Chapter 385 New Year, New Look for Doro

next day

On New Year's Day morning, at eight o'clock the sun rose above the horizon, and bright sunlight shone directly into the villa courtyard.

From 2025 to 2026, there is only a one-day difference in time; yesterday and today are almost the same.

Especially for Donas, who wasn't really interested in staying up late to celebrate the New Year last night,

January 1st is just a new date.

Life goes on as usual!

After waking up naturally, Donas sat up in bed, her tail unconsciously curling as she yawned and observed her surroundings.

On the bed, besides itself, only Pina was fast asleep, sprawled out.

Dorothy and Doraemon are not in the bedroom.

"Hmph~"

"They're such clingy kids."

"Unlike Marshal Ben and Pina, who don't need someone to sleep with them!"

Lowering her voice, Donas tilted her head arrogantly and muttered a joke to herself, inwardly teasing Dorothy and Doraemon for not being independent enough.

At 8 o'clock, in winter when the nights are long and the days are short, it was just getting light.

Donas didn't believe that Dorothy or Dorothy would get up earlier than her.

Since they're not on the bed, they must be next door, sleeping with someone (Huang Musong) or Sister Xiao Su.

Donas knew exactly what Dorothy and Dorothy were thinking.

And it was indeed right; Dorothy and Dorothy had slept with Huang Musong and Su Qingyao respectively last night.

Meanwhile, in the next bedroom, Duo Luo lazily lay on Huang Musong's stomach, her head resting on his chest. Her soft snoring came and went. Duo Luo opened her eyes briefly, then closed them again, having enjoyed several rounds of naps since she first woke up.

Although I didn't stay up late last night,

But I just want to sleep a little longer.

Doro loves to stay in bed with others!

Anyway, I don't need to go to work today, so it doesn't matter if I sleep until noon. As for breakfast...

Doro opened his eyes again in a daze, thinking about making breakfast, but before he could think about it in detail, he fell back asleep.

The situation was similar in the next room, in Su Qingyao's bedroom.

Compared to Huang Musong's unrestrained sleeping posture, Su Qingyao, as a girl, has a tranquil sleeping posture.

Dorothy, too, was as obedient as a kitten, curling up into a ball of fluff and clinging tightly to Sister Su.

The snoring wasn't loud.

The ears twitch every now and then.

Dorothy, who stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year, is still in a deep sleep.

After opening the doors to both bedrooms, Donas peered through the cracks to observe the interiors. Then, she quietly closed the doors, her movements so steady that not a sound was made.

Pina and her friends were all sleeping, and Donas knew she shouldn't disturb them.

"Um!"

"I'm going to work out."

"I guess they'll wake up by the time I finish my workout."

Still talking to herself, Donas slipped into the exercise equipment room, her eyes scanning the dazzling array of equipment one by one.

Treadmill, climbing poles, punching bags, preacher's chair, mini power bench...

The exercise equipment that Huang Musong bought for Donas was definitely more complete than the equipment in most gyms.

However, any form of exercise will inevitably produce noise.

Exercising early in the morning and disturbing your friends' rest is not a good idea.

I strolled around the equipment room three times.

Donas couldn't decide which skill to train.

Finally, it quietly left the house, slid down the slide to the foyer, dressed itself, and ran out of the villa.

Since moving to the villa, the Doro have always gone out in groups, and none of them have ever gone out alone.

Today!

January 1, 2026!

This marshal will explore the uncharted territory beyond the Great Castle on his own!

Bathed in the morning light, Donas took firm steps as she left the villa, lost in thought...

After squeezing through the fence and leaving the residential area, Donas summoned her toy sword and wandered aimlessly along the street.

Walking along the street, its tail swaying from side to side, it winked and sized up the human office workers of varying heights.

All the down jackets were pure black.

The crowd actively swarmed towards a strangely shaped building.

It was eventually swallowed up by the bizarre building.

Not understanding the purpose of the strange building, she only knew it was called a "subway entrance." Donas stood there pondering for a long time, gradually feeling her tail getting cold from the cold wind.

Quickly retract your tail and wrap it around your waist to keep warm.

Donas loosened the zipper of her down jacket so that it would cover her buttocks.

With her tail no longer cold, her curiosity was reignited, and Donas ran towards the subway entrance without hesitation.

Just as it was about to burst into the subway entrance, the metal monster that had been following it stopped it in time and launched a sneak attack on Donas when she was not paying attention!

The iron claws gripped Donas's nape firmly.

The metal monster controlled its strength so as not to hurt Donas while lifting her up three meters off the ground and floating back towards the villa.

Startled by the sudden attack, Donas turned and swung her sword to retaliate.

"Rustle"

The toy sword made a whistling sound as it swept through the air, but it missed the metal monster; the area diagonally above and to the rear was precisely its blind spot.

Having failed in her counterattack, Donas hurriedly turned around to observe, and only after discovering it was a metal monster did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Putting away her toy sword, Donas let the metal monster grab and pinch the back of her neck, crossing her arms helplessly: "Tsk~, it must be that the person has woken up. That's right! The familiar, embarrassing posture of grabbing me by the back of the neck and lifting me up, only humans and Alvin would do that."

Both feet were off the ground and suspended in mid-air.

Donas knew she was powerless to resist.

For now, all they can do is accept their fate and be taken home by the metal monster remotely controlled by Huang Musong.

In the villa bedroom at the same time

Just as Donas guessed, Huang Musong, who had just woken up, leaned against the headboard and used VR glasses to control the metal monster to fly back.

Donas is always restless and has never been well-behaved.

If only it didn't cause trouble.

No need to think too much,

This little guy is definitely plotting something big!

It was already daylight outside, but the gym next door was unusually quiet. Huang Musong could easily guess that Donas must have gone out alone.

The Yizhuang Development Zone is not like the small towns in the south of the city. Even if Dona has a pet license, she might encounter danger while shopping alone. For example, someone might casually take her pet's leash...

So we absolutely must catch it and bring it home!

Soon, the VR glasses displayed the villa courtyard scene. Huang Musong slowly lowered the metal monster's hovering height, released the steel claws, and let Donas land.

Back in the courtyard, Donas glanced up at the bedroom window, just about to stick her tongue out at Huang Musong's bedroom and make a face, when her gaze met that of Doraemon, who was climbing out of the window and looking out.

Doro stretched out his two forearms and climbed onto the windowsill.

With both feet on the bay window sill,

It smiled and bowed its head to greet Donas in the yard: "Good morning! I'm going to make breakfast now. If you've had fun outside, come home for dinner!"

finished speaking,

Doro jumped off the bay window.

It turned around and trotted happily out of the bedroom to the kitchen downstairs.

Her steps were as light as if she were on springs, and she hummed a little tune as she pondered how to cook today's "bitter memories and sweet tastes" breakfast...

Knowing that there would be food soon, Donas stopped complaining about being taken home and turned to run to the insect nest to find Heracross for some fun.

Approaching the nest, they pricked up their ears to listen and see if Heracross had gotten up.

hey~

"You're awake!"

"Want to have a fight?"

Based on her breathing rate, Heracross was determined to be awake. Donas stood outside the wormhole, assumed a boxing stance, and loudly challenged her.

Heracross dislikes fighting.

In particular, they do not like to bully the weak.

It felt it was much stronger than Donas.

Heracross remained huddled in his nest, letting out a lazy chirping sound to signal that he shouldn't be disturbed while he dozed off.

Donas: "."

They withdrew their stance, sighing in disappointment.

The inability to find any fun made Donas feel itchy all over.

Energetic but lacking outlets, how wonderful it would be to have something to do!

Donas left the insect nest and strolled around the villa, hoping that Doro's breakfast would be ready soon. Eating was at least something important, much better than wandering aimlessly.

In Su Qingyao's bedroom

Dorothy, who had just woken up, was reading a novel on her phone. After finishing the latest chapter, she contentedly opened Alipay to check the day's fund performance.

My heart was pounding with nervousness.

Dorothy's two little paws trembled uncontrollably.

Every day before nine o'clock, when the fund opens and shows whether it has risen or fallen, Dorothy has to worry about it for a while.

May the God of Wealth bless you!

"I hope the silver fund doesn't fall!" Dorothy murmured softly, her left eye slightly open as she glanced at her phone screen with mixed feelings.

This scene was witnessed by Su Qingyao.

Seeing how adorable the little guy's reaction was, Su Qingyao couldn't help but chuckle and sat up to hug him.

Gently stroking Dorothy's fluffy belly, Su Qingyao lowered her head and rubbed her cheek against it. "We just woke up, what are you afraid of? Don't worry! If the fund hits its daily limit down, I'll pay for it to buy more shares for you. How much do you need?"

Funds, like stocks, can go up or down.

Su Qingyao had virtually no knowledge of investment.

She only understood that she should buy more when the price fell.

In other words, the more the price falls, the more you should buy at the bottom.

Dorothy would be very happy if I paid for it myself, right?

Compared to the profits or losses of fund investments, Su Qingyao hopes that Dorothy can be happy every day and not let the losses affect her mood.

After listening to Sister Su's comforting words,

Dorothy took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and bravely opened her eyes to check the fund's performance.

Simultaneously,

Dorothy rolled over.

He held up his phone to show Su Qingyao the screen and explained earnestly:

"It's because you don't quite understand, Sister Su~"

"Based on recent silver price trends, if a decline occurs, absolutely do not add to your position!"

"Silver is trading at a huge premium, and it will definitely crash after a while. I'm worried that I won't have time to liquidate my positions."

Put on glasses,

Explain carefully so that the other party can understand as much as possible.

Dorothy's tone was as professional as a financial blogger.

Although Su Qingyao didn't understand the stock market, she at least knew the general rules. Her college-educated mind was certainly capable of understanding Dorothy's words.

just,

In terms of investment,

Su Qingyao belongs to the extremely stable type who has no desires or wants.

Holding Dorothy even tighter, Su Qingyao smiled sweetly and said softly, "Don't worry too much. Haven't you already made back your investment? Even if you can't sell everything in time, you'll just earn a little less. Don't worry~."

Lifting the covers, Su Qingyao and Dorothy held hands, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

In the hallway outside the bedroom.

Pina, her hair a mess, shuffled around the corner in her slippers.

He holds a fly swatter in his left hand and a small winnowing basket in his right.

It's hunting down those nasty and disgusting cockroaches. (End of Chapter)
