"Youngest."
Zhuge Yun spoke with a laugh in his voice.
"You're better than Eldest Brother."
"You knew this fact long before Eldest Brother did."
Zhuge Yun praised him with a straight face.
It would have been even better if the corners of his mouth weren't turned up so high.
Zhang Bo: ...
"...I don't usually pay much attention to dogs."
Zhang Bo offered a defense.
"I only found out by chance."
Zhao Luzheng said with a smile.
He'd been surprised when he first learned about it, too.
"Can other dogs get their tails trimmed into hearts, too?"
Zhang Bo asked curiously.
"They... probably can, right?"
Zhao Luzheng wasn't entirely sure.
In theory, it should be possible.
But...
"Then why haven't I seen any other dogs with heart-shaped tails?"
Zhang Bo wondered.
That was what Zhao Luzheng couldn't figure out, either.
"Uh..."
"Maybe corgis' tails are best suited for being trimmed into hearts?"
"Pfft~"
Zhuge Yun laughed. "There's a best-suited breed for that, too?"
"I'll look it up."
Driven by his curiosity, Zhao Luzheng opened a search engine.
Yesterday, the rain had poured down in torrents. Today, the sun was shining brightly.
The scorching pavement showed no sign of yesterday's puddles.
A man in a suit hurried down the road.
Sweat poured off him.
His face was flushed.
"Careful."
Xiao Xiao reached out and caught the man in the suit just as he was about to fall.
The man in the suit tried to steady himself, but found that he was weak all over.
His head was spinning, and his vision blurred.
He couldn't muster a bit of strength.
Xiao Xiao helped the man in the suit over to a nearby tree and sat him down beneath it.
