Chapter 1330: You must keep your promise

“But ...” Cheng Cheng looked at Yuan Zhou hesitantly and still wanted to follow him.

Obviously, Cheng Cheng was both worried about Yuan Zhou and broth. However, it was obvious that broth still didn’t want her to follow him.

“Woof, Woof, Woof.” Broth’s voice was full of urgency.

“You stay here and look after the shop. It’s fine.” Yuan Zhou said decisively.

“Grandmaster, if you need anything, you must call me. I still know a lot of things.” Cheng Han said loudly to Yuan Zhou and broth’s back.

Yuan Zhou didn’t turn his head, but he still nodded his head and then walked out of Cheng Han’s sight quickly.

That’s right. Yuan Zhou and broth were both walking very fast. Broth was running in the front while Yuan Zhou was following behind with big strides.

In the beginning, some people still greeted Yuan Zhou when they saw him. But when they saw him walking in a hurry, many people gave way to him silently.

This was also a tacit understanding between them when they came to Taoxi road to clock in and shop.

He didn’t want to disturb Yuan Zhou.

But soon, a man and a dog walked out of the bustling Taoxi road and came to the intersection of Taoxi road, near the back alley.

Because this was a place where garbage was piled up, usually, no one would come here except for the people who threw the garbage, picked up the garbage, and cleaned it.

However, the rice was lying there. It was the place where Yuan Zhou first discovered broth.

Rice’s entire yellow body was lying there, his head buried under his front paws. He only raised his head when he heard footsteps.

The dog’s face, which usually looked silly, now looked pitiful and helpless. Its wet black eyes also revealed a feeling of sadness.

Meanwhile, broth also ran over quickly and used its head to rub against the chin of rice. Then, the two dogs stood side by side and looked at Yuan Zhou.

“What’s going on?” Yuan Zhou knitted his brows and asked.

“Woof woof.” Broth barked twice and then moved aside with the rice.

Only then did Yuan Zhou, who had been focusing on the two dogs, notice a smaller black mutt lying behind them.

At first glance, the dog was completely black, even its four legs were black.

However, when he looked carefully, he found that the black color was covered with a lot of dust. The strange posture of the four lying on the ground with their bodies completely spread out gave Yuan Zhou a bad feeling.

“You want me to see this?” Yuan Zhou took two steps forward and squatted down tentatively.

“Woof!” Broth barked and then went forward to nuzzle the dog with its head.

However, the Black Dog didn’t have any reaction no matter what broth did to it.

In the end, broth even became fiercer and its barking became louder. It even ran around the Black Dog while rice was barking sadly in a low voice beside it.

“Stop, broth.” Yuan Zhou reached out his hand to touch broth for the first time.

Yuan Zhou reached out his hand and pressed on broth’s head directly. Instantly, broth stopped and stood stiffly on the spot.

“Let me take a look.” After Yuan Zhou said that, he put down his hand and directly reached for the Black Dog.

With Yuan Zhou’s sharp hearing, he had long heard that it was a dead dog without any breath at such a close distance.

Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou still reached out his hands and carefully touched the Black dog’s heart and breathing. He also tried to feel the dog’s neck.

However, the Black Dog’s body was stiff, and its fur was a little prickly to the touch. The temperature was even cold to the touch.

Apparently, it was an adult dog that had been dead for a long time. The reason why it looked smaller than broth, a mixed-blood Teddy, was that it had bones all over its body and not a single tael of meat.

The four worn and dirty paws also indicated that it was a stray dog.

“Broth, rice, he’s already dead.” Yuan Zhou took back his hand and said earnestly while looking at the two dogs who were looking at him expectantly.

“Woof woof woof, wuwuwu.”

“Woof ...”

Broth and the rice wailed together. Yuan Zhou didn’t disturb them and just stood there quietly.

After the two dogs had finished venting, he said,””Did you call me here to take care of him?”

Broth paused for a moment and then began to dig at the concrete ground with its claws. It seemed to be using a lot of strength. After a few tries, traces of scratches and faint bloodstains could be seen on the ground.

Apparently, broth’s paw was injured. Did it want to dig a hole and bury the Black Dog’s body?

“Stop,” he ordered. Yuan Zhou pressed the head of broth gently and then sighed,””Broth, I know you’re sad, but the black puppy is dead. Although I don’t know him, he’s your friend, right?”

“Woof woof.” Broth barked weakly and then lay down without moving.

Meanwhile, rice leaned over and held broth tightly, as if to comfort him.

“Broth, you still have some rice. Leave the rest to me.” Yuan Zhou said.

Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! For the first time, broth took the initiative to put its head close to Yuan Zhou’s palm and rubbed against it gently.

In fact, dogs were very sensitive to human emotions. For example, without Yuan Zhou’s warning, broth already knew that Yuan Zhou would never touch him, nor could he touch him.

However, broth was obviously very sad now. It was the first time that it took the initiative to approach Yuan Zhou and rub his hand.

Today was also the first time that Yuan Zhou touched broth and he even touched its head for three times.

Yuan Zhou stroked broth’s head gently and didn’t say anything.

A human, two dogs, and a dead dog just stood there quietly. After a while, broth stood up again and walked to the little black dog. It arched its back again.

He meant that he could leave it to Yuan Zhou and bury it.

“Okay. Don’t worry, broth. I’ll cremate them and bury them.” Yuan Zhou said to broth earnestly.

Yuan Zhou took two steps forward and prepared to lift the Black Dog up. At that time, Cheng Han suddenly said,””Grandmaster, let me do it.”

That’s right. In the end, Cheng Han had followed Yuan Zhou here because he was worried. She had been here for a while and had also seen the scene of Yuan Zhou comforting broth.

But Cheng Han didn’t come out to disturb them. Instead, he watched quietly. Even when someone threw out the trash, Cheng Han would take over and say that she would help them with it later.

It was not until Yuan Zhou was about to carry the Black Dog himself that Cheng Han couldn’t help standing up.

Having been in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant for half a year, Cheng Han had already deeply understood how much of a clean freak Yuan Zhou was. He changed three sets of clothes a day and took a bath at least five times a day.

In the beginning, Cheng Han couldn’t understand it. Later on, he found out that Yuan Zhou was doing this to ensure that there was no smell or dust on his body at all times for the sake of the purity of the ingredients, the health of the customers, and the taste.

For the food that entered his mouth, hygiene was even more important than the taste. The longer Cheng Han followed Yuan Zhou, the more he realized that a person’s excellence was not coincidental. It was all accumulated bit by bit.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou had never touched the broth or the rice that he liked very much. But now, he wanted to carry the dog. Naturally, Cheng Han had to stand up for him.

“No need,” Yuan Zhou didn’t turn his head to look at Cheng Han, nor did he ask her why she followed him. Instead, he directly refused her.

“But Grand Master, you ...” Cheng Yu anxiously stepped forward to stop him, but he didn’t have time to finish his sentence.

That was because Yuan Zhou had already picked up the Black Dog. Then, he stood up and looked at Cheng Han seriously, saying,””This is what broth asked me to do. I have to keep my promise.”
