I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 195

Xu Lin also followed her out, and Bai Xiaoxiao called out to the girl, who turned around and then she pointed to the cage in the girl’s hand.

“I’m sorry, I got a bit excited. My family’s dog went missing. Just saw one that looked very similar. Can I take a look?”

“Where did you find it?” Xu Lin added.

“Near my house.”

The girl replied calmly, but the cage suddenly shook, and the sound of a dog barking came from inside. She placed the cage on the ground.

Opening the cover, they saw a small grayish-yellow dog, a mix resembling a dachshund.

It ran straight towards Bai Xiaoxiao, wagging its tail, and started rubbing against her.

Xu Lin glanced at the patch of gray fur on its head and confirmed it was indeed Bai Xiaoxiao’s dog.

The girl, seeing this, seemed to realize the truth of their words and nodded slightly, looking somewhat crestfallen.

With that, she turned and walked away, and Bai Xiaoxiao hurried to catch up.

“No, you found it, so I should thank you. Plus, you’ve just spent so much on it, we should reimburse you.”

“It’s not much, forget it, little beauty, just let me do you a small favor.”

“No, really, I can’t let you go empty-handed.”

She stopped and handed Bai Xiaoxiao the dog cage.

“If you insist on giving something, put the money on my pet hospital card. Alright, I’m leaving.”

With that, she briskly walked to the bus stop, and a bus arrived just in time for her to board and leave.

“Woof woof!”

“Coco, where did you go running off to? Geez!”

Bai Xiaoxiao crouched down, looked at the dog, reached out as if to pat it, but ended up gently rubbing its head instead.

“That girl left in such a hurry, I wonder what the full story is.”

Xu Lin remarked from the side and remembered the dog had been treated at the pet store; perhaps the doctors there knew something.

“Let’s go inside and ask, even though the dog’s back, the cat is still there.”

“Yeah.”

Bai Xiaoxiao lifted the dog, though not smiling, her previously furrowed brows relaxed, clearly feeling relieved.

Back at the pet hospital, several young women hurried over, their faces questioning what had just happened. They froze momentarily seeing Bai Xiaoxiao holding the dog.

“This dog is ours, we just confirmed it and the girl handed it back to us.”

“I intended to pay her, but she refused, so I came here to inquire about the situation.”

“And to put the money in her account here; we can’t take advantage like this.”

Xu Lin explained briefly, and the woman, slightly older and in a white coat, nodded, beginning to explain.

“Actually, the lady you met, Miss Jiang, is a regular customer here.”

“She started coming when we were just a pet food store.”

“Later, as we expanded, she continued to visit, often bringing in many stray animals—dogs, cats, even birds.”

“About 30 in total, taking back four for herself—two cats, one dog, and a pigeon.”

“This dog she brought in this morning, claiming to have found it near her home.”

“She brought it to us, we checked it, vaccinated it, and she intended to take it back to care for.”

“We didn’t expect you would meet like this, but the original owners can take it back, which should make her happy too.”

The doctor sister smiled as she spoke. Xu Lin could feel the kindness of that fully armed girl just by listening.

After all, most people might have the intention, but helping 30 animals is truly impressive.

“I’ll deposit 4,000 yuan into her card then.” Xu Lin took out a card and handed it over.

“Okay.”

After topping up the card, the two were also getting ready to attend classes and leave the dog here temporarily.

They planned to pick up Coco and the little orange cat after school; pets weren’t allowed in school, for one.

On the other hand, bringing a pet into the classroom meant instantly making it everyone’s pet.

The chaos levels reminded Xu Lin of a time in junior high that was too chaotic.

“Xu Lin, you’ve spent money again.”

“When will you repay me then?”

“After I start college, I’ll get a part-time job.”

“How about working part-time as my wife?”

“Part-time as what?”

“Part-time as my wife.”

“Xu Lin… don’t talk nonsense… are you teasing me?”

“I’m not teasing you, but if you were my wife, you might not be the only one. Would you accept that?”

“?” Bai Xiaoxiao’s mind went blank. What did he mean by ‘not the only one’?

After saying this, Xu Lin also felt he might have been too reckless today.

Although Bai Xiaoxiao was in good spirits today, scaring her wouldn’t be good.

But he had to show some attitude at least; as Lady Strategist Ji Yun said, Bai Xiaoxiao was currently in a state of distress.

Although he had talked to her and adjusted her mood, he had to give her a stable attitude to keep her steady, otherwise, if my senior sister gave up on me and ran away, what would I do?

“Um, Senior Bai, I bought you a phone, and then I gave it to Ji Yun, asking her to pass it on to you. Did she give it to you?”

“I almost forgot to tell you that Sister Ji Yun gave it to me. By the way, why did you spend money on a phone for me? I don’t need a phone.”

“But now everyone uses smartphones. It’s inconvenient not to have one. For example, you can use it to contact me. Have you registered for QQ and WeChat?”

“No, because I don’t have a SIM card. I plan to get one this weekend.”

“Can I accompany you?”

“Sister Ji Yun said she would accompany me.”

“Alright, let her accompany you.” After saying this, Xu Lin also remembered that Liu Qinnuan was supposed to come this week.

But maybe she was just joking, after all, celebrities are very busy, I heard she even has to make up classes and stuff like that.

The two walked into the school, and Xu Lin noticed that eyes were occasionally glancing over here, sometimes looking at him.

He immediately realized and looked at Bai Xiaoxiao. He said how he felt today seemed a bit wrong. Bai Xiaoxiao really turned into ‘Bai’ Xiaoxiao today!

[T/N: Bai=White.]

She actually canceled her dark skin status, although she still hadn’t dressed up, her hair was messy.

But natural beauty can’t be hidden, as the saying goes, a white cover can hide a hundred uglies.

Not to mention that when she had dark skin, her appearance was pretty good, otherwise Brother Huang wouldn’t have been interested in her.

“Why aren’t you in your usual dark skin today?”

“Sister Ji Yun said to be confident, but in the end, I still didn’t dare to style my hair at lunchtime… confidence… let it come slowly.”

“I’m waiting for you to be that little fairy again like that day.”

“Then you’ll have to wait a long time… I’ll go back now, bye.”

“After school, come find me. Let’s go together to bring the little ones home.”

“Okay.” Bai Xiaoxiao parted ways with him and headed towards the teaching building behind.

Xu Lin watched her walk away, her posture more upright than when he first met her, feeling a sense of gratification. She had grown too.
