“Xiao Mei.” Unlike Xu Ye, who directly criticized Xiao Mei, Xu Moran bent down, leaned close to Xiao Mei’s ear, and comforted it while stroking its head. “Finding a girlfriend can’t be rushed. Let’s not say they have to be the same breed, but at least they should be about the same size. The one just now… was too small.”

Xiao Mei seemed to understand Xu Moran's meaning, and lowered her head again. Partly, she felt ashamed by what Xu Moran said. That little female dog looked like a minor, how could she have brought herself to scratch it?

If it could speak, it would definitely slap its own outstretched left paw hard. Damn it, you must control yourself! (Xiao Mei's ancestral home is in Guangdong, and her Cantonese is not very standard. To control yourself, the pronunciation is "control yourself, you bastard.")

Looking down also has another meaning: on the road to finding a girlfriend, it's not that it doesn't want to find someone of a similar build, it's just that it's too difficult to find one.

In today's society, the gender imbalance is not only reflected in humans, but also in the dog world, where there are now far more male dogs than female dogs.

Ugh, it's all the lingering effects of that damned preference for sons over daughters. Little Mei is already several years old, but she's still a virgin—a male dog.

Xu Moran couldn't bear to see Xiao Mei, a dog, looking so dejected. Just as he was about to continue comforting her and even promise to take her to a pet store to see if there was a suitable female dog, Xu Ye started to pour cold water on Xiao Mei's enthusiasm. "You'll soon be free from this kind of trouble of not being able to find a girlfriend, haha. When we get home, I'll personally make it for you. From now on, Xiao Mei, you'll be free from all desires and hopes. Isn't that great? Come on, at this moment, I think there's a song that's perfect for you. I'll start by giving you a starting note, and you can start by going offstage. The song is called 'Keep the Roots.'"

As clever as Xiaomei is, she naturally understands what Xu Ye, who has temporarily changed his name but is still the same owner, means.

The dog's face was no longer one of frustration, but one of utter despair. As expected of Xiao Anhe's dog, which he had raised for many years, it was just as intelligent as him, knowing that at this moment, if it wanted to keep its roots, it had to seek Xu Moran's help.

As a dog, it naturally couldn't plead. Xiao Mei had her own way. No matter how big a dog was, once it opened its big, dark eyes and stared intently at Xu Moran, she found it incredibly cute, especially since it was deliberately tilting its head.

Xiao Mei's cute act was a success. Xu Moran said seriously to Xu Ye, "You are not allowed to have any more thoughts about turning Xiao Mei into a eunuch!"

Xu Ye pretended not to know that Xu Moran was worried about Xiao Mei, touched his nose, and repeated the other half of what he had just said, "Ranran, don't disbelieve me, I really will perform the surgery on Xiao Mei, and I guarantee there won't be any accidents."

He not only knows how to teach Xiaomei, but he also knows how to teach others; otherwise, his master's degree from the Cambridge Medical School, which he obtained in just two years, would have been for nothing.

Cambridge Medical School is the most difficult medical school to get into in the world, bar none. Xiao Anhe not only got in, but he also got into the most difficult neurosurgery program.

Xu Moran, who was unaware of Xu Ye's true identity, naturally assumed that Xu Ye was bragging when he said he could perform surgery on Xiao Mei. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "Young man, be more down-to-earth. Read more books in your spare time and stop bragging."

Xu Ye quickly took out the pirated book from earlier, looked at Xu Moran seriously, and nodded earnestly, "Ranran, I'll listen to you, and I'll definitely read more books in the future."

Xu Moran remained silent. "If you're planning to read more books like this, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

It's not easy to learn good things, but it's easy to learn bad things. Xu Moran felt that this kind of book could only lead people astray, so it was better not to read it.

Xiao Mei's testicles were saved, and after what just happened, Xiao Mei cleverly learned that if her owner bullied or threatened her again, she could just ask Xu Moran for help.

Haha, Xiao Mei, being a dog, couldn't contain her joy. She never expected that there would always be someone better, and she, Xiao Mei, had finally found a powerful backer.

Xiao Mei rubbed her head against Xu Moran's hand again, feeling that it was wonderful to have someone to rely on.

Where Xu Moran couldn't see, Xu Ye glared at Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei shuddered in fright, her tail instantly tucked between her legs, and she crouched down close to Xu Moran.

Xu Moran thought the little episode was over, but little did he know that it was only half over. Just as he was about to continue walking forward, a cold wind rushed towards him. The one who brought this wind was the middle-aged woman who had just been pinning her dog to the ground by Xiao Mei, and instead of helping her, she took out some sunflower seeds to eat.
