CHAPTER 175: CHAPTER 175: THE PERSON ADOPTING THE PUPPY

"Did someone adopt the puppy?" Lin Xiaoyan walked to the counter and took over her brother’s work.

The customers waiting in line heard that someone had adopted the puppy and were somewhat reluctant to see it go.

"Oh no, the puppy’s going to be adopted, we won’t see it anymore..."

"Boss, why don’t you keep it?"

"Yeah, every time I come, it wags its tail at me and even smiles, it’s so adorable."

"Well, it’s good that someone adopted it, I hope it has a loving family, but I won’t be able to pet it when I come to buy milk tea anymore."

"Hahaha..."

Listening to the old customers, Lin Hao also felt reluctant.

However, he’s often busy with work and sometimes neglects the puppy.

He never named the puppy because he was afraid that once it had a name, he wouldn’t want to let go when someone adopted it.

He hopes the puppy finds someone who will love it wholeheartedly.

Lin Xiaoyan could see her brother’s reluctance; she actually liked the puppy a lot too.

This puppy was very obedient, never barking at home, and probably due to her brother’s emphasis, it always went straight into his room when they got home.

Also, since her brother often gave it baths and dewormed it, even with a pet at home, there was never any smell.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her brother and said, "If you don’t want to let it go, just keep it."

Lin Hao looked through the glass door at the puppy lying quietly in the cage, his heart heavy with reluctance, but he pitied it more for being stuck in a cage every day.

Lin Hao shook his head, "It deserves someone who loves it, I’m not the right person."

After speaking, Lin Hao walked into the workspace and took out a large bag of things he had prepared for the puppy over that period.

Lin Hao walked out of the shop, and as soon as the puppy saw him, it immediately got up and jumped around, wagging its tail.

Lin Hao patted the puppy’s head, "Behave yourself, when your new owner takes you home, make sure to be good, okay?"

"Woof woof... whimper... woof woof..."

The puppy seemed to understand Lin Hao’s words, whimpering at him.

Lin Hao lovingly rubbed the puppy’s head, then stood up and looked outside, unsure if the person coming to adopt had arrived.

Just as he looked up, he saw a man in a black trench coat walking towards them.

The man felt Lin Hao’s gaze, his eyes briefly showing a faint darkness, but he quickly smiled and walked briskly over.

"Hello, I’m Zhang Zhe, the one who contacted you yesterday about adopting the puppy."

Zhang Zhe walked up to Lin Hao, smiling as he introduced himself.

He looked down at the lively puppy in the cage, feeling very satisfied.

At the same time, he eagerly anticipated bringing it home.

Lin Hao looked at Zhang Zhe, "Are you still in school? You seem quite young."

Zhang Zhe looked handsome, about twenty years old, with a youthful look in his smile.

Hearing Lin Hao’s words, Zhang Zhe laughed, "Hahaha, no, I’ve been graduated for several years, I’m already twenty-seven."

Lin Hao couldn’t believe it, "No way!"

Only a year younger than him!!!

Why does Zhang Zhe look younger than him?!!!

Zhang Zhe laughed, taking out his ID card, "Look, I’m really twenty-seven, I’ll turn twenty-eight soon."

Lin Hao took Zhang Zhe’s ID, glancing at it, it was true!!

Looking at Zhang Zhe’s youthful face, Lin Hao felt a bit frazzled.

"Does it have a name?"

Zhang Zhe squatted down, gently petting the puppy’s head.

Lin Hao snapped out of it and returned Zhang Zhe’s ID, "No, I thought whoever adopted it could name it."

Zhang Zhe nodded, looking at the puppy, "I already have three dogs and five cats at home, let’s call it Little Nine!"

"You have so many cats and dogs at home?" Lin Hao was surprised.

Zhang Zhe nodded, "Yes, I love animals, if only my family would allow it, I’d love to have a space at home just for all kinds of animals..."

Lin Hao was deeply moved, thinking this person must be very kind-hearted!

Everyone who loves animals has a soft and kind heart.

Lin Hao brought out the things he had packed, "These are the toys, clothes, and dog beds I bought for it...

Oh, this bag of dog food is new and unopened, you take it too, I noticed it really likes eating it."

Zhang Zhe took them, "Thank you, it seems you really like Little Nine."

Lin Hao looked at Little Nine one last time, "Yes, I like it a lot, but I’m always busy with work, I don’t have time to take care of it...

It will be up to you from now on."

Zhang Zhe promised, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of it and treat it like family!"

"By the way, if you miss Little Nine, you can find ’Eight Mischief Makers at Home’ on Douyin.

I regularly post about them there."

Lin Hao immediately took out his phone to search and was surprised to find that Zhang Zhe’s account had over one million followers, filled with short videos of cats and dogs...

Lin Hao followed the account, "I followed it, I’ll keep up with it."

"Alright, then... I’ll take it away now." Zhang Zhe stood up and said.

"Okay..."

Lin Hao hid his reluctance, placing the leash on Little Nine and handing it to Zhang Zhe.

"Little Nine, bye-bye."

"Woof woof..." Little Nine seemed to sense it was going to leave, excitedly clawing at Lin Hao.

Looking at Little Nine’s expression, Lin Hao almost burst into tears but held back.

Zhang Zhe saw Little Nine’s reaction, squinting and then smiling, "Looks like Little Nine doesn’t want to leave you either."

Lin Hao smiled silently, "Goodbye, perhaps we’ll have a chance..."

He thought about it, "Actually, never mind, goodbye."

Originally, he wanted to ask if he could see Little Nine again in the future, but then thought it might make Zhang Zhe uncomfortable, since it already had a new owner.

Zhang Zhe acted as if he didn’t hear Lin Hao’s words, holding Little Nine and bidding farewell to Lin Hao.

"Wait a minute."

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyan came out of the store.

"Yanyan?"

Lin Hao saw his sister come out and quickly looked inside, finding the staff handling customers at the counter.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the puppy with reluctance, handing a milk tea to the new owner of the puppy.

"Thank you for adopting the puppy, here’s some milk tea from our shop for you to try, and thank you for taking care of the puppy."

Zhang Zhe’s eyes lit up seeing Lin Xiaoyan, "You’re welcome, it’s my pleasure."

Lin Xiaoyan handed the milk tea to Zhang Zhe, "Try our shop’s milk tea."

Zhang Zhe smiled, reaching out to take it, "Thank you."

As he accepted the milk tea, his fingers ’accidentally’ brushed against Lin Xiaoyan’s hand.

This would normally be overlooked as an accidental touch, but Lin Xiaoyan frowned.
