When they were about to reach the backdoor of the neighbourhood, Shu Shu was suddenly astounded.

“What’s wrong?” Yu Yu looked at the direction of her eyes, a dog?

Both of them went closer. The dog was lying on the ground. Rain was falling down on it, and blood spread out to all sides. Its nose was still moving slightly, a sign that it was still alive.Full novel: Downstairs 249, Upstairs 251 — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Shu Shu was about to stretch her hands out when Yu Yu stopped her, “I’ll go to the vet clinic, don’t touch it!”

He then pushed the umbrella into her hand, and he ran off under the rain.

She stared at his back blankly, then she tilted the umbrella slightly to shield the dog in front of her.

The dog opened its eyes a little. Shu Shu gently caressed the fur on its head as a comforting gesture.

The yellow fur dog let out a groan, moving its head to rub it against her hand.

Shu Shu put her hand in front of its nose to check its breathing. It licked her gently.

Its breathing was growing weaker. Shu Shu’s eyes grew red, “Hold on! Get better, and I’ll bring you home… Back to our home.”

“Wuu Wuu..” She didn’t know if it understood what she was saying when it let out a small noise, and moved with much difficulty.

Yu Yu returned quickly. There were many facilities around this neighbourhood, and the vet clinic was also not far away.

He was thoroughly drenched when he brought a small stretcher and put it in front of the yellow dog.

“Doctor said to bring it there!” He didn’t let Shu Shu help as he gently placed the dog on the stretcher.

He took the stretcher up with both hands. Shu Shu followed close behind him, using her umbrella to shelter the dog.

……

The yellow dog was having surgery inside. The drenched Yu Yu and Shu Shu stood opposite to each other, gawking.

A staff let out a cough,

“Do you want to go back and change your clothes first?”

Shu Shu shook her head, and asked her, “Can I adopt this dog?”

“This is a native dog, and not one of a good breed.” She explained, trying to confirm her thoughts.

Shu Shu nodded, “I know, but I still want to adopt it!”

Perhaps it started when it licked her that time, or when it caressed her back, Shu Shu thought she finally had a companion…

The yellow dog needed to stay in the hospital for a few days. Shu Shu made a few checkups and signed the contract. This dog had officially belonged to her.

This dog was previously a wild dog, so she couldn’t take any legal action or to file a complaint to the one who hit it.

She brought the dog who still needed rest back home. She let out a sigh, and wrote on her Poisonous Chicken Soup weibo,

[I brought back a family, I will give it all my love…]

(TN: In the Chinese language, Shu Shu wrote ‘a family’ in the preposition of an animal. 一只家人)

HaHaHa: A… family?

Wei Du Da I Love you: Ha ha ha, Du Da, is this what your language teacher taught you?!

Old Days Old Times: I think Du Da wrote it deliberately… a family, we know you brought home a pet. But describing your family as an animal, are you sure your family won’t hit you once they see it?

Boss asked me to scout the mountains: Ha ha ha, a family, I like it!

Big River: Photo please

……

Shu Shu replied to the third comment,

[Du Da: A dog should use that preposition right? Can’t I treat it as family? So… anything wrong with ‘a family’? This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.

Attached pic: Wah, please have some sense]

Dream A Thousand Years: 666666[1]

Miao Miao: Ha ha ha, nothing wrong with that

Old Days Old Times: Haha, Du Da noticed me. Nothing wrong with that!

Peace for the rest of the life: Ah Ah Ah! Du Da, please notice me!

Rabbit: Photo, photo

……

Shu Shu replied to the one who asked for photo,

[Du Da: I haven’t taken care of it yet, so it’s not yet handsome and cool. Just wait till it’s better, it’ll definitely use its striking look to charm you all… hahaha]

Du Da I love you: /Goodbye, no love anymore. Du Da is not just a narcissist herself, but also towards her own dog too…

Small rose: Du Da, I love to see your narcissism.

Drawing butterfly: Narcissism is a disease, and Du Da is incurable /sad sad

Old Days Old Times: I look forward /starry eyes

Piao Piao: Hahaha, handsome and cool?! What breed is the dog?

……

Shu Shu thought about it, then replied to Piao Piao,

[Du Da: Chinese Field Dog]

Piao Piao: ……

White Moonlight: Hahaha, I thought about it for a long time, and only remembered that the Chinese Field Dog is a native dog, hahahahaha

Up and Down: Don’t say that! A native dog is good enough too, alright?!

Old Days Old Times: Hahaha, no one says a native dog is bad, they’re pretty nice. I just want to laugh at Du Da’s Chinese Field Dog, haha

Only One: Hahaha, Du Da, what’s the Chinese Field Dog’s name?

……

Shu Shu pondered about it, and wrote the name, Yellow Fur. She then remembered that the guy upstairs also followed Du Da’s weibo. Hm, she couldn’t risk her disguise!

[Poisonous Chicken Soup: The dog’s name is Big Gold.]

Small Rose: ……

chenduo: Big… Gold…

Old Days Old Times: Pffttt, I spat out water from the shock.

Liang Chen: Hahaha, Du Da, help me say hi to Big Gold!

Come without shadow: Doggy! Your mum has named you Big Gold!!!

……

Yu Yu was just scrolling through Du Da’s weibo. Du Da also adopted a native dog? He frowned and sent a message to the one downstairs.

[250 Upstairs: Have you named the dog?] New chapters come out on g.com first.

Shu Shu replied quickly,

[250 Downstairs: Yes, Yellow Fur.]

[250 Upstairs: ……]

[250 Upstairs: Hahaha, genius, all are geniuses!]

When Shu Shu refreshed the page, she saw a comment just like this,

[Da Yu: Hahaha, Du Da is as bizarre as my 250 Downstairs! She also adopted a Chinese Field Dog, and named it Yellow Fur, hahaha]

She blinked, very good, you, are, very well!

The other comments started building up quickly. Shu Shu didn’t care anymore. She closed her computer and went on to accompany her new companion!

“Yellow Fur, from now on, your name is Yellow Fur, remember it…”

Yellow Fur moved and licked her hand in nostalgia. Shu Shu smiled.

They said that having a lowly name would help to survive longer. Yellow Fur had sustained too many injuries from the car accident last time. The doctor said its injuries might affect it in the future, so she gave it a lowly name in hope that it would survive longer.

“Bang bang bang!” She knew from the sound that it must be the 250 Upstairs. This guy never knew the existence of a doorbell!

“What’s up?”

“Dog food…”

“You are being so kind?” The dog food Shu Shu ordered for Yellow Fur was not available in the shop yesterday, and was only able to restock today. In the end, this guy who lived upstairs had gone to retrieve it.

“Of course! I helped to rescue this dog too, alright?!”

Yu Yu rolled his eyes, and later asked, “How is Yellow Fur doing?”

“It’s doing okay, but not completely healed yet.”

She paused, then continued, “The one who drove the car was just too disgusting. It hit Yellow Fur, so he should at least take it to the hospital! But he left it there at the same place, who knows if he’ll get injured again!”

“You can’t report it?”

Shu Shu shook her head, her brows wrinkled, “I’ve asked, Yellow Fur is not my dog at that time, so I have no right to take legal action. Even if I found the guy, he’ll just compensate with money. It’s sickening.”

Yu Yu didn’t say anything. He went home after passing the dog food to Shu Shu and pulled his phone out.

“Dong Zi, help me check the CCTV recording on XX street for the past two days. I’ve got a dog that’s been hit!”

“Of course, I’m Mister Yu, I won’t let it be bullied even if it’s just a dog!”

“Sure, do it fast. Pass it to Lao Meng after you’ve cut the recording, thanks.”

He hung up, and then called another person,

“Lao Meng, Dong Zi will send you a recording later, help me find out the identity of the person who was driving the car!”

“He hit my dog.”

“Huh, he hit it and dared to run away. Forget it, remember to message me later, write in detail.”

Turning off the phone, he sat on the sofa and thought back to Shu Shu’s wrinkled brow and slightly red eyes. For some reason, he felt an unexplainable uneasiness.

Eh? Why was he being so dedicated?

Since when did he start to love small animals?

At night, the message came in. Yo, it was a second-generation rich kid.

You made me mad, so don’t you dare to feel good inside either!
