"So cute," Mi Xiu looked at the small Akita Inu, was first surprised, then shook her head and said, "But I don’t really want to buy it."
"Lady, how come you don’t like it? This is an Akita Inu." The dog trader hurriedly said, "This dog is very sensible."
"It looks like a mongrel to me, I don’t really want that type." Mi Xiu continued shaking her head, "I don’t want a dumb dog, I want a smart dog!"
The dog trader was about to speak, but just at that moment, a voice implicit yet slightly flamboyant came from the side, "Exactly, boss, take a look; this cute girl wants a charming pet, and you found her a mongrel. It’s not that I’m looking down on these dogs, it’s just that they don’t match this cute girl’s vibe!"
Eh? Who is this guy? Coming over to chat up?
Wang Hao and Mi Xiu both turned to look, and saw a man wearing a rather upscale jacket, with shorts below, and sporting a pair of sneakers. Actually, these details weren’t the key point—the most critical aspect was that hanging between his fingers was a Ferrari car key!
Damn, this looks a bit familiar, huh!
Could it be the owner of that Ferrari we defeated before?!
At this time, the dog trader looked embarrassed and said, "I’m really not fooling you guys, this is an Akita Inu, very smart."
"Akita Inu?" The owner of the Ferrari smiled, shaking his head, "Sounds like something you’d find guarding homes in the countryside fields."
Just then, Mi Xiu was live-streaming and happened to capture the man’s car key. The live chat room instantly erupted!
"Aow aow aow, everyone, look at that guy’s hand! The car key!"
"Ferrari, it’s a Ferrari! Could it be that guy who got overtaken?"
"I bet it is! The situation today is just too ironic, talk about enemies on a narrow road!"
"Right, right, brothers, there’s definitely a show to watch soon!"
"233333333333, looks like it’s gonna be fun, hahaha!"
Everyone was thrilled, pulling up their chairs and grabbing their sunflower seeds, just waiting for the drama to unfold!
Indeed, though Brother Hao didn’t see the bullet comments, he definitely wouldn’t disappoint the viewers!
"You don’t know about this, do you?" Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Akita is a city in RB; it produces this type of dog. Originally, it was a dog for guarding homes in villages, but due to its loyal and sensible nature, it became the national dog of RB. This dog’s intelligence is definitely not a problem, very smart. There was once a professor at an RB university who took in a young Akita Inu named Hachiko, and that is a very touching story."
"A story? And a touching one?" The owner of the Ferrari suddenly widened his eyes, "What touching story could a mongrel have?"
"Really?" The dog trader was also curious, "Do you know that, young man? Please tell me about it."
"This story is actually quite famous in RB," Wang Hao said with a smile, "In RB, there was a professor named Parker. One day, he encountered a poor little Akita Inu at a town’s station. Its lonely figure aroused his sympathy. Although his wife strongly opposed it and tried her best to send it away, seeing her husband and daughter’s heartfelt love for it, she finally decided to let it stay as a family member. So, Parker named it Hachiko."
"Hachiko grew up with Parker’s family, slowly turning from a small pup into a large creature. Every day, Hachiko faithfully accompanied Parker to work and would always be at the station entrance punctually at five in the evening to welcome Parker as he finished work. This was their bonding time. To the stationmaster, the hotdog vendor, and the nearby shop owner’s wife, this had become a common sight—they saw everyday Parker calling out that familiar name as he exited the station, and Hachiko excitedly pouncing forward to play, which had become a daily story at the station."
Listening to Wang Hao tell the story, Mi Xiu widened her pretty eyes in surprise, "Really? Is the dog that smart?"
"Yes, it really is very smart." Wang Hao nodded and continued, "Then suddenly one day, before Parker left home, Hachiko, who had never picked up a ball before, did something out of the ordinary and actually carried a ball and placed it in Parker’s hand. Parker was very happy and proud; he didn’t think much about it and just played a bit with Hachiko before going to work. And who would have thought that this goodbye would actually become a final farewell."
"That same day, Parker collapsed while teaching at the university and died from a sudden myocardial infarction, never returning to the station. From then on, every day at five in the evening, Hachiko would come to the train station to wait and gaze. The second day, the third day, from summer to autumn, for nine years, Hachiko remained unchanged until its death. To honor him, RB’s Akita Prefecture specially cast a statue of Hachiko."
At the end of Wang Hao’s story, those present were all a bit moved!
"It’s this big brother who knows the goods," the dog trader remarked, "to even know such a story, and I, who sell dogs, didn’t know it."
"Ah, I just saw it casually," Wang Hao chuckled, "Of course, this is just a story. Buying a dog still depends on what kind you like, fate is very important. Just like my Little Bai, actually, he’s just a stray dog I picked up on the street, and now he’s being well taken care of. The point of my story is just to say that dogs are not as dumb as they seem."
Mi Xiu sniffled and said, "Hachiko truly is so loyal. Indeed, a good dog is a good dog, but I still like the type that’s cute and can cheer people up."
"Didn’t expect you to be an expert," the Ferrari owner finally spoke at that moment, "That story you just told was really touching. My name is Zhao Rongjia, what’s yours?"
"Hello, hello," Wang Hao replied with a chuckle, "My name is Wang Hao, are you here to buy a dog too?"
"Yeah," Zhao Rongjia said, "My old man loves dogs, I was thinking of getting him something more imposing. You seem quite savvy, especially since you could tell that story not just anyone can tell. How about helping me choose one?"
