Do you also want to adopt Doro?

Back in the basement, Huang Musong found Dorothy and Doraemon snuggled together taking a nap. They had McDonald's for lunch and were quite full; a short rest would give them energy for the afternoon.

The two doro are sleeping soundly.

Huang Musong also lay down and dozed off for half an hour.

Half an hour later, the landlord arrived, checked the room, and returned the 500 yuan deposit.

The restaurant owner had contacted the landlord in advance.

When the landlord learned of Huang Musong's kind intentions, he naturally wouldn't let him suffer a loss for nothing. The two months' deposit would be split equally between them, easing the freckled girl's renting burden; the landlord was also willing to do a good deed.

Huang Musong was quite surprised to receive the unexpected money and strolled around the streets with Doraemon and Dorothy.

The company shuttle bus, heading back to the town, will depart in three hours.

What do you do during that time?

Wandering aimlessly...

The setting sun caused the temperature to gradually rise.

Before long, Huang Musong was sweating profusely from the heat, and Dorothy and Doraemon's short hair turned into a wet, smooth satin.

We finally arrived at the bus departure point.

The higher the temperature, the less shade there is, and the more likely you are to get heatstroke if you try to endure it.

then……

Huang Musong looked around, pointed to the milk tea shop across the street, and planned to go there to have some cold drinks and sit down to rest.

Look in the direction the person is pointing.

Doro first noticed the cold drink shop, but was then attracted by the shops next door.

There is a bookstore!

It couldn't help but recall what had just happened before its lunch break.

Two hours ago...

Dorothy, led by Doraemon, arrived at a private room in the basement.

From the moment Dorothy stepped into the basement, she fell in love with it. Although it wasn't as nice as her current apartment, it was at least a safe haven. In a big city, finding a place to live was incredibly difficult!

Enter the private room and close the door.

I feel safer now.

Dorothy plopped down on the hard bed.

Doro closed the door but didn't lock it, so that people wouldn't be unable to get in when they returned.

Turning around, I saw Dorothy about to yawn.

Doro was afraid it would close its eyes and fall asleep, so it quickly went over and asked the question that had been bothering it all the way.

"Do you even know what people do?"

Tell me!

During lunch, Doraemon listened to Dorothy's conversation as if it were a riddle.

It's not smart enough to understand what they're talking about.

Now that everyone is out busy, Doraemon is genuinely curious.

When Dorothy was asked questions while she was most tired, she was reluctant to answer, and she felt that answering would only make the other person worry.

He shook his head and remained silent...

However, he couldn't stop Doraemon from asking questions like a curious child.

Dorothy could only try to distract it by changing the subject: "Actually, what people want to do is clearly stated in words and phrases. You didn't understand because you're not well-educated enough; you should read more books."

"Study? I... I don't even know how to read~" Doraemon said with an embarrassed, sheepish grin.

Seeing that she had successfully changed the subject, Dorothy earnestly suggested, "If you can't read, just learn when you have time. When we get back, I'll take you to buy a book and teach you step by step."

"Yay! Yay!" Doraemon exclaimed excitedly.

The more I chat, the sleepier I feel.

Dorothy took off her glasses to prepare for a rest.

Excited, Doraemon lay down and fell asleep the moment he closed his eyes, dreaming sweet dreams of reading.

Recalling this incident...

At this moment, Doraemon felt a strong urge to buy books.

Feeling a little embarrassed to express his thoughts, Doro stammered, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Dorothy knew exactly what it was thinking.

He volunteered, "Hey! Can we go to the bookstore? We can borrow money to buy books. Doro wants to learn to read and write; I'll teach it myself when we get back."

After she finished speaking, Dorothy looked up, then quickly buried her head and rubbed her eyes.

The sunlight was too bright; it hurt my eyes when it shone through my glasses.

Dorothy pricked up her ears, waiting for a response.

Upon learning that Duoluo wanted to learn to read, Huang Musong was initially taken aback, but his blank expression of surprise was quickly replaced by curiosity.

Studying...

This seems to be the area that Doraemon is least good at!

Can it work?

Even if they have doubts in their hearts, they will definitely agree verbally.

"OK."

"Let's start by learning from comics."

Education is something you can't skimp on, no matter how poor you are, Huang Musong didn't hesitate to spend the money on books. Besides, with the weather getting hotter, he couldn't expect Doro to spend all his time collecting bottles, could he? Even if it wanted to work, it would get sick from the heat, which would be heartbreaking. Buying a comic book series would help pass the time, and it probably wouldn't be thinking about collecting bottles all the time.

Huang Musong pondered to himself...

He led a Doro to the bookstore, holding one in each hand.

The store has air conditioning.

A comfortable temperature is pleasant.

Let Doraemon and Dorothy go, and let them choose any book they want to buy; only two books are allowed today.

Because it's inconvenient to bring too many back.

He also has books he wants to buy!

Doro stared at the rows of bookshelves, the dazzling array of books arranged densely, the titles on the side covers resembling insects making it dizzy.

"Wow~..."

Words fail me to express the shock; it turns its head and points to the bookshelf.

Doraemon: "Can I choose anything?"

Huang Musong: "Hmm! Choose whichever you like."

Permission granted again

Doraemon immediately beamed with joy.

Even the strands of hair swayed excitedly.

It pulled Dorothy along, bouncing and skipping into the book section.

Dorothy is learning to read, and Doraemon wants her help to find the book he most wants to buy...

Watching the little ones walk deeper into the bookstore,

Huang Musong also went to the staff on duty to express his demands.

"Could you please help me order a complete set of 'Zhiyin Manke' magazine?"

"I don't want compilations, I only want the original version, preferably a collector's item."

"I'll pay the balance after I get paid on the 12th, and then you can ship the goods. It shouldn't be too difficult to find a supplier in a few days, right? As for the deposit, 500 is fine, is that okay?"

Zhiyin Manke

This comic is definitely a childhood memory!

When I was a child, I lived in a dormitory and didn't have a cell phone or money to buy comics.

Huang Musong borrowed his roommate's TV every week.

now,

My finances gradually improved.

It's still necessary to treat your childhood self to a feast to make up for any regrets.

Even if it's a bit like marking the boat to find the sword...

The staff on duty said they could help find a channel, and that they would ship the goods after receiving the final payment on the 12th.

The matter has been settled.

Huang Musong chatted with the bookstore staff for a few more minutes before being called over by Duoluo, as if they needed help.

Following the sound, we arrived at a bookstore...

He saw the little guy standing in the middle of the two bookshelves.

Claws raised high,

Her cheeks were rosy.

Doro pointed to the very top of the bookshelf.

Worried that people wouldn't understand, Doro gestured, wanting someone to help him get a book from the top of the bookshelf.

Even if it were stacked on top of Dorothy, you couldn't touch it.

There are too many books on the top shelf of the bookcase.

Huang Musong was unsure which book it was.

Why not just lift up Doraemon and let it choose for itself?

Having already determined its target, Duoluo obtained the book it desired. During the time Huang Musong put it back on the ground, its eyes were filled with the book in its arms, its pupils reflecting the winding and intricate words.

Gentle gaze...

The eyebrows are spread out in a "V" shape.

The eye sockets remained in a crescent shape.

It's rare to see Doraemon so delighted with something!

Even though I can't read, I really like that book. Is there some kind of explanation for it?

Why did you buy this book?

Huang Musong asked casually, not expecting a reply from Duoluo. Based on his understanding of it, if this book was also one of its little secrets, it probably wouldn't tell him directly.

however,

This time, Doraemon did not choose to keep it a secret.

Blushing, it held up the book, displaying the title:

"Dorothy said this is exactly what I wanted, and the title is 'How to Love the One You Love Most'."

Upon hearing this, Huang Musong was stunned, and his chest involuntarily felt sore and weak.

Take a deep breath and relax.

After calming down,

Huang Musong smiled slightly and asked, in a humorous tone, feigning ignorance, "Then who is your favorite person?"

"Hehe~" Doraemon didn't answer.

The man and the beast gazed at each other in silence.

Then came a brief silence...

Huang Musong and Duoluo laughed together again.

Hiding in the corner of the bookshelf, Dorothy blushed deeply, feeling embarrassed even to peek.

It is not good at expressing its deepest emotions.

Dorothy greatly envied Doraemon's ability to freely express his thoughts.

"Tsk~"

"That's so embarrassing!"

"Please... don't let anyone come and talk to me. I was only responsible for helping Doraemon learn to read and finding the book it wanted. I really didn't encourage it to buy that book."

Muttering to himself

Dorothy noticed that the man and Doraemon were about to pay the bill.

It immediately hid in the adjacent book gallery at top speed.

Worried that she wasn't fast enough to dodge, Dorothy got down on all fours and ran like a dog.

Not long after...

Dorothy picked out the books she wanted to buy—

—From "Five Thousand Years of Chinese History"

It's recently become quite interested in history.

The illustrated book contains many historical anecdotes and is perfect for reading in your spare time.

Huang Musong paid for the books he had chosen for the two doro.

Waiting for the shuttle bus to depart,

They went back to their home in the small town in the south of the city together.
