A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

......

Flower cakes are a signature specialty of Yunnan.

There's a bakery every two steps on the specialty products street, and the whole commercial street is filled with delicious aromas.

The street is lined with glass shop windows, each filled with all kinds of flower cakes, their golden crusts gleaming enticingly in the sunlight.

Gao Tian found the store with the longest queue. There was a faded old photo on the door with the words "Started in 1983" written next to it.

Wow, that's really impressive. It's older than him, a thousand-year-old establishment.

The shop owner is a very neat, chubby, short-haired auntie.

When it was Gao Tian's turn, the aunt behind the counter was so busy that she didn't even look up as she asked, "What flavor do you want?" Her hands were packing the food so fast it was dazzling.

Gao Tian paused, realizing he genuinely didn't know that. The little glutton would definitely eat the roses; would he eat anything else?

"Give me a box of roses, and you can fill the other two as you see fit."

"Oh, you've never had this before?" The aunt looked up at him and smiled. "Alpha, are you buying it for your girlfriend? Then I'll get you three boxes of freshly baked ones, one each of rose, jasmine, and osmanthus. They're our signature flavors. You two can try them when you get home."

She turned around and deftly picked up the steaming hot flower cakes from the baking tray behind her, stuffed them into three takeout boxes, and put them into her tote bag. "They're fresh out of the oven, be careful, they're hot."

Gao Tian scanned the QR code and took the tote bag. "Thank you."

The auntie picked up another paper bag and put two more in his bag: "Young man, don't go yet. I bought a lot, so I'll give you two more for free. Come again next time if you like them!"

The aroma wafted straight into my nose.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Gao Tian took a bite on the spot. The flaky crust crumbled and fell apart, and the rose filling was sweet but not cloying, with a faint floral fragrance.

"Delicious." He gave a thumbs up.

Great, the little glutton should like it.

The auntie laughed heartily. "Handsome young man, would you like to try our Yunnan ham mooncakes? It's a new flavor!"

The meticulously cut mooncake pieces on the tray exuded a savory aroma, and small pieces were served with toothpicks for tasting.

Ham seems to be a major specialty of Yunnan.

Gao Tian took one.

Hmm, northerners have never tried savory mooncakes before. The taste is a bit strange, but the ham is very fragrant and delicious.

"Give me two too." I wonder if the little glutton likes this sweet and salty flavor.

Carrying several bags full of pastries out of the shop, Gao Tian noticed an inconspicuous little cart at the entrance of the alley next door, with a sign that read "Grandma's Potatoes".

There weren't many people in line, but every customer who left looked satisfied as they ate their meal.

Northerners don't know what a potato is. Gao Tian thought it was a kind of taro, but when he went there, he found out it was a baked potato with cheese.

This is yet another calorie bomb that even a glutton would love.

"Since I'm already here..." Gao Tian muttered to himself as he walked over.

Ten minutes later, he walked past every shop window on the commercial street, carrying flower cakes in his left hand and a bowl of soft and creamy roasted potatoes in his right.

What else would a spoiled brat like?

Buy! Buy it all! We're already here! Buy it all!

He walked past a shop window carrying large and small bags.

"?" He suddenly stopped.

What did he see out of the corner of his eye just now? This doesn't seem to be a specialty store.

I went back and met the gaze of a pair of bright blue eyes in the shop window.

Blue eyes: ? What are you looking at?

Gao Tian: "Holy crap, husky blue!"

Surprisingly, a pet shop was mixed in with the specialty products commercial street.

The black and white husky puppy exudes a unique and sharp temperament at first glance.

Its pointed ears stood erect on its head, constantly alert to its surroundings. Its eyes, a deep, dark blue like the Arctic glacier, were profound and carried an innate untamed spirit as it coldly gazed at the sky, its face radiating an arrogant air of "I'm the best in the world."

The dog emperor is here.

Don't even think about doing anything under my nose.

What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a dog emperor ascend the throne?

Hearing Gao Tian's exclamation, it raised its head high, its mouth slightly parted to reveal its still-growing baby teeth, its face clearly saying:

Foolish humans. Nothing special.

Let's bow down to that dog emperor's Mao Mao.

His expression was disdainful yet smug.

It's really hard to find a dog that gives off such a blue-transformed vibe as this little dog. Even the former queen of bugs here would probably wonder if the baby bug had turned into a baby dog. It's handsome with cuteness, and cuteness with an arrogant "I'm the best in the world" attitude.

Still blue eyes.

The Little Dog Emperor.

Gao Tian: This leg really just went in involuntarily.

......

When we finally returned, besides giving Lan lots of treats, we also brought a puppy, its kennel, bowl, food, toys, and toilet.

The villa is empty now, so we're not worried about it destroying the house.

Gao Tian placed its dog bowl and toilet in the corner, filled the feeder, set the daily food and water rations, and then entrusted it to Xiao Ai (the dog's name) to help take care of it.

It's not convenient to bring it to a formal place like a hotel when returning home.

Gao Tian squatted down and looked into its small blue eyes, jokingly saying, "I'll introduce you to your true form in a couple of days."

The husky blue dog looked at him with its smug little eyes: I want to see what kind of family dares to raise me.

It circled the high sky and looked around.

A large villa.

It's empty.

Holy crap, it's so empty.

The blue husky looked up at the sky: "You won't even give me the conditions to destroy the house? Are you even human?"

Gao Tian grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, lifting it like a small airplane, and held it in front of him, threatening it: "Although you are expensive, everything in this house is more expensive than you. If you dare to destroy the house, I'll beat you to death."

The dog seemed to understand.

But the dog disagreed.

The dog looked down at him with its small blue eyes.

"..." It really looks like the baby bug has turned into a puppy. Gao Tian couldn't help but laugh.

He put the puppy down: "Forget it, I doubt you can take it apart anyway."

The furniture hasn't even been bought yet. What kind of materials were used for the basic renovation of Commander-in-Chief Qi's villa? They're not something a small dog's teeth could even scratch.

Gao Tian rubbed it: "You can stay here with Xiao Ai for now. I'll put your dog toys and dog bed in the living room. You can eat by yourself when you're hungry or thirsty. You can run around freely in the whole villa, including the yard outside. I'll come see you again in a few days."

The little dog emperor surveyed the area: "Not bad, this servant is quite generous."

Xiao Ai (Xiaomi's AI assistant) controls the robot vacuum cleaner and plays with it.

The robot vacuum cleaner ran ahead, and the puppy chased after it.

Gao Tian watched for a while, and seeing that they were getting along well, he checked his watch and hurried outside.

It's almost evening.

It takes more than half an hour to fly back to Zhongshan from Yunnan, and about an hour to drive up the mountain from the nature reserve by vehicle.

By the time we got back, it was already dark.

The young emperor must be getting very impatient.

I wonder if I'll wait for him on the terrace the whole time.

Oh, poor baby.

Gao Tian couldn't help but smile again. It felt so good to be loved.

Thousands of lights illuminate homes, and the warmth of human life fills the air.

High above, lights gradually illuminate the land of China. The city lights, when viewed from afar, resemble a cascading galaxy floating on earth.

As dusk settled, cars hurried by, each heading towards what they called home.

He was among them, embarking on his journey home, his chest burning with emotion.

The earth is safe and sound. Among the lights of thousands of homes, there is someone waiting for him. He also has a home, and there is a light shining for him.

Waaah, he's so useless. He wants very little, just this little thing.
