"Hurry up and take it away. If you say one more word, I'll stew that dog. You're so disrespectful, a mere animal dares to climb onto my heated brick bed."
"Didn't you grow flowers on this very bed? What's the big deal about putting a dog there?" Lin Chuxia pouted. "You really won't take a look at it? Are you over being a doctor already? Once you miss this chance, there won't be another shop like it."
"You think you're so capable, do you? Then why do you need this old man to look after it? Just give it some of your vitamin pills, those seem very effective, supposedly a cure-all."
The conversation was getting nowhere. Lin Chuxia felt a bit guilty and put the puppy on the floor, then watched Old Master He fuss over his plant.
That plant had been there for quite some time, raised by Old Master He after she became his apprentice. Initially, it was half alive, and now as the weather had gotten colder, he'd moved it onto the heated brick bed, where it seemed more lively.
