From now on, whenever any of Li Zhongxiao's relatives or friends get dumped, cheated on, or even have a fight with their partner, they'll all come bothering me. I'll be cleaning up their messes every day! I'm not some distant relative of Li Zhongxiao's, busy with all this trivial stuff!
"Um... I'm sorry, I have something to do. Let's talk about dinner later." Wang Yao was so frightened that he didn't dare to eat Li Zhongxiao's meal. He felt more at ease listening to Zhen Huai cursing at home.
"Hey! You have to come! I'll talk to the boss in a bit and then I'll go invite you..." Li Zhongxiao persisted on the phone, but Wang Yao slammed the phone down.
You think I'd go just because you ask me? You think immortals are so easy to persuade? Immortals don't even need to eat, they're not tempting at all!
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yao went through the back entrance of the Wenming Building, found a small shop, bought a bottle of soda, got some change, and planned to take the bus home. Although Wenming Road was desolate, it was located in the city center, and there were still many buses.
Wang Yao took the bus back to Fuqiang Road and then went into Fanrong Lane. Just as he was about to head home, he suddenly saw a brightly dressed middle-aged woman walking towards him, holding a bulldog.
Wang Yao recognized the older woman; she lived not far from his house. In the days since he transmigrated, he'd only seen her dancing in the small park at the alley entrance every evening, but he'd never seen her walk her dog. Was this… a sign of improved living standards? Or had her compassion inflated?
"Hey Xiao Wang, look at my bulldog, what do you think? Let me tell you, this is a purebred Lansfield bulldog, unlike Old Xi's yellow dog downstairs, which is just a mongrel! It's low-class and worthless."
“My daughter has been urging me to get a dog, but I told her that I wouldn’t want one unless it’s a foreign breed. Look, my daughter specially mailed one back to me from overseas, which cost quite a bit of money. Yesterday, three people brought it over with several bags of foreign dog food.”
The old woman grabbed Wang Yao and kept showing off to him. Wang Yao listened to her and nodded repeatedly with a smile. He thought to himself that he had always wanted to find a marriage partner for Huang Li, but he had never succeeded. He also wondered where Bai Fu from Wang Jiabao's family had gone.
"A dog has been delivered right here, isn't that perfect for Huang Li?" Wang Yao thought to himself, and his spirits lifted. He flipped his hand, and an iPad appeared in his palm. When the old lady saw Wang Yao take out the iPad, she assumed he was going to take pictures of her bulldog, and her face lit up with a smile.
"Oh my, I knew it! Little Wang has a good eye for talent in our Prosperity Lane. He recognized my bulldog's special qualities at a glance. Let me tell you, my James was drinking purified water in the foreign territory just a few days ago. The person who brought him here said the tap water in the foreign territory is pure..."
While listening to the old lady's rambling, Wang Yao quietly opened the interface panel. Just as he was about to make a selection, he suddenly realized a serious problem: he needed to figure out the dog's gender first, otherwise it wouldn't be very responsible to Huang Li, whose dream was to be a good mother.
Looking down, he saw the bulldog lying on the ground, staring at him fiercely. It looked like a male dog, but its lower body was in close contact with the ground, so Wang Yao couldn't see clearly and couldn't tell its gender.
“My daughter works for a company in the foreign-owned area now. She asked me to come over, but I’m not willing. My son-in-law is a foreigner, and communication would be inconvenient…”
"James, are you male or female?" Wang Yao asked, looking down. He knew that Huang Li could understand him, and guessed that the bulldog should be able to understand him too, so he decided to ask first to make sure he didn't get the wrong dog on the leash.
Unexpectedly, the bulldog glanced at Wang Yao sideways, opened its mouth, and actually spoke a string of foreign words. Holy crap, this dog just came from overseas and hasn't learned to speak human language yet! Wang Yao had never learned any foreign languages and was immediately dumbfounded, not knowing whether the bulldog had understood his question or not.
The older woman standing nearby, upon hearing Wang Yao ask whether the bulldog was male or female, thought he was asking her. To her, James's string of foreign words sounded like dog barks, and she couldn't tell whether it was foreign language or human language.
She quickly tugged at the dog's leash and said to Wang Yao, "It's a male, definitely a male. My daughter said she'd also mail me a female..."
Hearing the older woman confirm James's gender, Wang Yao felt relieved. He then selected James on the interface panel and found the oriole that was courting Zhen Huai.
Upon seeing Huang Li's appearance, Wang Yao felt a lump in his throat. He hadn't seen the big yellow dog for two days, and it had lost a lot of weight. It was pitifully clinging to Zhen Huai, trying to snuggle into his arms again and again.
But Zhen Huai cursed something in the interface, shoving Huang Li around. Huang Li's dog-like eyes were full of sorrow, and tears were about to flow. This is what they mean by the most pitiful woman being abandoned. She still loves him, but he has already fallen in love with someone else.
"Tap tap tap..."
"Note: The host is attempting to create a marriage between James and Huang Li. Huang Li is already in a relationship. Continuing to create a marriage will only earn 0.1 merit points. If you give up, you will lose 100 spiritual points."
Wang Yao silently confirmed this in his mind, and immediately saw James suddenly straighten up, his head swaying back and forth, his dog nose sniffing alertly.
Almost simultaneously, at Zhen Huai's egg stall downstairs from Wang Yao's house, an egg suddenly rolled out, tracing a stylish arc along the asphalt pavement of Fanrong Lane as it rolled forward.
The egg rolled in the direction where Wang Yao and the old woman were standing. Whether it was because the asphalt had softened in the sun or because the egg was protected by magic, the egg rolled down without bumping or hitting anything, moving rapidly under people's feet.
