitchen, however, Xu Moran was busy at work.
