Shi Shi reached out her hand, rubbing Xiao La's neck. She rubbed it from its head to tail and then went back to its ears. Xiao La was too busy eating its jerky to care about Shi Shi's petting.
"Maybe it is not used to this home yet and it is still nervous," Shi Shi said quietly. "It will get better over time. You have to get along with it."

However, Liu Sanlang and Shi Shi didn't know about this yet.
