As expected, Xiao Baiwan's arrival caused a series of chaos at home.
Speaking of which, Xiao Baiwan and Dahei were like kings meeting kings. Every time he saw Dahei, Xiao Baiwan would rush up and yell at him. Although Xiao Hong had told Xiao Baiwan countless times before he came, Lu Lingxi estimated that Xiao Baiwan didn't remember it at all, and he still wanted to pounce on Dahei the first time he saw him.
Lu Lingxi had a terrible headache, but he couldn't push Xiao Baiwan back, so he had to let Dahei avoid Xiao Baiwan, and patiently comforted Xiao Baiwan for a long time before Xiao Baiwan got used to the environment without Xiao Hong around.
"You really have a short memory." Lu Lingxi touched Xiao Baiwan's head, "Didn't you remember a single word that your uncle told you to do?"
After spending these days together, Lu Lingxi has seen through Xiao Baiwan's fierce appearance and his true nature. Fang Lei once said that Tibetan mastiffs have low IQs and are at the bottom of the dog class. So even though Tibetan mastiffs have incredible fighting power, they can only be used as fighting dogs, not police dogs. Xiao Baiwan has personally proved this statement with facts.
Although Xiao Baiwan didn't know what Lu Lingxi was saying, his animal instinct told him that he felt comfortable around Lu Lingxi. He placed his two front paws on Lu Lingxi's shoulders affectionately, and came over to wash Lu Lingxi's face with his saliva. This was his way of expressing his closeness to Xiao Hong, but Xiao Baiwan forgot that Lu Lingxi's small body was no match for Xiao Hong. The little lion-like figure pressed down on him, and Lu Lingxi was almost crushed. He finally managed to avoid Xiao Baiwan's big furry face.
After settling Xiao Baiwan in 101, Lu Lingxi turned back to Yan Yue. As soon as he entered the door, Dahei sniffed his nose, rushed up without saying anything, and enthusiastically washed Lu Lingxi's face again. Accustomed to Dahei's usual calmness, Lu Lingxi was a little surprised by Dahei's behavior. Thinking that the previous order to Dahei to avoid him hurt Dahei's heart, Lu Lingxi stayed with Dahei for a long time to comfort him.
Before going to bed at night, Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue talked about the behavior of Dahei and Xiao Baiwan. As Yan Yue listened, his eyes gradually became strange and he laughed softly.
Lu Lingxi looked confused, "What's wrong?"
Yan Yue pressed Lu Lingxi under him with a little force. His eyes were as bright as stars. He looked at Lu Lingxi intently and said with a smile, "It's okay. I just remembered that the puppies were fighting for territory."
Lu Lingxi: “…”
The smile in Yan Yue's eyes deepened, and he kissed Lu Lingxi's eyes and whispered, "Xiaoxi is mine, and they can't get her."
After he said that, he kissed Lu Lingxi gently. Lu Lingxi closed her eyes obediently, thinking that Yan Yue's behavior was no different from that of a puppy marking its territory.
Because he went to bed late at night, Lu Lingxi did not get up the next day. While he was sleeping, Dahei and Xiao Baiwan were about to tear down the yard. The two dogs faced each other early in the morning, biting each other silently with bared teeth. Xiao Baiwan's advantage is his huge size, while Dahei's advantage is his agility, and neither can do anything to the other. Yan Yue was holding a notebook and checking his emails by himself, and had no intention of interfering with the fight between Dahei and Xiao Baiwan. In Yan Yue's opinion, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. In the past, Dahei and Xiao Baiwan were suppressed by someone and could not fight. Now they stay under the same roof every day, and Xiao Baiwan is completely stubborn. He can't last long relying on Dahei's concessions and Lu Lingxi's comfort. Just let them fight and decide the winner.
Yan Yue raised his head and glanced outside. The two dogs were fighting fiercely, but they both still kept their distance. They didn't fight to the death and seemed to be determined to stop at a certain point.
"Roar." Dahei lowered his voice and let out a threatening roar from the depths of his throat.
Xiao Baiwan was not willing to be outdone and glared at Dahei fiercely.
Just as the two dogs were about to fight each other again, Lu Lingxi faintly heard a noise outside. He stood up and walked out while calling, "Dahei?"
Dahei's ears trembled, and he put away his cruelty. He jumped onto the balcony in a few steps and squatted on the ground with a calm face. Xiao Baiwan was slower than Dahei in reaction, and he was still baring his teeth and threatening Dahei.
When Lu Lingxi came out, he saw Xiao Baiwan's angry face. Comparing the two dogs' current appearance, it was obvious that Xiao Baiwan had taken the initiative to provoke Dahei, and Dahei had been giving in to him. Lu Lingxi's heart softened, and he first touched Dahei's head, hugged Dahei and praised him for a long time. After all, Xiao Baiwan was a guest at home, and Dahei, as the host, should give way to Xiao Baiwan.
Dahei called out softly, and Lu Lingxi laughed, scratched Dahei's chin, and whispered, "I like Dahei the most."
After praising Dahei, Lu Lingxi had to comfort Xiao Baiwan. Having already used patting and scratching the chin on Dahei, Lu Lingxi found a small comb and started to smooth Xiao Baiwan's hair. As a result, when he raised his hand, he saw a strand of hair being pulled down by the comb. Lu Lingxi was stunned for a moment, "Why is Xiao Baiwan losing hair?"
Yan Yue looked at Dahei meaningfully. Dahei narrowed his eyes, with a kind expression, and squatted quietly on the ground.
Because of Xiao Baiwan's hair loss, Lu Lingxi took Xiao Baiwan to Dong Zhi for a checkup. Generally, Tibetan mastiffs shed hair non-seasonally either because of parasitic infection and skin diseases, or because they eat too much meat, have an unhealthy diet, lack vitamins, protein and other nutrients, which leads to a decrease in skin resistance. Dong Zhi checked Xiao Baiwan and felt that there was nothing wrong with him. However, seeing that Lu Lingxi was anxious, he thought for a while and advised: "Let him eat less meat and more vegetables in the next few days and see how it goes."
Yan Yue listened to Dong Zhi's instructions, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Xiao Baiwan with a little sympathy, and continued to hide the fact that he had fought with Dahei in the morning.
Xiao Baiwan has a big appetite and once set a record of eating half a sheep in one meal. Usually, Xiao Hong feeds him meat-based food. He eats a basin of bones in one meal, and some vegetables and fruits, emphasizing nutritional balance. Like Dahei, Xiao Baiwan refuses to eat dog food and only likes to eat meat. But since Lu Lingxi listened to Dong Zhi, Xiao Baiwan's food has been reduced from a basin of bones to half a basin, and the rest is some vegetables suitable for dogs. These vegetables are all grown in the greenhouse in Yongchun, and Hu Zi specially delivers them every time he delivers food to the small restaurant.
Xiao Baiwan was very dissatisfied with not having enough meat to eat, but he could not express his feelings to Lu Lingxi, so he could only start eating vegetables every day. When Lu Lingxi was not paying attention, the two dogs would fight from time to time. Every time they fought, Xiao Baiwan would be bitten off by Dahei. Compared with Dahei's short hair, even if he sheds hair, it is not obvious. In Lu Lingxi's eyes, Xiao Baiwan's hair loss is getting worse and worse.
Lu Lingxi talked about this with Xiao Hong on the phone, and Xiao Hong laughed and said, "It's okay. Since it's not a parasite, let Xiao Baiwan eat less meat and more vegetables."
Xiao Baiwan was eager to complain to Xiao Hong and kept shouting into the phone.
Xiao Hong was quite satisfied with what he heard. "Xiao Baiwan looks very energetic. Xiao Xi took good care of him."
After hearing this, Yan Yue looked at Xiao Baiwan with even more sympathy.
Just after Xiao Baiwan had been eating vegetables for more than a week, the Lingshui River purification project officially started bidding. The project was not large in scale, and the higher authorities only allocated more than 200,000 yuan, which meant that they could not make much money. However, this was compared with other environmental protection companies. For Lu Lingxi, the growth of Vallisneria had little cost, and the 200,000 yuan allocated was equivalent to pure profit. With little competition, Micro Gardening Technology Company won the Lingshui River purification project.
Lu Lingxi read the bid prepared by Yan Yue. In addition to the mention of Vallisneria sinensis, there were many scientific terms that he could not understand.
"What is a purifying factor?" he asked, pointing to one of the nouns.
Yan Yue pretended to think, then spread his hands towards him, "I don't know either. An Jie thought of it."
Lu Lingxi: “…”
Yan Yue laughed and explained, "If we only talk about the effect of bitter grass, I'm afraid that before the Lingshui River is purified, the bitter grass in it will be pulled out by those who are interested. If we make up some scientific terms like we are doing now, other people's attention will be drawn to these terms, such as purification factors, and I guess no one will pay attention to bitter grass anymore."
Lu Lingxi didn't expect this to happen, and he had a complicated expression on his face, not knowing what to say. His expression was lively, and his thoughts were all on his face. Yan Yue felt itchy in his heart, and couldn't help but lean forward and kiss Lu Lingxi, whispering: "Business is like a battlefield, and all is fair in war."
Lu Lingxi came back to his senses and curled his eyes, "Should we pretend to put something in the water then?"
Yan Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, "Just pour a bottle of mineral water."
Lu Lingxi: “…”
After the project was confirmed, the two took some time to take Dahei and the others back to Lingshui Village. Before getting in the car, Lu Lingxi arranged Xiao Baiwan to sit in the front passenger seat, and he sat in the back with Dahei and Xiaohei. Strangely enough, since Xiao Baiwan had a conflict with Dahei two days before he came, Lu Lingxi had never seen the two of them conflict again. Although Xiao Baiwan and Dahei had always hoped to live in harmony, Lu Lingxi always felt that something was wrong.
He patted Dahei's head and told Yan Yue about his doubts. Yan Yue felt relieved and said to Lu Lingxi, "Maybe Dahei and Xiao Baiwan have a mutual understanding and don't necessarily fight each other every time they meet."
Lu Lingxi didn't really believe this, but he couldn't find an excuse to refute it. He looked at Dahei and then at Xiao Baiwan suspiciously, and remembered another thing. "I wonder when mom and the others will be back? Xiao Baiwan has been losing hair and it doesn't seem to be getting better. It eats vegetables every day and doesn't look energetic."
He was really worried about Xiao Baiwan's hair loss. Although it didn't look serious, it would definitely be a problem if he continued to lose hair like this for a long time.
A strange smile flashed across Yan Yue's eyes. He was powerless to solve this problem. Ever since Dahei discovered that Xiao Baiwan's hair loss equals eating vegetables, he only scratched Xiao Baiwan's hair every time he fought with him, and did nothing else. Sometimes Xiao Baiwan ignored him, but he would deliberately provoke Xiao Baiwan. Yan Yue saw it, and while he found it funny, he also felt that Xiao Baiwan deserved it. However, Xiao Baiwan has learned his lesson in the past two days and has stopped fighting with Dahei. It seems to have realized that after each fight, there will be fewer bones in its mouth, and fighting and the number of bones have finally become equal.
Thinking of this, Yan Yue suppressed his laughter and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Baiwan shouldn't lose his hair in a few days."
He spoke with such certainty that the feeling that something was wrong in Lu Lingxi's heart became even more obvious.
