Chapter 716 - Chu Xiaos Phone Call (1/2)

The system completely ignored Yuan Zhou and stayed silent.

“Fine, System. I will forgive you on account of your willingness to be my long term fresh tea leaves supplier,” Yuan Zhou magnanimously declared.

Then, Yuan Zhou picked up his chopsticks and continued eating. After all, there was still half of the Longjing Salad remaining.

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp. Yuan Zhou stuffed his mouth full with food.

While eating, Yuan Zhou wondered what would happen if he told the two old men these tea leaves were actually Pre-Ming Longjing Tea.

Yuan Zhou was in fact quite curious about this. But of course, he was smart enough to not say that. After all, one would never know what others would do when pushed to the brink of insanity.

Half a plate of Longjing Salad wasn’t that huge a serving. Yuan Zhou did not take long to finish it.

“It’s really good. If I’m still feeling sleepy tomorrow, I’ll make another,” Yuan Zhou smacked his lips and said.

Next, Yuan Zhou started cleaning the kitchen. This was his habit. After cooking, he would clean the kitchen.

Although the system would keep the kitchen clean, Yuan Zhou still did this out of habit.

“I wonder if Broth is back,” Yuan Zhou wiped his hands and recalled about Broth.

Creak. Yuan Zhou opened the back door. Broth was there, sitting in front of his bowl.

Broth still looked the same. His coat of fur was ash gray with a tinge of brown mixed within. The fur on its face was longer now, while the color of its eyes was getting deeper as well. The pair of dark purple eyes that looked like a pair of grapes made it seem like a very smart dog.

Naturally, Broth’s size had grown as well. When sitting there, its round belly was quite obvious.

“Look at you. You’re growing fatter. Do you want to join me on my daily jog to lose some weight?” Yuan Zhou seriously said after sizing up Broth.

Broth raised its head to glance at Yuan Zhou before lowering its head to focus at its paws again. It was completely ignoring Yuan Zhou.

“I’m serious, Broth. If you got too fat, your girlfriend might dump you. The Poodle upstairs looks very good, eh?” Yuan Zhou crouched down and spoke with a completely serious expression.

Broth looked to the other side. If a look of contempt could appear on a dog’s face, this was probably the face Broth would be making now.

It was quite a pity that Broth wasn’t a Husky — the king of expressions among dogs.

“Fine, fine. You don’t have to lose weight. But your fur has grown longer. Do you want me to shave them off for you? It’s summer,” Yuan Zhou finally revealed his true reason.

That’s right. The other day, Yuan Zhou saw a Chow-Chow that had its fur shaved clean and was reminded of how he had never shaved Broth’s fur.

“I’m quite skilled in shaving,” Yuan Zhou said with confidence as he recalled how cleanly he had plucked the feathers off the chickens and ducks in the kitchen.

“Woof.” Broth abruptly barked at Yuan Zhou before standing up and leaving.

It was unknown if Broth was being scared off by Yuan Zhou’s thoughts. After all, those chickens and ducks were all slaughtered animals that were going to be cooked as food.

Broth was an arrogant dog that seemed to understand human speech. It was naturally able to see that Yuan Zhou was harboring evil designs from his expression.

“Fine, fine. Forget it if you don’t want to shave. Why are you scaring me by suddenly barking?” Yuan Zhou muttered and stood up.

“Looks like Broth is indeed seeing someone. He’s not even willing to shave,” Yuan Zhou continued muttering.

Yuan Zhou returned to the kitchen and closed the back door. This time, he directly went upstairs to clean up. After all, he had been interacting with Broth earlier.

Nowadays, Yuan Zhou would shower three times per day. Therefore, his shower speed was still quite fast.

Shortly after, he was done. While wiping his hair, he walked towards his room.

Right this moment, his phone rang. “Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling”. It was the same ringtone.

Yuan Zhou picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID. From the phone number, it would seem like the caller was calling from France.

“This number?” Yuan Zhou was doubtful but he still answered the call.
