Since Gu Liji wanted to buy a dog, the group went straight to the animal trading area, which had many kinds of animals, both adults and puppies...
All the animals have been inspected according to the basic requirements for each animal, so you can buy with peace of mind.
The variety of animals inside is dazzling; some are terrifying, while others are heartwarming...
Anyway, they're all kinds of weird and wonderful.
Of course, Guliji wanted a dog, so they mainly looked at the cat and dog section.
"Is this a Shiba Inu? It's so cute!" Ren Baiping asked, looking at the yellow and white dogs that were surrounded by a circle of them.
“It’s quite cute!” Cheng Qicai agreed with him.
“Look, doesn’t that look like that viral dog meme?” Ren Baiping asked, pointing to one of them.
“It does look somewhat like it…” Cheng Qicai looked in the direction he was pointing, and it did indeed look a lot like the dog in the meme she often posted.
Gu Rongqi, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke up: "This is not a Shiba Inu, it is an Akita Inu. Shiba Inus are medium-sized dogs, while Akita Inus are large dogs; moreover, Shiba Inus have curled tails, while Akita Inus have upright tails."
As Cheng Qicai and Ren Baiping listened to Gu Rongqi's explanation, they observed that the dog's tail was indeed straight.
Ren Baiping said, "Haha, then I must have mistaken them for each other. They do look very similar."
“The difference is still quite big,” Gu Rongqi said, pointing to a dog in another direction. “Look, that’s a Shiba Inu over there.”
Cheng Qicai looked in the direction Gu Rongqi pointed, and after comparing the two sides, said, "It does look a bit big from this angle!"
"Moreover, Shiba Inus have lighter fur, while Akita Inus have darker fur," Gu Rongqi continued.
“I didn’t expect you to know so much about dogs,” Cheng Qicai said with a smile. “Unlike us, we’re just here for the fun of it.”
“Yes, we’ll just watch the show.” Ren Baiping agreed with Cheng Qicai.
Gu Rongqi looked down at her and said, "When I was raising Golden Bean, I read some information about dogs, including introductions to some breeds."
"Huh? You're raising it according to the book?" Cheng Qicai knew that Gu Rongqi was a dog lover, but she didn't expect that he was raising Golden Bean according to the book.
For some reason, she remembered those parenting articles she read online; the first one suggested raising children according to the book, the second one suggested raising them like pigs…
According to this theory, Gu Rongqi's next dog should be raised as a pig.
When Cheng Qicai's family used to keep dogs, they would eat whatever they ate, and after eating, the dogs would run all over the mountains and fields, and at night they would gather in groups and howl like ghosts outside.
She couldn't help but ask, "Gu Rongqi, would you like to get another dog?"
Gu Rongqi didn't know why she asked that, but he still shook his head, "I don't want to."
"Why are you asking this?" Gu Rongqi asked again.
"It's nothing, I was just asking." Cheng Qicai didn't want to tell him about the strange and unusual thoughts that were going on in her head.
I reckon if she said that, Gu Rongqi would just be speechless.
Gu Rongqi pursed his lips and looked down at Huang Jindou, whom he was holding.
As they were chatting, they suddenly remembered Gu Liji and the others. Turning around, they found that Gu Liji and Ren Baiping had disappeared.
"Hey, where are they?" Cheng Qicai looked around.
Gu Rongqi shook his head. "I don't know."
"Then let's give them a call." Cheng Qicai took out her phone and called them, but no one answered.
"Why isn't anyone answering?" Cheng Qicai asked anxiously.
"It's alright. They probably weren't paying attention while looking at other stalls and got separated. Let's just wander around this area; we might bump into them," Gu Rongqi reassured her.
Cheng Qicai thought about it and realized that there really was no other way. No one answered the phone, and there were too many people at the exhibition. It seemed that she could only rely on luck.
The two moved on to other places.
Many of the exhibitors brought their pets, but it was relatively rare to see people walking local dogs like them. At least Cheng Qicai hadn't bumped into another Chinese rural dog yet.
Cheng Qicai strolled around for a while and thoroughly enjoyed herself, being able to pet cats and dogs for free; she was overjoyed.
She was drawn to a long-haired tortoiseshell cat lounging lazily on a cat tree, and excitedly said, "Gu Rongqi, let's go see that cat!"
Cheng Qicai walked ahead first, while Gu Rongqi followed behind, holding Huang Jindou's hand.
Cheng Qicai reached out and petted the cat, stroking it from head to tail.
When she reached the tail, the tortoiseshell cat's tail gently hooked her hand.
When she reached out to touch its long broom-like tail, its tail deftly dodged her hand, and then it let out a soft, gentle "meow" at her.
Ugh, that wretched cat actually seduced her!
Cheng Qicai then held its paw and squeezed its paw pads. This cat was incredibly well-behaved.
Cheng Qicai wanted to take it back with her, but unfortunately, she couldn't afford it.
She turned to look at Gu Rongqi, "It's so cute, don't you want to touch it?"
How can you tolerate something so cute? Are you a ninja?
Gu Rongqi looked down at the golden bean at his feet, then reached out and stroked the cat's back.
"Isn't its fur incredibly soft to the touch, like silk?" Cheng Qicai asked excitedly.
"Hmm." Gu Rongqi stroked her twice and then withdrew his hand, shifting his gaze to her. "You like cats?"
"I like all cute things!" Cheng Qicai said matter-of-factly.
"Miss, if you like it, you can buy it and take it home," the shop assistant said from the side.
Upon hearing that she was asked to buy it, Cheng Qicai immediately withdrew her hand, awkwardly turned around, and tried to leave.
She can't afford it!
But out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Gu Rongqi hadn't moved, so Cheng Qicai withdrew her foot.
She looked at Gu Rongqi and asked, "You want it?"
Gu Rongqi remained silent.
But the shop assistant next to her said, "Miss, this cat is very gentle. If you like it, you can pet it some more. It's okay if you don't buy it."
Then she turned her attention to the golden bean under her feet, "Miss, you take such good care of your dog, what's its name?"
“Golden beans!” Cheng Qicai replied.
"This name is interesting. Why is it called this?" the shop assistant asked again.
Cheng Qicai also wanted to know the answer. She turned to look at Gu Rongqi, her eyes full of curiosity.
Because this name really doesn't seem like his usual naming style, she's always wanted to know why.
Gu Rongqi looked back at Cheng Qicai, and their eyes met. Cheng Qicai lowered her eyes in alarm.
She didn't understand why the person answering the question was looking at her; it wasn't her who named it.
Gu Rongqi sighed inwardly and replied, "Because some people say she's a golden bean."
"Oh, so it was you who picked it up, miss!" The shop assistant looked at her.
No, it wasn't me, don't slander me!
Cheng Qicai quickly said, "No..."
Gu Rongqi simply hummed in agreement.
Cheng Qicai's mind went blank for a moment after he hummed in response, and she couldn't help but wonder if it was really her who had named her.
But as she recalled the scene of her and Gu Rongqi finding the dog, she couldn't stop thinking about it, and she absolutely never said a single word like "it's Golden Bean".
