TL: Hua
The pet hospital is not far from where Qi Xiaoyu is, and it only took 20 minutes to drive.
He saw Xun Qian’s car first when he went downstairs.
There were two cars in total; the front one was his Maybach, and the back one was a Hummer with several bodyguards sitting inside.
It seems that what Zhang Han said was right. The situation has indeed been a bit tense recently, and even Xun Qian has to pay more attention to safety than usual.
After Qi Xiaoyu arrived at the hospital, he took out a mask and put it on, then reported the number of Xun Qian’s appointments. Immediately, a female staff member in a pink nurse uniform took him to the second floor.
The environment of this pet hospital is very good. The female nurse whispered to him and explained that the dogs that need to be examined before the operation are all placed in the observation room on the second floor.
While talking, she secretly looked at the person. Although Qi Xiaoyu wore a mask, he was tall and long-legged, with an outstanding temperament. His slightly drooping eyes reminded the nurse of a male star that her friend had been chasing recently.
Qi Xiaoyu followed the staff upstairs, turned a corner, and saw the observation room at the end of the corridor from a distance.
To make it easier for parents to see their pets, pet hospitals basically have glass doors and walls that are clear at a glance.
The observation room was very large. At first glance, it was about 50 to 60 square meters. There was not only White-browed Hero, but also some other pet dogs and cats, most of which were locked in cages.
Of course, the cages in this pet hospital were two or three times larger than those in ordinary pet shops, so they didn’t seem crowded or small.
Places where cats and dogs gather are naturally rowdy, especially some small dogs, which are small in size but bark louder than anyone else.
Qi Xiaoyu could hear the barking of dogs inside from such a distance.
He walked forward for a while, and in addition to White-browed Hero, he also saw Xun Qian and the doctor.
Next to Xun Qian, a woman in a black-bottomed, red-printed long skirt was squatting on the ground, teasing White-browed Hero.
Qi Xiaoyu walked to about the same distance and recognized the woman as Jiang Jing at a glance.
*****
Xun Qian was listening carefully to the doctor, who told him what to pay attention to before and after the operation, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of sterilization. He didn’t seem to care about the person next to him at all.
In fact, White-browed Hero was lying on the ground and ignored people. It looked a little listless and even trembling. Its black fur had become loose and lost its former luster.
Maybe it was the fact that the pet hospital as a place already scared it a bit.
It had been here twice before, and each time it had gotten shots and medication. Although it was vaccinations and anthelmintics, it was enough to leave a particularly bad impression on it.
Maybe it had a premonition of what was going to happen next, so it was nervous and scared.
Jiang Jing held a white poodle with a bandaged front leg in her right hand and took her left hand to pet White-browed Hero’s head, smiling and teasing it, “Baby is so good and pretty.”
White-browed Hero made a buzzing noise in its nose, not particularly happy.
It also rolled eyes upwards.
Jiang Jing continued to tease it with a smile, “Why are you unhappy? Is it because you are alone at home and no one plays with you? Next time, sister will bring glutinous rice balls and play with you, okay?”
“No need.”
After Xun Qian finished talking to the doctor, he turned the wheelchair and took the dog from Jiang Jing’s hands.
Jiang Jing’s hand suddenly fell empty, but she wasn’t embarrassed. Instead, she stood up and smiled at Xun Qian, saying, “What a coincidence that we met in the pet hospital today.”
White-browed Hero was still shaking, and Xun Qian was soothing it with his hands.
Jiang Jing laughed twice and said, “You are so busy, but you still bring it to see the doctor personally. That’s rare. Does the dog need to be sterilized? I have experience.”
She pointed to the poodle beside her and said, “This one and my cat have been sterilized. If you are busy, I can help you take care of it.”
Xun Qian lowered his head and stroked White-browed Hero’s fur without even looking at Jiang Jing. His tone was cold, “No, he has a mom and someone to take care of him. He doesn’t need irrelevant people. Also, my dog doesn’t like the smell of your perfume. Please stay away from it next time.”
Jiang Jing’s good expression, which had been maintained all the time, finally cracked after hearing Xun Qian’s words.
Xun Qian seemed to think it was not enough and added coldly, “Don’t mention my name casually in the future, and don’t call me by my name directly if you still want to stay in S City.”
The last half of the sentence was said with extra seriousness, without any intention of sympathizing with a woman, making it impossible to doubt the truthfulness of the statement.
Jiang Jing was not stupid. She knew the strong warning in these words. She was trembling in fright, looking like she was about to cry. She held the dog leash tightly with her fingers and said stiffly, “Okay, I know… I know, Third Master, goodbye.”
Xun Qian didn’t react to her words. He still stroked White-browed Hero and completely ignored Jiang Jing.
The doctor on the side didn’t dare to speak. He turned around and fiddled with the stack of information in his hand. He probably knew that Xun Qian was a big shot, but he usually had a good temper when he brought his dog to see a doctor. Seeing Xun Qian’s temper, he was so scared that he just wanted to reduce his presence as much as possible.
Jiang Jing squatted down to pick up the white poodle, then turned around and walked out in her high heels.
When she saw Qi Xiaoyu and the staff standing at the door, she realized that there were two more people who saw her embarrassed moment, and she pushed the glass door hard.
****
The staff member at the door who heard this conversation almost stayed in place. She didn’t take Jiang Jing’s rude behavior to heart at all.
Her first thought was that, when she went back, she had to warn those sisters who wanted to hit on Xun Qian. Don’t have any improper thoughts about this man in the name of a dog. He is only gentle and patient with dogs, but he has no such good patience with women.
Jiang Jing is so beautiful, yet Xun Qian is indifferent to her without any bottom line and even threatens to cut off her retreat. It’s terrible!
The second thought is to recall Xun Qian’s words. The dog has a mom? Who is it? ! Is the boss already secretly married?
After 30 seconds of filling her brain with random thoughts, she turned to Qi Xiaoyu, shivering, “Sir, look, do you still want to go in?”
Qi Xiaoyu nodded.
The staff pointed inside and said, “Then…”
Qi Xiaoyu, “It’s okay; you go first. I can go in by myself.”
Qi Xiaoyu spoke up.
White-browed Hero lying at Xun Qian’s feet keenly heard his voice and turned its head immediately. Then it took only three seconds to stand up and pounce on him.
Qi Xiaoyu quickly squatted down and caught White-browed Hero, rubbing it and dodging its tongue with a smile.
Xun Qian then turned around and found Qi Xiaoyu coming.
He turned his wheelchair around and quietly looked at Qi Xiaoyu and the black dog in the doorway, his gaze turning gentle and calm all of a sudden.
Then, when Qi Xiaoyu picked up White-browed Hero with difficulty and looked at him, Xun Qian’s eyes returned to their previous calm and coldness.
He lowered his eyes and said lightly, “Butler Cheng told you?”
“Yes,” Qi Xiaoyu nodded, “Is it going to have surgery today?”
His eyes stayed on Xun Qian’s legs for a while, then skipped past and fell on the doctor.
His throat was a little inflamed, and his voice was hoarse.
When he was talking at the door just now, Xun Qian didn’t hear it clearly because he was a little far away. Now that he was close, he could hear the discomfort in his voice.
Xun Qian was originally casually placing his hands on his knees, but suddenly he tightened them. Zhang Han didn’t tell him about this.
He raised his eyes slightly and looked towards Qi Xiaoyu.
Qi Xiaoyu looked quite energetic, so Xun Qian was relieved.
The doctor had his back to the two people, flipping through the case and the medical record book quickly, pretending that he was too absorbed in his work and didn’t hear Qi Xiaoyu’s question.
After what happened just now, he didn’t dare speak casually before Xun Qian said something, just wanting to be a transparent person.
Qi Xiaoyu saw that the doctor was busy with his work, so he didn’t ask any more questions.
“The surgery was originally scheduled for today, but Xiao Hei didn’t seem very happy.” Xun Qian looked at White-browed Hero and spoke casually.
Qi Xiaoyu pursed his lips and stroked White-browed Hero who was acting coquettishly in his arms. “Doctor said that surgery is necessary?”
“Yes. To prevent cancer in the future.”
Qi Xiaoyu hesitated.
He originally wanted to take White-browed Hero to breed and give birth to a litter of puppies, but now this plan seems to be ruined.
“Is there no way to have children after the surgery?”
“Not necessarily.”
“Huh?”
“Only the one that didn’t grow inside is removed. There’s just a small chance of being able to have children after removal.”
“Oh.”
Qi Xiaoyu was a little tired of holding it, so he put White-browed Hero on the ground.
White-browed Hero rolled over and immediately fell on its back, looking like it was asking for comfort.
Xun Qian, “You can try in the future.”
“Hmm.”
After Qi Xiaoyu finished speaking, he subconsciously wanted to touch White-browed Hero’s… He really didn’t know that White-browed Hero had this defect. But halfway through, he suddenly felt that this action was a bit obscene, so he stopped halfway and retracted his hand.
He remembered Butler Cheng’s words and really didn’t know how Xun Qian had found out about this problem with White-browed Hero.
Xun Qian saw Qi Xiaoyu’s awkward movements and expressions, smiled, and said casually, “It has been acting more and more like a spoiled child recently, always like this, tricking people into touching it.”
Qi Xiaoyu placed one hand under White-browed Hero’s neck to scratch its chin, and rubbed its soft belly with the other hand.
White-browed Hero half raised its head, stretched out its tongue to lick the back of Qi Xiaoyu’s hand, and swung its tail, as if it were showing off to other pets in the cage.
Qi Xiaoyu smiled, “You are obviously a male dog about to turn one year old, why are you still so spoiled?”
“It was like this when you brought it back.”
“Really?”
Qi Xiaoyu remembered how White-browed Hero looked when he first picked it up last winter. It was a little clingy, following people everywhere, even sleeping with them, and seemed to have a tendency to act spoiled.
But he said, “Not as powerful as it is now.”
“That’s because it hasn’t seen you for a long time, so it seems particularly powerful.”
When Xun Qian finished this sentence, his eyes fell on Qi Xiaoyu, and Qi Xiaoyu also turned his head to look at him.
When their eyes met, their hearts skipped a beat.
They hadn’t seen each other like this for nearly four months.
The last time they parted was before Qi Xiaoyu joined “The Departed” crew, and now the movie has been finished.
Even at Mao Chi’s birthday party last time, they looked at each other from a distance through layers of people.
Xun Qian’s eyes are very beautiful, dark, quiet, like a well of water with no bottom, and full of stars.
Long, long ago, Qi Xiaoyu saw Xun Qian with a high fever in front of the hospital bed and secretly lamented. Xun Qian’s appearance and dark eyes made it difficult not to be moved when looking at people like this.
Now that he saw it again after such a long time apart, Qi Xiaoyu ached like the tip of his heart was being pinched by something.
The female nurse at the door hadn’t left yet. She was worried that Qi Xiaoyu would be treated like Jiang Jing just now and wanted to wait and see, but later she felt that the difference in treatment was really too big.
The author has something to say:
Zhang Han: It’s so hard for me QAQ
Doctor: It’s so hard for me QAQ
Butler Cheng: Me too QAQ
White-browed Hero: Is it as hard as mine?
