ARIWATM Chapter 071

Lin Zimao originally took Jiaoyan to his usual pet store that usually open for a checkup, but the hospital wasn’t open, so he searched for another one, but after calling, he found that because it would snow tonight, the doctors had all gone to celebrate the first snowfall of the year, so he could only keep searching, and finally found a pet hospital that was open 24 hours a day.

Perhaps today is a special program, there are many people bringing their pets to this hospital for treatment, there are common cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels, and birds, and the less common animals such as poisonous spiders, lizards, ants and other strange animals.

Lin Zimao never expected that so many people would be looking forward to the first snowfall in planet Feige, as a result, there are not many pet hospitals open, and everyone is crowded into the 24-hour pet hospital.

There are really too many people coming to the hospital, he can only take the number and wait in line.

He couldn’t see anything wrong with Jiaoyan, he was languid, still lying down and doesn’t want to move.

Many parents nearby were chatting about interesting things about their furry children, some say their children don’t like to eat grains and only like to eat canned food, some say that they don’t like taking a bath, which is distressing, there are also those who insist on sleeping in the parent’s bed, of course, there are those who have bad habits and like to pee everywhere at home.

Jiaoyan meowed several times, Lin Zimao thought it might be a little nervous, so he took it out of the cat carrier and let it lie on his lap.

It is considered a relatively rare breed of cat, which attracted many people to watch, some people tried to pet it, but was stopped by Lin Zimao, Jiaoyan is not feeling well now, and his temper should not be very good either, he doesn’t want to get involved in a lawsuit because of that person cheap hands.

Jiaoyan’s number was called on the big screen, Lin Zimao entered the doctor’s office with Jiaoyan in his arms.

After the doctor asked a few questions about Jiaoyan’s daily life, and then he touched and felt around its body, when he touched Jiaoyan’s injured right hind leg, Jiaoyan let out a loud meow.

Doctor: “Has its leg been injured?”

Lin Zimao: “Yes, it was injured when I found it as a kitten.”

Jiaoyan was found by him in a freezing cold place¹天寒地凍 (tiān hán dì dòng): cold weather, frozen ground (idiom); bitterly cold; it is so cold that the earth is frozen hard/solid; Describe the weather is extremely cold., when he first found it, it was only two months old, it’s unclear whether it was thrown by someone or injured by another large animal, but it had a limp on one leg, after nearly half a year of care, its leg finally got better.

At that time, Jiaoyan was thin and small, weighing just over a pound, later, he slowly raised it and it became so fat, perhaps it had suffered from hunger when it was young, so it was never picky about food, it would eat anything, including cakes, steamed buns, yogurt, nutritional fluids, grilled sausages, it would eat everything.

Lin Zimao felt that Jiaoyan was strong and healthy, so he rarely took it to the hospital for check-ups.

Doctor: “It may be necessary to take a full-body CT scan, perhaps its leg may not have healed well after the injury.”

Lin Zimao: “I see it usually running and jumping around without any problem.”

Doctor: “Cats have a very high tolerance, as long as they are not in severe pain, it’s hard for humans to notice.”

Lin Zimao was worried about Jiaoyan and made a decision immediately: “So it’s like that, then, give it a CT scan.”

The doctor took Jiaoyan to another room to take a CT scan, the process was very fast, when Jiaoyan came out, the holographic CT scan also came out.

The doctor pointed to the holographic photo and said: “You may not have noticed before that the cat’s right leg has never healed, you see, there is a piece of bone here that is necrotic and it needs to be surgically removed, you can see here, it’s this little section.”

Lin Zimao looked at where the doctor was pointing and was stunned, he had never noticed it, he couldn’t help but touched Jiaoyan’s head, poor little guy.

Lin Zimao said: “I was negligent, so when will it be ready for surgery? Is it in great pain now, so it looks very uncomfortable?”

The doctor said: “Don’t worry too much, it shouldn’t be a big problem at ordinary times. When it hurts, it might be like some elderly people who have difficulty breathing when they reach a high-pressure place, the necrotic bone will affect its leg, and the pain will be even worse when the weather is cold in winter, but the surgery is quick, and it will be fine after recovering for a while.”

This male doctor’s words are quite gentle, he also very patient.

Lin Zimao: “Can this be done today?”

The doctor looked at the schedule: “It can be done, but it may take another half an hour, I’ll have someone prepare the operating room first.”

Lin Zimao: “Then do it first.”

Doctor: “You go and pay the fee first, the cat’s name is Jiaoyan, right, leave it to our nurse for the time being, we’ll take it to do some tests first.”

Lin Zimao watched as Jiaoyan was carried away by a sweet-looking young lady with a gentle voice, feeling empty in his heart, he took out his muted communicator, at first glance, there were fifty missed communication calls, all from Jiang Xuan.

He was stunned for a moment, what happened?

Didn’t he have contact with Cheng Chen, the two of them also went racing, did he still have time to care about him?

However, these fifty missed communication calls cannot be faked, after Lin Zimao quickly paid Jiaoyan’s surgery fee, he walked to the corridor outside the hospital and called back.

It was connected in a second, Lin Zimao heard Jiang Xuan’s urgent voice from the other end: “Lin Zimao, where did you and Jiaoyan go?”

Lin Zimao had never heard him speak like this before, when he heard Jiang Xian’s anxious and nervous voice, it seemed as if the bad mood he had been feeling for the past few days had drifted away.

However, he couldn’t forget the WeChat Moments he saw in the afternoon, Jiang Xuan took Cheng Chen to play racing, but he never told him that he was racing.

Lin Zimao said angrily: “You don’t need to mind where we go, it’s good that we’re not there, it won’t stop you from playing racing with others.” As expected, he is a person who can’t hide his thoughts, he accidentally blurted it out.

After Jiang Xuan heard Lin Zimao’s voice, he finally stopped looking for the person aimlessly, he parked his car at a temporary stop and focused on talking to him.

Jiang Xuan was puzzled: “What racing car?”

Lin Zimao looked at the snowflakes floating in the air, opened his hands to catch them, and the snowflakes turned into water in his palm, which was as cold as ice: “What racing car, don’t you know it yourself?”

Jiang Xuan was frightened tonight, only then did he remember that he and Ji Chen went out racing the night he and Lin Zimao had a fight, Lin Zimao probably saw the random things posted on Cheng Chen’s WeChat Moments.

“Where are you? I’ll come and take you home, I’ll tell you later, believe me, things are not what you think. ”

Lin Zimao said in a strange manner: “Things are not what you think, this phrase is really familiar.”

“I was wrong.” Jiang Xuan immediately apologized, “I shouldn’t have doubted you, I’m sorry.”

Lin Zimao immediately stopped grimacing, his face, which had been crumpled all night, finally softened, he pressed down the corners of his mouth and snorted coldly.

“Tell me, where are you now? When I got home and didn’t see you and Jiaoyan, I was scared.” Too worried.

Afraid that they will be vagrants outside in snowy days.

Lin Zimao reported the address of the pet hospital where he was located.

As soon as Jiang Xuan heard it, he knew that something was wrong with Jiaoyan: “What happened to Jiaoyan?” He immediately let the flying car go to the hospital as quickly as possible, the distance is not too far, could be reached in ten minutes.

Lin Zimao: “Come here and I’ll explain it to you in detail, I’m hungry, I’ll buy a sandwich to fill my stomach first.”

Jiang Xuan: “You haven’t had dinner yet?”

Lin Zimao: “Not yet.”

Jiang Xuan’s stomach also made a sound at this time: “Can you bear it for a while? I haven’t eaten either, I’ll come over and eat with you.”

Lin Zimao retracted his cold hands into his pockets and took a deep breath: “Didn’t the Internet say it’s not cold when it snows? It’s so cold.”

Jiang Xuan said: “Wait inside, it won’t be cold anymore.”

“Um.” Lin Zimao responded obediently, “I’m standing at the door, you’ll be able to see me as soon as you come.”

Jiang Xuan said okay, but then he thought he heard wrong, he said you have to go inside so you won’t be cold, but Lin Zimao didn’t agree.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Xuan arrived at the hospital, he saw Lin Zimao standing at the door, being blown by the wind, and looking at the snow.

He was wearing a black coat today, the night light made his complexion fair, Jiang Xuan walked forward quickly, he noticed that the tear mole in the corner of his eye seems to be more obvious, last week, he even deliberately kissed the corners of his eyes, Lin Zimao closed his eyes at that time.

He regretted that he had gone crazy, what’s wrong with Lin Zimao’s fancy to his face, he had to be so melodramatic.

“You should go in, it’s cold outside.”

“It’s okay.” Lin Zimao said, with his hands still in his pockets.

Jiang Xuan took off the scarf around his neck and wrapped it twice around his neck: “Is it still cold?”

Lin Zimao pressed the scarf against his face, catching a whiff of Jiang Xuan’s perfume, he shook his head, his eyes fixed on Jiang Xuan, and after a pause, he said: “Looking for me?”

Jiang Xuan nodded: “Um.”

Lin Zimao following the question: “Afraid I’ll run away?”

Jiang Xuan’s face flushed slightly: “Um.” He was ashamed.

Lin Zimao took a step forward, getting closer to him: “Senior, do you like me very much?”

Jiang Xuan stared at the tip of his nose, which was red from the cold: “Um.”

Lin Zimao was only ten centimeters away from Jiang Xuan: “But I only like your face.”

Jiang Xuan pursed his lips: “It doesn’t matter anymore, it’s enough that I like you, as long as you stay by my side.”

It sounds very humble.

It’s really a case of whoever falls in love first, loses first.

Jiang Xuan compromised with Lin Zimao, he bowed his head first, it was he who couldn’t live without Lin Zimao, not Lin Zimao who couldn’t live without him.

Listening to Jiang Xuan’s inequable confession, Lin Zimao’s heart was slightly shaken, he never thought that Jiang Xuan would like himself more than he imagined, he was excited and scared at the same time, but he had already thought about it, as long as Jiang Xuan was willing, he would take him with him.

Thinking about it this way, nothing seems to matter anymore.

Lin Zimao couldn’t bear to ruin the current atmosphere, but he still wanted to ask clearly.

He took a step forward and approached Jiang Xuan: “Then first explain clearly what’s going on with the race car?”

Jiang Xuan didn’t expect him to ask this, he squeezed Lin Zimao’s cold hand, and explained what happened that night.

“That day, I just went racing with Ji Chen, we didn’t know Cheng Chen was there, he asked someone to hold Ji Chen outside, and he got into the car, and occupied the passenger seat. In the past, I didn’t know that he would deliberately do things to make people misunderstand, but today I finally realized it, in short, I have nothing to do with him.” He held Lin Zimao’s hand and put it on his heart, it was warmer here.

Lin Zimao actually didn’t doubt Jiang Xuan, but he was a little angry when he saw it, if he really had anything to do with Cheng Chen, according to Jiang Xuan’s character, they should have been together long ago.

But he still didn’t want to spare him: “But you’re racing with him, you should’ve kick him out.”

Jiang Xuan never coaxed Lin Zimao, so he can only tell it as it is: “He insisted on not going down, so I turned off his protection mode, after he came down, he vomited miserably.”

Lin Zimao was stunned for a moment, put his head on Jiang Xuan’s shoulder and burst out laughing.

Lin Zimao: “You’re going a little too far.”

Jiang Xuan: “Otherwise someone will be angry.”

Lin Zimao: “I’m not angry anymore.”

Jiang Xuan: “Can the senior get a kiss?”

Lin Zimao: “Ca…” n.

Before he could answer, the communicator vibrated, Lin Zimao pick it up.

A loud nurse’s voice came from inside: “Are you Jiaoyan’s parent? Please come and sign for Jiaoyan’s surgery!”

Darn, almost forgot about Jiaoyan.

Thankfully the misunderstanding doesn’t drag on for too long, don’t worry, JX will know LZM true feeling soon.
