Coming out of the theater, I was surprised to find that it was drizzling outside.
"Wayne, isn't this drama interesting?" Chris said slightly proudly.
His face was begging for praise.
"Yes, it's very interesting." Wayne nodded, "But the noble lady should not be allowed to be with the prince in the end."
"Huh? Why?" Chris felt that this plot development was quite natural, both unexpected and reasonable.
"Because, if there are no twists and turns caused by the power struggle in the home country, even if the engagement occurs without meeting, the prince from the neighboring country will agree."
He said, "The prince just needs that identity, and it has nothing to do with the lady herself."
Chris suddenly stopped, her expression unclear under the cover of her hood.
"Wayne..."
Oops, did I put on eye drops too obviously?
Wayne was just thinking about how to use a childish excuse when Chris spoke.
"Wayne, I didn't expect you to be very talented in literature and see things very deeply!"
She raised her head with admiration and looked at him with admiration, her eyes sparkling.
'Phew, I thought the secret was about to be revealed. '
Wayne breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, I like reading books."
He reflected in his mind on his attitude towards Richard.
I don’t know if it’s because the ending of the animation left such a deep shadow on me, but I always subconsciously dislike him.
"It's good to read." Chris suddenly became excited, "It's great to like reading!"
Seeing her smiling and walking beside her, Wayne had a bad feeling.
"Woah-"
Chris looked puzzled, "What's the sound?"
"Ouch...wooow, wow..."
The two looked at each other in an inconspicuous alley near the street.
Because the moonlight was blocked by dark clouds, one could only vaguely see a cardboard box upside down in the corner, and the sound came from under the box.
Wayne took a step forward and stood in front of Chris.
He spread his palms out in front of him, and a clay doll about two meters high suddenly appeared.
The clay puppet approached the carton step by step with heavy steps, hugged the carton with its thick clay arms, and slowly lifted it up.
A little white guy curled up in a ball emerged.
As if aware of the presence of someone nearby, the little guy let out a painful whimper.
"A... dog?"
Chrissy immediately entered the alley and took out the little white animal. It turned out to be a little puppy.
He looked groggy and mentally exhausted, as if he was suffering from some disease.
"So pitiful..." Chrissy stroked the slightly damp fluff on its head. "Were they dumped here?"
The alley was dark, with two high walls facing each other silently, and it didn't look like it was inhabited.
"anyone there?"
no respond.
This little puppy is really too small, only about the size of two palms put together. I don’t know if it has teeth yet. It looks so weak that it may not be able to survive.
"Wayne, let's go find a doctor and give it a look?"
Although her tone was inquiring, she didn't want to ask for Wayne's opinion. She anxiously rushed home with the puppy in her arms.
"Wait, wait, Sister Chris, let me hold it."
By the way, does the protagonist have too much love? What should I do if I randomly adopt a dog of unknown origin and get rabies?
Wait, is there rabies in this world?
Forget it, it should be no problem for Chris to grow that big in the future, otherwise the original work would have been cut in half.
…
Duke's Mansion, in Wayne's room.
Chris found a clean towel and handed it to Wayne.
Wayne took it and gently wiped the body of the puppy on his lap, while Chris patted its head and sat aside to watch.
It's hard to tell what breed this little white dog is. Its hair isn't too long. It's eyes are closed and it's humming under Wayne's caressing. It has a very cute little face.
While wiping, Wayne said, "It's very late. Go clean and rest early. We have classes tomorrow."
Hearing this, Chrissy couldn't help but yawned.
Too many things happened today, and she felt physically and mentally exhausted, and she really couldn't hold on any longer.
What's more, you got wet in the rain after going out, so taking a shower before going to bed is a must.
"Then...just leave it to you?"
The family doctor had been asked to diagnose and treat the puppy before, and also cleaned its body.
Although I don’t know what their veterinary experience is, after what seemed like a random meal, the little white dog finally stopped showing signs of pain and fell asleep with steady breathing.
"Leave it to me! Don't worry."
Seeing that he seemed to like the puppy very much, Chris felt relieved.
With the company of this little life, and with his own help, children like Wayne should soon be able to get out of unrealistic relationships.
Leaving behind a small nest specially prepared for it - a flower basket covered with soft blankets, Chris half-squinted her eyes and gently closed the door.
Wayne stopped wiping and stretched his neck to eavesdrop on the movement outside the door. After the footsteps gradually faded away, his eyes returned to the little white puppy under his hand.
He turned the puppy over so that its back was resting against his thigh.
The limbs were spread out, and the soft belly was displayed in front of Wayne.
It's only a male.
After confirming the gender, he moved his gaze upwards, and happened to meet its open dark eyes.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wayne actually saw a hint of contempt in it.
He patted its head angrily, "What are you looking at? Call me daddy!"
Of course, a dog cannot call him daddy, but this little white dog seemed to understand what he said. It let out a warning growl and shook its head as if to avoid his clutches.
Wayne gave it a confused look.
... He seems to have a high IQ. Could it be some kind of Warcraft or Mystical Beast plug-in?
However, there should be no similar settings like this in the plot of the original animation. Extraordinary power is limited to magic.
Wayne grabbed its front legs with both hands and raised it to eye level with him.
"Tell me, what is 1 plus 1? Just scream as many times as the answer is."
The little white dog closed his eyes and didn't even look.
"What is 2 plus 3?"
The little white dog relaxed all over and purred slightly.
"Hey." Wayne grabbed it and shook it a few times, but there was no response.
There's something...something wrong with this dog.
Wayne was 100% certain that Chrissy had never had a dog or any other small animal in the animation.
If it doesn't die halfway, it means that it will have a lifespan of at least ten years, running through their entire teenage years.
It is impossible to stay with the protagonist for such a long time without even a single scene.
No, maybe it’s because the current Chris is not the one in the anime that this change is possible.
In the market just now, if Chris hadn't heard its faint cry first and picked it up from the alley, Wayne would never have taken it home rashly.
Putting aside some doubts for the time being, Wayne stuffed it back into the flower basket that had been laid, and then placed the basket next to his bed.
