The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

at the same time
Outside the women's college located in the northern part of the capital city,
The milk tea shop is incredibly popular today, with customers lining up from inside to outside, taking up half the street, and they are all female college students.

Girls aged 18 to 20 are in the prime of their youth and are all dressed up in their finest and most beautiful way.

Logically speaking, girls who can afford designer clothes shouldn't be drinking inexpensive milk tea.

But they couldn't resist the merchants' elaborate tricks.

As the boss's wife, Su Qingyao has a precise understanding of the psychology of girls her age!
Only saw:

Near the store entrance, an elegant female student who had just bought milk tea tossed her hair, seemingly casually but actually deliberately stretching and raising her paper cup.

"I didn't expect it to be the pink one with such a high score?"

"I stayed up late last night and got up late this morning. I didn't even have time to put on makeup before leaving the house."

"It's such a waste to just touch up my light makeup... If I had time to do my makeup, I could definitely have bought the Doro special edition milk tea. Oh well, I'll buy it next time, hehe~."

The elegant senior student smiled faintly as she walked along the crowd toward the intersection, her lips curving slightly.

When I first heard what the senior student said,
The girls in line were all looking down at their phones, pretending to be busy.
No one paid any attention to this senior student.

As soon as the other party walked away, discussions arose, all about what happened behind their backs.

Customer A: "What's with that slut's act? It makes her look bad!"

Customer B: "Exactly. The bubble tea shop is having a promotion today. They use AI to assess your appearance and you can unlock a corresponding level of bubble tea purchase eligibility. The pink one is the second level, not the prettiest one, so they're just showing off."

Customer C: "That's right! She still has the nerve to say 'just touch up light makeup,' she's practically made up a mask."

Customer D: "Let's not talk about that senior student. Do you know Su Qingyao? She's the owner of this milk tea shop, a freshman at our school, and I heard she's really beautiful!"

……

As the female college students in line discussed,

The milk tea shop is having a promotion today.

The specific content of the event is a beauty contest!
Su Qingyao's pet Megalodon served as the judges, evaluating the appearance of each customer and dividing them into 7 levels from high to low.

With top-notch looks, you'll be eligible to purchase the special edition Doro milk tea, priced at 10 yuan.

The second-best option, in terms of appearance, is the pink paper cup version, which also costs 10 yuan.

The third tier of attractiveness... and so on.

Each level of visual appeal will have a corresponding milk tea option.

Then, they advertised on the campus network to generate buzz.
Su Qingyao's impromptu promotional idea last night immediately ignited the competitive spirit among the female college students at the same school!

Almost every girl experiences anxiety about her appearance.

Everyone wants to qualify to buy higher-level milk tea.

And that is the trap of capital.

Inside the store, a well-off woman showed Chen Yu her payment code and took the opportunity to ask in a low voice, "I'm willing to pay three times the price, could you also sell me the milk tea with the pink paper cup? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, please make an exception."

Beauty assessment requires fairness.

The Metagross AI's rating system is completely insensitive.

To uncover the inside story, we had to start with Chen Yu, who was temporarily working as a cashier.

“If you’re going to be accommodating… could you please go upstairs first? The boxing gym upstairs has what you’re looking for.” Chen Yu lowered his voice even further as he whispered to the wealthy girl.

The girl immediately became curious.

Following Chen Yu's winking and suggestive gestures, she went up the stairs from the back door of the milk tea shop to the second floor.

It didn't take long.
The well-off girl returned to the milk tea shop with a big smile.

Exit through the back door, enter through the back door.

The difference was that the girl had an extra pink milk tea cup in her hand.

With her looks, she shouldn't have been eligible to buy the pink cup milk tea during the promotion, so...

The girl won this milk tea at the boxing gym upstairs.
Free gifts with monthly pass purchase!
The boxing gym officially opens tomorrow, and Su Qingyao's idea is to develop the business in advance to lay the foundation for customer traffic on the opening day.

As long as customers are willing to buy a monthly pass
Su Qingyao then offered them promotional milk tea cups that were one level higher in beauty rating than the Metal Monster's.

To satisfy customers' vanity,

The boxing gym's performance is now guaranteed.

Of course, Su Qingyao's idea wasn't perfect; the flaw was that the evaluation results of the milk tea shop's promotional activities were unfair.

But for a girl who has just turned 18 and is only six months old,
Su Qingyao's social experience and business acumen have indeed improved a lot.

This continued until noon, when the number of customers at the milk tea shop gradually decreased, finally giving them time to rest.

"Great!"

"We sold 700 cups of milk tea in one morning."

"The boxing gym has over fifty monthly members?"

Sitting in a recliner, Chen Yu looked exhausted and sighed, squeezing out the last of her energy.

A boxing gym monthly membership, similar to a fitness card, costs 200 yuan per person for unlimited visits.

Fifty people would cost ten thousand yuan!

This amount of money is by no means small for college students who are on leave from school.

Su Qingyao, who never worried about food or clothing, had no interest in how much money she had.

She just wanted the boxing gym to avoid losing money.

If she loses too much money, it will make Donas unhappy.

Thinking of Donas, Su Qingyao walked to the door and looked towards the northwest of the capital.

She was thinking: Her boyfriend took the Doro to climb the Great Wall. It's noon now, so he should be back soon, right?
Su Qingyao was already eager to share with Donas the fact that the boxing gym could be profitable...

same moment
A few hundred meters away from the milk tea shop on the street,
Pina was soaking wet, covered in mud from head to toe, and the little animal was filthy. At midday, the sun was strong and the temperature was slightly higher, so the dried mud hardened into a crust on her body, like a layer of grayish-brown armor.

Although Pina is equally cute, she inevitably looks rather unkempt at this moment.

Take one step at a time and keep moving forward.
Pina let out a series of panting "heave-ho" sounds.
It was pulling two large, fat carp with all its might.

Two large, plump carp were tightly bound together with thick hemp rope.

It dragged on the ground, making a rustling sound.

The fish's tail twitched occasionally, splashing out specks of mud.

After walking a few steps and sitting down to rest, Pina proudly muttered to herself, "I caught two carp, which should weigh about fifty pounds in total. I'll give them to Doraemon as a gift. Hmm... I hope Doraemon will be at the bubble tea shop today."

After finishing speaking,

Pina stood up again.
It continued to drag the two large carp along.

As they got closer to the milk tea shop, Su Qingyao, who was standing in the sun at the entrance, spotted Pina. At first, she thought she was seeing things.

"Do, doro?"

Su Qingyao called out instinctively.

Because Pina was so dirty, her face was black and covered in mud, Su Qingyao could only identify her by her body shape.

Pina's figure was as chubby and stocky as Doraemon's.
It is indeed relatively easy for someone to mistake it for someone else.

Upon closer inspection, Su Qingyao was surprised to confirm that the anime-style beast approaching was not Doraemon.

Not even doro!

Realizing that the other person also came from the world of anime, Su Qingyao couldn't help but feel excited, her heart filled with both surprise and joy.

Considering that the other party might be timid,

It's also possible that he might be afraid of humans, just like Doraemon was at the beginning?
Su Qingyao tried her best to suppress her emotions and maintain a calm demeanor.

Soon, under Su Qingyao's watchful eye, Pina finally arrived at the entrance of the milk tea shop.

Wipe away the sweat,
Pina sat down on the spot, panting.

It raised its head and met Su Qingyao's eyes.

“You smell like Doraemon. You’re Doraemon’s friend, right? I’ve been watching you for days. You’re the owner of the bubble tea shop, right? This is a drawing Doraemon put in a bottle. The stick figure on it is you, right?” Pina, naturally outgoing, took the initiative to ask three questions, grinning to reveal two small tiger teeth.

Su Qingyao was a little confused by the question.
She never expected that the little guy in front of her would be attracted by the message in a bottle that Doraemon threw into the sea.
Little did he know that he had been observed by Pina for several days.

Adjusting her mindset quickly, Su Qingyao nodded, squatted down in front of Pina, and gently replied, "I am Doro's family member and one of the owners of the milk tea shop. As for the stick figure that Doro drew on the message in a bottle, I think it should be 'Brother Xiaosong', right? He is my boyfriend and Doro's favorite person."

As they spoke,
Su Qingyao waved to her temporary worker classmates.
It means urging the other party to quickly make a cup of milk tea to treat Pina.

The morning was too busy, and no one wanted to work during the rare lunch break. The female student sitting at the counter reluctantly dawdled, and it took her a long time to finally make a classic milk tea.

Chen Yu originally planned to go back to her school dormitory to catch up on sleep.
Just came down from the boxing gym on the second floor.
She was immediately drawn to Pina, who resembled a lump of black coal.
All sleepiness vanished instantly!

Picking up the freshly made milk tea, Chen Yu went to the shop entrance, squatted down next to Su Qingyao, and handed it to Pina.

"Here~"

"Drink it while it's hot."

"What's your name?"

Chen Yu made no attempt to hide her fondness for Pina.

I was thinking about getting a Doro last night, and today a Doro came to my door. What a coincidence.

Afraid that being too enthusiastic would frighten the little one in front of him,
Chen Yu withdrew her fingers, which were about to stroke and poke the other person's belly.
She changed to the gesture from "Please Shake Hands".

Pina, with her straightforward yet composed personality, shook her head to refuse a handshake, and explained while sipping her milk tea, "I went to the river to catch fish this morning, and I'm covered in mud. Don't get your clothes dirty. If you want to shake my hand, wait until I find a tap to wash myself clean, and then we can be friends."

My strength has almost recovered.
Pina stood up.
It looked around, searching for a public restroom nearby.

You can wash your hands at a bubble tea shop, or even take a shower if you want.

The boxing gym on the second floor has shower facilities.

Shower gel, bath towel, shampoo... everything is available.

But before Su Qingyao could invite Pina to the boxing gym,
Upon seeing the public restroom, Pina ran straight across the street.

Just go.

Su Qingyao was not given a chance to speak at all.

With so many cars on the road, even with traffic lights and zebra crossings, it's still quite dangerous for a small animal.

Su Qingyao quickly followed, escorting Pina across the road, while telling her that she could go to the boxing gym to experience a more comfortable bathing environment.

however,
Faced with Su Qingyao's kindness,

Pina calmly and firmly waved her hand in refusal: "I don't have money to pay for a shower. I can just wash in the bathroom. There's clean water in the bathroom tap, and it's free. I usually drink the tap water in the bathroom."

While talking,
Pina jumped onto the sink after entering the bathroom.
It skillfully turned on the tap to fill the water.

Pina didn't need to be taken care of; she quickly washed her body, starting by cleaning the downy hair on her abdomen.

Su Qingyao: "..." Watching Pina take care of herself,

Su Qingyao was momentarily at a loss for words.

The stronger and more sensible a pet is, the more it evokes our sympathy!
I wonder how much hardship Pina endured living in the city.

Taking a shower on such a cold day, don't you feel freezing?
Su Qingyao had never lived in a basement like Huang Musong, nor had she witnessed the scene when she first met Duoluo. She only imagined the hardships Duoluo had endured based on descriptions.

now,

Witnessing Pina suffer firsthand,

They even became accustomed to hardship.
Su Qingyao felt heartbroken watching this, her nose tingled, and she couldn't help but want to cry.

"Hmm... I'll go get you some shower gel and fetch you a bucket of hot water."

"Take your time washing."

"You must wait for me!"

After hurriedly leaving the restroom, Su Qingyao returned to the boxing gym to fetch toiletries for Pina.

Chen Yu stayed behind to accompany Pina.

She was filled with curiosity about this anime-style creature that looked just like Doro.

"What's your name?"

Answer: "Pina."

Question: "Where do you live?"

A: "I used to live with Darren. After I found Doro's message in a bottle, I moved here and am currently living in a small house I built myself by the river."

Question: "Dalian? Dalian, which faces the Weihai Sea across the sea? The Northeast region, so far from the capital, how did you get here?"

A: "I hitched a ride. I heard there was a train carrying goods to the capital, so I jumped into the cargo hold and hitched a ride when the crew wasn't looking."

Q: "That sounds amazing! By the way, you came to find Doraemon because you want to become part of Doraemon's family, like Dorothy and Donas?"

In return, I asked, "Who are Dorothy and Donas? Also, do you know Doraemon and do you know where it is right now?"

During the shower, Pina and Chen Yu exchanged questions and ideas.

The more you understand,

Chen Yuyue likes Pina more.
She really wanted to take Pina home and adopt her!
However, as she learned more, Chen Yu believed that Pina would not want to become a pet.

It's the kind of little guy who likes to be self-reliant.

"If you're looking for Doraemon, you can stay at the milk tea shop tonight. It'll probably come over tomorrow."

"I guess Doraemon is at home right now, but he's far from here. It would take an hour to get there by bus."

"you……"

Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, Pina looked up and said seriously, "I want to go play with it! I caught the two fish this morning, and they'll go bad tomorrow, so it's best to eat them tonight."

"Please write down Doraemon's address for me. I can read, so I can ask for directions and find my way there myself."

"correct!"

"That young lady just now had a very strong Doraemon aura on her."

"She is Doraemon's family, and Doraemon's home is also her home, isn't that right?"

"Could I trouble her to take me home?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a few gusts of autumn wind seeped into the bathroom, making Pina shiver all over.

"Ah...ah...achoo~"

Pina sneezed loudly.

Just then, Su Qingyao returned, carrying a large bucket of warm water.

Seeing the warm water, Pina was incredibly surprised and quickly took a shower while it was still warm.

Shower gel, shampoo, bath towel...

Pina knows how to use them all.

It hardly needs anyone's help to bathe itself.

Seeing Pina's self-reliant appearance, Su Qingyao felt just as heartbroken as before, and the idea of ​​adopting her came to mind!

Su Qingyao noticed that she wanted to speak.
Chen Yu, who was practically her best friend, guessed in advance what she was going to say—

—They're definitely inviting Pina to join the Doro family.

This is not possible!

If even Pina is adopted by Su Qingyao and Huang Musong, when will I ever meet another anime/manga character?
I have to steal it!
Having made up her mind, Chen Yu devised a clever little scheme, suggesting, "Its name is Pina, and it's looking for Doraemon. The boxing gym opens tomorrow, and your boyfriend will definitely be there for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Why don't you have him come tonight?"

"And bring Doraemon along as well."

“My aunt lives nearby, so I’ll take you there tonight. I’ll have her cook fish for you.”

"OK?"

For the final question, Chen Yu leaned closer to Pina, coaxing her into agreeing.

If Pina agrees

Chen Yu was certain that Su Qingyao would never disagree.

When I take Pina to my aunt's house, she'll be more inclined to be adopted by me because of the first impression.

hey~
Chen Yu secretly fantasized...

After washing herself up, Pina picked up a towel to dry herself and shook her head to dry her wheat-colored hair.

"of course can."

"Let's go to Doro's house together and bring it over."

Having completed her cleansing task, Pina stood up straight and faced Su Qingyao, flashing a sincere smile.

When Pina asked Su Qingyao to go to her house to find Doraemon, Su Qingyao felt conflicted, as neither agreeing nor refusing would be appropriate.

Please agree.
Doraemon isn't home at all!

Xiao Song took the Doro members to visit the Badaling Great Wall.

If Chen Yu knew that Huang Musong was deliberately being hands-off, she would inevitably be dissatisfied. It was crucial to keep the truth from Chen Yu; she absolutely could not know.

Therefore,
What should I do?
After careful consideration, Su Qingyao

She decided to take Pina to Aunt Chen Yu's house first.

As for Xiaosong and the Doro guys, we'll head over there after our afternoon sightseeing and meet them at Aunt Chen's house for dinner.

After reviewing the plan, Su Qingyao thought it was feasible, so she encouraged Chen Yu and Pina to take the two carp they were going to eat that night back with them.
-
That day, at 2 PM.

In the mountain farmhouses and orchards near the Badaling Great Wall scenic area
Huang Musong lay on a rocking chair under the sunshade.
He chewed on a blade of grass.
He watched with satisfaction as the Doro teamed up to pick persimmons...

Half an hour ago, Huang Musong received a WeChat message from his girlfriend, telling him that he must get to Chen Yu's aunt's house before dark.

Chen Yu's aunt's home is in the north of the capital city.

It is only an hour's drive from the Badaling Great Wall.

It gets dark at six o'clock in late autumn, leaving three hours to spare, enough for the doro to play a little longer.

Yesterday afternoon I took Dorothy for a walk around the Forbidden City.
This morning I took Donas to climb the Great Wall;
Now it's Doraemon's turn to pick persimmons to his heart's content.

In Doraemon's eyes, persimmons are similar in shape and color to Orunji.

It must taste amazing!
Standing under the tree, Doro held up his sieve hat and aimed at a large, plump persimmon on a branch.

"It's that Kaki Junkichi~"

"Donas, be careful not to fall! Safety first!"

"Doro raised his voice to remind me."

Donas is the best tree climber among the three doro, easily catching cicadas and picking persimmons.

but,
All that could be heard was Doraemon's shout.

Donas couldn't accurately determine which persimmon it wanted.

Because he needed to hold up the straw hat, Doro couldn't distinguish his claws when pointing, and could only gesture with his lips.

Dorothy leans against a tree trunk, looking at her phone.
They discovered that two partners working together were not enough to harvest the persimmons.
He quickly put away his phone and joined in.

Dorothy glanced at Dorothy first, then at Donas, and pointed to the right: "Crawl over here a little, turn your head to the right, and then... yes, yes, yes! That's the persimmon, pick it quickly."

Dorothy quickly made the "stop" gesture to stop Donas from climbing.

After confirming which persimmon it was
Donas broke off the stem.
The heavy persimmons fell freely from mid-air.

"Duang~"

Even though Doraemon was careful enough, he still couldn't avoid being hit on the head by a persimmon.

"Ouch!"

Doro exclaimed in surprise.

A persimmon that's about 80% ripe is soft and droopy; it won't hurt if it hits your head, but the impact of its weight is quite strong.

I was so dizzy from being hit by a persimmon
Doro sat down on the ground with a thud.

He covered his head with both paws and chuckled foolishly.

Once the dizziness subsided, Doro picked up a persimmon with a broken skin and sucked the amber-colored sap from the crack.

Persimmons are at their best when they are 80% ripe.
It tastes even better than when it's fully ripe.

Tasting the sweet persimmon pulp, Doraemon chewed the persimmon seeds with a "crunch crunch" sound, and swayed happily from side to side.

Dorothy was very curious, so she leaned closer to Dorothy and smelled the persimmon.

"Is it sweet?"

"sweet!"

"Is it sour?"

"Not sour."

"Is it tastier than Runji?"

"Ok!"

Eighty-ripe persimmons are only sweet, and their texture and flavor are better than regular oranges. They are definitely better than Oorunji.

The difference is evident simply from the market price.
The money you spend on one pound of persimmons is enough to buy three pounds of oranges.

Even though Orunji has extra emotional value in Doraemon's heart.
It also had to admit that
The persimmons definitely tasted even better than O-Runji's. (End of Chapter)
