Chapter 1435:

Controversial Location

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After learning from her father’s incessant nagging, Snowy left the house in anger but regretted it when she went out; she felt as if she was plunging into a rolling heatwave.

It was fine in the morning and at night, but now it was almost noon. When she went out, she did not even bring a parasol and immediately got hit by the sun’s rays.

This wasn’t even the hottest time in Binhai City. However, she was so sensitive to the weather since she hadn’t left the house for a long time. Her body has adapted to the air-conditioning environment. She may have always thought that it was spring or autumn, but now that she suddenly entered a temperature of at least ten degrees and 100% humidity difference, every cell on her body seemed to be protesting.

She instantly lost half of the courage that she used to force herself out. She wanted to head back and continue being a salty cat. However, this would’ve been embarrassing; if she did so, she will have no more chance to insist on live broadcasting to be her future career.

Since she was in such a hurry to go out, she didn’t have time to consider what to broadcast.

She walked in the shade and habitually looked up at the leaves above her head, worried that she might suddenly feel a caterpillar. Although the plague had subsided, the shadows left on people wouldn’t be easily forgotten. Even in the distant future, they would talk to their children and grandchildren about the horrors of the plague.

She launched the live app.

With no advanced notice, the fans did not know she was going to broadcast but received the notification that the broadcast room opened.

“Hi! Hello everyone! I haven’t seen you for a long time!” She waved at the camera without using the usual opening words. Not only was she exposed to the sun, but the live broadcast had not yet started. This was merely her warming up.

“Wow! Snowy, why did you suddenly broadcast live without saying hello?”

“Hahaha! Fortunately, I have some time today!”

“Please notice me while there are fewer people here!”

“Snowy, what’s the broadcast about today?”

Snowy was also worried. Although fans wouldn’t mind any live broadcast, she would’ve had a heat stroke if she walked any further for today’s live broadcast.

Woof!

She saw a gray shadow from the artificial woods. Snowy was accustomed to Good-For-Nothing prowling in the wood and thus wasn’t surprised. She merely lifted a foot in front of it so could only lick the sole if he continued to run towards her.

“Stop! Stop running!”

Good-For-Nothing stopped abruptly.

“what the! Is this a Husky? Why is all its hair shaved?”

“Hahahaha! This Siberian husky’s hairstyle is too hilarious!”

“Who did this to it?”

The hair of the whole body of the husky was almost shaved, leaving only the hair on the head and tail intact. Only a long hair from the head to the tail was left on the spine as if shaved to form a Mohawk hairstyle.

When it was shaved, Snowy also witnessed the tragedy. Uncle Jin originally boasted that he had styled others’ hair before and wanted to show off his skills. The dog kept on moving around with every stroke of the shaver. The shaved parts were either too deep or too shallow, and its hair was uneven after shaving. In the end, Uncle Jin just kept a line of hair on its back out of anger, which looked weird once everything else was shaved.

After shaving down Good-For-Nothing, it cooled off and ran to the lake, looking down at the reflection of itself on the lake only to be startled by what it saw. It whimpered back to the owner’s crotch and shivered.

Under Snowy’s hilarious laughter, Uncle Jin led it to the lake and finally made him understand the cruel fact that the dog on the lake wasn’t another dog or a ghost, but itself.

That day, Good-For-Nothing was depressed like never before.

Even now, Good-For-Nothing always resented Snowy because she laughed too loudly. It wanted to tell her how she had hurt it but passed it off with a smile.

Dogs must maintain a sufficient amount of exercise even in the summer, especially those with too much energy like Good-For-Nothing. They couldn’t stay at home all day like cats. Even so, their hair was too long, making them prone to heatstroke.

Snowy saw that Uncle Jin was taking a nap in the shade by the lake, lying on a sun lounger and covering his face with a fisherman’s hat. Since he was asleep, she didn’t bother him and waved Good-For-Nothing away.

However, she still didn’t know where to hold her live broadcast.

“Snowy, where are you? Is it the park? Why isn’t this dog on a leash?”

“Yeah, don’t you know that the Husky is famous for being abandoned by its owners?”

“If Snowy knows the dog owner, she should remind him to tie the dog well. Although this husky looks stupid, it would also be very distressing to lose it!”

Snowy knew that her fans meant well but didn’t understand the actual situation. She merely nodded and agreed.

“That... I heard that a newly opened restaurant is very special, I don’t know if Snowy is interested...” Someone said amongst a barrage of messages.

“Oh? What is it? Let’s hear it,” Snowy was worried and didn’t know where to go. However, she suddenly became spirited by this.

“But if I say it, I might be beaten...” The man murmured.

Snowy and the audience were very puzzled since she welcomed the local fans to provide suggestions. After all, the eyes of the crowd were clear; how would they attack the clue-providers?

The man became pressured by everyone and finally said, “Because... it’s... a newly opened dog restaurant.”

The chat was quiet for a moment.

Snowy had a headache and was afraid of the sudden silence in her broadcast.

The audiences in the live room came from all over the world, with different customs, lifestyles, and beliefs. When Snowy screened the locations provided by fans on the Weibo backend page, she always ticked off those places that might’ve made some viewers uncomfortable. This was especially so in the aspect of food and culture so as not to start arguments among the audience.

Dog meat restaurant was obviously a very controversial location.

She would rather take back what she said just now so that the person didn’t say that.

However, it was impossible to pretend the comment wasn’t there since everyone could see it.

Sure enough, after a brief period of silence, the audience in the live broadcast split into three factions: those in opposition, those in favor, and those merely watching the entire saga.

The supporters and opposers fought each other with no one giving in. The arguments gradually heated up, and those watching on the sidelines continued stirring up the animosity.

Snowy was worried that such a noisy situation would’ve caused many fans to leave and quickly rounded off the discussion. “Stop! Don’t quarrel! The things that exist objectively won’t disappear because we don’t like it... Since there are suggestions from the audience, I will take you there, but I can’t provide a fair judgment of it so I don’t want to eat dog meat. Is everyone okay with this?”

She also knew that this was a bad idea. While neither side seemed to be guilty, both sides may be so. However, she couldn’t think of other compromises in such a short time.

Out of the area, she called a taxi and proceeded to the location provided by netizens.

It didn’t take long for the taxi to reach its destination, which more than ten meters away from the dog meat restaurant. The road ahead was blocked by a large crowd of onlookers.
