Chapter 90: The Unlucky Villain's Lucky Little Sidekick Companion (16)

At this moment, Duan Tianhe didn’t want to round off the numbers.

Xiao San definitely wasn’t mocking him.

"Why did Ah Chu name the dog 'Xiao San?'"

Song Chuyi replied casually, "Numbers are easy to remember: Xiao Yi, Xiao Er, Xiao San, Xiao Si..."

Satisfied, Duan Tianhe smiled, "Ah Chu really comes up with easy-to-remember names."

He thought to himself, "Xiao San definitely wasn’t mocking him."

"Yeah, Xiao San has a bit of a leg injury. Once we’re back at the estate, I’ll treat it."

Duan Tianhe picked up the Shiba Inu, "Ah Chu knows how to treat dogs?"

"I learned how to do it before," Song Chuyi said while busy getting the dogs onto the vehicle. Hearing Duan Tianhe's question, he subconsciously replied, "You have to find something to do to get through the day, right?"

His original meaning was that days without sleep were too hard to bear, so he had to find something to occupy himself.

But Duan Tianhe interpreted it differently.

Ah Chu had to learn these things to survive because life had been tough.

It probably hasn’t been smooth sailing for him; otherwise, he wouldn’t be working as a sidekick.

Fortunately, his first employer was me.

"Now that I’m here," Duan Tianhe said, holding back the Shiba Inu that kept trying to jump toward Song Chuyi, "I’ll stay by your side."

"I can earn a living," Song Chuyi replied.

Although the way I make money isn’t entirely honorable, my earning ability is still there.

Song Chuyi turned to look at him and smiled brightly.

"Okay."

Moving the dogs was a massive task, and they spent the whole day moving all 111 dogs to the large estate.

But this was only the start of their busy routine.

After moving to the estate, the sick ones were treated, and the healthy ones were bathed. After their baths, they all needed vaccinations.

Despite the workload, Song Chuyi found it incredibly rewarding.

The dogs were just too cute, and he could play with them every day!

Compared to his ability to go without sleep, Duan Tianhe, however, was a typical human.

He needed rest, and he eventually succumbed to exhaustion in the early hours of the morning.

To keep him company, Song Chuyi pretended to nap.

Once Duan Tianhe was fast asleep, Song Chuyi resumed bathing the dogs.

The dog dealer was particularly despicable; many of the over one hundred dogs had various injuries.

Although he carefully treated their wounds, it would still take considerable effort to nurse them back to health.

Fortunately, he had plenty of time to care for these dogs gradually.

The only problem was that he was running low on funds.

Song Chuyi remained busy until dawn, and realizing it was getting late, he returned to Duan Tianhe’s side and pretended to have been sleeping.

Hmm… another day of pretending to be human.

With so many dogs at home, Duan Tianhe once again urged Wen Wu to get him some tasks.

Wen Wu had been swamped with the Changhe No.1 salvage operation lately and was now being pressured to take on more tasks by someone who always rested for three months after completing a single task. Frustrated, he assigned all the accumulated tasks to Duan Tianhe.

“Get them done, and get them done quickly.”

“Once you’re done with the tasks, come to me for the payment.”

After sending those two messages, Wen Wu completely forgot about the matter. Given Duan Tianhe's laziness, it would take him at least a year or more to complete those dozen tasks.

However, only half a month later, Duan Tianhe handed all the completed task documentation to him, accompanied by two words: "Send the payment."

Wen Wu: ???

"Did you really finish them?"

"How could someone as unlucky as you finish them?"

Duan Tianhe: "With A'Chu by my side, I’m not unlucky anymore."

"I completed them on my own strength."

Wen Wu found it hard to believe. He knew the difficulty of those tasks better than anyone, which was why he approached Duan Tianhe, who had a touch of the metaphysical.

Duan Tianhe: "Send the payment."

Wen Wu: "..."

"You weren’t this focused on money before."

Duan Tianhe: "I have 111 dogs at home. [Smiling face.jpg]"

Wen Wu: "The money has been transferred to your account. It seems you’re living quite comfortably since you got a companion. Would you be interested in joining our department?"

"You don’t need to give me a cut of the task rewards."

Duan Tianhe didn’t reply to the message.

Wen Wu stared at his phone and shook his head.

They were eager to recruit people like Duan Tianhe, who had a touch of the metaphysical. Unfortunately, he had always declined, and no one knew what was holding him back.

Wen Wu could only check in occasionally, and it seemed this attempt had also failed.

He put his phone away and continued working on the Changhe No.1 project.

Meanwhile, at the manor, Song Chuyi asked nervously, "Did you get the money?"

"Yes," Duan Tianhe replied quietly, "It's 50 million yuan."

"Wow!" Song Chuyi threw himself into Duan Tianhe's arms and vigorously nuzzled against him, "This is amazing!"

Duan Tianhe instinctively wrapped his arms around his waist, which was slender, as if he could fit in one hand. Yet, he still used both arms to hold him in his embrace.

"Now our pups will have food!" Song Chuyi said excitedly, "I've been looking at several types of dog food online and plan to buy them all to try on our boys."

"Also, we need to buy more chicken and beef."

"Since the landlord's fridge isn't big enough, I'm planning to buy two more large ones."

Song Chuyi kept talking, becoming more talkative. However, Duan Tianhe showed no impatience.

These trivial matters symbolized their relationship, as if only through these could they prove they were truly a family.

But even as a family, each had their own little secrets.

For instance, the character "Tian Tian" in the game "Anticipated Love" was something Song Chuyi didn't know about.

He hadn't logged into the game in a long time. Ever since he realized that every card draw resulted in a prophecy, he became too afraid to draw cards.

And now, with over a hundred dogs, he barely had time to play with them, let alone playing games.

Although he wasn't concerned about it, Duan Tianhe had been thinking about this.

So, half a month later, Duan Tianhe brought up the topic of "Anticipated Love" on his own initiative, wanting to reveal the truth to him.

Seeing how eager Duan Tianhe was to play, Song Chuyi took out his phone, opened the game, and muttered, "This time, I won't draw any cards. You do it."

He handed the phone to Duan Tianhe, "You draw."

Duan Tianhe pressed the "draw card" button, and the screen lit up with vibrant colors, quickly displaying a few words.

"SSR Story Card - Confession"

Song Chuyi leaned over and exclaimed softly.

"This story card is called 'Confession.'"

He took the phone from her. "This is intriguing; let me check it out."

He clicked on "Use," and the screen changed shortly.

The characters "A'Chu Chu" and "Tiantian" emerged on a background of a Ferris wheel.

The game rarely included such realistic scenes, and this "Confession" scene marked the first instance of this.
