Pet King

Little celery had been going to school alone for about two weeks. She went back and forth every day. She was familiar with the nearby streets and even knew which traffic light had a longer green light and which one was shorter. However, the same road always had different people. She went out at a fixed time every day. The others seemed to be early and late. She saw different faces every day, all of whom were strangers. Only the middle-aged couple in the Pet Shop could be considered … Familiar.

Except for the breakfast stalls, the other shop owners on the street seemed to be lazy. When little celery ran past them in the morning, they all closed their doors, but when she returned home in the afternoon, they all opened their doors. After all, Binhai city was not a big city with a fast pace of life.

This pet shop was also an exception. Every time little celery ran past the shop, she would take a look inside. There were only a few customers, but the two people in the shop always seemed to have endless work to do. They were busy all the time, and it was not easy to see them idle.

Her observation skills were very detailed, so she could draw an accurate route map. She also observed the Pet Shop and the owner couple with such detailed observation skills, subconsciously drawing them out of the category of “strangers.”

Little celery stopped when the middle-aged woman handed her a tissue, but she didn’t take it. Instead, she shook her head and said,””Thank you, Auntie. Mom doesn’t allow me to take other people’s things.”

After saying that, she continued to run.

Even though she did not take the tissue, this was the first complete sentence she said to them.

The next day.

Little celery told her mother and prepared a tissue to wipe her sweat. Because little celery was very lively and active, her mother didn’t think it was strange.

When she passed by the Pet Shop, she unconsciously slowed down and habitually sneaked a glance to the right.

Habits were just that scary.

“Where did he go?”

“Catch it!”

“I just jumped past you!”

The middle-aged woman was not standing in front of the Pet Shop today. The Pet Shop was in a mess. The couple was walking around, staring at the floor and half-bending, as if they were looking for something or playing games.

“Aiyo! “My old back …” The middle-aged man’s face was twisted as he hit the back of his waist and gasped.

“Quick, close the door first, don’t let it run out!” The middle-aged woman urged.

Children were always as curious as cats, and little celery was no exception. She looked at the store in confusion and couldn’t help but take a few steps closer, and for a moment, she was fascinated. She left the house early and had been running all the way. There was still a long time before class started, so she had plenty of time to watch the fun.

At this moment, a furry little guy suddenly jumped out of the shop. The fur on its body was wet, and its two long and soft ears drooped down. Its three-petal mouth was half open, revealing two front teeth, looking very cute.

This thing was similar to the rabbits little celery saw in cartoons, but it was not exactly the same. The rabbits in cartoons had straight ears, but this little guy’s ears were soft.

In any case, this little fellow had nothing to do with the word ‘fierce’.

Little celery and it stared at each other. She seemed to be blocking its escape route.

“Don’t let it escape!” The middle-aged couple in the shop called out.

The two of them were old, and their legs were not as agile as when they were young. In addition, the shop had just mopped the floor, and the floor was slippery. They did not dare to run, in case they fell.

“Hey!”

Little celery assumed the posture of an Eagle catching a chick, her arms wide open, and her feet in a horse stance, blocking the way even more.

The teacher said in school that a good child should be happy to help others. This should be considered helping others, right?

The furry and wet little thing saw that it couldn’t run away in a straight line, so it could only jump to the side. But when it jumped, little celery also moved to the side.

It seemed to be very timid. After its path was blocked, it wanted to stop its body in an emergency. As a result, it accidentally stepped on the stairs and rolled down. Because its front legs were short and its back legs were long, it was not good at walking up the stairs.

Little celery was the closest to it, so she was very agile. She rushed up and held it down with both hands.

“I’ve caught it!” She shouted excitedly.

At this time, the owner couple also ran out of the shop and said happily,””Thank you, little friend. I almost let the rabbit Run away!”

Being able to help others and be thanked, little celery was very happy. She laughed and said,””You’re welcome. This is what I should do!”

The man picked up the rabbit.

Little celery stared at it and asked curiously,””What kind of rabbit is this?”

“A lop-eared rabbit. Have you never seen it before?” The middle-aged woman wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Little celery blinked her eyes, trying to digest this strange name,”lop-eared rabbit …”

“This little guy is usually kept in a cage, but the cage is relatively small, so we let it out every day to move around. The weather is not very cool now, and its fur is thick. We were about to give it a bath, but it saw an opening and jumped out of the bathtub, causing us to chase after it …” The middle-aged woman explained what had happened.

Little celery was fascinated by the story, and it was interesting to imagine it.

The man went back to the shop with the lop-eared rabbit in his arms, and little celery’s eyes followed the rabbit in his arms reluctantly.

“Do you want to go into the shop and take a look?” The middle-aged woman noticed her gaze and pursed her lips into a smile. The child’s thoughts were too easy to guess. It was practically written on his face. Thus, she pointed at the shop and invited her.

“No, no, I’m going to school.”

Little celery waved her hands in a panic and ran away. She really wanted to see it, and it was still early for class, but …

After school that day, she revised the route map again. She erased the cat head sign of the Pet Shop and replaced it with a rabbit head. At first, she drew the rabbit ears as soft, but she found that her drawing skills were too poor. The rabbit she drew this way was ugly and didn’t look like a rabbit at all, so she changed it to regular rabbit ears.

During dinner, she told her mother about the interesting things that happened at school during the day as usual. As she ate, she suddenly said,””Mom, have you ever seen a lop-eared rabbit?”

“No, is that a kind of rabbit?”

Her mother replied casually. From the beginning of dinner, she seemed a little absent-minded. Every time she was busy with work, she would always be like this. She had to be like this. She ate dinner with her mouth, but her heart was thinking about work, because if she didn’t work, she wouldn’t have any food to eat. And every time this happened, little celery would observe her and wisely not bother her with small things.

“Yes.”

Little celery didn’t continue. After dinner, she went to help her mother wash the dishes, and then went back to her room to do her homework.

Her mother tidied up the kitchen utensils and returned to her room to work until it was very late.

When little celery was sleeping, she found a long white rabbit fur on her clothes and dreamed of the lop-eared rabbit at night.
