It might sound unbelievable, but when I got home today, I discovered two lively carp swimming in the bathroom sink!
Initially, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me and even reached out to touch them.
The two fish got startled and splashed water all over my face.
I was dumbfounded for a moment, unsure of how to react.
After a while, I wiped off the water from my body and asked Wu Yunfei about the fish.
“Don’t tell me these are your pet fish,” I said.
He innocently shrugged and explained that it had nothing to do with him. The neighbor downstairs went fishing and brought back a haul. In the afternoon, he went door-to-door giving out fish to everyone.
“I specifically picked two good carp for you to make soup,” he said.
It sounded nice, but all I saw were carp; where’s the soup, though? QAQ
“They came to deliver the fish when Auntie had already left, so we have to wait until tomorrow to make the soup,” he explained.
Wait until tomorrow to make the soup? What about today?
Are we going to keep these two fish in the bathroom sink for today?
“Bath or sink, choose one yourself,” he said.
After some thought, I chose the bathtub.
I can endure a day without a bath, but I’ll definitely need the sink for washing up.

I don’t want to be surprised by two fish early in the morning tomorrow →_→

“How did you get them in there?” I asked.
“He put the fish in a bag and brought them over. The bag had water, and I poured the fish along with the water into the sink,” he explained.
After thinking for a moment, I asked him to get me a plastic bag. Eventually, he handed me a black garbage bag…
Well, a garbage bag is still a bag.
I opened the bag, filled it with water, and when the fish swam in, I quickly tightened the opening, moving them to the position of the bathtub.
“You’re quite clever,” Wu Yunfei exclaimed.
“Your praise is too much,” I replied.
After saying that, both of us fell into silence, standing by the bathtub, silently watching the two fish swimming happily inside.
“Do you think we should feed them something?” he asked.
I agreed to his suggestion.
So, the two of us, each holding half a bun, fed today’s rations to tomorrow’s ingredients.

When I returned home today, the two fish from yesterday had become dishes on the table.
I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt a bit guilty.
“Why aren’t you eating?” Wu Yunfei asked.
I didn’t answer his question and instead asked, “Do you want to have a pet?”
He was taken aback, probably not expecting me to bring up the topic of pets suddenly.
“Pets… as long as it’s not something weird,” he muttered.
“Weird things?”
Hearing him say that, I suddenly thought of those two carp.
Are carp considered weird pets?
“Yeah, for example, if you want to have a fish or a hamster, I can accept that. But if it’s a spider, lizard, or python, forget it… I want to live a few more years,” he said.
Spider… lizard… python…
Although I’ve heard of people keeping these animals as pets, to be honest, I, like Wu Yunfei, find it hard to accept.
Pets are still cuter when they’re furry.
“Do you mind having a cat or a dog?” I asked.
“Dogs are fine, but cats, no thanks,” he thought for a moment and said.
I frowned when I heard him say that.
Compared to dogs, I actually prefer cats a bit more, at least I don’t have to get up early in the morning to take them for a walk.
“Cats are too aloof, don’t like to be close to people at all. I don’t want to spend money on a master,” Wu Yunfei said. “Dogs are different; they’re not only intelligent and obedient but also good for showing off when you take them out for a walk in the morning.”
“Are pets for showing off? I really don’t understand the mindset of you dog enthusiasts,” I said.
“Dog enthusiasts?” He squinted his eyes and said, “Are you a cat person?”
“Yes! If you don’t agree, let’s have a fight.” I provocatively said.
He suddenly burst into laughter, reached out to mess up my hairstyle.
“All right, since you’re a cat person, from today onwards, I’m a cat person too,” he said.
This change is too fast! I suspect he’s an undercover agent →_→
“Why do you suddenly like cats again? Didn’t you say you don’t want to spend money on a master?” I laughed and asked.
“Because suddenly I feel that having a cat is particularly stylish,” he said seriously.
“But now I suddenly think dogs are cute.”
“I’ve been saying dogs are cute.”
“Are spiders cute?”
“Spiders are not as cute as you.”
I have no words… this guy is really good at using pick-up lines, answering these deadly questions with an incredibly strong will to win, making it admirable.
But coming back to the topic, winning against a spider in terms of cuteness still doesn’t make me happy at all…
