Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years
Chapter 532 Dragging into the Woods
"cough!
"Red Bean, I didn't touch you on purpose. ♙♕ 😲✌"
"I know."
Xu Hongdou said helplessly, "I'll apologize to you. I'll go with you to the cattery later and buy two kittens as an apology."
Li Haoyu quickly explained the compensation measures.
I know... so why don't you let go!
Xu Hongdou's pretty face flushed red.
Li Haoyu scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, then quickly withdrew his hand.
This time he really didn't do it on purpose.
"A pet store?"
Xu Hongdou couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.
That really touched her heart.
She has always loved animals, but she used to rent an apartment in the capital. Plus, her work hours were irregular, and she could barely take care of herself, let alone keep cats and dogs.
"Yes, there's a pet market nearby. We can go check it out now." Seeing that Xu Hongdou was clearly interested, Li Haoyu quickly added fuel to the fire.
"We'd better hurry up and leave, or the pet shop will close soon."
"Shall we go take a look now?"
Xu Hongdou said hesitantly.
Li Haoyu grabbed Xu Hongdou's hand and pulled her outside before she could say anything. "Don't rush me, I haven't packed yet," Xu Hongdou said helplessly.
"Why bother getting ready? You're already beautiful enough, don't waste your time."
Li Haoyu immediately pulled Xu Hongdou into the car.
…………
While in the car, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but complain a few times.
Before long, Xu Hongdou's attention was drawn to the kittens and puppies at the pet market.
She couldn't resist teasing the cats and dogs.
The pet selection here is quite comprehensive, including some purebreds that are even capable of competing. In fact, if you have the money, you can buy any level of pet here.
Now Xu Hongdou's ambitions were growing; she wasn't even satisfied with just buying one cat. She even had the idea of buying a husky.
Xu Hongdou immediately took a liking to a purebred husky.
Unlike most huskies which are black and white, this one is pure white.
It looks like it's wearing small glasses, some of them have "three flames" (a symbol of fierceness), and their limbs are white with pointed tails, making them look like wolves, with a roguish and handsome appearance.
More importantly, this husky has blue eyes, making it undeniably adorable. Even Li Haoyu, let alone Xu Hongdou, found it incredibly cute.
However, Li Haoyu remembered the nickname of the husky, a dog known for destroying homes.
He was a little worried.
Li Haoyu originally wanted to gently persuade Xu Hongdou, but Xu Hongdou had already lifted the dog high and was holding it in her arms. The husky kept burrowing into Xu Hongdou's arms.
He's a complete pervert... a real lecher!
This made Li Haoyu even a little envious, jealous, and resentful.
He didn't bring it up, and judging from the interaction between Xu Hongdou and Erha, the outcome was already decided.
When it comes to dogs, the most important things are their appearance and pedigree.
Xu Hongdou saw that these were all top-of-the-line items, so the prices were naturally high. However, since Xu Hongdou liked them, Li Haoyu didn't say anything unnecessary and simply took out his phone to pay.
He also bought a dog crate and several bags of premium dog food.
Li Haoyu saw that Xu Hongdou was having so much fun playing with the husky.
He couldn't help but pat Xu Hongdou on the shoulder and said, "It's getting late, let's go see the pet cat. You can play with it to your heart's content when we get back."
Li Haoyu and Xu Hongdou had actually discussed it on the way.
They originally wanted to buy a purebred pet cat.
For example, Ragdoll cats or the legendary hairless cats.
But as soon as Li Haoyu and Xu Hongdou stepped into the pet store, before they even had a chance to look at the different breeds of kittens, they were immediately drawn to the mixed-breed cat at the entrance!
To be honest, it's not just Xu Hongdou.
Even Li Haoyu was shocked.
That stray cat by the door is so arrogant, it lives like a lady of high society.
As soon as the stray cat saw Li Haoyu and Xu Hongdou enter the store, it started meowing incessantly, desperately wanting to be noticed.
But when they turned to look at it, the guy had a disdainful look on his face and was lying down like a concubine, scratching his belly with his hand.
That alluring and seductive posture is just too funny.
Although it was just an ordinary stray cat, it instantly attracted all of Xu Hongdou's attention.
Xu Hongdou was completely captivated; she was practically glued to the cat, unable to move. She kept teasing it, trying to elicit a greater response. Seeing this, Li Haoyu wisely paid the bill.
The cat itself isn't very expensive, but the matching cat litter and catnip kit is much more expensive than the cat itself.
So, if you add it all up, the cat, the dog, and all that other stuff would cost tens of thousands of dollars.
This is naturally insignificant to Li Haoyu now.
In fact, Li Haoyu had thought about getting a pet before, but he never had the opportunity to do so in the main world.
In fact, raising a pet requires a lot of investment.
Li Haoyu has always loved small animals, but when he was working at Zhonggong Education, the work pace was fast and he didn't have time to take care of his pets.
Especially when your daily work hours plus commuting time exceed 12 hours or even 14 or 15 hours, pets become a nightmare.
I had no time to take it for a walk, and I was too tired to take care of it.
I was exhausted!
Even so, he almost made an impulsive purchase several times.
But if he were to actually keep it, he would have to keep the dog locked up all day. Li Haoyu felt that would only satisfy his own liking for it, but not its active and playful nature.
But if you don't lock them up, when you come home, it's a scene of utter devastation...
That was something Li Haoyu couldn't accept.
The joy of first meeting is not as good as the enduring comfort of long-term companionship.
At that time, Li Haoyu didn't have the time or energy to train pets, so after much deliberation, he finally gave up.
Actually, Li Haoyu never expected that a post he saw online, "Why do young people nowadays prefer to keep pets rather than have children?" could explain this problem.
That post showed off how to raise a pet that keeps going.
Among all the things that require the most effort to raise, raising a cat or dog is second only to raising a baby or having a mistress, and the most cost-effective option is always the cats and dogs that your friends keep.
Li Haoyu couldn't resist stroking it a couple of times.
He said to Xu Hongdou, "The husky is male, and the cat is female, so you now have both a son and a daughter. You can name them now."
Xu Hongdou tilted her head, looking a little embarrassed.
"Then give me some advice, I'll take a look. This is their name, the one they'll spend their whole lives with."
Li Haoyu said directly, "That's easy. Number Two is so fat and so big, how about we name him Big White? And the cat can be called Little White. Isn't that simple and easy to remember?"
Xu Hongdou was speechless for a moment.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Haoyu.
This name is really perfunctory.
Xu Hongdou slapped Li Haoyu on the shoulder in an annoyed tone.
Then she lifted the husky high up, facing the sun in the sky.
When it was a puppy, the husky obviously hadn't awakened its bloodline power yet, and it could only be controlled by Xu Hongdou.
However, it seemed to be a little afraid of heights, and its body unconsciously curled up into a ball.
Xu Hongdou seemed to have a flash of inspiration.
She said to Li Haoyu excitedly, "How about we call it Snowball? What do you think?"
Li Haoyu thought to himself, "Is Snowball really that much better than Big White?"
However, he saw that Xu Hongdou was so happy.
Li Haoyu didn't want to spoil the fun.
He hurriedly said, "This name is great! It's truly a brilliant idea, much more vivid and descriptive than my Baymax."
Li Haoyu even began to analyze it in a serious manner.
"Snowball is more meaningful and sounds better than Big White. It highlights the pet's fur color, and the word 'ball' also reflects its round shape, which can also show the owner's love for the pet."
Li Haoyu, resting his chin on his hand, said, "It's really brilliant the more I think about it; it's a really good name."
"Really?"
"I thought you didn't like it?"
Xu Hongdou clearly took Li Haoyu's words to heart.
The name she chose was well-received, which made her very happy.
Xu Hongdou lifted the snowball high into the air again and said excitedly, "Snowball, do you like this name too?"
As a result, the head of the snowball in the air seemed to be moving and appeared to approve of it.
Xu Hongdou was even happier now.
She happily spun around several times while holding the puppy.
Li Haoyu then clapped in agreement.
However, Xu Hongdou kept spinning around for a long time without stopping.
Li Haoyu couldn't help but feel sorry for the snowball in Xu Hongdou's arms.
Anyone who is still a toddler would be suddenly lifted into the air.
Just watch how panicked it gets, and that's it.
Snowball bore a burden far beyond its years. Luckily, Xu Hongdou thought it wouldn't last long, otherwise Snowball might have really wet itself in fear.
That would be a real disaster.
Li Haoyu decided to speak up and try to salvage the situation.
"Alright, let go of Snowball now. Snowball's name is settled, but shouldn't you pay attention to your daughter? She's still eagerly waiting for you to name her."
Xu Hongdou glanced at the cat.
It maintained its aloof demeanor, its sarcastic tone practically off the charts.
Xu Hongdou scratched her head, racking her brains to think of a few names. But before she could even utter a name, she immediately rejected it.
She felt those names were either too tacky or too common.
Xu Hongdou glanced at Li Haoyu, who seemed completely unperturbed.
She was a little angry.
"I've already chosen names for the dogs, and you're their owner too. So, you'll be in charge of naming the cats. This time, don't give me something like 'Little White,' that's just a perfunctory name."
As Xu Hongdou spoke, she gently tapped Li Haoyu's forehead with her finger.
"You better get serious!"
Li Haoyu received a warning from Xu Hongdou.
He could only take the name a little more seriously.
Before long, Li Haoyu had an inspiration.
"How about we call it Stinky Cat? Isn't that a name that combines cuteness and silliness? It's always so grumpy, don't you think?"
Xu Hongdou couldn't stand it anymore and directly complained.
"Why do you, a grown man, use reduplicated words so much? It's really disgusting. I'd be embarrassed to call its name if we were out having a stroll."
This moment touched upon a blind spot in Li Haoyu's knowledge.
He couldn't help but say, "I know dogs need to slither, but do cats need to slither too?"
Xu Hongdou nodded firmly, "Absolutely. Besides not showing favoritism, the cat definitely needs to be let loose a bit."
"Although cats don't need to go out as often, it's still good for their health to go out for some exercise and sunbathing occasionally. In addition, cats often lick their fur, so eating some grass outside can help digest hairballs."
Li Haoyu couldn't help but lean close to Xu Hongdou's face, "I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable."
Xu Hongdou pushed Li Haoyu away with disdain. "It's all from Baidu. Instead of praising me, why don't you hurry up and come up with a suitable name for it?"
Now, Li Haoyu was really in a dilemma.
He hadn't expected that someone who was successful in everything else would run into trouble over something so trivial. What should he name it?
Li Haoyu couldn't help but press the cat's belly.
As a result, it completely disregarded Li Haoyu and carried him on its back.
It only blocked Li Haoyu with its own rear end.
This rude gesture not only made Li Haoyu lose face, but Xu Hongdou, who was standing nearby, even burst out laughing.
Undeterred, Li Haoyu tried to salvage his reputation by forcibly turning the cat over.
As a result, it still wasn't very cooperative and lazily rolled over again.
Li Haoyu was truly at a loss.
Just as he was about to pet it to vent his anger, the cat suddenly became arrogant and started baring its teeth and claws at Li Haoyu again.
He had a good attitude and wasn't arrogant.
This gave Li Haoyu a sudden inspiration.
He said to Xu Hongdou, "How about we call it Big Pig's Trotter?"
Xu Hongdou initially wanted to laugh, but then she took a closer look at the cat. Seeing its ever-present air of superiority, as if it considered mortals unworthy of its attention, she realized it was quite arrogant.
I must say, the name Li Haoyu chose has a good atmosphere; it's not only cute but also quite funny.
Xu Hongdou nodded and said, "This name is actually quite good, isn't it 'Big Pig Trotter'?"
When she said that.
The cat seemed to hear this and stirred.
And so, the names of the two pets were decided.
By the time the two finished, it was already quite late.
Simply settle the cat and the husky into the house.
Li Haoyu took Xu Hongdou to a nearby Yunnan hot pot restaurant, and it turned out to be quite delicious. Especially the Jun Gu hot pot; the fresh ingredients alone made it impossible for it to be bad.
The two held hands and casually strolled around, enjoying the snowball and the big pig's trotter.
This somewhat peculiar duo attracted the attention of many passersby along the way. After all, the white husky was quite eye-catching, not to mention the proud cat beside it.
Even the owners of this cat and dog are incredibly good-looking.
This combination is absolutely a winning combination.
This pleasant feeling is truly wonderful.
Xu Hongdou also hummed a little love song, which was rare for her.
"On a beautiful afternoon."
You and I are walking on the street with our dog.
The chocolate in my pocket is about to melt.
I still don't have the courage to put it in your hands.
This is the feeling I like.
I must say, the lyrics are quite fitting for the occasion.
Li Haoyu listened silently.
He almost couldn't resist and dragged Xu Hongdou into the grove.
