This Childhood Sweetheart is a Little Sweet

Chapter 68

The news of the upcoming provincial cycling competition came in when Jiang Wei was texting Xiao Liang. With a 'ding' sound, Jiang Wei glanced at the news headline and said to Yi Ming, who was cleaning his shoes in the bathroom: "The provincial league is coming, have you signed up?"

Don't ask why Yi Ming always cleans his shoes in the bathroom...

Recently, Xiao Shi has been eating too many fruits and suffering from diarrhea. Jiang Wei has taken it to countless pet clinics, but the doctors all said:

"We've given it all the fluids and shots it needs. Your furry friend's condition is not serious; it's probably just... reluctant to hold it in."

Jiang Wei looked at the doctor with some confusion: "What does 'reluctant to hold it in' mean?"

The doctor stroked his chin, furrowed his brow in thought: "Well, it's hard to say... Basically, some people are lazy and like to lie in bed and eat, and some dogs are lazy too, not wanting to go to the litter box, so they just release it halfway..."

Jiang Wei nodded with partial understanding, then asked: "I understand what you're saying, but can you explain why Xiao Shi always goes to the bathroom in shoes? Does it think the shoes are toilets?"

The doctor smiled meaningfully and shook his head: "Smart little ones don't mistake what is and isn't a toilet."

"Then why?"

"Probably just because it doesn't like the owner of those shoes - kind of like... a prank? Yes, that's it..."

Jiang Wei: "..."

Carrying Xiao Shi home from the hospital, the oblivious Yi Ming looked concerned: "How was it? Did the doctor say what the reason is?"

Jiang Wei thought for a moment, and decided not to tell him for the sake of household harmony and to avoid human-dog conflicts...

"It's nothing. The doctor said to pay more attention to its diet for a few days, and after some rest, Xiao Shi should recover."

"That's great."

Yi Ming breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

Jiang Wei looked at him with deep regret in her heart...

This poor guy...

When he heard Jiang Wei's question, Yi Ming was looking at his shoes that had been repeatedly victimized, the "Air Force Ones." Annoyed, he scratched his head: "I haven't signed up yet. My schedule has been tight recently, and I haven't decided whether to participate."

After scratching his head, he suddenly remembered he hadn't washed his hands after cleaning his shoes. He immediately panicked and rushed to the sink, turning on the faucet. "I feel like I'm losing it lately... Jiang Xiao Wei, can you discipline your son? If he poops in my shoes again, I'll make him wash them himself..."

Jiang Wei chuckled softly and playfully squeezed Xiao Shi's fluffy little paws.

"That might not be convenient. My Xiao Shi can't separate its paws to hold a brush..."

"Tsk, you always take its side."

Yi Ming wiped his hands and walked out of the bathroom, putting on airs as he said: "When I was sick, I never saw you doting on me like this. Alas, I have no status now. I can almost hear the sound of my heart breaking..."

"You have status, you have status. Look, you're the one who has to take care of all the major household chores. How could you not have status?"

Jiang Wei rarely smiled so happily, revealing a glimpse of her bright white teeth. Her smile was as lovely as a flower.

"What major chores?" Yi Ming asked curiously as he approached.

Jiang Wei smiled, reached over to open the garbage can by the coffee table, and deftly picked up the garbage bag: "See? Isn't this a major chore? Don't you feel... this household wouldn't function without you?"

Yi Ming was taken aback, but his actions were swift even as he mumbled, "Hmph, you only know that."

He put on his shoes, carried the garbage bag out, and before leaving, he gave Jiang Wei a warm, affectionate look.

"Jiang Wei."

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Next time, let me take out the trash again."

"Why?"

"Because... 'this household wouldn't function without me'... I love hearing that..."

He raised his eyebrows and smiled radiantly.
