The very next morning, Zhang Zian woke up, drew the window curtains, and looked outside at the good weather . It was sunny, and the strong winds from yesterday had stopped . It was a nice day for him to go on a walk .
Last night after Little Celery and Wang Yaning left, Famous had another idea—to let Zhan Tian pull the sleigh with it . This would look much better .
Zhang Zian thought this was a good idea . Dogs had a profound understanding of humanity, and for such a traumatized dog like Zhan Tian, nothing could be healthier for it than applause and cheers . People supporting it would significantly help with rebuilding its confidence .
The only problem was if he would be able to train Zhan Tian enough in these next few days, so that it would listen to all of his orders . After all, Zhan Tian wasn't an elfin .
After he finished the cleaning routine in the morning, Uncle Li delivered breakfast for the elves . Inside the insulated box were barbecue skewers and fried steak for Famous . Zhang Zian put the fried steak into Famous' food bowl, and then fetched a half empty bottle of Great Wall dry red wine . He poured Famous a glass of his own .
Famous watched the red liquid flow into its cup . Its extremely keen sense of smell made it realize that the quality of this wine was no match for the red wine from its imagined landscape . Still, it licked its tongue into the cup and sipped the wine eagerly .
Fina opened its eyes slightly and saw Zhang Zian putting on a jacket . It asked unhappily, "Where are you going?"
Zhang Zian pointed to the back of his shop . "The weather is nice today, so I'm planning on bringing Zhan Tian to the green field for training . Did you want to come with us and lay in the sun?"
"I'm already able to lay in the sun from the shop, so why would I want to go out?" Fina asked .
"Because the air outside feels fresh . It's even better than the air in here . " Zhang Zian advised, "It's boring to stay inside for such a long time . You should go out for a walk, or you'll start getting fatter from doing nothing but eating and sleeping in the store . "
"What are you talking about?" Fina was furious . "I'm not getting fatter!"
Old Time Tea was shocked by Zhang Zian's dangerous remarks, so it quickly chimed in, "The morning time is the best time of the day, and I think it'd be nice for us to go out on a walk . It'll help us digest our breakfast . "
Fina respected Old Time Tea so it just shut its mouth and angrily stared at Zhang Zian . Besides, Galaxy was also looking forward to playing hide and seek in the field .
As for Snow Lionet, it had always followed in Fina's footsteps, and it would follow it wherever it went .
Needless to say, Richard, who loved energetic outings, would be joining them as well .
After Lu Yiyun came into work, Zhang Zian told her to give him a call if anything happened, and that he would be back in a matter of minutes to take care of it . Then, he took Zhan Tian and the elves, and exited the pet shop from the back door, heading to the green field .
The field looked desolate . The branches and leaves from the pine and cypress trees were covered in ice and snow . The dead grass wilted on the ground . The wild cats that had been wandering around in the fall were gone . Wang Qian and Li Kun walked all the puppies from the pet shop in this field almost everyday, except when the weather was bad .
Before leaving, Zhang Zian had dug out an old baseball and a pair of baseball gloves from the storage room . When he was a child, his father would take him to the park to play with himl . When he was a naïve and stupid teenager, he made a goal to throw a sinking fastball—of course he had never succeeded . Playing baseball well required both talent and intense training, and he had neither .
But today, the baseball was not for himself, but to train Zhan Tian .
He spread a waterproof tarp over the stone bench so Fina and Snowy Lionet weren't cold lying down . Old Time Tea jumped to the top of the wall to see if there were any people nearby .
"Zhan Tian . " Zhang Zian took off Zhan Tian's leash and squatted down . He placed the baseball down in front of it . "Would you like to play fetch with me?"
Zhan Tian stared at the baseball, came closer, and carefully sniffed it . Zhang Zian could tell that it was curious .
"I'll throw it, can you bring it back to me?" He tossed the baseball in his hand, caught it, tossed it, and caught it again . Zhan Tian nodded along with his movements .
Zhan Zian's goal for this game was to rebuild Zhan Tian's trust and reliance on people .
"Okay, I'm going to throw it now . " He stretched his wrists out before he made his throw .
When he threw the ball for the first time, he moved slowly so that Zhan Tian could see clearly what he what he was doing . He only threw the ball a short distance, so it didn't roll too far away .
The baseball flew in a beautiful arc across the blue sky . After it landed on the ground, it bounced a few times and rolled forward .
Zhan Tian was still watching the baseball, hesitant to move .
Famous barked at Zhan Tian twice . Trying to set an example from its own actions, Famous ran over to pick up the ball and then brought it back to Zhang Zian .
Zhang Zian didn't give up or act impatient . He threw the ball again .
This time, the front leg of Zhan Tian stepped forward a bit, but then it moved it back .
Famous also had a great deal of patience . Again, it demonstrated for Zhan Tian how to retrieve the ball .
When the baseball was thrown for the third time, Zhan Tian finally trotted forward, fetched the ball, and brought it back to Zhang Zian .
"Good boy, Zhan Tian!" Zhang Zian gently rubbed its head and pulled out some beef jerky from his pocket . He put the beef jerky in his palm and fed it to Zhan Tian .
He purposely didn't feed Zhan Tian breakfast before training it this morning .
Zhan Tian quickly stuck out its tongue and put the beef jerky in its mouth . Now that it understood how the reward system worked, it looked at Zhang Zian expectantly .
After that, Zhang Zian continued throwing the ball, and each time the distance would get longer and more challenging than the time before . Sometimes the ball landed underneath the stone bench, and sometimes it fell far away in the grass . Zhan Tian learned to overcome certain obstacles before retrieving the ball .
Every time Zhan Tian returned with the baseball, it would receive praise from Zhang Zian and more of the delicious beef jerky . It became more and more lively and involved in the game .
Zhang Zian was generous with his praise to Zhan Tian . In the police dog nursing home, he once watched Xiao Yuhong trained Luo Luo, and he was actively imitating her tone and actions . Just like Luo Luo, Zhan Tian had also received basic police dog training, and it was so clever that it had adapted to Zhang Zian's training methods in no time . No wonder it had once been the best candidate in the dog SWAT team .
Little Celery's school anniversary celebration was right around the corner . Zhang Zian had to train Zhan Tian perfectly before it could pull the sleigh alongside Famous in Little Celery's performance . Galaxy looked around and didn't see the wild cats who played hide and seek with it before, and it felt a little disappointed .
"Galaxy, do you want to play hide and seek?"
Galaxy looked back . It was Famous who asked it the question .
"Meow! I do!" Galaxy said happily .
Famous asked, "Alright, who's going to be the one hiding?"
Famous had been looking forward to this day for a while . It should have played hide and seek with Galaxy a long time ago .
