Chapter 787: Chapter 788: Is it really this joyful?
Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen went to Luhe Lane together.
The alley was vastly different from when they first ca.
It was silent all around, no dogs barking, nor strays to be seen.
Xia Yangyang walked up to the last house and knocked on the door.
Aunt Yu appeared in no ti.
Seeing Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen, she smiled: “Well, if it isn’t you two, co on in, co in, I’ve been wondering how to thank you.”
...
Once inside, they saw the old couple having dinner at the table.
Lively Aunt Yu chid, “You haven’t eaten yet, have you? If it’s not too much trouble, join us. We cooked extra because we were so happy today.”
Xia Yangyang wasn’t shy: “I’m actually quite hungry, so if you insist, we’ll accept.”
Aunt Yu responded, “You are our saviors. We’re absolutely thrilled to have you eat with us.”
She provided bowls and chopsticks, and they all sat together at the table.
Xia Yangyang originally thought that Gu Qichen, who seed a bit of a neat freak, would be quite picky about food.
She feared he would be unwilling to eat in such a simple environnt.
However, to her surprise, Gu Qichen ate with relish and praised Aunt Yu’s cooking.
Aunt Yu smiled sheepishly, “It’s us that should be thanking you. You’ve found hos for all the fur babies, fulfilling a wish we’ve long held.”
At the ntion of this, Aunt Yu started to tear up.
Xia Yangyang said, “I know you’ve raised them for many years, and now that the alley is empty, I understand that you must miss them.”
Xia Yangyang took out a list and said, “Here is the contact information of the adopted families of each pet. When you have the ti and desire, you are welco to visit them at any house. When the adoption took place, all adopters were inford, and everyone appreciates your kindness and welcos you.”
All the strays found hos within the city, mostly in nearby neighborhoods.
With tears in their eyes, Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu thanked them while looking at the list: “You are truly amazing. We can’t thank you enough.”
At that mont, a cat walked over, owing before it jumped onto Xia Yangyang’s lap and curled up.
The couple had kept only two pets — a dog and a cat.
The eldest, a black puppy and an orange cat they took care of since birth.
Xia Yangyang patted the cat, saying, “Uncle Yu, Aunt Yu, now that we’ve sorted the pets out, you two should consider the governnt’s relocation offer. These houses are old and it’s dangerous to continue living here.”
Aunt Yu nodded in agreent, “Don’t worry, we’re planning on moving out tomorrow. Miss Xia, you are truly a good person. We can’t thank you enough. If there’s anything we can help you with in the future, please let us know. We’ll do our best.”
Xia Yangyang smiled, “You and Uncle Yu have worked hard for most of your lives, now it’s ti to properly enjoy your retirent.”
Leaving the alley, Xia Yangyang felt particularly light-hearted and happy.
She even began humming a lody as they walked along.
Gu Qichen looked at her with a smile, “You seem quite happy.”
Xia Yangyang replied, “Of course I am. This is the greatest sense of achievent for a dia person.”
Gu Qichen smirked, “So what’s next on the big journalist Xia’s agenda?”
Xia Yangyang thought for a mont, “Next step is to beco a host reporter for ‘First Scene’, create a column of my own, and build a harmonious team. Those are my imdiate goals.”
Despite the weak moonlight, Gu Qichen looked at Xia Yangyang’s radiant face and felt as if she was surrounded by a glorious light.
