Dream Pet Shop

Xia Ji poured the pet food he brought into each cage, and changed each cage with clean drinking water. After doing this, his mood calmed down a little.

He didn't expect that most of the "pets" in this pet shop were not real pets.

They have neither noble blood nor pleasing appearance, and may not even be born and raised in a safe, clean and comfortable environment.Each pet has different degrees of scars or defects, some have no hair, some are stunted... Xia Ji even suspected that these "pets" were picked up by his grandfather on the side of the road.

Xia Ji began to worry.

You must know that modern people are very picky about keeping pets.Some people like to choose the breed, and some people like to choose the appearance. In addition to these, they also need to look at the pet's birth certificate, health certificate, etc. Even if they have all these, they may also choose the pet's personality.

Xia Ji thinks that these pets in the store must not be sold and can only be adopted by others, but who is willing to adopt "defective" pets?

The task of the system is really not that simple, but Xia Ji is optimistic by nature, and he will not give up easily on the things he likes.

He first called Xia Guozheng to confirm if he had found a buyer for this store.

"This location is too remote, it's hard to find a buyer." Xia Guozheng looked very helpless on the other end of the phone.

When Xia Ji heard that no one bought it, he immediately felt relieved and said, "Uncle, I just want to buy this store, so I will pay the price you asked."

Xia Guozheng was very surprised and asked Xia Ji: "You are not serious, are you? What are you buying this store for?"

Xia Ji said with certainty: "I'm serious. I have loved animals since I was a child, but I have never had the opportunity to touch them. I just took this opportunity to do something I like. The money I saved from my previous work was probably enough to buy half of it, and the rest I can go for a loan with the money.”

When Xia Guozheng heard that he was serious, he was even more surprised. After thinking for a while, he said: "The store left by your grandfather is nothing for you. It can't be sold anyway. You can do whatever you want. Someday you don't want to buy it." Once it’s opened, it’s the same if it’s sold again.”

Xia Ji hung up the phone, and called Xia Guozheng all his fixed deposits that night, leaving only a little living money on hand.Xia Ji's character is unambiguous, and he must do one thing seriously without ambiguity.

The next day Xia Ji bought cleaning supplies and went to clean the pet store himself.After working for a long time, I finally finished cleaning the first floor and cleaned up the rooms on the second floor.In the evening, he quit the rent of the current house and asked Xia Guozheng to drive a van to help him move everything into the second floor of the pet shop.

After finishing all this work, Xia Ji ordered some high-quality pet nutrition products online to restore the vitality of these pets in the store. After all, no one has raised them for several months, and they seem to be a little wilted.

When Xia Ji was free, he walked around a few pets. Those "flawed" pets may have been injured before and were not very active. Xia Ji planned to keep them for a while.In the end he locked his target on a small parrot.

This little parrot has been kept in a high cage. Although there is no one in the pet store, its spirit looks good, jumping around in the cage.

After thinking about it, Xia Ji closed the shop door and windows, and then opened the cage.

The little parrot looked left and right at the door of the cage, then spread its wings with a "hula", flew out of the cage, flew around the whole shop several times, and landed on the table in front of Xia Ji to peck its own feathers.Xia Ji could tell that the parrot was very excited when it flew just now, and it probably hasn't spread its wings for a long time.

Xia Ji had never observed a parrot so closely. He compared it with his hands and found that the parrot was only the size of a fist, with blue feathers all over its body, except for some cherries on its tail and cheeks. Red, especially the two round blushes on the cheeks, like rouge.

The little parrot stared at Xia Ji's face, blinked his eyes, and suddenly tilted his head, Xia Ji was so cute that he wanted to vomit blood immediately!He took out his phone and kept taking pictures.

The street of the pet store is sparsely populated, and it is impossible to wait for customers to come to your door.So Xia Ji registered a Weibo account called "Dream Pet Shop", and planned to post the news of the pets in the store on Weibo to promote it.Then he picked out a few pictures of the little parrot and posted them.

Xia Ji felt that posting photos was not enough, so he glanced at the parrot and edited a message: "The little parrot is looking for a kind-hearted adopter. If you are interested, send a private message. If you are the one."

Xia Ji remembered that some parrots could learn to speak or sing, so he fed it a little bird food and asked it: "Little parrot, can you talk?"

The little parrot blinked, ignored Xia Ji, and jumped up and down on the table to peck and eat.

"Can't talk?" Xia Ji didn't give up, and kept saying hello to the parrot: "Hello! Hello! Hello!"

The bird food on the table was finished, and the rest was held in the bag by Xia Ji. The little parrot looked at the expectant Xia Ji, suddenly turned his head, and burst out a sentence: "Little brother, online dating? My loli sound."

"Pfft——" Xia Ji couldn't hold back his saliva, how fat four is, it's really a loli voice!

Help, why is this bird so funny!Xia Ji laughed and pounded on the table, and asked it again: "What else do you want?"

Seeing that the bag of bird food was still tightly held by Xia Ji, the little parrot blinked, opened its mouth and said: "A gentleman is beautiful when he is an adult, but a villain is a man who is loved by others."

"Wow! You can also read poetry!" Xia Ji was overjoyed, he scratched his head, and always felt that something was wrong, but he was too excited to think about it, "Forget it, try something else, can you sing?" Take out your phone, ready to record.

As if sensing the existence of the camera, the little parrot shook the crown feathers on its head seriously, stretched its neck, and raised its head to sing: "Love is when the light comes, and it is suspected that there is frost on the ground..."

"Hahahahaha!" Xia Ji laughed so hard that he almost fainted, this little guy must have confused the lyrics with the poems, he is so stupid and cute!

Xia Ji put the bird food bag aside, concentrated on making special effects for the video, and planned to post this video on Weibo, and there must be many people who want to adopt this little parrot.

The little parrot clattered to the side of the bag and began to peck fiercely.It wasn't until he ate half a bag of bird food that he finally narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and shook his feathers.After eating it well, it started chatting again.

"Jianjia is blue, white dew is frost."

Seeing that it started reading poems again, Xia Ji happily recorded it with his mobile phone.

"The so-called Yiren are on the side of the net. If you see them by chance, your face will be big and long; if you meet them by chance, your waist will be as big as a water tank."

Xia Ji: "..." Who taught this?

The little parrot couldn't stop reciting poems.

"I am born to be useful, and the son of a mouse can make holes."

"I would like to be lovebirds in the sky, and fly separately when disaster strikes."

"There are 3000 beauties in the harem, and iron pestles are ground into embroidery needles."

……

The more Xia Ji heard it, the more he became distraught. He was so frightened that he quickly threw away his phone and covered the bird's mouth.I thought, Yaoshou!The little bird is playing hooligans!

"If you keep talking nonsense like that, Miss Sister won't like you." Xia Ji shook his index finger at the little parrot, and the little parrot blinked innocently at Xia Ji with a blank expression on his face.

Xia Ji sighed, and put the parrot back into the cage, such a cute little guy didn't know who taught him bad.To let Xia Ji know who it is, he must have a copy of "Complete Collection of Poems".

Once again, the road to adoption is full of unknowns.After a busy day, Xia Ji was physically and mentally exhausted. He turned off the lights on the first floor and went to sleep on the second floor worried.

After a while, the pets on the first floor in the darkness heard the steady breathing from the second floor with their keen sense of hearing.

As night falls, humans fall asleep, but the eyes of animals light up in the dark.

The pets who were drowsy during the day were refreshed one by one at this time. They either stretched out their front paws to grab the cage, or raised their ears, and collectively looked at the window next to the back door on the first floor.

Outside the window is an old cherry blossom tree. The cherry blossoms have faded early, and now the branches and leaves are lush. The moonlight passes through the gaps between the branches and sprinkles on the empty window sill.

Suddenly, a black shadow sprang out of the window.

The pets in the cages stood taller on tiptoes and stretched out their necks.

The black shadow landed on the window sill accurately, its golden pupils shone in the moonlight, and the originally locked window was easily opened by it.

It got in, jumped vigorously, and landed on the ground silently.

Under the moonlight, it was completely black and shaped like an elegant cat.It's just that there are a pair of small horns growing on its head, a pair of inconspicuous wings are hidden in the thick hair on its back, and its tail is curled. As long as it moves around, the ends of the jet-black hair will emit golden flashes.

The pets in the cage began to stir, scratching the cage constantly.The black cat-like animal walked over gracefully, walked around in front of each cage, and sniffed lightly.

After a while, the pets calmed down one by one, slowly closed their eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.

This "black cat" caught a trace of a special smell in the air. It looked up to the direction of the second floor, its golden pupils shrinking.

"Black Cat" went up to the second floor, and the closed door automatically opened a crack, and it sneaked in quietly.

The person on the bed was sound asleep, without a trace of defense.

The "black cat" came to the bed, and the moonlight shone into the room from the balcony, casting the shadow of the "black cat" on the wall.A gust of wind blew past the house, and the shadow on the wall suddenly grew larger, and its outline became hideous.

At this time, Xia Ji was unaware of the strangeness in the bedroom, and was sleeping soundly while hugging the quilt, probably having a sweet dream, with a smile on his lips.

It silently approached the person on the bed and sniffed it, and was stunned, the smell... was actually very clean.

Xia Ji, who was dreaming of herds of cats and dogs and making money every day, unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth while holding the quilt.

The huge shadow on the wall stood still for a while, before shrinking back to its original size again.

Under the moonlight, the "black cat" stared at Xia Ji who was sleeping, then turned around, jumped out of the balcony, and disappeared into the night.
