Want a Dog?

(Sun Yao)

The four-hour training session has ended.

I'm completely exhausted.

I don't even want to move a finger.

I lay there on my back on the dance studio floor, my white off-the-shoulder top now transparent, a layer of sweat soaking through my skin. I could even feel the sweat dripping down my skin from my waist, and it was a little itchy.

However, it seems like Yezi is secretly glancing at something?

Although I saw him playing with the dog every time I looked up, I could definitely feel his gaze.

Hehe, even though you act like you don't care, you probably still do care, right?

After all, it's puberty, so it's not hard to understand why they might be interested in my body.

But...

I'm still a little annoyed that they were spying on me for this reason.

"That concludes today's training. It's about time to head back for dinner."

Although she danced with me, Miss Sirius didn't break a sweat at all. She fiddled with her elegant blonde hair and said, "Ceruno- chan, if there are no other arrangements, come here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to continue training and stretching."

"...Eh."

I dragged out my dissatisfaction.

With today's training intensity, it's uncertain whether he'll even be able to get up tomorrow!

"No objections allowed, unless you and Miluno can team up to subdue me. If you can't, then you'd better attend class obediently! And also, keep smiling!"

They're exhausted but still keep smiling. Even a capitalist's sweatshop doesn't have such outrageous rules!

"But the courses you've arranged won't make me stronger overnight, will they? Practicing so hard every day, won't my chances of winning be even lower?"

Even if I could keep up with her dance moves, my eyes couldn't keep up with Miss Miluno's speed. It was supposed to be two against one, but it was very difficult for Miss Miluno and I to coordinate, so the odds of winning were just too low.

"How to defeat me is the question you need to consider."

Miss Sirius didn't mind that I was covered in sore sweat, and even took the initiative to support my arm and help me up from the ground.

How could I not be excited to have the world's number one idol right next to me? It felt like my muscles had gained a bit more strength.

"Yezi, lend a hand to the nest."

Her other hand rested on Yezi's shoulder.

He hesitated for a moment, but still offered his hand and supported my wet back.

At this point, you stopped resisting contacting me?

"Let's go back to the mansion and I'll take you to see Miss Miluno!"

Viewpoint switching warning

(Bai Ziye)

How could you possibly see it!

Even though he was screaming inside, he maintained a calm expression on his face.

"Well, Miss Miluno looks quite badly injured. I think it's best not to disturb her today."

Although I refused, continuing to refuse isn't a solution.

I must create a situation where it's impossible for me and "Miluno" to appear together.

"Miss Miluno recovered very quickly, she should be fine by now... Hmm?"

Ceruno released me halfway through her sentence and pulled out her ringing cell phone.

It's a short message.

Her light-colored eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"... Because Yezi wasn't included, Sister Xiao Wei took Miss Miluno to Oahu. She also asked me to tell Miss Sirius... that they don't need to prepare dinner for them."

I clenched my fist without batting an eye and shouted "Yay!" in my heart.

"It's too late to say now, Melissa has definitely already made arrangements."

Sirius gave me a meaningful look and asked, "So, they're planning to spend the night on Oahu?"

"They didn't mention that; they said they'd be back later after playing."

"But it can't be too late, or we won't be able to rent the yacht back."

Hey, it's even better if they don't come back.

With such intense exercise today, Ceruno would definitely pass out the moment her head hits the pillow. So, we can say that her first day in Hawaii has passed safely.

Yin Wei was a great help; it's good to have such a capable liaison. It's a pity she's a member of the Association, so I can't completely let my guard down around her.

As I was feeling sentimental, something tugged at my trouser leg from behind.

Turning around, I saw the beautiful golden retriever that had initially given me a headbutt and then played with me for four hours; it actually chased me out of the shed.

Is it because you can't bear to part with it?

"To be honest, I don't even know its name."

"A name? It doesn't have a name yet."

"Huh? Miss Sirius doesn't name her dog?"

Sirius helped the golden retriever stand up by supporting its front legs. The retriever was quite large, not much shorter than Sirius himself, and looked to be about 1.3 meters tall.

"Boyfriend, you might have misunderstood something. These kids aren't my pets. This is 'Canis Major', a legitimate commercial kennel! Except for a few exceptions, most of these kids are going to leave Nabu Island."

"Oh? So it's for sale!"

"After all, I need to make money, otherwise where will the money for the Association's operation come from?"

These dogs are all products of Sirius. The island pasture kennel, which originally had a dreamy atmosphere, has become more realistic.

"They're so big now, they still won't sell, right?"

I know that you need to build a bond with a dog from a young age.

"Hey, are you underestimating my sales ability? They've all been trained to be very obedient. As long as I find them good homes, they'll definitely be the best and most obedient pets... I think this kid is very attached to you. Boyfriend, have you ever thought about getting a dog?"

Huh? They're trying to sell me something?!

My apartment does allow dogs, and my parents probably won't object, since they don't have much time to spend with me, and having a dog to relieve their loneliness is perfectly reasonable.

But before that...

"Excuse me, how much does your dog cost?"

"That's only four hundred thousand US dollars."

"So expensive! Even if you sold myself, I still couldn't afford it!"

This dog is worth as much as an apartment in the city.

Luckily, I was careful.

As expected of a product from the world's number one idol, the premium is indeed outrageously high.

"This child likes you so much, it wouldn't hurt to give him to you, would it?"

Are you going to give me an apartment in the city?

I looked at Ceruno and asked, "Idiot, do you want to have a dog?"

Since we're currently living together, I need to ask for her opinion.

She also squatted down to examine the golden retriever, then gave a silly, goofy smile.

"Hehe, this Doggy is really pretty. Yezi, why don't we take it if it's free?"

Sure enough, Ceruno couldn't resist the allure of fur...

But getting a dog isn't a decision you make on a whim; there are many things to consider.

There's no financial problem, but I need to set aside time to spend with it regularly. It's okay now that it's summer vacation, but later...

I shook my head and looked at Sirius.

"We'd better not keep it. We still need to go to school, and there's no one home to take care of it. It's really not suitable for us to adopt it."

Ceruno can't stay Ceruno forever; she'll eventually turn back into A-Yao. When that happens, we'll definitely have to go to class, and maybe even go to university in a place even further away.

We won't have time to take care of energetic large dogs then.

Besides, I don't believe that a free golden retriever will fall from the sky.

Sirius, however, squinted and smiled, "My boyfriend really thinks a lot!"

I'm too lazy to even argue with how she addresses me.

He simply replied, "After all, it's a life; we must treat it with caution and not overthink it."

"Then let me put it another way: let this child be 'fostered' with you, and sent back when you no longer want to take care of him, how about that?"

"Oh? Is that okay?"

"Of course, I'm also very humane!"

"It's like renting Doggy, then there are no worries."

The golden retriever's ears have incredibly smooth fur that feels wonderful to the touch. I reached out and pinched it, and it didn't seem to mind or resist at all.

Ceruno also said, "After that, will you come home with us?"

"Woof!"

The golden retriever seemed to understand and started barking along with Ceruno.

"Hey, Yezi, shall we give it a name?"

I hope you, dear readers, will leave your comments and feedback in the main text! It's a great encouragement to me, even if it costs nothing!!
