Starting with taking in female college students

Seeing Chen Rang pause for a moment, Li Shiwei added, "Although our police station has also applied for a guide dog for him, there aren't any available slots for the time being. It must be quite boring for him to guard the gate by himself, so getting him a dog for company would be a good idea."

"Guide dogs or assistance dogs?"

Chen Rang understood Li Shiwei's meaning, but after a moment's thought, he couldn't come up with a solution.

After all, this requirement sounds simple, but in reality, guide dogs are a highly specialized breed that is generally inaccessible to the average person.

Even if you manage to get a guide dog puppy with a pedigree, it still needs to undergo a highly professional and patient training process before it can meet the requirements of a qualified guide dog.

Skills like recognizing traffic lights and pedestrian crossings, avoiding crowds and traffic, and self-care are things that ordinary dogs can't learn. Even skills like controlling the leash between a guide dog and its owner, preventing it from getting caught or tangled, are things that many dogs will never learn in their entire lives.

Moreover, Chen Rang is just an ordinary veterinarian, and he has no access to professional dog training institutions or high-quality breeds.

To put it bluntly, the vast majority of cats and dogs he encounters daily have strong Chinese ancestry and are never purebred. Furthermore, the differences in ability between dogs are inherently vast. Even dog lovers cannot refute this point.

Therefore, Li Shiwei's request was not an easy thing for Chen Rang to do.

After thinking about it, all he could say was that he would search as far as possible and do his best to accomplish this. He could only say that even if he couldn't find a suitable assistance dog, he would find a good dog to help Officer Yang pass the time and cheer him up, so that the excellent policeman could be happier on a daily basis.

"Really? Then I'll leave this to you!"

Li Shiwei didn't force him or insist that a guide dog was necessary. She just smiled at Chen Rang, then turned on the TV and let him play some games while she changed her clothes before going out.

"It's just going out for a meal, do I need to change clothes?"

Chen Rang pursed his lips in puzzlement.

However, it's generally best for men not to try and guess what's on a woman's mind. Let her change her clothes; it's still early before lunchtime. Besides, he was genuinely tempted by that game console…

I didn't get to play enough at home yesterday!

Chen Rang happily picked up the game console, trying to find the same Pokémon game as yesterday.

Surprisingly, there are actually similar ones.

When Li Shiwei changed into a youthful and casual dress, and even patiently dressed herself up to look exquisite before coming out, what she saw was Chen Rang staring intently at the television screen.

Men are boys until they die; they will still enjoy playing games even when they are old.

She suddenly understood this point deeply.

But upon closer inspection, what the heck is Pokémon? This big, burly man doesn't play AAA games, but instead plays such a cute and childish game?

Li Shiwei was speechless.

But then again, considering that Chen Rang's work is closely related to animals, it doesn't seem so particularly abrupt.

Without realizing it, the corners of her mouth turned up.

She didn't disturb Chen Rang, but simply leaned against him quietly, arms crossed, watching him play with complete concentration. Even though Chen Rang had completely ignored her at this point, she still showed no sign of dissatisfaction.

Only after Chen Rang had completed the entire dojo challenge and was satisfied with himself, did he realize his mistake and quickly put down the controller. Only then did Li Shiwei come over.

"Really not taking it back?"

"No."

"Let's go then, it's almost time anyway. That restaurant is quite popular, there's always a queue during mealtimes! Let's go a little earlier and eat and chat there."

Li Shiwei made the decision on her own.

She didn't say she would drive the borrowed Volkswagen there. Instead, she took Chen Rang back to the police station to return the car, and then hailed a taxi at the entrance of the police station.

As for why she did this, Chen Rang was a little confused.

But Chen Rang knew one thing: Li Shiwei was a very straightforward girl.

She has no interest in Western food or steak; she prefers to eat large chunks of meat, her mouth greasy from the food. She's also not interested in red wine or coffee; her favorite drink is surprisingly cola, and she's a huge fan of Pepsi.

Therefore, for Li Shiwei, a buffet restaurant is the perfect place to eat.

The affordable prices, unlimited barbecue, all-you-can-drink soda, and lively atmosphere all made her very satisfied.

"You still really like drinking sweet drinks!"

Seeing Li Shiwei hand him a can of Coke, Chen Rang put down the clips with a touch of emotion.

Many times, he really felt that Li Shiwei was a complete mismatch with her name. She liked working out, but also loved drinking coke; she clearly wanted to be a good police officer, yet she craved a comfortable life. This girl was a little too real.

"To be honest, I don't really like it that much."

Li Shiwei squinted and took a sip of cola. The sensation of the bubbles stimulating her throat and stirring up the oil in her mouth was very enjoyable for her.

Seeing Chen Rang looking over, she said with a hint of helplessness, "It's mainly because I've gotten used to it, or rather, I'm addicted, right? My mom says that if I keep drinking this every day, I'll definitely get diabetes. But if I don't drink a little bit every day, I just don't feel comfortable. After all, you know, this stuff played a huge role in helping me get through three years of high school and resist sleepiness. I've been drinking it for more than two years now, and I'd feel a little uneasy if I stopped."

Li Shiwei spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

The atmosphere between the two of them was much better than it had been in the rented apartment. Mainly, being in a place with many people around made the conversation feel more relaxed.

This is why it's best to go to lively places when dating or going on blind dates; a pleasant environment can really reduce psychological pressure for both parties.

"But your eating and drinking habits are probably affecting your fitness results, right?"

As Chen Rang spoke, he flipped the grilled beef roll over.

Just as she was about to enjoy it, Li Shiwei snatched the whole thing away with one chopstick. After quickly dipping it in the sauce, she opened her mouth wide and stuffed the entire chopstickful of meat into her mouth.

This guy responded to Chen Rang's inquiry with his actions.

"hehe……"

Chen Rang couldn't help but laugh.

He quite liked Li Shiwei's generosity and approachability. Although they weren't in a romantic relationship, even as friends, a generous girl always made a man feel relaxed, without having to worry about whether her words had hidden meanings.

The two of them enjoyed the meal quite easily and pleasantly.

They sat in the buffet restaurant for almost two hours, reminiscing about almost all their student days, before deciding to go their separate ways. Li Shiwei had to go to work in the afternoon, and Chen Rang was still thinking about his cats at home.

Goodbye!

Li Shiwei gracefully got into the taxi and waved goodbye with a carefree air.

"Wait a moment!"

Chen Rang suddenly spoke up for no apparent reason, not even knowing why he had said those words.

Seeing Li Shiwei's somewhat surprised expression and her staring at him with her beautiful eyes, Chen Rang felt a pang of panic. He didn't dare utter the words he truly wanted to say, and quickly racked his brains, trying to find a plausible reason to call her back.

"By the way, would you like to get a cat?"

"What?"

Li Shiwei was stunned for a moment.

"I mean, would you be interested in getting a cat? After all... you live alone, right? And the house is so big, it's inevitable to feel empty and lonely! Getting a cat would be much better in that situation, since it can keep you company when you need it!"

Chen Rang spoke more and more fluently, and the more he spoke, the more reasonable this excuse seemed.

Another point is that he has never forgotten the trouble caused by the six cats at his clinic. There's absolutely no way he'd keep so many cats! Raising DouDou is troublesome enough; why would he want to make things worse for himself?

So whenever he had the chance, he would do everything he could to get rid of those six cats.

He worried that strangers might mistreat the cats. Only by giving them to someone he knew and trusted, like Li Shiwei, could Chen Rang feel at ease about the cats' future.

"You have a cat?"

After listening to Chen Rang's words, Li Shiwei's eyes flickered, as if she had truly become interested.

But soon, she shook her head and said, "I don't even have time to take care of my own daily life, where would I find the energy to raise a cat? You have no idea how busy our police station is! If I were to keep a cat at home, it might starve to death."

"Is that so..."

Chen Rang had a toothache, and he couldn't bear to hear the word "starve to death" right now.

Besides, Li Shiwei had already said that, so there was no point in continuing to force it. Although he didn't understand why neither she nor Ni Youlin would refuse to ease his burden, he could only give up the idea now that things had come to this.

He said goodbye to Li Shiwei again and quietly watched the taxi disappear around the corner.

Once he was all alone, he gave a somewhat helpless smile and slowly strolled toward the clinic.
