Chapter 146 Ten years is the limit of Fu Bao's life and body.
Fu Bao just wants an answer, a definite explanation.

"No, Wen Yu has always remembered you, Fu Bao. Your master has not forgotten you."

Fu Bao suddenly raised her head. "Really?"
"I'm here today on Wen Yu's behalf to take you to see him."

"Okay, Fu Bao is going, let's go quickly."

“Okay, let’s go. But, Fu Bao, would you like to take a bath, then eat something, and get your fur trimmed? We want to go to see your owner looking beautiful, okay?” Song Zhi Ning suggested.

After hesitating for a moment, Fu Bao agreed.

So everyone saw that Fu Bao, who would never leave no matter who teased him, actually left with a beautiful, unfamiliar girl, following her closely.

Song Zhining noticed that Fu Bao was walking rather slowly, perhaps because of his leg problems.

Song Zhining walked slowly, waiting for it.

She didn't go far before finding a pet hospital where the vet gave Fu Bao a full-body check-up, a bath, and a haircut.

Fu Bao was very well-behaved throughout and cooperated obediently the whole time.

While the veterinarian was giving it a bath, it kept chattering and talking to Song Zhining.

"Fu Bao needs to be washed very clean. In the past, the owner would bathe Fu Bao himself."

"Fu Bao is not difficult to raise. Fu Bao eats less now and will not be a burden to its owner."

"Fu Bao also needs to look pretty, so that her owner will like her even more."

……

As Fu Bao spoke, Song Zhi Ning looked at the doctor's report on Fu Bao's physical examination and gently echoed its words.

The examination report showed that Fu Bao's health had been declining over the past 5 years. Originally, some local dogs, at the age of 8, are not considered old, but rather middle-aged and entering old age, and their health is still quite good.

However, Fu Bao's health is poor, and her physical functions are now at the level of an elderly person.

It is weakening; its bodily functions, digestive ability, skin elasticity, and so on are all declining. Therefore, it is eating less and less and its strength is getting weaker and weaker.

And its only remaining eye, because it had cried so much, its vision was already blurred.

My nose has become increasingly less sensitive due to the dust and other factors at the intersection.

His legs and feet also seem to have rheumatism problems.

In short, Fu Bao has illnesses all over his body. The medical report even stated that if Fu Bao's health does not improve, he may only have 3 years left to live.

Fu Bao, however, persisted until 2024.

It lasted for 2 years longer than originally intended.

Fu Bao waited for Wen Yu on Huaitian Road for 10 years. 10 years was the limit of Fu Bao's life and physical condition.

Song Zhining could hardly imagine how Fu Bao, with its frail and sickly body, persisted in waiting for Wen Yu to pick it up during those last two years.

Two years is the limit of Fu Bao's life.

Unfortunately, it never got to see its owner come to pick it up.

Even until its death, it may be influenced by those around it, and may feel sad, wondering if its owner has truly forgotten it or abandoned it.

How desperate and sad Fu Bao must have been.

Song Zhining turned to the side and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Fu Bao has finished her bath and her fur has been dried; she is currently getting her fur trimmed.

"Yes, it needs to be trimmed here too, it can't be too long here."

"We're going to give Fu Bao a cool haircut! Fu Bao is going to see his owner, doctor! Fu Bao is going to see his owner! You know what? Fu Bao is so happy..."

The small pet hospital was filled with Fu Bao's cheerful voice.

It even hummed an unknown tune. Song Zhining remembered that Wen Yu had hummed it during the immersive experience.

After the haircut was finished, Song Zhining took Fu Bao into a taxi and headed somewhere.

On the way, Fu Bao sat next to Song Zhi Ning, and surprisingly, she became quiet.

Perhaps, when you're about to meet someone you've been waiting for, whether it's a person or a dog, you feel a mix of trepidation and anticipation.

I don't know how much time passed until the driver said, "We've arrived."

A person and a dog got off the bus.

Looking at the public cemetery in front of her, Song Zhining saw the rows of tombstones and sighed softly.

Fu Bao, on the other hand, probably doesn't quite understand where this place is.

Feeling very curious about this place, she asked Song Zhi Ning, "Pretty sister, is Fu Bao's owner inside? Is he waiting for Fu Bao inside?"

“Yes,” Song Zhi Ning replied. “Fu Bao, let’s go in.”

"it is good."

A man and a dog walked in.

Song Zhining only knew from Wen Yu's request that Wen Yu was buried here, but she didn't know exactly where he was buried.

So she could only walk past each tombstone, looking at the names on them one by one.

Since there were no warm encounters ahead, we could only continue forward.

As they walked, Fu Bao asked, "Sister, is Fu Bao's owner really here? Why can't I see her?"

“Yes, he’s right here. We might see him soon,” Song Zhining reassured him.

The man and the dog continued walking.

After walking for a while, Fu Bao suddenly stopped.

It turned its head and said in a muffled voice, "Sister, the master is not here. Fu Bao has to leave. Fu Bao has to go find the master."

Song Zhi Ning slowly took two steps forward and then saw the words "Wen Yu" written on the tombstone, as well as a photo of Wen Yu on the tombstone.

Standing before the tombstone, Song Zhining said, "Are you really leaving? Your master is right here. Don't you want to see your master?"

Fu Bao stopped in its tracks but did not answer. The next second, however, it began to whimper.

"Sister, you're lying to Fu Bao."

"You think Fu Bao doesn't know where this is, right?"

“Fu Bao knows. Fu Bao has seen it on TV with its owner before. Fu Bao knows where this is.”

It remembered the tombstones it had seen with its owner before, the tombs where people were buried after they died.

What does it mean for a person to die? The owner had his explanation: it means they won't move, they won't speak, and they'll never be warm again…

Fu Bao was confused about all of this and didn't quite understand, but it knew that dying was not a good thing.

"Fu Bao's owner won't die, won't he?"

Fu Bao ran forward quickly, even though its legs were stiff and it was stumbling, it still ran away, as if everything would be different once it got away and didn't see anything.

"Master is fine, he just doesn't want Fu Bao anymore."

"It's okay, Fu Bao is fine."

Song Zhi Ning, from afar, understood the unspoken meaning in Fu Bao's words. It meant that as long as its master Wen Yu was well, it could accept the outcome of Wen Yu abandoning it, as long as Wen Yu was alright.

Soon, Fu Bao was out of Song Zhi Ning's sight.

I absolutely refuse to admit that I almost cried while writing these chapters, sob sob~
