☆、20、Little Ears Finds a Wife (2600 words)
Turning around, he saw Li Li and that woman standing behind him, holding a little girl. Even after so many years, the feeling of being hit still seemed vivid, as if he were still in pain. Li Yaxi began to tremble uncontrollably. He tried his best to suppress it, wanting only to escape as quickly as possible.
As if sensing his presence, Li Li looked at him, stunned. He was unsure whether he was stunned by Li Ya Xi's beauty or by the uncanny resemblance to her face. He reflexively grabbed the boy who was about to leave. "...Ya Xi? You are...Ya Xi?"
Li Yaxi tried her best to control herself and treated him like a stranger, "Sir, is there something you need? Could you please take your hand away?"
Li Li then realized he was still holding onto someone else. Seeing those unfamiliar eyes, he was a little unsure. "Oh, sorry, are you... Ya Xi?"
Li Yaxi looked coldly at Li Li, glancing at the woman behind him with a strange expression. "So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"
Li Li didn't know why he was so agitated. Yes, so what? When the child left, he was relieved and never intended to look for him. Now that he had met him, what difference would it make if they recognized each other? Was he going to take him home? Impossible.
Li Yaxi gave him a sarcastic smile, too lazy to waste words with him, and ignoring what the woman had said to Li Li, she turned and left. Anyway, they had nothing to do with each other anymore; all that remained were those painful memories.
Sometimes Li Yaxi wondered if, back then, that woman hadn't abused him like that, would he have been so closed off and unable to see Feng Zihao's good qualities? Would he have fallen head over heels for Han Weiming's sweet words and been doomed to ruin? He had considered revenge, but he didn't want to have anything to do with the past anymore.
Having experienced both gain and loss in his past life, in this life he only wants to quietly cherish Feng Zihao's love, provided that no one else bothers him. It'll be soon; Li Li will be transferred to W City by his company, probably a year from now, just after he graduates from junior high and starts high school.
Li Yaxi looked up at the sky; time really flies.
If it weren't for meeting them, Li Yaxi wouldn't have returned to City B so soon. He didn't want to stay here; it was all a nightmare! Li Yaxi said goodbye to Aunt Song and the others, saying that there was a last-minute competition at school that required him to return. Although they were reluctant to let him go, they didn't insist that he stay. However, Song Qing made a point of leaving his phone number before leaving, saying that he would come to see him when he got to City B.
Li Yaxi didn't return to his courtyard house; instead, he went directly to a villa in Changping District that he hadn't yet lived in. He hired several people to clean it, and Li Yaxi would sometimes take Xiao Erduo for walks. The houses here were quite far apart, and there were lawns and green trees everywhere, making for a very nice environment.
Li Yaxi sat on the stone bench watching the little dog running around happily, feeling a little guilty. Since picking it up, he hadn't really fulfilled his responsibilities as its owner, except for feeding it and occasionally playing with it. It was a good opportunity to find the little dog a mate; it would be good for it to have a companion.
Li Yaxi returned to the villa and started posting messages online. Naturally, she wanted to find a purebred Alaskan Malamute for her wife. She also posted a picture of Little Ears looking dashing, and quite a few people came to inquire.
Li Yaxi wrapped Xiao Erduo in a blanket and showed her the photos one by one, saying, "Xiao Erduo, look at them yourself. Whichever one you like, we'll go find her and bring her back to be your wife."
Little Ears really looked at the photos very seriously. When it saw a picture of an Alaskan Malamute lying on the grass sunbathing, Little Ears barked and wagged its tail happily, indicating that it had made its choice and wanted this one to be its wife.
Li Yaxi looked at the dog and found its physique quite good. She guessed that it was the dog's lazy posture while lying on the ground that attracted Little Ears. Li Yaxi found it amusing; it seemed that the space had raised Little Ears to be even more clever than a human.
After contacting the seller of the dog, who happened to be in City B, Li Yaxi arranged a time and place and went to meet them with Xiao Erduo.
When they arrived at Oriental Plaza, Li Yaxi saw a person standing there with a dog in the distance. Li Yaxi squatted down and gently tapped Little Ears' head. "Little Ears, go and see for yourself. If you're satisfied, we'll take your wife home."
Little Ears heard Li Yaxi turn around and slowly walked towards his wife. And it must be said, he actually had an elegant air about him. Li Yaxi found it amusing; this little rascal was trying to leave his wife with a gentlemanly impression.
Chen Chen saw a very handsome Alaskan Malamute walking towards his Xiao Qi and guessed that it was that person's dog. He looked around and saw a tall, slender boy standing in the distance.
The puppy circled Xiaoqi twice, not sniffing her scent, just observing. Xiaoqi, on the other hand, went up to sniff the puppy and seemed quite satisfied. The puppy barked twice in the direction of its owner, and only then did the boy walk towards her.
As the boy drew closer, Chen Chen finally got a clear look at him. He was so beautiful that she didn't know what words to use to describe him; even the most flawless and jade-like face couldn't compare.
Li Yaxi nodded to Chen Chen in a friendly manner, then bent down to look at Xiao Erduo. "Have you chosen? If you like it, we'll take it; if you don't, we'll leave."
Little Ears wagged its tail and tugged at Li Yaxi's trouser leg. Li Yaxi looked up at Chen Chen and said, "Hello, my name is Li Yaxi. This is my dog, Little Ears. It seems quite happy with yours. How much?"
Chen Chen was taken aback by the boy's directness and was stunned for a moment before she reacted. "Uh... my name is Chen Chen. Because the school doesn't allow dogs, I'm looking for a buyer for this dog. Can I ask for no money, just have time to see it?"
It seems this person really likes puppies. While it seems fine to look at them, Li Yaxi doesn't like trouble. "Your request isn't unreasonable, but I'm sorry, I can't agree. I don't like complicated things. If you can buy cleanliness with money, that would be best. If not, then you'll have to find another buyer."
Chen Chen hadn't expected the boy to refuse and was momentarily speechless. Little Ears, hearing Li Yaxi's words, nibbled at his trouser leg and whimpered, indicating how much it loved the dog. Li Yaxi looked at Little Ears with a headache. He was already an irresponsible owner, and if his wife couldn't even satisfy it, he felt even more guilty towards Little Ears.
Unable to resist the pitiful and pleading look in Xiao Erduo's eyes, Li Yaxi had no choice but to back down. "Mr. Chen, it seems Xiao Erduo really likes your dog. How about we compromise? You name your price, and I'll buy it. You can also contact me online. If you have time and want a dog, I can bring it out for you to see. But it's best not to do it too often, as I'm about to take the college entrance exam and don't have that much time."
Although she could tell the boy was young, she didn't expect him to be taking the college entrance exam soon, and hesitated, "The college entrance exam is very important. Can you manage to take care of two dogs?"
"Don't worry about that. It's the same whether you raise one or two. Little Ears will take good care of your dog and won't let me mistreat it."
Chen Chen could tell that Li Yaxi's dog was very intelligent and could completely understand its owner's meaning, but he was a little skeptical about asking it to take care of another dog. However, he guessed that Li Yaxi was just joking and didn't take it seriously. Perhaps he thought Li Yaxi would treat animals well because he respected his dog's wishes so much, or perhaps he simply couldn't refuse the handsome boy's request.
Finally, an agreement was reached: Chen Chen would give the dog to Li Yaxi, but on the condition that, in addition to allowing them to see the dog whenever they had time, he would give Li Yaxi a puppy if she had puppies after Chen Chen graduated and started working in two years and was able to raise them.
Li Yaxi returned to the villa with the two dogs and tossed them into her spatial storage. "Little Ears, you take good care of your wife. I don't have time for you."
Little Ears silently watched its master, but considering that he had found it a wife, it decided not to argue with him. It barked once and led its wife away.
