Chapter Ten
Jiang Chuan turned around, staring at the mouse lying on its back on the ground for a while, recalling the way to distinguish between male and female hamsters he had seen online. After confirming the sex of this one, he let out a slight sigh of relief and finally revealed a satisfied expression. Subconsciously wanting to reach out and grab it from the glass tank, but in the first second of stretching out his hand, he seemed to remember something and withdrew it again. He turned around with an expressionless face and ordered the pet store owner: "Take it out, get me a cage, and get everything that hamsters need, all the best."
The pet store owner was overjoyed when he heard that a wealthy customer had arrived, and he eagerly agreed to catch the stupid hamster who must have accumulated good fortune in his past life. However, before he could even let go of the cage, he heard the mother of the bear-like child, who had been silent from head to toe, suddenly shout: "Wait!"
Jiang Chuan and the pet store owner turned around at the same time.
The corpse-like hamster suddenly sat up from its near-death state.
At this moment, under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, a middle-aged woman who was still holding a vegetable basket pushed her own child forward and said proudly: "This hamster was spotted by my son first, sir, please choose another one!"
Look at that, the old lady finally spoke up. The little kid also puffed out his chest and said: "That's right! I saw this mouse first! You can't bully kids, uncle, pick another one!"
Jiang Chuan slightly furrowed his brow, staring at the mother and son in front of him for a while. After a moment, he turned his head again to look at the pet store owner who was now at a loss for what to do - in fact, being stared at by the man made the pet store owner feel as if someone had lit a fire on his back, his entire back was about to be ignited, and cold sweat was flowing down. He could only force himself to say: "Sir, it's true... before you came, this lady had already taken a liking to this hamster..."
"What? What the fuck?" The mouse in the glass jar started jumping up and down again, "This big sister, you're talking sense but I didn't agree to it, did I say I agreed to go with this bear child? Look at that face full of horizontal meat, doesn't he look like a serial animal killer? Does he have the right to buy hamsters——is there mouse rights anymore?!?!?"
At this time, Jiang Chuan didn't pay attention to the mouse in the glass jar, who was jumping around anxiously with its round eyes rolling around. He patiently listened to the boss explaining the order of who came first and who came later, even nodding his head like a good boy under the desperate gaze, calmly saying "I know".
He took a deep breath of cold air.
The pet store owner was slightly stunned.
Is that all?
It seemed that the man in front of him, who had a strong presence, was actually talking reason. The pet store owner let out a sigh of relief that things were resolved amicably, but then saw the man glance at the price tag above the hamster cage and pause for a moment before continuing with the unfinished second half of his sentence: "I'll give you 100, sell me this hamster."
Pet store owner: “......”
The mother of the naughty kid: “......”
"Brat: 'What's the big deal? No way! Just because you have money doesn't mean you can boss me around! You spend 100, I'll spend 1,000! 10,000! 100,000! Mom!!!!!!!!'"
Jiang Chuan didn't get angry, but also didn't respond to him. He just looked at the mother of the bear child and said: "We'll compensate you another 100 yuan for spiritual damages."
Pet store owner: “......”
"Stop it! Having money isn't everything! Mom, quickly tell him you have money too!"
"Boss, hurry up and grab one for me, I'm in a rush to sell vegetables - the cage is free, right? I told you I won't spend an extra penny on anything else. You have to keep your word, sir. It's also hard for me to let go of this hamster, my son might hold it against me for a day, so the 100 yuan spiritual loss fee can't be waived either..."
Jiang Chuan slightly curled up the corners of his lips and nodded.
Five minutes later, the middle-aged woman walked out of the pet store with a vegetable basket in one hand and her wailing son's ear in the other. As they left, the son still tightly held a tattered plastic box, the kind used for Brazilian turtles.
Silently lying on the glass wall, I watched the mother and son leave. My heart couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy. Today's encounter must be an extremely important lesson for that child, from now on he will realize the importance of money, and even understand that even if it is his beloved object, it can be lost directly because of money. This society is so cruel, distorted, and inhumane...
However--
None of his business.
From today on, he is a hamster of the Jiang Chuan family, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
It shook its round buttocks, and when the pet store owner stretched out his hand into the glass jar, it opened its arms to welcome him. As it jumped onto the palm of the pet store owner's hand, it clearly heard him exclaiming "Ah!" and then saying to the man behind him: "Sir has a good eye for this, I don't know what's going on with this hamster, but it's quite affectionate! Look at its round body, which is also fatter than other hamsters. It must be a hamster that can eat and sleep well and is especially gentle!"
"Oh."
Jian Ran: "......"
That's enough, just praise me and stop attacking my figure - I think my own figure is good enough, as lovely as it can be.
The pet store owner handed the hamster to Jiang Chuan - Jiang Chuan struggled for a moment, stretched out his hand to take it over, and the hamster quickly rolled and crawled from the pet store owner's hands to Jiang Chuan's palm. To show its friendliness, it even stretched out its paws to hold Jiang Chuan's thumb and rubbed against him with its head in a rather flattering manner.
The pet store owner couldn't help but exclaim: "Sir, you're really something! You spent a fortune to buy this hamster from someone else's hands, and it seems like the two of you are destined to be together!"
"I don't feel anything."
"...The pet store owner forced a smile, "How could you not feel anything? Otherwise, you wouldn't have spent so much money to buy it..."
"It's just not used to it."
Pet store owner: "Huh?"
"When you see something you like being taken away by others."
As soon as the man finished speaking, he clearly saw the pet store owner's knee tremble slightly - he guessed that in that instant, this stingy guy either wanted to kick Jiang Chuan or kneel down... Of course, the latter was more likely, after all, when Jiang Chuan didn't speak, he didn't look like a good person who would say "it's okay" after being kicked.
After purchasing the hamster, next is buying various living supplies for the hamster.
Because Jiang Chuan said they all want the best, so Jian Ran became a high-rich-handsome in the mouse world and took the first important step in his new life: owning a private villa.
Private villa three layers, the top layer has a nest for hamsters to sleep, filled with cotton; The second layer has a small swing and food bowl, as well as an external bathroom; Connecting to the first floor is a slide, the first floor at the bottom has a removable tray for changing, as well as an external water bottle, a seesaw for hamster play, tunnel toys that hamsters like to drill, and grinding stones and other small toys.
Jiang Chuan absent-mindedly listened to the boss's introduction, and after the boss finished introducing with a flourish, he raised a rather constructive question - he pointed at the two villas with identical internal structure, one red and one blue, and asked seriously: "What's the difference between the red and the blue ones?"
The boss fell silent for three seconds, then replied with a serious face: "The difference lies in whether the hamster you bought lives in it with a lifeless expression or a carefree and joyful one."
"What if it's just a gay mouse?"
Pet store owner: “......”
"Just kidding."
Pet store owner: “......”
The gay mouse squatting in the man's palm silently rubbed his knees, and at this time, he felt that his entire level had dropped. He was then thrown onto the table by Jiang Chuan - after rolling around on the table and getting up, before he could even react to what was happening, he heard his own "master" say very generously: "Choose for yourself."
Pet store owner: "Oh dear, sir, you're overestimating the intelligence of hamsters. They can't even understand what you're saying..."
Before he had even finished speaking, the fat hamster had twisted its bottom and scurried into the blue villa.
Jiang Chuan: "I heard Totoro has an IQ of a six-year-old."
Pet store owner: "Huh?...... This is a hamster."
Jiang Chuan: "Isn't it great that we get to choose our own houses without listening to orders?"
Pet store owner: “......”
"It's just the IQ of a six-year-old kid."
The pet store owner wiped his face: "Whatever you say, okay... I'll get you some more bath sand. Change the bath sand every three to four days, 100 grams each time, and just clean up the dirty stuff inside every day; The mouse food looks good, this is milk tea, use dwarf mouse beauty special feed, German import, just refill when it's finished - not too much, six-year-old kid IQ!"
Jian Ran: "......"
For some reason, the hamster squatting in the villa with its limbs stretched out and trying to climb up to the second floor through the ventilation pipe always felt ridiculed when it heard the pet store owner's words... nor did it know if it was just an illusion.
He twisted his head to look at Jiang Chuan, who was dull and nodded woodenly. Jin Yan also put down her guard and continued to climb up to the second floor with a rustling sound - to be honest, considering it's still just a young mouse, this ventilation pipe is a bit cramped, it's really hard to imagine how much effort it will take for him to climb up to the second floor to eat or sleep on the third floor when he grows up.
Just as he finally managed to squeeze his round body out of the air vent and collapsed onto the second floor, silently vowing to spend the rest of his life stuck there and never move again, he heard Jiang Chuan's distinctive detached voice once more: "What's its name?"
The pet store owner laughed: "You're joking, customer! We have a whole tank of hamsters here, I don't have time to name each one individually. Besides, even if I did have the free time to give them names, who knows, maybe by tomorrow night they'd be...".
"Shut up."
Pet store owner shut up.
At this moment, in a quiet pet store, the man standing outside the blue hamster villa finally put his gaze back on the hamster he had just "splurged" to buy from the bear child's hand - staring at the hamster that was lying on its side with four legs open in front of the food bowl on the second floor, still stubbornly stretching out its paws to scoop out melons from the food bowl. He fell silent for a moment.
About ten seconds later, Jiang Chuan said: "Then just call him Ah Fei."
The hamster, who was about to stuff the melon seeds into its mouth, paused and turned around, looking at the handsome face outside the villa with a confused expression: Ah Fei? Who?
Jiang Chuan: "A Fei, are sunflower seeds tasty?"
Jian Ran: "Huh?"
Jiang Chuan: "Boss, bring me another box of melon seeds."
Jian Ran: "......"
