"Hey a Gu, Hey an Gu ......"

"Hahaha, it's so itchy, prince, not allowed...... Haha, you're still licking your sister!"

"Oh, by the way, Mom, how is Kanazawa? I miss it, has it eaten properly, is it all right?"

……

“……”

Putting down the book in her hand slightly, she turned her head to look at the two sisters sitting on the sofa in front of her, one playing with the dog, and the other showing off the dog on the phone.

"Sisters. ”

In an instant, the two girls who were as delicate as dolls were stunned, and turned their heads to look at her with some strange surprises, who would actually interrupt others to do things.

It seemed to be frightened by the reaction of the two girls, she suddenly blinked her eyes a little unnaturally, feeling the doubts cast by the two sisters with a little surprise, and suddenly there were some strange feelings in her heart.

Speaking of which, this is everyone's apartment, and what the sisters do doesn't seem to have anything to do with themselves, right?

"Oh, Mom, it's okay, let's talk about it for today, well, send me a few pictures later. Okay, goodbye...... Xiaoxian, what's wrong?"

Seeing that she suddenly fell silent again after calling the two of them, the two girls were even more strange, and then, the petite girl who was on the phone thought about it, hurriedly ended the call, blinked her eyes, and looked at her strangely.

"yes, busy, what's wrong?"

The other girl, who was teasing her little pet, also stopped what she was doing, picked up the small ball of flesh that was placed on the pad and held it in her arms, and then her eyes flashed, and she looked at her with the same confusion and seemed a little strange.

“…… It's nothing, sisters, it's almost time, I'll go grocery shopping first. ”

Pursing her lips, trying to shake off the strange unnatural feeling in her heart, she clipped the bookmark, closed the book, and then stood up, thinking that she was a little tired, and was ready to go out for a good walk.

"Grocery shopping?"

The two girls were stunned when they heard this, and the strange expressions on their faces became even thicker.

Please, although she seems to be the best one among them, her cooking skills are ...... It's not her turn to cook.

"Ah, it's not ......"

At this time, suddenly, the girl holding the little pet blinked her big eyes, as if she thought of something, and exclaimed in a low voice imperceptibly, looked down at the little meat ball in her arms, and looked up at her who had already taken her coat and was ready to go out, and her beautiful little face suddenly showed a little annoyance and embarrassment, and then her eyes rolled, as if she had thought of some good idea, and suddenly said to her who was about to go out with a smile on her face: " Xiaoxian, shall we go buy you a dog?"

"Huh?"

As soon as the girl's words came out, not only was she about to walk out of the door, but even the petite girl on the other side was stunned, but immediately, the petite girl also blinked, and her face showed a little sudden expression, and she looked back at her who looked quite alone standing on the side of the entrance, and a trace of imperceptible distress flashed on Tong Yan's face, and he hurriedly echoed as if he understood: "Yes, let's go, busy, let's go buy a dog again, so that Kanazawa and the prince also have a little friend~"

"But, but...... I don't ...... time."

She couldn't help but be startled by the sudden behavior of the two girls, but then she thought about it and was about to refuse, but she was interrupted before she could finish her sentence.

"It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't take a lot of time to get a dog, really, no more, you can put it at home, although you live in an apartment with us now, but as long as you're done, you can go see it, it's not far away anyway." ”

Holding the little meat ball in her arms, the girl walked directly off the sofa, with a pair of shining crescent smiling eyes on her face, and walked in front of her, saying with a smile on her face but a tone that seemed to be a little unobjectionable.

"But why did you suddenly ......?"

"Hey~ Do you have to pick a special time to buy a pet? Okay, okay, it's decided!"

Looking at the two sisters who suddenly rose up and seemed to be weirdly tough, her face showed a little helpless expression again, and after thinking about it, she still didn't feel good, but this time she couldn't speak, and the words were directly blocked in her mouth.

"Xiaoxian, believe in my sister. ”

She looked at the smiling girl with a crescent moon in front of her.

"Trust my sister, they will become your friends, family, if sometimes in my heart, hmm...... If you think it's a little bad, you can take a look at it, you can play with it, it's very smart!"

She was stunned for a moment, looked at the brilliant and gentle smiling face in front of her, and then looked at the other small face on the sofa that was also gentle and smiling......

So in the end, she set her eyes on the little ball of flesh full of white hair that was held in front of her eyes.

The soft snow-white hair, and the four small legs that look thick and short, well, very cute, but what she likes the most is the pair of eyes like little black beans, very clear, very bright, it seems, as if she can feel a gentle gaze watching her, making her feel ...... Very good.

"How's it going? How's it going? Sister is right? Hmmm?"

Pursing her lips, she looked at the two stares of implied anticipation in front of her and from the other side of the sofa, and nodded lightly.

"Good. ”

……

"Jingle bells. ”

"Welcome. ”

Walking into this pet shop, which looked quite large, she looked around with some curiosity, and pulled the wide scarf around her neck - it was not a few years ago, and it would be troublesome to go out and not be recognized.

"Haha, hello aunt, meet again. ”

"No, no, the little prince is fine, I came this time to buy another dog. ”

"No, it's not the two of us, it's our sister. ”

"Hello. ”

She politely bowed to the somewhat wealthy shopkeeper aunt.

"Hehe, you came just in time, a few good breeds of puppies just came a few days ago, you come with me to have a look. ”

"Really, that's great, you can take us there. ”

"Well, okay, come with me, guest. ”

"This one, it's a purebred Bichon that's only a few days old. ”

"It's just the Silver Fox ......"

“……”

Led by the owner's aunt, she followed the two sisters through the display cage, I have to say, this store is really good, not to mention the pet itself, just the pet cage was decorated by them with various decorations, some small pendants and the like, the pet cage is covered with a layer of snow-white plush, which looks quite good.

It's just,I don't know why,Her gaze swept over this cute thing.,Although it's really cute.,But there's no special feeling in her heart.,It's not hateful.,But there's no feeling of love.。

“…… What's wrong?"

I don't know if it's natural sensitivity, when it swept the look on her face, the petite girl suddenly frowned slightly, and whispered to her with concern.

Turning her head to look at Ernie who was looking at her with concern, she blinked, smiled, and shook her head slightly, signaling that she was okay.

"This one, this gray teddy is the cutest one in this batch, and a lot of people have asked about it these days. ”

Finally, the shopkeeper's aunt introduced the last little one.

"Eh, busy, how's it going? It's really cute, what do you think?"

She looked at the little gray-haired teddy in the pet cage in front of her and the others, indeed, very cute, but she ......

However, she blinked and thought about it, then looked back at the rows of pet cages that walked all the way, and nodded to the girl holding the little meat ball in her arms, "That's it." ”

"Well, that's the little one!"

After receiving her affirmation, the girl suddenly smiled and nodded at the shopkeeper's aunt.

"Okay, then you wait, I'll prepare. ”

A good deal was concluded, and the shopkeeper's aunt was obviously in a good mood, and she was about to prepare some procedures necessary for the sale of pets with a smile, but at this moment-

"That, the store manager......"

A few people turned their heads to look and saw a clerk suddenly and carefully carrying a small pet box towards them and others.

"That's ......"

As soon as the clerk came over, he understood that his boss was guiding the customers to shop, so he immediately leaned over to the owner's aunt and whispered a few words.

"Oh, don't you want to eat it? Hey, it's really ...... Is there really something wrong with it?"

I don't know what this clerk said, the shopkeeper's aunt frowned after hearing this, with a little puzzled and helpless expression on her face, and then she took the small pet box from the clerk.

"You go and get that gray teddy down, don't keep the guests waiting too long. ”

Carefully placed the pet box on the wide table beside him, the shopkeeper's aunt brought over a box that seemed to be a medical box, and at the same time instructed the clerk, and as she spoke, she turned her head and smiled at the three of them a little embarrassedly, and said, "I'm sorry, there are some things to deal with first, can you wait for a while? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, we know the procedure. ”

Hurriedly waved their hands, and the two girls, even her standing on the side, couldn't help but look at the small pet box on the table with some curiosity.

"Ahhh......h

The shopkeeper's aunt has also been doing business for a long time, and suddenly noticed where the eyes of the three little girls were looking, and immediately understood what they were curious about, anyway, it was not something that could not be said, so she opened the pet box and took out the contents of the house, and at the same time smiled and briefly explained the situation to them.

"This is a little Maltese who just came a few days ago, and the little gray teddy is in the same batch, and I was going to show it to you, but I don't know why, since it came to the store, it has been losing its appetite, and it doesn't like to eat, if it weren't for us forcing a little stuff into its mouth, it is estimated that it will die. ”

While talking, the shopkeeper's aunt took out the little guy in the pet box, and when they heard the shopkeeper's aunt's explanation, they couldn't help but look at the little guy who was picked up with some curiosity.

Well, it's not the very haggard look they imagined, the small body still looks quite fleshy, with white and silky hair, and a hairy little head, which looks a little wilted on the hand of the shopkeeper's aunt.

She blinked, looking at it lying quietly in the palm of the shopkeeper's aunt, a little natural distress appeared on her fresh face, and at this moment, I don't know if I felt her gaze, the fluffy little head suddenly lifted, and a pair of small bean-like black and bright eyes met a pair of same black and white silkworm eyes.

Suddenly, as if a string had been plucked in her heart, she looked carefully at these small but seemingly unusually bright eyes, and always felt that a wonderful feeling had entered the bottom of her heart......

"No problem, hey~"

Putting down the small flashlight for inspection, the shopkeeper aunt looked at it lying on the table obviously depressed, with a worried and helpless expression on her face, and then, the shopkeeper aunt took a package of beautifully packaged dog food from the side, opened it and poured out a little in the palm of her hand, and came to it in front of it.

"Let's eat, let's eat, good baby, eat......?

Reluctantly put down the dog food in her hand, and the shopkeeper's aunt showed a little headache on her face, but at this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly came from her side.

"Can you ...... Let me try?"

Suddenly, several people present were stunned, the two girls blinked their eyes, and looked at her in surprise, who had been silent all the way, but now she suddenly spoke, and even the shopkeeper aunt on the side had a somewhat strange expression.

"You're going to try?...... Well, then you can try it, just pour the dog food in the palm of your hand, such a big puppy has no teeth, don't be afraid of being bitten by it. ”

But strange is strange, the shopkeeper's aunt has nothing to resist, after all, it is normal for little girls to overflow with love, and it is quite legitimate for guests to ask to feed their pets, so after hesitating for a while, the shopkeeper's aunt gave way.

"Well, I got ......"

Nodding her head to indicate that she knew, she slowly walked to the table, her eyes quietly staring at the little one on the table.

It's strange to say, looking at the little white hair lying on the table, her heart suddenly became a little nervous, very inexplicable, she didn't know what the reason was, but she didn't reject this feeling, on the contrary, there was a bit of a novel feeling.

Without much hesitation, she picked up the dog food on the table and poured some into her hand, and she carefully put her hand over. I don't know if it's a psychological reason, when she leaned her hand over, she felt as if some sweat was secreting from her palms, and she felt that a small handful of dog food seemed to melt in her hands.

Finally, her hand came to its mouth, and at this moment, her fingers subconsciously shrank, because she could clearly feel the insignificant but real breath of the little creature in front of her.

Then, she blinked, opened her mouth and hesitated, but she still unconsciously whispered, "Eat, eat......"

However, what made her feel a little chill in her heart, and also disappointed the three shopkeepers and aunts who were watching on the side, was that in the face of her call, the little white hair lying quietly on the table did not move, as if she couldn't see the food put on her mouth.

“…… Hehe, guest, it's okay, it's okay, it's supposed to be sick, and we didn't react when we fed it. ”

Shaking her head with a headache, the shopkeeper's aunt comforted her.

"Yes, Xiaoxian, it's okay, the shopkeeper's aunt can't help it, it's okay. ”

Even the two sisters couldn't help but comfort her.

However, she didn't seem to intend to give up, her clear eyes looked at the small white hair on the table, which was always quiet, pursed her lips, and suddenly stretched out her other hand, quietly leaned over, and put it on the little hairy head.

"Good, eat, you have to eat to live, eat......"

Feeling the softness of her palm, she gently stroked it while still whispering in her mouth.

Behind her, the three of them were stunned when they saw her actions, but then the faces of the two girls showed a little helplessness and some relief.

This stubborn girl, sometimes I don't know if this character who won't stop until she reaches her goal is good or bad.

Time passed little by little, but it still didn't move, as if it had ignored the gentle touch on the top of its head.

"Okay, Xiaoxian, don't try, it's okay. ”

Looking at the little white hair on the table that seemed to be colder than her own little black hair, the petite girl standing on the side couldn't help but say something out loud.

"That's right. ”

Holding the little meat ball in her arms, another girl also spoke: "Busy, don't try." ”

However, the words of the two girls did not affect her, she still stroked gently, and muttered softly in her mouth.

"Hey Yigu, I'm really, Xiaoxian, that little guy is obviously sick, so we ......"

Suddenly, the girl's words came to an abrupt end, her big eyes widened, not only her, but also the petite girl on the side, and the shopkeeper's aunt, everyone opened their eyes wide, and even held their breath slightly, quietly ...... Quietly watching it begin to slowly lick the food in the white palm of its mouth!

Suddenly, an indescribable joy surged into her heart, her eyes were shining as she looked at the little white hair that silently bowed her head and licked it, feeling the warm wet touch coming from the palm of her hand, and the wonderful feeling that had been present in her heart since the beginning seemed to expand a lot......

"Auntie, I want it. ”

"Ah...... Huh?"

Still blinking a little stunned, the shopkeeper's aunt looked at the little white hair that was really eating, and then looked at her who was obviously looking at it with affection, hesitated for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "However, this little Maltese is a premature baby, you have also seen it, it may be because of this reason, so it has such a loss of appetite, if you buy it, it may not be able to feed it in the future." ”

"It's okay, I'm confident!"

Waiting for it to lick her palms clean, she straightened up with a smile on her face and looked at the shopkeeper aunt with bright eyes.

"That'...... Alright!"

Although I couldn't see the appearance of the girl in front of me clearly, the shopkeeper aunt saw it clearly with that kind of firm look, and after thinking about it, she felt that she didn't need to push the business out, so she just hesitated for a moment and agreed.

"Well, we're fine. ”

Looking at the little white hair that was lying quietly on the table after eating, the two girls hurriedly smiled in the face of her inquiring eyes, indicating that they had no opinion.

"Jingle bells. ”

"Well, you're good to go. ”

"Hey Yigu, it's really like a prince, hehe, na, busy, let's give the little guy a name?"

"Ah, yes, a name. ”

A name?

She blinked a little stunned, but she didn't have any good thoughts about the question for a while.

"Kanazawa's name is ginger, and the little guy is white all over, and he doesn't like to eat meat, so why don't you call it tofu?"

Bending down slightly to look at it lying quietly in the pet cage, the petite girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with an expression that she thought of a good idea.

"Tofu? Oh, that's unexpectedly good. ”

Bean curd?

She blinked her eyes again and looked down, the snow-white body, and the taste exactly like the monk, wasn't it tofu?

Suddenly, the corners of her mouth showed a little smile, and at this moment, it seemed to know that she was discussing herself now, and it suddenly raised its little head and silently looked at the pair of lying silkworm eyes that were staring at her.

Her eyes reflected in those small, but very bright eyes, and her heart seemed to jump suddenly, and the faint smile on her lips widened and transformed into a smile that was so bright and sweet that she could have in her heart.

"Hello, Tofu. ”

A soft voice, from then on, connected the two hearts......

……

"Haha, tofu, tofu, come here, come here. ”

"Yes, here, come to my sister's place. ”

……

"Tofu, tofu~"

"Hey, if you ignore my sister anymore, my sister is angry!"

……

"Xu Tofu!"

"You don't have a long memory, do you?!"

"I told you that eating too much canned sausages and the like will cause diarrhea!"

"Next time you do this, my sister really ignores you!"

……

"Tofu, it's okay. ”

"Well, it's fine. ”

"It's okay, you're going to be fine, you're going to be okay......"

……

"Tofu, can you take a look at your sister?"

"Okay, okay? Let's not snooze...... Okay, okay?"

"Sister, will I give you all the confiscated snacks?"

"Sister, don't blame you for eating indiscriminately, don't blame you for biting the quilt anymore, don't blame you for licking your sister's face anymore......"

"So...... At least, please, tofu ah......"

……

"Tofu...... Tofu ah......"

……

……

Hello, Tofu.

――――――――――

Postscript:

Perhaps, your fate is unlucky, but you are so lucky.

Because I have to say that some people really envy you, and there are many people who really love you.

Perhaps, our love for you is only love for the house and the black, but our love for you is extremely real.

Because we thank you, thank you for accompanying her who we admire, accompanying her through every lonely time, accompanying her to send away cold nights and ushering in warm dawns, and thank you for giving her that spiritual support whenever and wherever you are.

Your body is small, but it carries energy that none of us can have.

People always like to meet each other and are reluctant to say goodbye, and "love and parting" is one of the eight sufferings of Buddhism, so I never want to say goodbye, nor do I want to say anything like "after arriving in that world", because in my opinion, you will be fine, you will be happy, after all, you not only affect her, but also affect the hearts of many people who bless you.

So when I put down my pen, I wrote this sentence and used this sentence as the title of this article, this sentence, which is what I want to say to you, what I want to say to you, the last word.

Hello, Tofu.
