Don't think of rebirth.

Unlike Jiang Chuchu's vigilance of "a pig comes to eat cabbage", Xia He is thinking: When did it become so difficult to have a backer?

It was a good thing for Xia He to receive a call from Gu Qinghuan on Saturday morning. However, Gu Qinghuan asked him so anxiously whether he could enter the residential area where the Yu family lived, so he didn't want to keep it a secret any longer.

The house he said he wanted to take Gu Qinghuan to see last time was in that community, so he was also the owner and it was easy for him to get in.

When Xia He heard that they were going to rescue stray cats, he thought, this is his turn, right? Whether it's a pet clinic or the supplies needed for rescue, he can easily arrange it.

As a result, when he went to pick up Gu Qinghuan, she was holding a cardboard box with everything in it.

Towels, paper towels, wet wipes, cotton swabs, diaper pads, disposable gloves, hot water bottles, baby bottles, soothing milk, thermos bottles, kitchen scales, insect repellent drops... it's so complete.

Xia He: I seem to be of no use.

He pretended to be casual and asked, "Sister, you prepared a lot of things?"

"Well, when I was in middle school, I had a friend who wanted to be a veterinarian, and we used to do rescue work together," said Gu Qinghuan.

As soon as he entered the gate of the community, Gu Qinghuan called Yu Xin and went there according to the instructions.

Seeing Gu Qinghuan, Yu Xin's heart also settled down: "The cat is here!"

Gu Qinghuan squatted down, put on disposable gloves, and picked up the kitten: "Wow, you're struggling quite vigorously."

She pulled the fur apart and checked the body surface, ears, eyes, buttocks and other parts: "There are no obvious fleas or ear mites, but I'll wrap it up for deworming later. There are no injuries, the umbilical cord has fallen off, and there is a blue film in the eyes."

Then use paper towels to absorb the water on the kitten and put it on the kitchen scale to weigh it.

"267 grams..." Yu Xin read out beside him, "It's so light."

"It's OK. It's a normal weight and should be about two to three weeks old." Gu Qinghuan's expression was much brighter. "It's a healthy little guy. I wonder if he can defecate on his own."

Hearing Gu Qinghuan say this, Yu Xin beside him also breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Qinghuan dripped an external dander on the kitten, wrapped it tightly with a urine pad, and put it in a cardboard box next to a hot water bottle. She asked Yu Xin, "Do you want to take it to your house or should I take it away?"

Yu Xin was a little at a loss. She looked at the kitten in the cardboard box. The kitten had been meowing since Gu Qinghuan picked it up. Its voice was sharp and thin, and to be honest, it was quite noisy.

Now, probably thanks to the warm hot water bottle, the kitten's cries have become much quieter and don't sound so pitiful anymore.

The previous thought came to her mind again. Why didn't she ignore the kitten this time?

Xia He had been watching from the sidelines without saying anything, but now she spoke up: "Do you want to keep this cat?"

"I don't know," Yu Xin shook her head. "If I take it back, the rest of the family will definitely not like it and won't let me keep it."

"What I'm asking is," Xia He dragged out her voice, "Do you want to raise one?"

Yu Xin curled up her fingers and clasped them in her palms.

Gu Qinghuan had been planning to post the message to the city's rescue group after returning home, in order to find someone to adopt the kitten. But when she saw Yu Xin like this, she immediately understood.

She said, "Xinbao, no matter what you want to do, I will help you. I may not necessarily support you, but I will definitely help you analyze it clearly so that you won't have any regrets."

Yu Xin loosened her fingers, looked up at Gu Qinghuan, and said slowly: "I want to keep it."

Hearing Gu Qinghuan say this, Yu Xin realized that what she wanted was change.

Her living environment has changed and she has money now, but many times she still doesn't dare to make changes and is still trapped in the shadow of the past.

Although she is gradually trying to do something now, it is limited to herself and she does not have the courage to take on more responsibilities.

Just like now, the life of a kitten, it is obvious that there will always be a way as long as she reaches out, but she just doesn't dare.

Yu Xin took a deep breath: "I want to keep this cat, Qing Huan, can you tell me what I should do?"

Gu Qinghuan smiled: "Okay."

Xia He retracted her gaze and pulled Gu Qinghuan's arm: "Sister, since her family won't let us keep a pet, let's find a place to put it down first."

"Then let's go to school first and leave the kitten in my office." Gu Qinghuan made the decision.

Anyway, Gu Qinghuan had prepared everything, so Yu Xin didn't need to go home again, so she followed Xia He and Gu Qinghuan into the car.

This time, Xia He sat in the passenger seat, and the two girls sat in the back seat. Gu Qinghuan kept telling Yu Xin the things to pay attention to when raising a kitten.

Arriving at the office, Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but sigh: "Since the start of the school year, how many times have I come to school on weekends?"

Yu Xin was a little embarrassed: "I am sorry for causing you trouble."

"I'm not blaming you!" Gu Qinghuan quickly shook her head, not knowing how to explain it. She simply ignored it and continued to take care of the kitten.

They had almost finished deworming on the way here, and when they untied the urine pad, they found a few fleas, which Gu Qinghuan strangled to death one by one.

Then he poured the Shuhua milk into the bottle, soaked it in hot water to the appropriate temperature, and taught Yu Xin how to feed the baby.

The kitten had been meowing very loudly, but when the pacifier was put in its mouth, it started to drink the milk with a slurp and became much more obedient.

After drinking, Gu Qinghuan taught Yu Xin how to use a cotton swab soaked in water to wipe the kitten's butt to promote defecation.

After the kitten fell asleep, Gu Qinghuan pulled Yu Xin to sit at the table and asked her what she thought.

"First of all, looking at the condition of this kitten, it needs to be fed every four or five hours. This situation must continue for at least half a month, and you also have to help it defecate..." Gu Qinghuan chattered.

While listening, Yu Xin took notes of the key points on her phone's memo and checked from time to time.

After explaining everything, Gu Qinghuan said, "For now, the kitten can indeed be kept in my office. I'll talk to Senior Bai about the situation, and he should agree. However, it can't stay here forever."

"I will take it back." Yu Xin said firmly.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Qinghuan asked.

"I want to make an agreement with my father that if my performance in this month's exam satisfies him, he will let me keep a cat," said Yu Xin.

Before Gu Qinghuan could speak, Xia He, who had been lying on the table, laughed out loud and said lazily, "Your idea is too naive. The rewards given by the superior to the inferior are all in a moment's thought and can be taken back at any time."

"Even if he agrees, what will you do if he dislikes the cat when you bring it back? Also, the cat is so small, and you are usually not at home because of school. Your mother or the servants may abandon or kill the cat. What can you do when you come back?" Xia He's tone was particularly sharp.

Yu Xin pursed her lips and her face turned pale. She looked at Gu Qinghuan for help, but this time, Gu Qinghuan just looked at her quietly.

"Xinbao, this is your choice. What Xia He said are the problems you will face, and you have to find a solution yourself." Gu Qinghuan said.

"If you can't even think of a solution, no matter how much we help, there may be omissions. By then, it will be too late for you to ask for help."

"In that case, I don't think you would be a suitable owner. I will take the kitten away and find someone who can take good care of it."
