Zhang Zian let Ting Ting and Zhuang know he was leaving. ”I need to head back to the shop. If you plan to adopt a cat, please come over tomorrow, or anytime that works for you, as long as you keep showing up for the month trial.”

They discussed in low voices before they said, ”We'll be here tomorrow.”

”Don't forget to bring your lease if you're renting, or your property ownership certificate if you own a house. We won't make copies, we'll only take down the address.” Zhang Zian emphasized. ”Bring your ID as well. We need it to confirm that the names match the ones on the lease or the ownership certificate.”

Ting Ting and Zhuang nodded, said goodbye, and headed home to prepare.

Some of the others left as well, while some returned to the restaurant to finish their meals. Some people joined the crowd forming in the street.

Almost every Love Lovely Pet employee was dispatched. They were catching pets all over the city, in multiple vehicles, and were asking various people to give the animals back. Some animals were successfully retrieved, but not many.

Zhang Zian stood outside to watch for a while. The self-righteous girl was still arguing with the Love Lovely Pets employees, both parties threatening to expose the other on Weibo. He saw that Old Time Tea and Famous on the platform of the second floor of the shop. Then he signaled the Li couple, returned to the shop, and closed the door.

Famous and Old Time Tea were waiting inside. Zhang Zian saw the poodle puppy on Famous' back right away, as well as the extremely weak female poodle.

The female dog struggled to open its eyes, but when it did, it glared at him.

”What's going on?” He took off the dogs' collars and checked on the female poodle. He wasn't a professional vet, but with the knowledge he had gathered over the years, he was able to deal with minor injuries and diseases. After a quick examination, he didn't find any obvious injuries. It was weak because it was starving, and it had been staying in the cold for a long time. It needed to warm up.

”Try to save it first, the others can wait,” Old Time Tea said.

”Okay.” Zhang Zian took the female poodle to the heater and wrapped its body in a towel.

There was still some beef and potato stew from when he made it for Old Time Tea and Famous earlier today. He went to the kitchen and took the leftovers out of the fridge.

Since the poodle had been starving for a long time, its stomach was probably weak. Eating food that was hard to digest could lead to serious issues. He took out the beef and potatoes, then mixed the broth with rice and microwaved it for a while. Soon, a pot of nutritious and easily digestible beef congee was ready.

He took the beef congee downstairs. All the puppies in the shop all tilted their heads towards the great smell. Even the weak poodle seemed to be energized by the smell.

The poodle puppy lingered around the female. It was reluctant to leave its mother's warmth, but was curious about the world. It smelled the beef congee and licked its lips.

Zhang Zian put the beef congee next to the female's mouth. It opened its eyes, but didn't lift its head. He took a spoon, scooped some of the broth, and brought it to its mouth.
