Yue Lanxing disagreed. "Buying a new one might not be suitable. It might be a little unfamiliar with the environment since it just arrived here. How about I take it for a walk and we can get to know each other better?"
"Sure, you can take this rope. Call me if Doubao feels unwell." Xiaonan handed the rope to Yue Lanxing with peace of mind, gave him a brief instruction, and then went about her business.
This was Yue Lanxing's first time dealing with such a small dog. When he adopted Lang Qing, his mother was worried that Lang Qing would hurt him, but he himself was not afraid at all and quickly tamed it.
Yue Lanxing hadn't been home for a long time since he'd been thinking about Lang Qing, so he decided to take the day off tomorrow to go back. As he was pondering things, his eyes were fixed on Doubao, who gradually went from excited to lying down, looking extremely well-behaved.
"Hey, why are you lying down? Let me run with you for a bit." After Yue Lanxing came to her senses, she saw Doubao at her feet and immediately started the lap-running plan. Once Doubao no longer felt the pressure, she started jumping around again.
After Xu Zhaoyue finished talking with Butler Xu, she thought of relaxing on the balcony and saw Yue Lanxing running around the yard with Doubao. Doubao really liked the feeling of exercising with Yue Lanxing.
After Yue Lanxing stopped, Doubao kept circling around his feet. "Doubao, sit!" Yue Lanxing gestured for Doubao to sit down, which made Xu Zhaoyue very envious.
"Doubao, Doubao..." Xu Zhaoyue called out a few times from upstairs. Yue Lanxing and Doubao both looked up. "Miss, Doubao doesn't seem to like its new home. It might have to wait two days before it can go in."
"Really? I'll come down and talk to you." Xu Zhaoyue came to the backyard from the study. "Why doesn't it like it? Do you know why?" Xu Zhaoyue asked.
"It must be because the wood has a fragrance. The wood used to make the swing was scented with spices. After the swing was finished, some wood was left over and used to make a dog bed. Dogs are quite sensitive to smells."
Xu Zhaoyue saw the completed swing and sat on it. She could indeed smell a fragrance. "It really does smell nice. Shall we buy another one?"
Yue Lanxing sighed inwardly once again, "As expected of the young lady." "Actually, there's no need for such trouble, young lady. Just let the wood dissipate its smell, and then put one of your old clothes on it."
"It'll make you feel more at ease to smell familiar scents when you're in a new environment." Yue Lanxing's suggestion made Xu Zhaoyue's eyes light up. "You seem to have a lot of experience. What kind of dogs have you raised? Can you bring them with you?"
“When I was studying abroad, I left Doubao at home. Xiaonan said that when I wasn’t there, Doubao would keep looking at the door and would run over as soon as I came back. Now that I’m going to work, Doubao will be waiting for me at home again.”
Yue Lanxing understood what the young lady meant. "If the young lady wants to find a playmate for Doubao, I can take the day off tomorrow to go home and bring Langqing with me. However, Langqing has a fiery temper. If they have a conflict, I will send Langqing away and raise another breed of dog."
"Of course you can. By the way, what's your wolf-like creature's name?" Xu Zhaoyue asked curiously while stroking Doubao's head.
“It’s called Qingying. That’s what it was called when I bought it.” Yue Lanxing remembered that she met a dog seller at the market a couple of years ago. The stall owner originally wanted to keep it, but this wolf-like dog had killed several dogs because of its wild nature. The stall owner couldn’t bear to kill it, so he decided to sell it.
Those who were watching at the time knew what Qingying had done, and they were all afraid that this thing was too wild to be tamed, so they dared not buy it, and he got a bargain.
"This name is quite nice, isn't it, Doubao?" Of course, Doubao couldn't answer her. Xu Zhaoyue played with Doubao for a while before remembering that Yue Lanxing was still waiting beside her.
Xu Zhaoyue looked up at Yue Lanxing and found that he was also looking at her. They made eye contact, but he seemed to be in a daze. "By the way, you are coming to the company with me. Have Xu Dachuan take you to buy some clothes. Remember to put the money in my account. Don't embarrass me."
"Yes, Miss. I don't know when you're going to the company. I need to go home for a bit, but I'll definitely be back." Yue Lanxing lowered her head, thinking she was being discreet.
"No need to rush, it should be Monday at the earliest. Do you think I won't let you go home? It's always good to spend more time with your family. By the way, what major is Xuanxuan going to choose?" Xu Zhaoyue wasn't the type to care about such trivial matters; whether Yue Lanxing made it back or not didn't affect her.
Yue Lanxing naturally knew what Yue Xuanxuan wanted to choose. "She wants to choose a doctor or a nurse. She has been interested in medicinal herbs since she was a child."
"Really? It just so happens that our Xu family started out in the medicinal herb business. Maybe she can even come work for us after she's completed her studies. She's made up her mind so early, unlike Xiao Hao, who doesn't even know what he wants to do."
Xu Zhaoyue was a little worried. She didn't have strict requirements for Xu Zhaohao. As long as he didn't do anything wrong, commit any crimes, or bully others, that was fine. All else was that he was healthy and could do whatever he wanted.
Xu Zhaohao himself wasn't in a hurry about this choice, but his older sister was having a terrible headache. She didn't want him to just pick one randomly and waste four years, but she couldn't see where his talent lay. From childhood to adulthood, he had been interested in many things, but he hadn't stuck with most of them.
Yue Lanxing didn't have Xu Zhaoyue's troubles. His younger sister was always obedient and sensible, and didn't cause him too much worry. On the contrary, she would worry about him from time to time. For a moment, he didn't know how to persuade the young lady.
"Didn't the professor say we could go to him during the parent-teacher conference?" Yue Lanxing recalled the old professor who had teased Xu Zhaoyue on the podium.
