Chapter 819 - Several Doses of Medicine Each Day (1/2)

“Huh? Why is Broth not here today?” Wu Hai walked around with his big bag, failing to find Broth.

“The weather is quite cold today. Broth is probably in his nest. Let’s go check,” Wu Hai muttered as he walked deeper into the alley.

People rarely enter the alley and this was only Wu Hai’s third time here. Thus, he walked carefully since the ground was wet and slippery.

If he were to slip and was seen by Yuan Zhou, he would probably be laughed to death by Yuan Zhou.

Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was in the middle of the block. Therefore, Wu Hai reached the back door in a short while. With a glance, he saw Broth there.

“Why are you sleeping here instead of your nest?” The first thing Wu Hai saw when he arrived was Broth lying on the green tiles in front of the back door.

“Are you not cold here?” Wu Hai stroked his mustache as he studied Broth’s coat of fur.

When Broth heart footsteps, he lifted his head to look at Wu Hai. When Wu Hai reached him, he rested his head back on his paws again. With his black eyes, he gazed at Yuan Zhou’s back door, completely ignoring Wu Hai.

“Fine. I know you’re not much of a talker,” Wu Hai muttered as he set his bag down on the ground.

Broth raised his head again to take a look. First, he looked at Wu Hai, then he looked at the bag. However, he remained silent and made no sound.

“See this? These are all my souvenirs for you. They are meat jerkies and other stuff. All of them are tasty. Do you like them?” Wu Hai took the contents of the bag out and placed them before Broth.

“I brought these all far away from Guizhou,” Wu Hai started letting Broth know of his hard work lugging all the stuff back.

These meat jerkies were indeed brought back from Guizhou. But in truth, these were all leftovers Zheng Jiawei bought for him.

Initially, Zheng Jiawei had mentioned that if he wanted meat jerkies, he could always buy them in Chengdu since they were not local specialties of Guizhou. But Wu Hai felt like bringing them back from Guizhou would better show his sincerity. Therefore, he brought it along on the flight, even causing his luggage to go overweight.

“Don’t worry. You don’t have to thank me. We are brothers. I will place them all right beside your nest. You can eat them anytime you want,” Wu Hai spoke gently.

When Broth saw the meat jerkies being placed beside his nest, he lifted his head and barked softly.

Broth’s voice was gentle, as if he was thanking Wu Hai.

“You have accepted them? Good. Hey, how about this,” Wu Hai spoke again when he heard Broth’s bark.

“The next time Boss Yuan makes you meat jerkies or cookies, remember to leave some for your Brother Wu. After all, you are Brother Dog and I am Brother Wu. We are family,” Wu Hai persuaded seriously, placing them both on the same generation.

However, he received no response from Broth as Broth was once again staring at the back door.

Of course, Wu Hai did not require any response. He paused slightly before he spoke again, “I will take your silence as your agreement.”

Then, Wu Hai turned and left. He planned to tell Yuan Zhou about this. As far as he was concerned, Broth had already agreed.

Since Broth had agreed, he needed to let Yuan Zhou know.

When Broth heard the footsteps leaving, he turned around and glanced at Wu Hai, his eyes seemingly filled with disdain.

Alas, Wu Hai was not here to see this look of disdain.

“Looks like Broth is very agreeable indeed. Bringing all those meat jerkies from so far away is totally worth it,” Wu Hai walked towards the front door while rubbing his mustache in satisfaction.

Before long, he reached the front entrance. There, apart from Zhou Jia and the pile of presents on the ground, there were only a few other people around.

When Wu Hai looked around, he found that those were all customers of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

“You guys are queuing up so early?” Wu Hai asked solemnly. As far as he was concerned, they were trying to challenge him to be the first to enter. Therefore, he quickly rushed over.

“Brother Wu, you are back?” Zhou Jia asked, pleasantly surprised.

The other customers left after leaving their presents when they saw that Zhou Jia was talking to Wu Hai.

“Um, I’m back. So has the queue started?” Wu Hai asked.

“No. Boss Yuan is sick. The restaurant is closed today,” Zhou Jia said, worry on her face.
