A Young Woman's Heart

"Okay, okay... I'll hold you." To avoid being disturbed later, Mo Xueyao could only hold her in her arms and place her on her lap.

The theme song was playing at that moment, and just the theme song alone was enough to get Mo Xueyao's blood pumping.

The special effects and production quality are absolutely superb!

And unlike other Ultraman, when it lands, the dust on the ground splashes up high, which is really impressive!

"These special effects are at least ten years ahead of our domestic TV dramas," the godfather commented. "Is this the latest Ultraman? It's much better than the ones you've seen before."

"Of course, times are progressing!" Mo Xueyao said proudly.

After the theme song ended, the story began, and even her godfather was completely engrossed in watching it. After all, when Mo Xueyao was a child, the first time she watched Ultraman was in her godfather's house!

"Wow—is this Ultraman?" Yu Jinyu's childish voice rang out in the living room.

"Yes." Mo Xueyao, who was focused on watching the plot, could only spare a little attention to answer her, so her answer was exceptionally concise.

"A red giant! So huge!"

"Uh-huh."

"Sister, the monster has appeared!"

"Yes, they've made their appearance."

"This Ultraman figure feels really heavy, heavier than any I've seen before."

"That's what gives you a sense of power."

Why is this Ultraman named Gaia?

"..."

“Gaia means Goddess of the Earth,” her godfather explained to Mo Xueyao.

"If there's a god of the earth, is there a god of the sea?"

"That should be called Poseidon?" Mo Xueyao wasn't quite sure. She wasn't very familiar with foreign mythology. Although she had read many, she always easily confused gods from different systems.

In the midst of this casual conversation, two episodes of Ultraman were quickly finished. Mo Xueyao was completely unsatisfied, and the feeling of it ending abruptly was really unbearable.

……

Chapter 164 Ice Cream Cold Storage

Less than an hour had passed after two episodes of Ultraman had finished airing.

So her godfather took out a disc and started playing a movie. After it finished, Mo Xueyao lazily curled up on the sofa and played a game console for a while before it was lunchtime again.

"Xiaoyao, Wanyan, Xiaoyu, dinner's ready," the godfather called out as he helped serve the dishes.

"Hey—whoosh—!" Mo Xueyao, who was nestled on the sofa, stretched her legs straight up to the sky, not caring at all that her skirt had flipped up due to gravity and caused her to expose herself. Then she stood up with a somersault. Perhaps because she had been nestled on the sofa for too long, she felt a little dizzy when she stood up.

Li Wanyan caught her in time and gave her a helpless look.

"Hehe, thanks!" Mo Xueyao put the game controller aside and walked to the dining table without any awkwardness, sitting down next to her godfather.

Because Mo Xueyao and Li Wanyan came this morning, my godmother even went out to buy some groceries, making lunch exceptionally plentiful.

There was braised beef, Mo Xueyao's favorite, and braised sea bass, which Li Wanyan ate the most last time.

While drinking beer, the godfather pointed at the dishes with his chopsticks: "Eat, eat, eat. Take whatever you want. Xiaoyao definitely won't be polite. Wanyan, you shouldn't be polite either."

"Okay." Li Wanyan smiled slightly, a little reserved, picked up a piece of fish, and ate it in small bites.

Mo Xueyao is a little more conscious of her image than before, but compared to her, she still appears quite bold, much like a burly man rolling up his sleeves to eat barbecue skewers.

The weather was warm, and Mo Xueyao was covered in sweat. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, helped clear the dishes, and then said goodbye to her godfather and the others with Li Wanyan before leaving.

"Phew—" Mo Xueyao held the CD case in her hand and gently shook her head. "What a beautiful spring day."

"Want to go out for a walk?"

"Then let's forget about it." Mo Xueyao popped a piece of chewing gum into her mouth. "On such a nice day, we should stay home and lazily soak up the sun!"

Li Wanyan raised her eyebrows, somewhat speechless.

Back at the shop entrance, the two saw a white, long-haired dog wandering on the steps in front of the shop.

I don't know if it's a mixed breed or a purebred, but it's definitely not a mongrel.

Its fur is very long, and its color is both yellow and white. It looks like it hasn't been groomed in a long time, and it's so dirty that it looks like it crawled out of a trash can.

Su Tang lay on the back of the now much-grown husky with obvious disgust, completely unwilling to get close.

On the contrary, the husky always tries to get closer to sniff, but of course, it is always stopped by Su Tang's cat paws.

When did Su Tang turn Grandma Jin's husky next door into a mount?

Lost in thought, Mo Xueyao looked at her parents busy in the shop and asked, "Mom and Dad, where did this dog at the door come from?"

"It's probably a stray dog. Stay away from it. It's filthy and full of germs," ​​the mother replied while holding the bag open so the customer could put the fruit inside.

"Someone will take it away later."

"Someone wants to keep it?" Mo Xue looked at the dirty little dog from afar, unable to recognize its breed.

"Yes, the people from the warehouse next door."

"Huh, was that a warehouse next door? I was wondering why there were so few people coming and going every day if it were a factory." Mo Xueyao glanced at the fruit shop.

This is a very large warehouse. The main entrance alone is the size of several fruit shops, and the inside is even more spacious than the entrance. If you haven't been inside, you can't possibly guess how big it is.

There wasn't even a sign at the entrance, so it was impossible to tell what kind of warehouse it was, or if it was a large warehouse where anything could be piled up.

Because there is clearly more than one building inside.

There are already seven or eight buildings of varying heights at a glance.

Most of them have only one or two floors.

"Boss, I'm here!" Just then, a man who was hard to tell whether he was strong or fat walked over and said in Mandarin with a Northeastern accent, "Hey, this little dog is still here. What's it doing here? Can it understand what I just said?"

"What did you just say?" Mo Xueyao hugged Sutang, who was lying on the husky, and asked while stroking its head.

“I’ll have this guy wait for me here.” The bear-like man placed a cardboard box with a 'Häagen-Dazs' advertisement on it in front of the puppy, so it could walk into the box by itself.

"How could it possibly walk in by itself..." Mo Xueyao muttered softly.

"Then it's fate. If it's willing to come with me, I'll raise it. If it's not, then so be it. You can't force a relationship!" The man replied while making 'tsk tsk tsk' sounds to attract the puppy closer.

The puppy didn't wag its tail very hard and wobbled as it crawled into the box.

"Hey, this must be fate!" the man laughed loudly.

"Maybe it wants a home too." Mo Xueyao hugged Su Tang and leaned closer to look, but the latter suddenly broke free from her embrace and jumped back onto the husky, as if getting close to it would contaminate it with the stench.

What name do you plan to give it?

"Let's call her DouDou," the man said casually, picking up the cardboard box. "Hey, little girl, want to come inside and play with me?"

"Is there anything fun inside?"

“Fun? Hmm… not much, but I can treat you to ice cream—” The man shook the puppy in the cardboard box. “As a warehouse manager, I can easily do this little thing.”

"Isn't this embezzlement?" Mo Xueyao muttered under her breath.

"Haha, it's okay. There will definitely be some wear and tear anyway. Besides, I always take the ones that are close to or have just expired."

For adults, it seems perfectly reasonable to use their authority to seek personal gain.

Mo Xueyao scratched her head, wanting to eat ice cream but feeling that doing so was not quite right—her sense of justice was slightly resistant to it.

"Want to come? And do me a favor while you're at it. I'm giving this puppy a bath later, and it's sure to make a fuss."

"I don't want to get bitten."

"It's okay, you just hold the faucet and I'll press the button, okay?"

"Okay, then I'll give it a bath for you." Mo Xueyao found an excuse to go to the warehouse.

To be precise, it should be called a warehouse area.

"Boss, I'm taking your daughter with me!"

"Where are you going?" The father glanced at the two of them.

"Give the puppy a bath, and I'll return it to you in a bit!"

“Okay.” His father, who clearly knew him well, said with confidence.

Besides, although there aren't as many people in the warehouse area as in the factory area, there are still many vehicles and people coming and going during the day, with many people loading and unloading goods.

"Are all these warehouses used to store ice cream?" Mo Xueyao walked into the warehouse area and felt that it was so big that it resembled an independent manor.

“Of course not. There are only a few ice cream warehouses. Different warehouses have different warehouse managers. Other warehouses contain various daily necessities, and some are empty temporary warehouses.” The man continued walking inside. “There are several entrances and exits here. This one is just one that is not frequently used. By the way, just call me Uncle Xiong.”

This is really a name that suits me.

Mo Xueyao thought to herself, "Okay, Uncle Xiong... well, you can just call me Xiaoyao."

After walking a while, Uncle Xiong stopped in front of a two-story building. There was a rubber hose used for watering flowers right at the entrance of the building, which would be perfect for washing the dog.

"DouDou, come here, we're here. Uncle will give you a bath and a haircut. From now on, you're my dog." Uncle Xiong said, picking up DouDou. His movements were a bit rough, but the dog didn't resist. Was it because he sensed that the other party meant no harm?

"Xiaoyao, come here, help me turn on the tap, don't turn it on too high, and then spray it here."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xueyao quickly turned on the faucet, then picked up the end of the hose and aimed it at Dou Dou.

The water pipe made a 'sizzling' sound, and then a small stream of water gushed out from the front of the hose.

DouDou immediately struggled in fear, but Uncle Xiong held her down tightly.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, don't be scared, DouDou. Let me give you a bath. Look how dirty you are. You're not happy about giving me a bath, are you?"

Dou Dou vigorously shook the water off her body, and Mo Xueyao was caught off guard and got splashed with water.

"Oh dear!" She quickly took a few steps back and wiped the water off her face. "Oh no, I need to take a shower today too."

"Haha, I'll treat you to ice cream later to make it up to you!" Uncle Xiong laughed loudly.

So, after a lot of commotion, they finally got DouDou all wet. Uncle Xiong, who was all fat, squeezed out a lot of shampoo and rubbed it all over DouDou. It was unclear whether the latter was too tired, had given up resisting, or both.
