The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

A family meal together, happy times always seem too short, and it was already 2 pm when we finished eating.

Fortunately, Su Qingyao's family has a dishwasher, so even though the tap water is icy cold in winter, she doesn't need to wash the dishes herself.

After the meal, there is a half-hour dessert time.

The doro members sat around the coffee table, enjoying the black and green tea that Sister Su had personally brewed...

Considering that the folk music ensemble's performance would end very late tonight, Huang Musong asked the four little ones to take a nap as soon as possible, even if they didn't feel sleepy, they had to lie down and close their eyes.

They don't get up until 11 a.m., and then they need to take a nap at 3 p.m., so the doro can't sleep at all.

I lay there in a daze until the sun began to set.
Huang Musong finally led the team to set off.

Inside the car, Donas was the most restless, jumping up and down from the passenger seat to the back, then folding down the back seat and crawling into the trunk.

Exhausted and panting, Donas was covered in sweat and finally calmed down.

Slowly wiping the sweat from her forehead, Donas lay down, occupying half of the back row of seats, yawning lazily, and squeezing out two tears from the corners of her eyes.

Huang Musong could see Donas's every move through the mirror.

At first, he only thought Donas was naughty and naturally lively and active.

Later, it was gradually discovered that Doraemon, Dorothy, and even Pina were showing strange signs of restlessness.
Huang Musong vaguely realized that something was wrong.

"Aren't you guys too hot?"

"I'll turn off the heater and open each of the four windows a crack. That should help, right?" As he spoke, Huang Musong even slightly opened the sunroof to make the temperature inside the car almost the same as the outside temperature.

A cool breeze swept over her face, and Donas closed her eyes contentedly, letting out soft, humming sounds of enjoyment.

Dorothy, Pina, and Doraemon also felt much better.

It was really hot just now!

The downy fur on their bodies is roughly equivalent to, or even warmer than, a down jacket, and the thick downy fur helps the Doro withstand the cold.

Correspondingly, once in a place that is too warm, the whole body will feel extremely hot.

14°C is the highest temperature that the Doro can currently withstand.
Even a 1°C increase would make it uncomfortable.

Feeling more comfortable, Doraemon hummed contentedly for a moment, then suddenly realized something and hurriedly climbed into the passenger seat and snuggled into Su Qingyao's arms, his movements clumsy and awkward.

"Are you cold, Sister Su? Doro is warm, Doro will hug you, hee hee~." While saying this, Doro hugged Su Qingyao's waist, pressing his little belly tightly against her abdomen to transfer body heat.

With the four glass windows slightly ajar, Su Qingyao would definitely feel cold, but it was still tolerable.

Now, Doraemon is getting close and hugging me.
Then it won't be cold anymore.

She hugged Doro tightly, then lowered her head to rub her cheeks against it, her voice gentle: "Doro is like a little stove, so warm! Do you want to listen to some music? I'll play some songs. What kind of songs do you want to hear?"

The first half of the sentence was spoken to Doraemon, and the second half was spoken to the other three little ones.

Su Qingyao first played the recommended videos one by one.

After a few songs finished playing, the evening rush hour began in the capital, resulting in traffic jams.

Fortunately, they set off early and were only 3 kilometers away from the Guojia Grand Theatre. Huang Musong decided to find a parking lot in advance and then walk there.

Finally, the car was parked 1.5 kilometers away from the Grand Theatre, and forty minutes was enough to reach the destination.

...

After getting off the vehicle, the doro didn't wear outer clothes, relying only on the fur on their bodies to keep warm.

With temperatures below freezing, the doro thought there was no need to add layers, as being covered in sweat was quite uncomfortable.

Look, the four little ones are holding hands and walking forward.

Huang Musong followed behind, seemingly lost in thought.

The little ones' downy fur is good for keeping warm, but it has its advantages and disadvantages. The downside is that you can't just take it off whenever you want.

It's certainly warm enough outdoors.

The question is, what if it's indoors?
The thicker the fur, the harder it is to dissipate heat, especially in a heated room, which may lead to heatstroke!
Thinking of this, Huang Musong coughed a few times to clear his throat, and then tentatively asked, "Would you like to shave your fur? Shave off the downy hair on your bodies, add wool to make clothes, and wear them whenever you want, take them off whenever you want."

"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just worried that you might be uncomfortable if it's too cold or too hot. If you don't want to shave, I won't force you, it's your own decision."

"Stop staring at me like that..."

Feeling uncomfortable under the wary gazes of both Donas and Pina, Huang Musong tilted his head and whistled to avoid their stares.

Donas's wary look was a furrowed brow;
Pina's wary look was a grimacing expression.

They were clearly resisting!

Dorothy walked to the side, carefully considering the suggestion, and pushed up her glasses to reveal her bright, intelligent eyes.

His pupils were jet black and deep.

The words 'good idea' were faintly written in its eyes.

Anyway, they'll molt again after winter, so it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later; the key is to make them more comfortable.

but……

"I agree to shave! But I absolutely won't let you shave me; I want Sister Su to do it for me." Dorothy looked up and sized up Huang Musong. "Everything else is fine; you're trustworthy. But shaving is the only thing I can't do. You have a history of that!"

His tone and expression were extremely serious.
Dorothy raised her little hand and pointed at Dorothy's head as she finished speaking.

It still remembers that half a year ago, in the summer, a man (Huang Musong) took Duoluo to the barbershop and shaved his head bald.

The purpose was to prevent Doroe from getting too hot due to her long hair in the higher-altitude Montreal province.
Dorothy didn't care about the reasons.

Anyway, it doesn't want to become a hairless doro with a completely bald body!

Let Sister Su help me shave; at least she's more trustworthy, and we can discuss leaving half a centimeter of downy hair for me...

First, he was wary of Donas and Pina, and now he is on guard against Dorothy. Huang Musong sighed helplessly.

Ask yourself,

I'm very nice to the Doro.
Doro fans don't need to treat me like a bad guy, right?
Yes! They didn't really see me as a bad guy, they just didn't trust me enough when it came to shaving.

Huang Musong pondered, then turned his gaze to Doro, wondering if it was also wary of him.

Noticing that someone was watching, Doro curled up the corners of her mouth and cheerfully took his hand.

"People~"

"I'm sorry to trouble you with shaving again!"

"Sister Su helped Dorothy shave her hair, can someone shave mine too?"

Doro blinked his big, bright eyes, his adorable face filled with absolute trust in Huang Musong.

Huang Musong was deeply moved!

I have never done anything to harm the Doro.

It has to be Doraemon who understands me the most.

“Okay!” Huang Musong nodded vigorously. “I’ll go out and buy a hair clipper tomorrow. It comes with a standard caliper. I’ll choose the model of caliper that corresponds to the length of the hair I need.”

"Oh?"

"We've arrived at the Grand Theatre."

While they were talking, Huang Musong was stopped by several plainclothes police officers who checked his identity and showed him relevant documents.

The doro have their own professional pet retirement certificates.

Pina hadn't obtained the necessary permits yet, but the plainclothes officers didn't make a fuss and let her through.

Upon arriving at the Grand Theater and searching for his seat, Huang Musong was surprised to find that his seat was right next to Wan Lijun, the principal of **High School.

The tickets that Wan Lijun gave him were for a row of ten seats.
There are 12 seats in a row.
Wan Lijun's partner was on the other side of his seat.

At this moment, Wan Lijun was unsmiling, his expression as hard as a piece of wood.

"Comrade Xiao Huang, I didn't expect you and Miss Lü to be friends. I've never heard you mention it before. Hmm... the performance is about to start, so I won't chat any longer. Tsk... excuse me for a moment." Wan Lijun's words were concise and forceful, each word carrying weight, entirely in the official tone of a meeting.

As the conversation was drawing to a close, Wan Lijun's phone popped up with a message asking him to go to the back office to handle an emergency.

Huang Musong does not have a habit of peeping at screens.

But I still managed to catch a glimpse of the general content.

It seems that a student from the **Middle School Folk Music Ensemble had an argument with a guest instructor specializing in musical instruments backstage.

With the performance about to begin,

Wan Lijun must handle this personally.

After seeing the other party off, Huang Musong smiled at Wan Lijun's lover and helped the doro members to their seats one by one.

Doraemon is the most obedient
It obediently chose to sit on the other side of the person.

Dorothy is quite well-behaved.
It sat on the other side of Doraemon, took out its phone and started reading to pass the time while waiting for the band's performance to begin.

Donas, on the other hand, seemed a bit more mischievous.
As soon as it sat down, it started playing around with Pina, poking each other's backs.

Pina: "Donas, what are you doing?"

Donas: "Hehe~ I didn't do anything!" Pina: "Still saying you didn't do anything? Don't tickle my waist with your hands."

Donas: "It's a misunderstanding! I just noticed the downy hair around your waist was a bit messy, so I was just smoothing it out for you."

These two little guys are quite a handful.

Huang Musong quickly made a shushing gesture, flicked Donas on the head, and told it to stop teasing Pina.

Donas is purely playful and mischievous, but not a bad person.

Realizing that it was too quiet around them,

It immediately shut its mouth.
They also patiently waited for the folk music troupe's performance to begin.

After settling Donas in, Huang Musong breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to rest for a while.

however!
Before he could even sit down properly,
Long-lost fragments of memory suddenly appeared in my mind...

[Excerpt 1: Due to the unethical behavior of the folk music instructor hired by **Middle School, who bullies Lu Zi'ang, a student specializing in the bamboo flute, Lu Zi'ang resolutely decides to boycott the performance. The ensemble piece "The Burial of Flowers" will face problems due to Lu Zi'ang's boycott, and no one can perform the solo section on the xiao (vertical bamboo flute). Therefore, you suggest that Duoluo step onto the stage and temporarily perform the piece for Lu Zi'ang. To complete the solo section, Duoluo obtains a new prop - the Doro xiao.]

[Excerpt 2: Due to the unethical nature of the folk music instructor hired by **Middle School… you suggest that Dorothy step on stage to temporarily replace Lu Zi'ang in completing the piece. To complete the solo selection, Dorothy obtains a new prop – the Doro xiao (vertical bamboo flute).]

[Excerpt 3: Because... you suggested Donas go on stage... Donas obtained a new prop - the Doro flute.]

[Scene 4: Because... you suggested Pina go on stage... Pina obtained a new prop - the Doro flute.]

Lu Zi'ang, a completely unfamiliar name, I've never even heard of him.

Based on fragmented memories, Lu Ziang should be a member of the **Middle School Folk Music Ensemble, and his age is estimated to be not too old.

Maybe not from high school.
They are most likely students from the junior high school section.

Because high school students are almost all over 15 years old, which is the stage where their tempers are most volatile.

Who would dare to bully a naive young man for no reason?

Ok……

Putting Lu Ziang aside for now, let's get back to the main topic: which cutie should I help get the new item this time?
Huang Musong rested his chin on his right hand, adopting a pensive posture, hesitant.

After several minutes of contemplation.
Decided!
"Let Pina have the Doro flute."

Huang Musong pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Pina, preparing to urge her to go on stage and save the day.

But just as he was about to speak,

Chen Yu and Shu Chu entered the theater as a group.

"Hey? Isn't this Pina? Has the little chubby boy stopped getting fatter?" Chen Yu sat down with a grin, leaning over Su Qingyao and teasing Pina.

Pina is not fat.

It has a stocky build.
Using "strong" to describe it would be more appropriate.

When teased about being 'fat,' Pina wasn't angry. She just laughed and explained, "No, it's not! You see, my fur is just fluffier, so I look fatter than the Doro. Actually, I'm similar in build to Donas, and I'm perfectly healthy~."

Raise your arm to show your biceps.
Pina demonstrated the various fitness poses she had just learned to Chen Yu.

From "Devil's Horns" to "Son of Zeus," Pina's movements are very standard, but they look a bit comical.

"I know you are healthy."

"Here you go, I bought four bottles of hot milk. Drink more hot drinks when it's cold." Chen Yu took the bottles out of his clothes and handed them to Pina, Donas, Dorothy, and Doraemon.

Milk is a good thing!

Doromen love to drink it.

The four little ones drank heartily and happily at every meal.

Warm milk is both comforting and not too hot to drink.

Just ...

I need to go to the toilet after drinking too much.

Feeling the urge to urinate, Donas jumped off her seat to find the restroom.

Huang Musong immediately got up and followed.
Lü Meiqi, however, allowed Donas to pass through while blocking Huang Musong.

"Let Yao Yao take the little ones to the restroom. Shu Chu and Sister Chen Yu just arrived, they should also go, right?" Lu Meiqi's smile was faint, her words implying that she needed time to speak with Huang Musong alone to discuss some official business.

Huang Musong understood that she wanted to formally discuss the matter of "transferring burned fruit and frostbitten fruit".

Nodding, Huang Musong winked at his girlfriend, signaling her to help take care of the doro.

Huang Musong stayed behind to negotiate with Lü Meiqi...

Not long after, the Doro members emerged from the restroom, intending to return to the theater.

Three rows of ro ​​form a line, and four rows of ro ​​form a column.

The little ones walked close to the wall.

They politely leave enough space for passersby.

Because the theater was large enough, echoes came from the backstage area, and the doro's excellent hearing allowed them to clearly distinguish that someone was arguing.

"A familiar voice!"

"Who is Uncle Wan criticizing?"

"This is the first time I've ever heard Uncle Wan lose his temper..."

Dorothy, Doraemon, and Donas spoke at the same time.

If Uncle Wan is criticizing someone, that person will definitely feel down and should be comforted!
Dorothy looked at Doraemon, Doraemon looked at Donas, and Donas looked at Pina.

They resolutely followed the sound.

Su Qingyao wanted to warn the doro not to run around, but the doro walked fast, so she, Chen Yu, and Shu Chu could only jog to catch up.

In a short while
At a certain corner, Dorothy, Dorothy, Donas, and Pina peeked out to watch and eavesdrop on Wan Lijun reprimanding a young boy.

The boy, 14 years old, is named Lu Zi'ang.

He is the character from the memory fragments that appear in Huang Musong's mind.

Lu Zi'ang's face was flushed, and his eyes were red and swollen, filled with angry tears.

It's not fear!
It's not even about admitting fault!

His tears were a symbol of rebellion, a result of an adrenaline rush.

"You said it was Teacher Wei's fault, so why should I back down? Last time, that dog Wei tricked me, and now he wants to do it again? I'm quitting the show and the troupe! I've already been wronged once, I've had enough..." Lu Zi'ang shouted more and more agitated, his hands clenched into fists and trembling uncontrollably. In the end, he simply turned red in the face and cursed, shouting hysterically.

Even the Doro could see it.

The human boy in front of me must have suffered a tremendous injustice.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen into a near-manic state.

"What exactly happened?" Doro frowned slightly, his eyes filled with pity, and muttered to himself.

Donas and Pina haven't fully grasped the situation yet.

Clever Dorothy was able to guess pretty accurately.

Lowering her voice, Dorothy explained to her companions as if reciting a narration: "In orchestral performances, there is a performance called 'Solo,' which refers to a performance where only one person plays the lead role during a certain stage of the orchestra's performance. This guy has lead roles, probably quite a few, but it seems that someone named 'Teacher Wei' has outmaneuvered him."

"If I'm not mistaken, Teacher Wei arranged for another guy to perform the solo in place of this guy, but the band conductor was unaware of this. As it turned out, when the guy went on stage, no one actually replaced him as Teacher Wei had said."

"You know what I mean? Because the guy thinks someone else will take his place, he will miss the right moment to play his solo, which will cause big problems with the whole band's repertoire."

“The young man made a major mistake without the commander’s knowledge. He will definitely be held accountable after he leaves office.”

"However, Teacher Wei vehemently denied ever saying that he would 'let another guy replace this guy to perform a solo'."

"Let this young man take the blame!"

"He was wronged last time, and now he's going to be bullied again, so he..."

After listening to Dorothy's detailed explanation, Dorothy, Pina, and Donas nodded slowly, all feeling indignant on behalf of the young man named Lu Ziang.

Doraemon: "That Teacher Wei is a bad guy!"

Donas: "Who says otherwise?"

Pina: "However, no matter how bad Teacher Wei is, Xiao Ge shouldn't have stopped performing. If he stopped performing, no one could replace him for a solo, and the normal performance would be a disaster."

Pina has a point.

The fans fell silent, feeling that the young man should not be afraid of power and should resist bullying, but also feeling that his strike was a sign of disunity.

What a contradiction...

Dorothy, Donas, and even Dorothy all felt their heads were in a mess at that moment.

Only Pina remained conscious.
Its gaze was resolute.
They also clearly believed that resisting bullying should not involve extreme methods such as boycotting performances.

They should at least be responsible for the other students who performed on stage!

With these thoughts in mind, Pina decisively stepped forward and strode confidently toward Wanli Army and Lu Zi'ang. (End of Chapter)
