192: Talking Corgi

“Your puppy is so cute, how old is he?”

“One and a half years old,” the young woman replied with a smile.

“He’s so well-cared for, what’s his name?”

Li Qinghe squatted down to play with the puppy.

The Corgi let him scratch his chin with a contented look, not resisting the contact at all.

“My name is A Qian, and he’s named Fish Sauce!”

Seeing that Li Qinghe was a handsome man, the young woman didn’t mind him touching her beloved dog and even told him her name.

Li Qinghe scratched the puppy for a while, then prepared to leave.

The Corgi reluctantly rubbed against his feet, looking up at Li Qinghe, seemingly wanting him to scratch a few more times.

A Qian watched Li Qinghe interact with her beloved dog with a smile on her face.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang out: “Scratch me a few more times, it feels so good.”

Li Qinghe and A Qian both looked around in surprise.

“Don’t look, I’m right at your feet, hurry up and scratch me a few times!”

Li Qinghe and A Qian both looked at the Corgi, and the Corgi also happened to look up at Li Qinghe, even extending a paw to rest on Li Qinghe’s shoe.

“It’s me, hurry up and scratch me a few more times!”

The voice rang out again.

“Ah!”

A Qian gasped in fright, even dropping the leash, and hopped away like a rabbit.

“Wow, so you can talk!”

Li Qinghe looked shocked, then squatted down to scratch the Corgi.

“What’s so strange about being able to talk? Rurururu, scratch here a few times, and scratch the other side a few times too.”

The Corgi twisted his head from side to side contentedly.

A Qian, standing nearby, covered her mouth, looking at Li Qinghe talking to the Corgi in surprise.

Every time the Corgi spoke, she stared intently at Li Qinghe’s mouth, her first reaction being that Li Qinghe was playing a trick.

But seeing that Li Qinghe’s mouth was tightly closed when the voice appeared, she became confused again.

Such a combination of a beautiful young woman, a handsome man, and a dog was quite eye-catching near Hoan Kiem Lake.

And the interaction between Li Qinghe and the Corgi also attracted a few tourists to stop and watch.

Everyone watched in amazement, looking at the Corgi that really seemed to be talking.

“Fish Sauce?”

The young woman finally couldn’t help but step forward.

“A Qian.”

The Corgi heard his owner’s call and looked up, his mouth wiggling just right, making it look as if he was talking.

The young woman named A Qian had a look of both surprise and joy on her face: “You really can talk!”

“A Qian, let me play with this handsome man for a while first, then I’ll go home with you later.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll wait for you.” The young woman nodded repeatedly, her face beaming with a brilliant smile.

Her own dog could actually speak human language, which was an enormous surprise.

“Oh my goodness, such a cute puppy, handsome man, can I pet him?” A sexy and hot beauty also squatted down to look at the Corgi.

“Beauty, before you touch me, ask my A Qian first! As a very loyal dog, I can’t just be touched by strange women.”

The Corgi secretly glanced at A Qian: “If you have anything delicious, it’s not impossible to consider.”

“Oh my goodness, it’s amazing!” The sexy beauty was so excited she was almost screaming. She had initially thought Li Qinghe was talking too.

But Li Qinghe hadn’t moved his mouth at all, just smiled with the corners of his lips upturned.

And it sounded as if the voice was coming from this chubby Corgi.

The sexy beauty rummaged through her bag, but unfortunately, there was nothing to eat.

The young woman named A Qian looked proud, ‘Look how well my Fish Sauce talks, he’s definitely the best dog in the world.’

If it weren’t for Fish Sauce still clinging to the handsome Li Qinghe, she would have certainly taken the dog away immediately.

As for how much a talking dog could sell for, she hadn't considered that question yet.

A Qian, with a reserved expression, folded her arms: “You can touch Fish Sauce, just be gentle like this handsome man. My Fish Sauce loves to have his chin scratched, you know.”

“A Qian, you understand me best.” The Corgi immediately turned his head in A Qian’s direction.

“Fish Sauce, we have to go home after playing for a little while longer.”

“It’s so hard to get out, let me play a little longer, please.”

The conversation between A Qian and the Corgi attracted a few more tourists, who also watched the talking Corgi with curiosity.

Finally, someone spoke up and asked Li Qinghe: “Is this your dog?”

This was a woman dressed quite elegantly.

“No, he belongs to that beautiful lady.”

Li Qinghe raised his hand and gestured in A Qian’s direction.

The woman approached A Qian with an expectant look and asked: “Brother-in-law, can you sell me this dog for ten million vietnamese dong?”

“Ah, elder sister, do you think I’m out of my mind? My Fish Sauce can speak human language.”

“A Qian is right, it’s impossible to buy me so easily.”

The Corgi turned towards A Qian at the appropriate moment.

“No one will ever separate me and Fish Sauce.”

A Qian looked triumphant.

Li Qinghe stood up and nudged the Corgi towards A Qian: “Go find your owner.”

The Corgi waddled a few steps forward: “Brother, I’m leaving!”

After a few steps, he looked back: “Brother, I’m really leaving!”

He took two more steps and looked back: “Brother, aren’t you going to try to make me stay?”

The Corgi’s actions and words were perfectly consistent, making everyone around burst into laughter, which attracted a few more onlookers.

The Corgi ran to A Qian’s feet and looked up at her: “A Qian, are we going home or continuing our walk?”

A Qian scooped up the Corgi: “Good Fish Sauce, let’s go home.”

“Goodbye, Fish Sauce!” Li Qinghe waved from the side.

The Corgi turned his head to look at him, then turned his head back: “You didn’t even try to make me stay, I’m sad, I’m not talking to you anymore.”

Another burst of laughter erupted around them.

Everyone pulled out their phones to film this magical dog.

A Qian also had a look of overflowing happiness.

The world’s first talking dog was hers; she seemed to see wealth beckoning to her.

“Fish Sauce, how did you learn to talk?”

A Qian walked forward, holding the Corgi, and asked him.

But she had already walked more than five meters away from Li Qinghe, so her question naturally received no response.

A Qian anxiously lifted the Corgi: “Fish Sauce, why aren’t you talking anymore?”

The Corgi in her arms just looked blankly, sticking out his tongue and licking his mouth, his small eyes utterly innocent.

“Brother, can you help me see why Fish Sauce isn’t talking anymore?”

In her urgency, A Qian thought of Li Qinghe, who had first made Fish Sauce talk. She ran to Li Qinghe, who was about to turn and leave, holding the Corgi.

“A Qian, what’s wrong?” Li Qinghe looked puzzled.

“Fish Sauce, he’s not talking anymore.”

The anxious A Qian didn’t think much, grabbing Li Qinghe as if he were a life raft.

“The talking you mentioned, is it like this?”

The voice that had been speaking earlier rang out again.

“Yes, yes, yes, that’s it! How did Fish Sauce start talking again?”

The happy A Qian suddenly realized.

“It’s you talking, isn’t it? It’s been you talking all along! No, your mouth isn’t moving?”

A Qian was confused, who was talking after all?

“A Qian, do you believe I can talk, or do you believe Emperor Ly will be resurrected?”

“Neither!” A Qian shook her head like a rattle-drum.

“It’s you, isn’t it? Tell me quickly!”

A Qian, with a coquettish expression, shook Li Qinghe’s hand.

“Yes, actually, we’re filming a video.” Li Qinghe pointed to the camera lens stuck to the tree.

“Thank you for your cooperation.” Li Qinghe took A Qian’s hand and placed ten million vietnamese dong in it.

“Oh, this is so embarrassing.” A Qian was a little hesitant.

“I need to post this video online, and this is payment for your likeness.”

“Of course, if you don’t want your face to show, I can also mosaic it for you.”
