Chapter 3521: Owner (2)

She was given the simplest possible background information about one person and one dog. There was nothing else.

Ning Shu could not control her animal instincts. She rested her head against the floor, rolled her eyes around, and asked 2333, “Please tell me the wish for this task.”

A dog’s wish.

2333 coughed. “Just figure it out as you go. This task is very simple. Do what a dog is supposed to do. As for the wish, we do not know what a dog wants to do.”

Dogs couldn’t speak, after all.

Ning Shu: …

Ning Shu stuck out her long tongue and panted heavily.

A guide dog was a type of working dog.

Trained guide dogs could help blind people go to schools, stores, laundromats, parks, and other places.

They were accustomed to the restraint of collars, guide harnesses, and other accessories. They understood many commands and could safely lead blind people as they walked.

When encountering obstacles or needing to turn, they would guide their owners to stop to avoid danger.

Guide dogs possessed a naturally calm temperament. They would stand at appropriate times, refuse food, help blind people take transportation, and pass items. They ignored interference from pedestrians and would not attack them.

Breeds suitable for becoming guide dogs include Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, German shepherds, and poodles.

Ning Shu was currently a large golden retriever.

Guide dogs would become very familiar with their owners’ regular routines, such as commuting routes, frequently visited restaurants, supermarkets, friends’ homes, and so on.

A dog would know the places its owner frequently visited and how long they stayed at each location.

A dog could remember a friend’s address and would still be able to lead its owner to that location even a year later.

A guide dog and its owner would form a very strong bond. This relationship was full of affection and sometimes even surpassed family ties.

Guide dogs were the eyes of visually impaired people. They were assistants, close family members, and loyal partners.

Ning Shu looked at the clock on the wall. However, she only saw black and white colors, which felt a little uncomfortable.

Ning Shu stood up and headed toward the bedroom. At this time, Ying Zhi should be waking up.

Ning Shu pushed the door open with her paw, walked into the room to the side of the bed, and stretched out a paw to nudge the man on the bed.

Because she had only just started using a body with four legs, Ning Shu currently felt uncomfortable all over.

Ning Shu nudged him several times with her paw, but Ying Zhi on the bed still had not woken up.

Ning Shu wondered if he was sick.

Ning Shu jumped onto the bed, stuck out her tongue, dripped drool all over Ying Zhi’s face, and licked him vigorously.

It could be considered washing his face, though she ended up licking a mouthful of grease.

Looking closely, Ying Zhi was quite good-looking. His facial features were well-proportioned. He could be considered a handsome man.

After licking his face, Ning Shu pressed her body directly onto Ying Zhi’s stomach.

“Oof…” Ying Zhi finally woke up. “Beibei, you almost crushed my stomach.”

Ning Shu jumped off the bed and watched Ying Zhi grope for the cane at the head of the bed to get up. Ying Zhi’s eyes were grayish-white. There was no clear distinction between his pupils and the whites of his eyes. It looked as if a layer of film covered his eyeballs. The grayish-white appearance was a little frightening to look at.

Ying Zhi felt his way into the bathroom and began to wash his face and brush his teeth. Ning Shu sat at the door watching him.

The arrangement of things in the house were never changed. If anything changed, Ying Zhi would not be able to find it.

After washing up, Ying Zhi fumbled for the dog food in the cabinet, poured it into the dog bowl, and placed it on the floor. He then felt for Ning Shu and gently patted her head. “Eat.”

Ning Shu looked at the dog food with a complicated expression. It was one thing to eat figurative dog food—public display of affection—but now that she had truly become a dog, she had to eat real dog food.

Ning Shu decisively began to eat. After all, the dog food smelled quite fragrant.

Ying Zhi prepared some simple bread for breakfast. After eating breakfast, Ying Zhi had to go to work. He worked as a massage therapist at a blind massage clinic, which meant he had a professional skill to support himself.

“Beibei, it is time to go.” Ying Zhi put the collar and guide harness on Ning Shu.

Ning Shu did not struggle and let Ying Zhi put them on her. This was her job.

Ying Zhi held his cane, put on his sunglasses, closed the door, and slowly headed toward his workplace under Ning Shu’s guidance.

While passing a traffic light, Ning Shu realized that she could only see in black and white. She could not correctly distinguish the colors of the traffic lights at all and could only judge based on pedestrians and vehicles.

Ning Shu stopped at the intersection and guided Ying Zhi to stop. Ying Zhi stood by the side of the road waiting for the green light just like a normal person.

Ning Shu sat and stuck out her tongue. She saw a tiny child staring at her but ignored him.

Unexpectedly, this tiny child actually came over to pull her ears. A large golden retriever looked very docile and gentle.

If she were a hound, would he dare to come over and pull?

Ning Shu: …

She hated bratty children.

Ning Shu did not attack him. The child was carried away by his mother, who also apologized to Ying Zhi.

Ying Zhi squatted down and patted Ning Shu’s head. “Good girl, Beibei.”

Ning Shu twitched the corners of her mouth. Thank you for the compliment.

The green light turned on, and the pedestrians next to them started to walk. Ning Shu led Ying Zhi across the road, through several streets, and past a park until they finally arrived at the massage clinic where Ying Zhi worked.

The scale of this massage clinic was not small. Ying Zhi could be considered a master-level therapist inside, and it was more than enough to support himself.

Ying Zhi waited for customers in a specific private room. Ning Shu lay down in an inconspicuous corner to avoid frightening the customers.

When Ying Zhi needed to use the restroom, she had to lead him there.

Ying Zhi took out some small dog treats from his bag and gave them to Ning Shu. Then, he patted Ning Shu’s head and waited for customers to arrive to give them a massage.

Ning Shu chewed on the treats. The taste was actually quite good; it was beef-flavored. She treated this task as a vacation. There was nothing wrong with being a dog. Every day, she would lead her owner to the places he needed to go and keep him out of danger.

If there was no specific task, then there was no specific task. Being a carefree dog was not bad, either.

Ning Shu rested her head against the floor. Her eyes darted around as she watched Ying Zhi give a customer a massage.

After one massage session, Ying Zhi himself was sweating profusely. Massage required strength and skill. In the span of a morning, Ying Zhi received two customers.

Ying Zhi earned commissions based on the customers he received.

Because blind massage therapists couldn’t see, giving a massage was somewhat more difficult for them than it was for an ordinary person.

When Ying Zhi massage someone, his technique was skillful, just as if his eyes could see.

Usually, when he had free time, Ying Zhi would practice on mannequins.

“Beibei, let’s go to the restroom.” Ying Zhi washed his hands, felt around for a towel to wipe his hands, and spoke to Ning Shu.

Ning Shu got up from the floor and went to Ying Zhi’s feet. Ying Zhi bent down and found the harness. Ning Shu then led Ying Zhi toward the restroom.

However, they met a female massage therapist at the entrance to the restroom. Ning Shu bumped into the female therapist’s leg. The female therapist squatted down, petted Ning Shu, and said with a smile, “Is that Ying Zhi?”

“It is me,” Ying Zhi said softly. “Are you here to use the restroom? How was business this morning?”

“I received three female customers. It was alright,” the female massage therapist said. She wore a faint smile on her face and looked like a very gentle person.
