When Xiao Zhuang said this, not only the girl and Zhang Zian were shocked, but even his girlfriend, Ting Ting, was shocked.
"Xiao Zhuang, when did you adopt a pet? Why didn't you tell me? "Ting Ting asked unkindly.
She knew that her boyfriend's attitude towards pets was more of a passerby. He didn't really like them, but he didn't really hate them either. With the sensitivity of a girl, she immediately wondered if Xiao Zhuang had adopted a pet for his ex-girlfriend before. If Xiao Zhuang was willing to adopt a pet for his ex-girlfriend, but not for her, then she would have to reconsider their relationship.
Xiao Zhuang complained and quickly explained, "I mean, I've tried, but I've never really adopted a pet before."
Actually, Ting Ting hadn't suddenly thought of adopting a pet. In her daily life, perhaps influenced by the public opinion on Weibo, she would occasionally express her support for pet adoption. She would point at pictures on Weibo for Xiao Zhuang to see, saying things like "Look at this dog/cat, it looks so pitiful."
Even though Ting Ting had only said it casually, Xiao Zhuang secretly remembered it in his heart.
After New Year's Day, it was almost Valentine's Day in the West. Xiao Zhuang had been worrying about what kind of Valentine's Day gift to give Ting Ting Ting. Red packets were too tacky. Clothes or bags were too expensive. He knew that Ting Ting might not like the clothes he chose. As for other gifts, he wasn't sure what Ting Ting liked.
After thinking about it, he decided to give Ting Ting Ting a pet. Of course, it would be an adopted pet. Not only would it save money, but it would also show his love in front of Ting Ting. Why not?
In order to give Tingting a surprise, he used working overtime as an excuse to secretly make a trip behind Tingting's back. He wanted to help her adopt a pet that she liked and put it in a cardboard box on Valentine's Day and give it to her.
Before he went there, he thought that adopting a pet was a very simple matter. Since it was a pet that was in a hurry to be rescued, according to normal logic, as long as he went to the door, the other party should be very happy to hand over the pet to him, right?
He had only heard Tingting mention adopting a pet a few times, but he actually didn't know where to adopt a pet. Therefore, he tried searching on Weibo and found a few places in the city that claimed they could adopt pets for free. The reason why he collected a few addresses was that he wanted to choose a beautiful pet for Tingting. After all, Tingting was very picky.
Just like that, Xiao Zhuang confidently arrived at the first pet adoption agency, temporarily called Home A.
In fact, when he looked back after the incident, Home A was actually the most normal one. At first, their attitude was quite polite. They enthusiastically introduced Xiao Zhuang to the dozen or so pets that were waiting to be adopted, including cats and dogs.
At this point, Xiao Zhuang complained, "I really don't know anything about pets. I've never had one before, so I don't know much about them. After listening to the person's introduction, I wanted to adopt a pet for Ting Ting, but I didn't want to adopt one that was too fierce or bad-tempered. I was afraid that if it scratched or bit Ting Ting Ting, I would regret it to death. So I casually asked the person to tell me what breed and what their personality was. I didn't think that my question would somehow touch the person's sore spot. He changed his attitude faster than flipping a page of a book. He pointed at my nose and called me a fake pet lover, telling me to get as far away from him as possible."
The unfamiliar girl fiercely interrupted, "You shouldn't have asked about the breed in the first place! Do you know that this will encourage the unhealthy behavior of the pet black-hearted industry? All pets are equal. They are all little angels waiting for you to save them. "
"The pet black-hearted industry has nothing to do with me!" Xiao Zhuang rolled his eyes and retorted, "If it wasn't for the fact that Ting Ting wanted to adopt a pet, I wouldn't even go for a hundred dollars!"
"You …" The unfamiliar girl was so angry that her eyes widened.
From the first customer, Zhao Qi, until now, Zhang Zian had been asked this question by countless customers, and he had patiently answered it countless times. It was normal for customers to care about this question when they came to choose a pet they liked. It wasn't a case of breed discrimination. In fact, on the whole, dogs aside, purebred cats were more affectionate and friendly than mixed-breed cats. This was the customer's right to know. Refusing to say anything would only prove that they were guilty.
The customer was God. The customer's right to know had to be protected. This was a matter of integrity. No matter how jovial Zhang Zian usually was, he wouldn't play dumb on this issue.
But in a pet adoption agency, he couldn't ask this question, or else his favorability would drop to a freezing point. After all, most of the pets in the agency were wild cats and dogs. There was no breed to speak of, and it was taboo to be asked about breed. Even if you were cursing someone, you couldn't expose them.
After so many days, Xiao Zhuang was still full of anger when he mentioned this. He said bitterly, "I've lived for so long, and this is the first time I've met such an idiot! At that time, I was also scared and ran away with my tail between my legs. Now that I think about it, I feel so wronged. I should have beaten him up before leaving! "
After hearing this, Ting Ting's suspicion of Xiao Zhuang turned into gratitude. She held the back of his hand tightly, as if she was the one who had been humiliated. "Xiao Zhuang, thank you. You've done so much for me. I was wrong about you just now."
Xiao Zhuang held her hand back. "Ting Ting …"
"If there's an A, there should be a B, right? How about you guys show off your love after I finish? "Zhang Zian refused to show off.
Other than the unfamiliar girl, everyone laughed mischievously.
Xiao Zhuang awkwardly woke up from his dream and scratched his head. Ting Ting shyly pulled her hand back.
"Ahem!" Xiao Zhuang cleared his throat and continued, "After leaving house A, I wanted to go home, but I thought that since I lied to Ting Ting that I was working overtime, I might as well take the opportunity to visit a few more houses. After all, I've already seen that kind of weirdo. No matter how weirdo the others are, they shouldn't be better than that person, right? But then I realized that I was wrong. "
Xiao Zhuang arrived at B's house. Just in case, he asked the same question as soon as he entered the door. He wanted to know what breed's personality was like. He planned to take the opportunity to vent the anger he had accumulated in A's house if the other party started scolding him again.
The person in charge of house B wasn't angry. He patiently and passionately answered his questions. Xiao Zhuang didn't know anything about pets. He wasn't sure if what the person said was true or not, but it sounded very professional.
With the help of the person in charge of house B, Xiao Zhuang quickly chose a cat. It was said to be an impure American Shorthair. The person in charge of House B said in a pained tone. This cat used to be a stray cat and had been living a miserable life until it was taken in by an adoption agency. Now, it desperately wanted to find a new owner who loved it.
Then came the most disgusting thing.
