Alipay received, 元.
Because Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, the other party thought he disliked the amount and added, "Then I'll round it up for you."
And then, it became this price.
Actually, Chen Yuan didn't dislike it.
Twenty thousand, thirty thousand, eight thousand, nine thousand, aren't they all Yu Zi's good intentions?
Small gift, great affection.
The kid is so sensible. It specifically fetched a gold bracelet for me. Am I supposed to post a video and say it's not sensible?
Besides, Yu Zi didn't even spend any money.
And such a large sum of money is equivalent to Xia Xinyu's living expenses for the past two years.
Although Chen Yuan isn't the young master of some wealthy family, he hasn't really experienced any extremely difficult times either. So, this money is like icing on the cake for him.
Whether it's for traveling to Ning City to see the sea next week, or for the occasional celebration of improved exam scores with a lavish meal, it's all very important military expenditure.
It can also fulfill the promise to make Xia Xinyu gain five to ten *jin* (approximately 2.5 to 5 kilograms) before college.
Does she want to gain weight?
Mind your own business, *ba zong* (overbearing CEO).
If she gains weight, at least when she goes home next time, her relatives will be able to see that Xinyu is living a good life and isn't going hungry.
——.
However, the first thing Chen Yuan thought of was another old dog.
"24 yuan."
After buying a beef sausage and a bottle of mineral water at the supermarket, Chen Yuan checked out at the front desk.
"Boss, can I borrow your scissors?"
"Sure."
Chen Yuan took the scissors, cut off the iron ring sealing the package, tore open the plastic, returned the scissors to the boss, took a bite, and left the supermarket.
"Is that how you eat it?" The boss slowly typed out a question mark.
Isn't that stuff for cooking?
"Yeah, it tastes okay, some *xi kang* (bran, slang for food for animals) for Yu Zi."
Although he saved Yu Zi, Yu Zi has also given back to him a lot, so this gold bracelet includes not only Xinyu's meal expenses, but also its meal expenses.
That sounds a bit... arrogant.
It should be, it has Yu Zi's food expenses, and atonement coupons for Saint Xinyu.
Chen Yuan didn't know where to find the dog, after all, this Yu Zi doesn't have a phone. He could only go to the place where he fed it yesterday and try his luck.
Sure enough, the dog was by the flower bed.
But it wasn't listlessly curled up, but sitting on the ground, looking left and right, as if looking for something.
Clearly different from yesterday, Chen Yuan found that its leg had recovered very well, otherwise it wouldn't be able to make this curved posture.
Too outrageous.
If this ability is used well, it should be omnipotent.
He even wanted to join the Dragon Group a little.
After joining the Dragon Group, he would no longer be an ordinary high school student. He could chat and laugh with famous big shots, solve urban mutants, martial artists, black beasts, tentacle monsters, and the Phantom Thief who wears grandpa's panties on his head, etc.... It's really *yikesaisiting* (exciting).
But after joining the Dragon Group, he wouldn't be able to send messages to Xin Bao often...
The disadvantages outweigh the advantages, never mind.
"Yu Zi, look what I brought you?"
Chen Yuan took out that long, thick... sausage and called out to the dog.
"..." The dog was stunned, just like an idol drama heroine.
Then, it slowly turned its head and looked at him.
At that moment, it was as if the air had frozen.
A glance that lasted an eternity.
As if forgetting about the leg injury, Yu Zi excitedly rushed towards Chen Yuan. Seeing this, Chen Yuan quickly warned, "Don't bite my hand, you silly dog!"
However, just as he thought Yu Zi was rushing over to snatch the food, it acted as if it hadn't seen it at all, completely ignored it, and directly jumped into Chen Yuan's arms, then shouted at him in a very anxious tone, "Woof woof! Woof... woof woof!"
Chao Zi, update the language pack, please add a Zhou language.
Huh? Zhou language, Zhou Yu?
Damn it Yuan, you're a genius, get out of the hospital!
That's right, Chen Yuan realized as soon as it barked like that. Yesterday in the dream, he suddenly left. In its eyes, wasn't it like he had disappeared in place?
That must have been scary, but this dog is still okay. Such a big thing happened, a person suddenly disappeared into the void, and it didn't even mention it.
A real man.
"No, Yu Zi seems to be a girl."
While the dog was eating the sausage, Chen Yuan lifted one of its hind legs and was surprised to find that it wasn't the same gender as another old friend.
"Mom, what is that big brother doing?"
"Don't stare, we need to respect everyone's special hobbies."
Chen Yuan: "..."
Hey, come on, respect your daughter's grandma.
Yu Zi was very satisfied with the sausage, and it also drank the mineral water that Chen Yuan poured into the paper bowl next to it. Seeing that it had basically recovered and was so happy, Chen Yuan felt relieved.
Then, he left with peace of mind.
However, he hadn't gone far when he felt the sound of 'has has' panting behind him.
So he turned his head and saw Yu Zi following behind him. Because he stopped, it also stopped, behaving as obediently as if it had been specially trained, full of loyalty, filial piety, propriety, justice, integrity, and a sense of shame.
"If you don't eat it, the sausage will be snatched away by pirate dogs." Chen Yuan pointed to the sausage behind him.
Yu Zi glanced back, then turned its head back to look at Chen Yuan, without moving a step.
Chen Yuan walked forward, and it followed behind.
"But I can't keep a dog."
Chen Yuan looked back at it and said helplessly, "The apartment has poor soundproofing, and the landlady is a loyal cat lover. There's no room for you in my house."
"..."
Dogs can understand tone, so it drooped its head, but still didn't go back to eat the sausage, as if throwing the problem to Chen Yuan, wanting him to solve it.
Spoiled dogs have the best lives.
"Hey, although I can't keep you, I can tell you where my home is. Follow me."
Chen Yuan really couldn't refuse this Yu Zi who was good-looking, not lewd, clean, and also a girl dog.
And Yu Zi happily turned around in place, then ran back to pick up the sausage and followed behind him.
A few minutes later, Chen Yuan arrived downstairs.
"This is my home. You can come and play when you have time, but don't disturb the neighbors, and you can't poop randomly."
After instructing Yu Zi, Chen Yuan prepared to go upstairs. But this dog, as if it didn't understand, followed him up.
Chen Yuan turned back and stopped it several times, telling it to stand still and not move. Finally, it understood and stood at the staircase, just watching him like that, silently...
Chen Yuan was very sad. When he was most powerless, he met the first dog he wanted to protect the most.
But Yu Zi, don't blame me for being cruel. I previously met the 47th cat I wanted to protect.
I'm just a high school student.
"Chen Yuan?"
Just then, Xia Xinyu, who was going downstairs to throw out the trash, ran into him. After saying hello, she suddenly saw a dog blocking the doorway, so she grabbed Chen Yuan's arm in fear, hid behind him, and said weakly, "What did you do? Why did you let someone block the door?"
"Why does that sound like I'm the kind of person who's late on their online loan payments?"
"Then what is this?"
After discovering that this dog wasn't barking or roaring, was very emotionally stable, and also had an injury on its leg, Xia Xinyu felt a little more at ease and gradually loosened her grip on Chen Yuan's arm.
"Yesterday I saw it was injured and bandaged it up. Then, today it followed me."
"I see... But our apartment doesn't allow dogs."
"That's the problem. I don't know how to explain the primary and secondary contradictions to it at this stage." Chen Yuan said helplessly, "It doesn't seem to understand human language."
"That sounds like you're scolding someone..."
After taking a few steps, Xia Xinyu threw the trash into the trash can. Then, she walked up to Yu Zi, squatted down, smoothed her skirt, and stroked its head: "What a pretty dog."
The dog was just about to bare its teeth, but then it saw Chen Yuan behind her, pointing at it with a serious face, as if saying: If you're mean to her, you'll become dog meat hotpot. You can try it.
So, the expression of bared teeth turned into a healing smile.
"What a cute dog, good girl, good girl."
Xia Xinyu is okay with both cats and dogs, but she prefers cats, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen two cat plushies. But if two people raise a clean, cute dog together, that seems pretty good too.
"Yu Zi, be good, go back and wait for news first. I'll look into the dog issue."
Chen Yuan knew that the closer the relationship, the harder it is to give up, so he could only say it so cruelly.
Then, the dog lowered its eyebrows again, quite dejected.
"Yu Zi?" Xia Xinyu was a little strange. "Why is it called that name?"
Chen Yuan: "emmmmm..."
"Its full name, wouldn't be the Zhou Yu you often talk about?" Xia Xinyu asked, feeling a subtle sense of embarrassment. "Really?"
"It's just a coincidence, it just happens to share a name. It comes over as soon as I call Zhou Yu, it's not my fault." Chen Yuan quickly explained.
"Then it thinks you gave it this name."
"So that's how it is..."
"Also." Looking at Chen Yuan, Xia Xinyu continued to ask, "Since you gave the dog a surname, why not call it Chen Yu?"
"That sounds like you're scolding me, no way."
"You even know that calling a dog a person's name is scolding them?"
Xia Xinyu thought that Chen Yuan was very mature. Most of the time, he gave her a sense of dependence that made her want to rely on him. But at certain moments, she felt that he was indeed a typical boy.
He likes to watch , never misses an episode, stares at small excavators for a long time when he sees them on the road, and then says leisurely, 'I'll definitely buy a small excavator when I have money,' and he's especially obsessed with seniority disputes. If he misses out on taking advantage of Zhou Yu even once, he feels like he's losing out.
Well... he's quite cute.
