Forced To Adopt Retired Military Dog Orc Chapter 19
byChapter 19 Chapter 19 Smiling Beast Supermarket Woof woof woof woof…
After getting up, Si Jiu used cold water to wash away the remaining sleepiness and the past in his dream in the bathroom.
He always felt that after moving to the Orc Planet, he was just a very ordinary member of this planet.
There is no need for the past that should not be remembered to appear in dreams.
He looked in the mirror and showed a gentle smile, just like the professional smile he showed to every patient in the nursing home.
Lie Ran was squatting in front of the bathroom door as always. When Si Jiu pushed the door open and walked out, he had already started to wag his tail.
“After breakfast, let’s go to the supermarket in the city center.” Si Jiu raised his hand and patted his head, while Lie Ran followed him.
“Ran Lie, is there anything you want to buy?” Sijiu took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet for dog brand introductions and price references. He also wrote down a list of items he planned to buy in his electronic memo: a new bathtub, towels, dog hair combs, large dog nail clippers, new pillows specially for Ran Lie… and a lot of ingredients to buy.
Considering that the deposit balance in the account is limited and this month’s salary has not yet arrived, every expenditure must be calculated carefully.
“It’s good now.” Ran Lie jumped on the sofa skillfully, waiting for the daily physical therapy before breakfast. His injury was actually only a light gray, but he enjoyed the feeling of leaning on Si Jiu.
Isn’t it enough to have Si Jiu?Need anything else?
The big dog’s hair is short and soft, and there is still a faint smell of last night’s shower gel. If you rub it gently, your mood will feel better, and last night’s dream will slowly disappear——
By the way, the shower gel has run out, so I need to buy another bottle as a spare, or I need to buy a bottle of dog hair conditioner.
While Si Jiu checked Ran Lie’s body to make sure that all his physical signs were normal and that a few scratches from last night had healed, he made a few more notes in his memo.
Breakfast was artificial eggs with toast. Si Jiu also ordered a large bowl of egg noodle soup for Ran Lie. Ran Lie ate more than twice as much as he did.
Watching the big dog work seriously, the last bit of dough at the bottom of the bowl was soon licked clean.Si Jiu couldn’t help but feel that it would be better to prepare more ingredients.
While I was completing the shopping list on my memo, my phone rang. There was a call – it was Jun Qi.
With his ears turned inward and slightly twitching, Ran Lie immediately raised his head from the bowl alertly, his eyes locked on the vibrating cell phone in Si Jiu’s hand.
Si Jiu did not shy away from him and answered the phone naturally. The warm, clear and concerned voice of the Persian cat man was immediately heard from the other side of the phone.
“Sijiu, are you okay? Are you not injured? Why didn’t you go to the hospital with us for a physical checkup last night? The head nurse and I are very worried about you, as well as the director. He said he would call to check on you later.”
Jun Qi’s concern warmed Sijiu’s heart.
“It’s okay, I’m not injured. How are you and the head nurse? Is everything okay?” When Si Jiu spoke, he gave a faint smile, but Ran Lie beside him narrowed his eyes slightly, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes was clearly expressed, and he clearly put on his handsome face.
“Hmm, I have a little scratch on my hand. The head nurse’s injury is completely fine. The doctor even thinks that the large blood stain on her chest was spattered by the assailant. We were discharged from the hospital last night, and the police car took us home.” Jun Qi said so, she couldn’t help lowering her voice, and her tone was filled with sincere admiration, “Si Jiu, you are really amazing. I didn’t expect you to have such a magical ability – you never told me.”
“This is nothing.” Si Jiu chuckled silently, his heart tightened slightly, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Did the police ask me?”
“No, don’t worry, we didn’t say anything to the police, and the head nurse told me privately that the police want to take the credit for catching the murderer. We have to be careful what we say, and don’t mention anything we shouldn’t say. So we didn’t say anything about your treatment for the head nurse, or about Mr. Ran.” Jun Qi’s voice was lowered, as if she and Si Jiu were exchanging mutual secrets.
It was exactly as Sijiu expected, and he breathed a sigh of relief.But he didn’t notice that Ran Lie’s face was getting darker and darker, even though he wasn’t white to begin with.
“By the way, Si Jiu, today and tomorrow are holidays. Do you have any arrangements for tomorrow? I have a blind date, and the other party has brought relatives and friends. Do you want to come with me?” Jun Qi’s voice became brighter, and she was naturally happy when talking about the holiday arrangements.
“Ah, tomorrow – a blind date?” Si Jiu never expected that one day he would receive an invitation from the orc world’s blind date bureau.
But what he didn’t expect was that while he was talking on the phone, he turned his head slightly, and a big, extremely unhappy dog’s face was already close at hand, which startled him slightly, and then——
“Woof woof woof woof! Woof woof woof! Woof woof! Woof woof!” The dog’s barking immediately resounded throughout the apartment, and Ran Lie made sure that the cat on the other side of the phone could hear everything word for word.
——”He’s not available tomorrow! He’s not available today either! Hang up the phone now and don’t call me again in the future!”
After a few seconds of silence on the other side of the phone, Jun Qi’s scream came: “Meow-meow! Meow-meow-meow!”
——“Oh my God, there is a dog——Ah, it’s you, why are you so fierce?!” The translation software is very dedicated, and it not only translated dog language but also cat language for Si Jiu.
“Woof woof woof! Woof -” Ran Lie was about to start a new round of output when his neck was caught by fate. Si Jiu’s hand grabbed the back of his neck.
“Ran Lie, please wait for me on the sofa. I’ll come over to find you after I make the call.” Si Jiu sighed helplessly, his voice soft, but he could not refuse.
Ran Lie watched him turn around and walk to the bathroom nearby, puffing his lips, and walked impatiently back and forth in the living room. He wanted to call a few more times to scare off the Persian cat, but when Si Jiu looked back slightly and the smile disappeared from his eyes, he still held it back angrily.
The big dog jumped on the sofa, looked around, and finally locked his eyes on the velvet yellow duck that Sijiu put back in the sofa’s conspicuous eyes…
Si Jiu closed the bathroom door, and Jun Qi on the phone was also furious: “Si Jiu, that dog of yours is too scary! I was a little grateful to him because of what happened yesterday… Wow, what kind of army officer! He is like an interstellar pirate, a wilderness bandit, so barbaric! I have said before that agreeing to take care of him will affect your choice of mate, don’t you think so? Why should he let you hang up on me? It’s too much…”
It had to be said that Si Jiu agreed with 99% of Jun Qi’s statement, and the other 10% was that maybe Ran Lie would become more savage and more terrifying than the Star Bandits.
In addition, Si Jiu would not think that he would affect his choice of mate, because he had never thought about it in this regard. When Jun Qi proposed a blind date, Si Jiu was inclined to refuse.
But Ran Lie’s rampage made Si Jiu feel a little embarrassed towards Jun Qi, so he comforted his friend for a while, and then after a brief chat, he did not explicitly reject Jun Qi’s invitation.
After hanging up the phone and leaving the bathroom, Si Jiu saw the big dog sitting obediently on the sofa, and he didn’t seem as angry as before.
Si Jiu didn’t pay too much attention. A mature dog should learn to coax himself.
A small incident would not affect today’s plans. Taking advantage of the sunny weather today, Sijiu changed into a light blue casual T-shirt, picked up a large shopping bag, and took Ran Lie out the door.
It was about a 15-minute walk from the apartment to the center of Eldean town. There were more orcs on the holiday streets. Although Ran Lie’s intimidation was still strong, causing many orcs to instinctively avoid him, the strange glances he cast from time to time still made Si Jiu passively become the focus.
The Orc Department Store in the center of the town has a total of nine floors and is located above the Erdean light rail station. It is a landmark building in the town. From here, you can take the suspended light rail train directly to the imperial capital of the Orc Star Empire in about 20 minutes.
The newly opened Smiling Beast Supermarket is on the first floor of the shopping mall. Since it was newly opened, the decoration inside is brand new and gorgeous, and the variety of items is more complete. There is also an endless stream of beastmen coming to shop during the holidays.
Due to the large flow of people in the mall, Si Jiu tried his best to let Ran Lie walk on the side against the wall, while she used her body to separate him from the sight of the orcs coming and going.
The brand-new automatic door of the supermarket slid open, and the bright lights made him squint his eyes slightly. Unexpectedly, Ran Lie was not as excited as ordinary dogs. After going out, he was in a fully armed guard state, following Si Jiu every step of the way, ready to attack and fight at any time.
Otherwise, it would not be in the aura, and the ordinary orc residents would just take the initiative to retreat.
Among the shelves, there were several rabbit and squirrel orcs who were selecting products. When Si Jiu and Ran Lie passed by them, the orcs tensed up instantly, raised their ears alertly, and silently stepped aside.
Si Jiu could clearly feel those glances – the fear and nervousness were directed at Ran Lie, and there was also a trace of imperceptible rejection in them, which was naturally directed at him as a human being.
All I can say is that you just have to get used to it. After all, if you continue to live with Ran Lie, this kind of gaze will become a daily routine.And as a human being, he was no stranger to this kind of rejection.
Sijiu pushed a shopping cart and took a shopping guide from the supermarket. He turned on his mobile phone and started picking items one by one from the list, while asking Ran Lie to help pick up the farther items.
Ran Lie showed extremely high obedience and cooperation here. Si Jiu and him, one commanded and the other executed, a huge supermarket with thousands of products. In just five minutes, the small shopping cart had already piled up into a hill, and Si Jiu’s list was basically completed. I have to admit, it was very efficient.
“Ran Lie, go to the third row of area B and pick up a pillow. Just pick the one you like. This is bought for you.” Cross out another one.
“Woof!” Ran Lie raised his head, took vigorous steps without any hesitation, and ran towards Area B on the right with a clear goal.
Si Jiu suddenly felt happy that things were going smoothly, and he couldn’t help but feel that he should reward the obedient dog with something.
He looked sideways at the shelves next to his shoulder, which were filled with canned dog snacks.
Although this was not on the list, Si Jiu couldn’t help but pick one up and look at the ingredient list carefully, then raised his eyes inadvertently.
At this moment——
The can on the opposite side of the shelf was suddenly removed at the same time, and a slightly dark face was revealed behind the gap.
Under the brown curly hair, those dark brown eyes looked like they were tempered with ice, staring at Si Jiu.
