God's Gift

Lu Keming stood by the door, lowered his eyes to look at the puppy that was not even as tall as his knees, and the corners of his mouth curved up.

"Youyou, wake up, come and eat!" Grandma Li glanced out from the kitchen and saw the puppy dragging a small blanket, so she greeted him.

When Yu Youyou heard this, she was so anxious that she turned her feet in the direction without even putting the blanket in place.

Lu Keming then took action. He bent down, picked up the blanket on the ground, and put it in Yu Youyou's little nest.

"Thank you!" When Yu Youyou saw Lu Keming put the blanket away for her, she thanked him hurriedly and ran towards the dining table.

Lu Keming followed Yu Youyou slowly. When she ran under the dining table and couldn't sit down, he picked her up and put her on a stool, and then sat next to her naturally.

The morning meal was light. Grandma Li cooked a pot of vegetable porridge and steamed a basket of steamed buns. She also cooked a pot of pork ribs specially for Yu Youyou.

Everyone was seated, and Granny Li was tearing meat for Yu Youyou while muttering to herself.

"When the weather gets cold, don't follow your neighbor Da Huang and run all over the mountains and fields. You have weak legs. Last time, you fell into Li Er's manure pit and ran back smelling stinky. I, an old woman, had to wash you."

Granny Li didn't care about Youyou's face at all. She tore the meat and revealed all her bad deeds.

"My hands still stink for days after I washed them. Now it's cold. If you fall into that pond again and get sick, you'll die..."

But Yu Youyou didn't realize anything yet. She didn't feel at all that it was embarrassing for a human to fall into a cesspool. Her eyes were fixed on Granny Li's hand, and she was only concerned about the two taels of meat.

"Hahaha!" Fang Ziang had just put a mouthful of steamed bun when he heard Granny Li say that Yu Youyou fell into the manure pit. He immediately laughed and sprayed a grain of rice in front of Anthony.

When Yu Youyou heard Fang Ziang's laughter, her ears perked up, she stood up on her legs, and looked at Fang Ziang in confusion with her head tilted.

What laughing?

Anthony looked at the rice grains in front of him and immediately punched Fang Ziang.

"Uh..." Fang Ziang immediately stopped laughing, "It's okay."

Shen Minghua and Ye Li were not much better either, they just restrained their laughter. Ye Li secretly gave Yu Youyou a thumbs up.

Yu Youyou turned her head and looked around the table, and found that everyone was looking at her and laughing. She tilted her head and saw Lu Keming with his hands on the table, looking at her with a little smile in his eyes.

Although she didn't know the reason, Yu Youyou felt a little embarrassed after realizing it.

She stretched out her claws and scratched her face twice, then stretched out her claws to grab Grandma Li's sleeve, staring at Grandma Li with her dark eyes, trying to make her stop talking.

"Does a little dog still need to save face?" Grandma Li looked at Yu Youyou's reaction and smiled even more.

Yu Youyou retracted her claws and stomped on the bench angrily, thinking to herself, why doesn’t the puppy have any face? Even a puppy needs face too!

"Grandma, let me help you tear it." Lu Keming interrupted Grandma Li, took Yu Youyou's rice bowl from her, and took over Grandma Li's work in an orderly manner.

He put the shredded meat strips into the small bowl in front of Yu Youyou. Yu Youyou looked at the meat in the bowl and put what had just happened behind her.

Granny Li looked at Lu Keming's actions and asked with a smile, "I see you like my Youyou too, right?"

The air on the table stagnated for a second. Ye Li paused the spoon that was brought to his mouth, raised his eyes and looked at Lu Keming calmly.

Fang Ziang coughed and lowered his head silently. Shen Minghua frowned and also looked at Lu Keming.

"Of course." Lu Keming naturally noticed the gazes falling on him, but he smiled faintly as if he didn't notice anything. He was about to continue speaking along the lines of Grandma Li, but Yu Youyou's name stopped at the tip of his tongue.

Lu Keming paused for a few seconds and lowered his eyes, "... Youyou is so cute, I naturally like her too."

Ye Li paused for a few seconds, then put the porridge into his mouth as if nothing had happened.

"Of course, my Xiaoyou is the cutest dog in the whole village. Who can not like it?" Grandma Li is happy to hear others praise her puppy.

"Yes, we all like Youyou." Ye Li put the spoon in the bowl and responded casually, but his eyes were fixed on Lu Keming.

"Really?" Lu Keming snorted lightly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he raised his eyes to look at Ye Li, with a hint of contempt and arrogance in his eyes.

Yu Youyou's eyes moved between the few people. Seeing that the meat in the bowl was gone and the plate was empty, and Lu Keming hadn't moved yet, she became more and more anxious.

Lu Keming withdrew his gaze and was about to look at Yu Youyou when he found a pair of claws on his arms.

Following the pair of claws upwards, what was seen was Xiao Tusong with her head tilted back and her dog mouth open. Her dark eyes stared at the meat in Lu Keming's hand, frantically signaling Lu Keming to give her the meat.

Lu Keming paused, coughed lightly, tore a piece of meat and put it into Yu Youyou's mouth.

Only then did Yu Youyou sit back.

After everyone finished breakfast, Shen Minghua and Ye Li told Grandma Li that they wanted to go for a walk in the village, and Grandma Li responded.

But Yu Youyou kept holding onto the two men's legs. Seeing her like that, Granny Li knew that she was going out to play, so she carried Yu Youyou back and put a bright red sweater on her.

The sweater was knitted by Grandma Li specifically for Yu Youyou. She also knitted a small tiger hat and hung a red plush ball on both sides with the extra wool.

"The weather is getting cold, Youyou, you should wear more clothes, or you'll catch a cold." Grandma Li kept muttering as she helped Yu Youyou put clothes on.

When the chubby puppy jumped out from the threshold, Lu Keming had been waiting at the door for a long time.

The puppy had been mumbling since she walked out the door. Lu Keming couldn't hear what she was saying, so he lowered his head and listened carefully, and then he heard what Yu Youyou said.

"Youyou isn't cold at all. Youyou has lots of hair and is warm..."

Although she said this, she did not try to take off her clothes and let the heavy clothes remain on her body.

Lu Keming stood under the eaves, his eyes fell on Yu Youyou who was wearing a red sweater, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Young master, let's go." Anthony led Godot over and said to Lu Keming.

Lu Keming turned his head, glanced at Godot, who was sitting next to Anthony with his back straight, and nodded.

Behind Lu Keming, the ball of fur attached to Yu Youyou's hat kept swinging in the air with her steps. As she walked, her eyes widened and she stretched out her claws to pull the ball of fur as she walked.

Then he fell hard on the stairs.

When Lu Keming heard the sound, he turned around and saw Yu Youyou with her chin hit on the ground. He quickly picked her up, held her in his arms, rubbed her chin, frowned and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It's okay, there's plenty of meat." Yu Youyou answered nonchalantly without any nervousness.

After saying that, she seemed to remember something, and leaned close to Lu Keming's ear as if offering a treasure, showing him the hair on her chest: "Lu Keming, let me touch it for you."

There was some doubt in Lu Keming's eyes, but he still followed Yu Youyou's words and touched her fur.

"what happened?"

"Isn't it warm and soft?" Yu Youyou enthusiastically told Lu Keming about her new discovery. After that, she sneaked close to Lu Keming's ear and whispered:

"This is the puppy's heart-protecting hair. I'm telling you alone, don't tell anyone else."
