Upon hearing this, the stray dog froze on the spot.
It looked at the boy in front of it, at his eyes filled with pity and warmth.
In a daze, it seemed to recall some unpleasant memories.
His bright eyes were once again shrouded in shadow.
The dog slowly took two steps back, pulling away from his petting.
It looked at the dogs playing with their owners on the lawn, and then at the boy who was petting it despite the dirt.
How it longed for a home to take it in...
But.
It knew it was unworthy of those wonderful things.
Just like its previous owner, who abandoned it because he disliked that it was a mongrel and then bought a pet dog.
It never wants to experience that feeling again in its life.
It would rather wander the streets alone, starve and freeze to death, than be abandoned again...
"Come to our home, we won't look down on you, and we certainly won't abandon you."
The boy seemed to see right through it and said the words it had always dreamed of hearing.
It stood there, staring incredulously at the boy.
Gradually, the light in its eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Woof!"
The dog barked excitedly, wagged its tail wildly, and pounced on its new owner.
"My name is Wen He. It's a pleasure to meet you. From now on, we are family."
Wen He stroked it with a gentle smile, showing no disgust at the dirty mongrel.
"My name is Cheng Yudie, and you can be called Xiao Huang from now on." Cheng Yudie liked it very much too.
Wen He could see her own reflection in it.
Cheng Yudie could also see Wen He's shadow in it.
It was so sensible, so humble, and so pitiful.
I don't care if others give me even a little bit of charity, even if I am met with harsh words.
It smiled gratefully the whole time, and only started eating after the other person had completely gone far away.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Little Yellow's barking was very loud, and it kept jumping back and forth between Wen He and Cheng Yudie.
It seemed to be loudly showing off to the dogs on the lawn.
It will finally have a home.
It finally has a loving owner.
The owner who neither despises it nor abandons it.
Wen He and Cheng Yudie took him to a nearby pet hospital, where they gave Xiao Huang a check-up and a cleaning.
"The dog is fine, just a little malnourished and a bit old, so you'll need to pay more attention to it," the veterinarian explained briefly after the examination.
"How old is Xiao Huang?" Cheng Yudie asked curiously.
"It's eight years old, and it was probably a stray dog before. Stray dogs often suffer from malnutrition, sometimes going hungry and sometimes full, and they may not get enough sleep, so their lifespan is generally shorter."
"Oh, I see. Thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions."
After Xiao Huang finished cleaning, it looked surprisingly beautiful.
It is a very classic Chinese rural dog, a big yellow dog with black spots on its tongue.
Xiao Huang never imagined that he could have a home again, and receive love and warmth once more.
Little Yellow was very happy the whole way, wagging its tail non-stop.
We're home!
As they opened the door to their home, the scene that greeted them took Xiao Huang by surprise.
Looking at its spotless new home, it wondered if it was all just a dream before it starved to death.
"Brother, Sister Yudie, you're back! And you brought a dog with you?" Wenze put down his guitar and excitedly greeted them.
"Its name is Xiao Huang. We found it on the roadside, and it has been living with us ever since," Wen He explained.
"Little Yellow? Great! I've wanted to have a dog for ages!"
Wen Ze jumped for joy upon hearing this incredible news.
He happily patted Xiao Huang's head and introduced him, "Hello Xiao Huang, I'm Wen Ze."
"Where's Duoduo? I haven't seen Duoduo."
Cheng Yudie craned her neck and looked around but couldn't see Duoduo.
"Where is it? Under the bed, there's a pair of glowing green eyes." Wen He realized where Duo Duo was.
"Hahaha, look how scared it is! This is the first time I've ever seen Duoduo so cowardly," Cheng Yudie teased.
"Little Huang, don't worry. Duoduo has never seen a dog before, so it's normal for it to be a little scared. After a while, it will get used to it and naturally won't be afraid anymore."
Cheng Yudie knew that Xiao Huang was a very sensible dog.
She was afraid that Xiao Huang would become depressed because Duo Duo didn't like it.
"Woof!"
Little Yellow seemed to understand and let out a happy shout.
"Has Duoduo never seen a dog before? I think sometimes you're quite dog-like, Sister Yudie..." Wen Ze said without thinking.
"Little brat, say that again? Do you believe I'll rip your skull open and use it to skip stones on the water?!"
"I was wrong, Sister Yudie... Sister Yudie is the gentlest, most beautiful, cutest, and kindest person in the world!"
Wen Ze's will to survive is off the charts.
After a series of rapid punches, Cheng Yudie's face immediately lit up with a smile.
"You know how to talk," she said chuckled.
"How did your practice go today?" Wen He asked, glancing at the guitar.
"It's alright. I can currently master five chords, but I'm still a bit rusty when it comes to switching between them. I'll practice more tonight," Wen Ze said truthfully.
These days, Wen He has been teaching Wen Ze about all aspects of music.
It's not just about singing; you also need to be proficient in various musical instruments to make it easier to compose your own music.
In short, Wenze has a very strong desire to learn to sing and studies it almost every day.
“You learn very quickly, but don’t push yourself too hard. You’re still young. When you’re tired from practicing, take some time to play and balance work and rest,” he said.
"I know, bro. Don't worry, I'm not tired at all learning this, and I'm actually enjoying it."
Although Wen Ze said that, he felt very warm inside when Wen He told him to play more and rest more.
When he was at home, his parents loved him very much.
But they will continue to put pressure on Wenze without them even realizing it.
He felt no pressure at all with Wen He.
Wen He wouldn't ask anything of him, she just hoped he wouldn't overwork himself.
This, on the contrary, gave Wen Ze even more motivation to continue learning.
Because there are no burdens, one's mental state is very relaxed, and the overall feeling is pleasant and happy, so the learning efficiency is very high.
Moreover, Wen Ze truly treated learning music like a game; he gained a strong sense of satisfaction every time he overcame a challenge.
Just as they were getting ready to have dinner.
Wen He's phone beeped with a message notification.
Gao Chongting: "Where are you in Guangzhou? I'll come find you."
