Was it bad that I love not one, but two of my brothers friends? 

-

When I was younger I followed my older brother around all the time. His friend, Caesar, often called me a dog. I never minded. As I grew older he never stopped calling me dog, I guess because I never stopped following them around. 

But now, he called me his pet.

Warning: There is a lot of sex in this story. If you don't like that, I advise not reading it :)

After traveling to the world of Naruto, Anlan obtained a system called a god-level store manager, and began to build various shops in the Ninja world: gourmet shops, Internet cafes, pet shops, comic shops, custom shops...

Other people might not know about Sun Yinian’s hot temper as much as his daughter, Sun Xiaomeng, knew it all too well. Although not a young man anymore, her father was still a dreamer. He named her "Xiaomeng". "Meng" in Chinese means dreams. "Xiao" referred to the fact that she was born at dawn. 
Her father’s dream was to grow Pets’ Home into the largest comprehensive breeding base in the country. Therefore, he was shooting for all kinds of pets to be available such as cats, dogs, rabbits, turtles, hamsters and lizards. Fortunately, he didn’t include birds and fish. 
Since when did her father change his dreams?
She reached out her arm to see if her father was sick…
Sun Yinian patted away her hand, "I am fine!" 
Although he said so, she didn’t think he was fine. The real drunks would never admit that they were drunk. Her father seemed worried and sighed from time to time. 
"I know you are going to ask. I will tell you inside," he pointed at the store and walked in. 
She followed. 
Even though the fans were turned on in the rabbit barn, the special smell from rabbit waste was still strong. There were only a few mini lops, Siamese cats, snow hares and hotots. There were around the three or four hundred Yuan price point. The breeding rabbits were all gone. 
"What is going on? You scared the crap out of me!" she asked.
It was a strange day for her. First, Zhang Zian talked about setting up a membership system for his store. Second, her stubborn father changed his mind.  
Was she just having a bad day? 
"I don’t want to sell those anymore," her father sighed, "I don’t know. I should’ve known! Pets like rabbits and hamsters are small, cheap, low in profit, difficult to sell and even take a lot of labor to take care of… I just can’t make up my mind to get rid of them. I was hoping they would become popular one day and I could sell them all overnight…Hehe, that was… anyways, finally I see what is the money maker!"
Sun Xiaomeng remained silent. Rabbits and hamsters are cute, but they do not have an emotional tie with humans like dogs do. They are also not as pretty as cats. Their only advantage is easy maintenance. However, if someone really wants a pet that is easy to maintain, they probably do not want a pet.   
Honestly, her dad was more likely to win the lottery than seeing rabbits and hamsters become popular. Pets like lizards were even less popular. 
It was. 
He was curious how come her father suddenly understood this. 
"Sell them all!" her father sounded like he was trying to encourage himself, "our base was too large before. Staff was too busy and sometimes even resigned…in the future, we will focus on cats and dogs exclusively and that will be great!"
"Dad, is it a money issue?" she asked cautiously, "I have some money saved up. You could…" she was really worried about her father.  
Her father stopped her. "It isn’t about money."
"What happened?" she asked. 
Her father looked at her, bowed down his head and said, "Amazing Fate Pet Shop ordered a bunch of pets. He paid for half and also a 50% deposit for the other half. I sold the breeding rabbits and hamsters which will save some feeding money. Everything comes together. This is the best month in a few years! I want to give the staff some bonus for their hard work…"
"Wait! Wait! How come Zhang Zian bought more stock? I thought he didn’t sell the pets from last time," Sun Xiaomeng was totally confused. 
Her father said, "Who told you he didn’t sell the inventory from last time? I delivered to his store a few days ago. Everything was gone! His business is doing great! As we were unloading the pets someone bought a Siamese cat. He bought that cat from us for 3000 Yuan, and guess how much he sold it for…"
Her father waved his hand and said, "5000! The cat was shipped from our base to his store. It didn’t even get in his shop and he made 2000!"
"Um…" Sun Xiaomeng remembered Zhang Zian priced a Siamese cat at 4000 Yuan. That wasn’t cheap. She wondered why he raised the price and people continued to buy from him. Were they stupid? 
Her father felt this was unfair, "I had the staff move the pets and followed the customer. I asked him if he would like another cat. I will sell a Siamese cat for 4000 yuan."
Her brows furrowed, she criticized her father, "Dad, that’s not right. How could you do that?"
Sun Yinian Opened up his eyes, was about to defend himself and sighed, "you know what that guy said? At the beginning, he was interested. He asked if my Siamese cat could do stunts. I was confused. That was the first time I heard cats could do stunts…the customer left without saying anything…"
Sun Xiaomeng was shocked. Is Amazing Fate Pet Shop changing its name to Amazing Fate Circus? They could train cats to do stunts?  
"That’s fate! This kid is going to make big money! Weird things happen sometimes and this year there are a lot of weird things!" her father smiled with jealousy. 
"Oh!" her father suddenly got excited, "have you heard another weird thing? His store provides cat bathing service. The customer has to bathe their own cat and he charges 300 Yuan for it! He would just sit there and do nothing! He also hired two young kids to help. Money comes too easy for him… Customers paid 300 Yuan, bathed their own cat and thanked him like he did a big favor to them! That was impossible!"
Unbelievable! Unbelievable!
Sun Xiaomeng could not be more surprised at those stories from her dad! 
It all makes sense now. No wonder Zhang Zian wanted to build a membership system. He had to have a good customer base.  
After all, only one thing came to her mind – He was such a big liar! 


1. Download a suspicious game
2. Catch a few magical pets as partners
3. Go through interesting daily routines and lead the pet shop to a whole new level

After that Ethan went to Elves in Alchemy Subspace and gave them the Design for the potions. Seeing Dungeon was without any monsters for Ethan closed the store and went to pet stores in the commercial District.
While walking Ethan came around few pet stores, but since they were small time stores so went in search of large stores since he wanted to by lot of them. At the center of Commercial District Ethan found the store he was looking for "Stark family Pet Store".
As he entered and went to the reception, the receptionist asked with a smile.
"What can i do for you? Are you here for buying pet or checkup for a one?"
"I want to buy a 100 goblins of tier 1 low level."
Ethan replied with a smile. Human Cultivation is divided in 10 tiers and each tier is further divided in 10 ranks. Where as Monster Cultivation is also divided into 10 tiers but here each tier is further divided in to 4 levels[Lower, Middle, Upper and peak].
Hearing that Ethan wanted to buy 100 Tier 1 goblins, receptionist  and the people around were shocked, you have to know a tier 1 low level goblin costs 1000 crystal coins so the total is 100,000 Crystal coins.
"I also want 100 dark spiders of tier 1 low level"
Hearing that they were once again shocked. Although they were staying in Main city of kingdom, since the city was far from other cities and the resources available near the city are also very low and also because city was always under the threat of beast tide from the near by mountain range so population was low and also the economy was also low compared to other cities. The only plus point of the city is the Mountain range, which bought huge income to city and also bought huge inflow of mercenaries and adventurers.
So seeing some one spending 200,000 Crystal coins directly they were really shocked. After coming back receptionist replied with even bigger smile and showed in way in.
"Sir this way please, for this huge amount our manager will handle." 
"So please wait in the resting room while i will call the manager."
"Sure"
Not caring about other's reactions Ethan went with receptionist to the waiting room.
After a while a fat middle age man about 40 to 45 years old came running with smile on his face into the waiting room, and went to Ethan.
"Hello sir, How may i call you?"
"I am Ryan Stark manager of this pet store."
Ryan asked while stretching his hand towards Ethan. While shaking his hand Ethan said.
"You me call me Ethan. So do your store sell the required amount of pets to me?"
"Yes Ethan, our store have that many pets and we can sell them to you, but it takes some time to transfer here."
 " As you see we don't store large amount of similar types of pets in a same place, so we require some time to get them here."
After shaking the hand Ryan said his piece with little sweat on his head. 
"No problem, i can wait, but still try to make it fast"
After hearing Ethan saying his piece, Ryan sighed with relief and quickly said.
"Ethan by an hour we will get all the pets you required here."
"Mary get Sir Ethan some snacks and tea and also tell the boys to get to work quickly."
After saying his piece to Ethan, Ryan turned around and shouted at his subordinates outside the door. After shouting he turned to Ethan and said.
"Sir Ethan i will get and check the process, please have some snack and tea while waiting. I will get the work done quickly."
After saying Ryan went out to check the work.

"Oh my god boss, this car is just too awesome. One step on the gas pedal and ….. I freaking love it! But boss, didn't you say you were short on funds?" Driving this brand new Ford F750 around, Robins can only be said to be excited. Yes, excited. In fact, no matter who is driving this beast, they will all be excited. Jiang Hai doesn't have his driver's license yet, otherwise there is no way that Robins would be the one currently driving.
"There is no problem. This amount of spending can only be said to be spare change." Jiang Hai said happily.
Yup, what Jiang Hai bought is the Ford F750. Normally the biggest pickup available on market in China is the F650 with a base price tag of 3,000,000 yuan. It is already big enough to be awe-inspiring. However in America, the bigger 750 already existed. The starting price of the 650 here is $35,000 while the 750 is at $48,000.
After inquiring about the prices, Jiang Hai paid the asking price without any haggling or hesitation. Swipe the card and pick up the cars. Furthermore with just this time alone, he paid for 3 trucks. 2 F750 and 1 F650. The 2 750 is for the farm while the 650 is for him to fool around with when he gets his license upgraded.
These car's prices can be considered to be pretty cheap. Compared to those supercars that easily cost a few million and on, these $500,000 pickups can only be said to be a bargain. After paying for these trucks, Jiang Hai drove off with one on the spot. The other 2 alone with Robins' old pickup will of course be delivered back to the estate by Durufle.
Along the way, Jiang Hai experienced first hand the feeling of being superior than everyone else. If he says he wasn't excited then he really is a retard. Of course the one most excited here is Robins; who is driving this beast. Their original plan was to buy the trucks first then go adopt some dogs. Generally there are a very few places which straight up sell dogs in America; especially for likes of cattle dogs. Usually people try to request them from others. If they are rejected, then will adopt some stray dogs under the condition that they are smart enough.
However now with their new car, their plans changed. After a special round trip around the town to satisfy their cravings, they reluctantly drove to the town's animal shelter. When this black beast arrived in front of the animal shelter, all the dogs inside started to bark non stop. This is also the first time a beast of this size appeared in the town. When the workers inside heard the dog's bark, they all walked out to see what the cause is and what appeared infront of them is this monstrous beast.
*Peng* *Peng* Out came Jiang Hai and Robins as they jumped down. This car is seriously big and tall. The footstep to the ground has a distance of almost a meter. But this does not trouble Jiang Hai and Robins at all as they landed on the ground.
"Hi there, how may I help you?" A nervous girl came over and said, baffled.
Although she doesn't understand cars, but seeing the car in front of her, her instincts tell her this car is very expensive. That also means these two are definitely rich. But as to why these rich people are here, she has no clue.
"Um, it's like this. I'm the new owner of the Green Forest, and I'm thinking of raising some cows. So I am currently in need of some cattle dogs, which is why I am here to see if there are any here." Jiang Hai happily explained.
The girl in front of him is around 5'3. Caucasian, a bit chubby with some freckles.
"Oh, so it's like this, follow me." Hearing Jiang Hai is here to adopt pets, although having already guessed their intentions, the girl still smiled.
In these shelters, there are no workers, but only volunteers. It can be said most of the people who work here are all compassionate. What they really want to see is the animals here be adopted by families. Especially rich families like Jiang Hai's.
"Sorry for the inconvenience." Jiang Hai muttered before following the girl in.
As soon as they entered the shelter, Jiang Hai is astonished by it's size. This shelter is really … big. There are many different species here. Not only do they house pet cats and dogs, but also other types as well. In America there really isn't any nature conservation act. As long as you have the money then you can buy (adopt) what you want. The most famous of which is Mike Tyson's tigers. As long as what you raise doesn't hurt people then go ahead, this is also why there are all kinds of pets in America.
Not only is there is normal cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters. The unconventional spiders, lizards, snakes, turtles, martens, rabbits and so on. There are also some real predators. Such as the golden eagle that is staring directly at him as soon as he entered the shelter. Behind it is even more hawks, eagles, falcons and other small sized predators.
Apart from these predators, there is also a bunch of snakes in the opposite room. Species such as the golden python and the likes are pretty common. There is also some rare poisonous snakes, like the black mamba, king cobra and so on, here as well. Due to them entering, these beasts all raised their heads and hissed at him from their cages.
"You guys really have quite a selection here." Jiang Hai exclaimed excitingly. He doesn't have many hobbies, but the raising pets is definitely one of them. Especially when it comes to raising predators, no men will say no to them. Sadly the chinese government restricts you from raising them, but now that he is in America, he really wants to try it. Seeing all these animals, he is already making plans for them.
"Yup, you just came to America didn't you? We have pets of all kinds here. The ones here are just the small ones. All the big ones are in the back." The girl said nonchalantly.
Because the American government allows unrestrained raising of pets, there are all kinds of pets in America. But there are always some morons out there who will do everything half heartedly. When they start to raise their pets, they will say they will raise them properly and so and so. But not long after, they will get annoyed with all the this.
Under normal conditions there are two ways to solve this. One is to kill it. This tends to bring in some compensation in China since you can just sell them to stores that specialize in these things, but is very rare in America. The second option would be to just throw them away, which is the option most Americans take. But there is also some policies in place such that these thrown away pets don't end up as stray animals who will cause some pandemic or something.
After passing the migrant birds, snakes, lizards, frogs, hamsters, cat, small and medium sized dogs, they finally arrived at the back of the shelter. Here is where all the big animals are sheltered, but the first thing that appeared in front of Jiang Hai is a freaking bear.
*roar* Sensing the arrival of outsiders, this beast who was originally lying down inside of it's cage suddenly stood up and roared. Seeing this more than 2 meter tall intimidating beast, even Robins began to back away. Yet due to the tattoo on him, Jiang Hai treated these animal's intimidation as nothing. Instead, it led Jiang Hai to examine this bear even more closely. Only to find it missing an eye and bear multiple scars.
"Paul, down! He is a tragic grizzly from Colorado. He was raised up by people since he was a cub. Sadly his previous owner is really a good-for-nothing. The missing eye and all those scars are all caused by them. When we found him, he was on the verge of death, but he at least is alive now. However apart from us, he has a grudge against all other humans." noticing Jiang Hai's interest, the girl explained as she hit the cage. Sure enough, the bear listened to her and lied down again, resuming its previous calmness.
Hearing her explanation, Jiang Hai nodded, but didn't say anything and continued forward. He discovered that this area for large beasts is more like a small zoo than anything else. Apart from the grizzly at the front door, there are also leopards, jaguars, black bears, river boas, and even crocodiles. According to the girl, most of the animals here are not from the Boston area. Rather they mostly came from New York ().
He can't help but acknowledge the fact that rich people are sometimes really abnormal. But honestly, Jiang Hai can also be considered a rich person. Thus, when he saw these animals, he also had thoughts of wanting to raise some. Thinking up to here, Jiang Hai shook his head and put this matter behind him, since this is not the main reason why he is here.
After following the girl to the very back of the shelter, they arrived at the section where all the big hounds are kept. The reason why these dogs are placed behind those predators is because of their sheer volume. As soon as Jiang Hai entered, all those hounds stood up in their cages and stared unwaveringly at the group. From the looks of things, these dogs aren't as friendly as you might think.
When the girl entered a particular room, she said "All the dogs here were all cattle dogs or sheep dogs previously. They were all sent here because either their owner died or because they couldn't be supported anymore. Therefore they don't have grudges against humans. They are pretty easy to handle and all had some training before. You guys can take a look and once you have finished selecting, we can begin the adoption process."

Blue sky, white clouds, lazily lying on the beach, while feeling the gentle breeze coming from the sea. Hounds at the side with marine animals chasing each other around. Cups of unrivaled wine from his personal winery with cuts of prime A grade steaks readily around. For others, life is all about pursuing money, power, and fame, but for Jiang Hai, this type of lifestyle is what he constantly dreamed of.

Please enter the text in the United States. The trend of treating pets as people is mainly for cats, dogs and cats. The owner uses money on them to be super willing, basically they will not go to a pet store to buy it.
    The cost of raising animals in pet stores is very expensive and the market demand is very small. They only account for 6% of the US retail pet market. Many successful pet stores no longer sell animals, but sell pet accessories and animal-related peripheral products. .
    After Andy got a general understanding of the situation of pet stores near Los Angeles, he couldn't help but spit out, "There are no pets in the pet store.
    There is no way but to call and ask Karl where he can buy a dog, and when he has finished talking, Carl is silent while holding the phone and said seriously: "Hey, Andy, if you really want to have a dog, I suggest You go to adopt."
    "Hey MEN, I understand that adoption should be used instead of buying and selling, but I need cubs, do you understand? Pure blood cubs, where the pet rescue center will not have the breed I need!" Andy frowned while explaining Google searched for pictures of dogs.
    "Okay, if you want to buy a dog of pure blood, you need to go directly to the kennel. As for the pet shop, I don't recommend you to do that. Although the procedure to buy a kennel is a bit cumbersome, but it is worth the money." Karl reluctantly turned With a white eye, I really don't know how to refute Andy's ideas. Perhaps the job finally said that I must fall on my head again, "Forget it, you still tell me what variety you want, and the rest of the things you do Leave it alone."
    "Oh, that's a great man, thank you very much." Andy smiled and thanked when he heard Karl was about to take over.
    "Hey, what breed do you want? Top kennels will screen dog buyers. They will ask many questions to judge the other party's level. If you go, it is easy to be rejected or despised." Carl sighed lightly. ask.
    "Bit, I want two Pitbulls!" Andy exclaimed without excitement when he thought of the video of the bite killing the Tibetan Mastiff seen in the previous life.
    "NO! Damn, absolutely not! Schett, I know, you are a trouble, a big trouble!" When Andy said, Carl Fat's face showed a fearful expression and roared angrily.
    "You don't understand at all, you can't keep a Pitbull like a novice. The kind of dog you raise is an angel. If you don't keep it, you are a demon. You are naturally combative. It represents trouble! I refuse, you still consider pulling down. The Labrador Retriever or the Golden Retriever can't really be a Siberian Husky."
    "No, no, Karl, listen to me..." Andy was a little surprised to hear Karl's growl, explaining anxiously that he refused to help.
    "NO! Andy, you need to listen to my advice on this matter. Pitbulls can never be raised. If you insist on this, I will call to tell your mother!" Karl interrupted Andy's words, threatening with ugliness.
    "Shet! I... damn you can't do that! What kind of dog is my freedom!" Andy was angry at the shameless trick of the fat man.
    "Andy, listen to me, you have a dog for the first time, you don't have any experience, and you don't know the knowledge of dogs. What you need is a docile dog, not a Pitbull. That's a disaster. Believe me, Please believe me!" Karl said persuasively. He didn't want to confront Andy, preventing Andy from angering and causing rebellion.
    "You... Schate! Well, you won, I can not keep the Pitbull first, then my second choice is the Doberman Pinscher, I want two pure cubs, and one Bengal leopard cat!" Andy did not continue to insist and accepted Carl's persuasion. However, he still chose another kind of bulldog and hung up the phone after he finished, giving Karl no chance to speak.
    Listening to the busy sound from the microphone, Carl wants to cry without tears, Dubin? Well, the Doberman Pinscher is an acceptable choice. He has a medium build, compact structure, strong muscles, great endurance and speed, elegant appearance, confident attitude, noble temperament, bravery, loyalty and obedience. But what the hell is the Bengal Leopard cat?
    Having such a willful boss is really a headache. He touched his bald head, took out his mobile phone and started to look in the address book, found one of them and dialed it.
    "Hello, Drake, this is Karl."
    "Hi, man, I have often heard people talk about you lately, what can I do for you?" Drakexell, who is eating Hollywood news, naturally understood that Karl would not call him for no reason.
    "Well, it's really something. Are you a familiar acquaintance of Doberman kennels?"
    "Hey, man, I'm Drakecell, Los Angeles is my place. You have to believe that there is no problem that Drake can't solve. However, the pure blood of Dubin is not very cheap."
    Carl listened to each other's bragging, and there was a trace of contempt in his eyes. Although he didn't really value this kind of ground snake middleman who sold news, but sometimes they couldn't be separated from them. All kinds of messy information can be learned from these The population gets it and saves a lot of trouble.
    "Price is not a problem, you must ensure pure blood, excellent appearance, complete certification, two healthy cubs!"
    Hearing Carl's request, Drake patted his chest to ensure that there was no problem, and his credit Karl still believed, and then asked again: "Oh, do you know the Bengal leopard cat?"
    "Of course, this cat is a hybrid of artificial breeding and breeding, and the breeding process is not very humane, but it is famous for its unique markings and silky fur."
    Karl pouted, and it was ridiculous to hear such grandiose remarks from people who only recognize money as Drake.
    "Hey, man, no matter how inhumane the cultivation process, I want one, to ensure quality, OK?"
    "Oh, of course, no problem, they were born to please us humans, and give it to me, I will do it as soon as possible."
    There was a sarcastic sneer on the corner of Karl's mouth, and the phone call was ridiculed. The mercy of the people just now was just a joke. These people, as long as they have money, shamelessness is their motto.
    When the unbridled sun shining on the earth slowly fell westward, the tentacles of the Xiaguang stretched down many corners, covering the green hills, beaches, and sea water with a layer of red yarn, which was particularly charming.
    Andy only wore a pair of colorful beach pants all over his body and lay leisurely on a beach chair with a small round table next to it, holding a tri-color cocktail, and picked up a sip from time to time against the sunset, which was very leisurely .
    Because Liu Yan took a leave of absence to go home to see the grandson with a fever. After finding a good restaurant and saying lunch, he drove to Santa Monica Beach, enjoying the sun, sand, waves, and admiring the charming bikini hot girl. The beautiful women with different skins are really dazzling.
    Because he was bored and didn't want to code anymore, he was a bit too busy. He didn't know how to pass the day. He didn't expect that he just wanted to take a walk on the beach after a meal. He spent leisure and fun in Santa Monica. One afternoon.
    Andy, 21, was finally able to buy wine generously. He drank the tenth glass of cocktail. The face was a little reddish. Although he wasn't drunk, he was a little bit boozy and spit out a turbid breath.
    It was mid-summer, and there were a lot of tourists on the beach. The small town in the distance was already brightly lit. The crowd on the third street was noisy, crowded, and noisy. Walking through the crowd, crossing the trestle, came to the beach, found an open space, and sat down in a free and relaxed posture, listening to the young and exciting laughter of the girls and running back and forth to release the innocent fun of the bear children Rattle.
    I don't know if it's alcohol stimulation. At the moment, Andy seems to feel out of place with his surroundings, as if he is the only one who is still. The people around him are moving at a speed that is beyond description. Inexplicable loneliness.
    Some problems cannot be solved by avoiding it. The soul is fused, but after all, Song Dawei's soul is the main body that occupies this body. Many memories of the previous life will still haunt him from time to time, and some emotions are not forgotten. .
    This feeling is really annoying!
    Andy woke up from that strange feeling, feeling his cheeks cool, and some time there were two lines of tears.
    "Nima, Wenqing is a disease and needs to be cured!"
    After sorting out the emotions and looking around, almost all of them gathered together in jokes and laughs. A few meters away, a pair of young men and women were playing, with a guitar next to the man.
    Andy's eyes lit up, and stood up and walked over.
    "Hi, man, can you borrow your guitar?"
    The whispering couple raised their heads and looked at it with the light. When they saw a handsome guy with a charming smile and full of affinity, the young girl handed the guitar to Andy happily. The meaning of boyfriend opinion.
    "Thank you, I'm on the side, sorry, bother you." Andy took the guitar and thanked.
    The man looked at the nympho girlfriend a little speechlessly, showing a helpless expression to Andy, shrugging: "It's okay."
    Pulled a little distance from the couple, sat cross-legged and gently plucked the strings a few times.
    The original Andy Jr. has been learning piano and guitar since he was a child. Although he is not very good, he has reached the level of proficiency.
    In addition, during college, Song Dawei also studied hard for the purpose of pretending to be a sister, so now the Andy Club has more guitar tracks than piano. Of course, most of them are Chinese songs.
    The strings slowly pulsed, and the beautiful melody of the "MyHeartillGoon" of the Titanic sounded. It wasn't the kind of passionate performance. It just plucked gently, flowing like a stream, very elegant and intoxicating.
    In fact, the version he played was a version of a classical guitar. When he saw the video at that time, he began to practice hard without hesitation. After some hard work, it made him have a different taste.

From the 2015 Chinese mobile game programmer Song Dawei who walked through the appendage and drowned American young writer Andy Smith in 2006, now that you are reborn, enjoy your life.

"Sir, by the most expensive option…does that mean the combat pets from the legendary class?" the salesgirl carefully inquired.
She had seen many customers ask about the pricier beasts in the store but when they saw the price…well let's just say she did not receive any sale commissions.
The duke gave a small nod which caused the salesgirl heart to flutter with hope towards the father and daughter duo.
Good lord her commission was going to be great!
"Please follow me to the back of the store my esteemed customers," she softly spoke before leading the pair through the store.
Sophie's eyes sparkled as she took in the strange and wonderful beasts all around her. There was no unpleasant smell from the animals as the indoor filtration system and the cleaning robots maintained proper hygiene.
She looked at one of the cages and there was a purple coloured monkey who waved cheerfully before turning invisible!
What seemed to be a metallic sludge was shifting merrily around a small enclosure before violently banging against the door as they passed by.
The salesgirl led them past the recreational pet section and into the combat pet zone of the store.
Sophie noticed that the animals here seemed to be more aggressive and stared harshly at her figure as she walked by.
There was now an additional label under each one of the enclosures that showed what rank the combat pet was. Sophie saw that even the common ranked combat pets would sell for upwards of one million Enas.
What was the price of a legendary pet?
She dared not think too much!
She sneaked a small peak at her father who seemed pretty nonchalant at the prospect of his daughter's reckless spending and quietly made a vow in her heart to pay him back once she entered military service.
Sophie saw a rock-like golem with beady yellow eyes that made her slightly sleepy when she gazed into them. The duke gave her a gentle tap on the head and Sophie woke up with a startled expression.
The label under the creature showed that he was merely an ultra beast.
Sophie dared not casually look at the beasts inside the enclosures anymore and just quietly followed the guide until they reached a black door with two security drones hovering menacingly in the air.
"I'm sorry my dear customers but to gain access to this room will require a deposit of ten million Enas before I can allow you inside," the salesgirl carefully explained.
The duke said nothing but simply handed the girl a black credit card which she quickly tapped against a payment machine to process the amount.
Once the payment was complete, the salesgirl took out a metal plate from her pocket and pressed it against the sealed door.
A buzzing noise was heard from the security lock and the door swung open to reveal the hidden room within.
Legendary combat beasts were notoriously difficult to acquire and only high-end pet stores would be able to apply for a licence to breed and sell. Under the laws of the Federation, these beasts were treated as biological weapons, so every sale was heavily taxed.
Even the black market would only be able to sell very small quantities under the condition that the authorities would turn a blind eye once they received a cut.
The room was surprisingly bare and only contained a virtual hub that showed the projection of a book and what seemed to be a small transporter in the center of the room.
Sophie walked inside and was taken aback by the lack of animals.
"Where are the legendary beasts?" Sophie inquired in a puzzled tone.
"Our store only has a B-ranked pet licence to sell legendary combat beasts so we cannot offer any that have already been hatched. We are only allowed to sell eggs," the salesgirl explained.
Generally speaking, A- ranked and S- Ranked pet licences were only reserved for military contractors and special individuals with extremely high security clearances.
Having a B- ranked licence was the highest licence that a commercial business could obtain.
"But for those in the lower cultivation levels, it would be practically impossible for customers to tame an adult or even an infant legendary beast."
"However, we also sell training manuals and methods to form a blood bond with the egg that the customer selects so you will be treated as a parent once it hatches which tends to make the creature easier to control."
Sophie turned to her father who gave her an encouraging nod, so she eagerly ran towards the virtual terminal to browse the available selections.
Sophie did not intend to go down the path of beast cultivation, but she figured that the extra strength would protect her in the future.
Plus, she really loved animals!
Sophie tapped the floating book and a search engine was generated which could filter all the available beasts. There was also a guide section for new users, so Sophie decided to give it a click before deciding to search.
Reading the introduction page, Sophie realised that the eggs were all cryogenically frozen and once a selection was made then they would be teleported from a hidden location to the transporter in the centre of the room.
"Let's find an adorable baby!" Sophie joyfully spoke.
The results could be filtered using a variety of options which Sophie carefully browsed before making a choice.
[Size:  Small      Medium    Gigantic]
[Ability:  None      Singular      Multiple]       
[Trainability level: Beginner      Intermediate      Master] 
[General Specialization: Power      Strength      Agility      Stamina      Lethality]
[Combat Role:  Surveillance      Fighter      Tank      Healer      Control] 
[Weight:  Light (<25 kg)      Medium (25- 100kg)      Heavy ( >100kg)  ]     
She inputted a series of commands into the search engine to narrow down the results.
The first consideration was that the pet had to be small and in the lightweight class. Sophie did not want a bulky pet because travelling would become quite inconvenient.
And she wanted to hold and hug the pet in her arms!
For the special ability section, she clicked the singular and multiple options while briefly glancing at the master option on the trainability level before giving a sigh of resignation and clicking beginner.
There was no need to lie to herself…...
The remaining options of general specialization were quite tricky as they would basically eliminate an enormous percentage of the available stock.
Sophie stood in silence for several minutes but could not seem to make up her mind.
"Dad could you help me decide what option to select for the combat role and specialization?" Sophie turned to her father for help.
"Young miss, the most popular types of combat beasts are those that have the fighter and tank class roles! They will make you near invincible among your peers," the salesgirl quickly spoke up.
The salesgirl was eager to recommend those two options as it would increase her commission quite significantly.
It was true, although each pet for sale was of the legendary status…. there was great demand for the tank and fighter classes when compared to the rest, so they were naturally more expensive.
Sophie gave a small hum of acknowledgement before waiting for her father to reply. The duke stroked his chin for a moment before giving the opposite advice,
"I think you should select a combat beast that is useful for control, surveillance or healing,"
"Why?" Sophie asked in confusion.
"Because the other roles may give you an edge among your peers at the lower levels but once you reach the qi tide stage then your opponents will easily deal with them or go for you directly," he explained.
"And it is very easy to become over reliant on external sources of strength. I'm not going to mock beast cultivators but unless they have some type of defensive cultivation art…. they are easy pickings on the battlefield."
Sophie took her father's advice to heart and selected the healer, surveillance and control classes but left the general specialization filter slot empty.
She pressed the enter button and a few small dots appeared on the screen as the AI searched the database to find all matches that included her criteria.
[Adjusting list of combat beasts based on filters selected….]
[ Searching for matches: Matches found!]
To her delight she found that exactly five pets had met her stringent requirements. The list of filters may have given the illusion that there was plenty of choices for customers, but each legendary beast was incomparably precious.
They had notoriously low breeding rates in captivity and their dangerous nature made fatalities commonplace in the industry.
The Options were:
1)Frostwing Bat
– Surveillance/ Control
- Lightweight
- Special Abilities: Frozen domain, Supersonic blast


2) Eye demon
- Surveillance
- Lightweight
- Special Abilities:  Temporal Foresight 


3) Sephyre

Oct/27/Thu/2022 8:33am


It was a bright and sunny day.


Rich's mother takes him for a walk in the city to buy groceries (which is boring).


While strolling around the city, Rich came across a pet store nearby, and started pulling his mother's sleeves, "Mom! Let's go there! I want to see the animals."


"Ok, ok. Let's go,"


The first thing they saw they went inside were hamsters running inside their wheels. 

And mice chewing on their food.


Rabbits shaking their nose. Cats staring at them with a confused look. Dogs sitting still with their tongues sticking out. Fishes waggle in the water, and birds create a soothing sound.


And countless crickets chilling inside a piece of wood...


But what caught his attention was a pair of big hamsters like creatures resting in their cages.


"Mom! Look! A guinea pig!" He said while running to it.


"Oh, you like this one kid?" The shopkeeper asked.


He's in his forties. Wearing a vintage outfit that had blue square lines, pattern shirt, and black trouser, "They're mainly rodents, but also biologically related to pigs."


"Wow! Can we keep it, Mom? Please... Pretty please..."


She hesitated for a moment before giving her answer, "No,"


 "What? Why?"


"I prefer the hamsters,"


Rich stomps the ground, and says, "But I want it!"


"Are you sure? I think hamsters is better since it's smaller, and easier to take care of,"


"No! I want a guinea pig!"


She sighed, and decided to give up, "Fine..."


His heart was pumped with excitement giving a cheerful smile.


"We'll take this one," She pointed at the one with white and brown fur.


The shopkeeper nods, and gently carries the little big creature in a cardboard box while Rich and his mother were picking a cage for it to stay.


.....

.....

.....


"Okay. There you go," Rich mother placed the guinea pig in his purple colored cage near the house exit. Letting it roam around, and get used to its new home.


"So, what are you going to name him?" She asked Rich.


"Hmm... I'm gonna name him Hurly!"


"Hurly? From the movie?"


"Yeah!"


"Alright, it's your choice,"


Rich noticed something was missing, and gasped, "Mom! where is Hurly's food! He's going to starve soon!"


"Ok, ok. I'll feed him now,"


.....

.....

.....


Ever since that day, Rich has been spending time with Hurly day and night. Literally everyday. 


Taking him for a walk around the room.


Feed him. Changes his water.


And watches movies together, "Look, Hurly. That's you on TV."


And finally. Reading storybooks for Hurly, "The big bad wolf blows the house made of straws flew away-"


"Wait a minute... Can you understand what what I'm saying?" He asked while staring at Hurly.


Hurly only walks around pretending he doesn't hear anything.


"Hmm... Nevermind. I'll read lots of stories for you until you understand what I'm saying,"


.....

.....

.....


Few months later...


The sun hasn't fully raised yet. Only dark blue lights were visible indoors.


Rich was first to wakes up in this dark morning, and rushed his way to Hurly's cage, "Good morning, Hurly. Are you still asleep?"


Hurly only stays still in the corner not responding to Rich's greeting, "Hurly?"


He pokes Hurly a few times, and feels that his body was hard as stone while still not moving at all, "Mom!"


"Mom! Come quick! Hurly is not moving!"


"Wha- what!" She jolts awake, and gets up from her mattress. Running right next to him to observe Hurly's condition.


"Hurly? Are you ok boy?" She opens the cage. Putting in her right hand inside to give Hurly a little push.


Hurly then drops like a fallen statue.


She gasped in shock while Rich was terrified.


"He's dead..." She said.


"Ah! Hurly, no!"


"It can't be helped. He's gone now,"


"How did he die... And why!" He asked while sobbing.


"I think he was sick. His left eye was harder than the rest of his body," She answered after examining him for a few moments.


"I... I noticed that... And thought he was injured. I should've known he was sick!" He said making his heart more heavier, and painful than before.


"It's not your fault. Even if we know he's sick, the vet is too far away from our place to cure him,"


"Well, it's time to throw him away,"


Rich was surprised to hear this, "shouldn't we bury him?"


"We don't have a shovel. It's much easier anyway,"


Then she had an idea, "Or... why don't we place something next to him?"


She wraps Hurly's body with paper, and places him in a box, and puts a ladder next him, "Like this ladder. He loves to climb it right?"


"Oh, I know!" Rich runs to the living room, and rips apart a piece of paper from his book on the shelves then writes something on it.


Goodbye, Hurly. We'll always remember you. Rest in peace, My friend.


He placed it right next to him, and his mother closes the box, and carried it, "Let's take him away,"


"Wait!" He stopped her.


"Hmm? Why?"


"Let me carry him,"


"Alright," She hands over the box. Rich carefully grabs it into his arms like he was about to hug it.


"Let's go,"


.....

.....


Rich and his mother were walking halfway to the large green box that was filled with garbage. Giving him a second thought, "Hurly..."


Why does he have to go there...


Tears started to force their way out, but his mother saw it, and said, "Don't cry. People are watching."


He musters all his strength to hold it back.


Rich tosses Hurly into the pile of garbage with a frown on his face, and walks away.


He wanted to turn around, and look at it once last time, but he chose not to, and hold his mother's hand, "Mom."


"Yes?"


"Is Hurly happy there in heaven?"


She was surprised to hear this question, but calmly answers it, "As long as you don't cry for him then he will."


"Alright! Then I won't!"


She smiles, and keeps on walking until they reach home.


.....

.....

.....


Few weeks later.


They've come across the pet store again, and his mother asked, "Want a new friend?"


Rich hesitated for a moment, and answered, "Yes?"


"Well, this time I'm choosing the hamsters," She said in a demanding tone.


"Ok..."


They stepped into the store, and the shopkeeper greeted them, "Oh, welcome back. How's the guinea pig doing?"


Rich breathes in as much air he could. Fighting off his sadness.


He saw Rich's reaction, and nods in understanding, "I see... Sorry for that."


Rich's mother cuts in, and says "It's fine. Do you still have any hamsters?"


"Yes, they never stop breeding. Pick as much as you want," He pointed at the hamsters.


"Oh, look at them, B. Aren't they cute?"


"Um... Yeah..."


Rich went closer, and saw the hamsters were looking at them while standing with two legs for a moment, and sniffing the air with it's little pink nose, "So cute!"


His mother was glad to see him cheerful, and had decided, "We'll take two pairs,"


"Four? Alright. Which one do you want?" The shopkeeper asked with a hint of glee in his tone.


"Got any discount?" She asked with a grind.


"No," He answers blankly.


.....

.....

.....


"Welcome to your new home everyone!"


"The home where Hurly used to live..."


His mother gave a slight cough, and asked, "Aren't you going to name them?"


"Oh, yeah!"


Rich looked at each of the hamsters, and thought for a whole minute, "Alright! The white and orange spot will be Bucky!"


"From the movie again?" She asked.


"Yes! And this white and gray will be called, Grey,"


"Are you sure? You know that's a female right?"


"I will still call her Grey," Rich crosses his arms.


"Ok, ok."


"I will call the white one, Snowy,"


"Better,"


Rich suddenly pauses for a moment, "What is this color?" He said while pointing at the last and biggest hamster.


She took a closer look.


It had white, black, brown, and a rare unique color to its fur, "I think it's brown-coffee."


He opens his mouth wide to say, "Oh..."


"Then I will call him, Diego!"


She raises her eyebrows, "The one from that cartoon show you watched? Why?"


"Because he's going to be strong and adventurous like Diego," He said with pride.


"Haha. Alright, from now on his name is, Diego,"


.....

.....

.....


Just like before, Rich treats them like how he treats Hurly.


Out of curiosity, he places them on a rope that his mother tied next to the bathroom to hang the laundry, and places a pillow under it to avoid injury.


They really walked over it.


"Wow, you guys are amazing!"


.....

.....

…..


Today, Diego was moved to another cage because…


He's too big and hostile. Fighting anyone on his way.


"There you go. Now you can't bite anyone anymore," Rich's mother said. Dropping him into the new cage.


"Bad Diego," Rich said while tapping Diego's nose.


A few days after Diego was moved, the metal cage was bent wide by being opened too much, causing the two hamsters to escape at night. Walking at every corner of the house. Exploring, sniffing, biting, and carrying… Red onions to the cage? From the kitchen? How does that fit in that small gap?


…..

…..

…..


The next morning.


"B!"


Rich forces his eyes open slowly getting up, and walks toward his mother like a moving toy using batteries that almost drain out, "What's the matter mom…" He said while rubbing his eyes.


"Why are there onions inside their cage?"


"Onions? I don't know. Where?"


"Here…" She lifts the cage from the bedding.


Rich took a closer look, and saw a half dozen red onions, interrupted Snowy's sleep, and Diego from the other side looking around confused at how the cage was lifted, "Hmm?"


"Mom, where is Bucky and Grey?"


"I don't know. Maybe they are responsible for these onions. We should look for them,"


Rich searched around the living room like playing hide and seek while his mother went to the bathroom because she's afraid that they would get wet there.


…..

…..


"Did you find them, B?"


"No,"


"Thank god they're not in the bathroom. Let's look for them in the kitchen,"


Both steps into the kitchen, and Rich heard something was rattling from the left side. He went there, and saw Bucky peeking through the boxes and random stuff then went back to hide, "Mom! I saw Bucky!"


"Where?"


"He's hiding behind here," Rich said. Pointing at where he saw Bucky.


She moves some of the objects, and saw Bucky and Grey with more onions, and bite a hole through a box.


Both Rich and his mother feel relief when they find them again, and put them back into the cage, "I'm going to close the gap with rope or wires so that they won't sneak out again."


"Oh, ok,"


"But I'm still confused how they could carry the onions and why?"


"Maybe they like onions," He said while making an idiotic smile.


"I don't think they could..." She said while still wondering.


"Well, keep an eye on them, B. I'm going to cook breakfast,"


"Alright!"


…..

…..

…..


Few weeks had passed. Everything went well, and cheerful. 


Until…


Rich was done playing with his toys in the living room, and decided to check on the hamsters.


Snowy was sleeping peacefully in the small house, and Diego was walking… Uncomfortably…


Bucky was eating.


Eating something Rich never expected Bucky would feast on…


Grey…


"Bucky! What are you doing!"


Half of Grey's head was completely devoured by his own friend.


Rich eyes were widened.


Looking at Bucky with disbelief, "Mom!"


He ran toward his mother. Trying to focus on sewing some clothes with holes, and told her, "Mom! Bucky is eating Grey!"


She frowned, and said, "Don't be ridiculous. They won't eat each other."


"No! He's really eating her right now!"


"It's not good to talk to them like that, you know. I'm really busy right now."


"I'm not lying! See it for yourself!" Rich pulls her hand, and drags her away from the couch.


"Look!"


She examined the cage, and saw what he said was true.


"Ah!" She lifts the cage from its bedding, and pushes Bucky away.


"Oh no…  Grey…" She brings a piece of cloth, and grabs Grey with it.


"Looks like we had to throw her away..."


Rich made a disgusted face, and said, "Along with the thrash again?"


"I have no choice. I'm not willing to bury her,"


Rich's jaws were crushing together, and looking away from her, "You throw her away. I'm not going."


"Alright, I'm taking her away," She drops Grey into a garbage bag.


He witnesses it with disdain. Watching her stepping out of the door to dispose of his lost companion.


Sitting down, and yelled, "Why! Why did you eat Grey!"


Bucky was surprised, but ignored him after a moment.


"Wasn't she your partner? Why did you do it?"


No response…


"Argh!" He storms off, and locks himself in the room feeling despair. Staring at the ceiling unable to move on for losing Grey.


Rich started to visit them less often ever since.


Bucky was feeling weak after a few days.


It was then a silent night. Rich couldn't sleep. So, he decided to visit the hamsters, and saw… Bucky was lying motionless in the middle of the cage, "Bucky?"


He gave a few strong shakes, and realised, "You… Died…?"


Rich sniffs a little, and feels a pressure coming from his throat and eyes, but he gains back his composure, and says, "Hmph, suits you well. That's what you get for killing Grey."


He runs back into his room, laying flat on the bed trying to forget about Bucky until he falls asleep.


…..

…..

…..


"I'm home,"


After hearing that voice, Rich quickly raises up, and gleefully hops out of his bed to greet her, "Mom! Guess what, Bucky…" 


He suddenly felt reluctant to say it, "Bucky died."


"Oh," She bows down, and sees Bucky was still lying in the middle.


"Well, I feel bad for him, but he deserves it," She brings a few pieces of tissue, and grabs Bucky with it, dumping him in the trash bag, and dispatching him the next morning.


Leaving Snowy by herself.


Just to die on her own laying in the pure white house.


"No! Not Snowy! Wake up! Don't die!" Rich couldn't hold his tears anymore, letting it all out like a flood caused by a devastating storm crashed through a solid wall.


"Out of all of the other places, she chose to die here… That's what I love about Snowy, but it's time for her to go…" She was about to get up until Rich grabbed her arms with both hands.


"Can we bury her… Please…" He pleaded.


She gave a heavy sigh, and smiled, "Alright, but only this once."


Rich then smiles like the sun appearing during a rain.


They went to the backyard, and it was only next to a huge hill. His mother bought a cleaver to replace a shovel and a cloth with Snowy inside it, "This seems to be a good place. Should we do it here?"


He nods, and she started stabbing the dirt off the ground as deep as she could, "Alright, this seems deep enough. Now, let's put Snowy inside."


She gently places Snowy in the hole, and covers it up with dirt, "Rest in peace, Snowy."


"Goodbye, Snowy…" Rich sniffs, and let go of his tears. His mother pats his head a bit before giving a hug.


"It's all fine now. I'm sure she's happy after resting her body in a safe place,"


"Yeah…! As long as she's happy,"


…..

…..

…..


Diego has been moved to the old cage since it's bigger than the one he lives in now.


Rich stares at him, and says "Ok, You better behave yourself since you're the only one left."


"Well, even though you're bad I will still be your friend. Welcome back, Diego."


He cherishes Diego a lot.


Trying his best not to harm, and lost another friend.


…..

…..

…..


It was almost the end of the weekend, Rich hadn't looked at Diego for two days, and decided to walk pass by to check on him.


"Diego!"


He fell on his knees, and stared at his last friend lying flat on the ground with his head facing sideways with his eyes closed.


His mother rushed in, and asked, "What happened! What's wrong with Diego?"


"He… Died…" He was lost in words. He felt like a boy without a soul.


"Oh… Not again…"


"Are you ok, B?" Giving him a concerned look. 


"No!"


"I'm not ok!"


"Just take him away already!" Rage and despair could be heard from his voice.


His mother could only obey, and leave the house with Diego in her hands.


Rich was staring at the empty cage. Blaming himself deep inside his heart.


He's all alone again…


No friends…


Probably never will…


Dec/1/Thu/2022 8:16am


A great day for a walk in town.


The worst part is…


Everytime they walked past the pet store. Rich will suddenly turn upset remembering the heartbreaking past.


"Want to go, and ask?" She said.


"Ask what?" He replies, giving a puzzled look.


"Like why all of them died,"


He gave a serious nod, and both stepped in the store for the last time.


"Oh, it's you two. Haven't seen you for some time," The shopkeeper said.


Rich's mother steps in and said, "Yeah, today we just wanted to ask you something,"


"Hmm? Sure. Go on?"


She then explains what happened to the hamsters for the past two months. The shopkeeper nods, and gave his answers, "I see the problem here,"


"I wanted to say the onions caused it, but I don't think that's the reason,"


"There's three things that's happening to them: One is depression. Two are illnesses. Three is the cage is cage was too small,"


"Having three or four hamsters in that cage is not big enough, and will cause depression then starting to kill each other,"


"Or, the other hamster was attacked by parasite, and caused one of them to die, and the other must take responsibility to eat or dispose it before the dead body pollutes their home,"


Rich realised what he was talking about "Bucky…"


"My guesses are the rest probably died because the parasite manage to attack all of them or their life span was shortened by over stressed,"


"I see… What do you think, B?" She turned around just to see him crying again.


"Oh! Sorry! Did I make him cry?" The asked.


"Mom… Bucky was a good guy all along?"


"They weren't happy this whole time!"


His mother ran in front of him and rested her hands on his shoulders, "No, it's not true. They were happy."


"No they're not!"


"We couldn't afford to take care of them!"


Rich calms down, and closes his eyes, pushing out his tears, trying to avoid her eyes, and says, "It's fine, Mom…"


"I rather be alone without friends if that could make them happy…"


"I don't want a pet anymore…"


"Let's go home…"

"I want to reach my hand to the skies and feel free,"

"I wish to climb the mountains to experience the challenge and danger,"

" To share my glory along with my friends,"

"Sometimes I wanted to be alone, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings without problems,"

"Why is it so complicated to achieve?"

This is the story of boy who wanted to be free and participate in extreme activities, but life have other plans for him and decided to change his fate and gave him isolation instead of freedom. Will he get the life he always wanted?

I woke up feeling refreshed as I thought about my bizarre but wonderful dream. I looked over to my closet to pick an outfit appropriate for working in a pet  shop where there is a lot of animal fur. I then suddenly realised that my choice of clothing is very small. There are only 3 long-sleeved and 5 short-sleeved shirts, a pair of jeans, 3 pairs of sweatpants and one sweater. All of these were the cheapest clothes that you can find in a bigger convenience store that we're already very worn out as if someone wore them for a few years. And that's exactly what it was.

I wore these clothes for 3 years since my growth spurt started and at the start they were very big on me, but now they fit perfectly. They were indeed from a convenience store as my aunt was too lazy to go out and and buy clothes for the 'bastard child' that lives in her house.

I quickly put on a gray, short-sleeved shirt and some sweatpants that I use for exercise. I glance at the clock and see that it's only 6AM so I go out for a run right after exiting my room.

After an hour of running and exercising, I go back to take a quick shower, change the clothes to a pair of a black shirt and sweatpants. I style my newly cut hair, looking as handsome as ever and decide to buy a breakfast outside since I only have an hour until the appointed time for me to come to work.

As I walk toward the pet shop, I spot a new breakfast shop in the area and decide to try it out. The shop looks very neat and elegant from the outside and I can see that the prices listed on the window are also very reasonable. The place somehow looks ancient, yet has a bit of a modern feeling too. I immediately took a liking to it as from my experience when I worked as an assistant of a designer, This place is indeed very finely constructed and decorated. 

I walk into the shop, ready to eat a delicious breakfast but I'm stunned straight away when I see someone very familiar in front of me. Before I can voice out his name however, he's already jumping around me.

"Oh my!..."he pauses for a bit, probably trying very hard to remember my name..."Han Xue Wei!"

'Ah.. He remembered pretty quickly. To be honest, this is not surprising since its hard to forget sich a handsome face like mine even after a year' I chuckle in my mind, feeling proud of being so handsome. 

"It's been a long time brother, haha! Did you study well just like I told you to?"

"You look very happy and refreshed right now! Wow, you even gained some weight and became even more handsome!" 

"Right, Did you come to this shop for breakfast?" 

"Let me tell you, this shop is one of the shops my uncle owns and he gifted this one to my cousin to manage! Look isn't it so beautiful and chic?!"

He immediately starts talking about everything that comes to his mind after getting too excited.

I laugh lightly and answer all of his questions one by one. "Hello to you too Tao Rong hahaha. Indeed, it's been around 3 months since we last saw each other. And yes I have been studying very hard these 3 months so I'm very confident in getting into No. 1 High school. I look forward to becoming your schoolmate. Also, I actually came into the store to eat breakfast when I realised that this beautiful place is newly opened. The design of the shop is very well thought and it brings a nice feeling, especially in the morning."

I sit down in a place nearest to the window and continue, "I never would have thought that this place is run by your cousin. This is a very good design for a breakfast shop"

He smiles and looks at me proudly, "Of course! This is my most beloved cousin, how can her shop not be well built! Also, my Tao family is very impressive in the gourmet industry so my cousin must do her best in order to make these old fogies at home proud! If her plans work, she will get more chances to have more shops to manage."

"Hmm, this is indeed good. Please recommend me some breakfast today then as it looks that you're pretty familiar with this place"

"Okay, brother Wei, today this meal is on me. Also maybe we can hang out together this summer holiday, what do you think?"

I don't refuse him when he says he's going to pay for my meal as I need to save up some money and I know that Tao Rong is not the kind of person to cheat me. But I regretfully refuse his kind invitation to play together this summer.

"I'm sorry Tao Rong but I have a part time job at a pet shop and it will be during the whole summer vacation so I'm unfortunately unable to meet up with you" I rub my palms together in front of him as I jokingly beg him for forgiveness as I then add, "But when we start high school, we can hang out together more often. We can also study together if you want!"

His slightly upset mood at the thought that he can't play this summer with a new friend has instantly brightened again when he heard my proposal." Are you sure?! I will definitely remember this proposal and make sure you fulfill it when we meet in high school!"

I immediately assure him that I would never lie to a friend of mine and he calms down a bit, but still seeming very excited.

We talk for another 15 minutes and I finish my breakfast as we decide to meet here and chat with each other for a few minutes when I eat my breakfast in this shop on every other day I work.

After that, I got up and walked out from the small restaurant as I bid my new friend a goodbye.

I walk toward my destinations and arrive at 7:50. Even though I'm 10 minutes earlier, I already see Grandpa Zhang and the weird man whom I now call Uncle Zhang, washing the shelfs and swiping the floor as I walk inside.

"Well, hello young man! I'm glad to see you here so early. Here, come over to Uncle Zhang and he will teach you what we do as a morning cleaning routine."

I do as Granpda Zhang instructs and walk over to talk with Uncle Zhang. As we talk, I realise that he really isn't a bad person. He is just not a someone who enjoys talking with strangers.

Soon Enough, Uncle Zhang showed me everything I need to do and I went straight to work. From cleaning the shelfs, to rearranging the objects on them, to mopping the floor, I did this all and finally after one and a half hours, we all finished hour tasks.

"Xiao Wei, it's already 9:30AM and we open the store at 10AM. Do you now how to operate a cash register?"

I look at Uncle Zhang with bright eyes as it is the first time he called me 'Xiao Wei' since we met and he even said such a lengthy sentence! "I do, I know how to operate it perfectly as I have some experience, don't worry Uncle Zhang!" I say as I remember the times where I had to work in malls or convinience stores as a cashier in my last life. 

"I will then take you to meet all the animals we have here."

I instantly get too excited and so, I try to play cool and calm down but I'm pretty sure that even uncle Zhang realised how happy I am as his lips turned into a smirk for a bit and then went down again...

'Although it wasn't long, it shows that Uncle Zhang has some emotions, and it's just that he hides them too well ah...'

We walk towards the back of the shop and open a very heavy door. I look inside and see cages upon cages filled with animals and then in the back, a big area filled with fake grass and tons of toys and snacks. I can see some dogs and cats playing around.

"This is the playground for the dogs and cats since they have to have a larger room for movement as it is hard to walk all of them out every day since there is simply too many of them to handle together. We prefer to walk them in batches and then we let the rest play on the playground."

He says as we walk further into the room. I look around and see dogs, cats, fish, turtles, hamsters, rabbits, mice and other animals, both big and small.

"Today, since its your first day, i will teach you how to wash and groom these animals. We only wash them once a week in, also in batches since there is too many of them. Today, you only need to wash 3 dogs, 3 cats, 10 hamsters, and 2 rabbits."

I gasp in amazement as I think to myself 'So many animals tow wash today?!'

Uncle Zhang immediately saw through my thoughts as he said grumpliy, "Hmph, Xiao Wei, today is Friday which means that this batch is the last one which is also the smallest one. This is good for you since you will get to practice today and will be ready for the next time."

I swear that my mouth was open so wide that a train can safely pass through it! But then again, this pet shop is rather big so I knew that there will be many new responsibilities coming along when working with so many pets and I am determined to do my best!

"Don't worry Uncle Zhang! Please teach me everything you know, I will do my best." I make a joke and saluted to him like a soldier.

And so, I started bathing and grooming the animals for today under the instructions of Uncle Zhang. He is actually a very good teacher as when I bathed these animals, he taught me about all of them and their species.

I learned what they like, what they hate, if they are friendly with humans or not and I even got to know about their personalities. And to be honest, I loved every second of it as I gained some important knowledge. 

After we bathed all the little cuties and cleaned the bathroom up, Grandpa Zhang came in and looked at me with a gentle and warm smile as he whispered and showed us a box. 

"Xiao Wei, Xiao Lei, look, someone dropped this pitful little guy outside of our store. It's mainly just malnourished but It also only has two fingers on his right pow. It seems like he was born with this deformity" He says as he smiles sadly.

We look into the box and see a puppy. More importantly, this puppy is a rare breed of a Czechoslovakian wolfdog. I know this since I once worked as a cleaner in a house of a rich business man who had a female dog of this breed that just gave birth and their puppies looked exactly like this one in the box.

This puppy however, definitely looks a lot weaker and more malnourished. It breaks my heart to see it like this.

"This dog is indeed very Pitiful. Grandpa Zhang, Can we save him?" I ask and glance at him, my eyes full of desire to save the little guy in front of us right at this moment.

Grandpa Zhang chuckles and replied warmly, "Of course we will save him, however with this obvious deformity, I doubt that any customer will buy this dog, even if he is very cute..."

"Grandpa Zhang, Uncle Zhang, Don't worry, I will take care of this puppy. When I can finally move out of my aunt's house, I will take him with me. I fell in love with this little guy from the moment I saw it. Could you help me keep it here until I have the ability to give it a good home?" I ask and use all the best charms my beautiful face can show as I look at them, very determined to keep this dog with me.

Under my strong and cute gaze, they cannot bear it any longer and agree.

" This... Okay, Xiao Wei, I will entrust him to you in the future. From now on this dog belongs to you"

I smile and jump up to embrace the old man, filled with so much happiness right now that I could probably vomit a rainbow! "Thank you very much Grandpa! I promise I will do my best!"

"Xiao Wei, now that the dog is yours, you have to name it" Says Uncle Zhang.

"Is it a female or male?" 

"Female" 

"Coco.... I will call her Coco. This name is very cute so it will suit a little cookie like her!" I laugh out loud as I reach out to caress the little girl.

Han Xue Wei, should have been like every other main lead in a story.

He should have had high intelligence. 

Breathtaking looks. 

A stunning figure that every other character envies and drolls at. 

A peaceful teenage life with plenty of friends who would go to the end of the world with him. 

A job which every other person wishes to have, with no need for a salary, because OBVIOUSLY as a Male Lead, he has to have his own firm. 

And a loving family that will sacrifice everything for him. 

Yes... He Was supposed to have had this prodigious life. 

However, reality often slaps people in the face, even if it is our lovely male lead, Han Xue Wei.

His life would have been perfect if not for the fact that everything changed after his parents died in a car crash.

His Aunt chose to keep the 'poor orphan' and let him live with her family, but this was a life led on a path more miserable than if he chose to stay in an orphanage.

Even when meeting with death at the age of 28, he still regretted being naive as he blamed himself for not being able to recognise who did things for his good and who wanted to harm him. 

God had a serious talk with the author and said: This novel sucks.
He is the most miserable Male Lead I have ever seen. Help him author-sama, otherwise all you will get are hate comments!

And thus, the author took on a mission to give Han Xue Wei a second chance to get more views!

*While there will be some bxb romance, this is very slow as the ML and the love interest are both straight at the start.
The novel itself will only have chapters that are classified as a pure romance with oy a bit of boy on boy 'action' so it is still a boy's love story so those who do not like it, feel free to stop reading*
