Do you also want to adopt Doro?

Run west along the street, turn north at the intersection, and turn right again when you encounter another intersection.

Doro is like a leader sheep.

It deliberately chose the route.

It is clearly the outer perimeter surrounding the examination center school.

The reason for choosing this route as the test track is that Duo Luo thought that maybe Sister Xiao Su would sit in the window seat of the test room?

If so, you can see the road by looking up from near the window.

Take this opportunity to cheer on Sister Xiao Su...

Doro really hopes that the young lady can get the best possible score.

The campus is quite large; a complete circuit around it is about 1.5 kilometers.

Dorothy, who was chasing hard from behind, was exhausted after running only 1 kilometer.

He was panting heavily...

The figure of Doraemon gradually changed from being able to see his back to being far beyond his reach.

"望其项背" means to be able to see the other person's back, and thus have a glimmer of hope of catching up.

"Beyond reach" means there's no chance of catching up; the outcome is already decided.

Realizing the race was already decided...

"I lost!"

Using the voice function of the glasses,

Dorothy reluctantly conceded defeat to Doraemon.

After saying that, it immediately stopped running and lay down straight on the sidewalk.

Hiss, whoosh, ha, sizzle...

Huang Musong, who was following closely behind, watched Dorothy's reaction and heard her making strange panting sounds.

I didn't think much of it.

He thought Dorothy was simply tired from running.

"Would you like some water?"

Huang Musong stopped and took out a water bottle from his backpack.

The plastic bottle is filled with Orunji juice, and its slightly cool temperature is both refreshing and gentle on the stomach.

Before he could even place the water bottle next to Dorothy,

I just poked its back dimple,

Snapped……

Dorothy then slapped Huang Musong's wrist with her other hand.

The sound was loud, but the force was quite weak; being hit didn't hurt at all.

Their attitude, however, was full of resistance!

Huang Musong was stunned.

What's wrong with this little guy?

Take a closer look.

"Slurp..."

Dorothy, who was lying on the ground covering her head and face, let out a sob.

The sound of sniffling is definitely not from running!

"Dorothy, are you...crying?"

Huang Musong also used the team's voice chat feature to express his concern.

"Slurp..."

Dorothy didn't say anything, sobbed again, and pretended not to hear anything.

The little paws waved aimlessly.

It took actions to prevent people from getting close.

This is enough to confirm that Dorothy is crying!

Huang Musong was completely bewildered, utterly confused. He'd been running and racing perfectly fine until now, so why was he suddenly crying? Could he have stepped on a nail…? No, he hadn't. His little paws were a bit dirty from running, but he wasn't injured.

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

Dorothy, who was running ahead, learned through the team's voice chat that Dorothy was crying, and quickly stopped.

Doro's reaction was much more bewildered than Huang Musong's.

"Are you really crying?"

Dorothy scratched his head blankly, then turned around and walked back towards the man and Dorothy.

As I walked, I gazed into the distance.

It also confirmed that Dorothy was indeed crying.

When his good friend cries, Doraemon feels inexplicably sad and rushes over to comfort him.

result...

Dorothy heard Dorothy's footsteps and guessed that it was coming, so she cried even harder.

My tear ducts are bursting like a dam.

Tiny pearls dripped onto the stone bricks with a soft, rhythmic sound.

Based on the changes in Dorothy's sobbing intensity, Huang Musong vaguely guessed that her current condition was probably related to Dorothy.

then,

He crouched down, beckoned to Dorothy with his finger, and said, "It seems like you're the one who made Dorothy cry... You have to take the competition seriously, and you can't make provocative gestures while running."

"Quickly apologize to Dorothy."

"We're still good friends."

He affectionately patted Doro's little head.

Huang Musong gestured for it to go and comfort Dorothy.

Upon hearing this, Doraemon was filled with questions, wondering what he had done wrong.

Could it be...?

Did I really make Dorothy cry?

Forget it! I don't want to think about it anymore.

People are my favorite companions.

He must be right~

After a brief moment of thought, Dorothy moved closer to her and began to comfort her: "I'm sorry~. I shouldn't have run so fast, and I shouldn't have made those teasing gestures. I... hehe~"

I didn't really understand where I went wrong.

In addition, he's not very bright.

In the end, all Doraemon could do was let out two silly laughs to convey his happiness.

Smiles are contagious.

Dorothy hopes that it will infect Dorothy and make her stop crying and start laughing.

Upon hearing this apology, Dorothy wanted to quickly explain that she hadn't been made to cry by the other person.

It doesn't matter what pose you take!

I just...

Dorothy suddenly became a little unsure of what was going on.

Is it because you don't want to lose the game?

wrong.

I used to chase and play with Doraemon, and it almost always won. I never felt bad about losing.

Today is the only strange day!

What's wrong with me?

Dorothy continued to sob, her head buried in her hands, and waved her little paws to indicate that her tears had nothing to do with Dorothy.

Oh……

Huang Musong squinted, vaguely understanding something.

It has nothing to do with Doraemon, and it has nothing to do with me, so it's its own problem?

OK!

My thoughts suddenly became clear.

Standing up and clearing his throat, Huang Musong adopted a ruthless referee's stance and declared, "Duo Luo is the winner of this race. Later, when we go shopping, you can choose any snacks you want; I'll pay for as many as you can carry."

"In addition, there is a surprise bonus: the right to borrow the comic book magazine 'Zhiyin Manke'."

"Another reward is that I'll buy you popsicles when we go shopping because of your good performance during the exercise."

"A surprise reward, you can choose one of the two, you two can discuss how to distribute it."

The words had barely left his mouth for a few seconds...

"Gurgle"

Dorothy immediately got up and stood up.

Its little face was bright red.

She lowered her head, feeling extremely embarrassed.

She had indeed stopped crying, but tear stains still clung to her cheeks, creating a contradictory look that was both comical and pitiful.

The fact that she stopped sobbing proves Huang Musong's guess was correct—that's the reason.

Dorothy's subconscious mind couldn't bear to miss the chance to read comics!

It doesn't matter if I lose to Doraemon in the race.

Dorothy doesn't care about winning or losing.

In reality, the only thing it cares about is the reward.

Upon learning that the surprise reward included the opportunity to borrow comics,

With the fundamental problem resolved, even if Dorothy still wanted to cry, it would be difficult for her to continue crying for a while.

Dorothy, being slow-witted, didn't understand what was going on, but she noticed that Dorothy had returned to her normal mood.

That's awesome!

wrong……

He's a person! He's so amazing!

A few simple words were enough to make Dorothy happy.

Doro's admiration for Huang Musong intensified, his large eyes sparkling with respect.

"Why are you looking at me? Let's hurry up and get to the supermarket to shop. By the time we buy snacks, your little Su sister should be finished with her exams. Doro, have you forgotten? Little Su sister said she would give you a gift after the exams." As he spoke, Huang Musong held one of Doro's little paws in each hand and headed towards the department store.

Dorothy let herself be led around.

At this moment, it felt a little embarrassed, ashamed of how easily it had cried earlier.

Huang Musong did not mention what had just happened again.

Simply because he knew Dorothy's personality much better now!

Dorothy is indeed clever.

But ultimately, it's a little beast from the world of anime and manga.

Its mind is not mature enough.

Being able to accept winning and losing, but unable to bear missing out on a desired reward, is a sign of a child's fragile mentality. It's like a child trying chess for the first time; even if they can accept defeat, they will still feel sad about losing pieces.

Intelligent, but fragile.

It seems I'll need to take better care of it in this regard in the future...

Doro, on the other hand, thought simply.

Continuous probe,

After confirming several times that Rosie had stopped crying,

Doro's walking style has returned to its previous free and arrogant manner.

……

At the same time, by the window of an examination room in the school...

Su Qingyao, engrossed in her writing, happened to catch a glimpse of them out of the corner of her eye. A person was walking down the street with two small animals, the sunlight illuminating their silhouettes with exceptional clarity.

Warm!

Cozy!

The beautiful scene made her already excellent condition even better.

"That's awesome!"

"If only I could join them and take a walk with them..."

"Hurry up and do the questions, try to hand in the paper early."

As she pondered this, Su Qingyao's hand speed increased, and she seemed to recognize every English word in the test questions.

English was originally her strong suit.

With the help of buffs,

For a moment, I felt like I was aiming for a perfect score!

I don't know how much time passed...

Just as Huang Musong and his two Doro dogs stepped into the mall, Su Qingyao finished filling in her answer sheet and asked the proctor to hand in her paper early.
