Chapter 86
The 'master' that Cornetto mentioned was actually just a child, who looked quite young. Oh my God! Lin Gui exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the little baby in the camera, who was only half the height of a railing.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Xia Yu asked curiously.
Originally, Lin Gui chose to bring Xia Yu because he looked more intimidating. But now, if it was a child, Xia Yu could not be brought along, for fear of scaring the child to tears.
After observing the situation for a long time, Lin Gui put the telescope in Xia Yu's hand and went to meet the child alone.
But Cornetto was like a traitor. Before Lin Gui got close, it discovered her and called out to the child. Lin Gui felt something was wrong and ran over immediately. Sure enough, the child heard the call, looked up and saw Lin Gui, and immediately ran out.
Lin Gui was at a loss and had to run while shouting, "Hey, wait a minute." The child didn't listen and ran even farther. Lin Gui had no choice but to shout over there, "If you don't want this puppy, we don't want it either. Throw it out immediately." This was to intimidate the child. Although the child was quite courageous, he still lacked experience. Perhaps he was too worried about Keaiduo and believed what Lin Gui said.
Lin Gui ran to the railing panting. Keaiduo stood beside her, looking at Lin Gui for a while and then at the child. Lin Gui asked the child who was standing there motionless to come over so that they could talk slowly.
The little boy hesitated for a while, but finally came over. It would be easy to communicate with him if he was obedient. Lin Gui was most afraid of meeting children who couldn't understand what was being said.
Looking at the child who slowly walked towards her, Lin Gui was sure that he was not very old. He seemed to be only up to her waist. "Little boy, are you here to play with Keaiduo?"
Lin Gui couldn't reveal that she knew about the secret relationship between him and Cornetto yet, so she could only guide him step by step. Sure enough, after hearing Lin Gui's words, the little boy nodded, but just nodded without saying anything. He looked very nervous and sweating profusely, even though there was still some sunshine at noon.
After Lin Gui inquired about the little boy and confirmed that his parents were not nearby, he let him into the base and have lunch here.
While eating, Lin Gui casually said, "It seems Cornetto likes you very much. He often doesn't talk and looks unhappy here. We are all worried that he has depression. After all, he is a puppy abandoned by his owner."
The little boy ate his meal, listened to Lin Gui's words, and then saw the many puppies in the base, all of whom seemed quite lively. So he asked Lin Gui, "Can it really get depression?"
"That's right. It's easy to get sick when a puppy is away from its owner." In order to get the truth, Lin Gui exaggerated the seriousness of the matter.
Then he asked, "Little boy, how did you get in touch with Cornetto? And where are your parents? It's very dangerous to be outside alone, and you're so young. If your parents don't come to pick you up, we'll have to call the police to take you back this afternoon."
When Lin Gui first met the child, he asked him if he knew his parents' phone number. It was very dangerous to leave a child alone outside.
But the little boy was unwilling to cooperate, so Lin Gui said this to put some psychological pressure on him. Xia Yu also came over. After Lin Gui gave him the telescope, he had been watching the situation there. It was indeed difficult to take action when he saw that it was a child, but now that he was in their base, he came over to take a look, and he always felt that the child looked familiar.
Finally, the little boy could not stand the pressure and confessed. His name was Zhao Zhiheng, he was only ten years old and in the fourth grade of primary school. This Cornetto was the puppy they raised. He secretly heard that his parents were going to sell Cornetto, so he called the base and asked the people at the base to rescue the dog.
As for how he knew about the base, it was because Lin Gui’s store promotion activities were really big. Zhao Zhiheng’s primary school was one of the better primary schools in Pingshi. The children who went to this primary school either had good family conditions or had good grades. Obviously, Zhao Zhiheng was the one with good grades and was admitted to their primary school by passing the intelligence test.
Many of the families with pets in the elementary school are customers of Ertu Snack Shop. Zhao Zhiheng originally wanted to save money to buy snacks for Keaiduo, so he naturally learned about Lin Gui’s shop and also learned about Lin Gui’s base.
After knowing that his parents were going to sell Cornetto, he realized that he was powerless and his words were of no use, so he pretended to be nonchalant about selling Cornetto to let his parents down, and only then did he have time to call the base.
With all these things happening, he is worthy of being a kid who has passed the intelligence test. When Lin Gui heard that he was only in the fourth grade of elementary school, her heart almost jumped out of her chest. This kid is so brave that he dared to run so far away secretly by himself, and his parents were actually at ease. It would be terrible if something happened on the way.
"Oh my God, you are so smart at such a young age." Xia Yu sighed after hearing all these stories. The gap between people is so huge. When he was ten years old, he was still learning to ride a bicycle and couldn't keep up. This kid is a talent.
"So what are you thinking now?" Lin Gui asked carefully. Looking at the little boy's expression, it was obvious that he still couldn't let go of Cornetto. Such a smart child, Lin Gui had to communicate with him about Cornetto's future life.
"Actually, I just came to see Maomao today. I want to know how it is doing here. I'm a little worried about it." Cornetto's original name was Maomao. Now Lin Gui has to start considering whether to restore Cornetto's original name.
"But do you come here every week? We have records here." Lin Gui softly broke Zhao Zhiheng's cover-up.
Zhao Zhiheng looked embarrassed for a moment and explained, "I just missed it."
Lin Gui believed this explanation. It was normal for a child to miss his good friend, but Lin Gui was more curious about how he found the location of the base correctly, and whether his parents were worried every time he went out.
Little Zhao Zhiheng solved Lin Gui's doubts. Because his grades were so good, every time he came out, he said he came to ask questions to the teacher. Originally, Lin Gui's base was not in the city center, and Zhao Zhiheng's home was also in the suburbs, in the same direction as the base. It only took half an hour to take the bus, so the time he spent out was not very long, and his parents were not worried.
Besides, his parents didn't care much about him. That's right, any parent with a little empathy and compassion would not sell the puppy they had raised for several years.
It is true that good bamboo shoots come out of bad bamboo. "What if Maomao is adopted by someone else?" Lin Gui asked the core question. This issue must be considered in this base. Of course, now he comes here every week to disturb Maomao's mind, so Maomao naturally won't have too much enthusiasm for other people.
"If that family treats Maomao well, I would be willing to do it." Zhao Zhiheng said dejectedly with his head down.
"But you often come to see Maomao now, which is not conducive to its next stage of adoption." As Maomao's current person in charge, Lin Gui must consider this issue. And from Maomao's own point of view, it has not forgotten Zhao Zhiheng. Instead, it looks forward to seeing him every time.
"Then I won't come here anymore. Can you guarantee that Maomao will always be fine?" Zhao Zhiheng said this in a crying voice. It was obvious that he was very reluctant to say that he was leaving Maomao.
Lin Gui didn't want to break up the couple. This matter has become a little tricky now. Maomao and this little classmate are obviously heading for each other, which makes it difficult. It's really hateful. Why can't God arrange a pair of reliable parents for Zhao Zhiheng? It's okay if they are a little stupid.
But Xia Yu, a tall and strong man, was moved by their friendship. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Maomao will stay here. Come and see him when you have time. I will take care of him for you."
"Really?" Little Zhao Zhiheng looked at Xia Yu as if he were an angel, his eyes not quite clear.
Lin Gui's words were not as quick as Xia Yu's, so it was not a good idea to stop him now, nor was it a good idea to agree. However, Xia Yu obviously also thought that this base belonged to Lin Gui. Like Zhao Zhiheng, he looked at Lin Gui with flashing eyes, and Lin Gui was speechless.
It's okay for a child like Zhao Zhiheng to have this look, but it's really weird for Xia Yu to have this look. Lin Gui was defeated by this weird style and finally agreed, but she still wanted to emphasize one point: "If Maomao has someone else he likes and he is willing to be adopted, you can't interfere at all." This matter is very important. You can't just care about people's feelings without considering the feelings of the puppy.
In addition, Lin Gui decided that Maomao's name would still be Keaiduo. After saying goodbye to one environment and coming to a new one, one has to make some changes.
Little Zhao Zhiheng also had to change his words. These were small things, and he accepted them easily. He said to Lin Gui, "Sister, wait until I pass the junior high school entrance exam and go to college, and then I will bring Keaiduo back."
Lin Gui calculated how many years it would take. Cornetto is currently three years old. She just hopes that Zhao Zhiheng will take it away before Cornetto turns ten, so that it can be taken care of in its old age.
After Lin Gui agreed, the child was obviously very happy. His face was no longer wrinkled and he showed a smile that he should have at his age. Before, Lin Gui was still wondering why Zhao Zhiheng didn't ask his parents to keep the dog, but now it seems that Zhao Zhiheng knew his parents very well. If he asked his parents, the Zhao parents might find the decision-making power as parents in this matter, and finally get the upper hand over Zhao Zhiheng, and instead intensify their demands on him.
It's very strange that some parents are very contradictory. On the one hand, they hope their children will get better and better, but on the other hand, they want to always find something wrong with their children.
After finishing his meal, Zhao Zhiheng happily went to play with Cornetto. Arriving at the dog cafeteria, he spotted Cornetto, laughing heartily, among the many other playful puppies. He was puzzled. Huh? Is this what a depressed puppy looks like?
Lin Guisa's panic was soon discovered.
