Sophie covered her mouth and giggled. Her eyes looked like crescent moons.
Li Du was displeased and said, “Quick! Get so paper towels, you’re still laughing!”
Sophie chuckled, “Don’t worry, I know the reason now.”
“What reason?”
“The reason why Ah Ow always pees on you,” said Sophie seriously. “She must sll Ah ow on you, so she wants to cover Ah ow’s sll with her own!”
Li Du also laughed, but with a helpless smile. Looks like I’m the only normal one in this car, he thought. “Is that reason more important than getting the paper towels to hold Ah Ow’s poop?”
Sophie waved her hands in disagreent. “Peace of mind, young man. Ah Ow’s a puppy. She won’t poop in such a short ti when she just finished pooping earlier. Her stomach’s empty.”
Sophie was right. Ah Ow’s eyes were wide open, her tail straight, and was trying her best to poop. Although she squeezed out two drops of urine just now, she could not do the sa for pooping. Her stomach was clear.
Ah ow gave Ah Ow a condescending look. He swayed his tail, wanting to co over to Li Du again to give Ah Ow a demo on how it should be done.
Li Du felt like bashing up the ocelot!
Back at Sophie’s house, his pants were now sticky. The ocelot had released a lot of urine, which had a terrible stench. He had been feeling nauseous throughout the drive.
Sophie grabbed a pair of n’s beach shorts for Li Du. “Wear these, and let have the pants. I’ll wash them now.”
“How can I trouble you like this?” Li Du asked. “Erm, by the way, whose beach shorts are these?”
Sophie rolled her eyes and said, “Of course they’re Thomas’s. Besides my dad, why would I have n’s clothing in my house?”
Li Du explained, “I’m not suspecting you or anything, I’m asking because the style of these beach shorts doesn’t seem to suit .”
The beach shorts were bright red and green, with pictures of beautiful won with big chests and long legs. He was embarrassed just looking at them.
Sophie giggled again, covering her mouth with her hand. “It doesn’t matter. You can wait in the living room. Your pants will be ready very soon.”
Before Li Du went to get changed, he got Ah Ow, Ah ow, and Crispy Noodles on the carpet, and pointed at Ah ow. “I’m leaving for a while, you’re not allowed to hurt Ah Ow! That’s forbidden! Understand?”
Ah ow blinked his big eyes. His plump face looked innocent and adorable.
Li Du did not succumb to Ah ow’s innocent look. He tapped on Ah ow’s head with his finger. “I’m not kidding. You’re not allowed to hurt her, or I won’t like you ever again! No more tuna for you ever again!”
Ah ow’s eyebrows creased; he eventually gave in with a sigh through the nose, and reluctantly walked away from Ah Ow, swaying his tail.
Sophie was looking on and marveled at that sight. “Wow, he understands you? Why are your pets so smart? Ah Ow’s very clever as well.”
“Maybe I’m a druid,” Li Du laughed, “born to ta these mischievous children.”
Sophie was relieved that she could wash the pants without worry later, and Li Du went to get changed.
Li Du hurriedly changed out of the soiled pants and cleaned himself up when suddenly Sophie’s scream was heard. “Oh, oh my god, Ah Ow!”
Li Du was alard, he quickly ran out of the room. “What happened?”
Sophie was aghast at the sudden disappearance of the puppy. “Ah Ow, where’s Ah Ow?”
Li Du looked around him. Ah Ow, who should be on the carpet, had disappeared. Ah ow was still on the sofa, smacking his mouth, he seed to have a smirk on his face.
Seeing this, Sophie’s tears imdiately burst out. “No! Ah ow you can’t do this! Did you eat Ah Ow? You ate Ah Ow?”
Li Du was confused. That can’t be true, Ah ow actually did that? he thought.
He quickly brushed off that thought and knew that it was absolutely impossible!
He had owned Ah ow for more than six months now and knew Ah ow’s character very well. Ah ow might have been overbearing most of the ti but he was not that brutal. Even if he didn’t like Ah Ow, even if he could kill the puppy, he would never eat the puppy up.
Alright… Ah ow wouldn’t kill Ah Ow either—at most hurt the puppy badly.
With that, he regained his composure. When he saw that Sophie was crying, he hugged her and lightly patted her on the back. “Don’t cry, Ah Ow will be fine. Ah ow wouldn’t do that to her.”
Sophie pushed him away and reprimanded, “Why are you hugging ? Quick! Go find Ah Ow!”
Li Du picked up Ah ow. Both man and ocelot stared at each other. Li said sternly, “Where’s the little one?”
Ah ow looked confused and innocent. “ooww!”
“I’m asking you where’s the little one? Didn’t I f*cking tell you not to touch her? Ah Ow, the little one!”
Ah ow blinked pitifully at Li Du; as if to say he had wronged him, a tear flowed down from his eye. “ooww!”
Suddenly, Crispy Noodles raised his butt uncomfortably. Ah Ow’s little head appeared from underneath—there was so fur in her mouth and she cried as loud as she could, “Owww Owww!”
Woosh! Sophie dashed to Ah Ow with lightning speed—Crispy Noodles was shoved aside and Ah Ow was in Sophie’s arms.
Ah Ow was panting heavily, her little face was as confused and innocent as Ah ow’s. I nearly died under the butt! she thought.
Li Du put down Ah ow and looked at Crispy Noodles with a grim face. He had mistaken Ah ow for the culprit again—it was actually Crispy Noodles.
Crispy Noodles innocently blinked his eyes and looked bewildered at what was happening before him. He looked at Ah Ow and kept shaking his head tirelessly as if to prove his innocence.
Li Du thought of the ti he barbecued so fish fillet and thought that Ah ow was the one who had stolen the fish. However, the truth was, Crispy Noodles had done it.
As the Chinese saying went, “A thief in the family is difficult to detect.” He ca to a conclusion that Ah ow was just a cranky ocelot that behaved the sa with or without him around. Crispy Noodles, however, was two-faced: he was well-behaved when Li Du was around and projected a totally different behavior when he wasn’t!
Sophie took a piece of dried tuna to the ocelot and said, “We’ve wronged Ah ow. I’m so sorry, Ah ow.”
Ah ow held the dried tuna close to him and chewed it happily.
The victim, Ah Ow, seed to be angry with Ah ow rather than Crispy Noodles. She howled at Ah ow continuously. “Owww Owww!”
Li Du had wanted to punish Crispy Noodles, but he acutely sensed sothing not quite right when he saw Ah Ow’s attitude towards Ah ow.
Ah Ow was maybe a puppy, but she was a really bright one. If she were bullied by Crispy Noodles, she wouldn’t have howled at Ah ow.
Li Du decided to delay doling out punishnt for Crispy Noodles. The three mischievous pets wanted to pit their wits against him? Fine, he would take on the challenge and play detective to solve the case.
He gave it so thought, placed his new mobile phone on the table with the video recording function turned on, and made the phone cara face Ah Ow. Then he dragged Sophie away.
Sophie was puzzled and struggled. “What’s up?”
Li Du took her waist and explained. “We’re going to solve the mystery!”
“Huh?”
Li Du increased the strength of his hands around Sophie’s waist, holding her close. The lady doctor stopped struggling. Her cheeks were crimson and her eyes misty.
They entered a room and Sophie suddenly “regained consciousness,” quickly pushing Li Du away. She scowled at him. “What are you doing? How can you do this to ?”
Li Du quickly explained his actions. “Don’t get wrong, we have to stay here for a while so we can find the real culprit who bullied Ah Ow!”
Sophie was baffled. “Isn’t Crispy Noodles the culprit? What real culprit are you talking about?”
Li Du sighed as he thought, You don’t know how sly the two can be, you’re too naive.
He didn’t know how to explain that to Sophie. If he could get ahold of video evidence, that would make things easier. After around two minutes later, the two of them left the room. Sophie’s eyes were wide open. “Oh my god, Ah Ow has disappeared again?”
She quickly went up to Crispy Noodles and found Ah Ow underneath his butt again.
Li Du’s eyes were wide open too—holy cow, the mobile phone was facing flat on the table!
