He wanted to take Hachiko home to take care of him.
But Hachiko broke free of the ropes and barked angrily at Zhou Liye for the first time.
Zhou Liye's plan failed, and Hachiko refused to get close to him anymore, nor would he eat the food he gave him.
Hachiko eventually became emaciated, his skin deteriorated, and he completely turned into a stray dog.
It often lies in front of the station and stays there all day, stubbornly gazing in the direction of the entrance.
Zhou Liye was heartbroken and couldn't play anymore for a while.
Only after taking off his headphones did he begin to emerge from the immersion of the game.
Remembering that she was still live-streaming, Zhou Liye adjusted the camera, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "Hachiko was so good, and so foolish... The old professor died where it couldn't see him, and it kept thinking he would come back, so it kept... waiting... Waaah..."
At this point, Zhou Liye could no longer hold back. She lowered her head, rubbed her eyes with her palms, and tears streamed down her face.
Between sobs, he said haltingly, "Everyone... should treat... their dogs well! (sniffles) A dog might only recognize one owner in its entire life... their world... is so simple... and so loyal..."
His tears instantly broke down the hearts of many viewers who were also holding on.
[Don't cry, streamer, I want to cry too.]
[He's already crying his eyes out]
[A little heartbreaking]
【Hachiko, come home with me】
[Crying so hard she couldn't breathe]
[Have a smoke to calm down]
...
A few minutes later.
Zhou Liye finally managed to stop her tears and wiped her face haphazardly with her sleeve.
The twelfth year of Hachiko's story.
That winter, it snowed heavily.
Hachiko was very old, and he shuffled to his spot.
Zhou Liye walked over and patted its head, but Hachiko didn't move.
“Old friend, it’s too cold today, don’t wait any longer,” Zhou Liye advised again.
Suddenly, he saw Hachiko's ears stand up and his tail wag.
Those dark, deep eyes suddenly lit up again.
Zhou Liye looked up and saw a figure that looked exactly like the old professor!
Even he was overjoyed at that moment.
But soon he realized that it was just a lookalike; the old professor had long since passed away.
A sense of disappointment weighed heavily on Zhou Liye's heart. She lowered her head and said, "Hachiko, we've mistaken you for someone else."
But Hachiko was silent, lying peacefully in the snow.
"Hachiko?" Zhou Liye exclaimed incredulously, "No, Hachiko, wake up! It's too cold, you can't fall asleep!"
Hachiko did not answer, and its body slowly grew cold.
Until its last breath, it firmly believed that its owner would return to its side.
Zhou Liye stood there dumbfounded, sitting in the snow for a very long time.
Suddenly, he burst into tears.
"Waaaaaah! Hachiko!!!"
Zhou Liye smashed his expensive VR glasses and collapsed into a chair, pounding his chest and stamping his feet in frustration.
"Hachiko! Ah!"
He stood up, covered his face, and wailed, crying like a pig.
"Hachiko!"
He cried out a huge snot bubble that covered half of his face.
*Smack*
The snot bubble burst, startling Zhou Liye, who then stopped crying.
"what the hell!"
Teacher Zhou came out of the bedroom with a sour face: "Why are you shouting so loudly all of a sudden?"
"Daddy!" Zhou Liye looked at him with tears and snot all over her face.
"..." Teacher Zhou was startled.
Zhou Liye jumped up and hugged Teacher Zhou's waist, crying like a child, sobbing, "Daddy, I love you! Please don't go to class! Let's get a good puppy, let's name it 'Hachiko', okay?"
