He Jing ordered a Papillon mix for only 300 yuan.

But its appearance is stunning. It has several large yellow spots on its body, yellowish-black ears and eye circles, and a black nose that twitches, making it look quite pitiful.

When He Jing picked it up, it was unusually well-behaved, its big eyes moving restlessly. But when He Jing put a leash on it and let it run on the ground, its steps were particularly cheerful.

Seeing that He Jing was completely captivated by the dog, He Zhou surprisingly refrained from haggling, even though he knew the dog wasn't purebred, its origins were questionable, and it was highly likely a stray. But He Jing liked it—

"Third Brother, I looked it up. Papillons are very affectionate, sensitive, jealous, and extremely possessive of their owners. People who own them shouldn't even consider getting a second dog, let alone a cat..."

It will probably take some effort to raise it.

Little did he know, this dog's temperament was exactly what He Zhou wanted.

He even felt that this dog was destined for him to buy and give to He Jing. With this dog, who else could give He Jing a pet?

Oh!

He Zhou retorted, dissatisfied, "With this, what else do you want to raise?"

He Jing shook her head and said "I don't want to," then smiled slightly: "Third Brother bought it for me, so why don't you give it a name, Third Brother?"

He Zhou said lazily, "Little Buddha."

He Jing: "Huh?"

He Zhou didn't explain, dragging his suitcase with one hand and putting the other in his pocket, letting He Jing figure it out herself.

He Jing pondered for a while and then understood, and immediately felt both amused and exasperated: "Third Brother, Fourth Brother will kill you if he finds out."

Buddha, four.

He Zhou sneered: "With his intelligence, it would be strange if he didn't find out."

He Jing couldn't help but cover her face; this guy really didn't treat He Sui like a human being.

In the end, He Jing did not choose the name Xiao Fo, but instead gave it another name, "Xi Xi," which means light.

Upon hearing this, He Zhou raised an eyebrow, looked at He Jing with a subtle expression for a long while, and then suddenly smiled wickedly: "I agree."

He Jing: "..."

Is it just my imagination?

She always felt that He Zhou seemed to have... misunderstood something.

...

When He Jing led Xi Xi back to the He family home, He Sui and He Ning, who had returned home earlier, stood up from the sofa. He Yuan and He Chen came out of their room. He Yi secretly opened the door a crack, wanting to come out but hesitating and not coming out.

He Xiaoguo, who was only halfway through her homework, rushed to the He family's door with a "whoosh." Just as she was about to hug He Jing, she saw Xi Xi, and her eyes lit up. She picked Xi Xi up.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, there's a dog!"

He Sui: "He Jing, what's wrong with your dog?"

He Ning: "You bought it?"

He Yuan: "He Xiaoguo, put the dog down and continue doing your homework."

He Chen: "He Jing, you're finally back!"

...

The group chattered amongst themselves, and He Jing didn't know how to respond. She could only add He Chen's last words with a smile: "Yes, I'm back!"

He Sui was the first to express his displeasure, saying, "Why are you back so late? I've been waiting for you since 2 o'clock."

It's already 7 o'clock.

Even if it's a two-hour bus ride back, I should be back by 5 pm.

He Zhou glanced at him sideways and scoffed, "What do you think?"

Of course, he went to buy a dog for He Jing!

He Sui got angry just looking at He Zhou, but he couldn't win against his sharp tongue, so he suppressed his anger. He looked at Xi Xi unhappily and asked, "He Jing, what's the name of this dog?"

He Jing replied, "Her name is Xixi."

The living room suddenly fell silent.

then……

He Yuan: "I agree."

He Ning: "I agree."

He Sui: "I agree."

He Chen: "I agree."

A faint voice came from another room: "I agree too."

He Sui was overjoyed.
