"Woof woof!" The little one whimpered pitifully.
Its fluffy little head affectionately nudged against Zhang Xiaohao's body.
"Fine! I'm really at my wits' end with you! Just to be clear, after you take the stuff, you better scram from here! Got it?" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.
"Mhm." The little one nodded vigorously.
Then it seemed to consider, and with its paw drew the shape of the white "cruller" it had seen earlier on the table.
"Do you want this?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Mhm." The little one nodded vigorously again.
"Crap! That thing's gone!" Zhang Xiaohao cursed under his breath.
"Woof woof!" The little one barked forcefully as if to say, "I just want that, nothing else."
"Let me reiterate one more time, that thing's gone!" Zhang Xiaohao declared.
The little one gave Zhang Xiaohao a doubtful glance and sniffed hard twice.
Then it bared a smile at Zhang Xiaohao and raised its paw to write the number "10" on the table.
