Xu Fan drove the new model S7, coming out from the Lu Family Port Car City, heading straight for the Star of Zhonghai.
On the road, Tongtong sat in the comfortable child seat, wobbling about as he toyed with the various switches and decorations in the car, full of curiosity.
After playing with all kinds of buttons in the car for a while, the restless little troublemaker Tongtong leaned against the window, beginning to take in the outside scenery.
At that time, the traffic in Zhonghai City had already started to get slightly congested. Even though the S7 Xu Fan was driving could accelerate to a hundred kilometers in just over five seconds, when driving on congested roads, the speed was still slow as a crawl.
Xu Fan looked at the long line of cars and felt a bit of a headache, but Tongtong was curiously perched against the window, watching the passersby on the street.
Just as Xu Fan was about to turn on the car stereo to listen to a song to soothe his mood, he saw Tongtong, as if startled, suddenly twist back into the seat from the window side, then said with a wronged expression, “Daddy, daddy, there is a big dog outside, Tongtong is really scared…”
Xu Fan glanced outside the window and saw a young man on the sidewalk holding a dog leash, walking a black and white Husky on the street.
It was this dog that had scared Tongtong from the window to the safety of her seat.
Seeing Tongtong’s aggrieved expression, Xu Fan felt a pang of heartache.
That damn Bald Qiang, because of his Tibetan Mastiff, had frightened Tongtong to such an extent. Xu Fan quietly resolved to break his limbs and throw him on the street to beg.
However, thinking of Tongtong’s current state, Xu Fan was filled with worry. Tongtong was still young, and such a scare could leave psychological trauma—the worst possibility—significantly affecting her growth.
Dogs are very common animals in society. If Tongtong remained afraid of dogs because of this incident, that could be a huge problem.
Therefore, Xu Fan, after much thought, decided he had to erase Tongtong’s fear right now. Otherwise, this shadow could follow her for life. As Tongtong’s father, Xu Fan would not allow this to happen.
Thus, Xu Fan slowed the car down, turned his head towards Tongtong, and asked, “Baby, how about daddy find you a little companion? From now on, when Tongtong goes out, it can join daddy in protecting Tongtong.”
A little companion?
Tongtong, upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, had curious light shining in her bright, large eyes and then shook her two little braids saying, “Tongtong wants a little companion, Tongtong gets so bored every day. Daddy, mommy, and aunt all treat Tongtong like a child, but with a little companion, Tongtong can play with him.”
Tongtong said with a hint of childishness.
In fact, when Tongtong was in America, because the other children were white and black, there was an inherent discrimination against people of Asian descent. Additionally, since the public safety in America was pretty bad, Xu Yixue rarely allowed Tongtong to interact with other children. Thus, in America, Tongtong had been incredibly lonely. Now, hearing Xu Fan was going to find her a companion, she was suddenly overjoyed.
Seeing Tongtong’s excited eyes, Xu Fan also felt a wave of self-reproach.
Not only had Tongtong lacked fatherly love since she was young, but she had also suffered quite a bit while with Xu Yixue abroad, all due to Xu Fan’s fault. He silently vowed not to let Tongtong return to America, that place where she faced exclusion and instead ensure she grew up healthy and happy in Yan Country.
“Alright, daddy will go and find a little companion for Tongtong right now.”
Xu Fan turned the steering wheel and accelerated forward.
“Daddy daddy, who’s the little sidekick you’re getting for Tongtong?” Tongtong asked curiously.
“Don’t be impatient, Tongtong, you’ll find out in a moment.” Xu Fan said to Tongtong with a wink, speaking mysteriously.
Before long, Xu Fan’s car stopped in front of a flagship pet store called Love Pet Baby.
Xu Fan looked at the store’s sizable storefront and upscale decor, so he decided to buy a pet there for Tongtong.
Xu Fan picked up Tongtong and went straight into the store.
The store was decorated in a cartoon style, very clean, without a hint of the typical animal smell.
Right in the center of the store was a huge electronic screen, showing cute promotional videos of dogs and cats that attracted attention, and there was also a refined shelf filled with various pet foods and canned goods.
“Tongtong, do you think it’d be nice for daddy to buy you a cute little dog to be your sidekick?” Xu Fan said to Tongtong, pointing at a cute puppy on the screen.
“Wu wu… Dogs are so scary, Tongtong doesn’t want a dog… Dogs will bully Tongtong…” Tongtong’s face suddenly showed a hint of fear, clearly, the aftershock from being frightened by Bald Qiang’s dog in the morning was still lingering in Tongtong’s heart.
“You see, this dog won’t bite, it will protect Tongtong instead, and it looks not at all fierce, just as cute as Tongtong,” Xu Fan said, picking up Tongtong to get a good look at the fluffy white snowball in the promotional video.
The round and rolling snowball was simply a born cutie; its clumsy antics soon had Xu Fan laughing.
“This doggy is so cute, not fierce at all.” Tongtong said, pointing at the snowball on the screen, her eyes full of little stars.
“Haha, so shall we go pick out a cute dog to be Tongtong’s sidekick?” Xu Fan asked gently, rubbing Tongtong’s head with his chin.
“Yes, yes!” Tongtong instantly became excited.
At this moment, a pet store attendant came over and, seeing the luxury car parked outside by Xu Fan, did not dare to neglect them and warmly started introducing the pets in the store to Xu Fan.
“Take us to pick out a dog.” Xu Fan said to the attendant, who, upon hearing this, led Xu Fan and Tongtong to the kennels at the back of the pet shop.
This is where all the store’s dogs lived.
There were more than ten breeds, including Siberian Huskies, Golden Retrievers, Alaskan Malamutes, Poodles, Chow Chows, and others.
In each kennel lived two or three puppies of the same breed.
Seeing so many puppies, each one cuter than the next, and their voices so milky, Tongtong immediately started hopping about, looking at them one by one.
Xu Fan scanned over the bunch of dogs with different fur colors and suddenly sensed something was off, turning his head towards the corner of the kennel.
There, was a worn wire cage.
