This Time, Let Me Love You

When Xia Youyi first met Lin Zhaoyu, she felt there was something familiar about him, as if they had known each other for a long time.

After hearing what she said, her friend couldn't help rolling her eyes. "If you knew someone that handsome, wouldn't I know about it?"

Xia Youyi nodded quietly. "True."

She didn't give it another thought, assuming that after they parted, they would never meet again.

Until later, when she moved into a new home and spotted a familiar figure at the entrance to her neighborhood.

The man lowered his eyes to meet hers, a glimmer of light passing through them.

"Long time no see."

Many years later, the two were leaning against each other on the sofa when Xia Youyi asked Lin Zhaoyu, "What would you do if I didn't end up with you in this life?"

He said, "Then I'd stay by your side quietly, just like in our previous life."

Xia Youyi froze for a moment. After a long pause, she said seriously:

"This time, let me be the one to love you."

Coming soon: This Pet Shop Is No Ordinary Place

--What could kittens and puppies possibly do wrong?

Fresh out of college, Jiang Yanke was on her way to a job interview when she got into a car accident while trying to save a kitten.

When she woke up, she discovered she'd changed somehow.

She could actually understand what cats and dogs were saying!

When she got home and saw the cat she hadn't seen in three days, the little cat rubbed against her affectionately. Jiang Yanke thought it must have missed her terribly.

Then a voice sounded in her ear: "The two-legged creature is finally back. Now I can get my paws on some canned food."

Jiang Yanke: So you don't care at all about what I was doing while I was gone for three days?

While out for a walk, Jiang Yanke ran into a stray cat in the neighborhood. As usual, she took out a cat treat to feed it.

The little orange cat rubbed against her hand. "Could you get a different flavor next time? This one is getting old."

Jiang Yanke: You're getting food for free, and you still have the nerve to be picky!

One day, Jiang Yanke took her cat to the pet shop for its vaccinations. As she waited, her expression grew more and more serious.

The shop manager thought she was unhappy with the service and asked her about it as she was leaving.

Jiang Yanke: "The cats and dogs in your shop are so noisy. They've been yelling in my ear the whole time."

The cats and dogs: ?

The pet shop manager raised an eyebrow. "You're a special one. Come work for me!"

Jiang Yanke stared at her in confusion. "Huh?"

The pet shop manager: "Five thousand during probation, salary negotiable after that. Nine to eight, two meals provided, two days off a week, and social insurance included."

Jiang Yanke's eyes lit up. "Isn't this way better than those jobs out there paying three thousand a month?"

She secretly rejoiced. "The interview was a bust anyway, and finding another job will be hard. I might as well make good use of this special ability. Maybe I can make a fortune and live the dream. Heh heh heh."

Jiang Yanke slapped the table. "Kittens and puppies, here I come!"

--

The pet shop manager had a German Shepherd, but Jiang Yanke was the one person who couldn't hear him.

After numerous failed attempts to communicate with the dog, Jiang Yanke said, "Forget it. Maybe he just can't talk, and that's why I can't hear him."

The manager, who had been watching quietly nearby, said, "Could it be that he just doesn't want to talk to you?"

Jiang Yanke: Do you hear yourself right now?

The manager waved to the German Shepherd, who scampered over. Before leaving, he shot Jiang Yanke a glance.

The German Shepherd: "You're the one who can't talk. Your whole family can't talk."

Jiang Yanke, finally hearing the German Shepherd speak: Did I just get insulted by a dog?
