Chapter 108 Chapter 108 Spending Money Day 108
He Zhiyuan looked at Liu Yue in front of him, and suddenly felt a little dazed, as if he couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality.
In fact, almost half a year had passed since they first met at the Wuhou Temple.
He felt particularly regretful during those days, constantly wondering if he'd bump into her again somewhere on the streets of Chengdu. After returning from his trip, he was still a little uneasy.
But half a year was indeed a long time. He Zhiyuan thought he had almost forgotten what she looked like. After all, it was just a quick glance at her. To say he was deeply in love with her was an exaggeration.
However, at this moment, when Liu Yue was standing in front of him, He Zhiyuan suddenly thought of a sentence: My heartbeat recognized you faster than my eyes.
At that moment, he was thinking a lot, and in Liu Yue's eyes, he seemed to be in a daze.
"What's wrong with you?" She waved in front of him and looked behind him, thinking that there was something behind him that startled him.
This is nothing... How did he suddenly enter into a state of meditation?
Realizing his loss of composure, He Zhiyuan came to his senses and quickly said sorry.
Of course Liu Yue wouldn't bother with him. She looked at Zhuzhu, feeling a little restless.
"Can I pet it?" Liu Yue said, "Even though it and Lucas are very familiar with each other, I'm not familiar with it yet. I don't think it will bite me."
He Zhiyuan: "No bite, of course not, you can touch it as you like."
Hehehe, after hearing these words from the parents, Liu Yue felt relieved.
She first tentatively touched Alaska's head, and when she saw that it didn't resist, she squatted down and touched its back.
Lucas is a short-haired cat and Zhuzhu is a long-haired dog. These two pets feel completely different to the touch.
While touching the pig, Liu Yue asked He Zhiyuan: "Does the pig usually shed hair? It should be serious."
"It's very serious." He Zhiyuan also squatted down to talk to her. "For a while, it was like a walking snow machine. If you collected the hair it shed, you could make several sweaters."
"Oh, really?"
Liu Yue found this very interesting. She looked at He Zhiyuan curiously: "Can dog hair really be used to knit sweaters? I've never seen it before."
Being looked at by her like this, He Zhiyuan's face felt a little hot.
He avoided looking at her: "I also saw it on the Internet...I haven't actually tried it."
"Oh, I never thought you could make sweaters out of pet hair."
Liu Yue glanced in Lucas's direction and said regretfully, "My cat is a Bengal. It has short hair and sheds very little. It's hard for it to even make a hat for me."
He Zhiyuan blurted out: "If you don't mind, I can shear Zhuzhu's hair and see if there is enough hair to make you a custom sweater."
"May I?"
Liu Yue was really tempted. She had just bought some autumn and winter haute couture some time ago and had seen many high-end fabrics, but this was the first time she had heard of such an interesting piece of clothing as a dog fur sweater.
No matter whether it looks good or keeps her warm, the key is that she feels fresh.
But she felt a little embarrassed: "No need to cut its hair specially..."
"It's okay," He Zhiyuan said. "It's summer now. It was okay in Beijing before, but it's too hot in Shenzhen. And it's just a trim, not a shave. I was planning to trim some of its hair anyway."
Alaska turned his head and looked at He Zhiyuan, his eyes seemed to say, you better.
He Zhiyuan remained calm. What's wrong with cutting its fur? Alaskan dogs have very lush fur that grows back very quickly. It only takes two months for it to grow back long.
Now that he said so, Liu Yue felt relieved.
Speaking of the hot summers in Alaska, she was also glad that she had arranged an indoor venue - there were also buildings on the lawn, and she had taken this into consideration and rented them as well.
Liu Yue asked curiously, "Why did you name it Zhuzhu? Was it fat when it was young?"
He Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment. What did Zhuzhu have to do with being fat? Did she mean round and plump?
He nodded hesitantly, then saw Liu Yue smile.
It looked really nice... He meant her new hairstyle and everything.
When talking about pet names, it becomes natural for parents to exchange names.
Half a year later, he finally knew her name: Liu Yue.
Liu Yue read He Zhiyuan's name and asked him, "Is your name based on Zhuge Liang's saying? Without being indifferent, one cannot clarify one's ambition; without being tranquil, one cannot achieve far-reaching goals."
He Zhiyuan explained: "Yes, my parents really like Zhuge Liang. However, although this quote by Zhuge Liang is very famous, he only used it in his "Admonitions to My Son." The original text can be traced back to the "Huainanzi" in the Western Han Dynasty."
"I see." Liu Yue looked at him, "Are you a liberal arts student?"
"Well... well, I studied English and law."
"I studied English, too!" Liu Yue's eyes lit up. "Where did you go to university?"
"Peking University, the graduate student went to Stanford, how about you?"
Liu Yue: ...
So he's a top student. Sorry for the inconvenience. Seeing that he lives in Shenzhen, she thought he was also a student at Shenzhen University.
She knew this kind of compound talent. Since he went to the United States for graduate studies, law would be his main focus.
"I'm an undergraduate from Shenzhen University and just graduated this year."
Liu Yue pointed to the cabinet next to her and said, "Oh, right, here we have not only meats of your choice, but also desserts. They are just shaped like cakes, but they are actually meat pastes and pastes of various flavors."
The meat you choose in the freezer cannot be eaten directly after selection. It also needs to be put into the blender and made into a paste.
Theoretically, since the ingredients are clean, humans can eat it, but it is not recommended.
"The food people eat is on the other side."
Liu Yue pointed in another direction: "It's mainly various noodles with a variety of toppings. There are also drinks and snacks in the refrigerator. Be careful not to let the cats and dogs eat them by mistake."
As the host of today's party, Liu Yue only chatted with He Zhiyuan for a short while before going to receive other guests.
He Zhiyuan wanted to keep her, but he had no right to do so, so he could only politely watch her leave.
But at least this time, he wouldn't be unable to find her again.
Zhuzhu was getting impatient and kept pulling at his trouser legs to get to the freezer. He Zhiyuan quickly took her over there, picking up some meat for her while observing how much of her hair had been cut off.
Zhuzhu: ...
It’s such a hot day, why do I feel a chill on my back?
He Zhiyuan reviewed his conversation with Liu Yue. It was a pity that he didn't have the chance to say that they had actually met at the Wuhou Temple half a year ago.
He thought that China was so big that it would be difficult to meet her again in his life. He didn't expect that she was in Shenzhen, so close to him. They walked the dog and cat in the same area.
Thinking of this, He Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh.
If he had known this, he wouldn’t have hired a college student to work part-time as a dog walker... If he had taken Zhuzhu out himself, would he have met her a long time ago?
And that time when he went on a business trip, if he had invited her a few days in advance...
He Zhiyuan took out his mobile phone and opened the circle of friends of "Leopard Cat".
Liu Yue’s Moments are visible for three days, but the last post you can see is a photo of her and Lego.
He was really impressed by himself. If only he had played with his phone more often and read more of his Moments, wouldn't that be a big deal?
There were so many opportunities, but he kept missing them.
He Zhiyuan changed Liu Yue's note to her name. When he typed these two words, his heart beat faster.
Zhuzhu was busy eating, and He Zhiyuan patted her on the back. He was able to reunite with Liu Yue thanks to Zhuzhu.
"Eat more," he said to Zhuzhu. "From now on, no matter how busy I am, I will make time to play with you every day. You also have to get along well with her son Lucas and not bully him, okay?"
It’s strange that Zhuzhu could understand, because all he wanted was to eat.
On the other side, Liu Yue was chatting with Wei Siying.
Wei Siying described with great enthusiasm how her relative acted sarcastic, incompetent and furious after the Bichon Frise's first birthday party, and how he forwarded many videos mocking pet owners to the family group. Unfortunately, no one cared at all.
He thought that others would agree with him. After all, he was older and was the "elder". But it was a courtesy for others not to refute him. Why would they fight with Wei Siying for him?
Liu Yue: "Then you are quite popular among your relatives."
"That's because I'm a first-generation entrepreneur," Wei Siying said confidently. "These people are counting on me for their success, so of course they don't dare put on airs in front of me."
Wei Siying remembers very clearly that before she succeeded in starting her own business, her relatives' attitude towards her was not like this.
As for that annoying relative, Wei Siying had fallen out with him long ago. He knew clearly that he could not gain any benefits from her, so he was furious and wanted to make things difficult for her, because he couldn't bear to see her live a good life.
Wow, it turns out that this is a young talent who has successfully started a business.
Liu Yue was filled with awe, and she made a particularly magical discovery.
Although she herself is a nobody, the parents of the pet friends that her son Lucas knows seem to be the elite of society...
There is no official start time for the party, whoever arrives first plays first.
Liu Yue didn't organize any group activities. Her only goal in throwing a party was to make Lucas happy. Whether he wanted to enjoy the air conditioning indoors or roll around on the lawn outdoors, it was up to him.
Most pets choose to play outside, with the lawn separated by a fence. Some parents, after observing that both large and medium-sized dogs are friendly, feel free to let their small dogs and kittens into the largest mixed area.
Liu Yue also noticed that a German Shepherd was always maintaining order. If a larger dog tried to grab a smaller dog's toy, it would bark a few times, and if the other dog didn't stop, it would step forward to stop it.
She didn't know the German Shepherd—today's party included not only Lucas's friends but also his friends' friends. In the spirit of making the party more lively, Liu Yue invited a wide range of people, so Lucas might have a chance to make new friends.
"This is a retired police dog," Wei Siying introduced her. "I know this dog. Its name is Heijin. It's very famous in our area. Its owner is the boy next to you. I heard he used a lot of connections to successfully adopt it."
This news shocked Liu Yue repeatedly. It was the first time she saw a police dog - although Heijin has retired now.
The name fits its appearance very well, but Liu Yue had never thought before that police dogs can also be adopted.
Wei Siying: "The requirements are very strict. You need a fixed residence, and the house must be large enough to give the dog enough space to move around. Villas with yards are preferred, and apartments are a demerit. Your work, household registration, income, and family situation will also be considered..."
"Also, many police dogs are only available for adoption by units, so it's very difficult for individuals to apply."
The implication is that this boy has strong connections and ordinary people have basically no chance.
Wei Siying and Heijin were already very familiar with each other. She clapped her hands to call it. Heijin first looked at its owner, and after receiving a nod, it ran towards her.
Liu Yue exclaimed, "Wow, this dog is worthy of being a police dog. It is so disciplined."
She was a little eager to make a move again, and stretched out her hand to Heijin tentatively. But before she could touch him, Heijin dodged nimbly and looked at her warily.
"Can't I touch it?" Liu Yue was a little disappointed.
"We have to wait for its parents to come over," Wei Siying explained. "Because Heijin is so good-looking, people often want to touch it while it's on duty, which would interfere with its work, so it's quite resistant to that kind of thing."
Tsk tsk, it seems that dogs with great looks can also have troubles.
Heijin's owner came over soon. Although Liu Yue didn't plan to keep a dog again, she was very interested in police dogs and asked him many questions.
They chatted there for a while. He Zhi was far away and couldn't hear their conversation, but he could clearly feel that Liu Yue was very happy at the moment.
He glanced at the agile Heijin, and then looked at Zhuzhu who was frequently looking towards the freezer.
He Zhiyuan: ...
At this moment, he wanted to say, "Stop eating. What else can you do besides eating? Look at other people's dogs!"
