Shimmer Forest

Wu Hao covered his nose in pain and squatted in the corner. Only Uncle Wu sighed and cared for him while patting him on the shoulder.

But Su Jingran completely ignored the two of them, gently stroking A Hua's head, and said softly: "This dog is very old, and is no longer so lively and cute. It will become lazy and lethargic. Everyday feeding and walking They all need to be looked after. And it's handicapped, weak, and probably won't live long—"

A trace of inexplicable emotion gradually diffused in his eyes. He paused for a moment, then looked at Su Jin who was listening quietly, and asked seriously: "That's it, do you still want to raise it?"

In a trance, Su Jin noticed doubts and worries from his more serious and gentle tone than usual.He knows that his father is a seemingly casual person, but he is very responsible and cautious in dealing with any life.So Su Jin also looked back at him seriously, and replied word by word: "Yes, I want to raise it."

As if he got a satisfactory answer, Su smiled knowingly, stood up and stretched his waist: "There are still a lot of things to prepare, such as dog food, flea liquid and dog leashes."

He turned his head to look at Uncle Wu who was caring about his son in the corner, and returned to his usual lazy look: "Let's go, go shopping."

"Do you want me to pay again?" Uncle Wu stared at him with a fierce look in his rare eyes.

"Ah——" Su Jingran turned a blind eye to this, but just beat his waist with his hands, and deliberately elongated his tone: "My waist hurts———"

Uncle Wu rushed forward and stopped him before he finished speaking.He supported Su Jingran's neck with his arm, and tightly covered Su Jingran's mouth with the other hand. He faced the two children with a flushed face, and said incoherently in a panic: "Oh, everyone is a friend. It's the right thing to pay for this little money." Let's go shopping now, you have to play obediently and don't run around hahaha."

Throwing down a sentence without any punctuation, Uncle Wu drove Su away, leaving Wu Hao and Su Jin looking at each other.

"What's wrong with my dad?" It's rare to see Uncle Wu look so abnormal, Wu Hao couldn't help becoming curious, and asked in the direction they left with a puzzled expression.

And Su Jin just smiled, and patted his shoulder meaningfully: "You are still too young."

So Wu Hao's eyes became more bewildered.

Su Jin never liked to answer his questions, so she naturally changed the subject, squatted down and looked at Ah Hua, who was as dirty as them, and tickled its nose: "It looks like we have to take a bath first gone."

After finishing speaking, he picked up Ah Hua and walked to the bathroom. Wu Hao followed behind him with a smile on his face: "Let's wash together for nerds—"

Before he finished speaking, the bathroom door closed heavily in front of his eyes.He touched the nose that was close to kissing the door, and complained disappointedly: "Cut, stingy."

Sitting idly in front of the bathroom door, the sound of splashing water slowly sounded from the room and gradually became clearer.He looked up at the ceiling, but inexplicably, Su Jin's appearance in the shower appeared in his mind.The dense water vapor covered the thin body, and the fair skin was faintly visible behind the mist.The water splashed down from top to bottom, the wet hair stuck to the face, and the water dripped down the cheeks.The white foam in the palm was applied little by little on the body, exuding a fragrant breath.

"Oops..." The heat spread from the cheeks, staining the dark skin with a rich red.Wu Hao subconsciously covered his nose and buried his head in his knees.

They grew up together, Wu Hao originally thought that he would no longer have any impure thoughts about that familiar body.But at this moment, because of the imagination caused by the gurgling water, the most authentic desire was evoked.He was even a little thankful that the two of them didn't wash together.Otherwise, how would he face Su Jin?

When Su Jingran and Uncle Wu came back, they and the dog had already been washed clean.Ah Hua was sitting on the floor, obediently asking Su Jin to brush his hair.The wet fur was all attached to A'hua's body, revealing her reddish-spotted skin, and those eyes set off against a small and thin face made her look even bigger and fresher, as if she had transformed into a dog.

Su Jingran poured the dog food into his hands, and handed it to A'hua.Ah Hua instinctively stepped back, then hesitantly stepped forward, carefully smelling the dog food, then raised her head, tilted her head and stared at him.

"What's the matter?" Wu Hao thought it was afraid to eat something given by a stranger, so he picked up a piece of dog food and threw it into his mouth without thinking, and chewed it with relish: "This is delicious."

Ah Hua still tilted her head and looked at them, while the other three stared at Wu Hao who was chewing the dog food silently.

"Probably because I've been eating the same things as humans, so I'm not used to this kind of special food." Su Jingran picked up a small piece of dog food and looked at it, then threw it back boringly, and turned his head to look at the dog with the same eyes. Vicious Uncle Wu: "Speaking of which, chef, shouldn't it be time to eat?"

Seeing his playful smile, Uncle Wu clenched his fists so angrily that his joints cracked, but it was not easy to get angry in front of the two children.He felt that he was too spoiled by this brazen rascal, so he kept leading him by the nose.

"It's time to eat." Uncle Wu gritted his teeth and didn't wait for the other party to say anything, he picked up Su Jingran's collar and dragged him slowly to the kitchen: "So come, cook, eat!"

"Hey? Wait!" Su Jingran, who hadn't fully recovered, followed his footsteps and tried to stop him, but Uncle Wu was so angry that he couldn't break free no matter what, and was dragged into the into the house.

There was a loud noise when the kitchen door closed, and then the sound of oil boiling in the pot rang out violently, covering up some strange sounds.

Su Jin raised his eyebrows, he was already familiar with this, and then looked at the bewildered Wu Hao, pointed at the dog food in his hand and asked, "What does it taste like?"

"It's very fragrant, but it's tasteless. It's dry." Wu Hao replied solemnly while thinking about it.

"Is it delicious?" Su Jin looked skeptical, picked up the dog food packaging bag that was placed on the ground, and examined it carefully: "The ingredients include chicken and vitamins...the nutrition is very high, but it is really difficult to mix so many things together. Is it all right?"

"It turns out that there are so many things in the ingredients." Wu Hao leaned over to check the words on the package, and continued to stuff dog food into his mouth, with a puzzled look on his face: "It's strange, how can there be no taste when so many things are mixed together? "

"It's because your sense of taste is out of order." Su Jin gave him a contemptuous look, grabbed a piece of dog food from him unceremoniously, and tasted it carefully: "It's a bit fishy...the taste is really quite bland."

"Let me just say it." Wu Hao stuffed the dog food one by one into his mouth naturally. Although he complained that the taste of the dog food was too bland, the hard and crunchy taste really made people unable to stop.

The two chatted with each other, taking the dog food as a snack by the way, and the topic slowly extended to some trivial and trivial matters.Ah Hua has been listening with her ears upright, looking at the dog food and at them, with her head tilted and her face full of confusion.

Speaking of the excitement, Wu Hao started to dance, and a piece of dog food accidentally fell to the ground.Ah Hua slowly leaned over and smelled it, then slowly picked up the dropped food and chewed it carefully.

The two who were still discussing whether the dog food should be salty or not were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.

When Uncle Wu came out of the kitchen, what he saw was two people and a dog eating dog food with relish.

"...What are you doing..." Uncle Wu's lips twitched, and he helped his forehead helplessly.

"Ah, Dad." Wu Hao turned his head to look at him, his cheeks stuffed with food bulged slightly, and a vague voice came out from the lips and teeth where the debris flew out: "The rice is ready?"

"Uh..." Uncle Wu was stunned, scratched his head in embarrassment, and his eyes wandered: "Not yet..."

"Not yet? I'm almost full." Wu Hao showed him the half-empty bag of dog food, somewhat dissatisfied in his words: "Ah, Su Jing... Where's the bookworm father?"

"St-still cooking inside..." Uncle Wu subconsciously pressed his whole body against the kitchen door, as if trying to hide something: "It should be ready soon, hahahahaha..."

"I think we should just eat dog food." Su Jin licked the food residue on his fingers, with a strange but meaningful smile: "The food they cook...be careful what strange things you eat from it."

"Strange thing?" Wu Hao blinked, but did not understand the meaning of his words.Since childhood, his father has been cooking for the two of them, and he has never eaten anything strange.But if Su Jingran cooks this time... Wu Hao inexplicably imagined the scene of him holding a fish dissected and blood spattered three feet, and he shivered immediately.

Uncle Wu's face turned even redder, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

Seeing Wu Hao's puzzled look, Su Jin stepped forward to bite the food he was holding between his fingers, and slipped his tongue maliciously on his fingertips.Afterwards, he licked his upper lip, looked at the embarrassed Uncle Wu, and said with a smile, "Really?"

Wu Hao's body froze, and he stood up abruptly, unable to see his expression clearly under the shadow.

"Muscular man?" Su Jin looked up at him, the collarbone under the thin shirt looming.

"I, I'm going to the toilet!" The heat spread from his cheeks to his ears, Wu Hao subconsciously covered his face with his arms and fled.

"Hey, hey..." Uncle Wu at the side couldn't stand it any longer, and couldn't help but said, "You... are as wicked as your father..."

"Like a father, like a son." Su Jin licked the residue on his fingers, narrowed his eyes with a smile, and made a pun.

Uncle Wu avoided his sight with guilt, but Su Jin didn't tease him anymore, and reached out to pat Ah Hua's head.Uncle Wu walked over, squatted down and looked at the dog food that had almost bottomed out, and Ah Hua, who was eating with gusto, asked hesitantly, "Is this really delicious?"

"...Do you want to try it?" Su Jin generously handed him the bag with a generous look.

Uncle Wu frowned and thought for a while, then picked up the dog food and took a bite, and said while eating, "Well... it's fishy, ​​bland, and hard... but it's edible?"
