"It's nothing, just remembering the past."

Shaking his head and breaking free from the memories, Stark gave an explanation with a wry smile: "When I was young, I also had a few pets."

There is no further explanation, but the subsequent development is not difficult to guess at all.

It's very simple. It's nothing more than that the pet's lifespan is not long enough, and it dies naturally after reaching the upper limit. Stark, who attaches great importance to them, has suffered a lot.

"Really... You don't look like someone who knows how to keep pets." Feeling that the atmosphere was a little low, Shi Xiaolei made a joke on purpose.

"It's because I experienced it when I was a child, so I never kept it." After muttering, Stark looked up at the translucent screen hanging in midair again: "Pepper, have you ever had a pet before?"

"Before I went to college." Pepper nodded slightly: "I remember very clearly. At that time, I had two cats and a puppy in my family. The puppy was named Wendy, and it was a girl. It's a very cute little dachshund. Both cats are female, the white one is called Susie, and the other is an orange cat, and my mother named her Fufei."

"Very cute name." Nodding, Stark's eyes flashed, and he asked again with a little regret: "However, I don't seem to have heard you mention it before."

"Yes, as soon as I mention them, it reminds me of the sadness when we parted, so..." Pepper couldn't help showing a sad expression: "Wendy died when I was in college. Until now, I still I remember very clearly that it was a day of heavy snowfall, and it was only a few days before Christmas. When I received a call from my mother, I was quite happy, because the holiday was about to come, so I could go home. But when She told me the news of Wendy's death, and I'm not feeling well..."

As he spoke, some watery light appeared in the corner of Pepper's eyes. Obviously, she recalled the scene at that time again, evoking the sadness that she hadn't thought of for a long time.

"That's why I'm hesitant." Stark sighed for a long time: "Whether it's a cat or a puppy, even other animals, it's not difficult. The key is that pets have a limited lifespan. Live for more than ten years. When they grow old naturally, Little Morgan will surely fall into deep sorrow like us before, and it will be unforgettable for a long time."

"Although it will be at least ten years later, and it is still far away from now, but when I think that little Morgan will cry very sadly, I just...Pepper, can you understand my mood?"

"En." Raising the back of his hand and touching the corner of his eyes, Pepper nodded slightly.

After staring at each other across the screen for a while, after calming down a bit, Pepper continued: "But this was also mentioned in the movie I saw just now. It said that the death of a pet will certainly make people very sad. , but it’s not all bad things. From another perspective, when a pet ushers in the end of life, as the owner, you will also feel the preciousness of life. The more you love your pet, the deeper you will feel.”

"I feel the preciousness of life, so I cherish life even more." Nodding, Stark concluded.

"Yes, that's it." Pepper smiled a little reluctantly: "I have thought about it carefully, and I think it is more beneficial."

"Hmm... well, I agree."

"So, which do you think is better? A cat or a puppy?" After talking here, Pepper brought the topic back again, returning to the original question.

"Let me choose..." After thinking subconsciously, Stark made a long sound unconsciously. After about five or six seconds, he finally gave his answer: "I think a pet dog is better."

"What's the reason?" Pepper's eyes flashed, showing a trace of resistance in his expression.

"I've only raised dogs before, and I've never raised cats." Stark said this first, and then continued to explain: "Besides, dogs are closer to humans than cats, and their obedience is much better."

"Cats are not bad either." Pepper retorted: "There are some breeds of cats that are a bit aloof and don't like to stick to their owners. But there are also some cats that like to be close to humans, such as puppet cats. , British Shorthair cat, Siamese cat, and the Persian cat that I used to have at home, that is, the one named Susie, it also likes to stay with me."

"But you have to admit that compared with dogs, cats are indeed much less obedient, aren't they?"

"But cats are cuter. Our Morgan is a girl. Don't you think it's more appropriate to have a cute kitten as a pet?"

Although the call was made to seek Stark's opinion, it is not difficult to see from the conversation between the two that Pepper had already made a choice in his heart.

She prefers cats to puppies. In her heart, it can be said that she has already made up her mind. This is to get a cute kitten for Little Morgan as her first pet in life.

With Stark's IQ, it is impossible not to understand.

It's just that this guy didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he refused to change his words, so he had to argue with Pepper.

"Cough cough, cough cough." Seeing that the couple were talking more and more lively, as if they would quarrel at any time, Shi Xiaolei, who had been silent for a long time, had to cough twice, and suddenly interrupted: "Tony, and Pepper. Can you?" Listen to me? Look at your energy~lightnovelpub.net~ Are you planning to start a fight? Why bother, it’s just a trivial matter. It's for the little guy's benefit, the position is the same..."

Before Shi Xiaolei could finish speaking, Stark interrupted his nagging with one sentence: "Dude, which one do you think is better? A puppy or a kitten?"

"Lock, tell me your opinion." Pepper on the screen also turned his attention to Shi Xiaolei.

No matter which one you choose, you will offend the other party. Unexpectedly, eating melons became the main character, Shi Xiaolei showed a big wry smile on his face, and couldn't help but groan inwardly.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly.

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and the corners of Shi Xiaolei's mouth curled up. He looked at Stark who was close at hand, and then looked at Pepper on the screen: "It's not just kittens and dogs to choose from, why not expand the scope and consider other breeds?"

"for example?"

"Like a little dinosaur, or..." Pointing to the sky, Shi Xiaolei said with a smile: "Tony, do you still remember that Mr. Collector we met last time? Don't get me wrong, I didn't say to ask him for help. What I mean is, you can learn from him, find a more prosperous planet and send a commissioned task, and ask those who want to earn rewards to help find a cute and sensible cub and give it to the little guy as a pet .”

"..." After a few seconds of silence, Stark rolled his eyes: "Dude, have you taken the wrong medicine? You can't say something useful if you're talking nonsense?"

To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources, and read aloud with many timbres. Both Android and Apple are available. 】

"Is my suggestion bad?"

"Of course it's not good, no, it should be said that it can't be worse."
