Chapter 91 Smells Good
"Let's start training now," the trainer said. "Although MAX has retired, he still needs to follow basic instructions."
In the next two hours, the trainer patiently taught Pei Song various instructions.
From the most basic "sit" and "lie down" to the more complex "stop" and "wait".
MAX was extremely cooperative and every move he made was extremely standard.
"It's very smart," the trainer said with relief, "and it trusts you very much."
Pei Song rubbed MAX's ears, feeling deeply touched.
Shi Yanchen stood aside, watching the scene quietly, with the corners of his mouth rising unconsciously.
It's finally time to say goodbye.
The trainer helped MAX put on a new collar and carefully checked the leash again.
"It's still young," the trainer said. "Although it's retired, it still has the instinct of a rescue dog. We need to take it out for more activities."
Pei Song nodded seriously: "I will definitely take good care of it."
But just as he was about to leave, MAX suddenly stopped, broke free from Pei Song's hand, trotted back to the trainer, and rubbed his leg gently with his head.
The trainer squatted down, gently stroked MAX's head, and choked up and said, "Good boy, you have to go with your new master, he will take good care of you."
MAX let out a low whimper, as if expressing his reluctance to leave.
Shi Yanchen saw Pei Song's red eyes and whispered, "Do you want to let the trainer go with us to the new home? This way MAX will feel more at ease."
The trainer readily agreed.
The group drove to Heguangli, a high-end residential area in the south of the city.
When you open the door, you will see a spacious and bright flat.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the city skyline, and every detail in the living room has been carefully designed.
There is a special activity area on the balcony, which is equipped with training equipment and a comfortable dog kennel.
MAX quickly fell in love with this place.
It happily circled the balcony several times, curiously checking every corner, its tail keeping a happy rhythm all the time.
The trainer looked at this scene and smiled with satisfaction: "It will definitely live well here."
Before leaving, MAX lay quietly at Pei Song's feet and watched the trainer leave.
This time, it did not try to catch up.
"This will be your new home from now on." Pei Song touched its big black face and said softly.
MAX rubbed his palm with his wet nose, as if to respond "I know".
Watching this scene, Shi Yanchen quietly sent a message to his assistant: "Donate a batch of supplies to the training base every month."
"Okay, Mr. Shi." The assistant replied immediately.
Shi Yanchen took Pei Song to visit the entire house.
The space of more than 300 square meters is designed to be simple and warm, with excellent lighting.
The entire wall of bookshelves in the study is filled with books on economics and management, all of which are areas of interest to Pei Song.
Pei Song stood in the living room and asked in surprise: "When did you prepare these?"
"We have already prepared everything." Shi Yanchen said, "We are just waiting for you to come back."
Pei Song looked at MAX lying drowsily on the balcony and felt extremely satisfied.
He turned to look at Shi Yanchen: "Thank you."
Shi Yanchen reached out and pulled him into his arms: "Silly boy, why are you being so polite to me?"
Not only did Pei Song not struggle, but he snuggled into his arms again and put his face against his neck.
Shi Yanchen could feel his eyelashes gently brushing across his skin, bringing a tingling sensation.
"You smell..." Pei Song whispered, his breathing a little unsteady, "It smells good."
Shi Yanchen's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Like?"
Pei Song didn't say anything, but buried his face deeper.
The tips of his ears had turned completely red, and that little patch of red was especially noticeable in the sunlight.
Shi Yanchen looked at him like this, feeling soft and itchy in his heart, and couldn't help but tighten his arms.
The sunlight shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving the entire living room a warm golden hue.
"Go and have a rest," Shi Yanchen said, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll ask Auntie to prepare it."
When Pei Song heard the word "Auntie", he immediately jumped out of his arms and looked around vigilantly: "Where is Auntie?"
Shi Yanchen was amused by his appearance.
"Don't be nervous. Auntie only comes over at five o'clock every afternoon." Shi Yanchen said, "We are the only ones at home now."
Pei Song breathed a sigh of relief: "I want to cook for myself."
"Your current physical condition..."
"I'm fine," Pei Song said, "I've been lying in the hospital for so long, I want to move around."
As the night deepens, the city lights gradually light up.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can have a panoramic view of the night view of the entire city.
There was an enticing aroma wafting through the kitchen as Pei Song was busy at the cooking table.
He carefully cut the cooked chicken breast into small pieces, then took out the carrots and pumpkin that he had prepared in advance and carefully cut each piece into even-sized dices.
"MAX, wait a minute." He said softly, looking at the German Shepherd Dog circling around at his feet.
MAX tilted his head to look at him, wagging his tail happily, obviously looking forward to the aroma from the kitchen.
Shi Yanchen walked over and looked at Pei Song's serious profile with gentle eyes.
But when he noticed the pile of carefully prepared ingredients on the cooking table, his brows frowned slightly.
"What are you doing?" He walked over and stood behind Pei Song.
"I'm making a nutritious meal for MAX." Pei Song said without turning his head, his hands moving non-stop, "The trainer said that the diet of search and rescue dogs must pay special attention to nutritional balance."
Shi Yanchen watched him sort the ingredients into containers, labeling each one with the amount and proportion, and couldn't help but laugh: "Are you going to open a pet restaurant?"
"MAX used to have a nutritionist to take care of him at the training base," Pei Song said seriously, "I have to make sure he eats healthily at home too."
As he spoke, he took out another food bag, poured out a pile of chicken livers and started processing them.
Shi Yanchen took a closer look and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Snacks for training," Pei Song explained as he cut. "MAX is very smart, but he still needs some rewards to strengthen the training effect. The snacks on the market are not healthy enough, so I want to make them myself."
Shi Yanchen looked at the time. It was almost eight o'clock. "What about our dinner?"
"It will be ready soon," Pei Song said without looking up, "Just wait a moment."
Shi Yanchen stood by and watched him concentrate on cutting the chicken liver into small pieces, putting them into the oven, and then started to make the dough for dog biscuits.
MAX lay at the kitchen door, watching all this eagerly, and occasionally whimpered softly, as if urging him to do so.
"Okay, okay," Pei Song said with a smile, "your dinner will be ready soon."
He divided the prepared food into appropriate portions and put them into MAX's food bowl.
MAX immediately ran over happily, but did not lower his head to eat immediately. Instead, he sat there obediently waiting for instructions.
"So good," Pei Song patted its head, "Eat it."
After getting permission, MAX lowered his head and began to enjoy his dinner.
Shi Yanchen looked at this scene and couldn't help but say: "It seems I have to compete with it."
"Hmm?" Pei Song didn't react to the meaning of his words for a moment.
Shi Yanchen walked over and put his head into his neck from behind: "It is said that people who keep dogs will put all their thoughts on the dogs. It seems to be true."
