Baked Buns
Sun Hu did not express his doubts and instead showed a polite smile. After a slight nod, he introduced himself, “I see. By the way, my name is Sun Hu, and I’m Jing Mo’s manager.”
After they got acquainted, Sun Hu did not disturb Xia Xin’s dog-walking and made way for her to pass.
Once Xia Xin left, Sun Hu immediately took out his phone. He had initially wanted to message Jing Mo and ask him about this situation, but he thought this was a rare opportunity.
Sun Hu wanted to bring up the matter in front of Jing Mo and see how he would react because Sun Hu was fed up with Jing Mo’s poker face.
…
For the next few days, Xia Xin’s dog walking went smoothly. Aside from Bobo being lively and running around a lot, pulling her along, there were no unbearable issues.
However, something interesting happened during one of their walks.
On the second day of dog walking, Xia Xin decided to change the route to see some new scenery, so she took a different path. Along that road, there were many food stalls, and among them was one selling baked buns. The business was booming, and the buns were generously filled and crispy.
When Xia Xin brought the two dogs to the baked buns stall, Layle stopped in its tracks and gazed at the buns.
Xia Xin stopped as well and used her eyes to ask Layle if it wanted to taste a bun. She received an affirmative response.
Xia Xin bought a bun for Layle and was about to continue walking with the two dogs. However, her other dog’s leash was stuck suddenly. She saw Bobo staring at the bun in Layle’s mouth, then looking at the bun stall, and finally directing its gaze at Xia Xin. Its eyes clearly showed grievance and dissatisfaction saying, “Aren’t you getting one for me?”
Xia Xin was speechless. With Jing Mo’s financial situation, Bobo must usually eat the best dog food. She could not understand how Bobo suddenly was tempted by the bun Layle was eating.
But Xia Xin could not ignore Bobo’s eyes, so she ended up buying another bun for it.
The bun stall owner looked at Xia Xin, who had just bought two buns for her dogs, with a complicated expression.
Realizing something, Xia Xin bought herself another bun, took a bite, and praised, “Boss, your buns are delicious!”
Seeing the bun stall owner relax, Xia Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
So, with one person and two dogs each enjoying their bun, they continued walking.
Xia Xin thought that the matter would end there. However, on the third day, when she took Bobo and Layle out, Bobo insisted on going to the bun stall, tugging on the leash.
Xia Xin was shocked and thought, ‘Is that for real? Bobo has fallen in love with buns?’
Jing Mo had told Xia Xin that Bobo was quite picky when it came to food.
Helpless, Xia Xin took Bobo and Layle to the bun stall again and bought three buns this time.
The stall owner was much more enthusiastic this time, thinking that both Xia Xin and her dogs could not resist the charm of his buns. He kindly selected the three best-baked buns for Xia Xin.
While it was not a big deal that Bobo had taken a liking to the buns from this stall, Xia Xin suddenly thought of something, ‘I had only agreed to walk Jing Mo’s dog for a week. After that, if Bobo still wanted buns, what would he do? Should I ask the owner to personally deliver the buns to Jing Mo’s house?’
But Xia Xin had already asked, and the stall owner did not offer delivery services. To eat the buns, one had to come to the shop personally.
With a glimmer of hope, Xia Xin hoped that Bobo would forget the taste of the buns after a week and fall in love with its various imported and precious dog food again.
A week passed, and Xia Xin completed her task. Jing Mo even sent her a message to thank her for her help over these past few days.
Xia Xin thought that the matter was over and that she and Jing Mo would probably have no further interactions.
However, to her surprise, after the night without walking Bobo, she received a message from Jing Mo the next morning, [Sorry, Bobo was acting strangely last night. It refused to eat anything and kept looking towards the door. What’s wrong with it?]
After seeing that message, Xia Xin was shocked and felt helpless and guilty. She had kindly helped Jing Mo walk his dog, but she did not expect that it would lead to such an issue.
Xia Xin speculated that Bobo probably wanted the buns. After all, it had eaten them continuously for several days and seemed to like them.
Feeling somewhat guilty, Xia Xin replied to Jing Mo’s message, [When I took it out before, it wanted to eat the buns from Vernicia Street. I bought some for it, and it ate them for several days. Could it be… it still wants more?”
