Pampering My Cute Pet | LK

A laptop, a bag of chips, a woman wearing an oversized T-shirt, and a dusky summer night.

The screen read:

[Peaches-sama, that chapter you released last night almost gave me a heart attack!]

[So, where did Su Jian fall after she saw that black silhouette? Author, can you stop cliffing us so much?]

[You just gotta get used to it. As a veteran reader, I've long grown used to the author stopping exactly where they shouldn't.]

[This is so good! I'm so excited! An obscure and bloody mystery novel! It's my favorite style!]

[This new little fan wants to ask, is the author a guy or a girl?]

[Heh, what a mind-blowing story. Do you think it's a man or woman who's capable of writing it?]

...

Lalisa scrolled through her readers' comments with a mouse with one hand while the other hand casually reached in the bag and picked up a potato chip. She threw it in her mouth, and a crisp crack sounded in the air as she chewed.

*Peaches is her online username.

When she was done, she wiped her hand on a napkin and started to write a response.

[Eh? It's getting late, I need to walk my dog. Majesty's still waiting for me. Mm... I promise I won't cliff anywhere important tomorrow.]

After she clicked send, the comments started to pour in. [You say that every single day, you liar...]

Lisa didn't see their messages, because she had already closed her laptop and put it on the sofa when she finished typing. She stood up and stretched, then called out to a random corner in the living room. "Majesty, if you want to go outside, you'd better hurry up with eating dinner. I won't take you if you don't."

"Awoo." Love* got to her feet and trotted reluctantly to her special dining area. She started to munch on her dinner.

*Love is the dog's name. Majesty is its nickname.

Lisa nodded in satisfaction and went to her closet to change her clothes.

She took off her baggy T-shirt that she wore at home and replaced it with a short summer dress and a light jacket on top. Then, she tied her hair into a ponytail in front of her makeup mirror.

"Majesty, are you done eating?"

Love scampered to Lisa when it saw her walk out. She woofed twice to show how well-behaved she was, and Lisa patted her head. She took her phone and keys while walking out the door.

If she didn't take Love out for a walk at this time of day, Love would get really cranky.

Lisa locked the door behind her and walked to the elevator. Right when she clicked the button, a group of people walked out of the doors. They seemed to be deliverymen from a furniture company, and they carried a single sofa chair complete with large armrests and a wide back. The sofa took up most of the space in the elevator. Upon closer inspection, Lisa deduced that it was really comfortable but also extremely expensive.

The deliverymen hoisted the chair up, carrying it towards the door opposite hers. Lalisa raised an eyebrow- it seemed that her new neighbor was the extravagant sort.

Without looking back, she walked into the elevator with Love.

Lisa's neighborhood was rather high-class. Its had superb landscaping, convenient shops and malls nearby, and to top it off, it was very safe. However, real-estate prices in the neighbourhood were also terrifyingly expensive.
