Chapter 264: It Is All Skin And Bones Now
“...”
“Is it willing to eat now?” asked Ye Erruo curiously.
Awooo... A weak howl could be heard from the other end of the line.
“You still don’t want to eat anything? Eh? Do you want the phone?” Yao Tiao handed the phone to Red Bean despite feeling her jaw go slack.
Awooo... The poor little mutt lay across the phone and began howling pitifully.
Ye Erruo was speechless.
She truly found this dog’s howling increasingly familiar the more she heard it.
“Did you want the phone? Why would a dog want a phone?” Her friend, on the other hand, was feeling utterly perplexed and troubled.
“I’ll send you the number once I find it.”
“Yeah. No problem.”
After ending the call, she began looking through her call log.
“What are you looking for?”
“Oh, dear. I think I lost it—huh? I think it’s this number,” she mumbled to herself.
“What did you lose and what about that number?”
“It’s nothing.” The woman forwarded Bo Jinyan’s number to Yao Tiao using WeChat.
Yao Tiao immediately tried phoning the man when she received the number from her friend. Alas, the calls were not connected, so she could only send him a text instead.
All she got back, however, was a four-word reply: It likes pretty women.
She was at the end of her wits. Thus, she could only contact her friend again for help.
The next day, Ye Erruo and Mo Jiangye took an overnight return flight. At touchdown, she headed straight to the bar.
“Hurry!” Yao Tiao pulled her straight to the back of the bar when she spotted her.
Bam! went the door when it was kicked open. Red Bean, however, seemed to hear nothing.
“Aby, look! Here’s a pretty lady for you.”
Ye Erruo was speechless by her friend’s remark.
“Red Bean?”
The dog lifted its head at once, its eyes tearing up when it saw the person it had been looking for. It could not appear any more aggrieved at this moment.
“What? Do you know this dog?” asked Yao Tiao in surprise.
Red Bean was currently so starved that even getting to its feet was an arduous feat.
“How did it lose so much weight?”
It had originally been a cute, chubby dog. Now, it was so skinny that its eyes seemed to have sunk in.
Ye Erruo hastily picked it up. Red Bean, who had been quite heavy, was really light now. If it was not for its long fur, one would probably have been able to see how thin it really was.
“What the hell! What a lecherous mutt! It really only likes pretty women.”
Despite feeling disgruntled with the dog, Yao Tiao hurriedly brought the bowl of dog food over. “Quick, make it eat.”
The little fellow attacked the food eagerly as soon as it was placed near its mouth.
Going on a hunger strike really works. I finally got to see my mommy. ╤_╤
“How long has it not eaten for?”
“It has not eaten since I picked it up from its owner.”
“Why did you wait so long before seeking help then?”
“Well, I thought it was throwing a tantrum my way.”
“...”
A few minutes later, the large bowl of kibble was completely gobbled up. Red Bean even went on lapping up a huge bowl of milk.
“That’s enough. We shouldn’t feed it too much food,” said Ye Erruo.
“I’m not bad-looking myself...” Her friend’s ego was badly bruised.
The aggrieved dog snuggled deeper into her embrace as she stroked its fur.
“Do you know this dog?”
She lifted a brow. “Yes.”
She had never expected that Bo Jinyan’s pet would be Red Bean.
Yao Tiao was hit by a sudden yet belated realization. She smacked herself on the forehead as she said, “No wonder it likes your jacket so much and was always howling whenever I talked to you on the phone. What a smart dog it is!”
“It’s just a normal dog.” Ye Erruo laughed.
The fact, however, was that the obedient dog could indeed understand human language and, most importantly, it was very fond of the woman.
“Nope, it isn’t just an extraordinary dog. It’s also a lecherous dog.”
