Dog Who Was Unsuccessful at Stealing Beauty (3)
The film exceeded expectations, and there was a pet trend forming in the market. As a dog with its own Weibo, Little Pudding could be seen as a little Internet celebrity, and by occasionally posting a cute picture, he could draw likes and comments in. Mother Lu knew that her own Little Pudding not only filmed a movie, but actually also had this many fans. After the film was released, he had almost over 500,000. Thus, he was very interested in taking the pictures occasionally posted on Weibo by the steward, who managed it for her son.
Everyday, aside from beautifying herself, buying, buying, buying, and meeting up with a group of upper-cla.s.s friends, Mother Lu was quite bored during the day. Earlier on, she could still accompany her best friend and go out to relieve her boredom, but now that she"d come home from relieving her boredom and her best friend plunged into a project, Mother Lu once again had no alternative but to pet the dog everyday in her free time. Now, she found out that her cutie actually entered the entertainment circle, and as a result, she found her own life goal. She had to make her cutie into the Internet"s most popular celebrity dog!
In the past, Mother Lu didn"t pay much attention to those things on the Internet. However, once she started paying attention, she became an upper-cla.s.s woman with an Internet addiction. Seeing that her own Little Pudding was this popular and many people were calling him so cute, so handsome, and so meng, and that people were asking to organize a dog-stealing group, Mother Lu laughed and was happy. She couldn"t help but take pictures everyday, and even so much that she"d secretly sneak pictures of Little Pudding doing his business, which simply scared the dog so much that his chrysanthemum shrunk.
Walking pictures, running pictures, sleeping pictures, even eating pictures were taken. It was to the extent that sometimes, she"d s.n.a.t.c.h him over and change him into pretty clothes for a change of pace. Everyday, after Lu Chenghe went to work, Zuo Ning suffered from being ravaged by Mother Lu. For the first time, he"d felt that life in the spotlight was actually this tiring.
In the middle of the night, one person and one dog washed up and got into bed. Lying down under the fluffy quilt, fatigue from ending the day could be felt. These past few days, the temperature had fallen greatly and when sleeping at night, Lu Chenghe would close the balcony doors and only open one window. The early winter wind blew in from the window, making the night even colder.
Zuo Ning laid on Lu Chenghe"s stomach and between him and Lu Chenghe, there was only a set of thin pajamas. Previously, there"d been a time when he heard the steward say that Lu Chenghe very rarely wore pajamas to bed. Towards this, Zuo Ning was very discontent and stretched out his claws onto his pajamas to hook onto them a few times. He didn"t wear them before, so why did he wear them everyday when sleeping with him?
Lu Chenghe grabbed those mischievous paws: “You"ve already torn three of my three pajamas this month. If you break a fourth pair, you"ll sleep in a kennel alone.”
“Wu…” How about you take off your clothes and sleep? I won"t mind.
Lu Chenghe stuffed his paws into the quilt. It was rare for him to not read before going to bed tonight. Instead, he looked things up on the computer. Everything was in English. Zuo Ning looked at it for a while and felt his vision go blurry. He hadn"t even pa.s.sed sixth grade English.
Obediently laying on Lu Chenghe"s body for a while, he thought of the suffering he"d gone through these days and couldn"t help but pat his stomach with a paw: "Awoo!" Do you need to control your mama?
Lu Chenghe stroked his head: “Don"t make trouble.”
"Wu..” Don"t you know that your mama torments me everyday?! Last time, she even snuck a picture of me "en en"ing!
Lu Chenghe was very halfhearted: "En."
Zuo Ning used his own paw pad to press on Lu Chenghe"s stomach, and he couldn"t help but pinch it a bit; however, his claws were too short. A furball simply couldn"t pinch it: "Awoo.." How about in the future, you take me to work with you? It"s difficult for mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws to get along.
Lu Chenghe continued to be perfunctory: “En.” Although he didn"t understand, he felt that if he didn"t respond, this little thing would continue to bark.
Knowing that Lu Chenghe simply couldn"t understand what he was saying, Zuo Ning helplessly sighed. It felt like a person from Earth dating an alien dog (w.a.n.gXINGREN FIX THIS); there was love but also communication barriers, and they couldn"t become happy.
Hearing the dog sighing, Lu Chenghe gave him a glance and pinched those furry ears: “You even learned to sigh. If you"re not sleeping, what are you sighing for?"
“Awu.” Even if I tell you, you won"t understand. I"m ignoring you, sleep!
Looking at this little thing, the whole dog had gotten into the quilt, leaving only a nose to breathe. He had an appearance of "I"m going to bed. Don"t disturb me."
Lu Chenghe couldn"t help but pat the bulging quilt by his side: “Your little temper is pretty big.”
Seeing that Little Pudding had his eyes closed and was really ready to go to sleep, Lu Chenghe also didn"t mess with him anymore. However, it wasn"t quiet for long before he felt that there was noise continuously coming from inside the quilt just like before. Lu Chenghe lifted the quilt up and saw Little Pudding"s paw hooking onto the edges of his pajamas, trying to stretch out his paws so that they could enter his clothes.
His pajamas were made of silk and were originally very p.r.o.ne to fraying, not to mention having a dog"s claws against it over and over again. Before these pajamas got turned into sc.r.a.ps, Lu Chenghe took the dog"s paw out of his clothes and pinched those paw pads. His sharp claws unconsciously stretched out.
"Little Pudding."
Zuo Ning closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Lu Chenghe kneaded his paws and shook them: “Since you don"t want this paw, then why don"t I chop it off?"
When Lu Chenghe finished speaking, he felt that the paws in his palms were shrinking back, but the little thing was still pretending to sleep with his eyes closed.
Lu Chenghe closed the computer and put it on the side. He grabbed the puppy and put him under his arm. Zuo Ning was shocked and quickly opened his eyes to look at Lu Chenghe. What was he doing?
Lu Chenghe took out a nail clipper from the drawer of the nightstand, grabbed a dog paw, and looked back at Little Pudding whose eyes were opened and focused on him: “Don"t move. Otherwise, I"ll cut off one of your paws!"
Hearing these words, Zuo Ning was terrified didn"t dare to move in an instant. Lu Chenghe hadn"t cut his nails. Every time, it was Doctor Wen who came to cut them. What if he really cut one off and gave him a limp?
"Awoo!" You be careful with my paws!
Lu Chenghe didn"t turn back and instead lowered his head to cut: “Don"t be noisy. If you keep being noisy, I"ll cut it all off."
Zuo Ning aggrievedly kept silent. His head had been held in place by Lu Chenghe so he just looked on as a sharp nail was trimmed by Lu Chenghe until two of his paws were entirely trimmed. Lu Chenghe still didn"t let him go, even his two hind legs weren"t let off.
Zuo Ning was forced to lay on the bed with his two hind legs resting on the edge of the bed. He moved a little, and Lu Chenghe hit him on his b.u.t.t. He wanted to look back and take a quick look but was also going to be hit. Hearing the "kcha, kcha" sounds, he felt wronged and humphed. They were all cut a bit. He wasn"t fierce and powerful anymore. He didn"t even have an advantage when scratching people anymore.
Although it was his first time cutting nails for a dog, Lu Chenghe was skilled after cutting one or two. Although Little Pudding got trimmed regularly, the tr.i.m.m.i.n.gs were no match for the speed at which they grew. These nails had grown until they were like small hooks. No wonder his pajamas were turned into sc.r.a.ps one after another. After tr.i.m.m.i.n.g, he filed them down until they weren"t able to hook onto people before placing the puppy down on the middle of the bed: “I"ll see how you disturb me now."
Looking at Lu Chenghe who went to the bathroom to wash his hands, Zuo Ning well-behavedly searched for a good position to lay down in. Oh… In the future, he won"t let Doctor Wen cut his nails for him. From now on, that"ll be set aside for Lu Chenghe!
