When Shen Wei received the call and rushed to the pet hospital in a hurry, Su Xingmang sat blankly on the chair in the corridor, the steamed bun was still in his arms, but his body had already started to freeze.

Shen Wei walked over and hugged Su Xingmang's shoulders, then stretched out his hands cautiously, trying to take the steamed bun from his arms.

Su Xingmang shook his hand first, then froze, and let him take the steamed bun, and the tears that he had endured for a long time finally fell: "I'm sorry...it's all my fault...I should put it back in the cat cage before opening the screen window... ..."

"Don't blame yourself, no one thought that this kind of thing would happen." Shen Wei comforted softly, "Mantou probably won't blame you, it will only blame itself for being too careless."

Su Xingmang's tears burst even more: "I was too careless...I might...all my thoughts were on that nest of birds at that time...I don't even know when the steamed buns...what is it? It's time to jump there...and when did I fall down the stairs...I don't know..."

Shen Wei sat down beside him holding the steamed bun, and kissed his tear-wet face.

Su Xingmang also wiped his face indiscriminately: "I was only thinking about what to do if the little chicks lost their mother...but the cats at home lost their mothers..."

"Yeah, the cats have lost their mothers..." Shen Wei's kiss paused, "So we...we should go back and take good care of those kittens."

Holding the steamed bun in one hand, he was busy wiping Su Xingmang's tears with the other. When he calmed down a little, he hooked him up and said, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Su Xingmang was suddenly afraid to go home, he had no face to face those kittens.

"Let's give Mantou a home first."

Because he was reluctant to cremate the steamed bun, Shen Wei found the best pet cemetery in the city, and after the corpse was harmlessly treated, it was buried deeply.

With tears in his eyes, Su Xingmang buried the steamed bun with Shen Wei himself. He watched Shen Wei stretch out his hand and caressed the small tombstone back and forth, and listened to him gently say to the tombstone: "This place is very close to home, and the environment is superb. Well, I think you will like this new home very much, right? The only downside here is that it’s too quiet, but you don’t have to be afraid, your father Su and I will often come back to visit you with the cubs..."

Su Xingmang looked at Shen Wei's side face and choked speechlessly, seeing that he turned his face away and went silent for a moment after saying this sentence, he felt even more sad.

The moment Shen Wei turned his head away, Su Xingmang clearly saw the tears in his eyes.

But Shen Wei quickly turned his head again, patted the tombstone solemnly, then withdrew his hand, wrapped his arms around Su Xingmang's shoulders, and said, "I haven't had time to have a showdown with my family, and I received a call from you." I came here in a hurry, but don’t worry, I have the confidence to do their job well.”

Su Xingmang said softly: "It's okay, don't worry."

He didn't want to ask about this topic. At this time, Shen Wei mentioned it to make him feel at ease, but it made his tears grow more violent.

After returning home, the two first asked a professional master to deal with the bird's nest in the gap under the outer unit of their air conditioner.

After the master arrived at the scene, he checked it and said, "Hey, not only is there below, but there is also a bird's nest inside the air conditioner!"

"Is there any more in there? Are there any birds in the nest?"

"Yes, they are all chicks." The master then asked again, "You won't be turning on the air conditioner in the near future, will you?"

"No air conditioner, what's wrong?"

"If you don't turn on the air conditioner in a short time, or keep this bird's nest for now, don't dig it out, I'll get this dead bird out first." The master's voice came from below.

"What? Why didn't you dig out the bird's nest?"

"These little chicks can't fly yet. Now that they have taken out their nests, they are homeless and can only wait to die. Anyway, you are not in a hurry to turn on the air conditioner now. Let them keep their homes first, and wait until they can fly. I’ll make a bird’s nest after that.” Afraid that the two would not agree, the master raised his head and smiled at them, “Besides, people have said that if there are birds building nests at home or outside the window, it means that the family’s Fengshui is good.”

Good Feng Shui?Su Xingmang was silent.I just killed my cat because of my negligence. Is this good Feng Shui?

Shen Wei asked the master back: "But the mother bird is dead, even if you don't destroy the bird's nest, these little chicks can't support themselves, right?"

The master was stunned: "That's right. So what should we do? Listen to you, do you think this bird's nest should be smashed or not?"

As a result of the final discussion, the mother bird's body was properly disposed of, the two bird nests were destroyed and cleaned up, and the two nestlings were sent to the room. Shen Wei also asked Xiao Runbo to quickly buy enough bird cages to send them over. , intending to raise these little birds until they are full-fledged and can survive independently before releasing them.

In the next few days, both Su Xingmang and Shen Wei avoided mentioning steamed buns as much as possible. Shen Wei took on the task of raising birds, while Su Xingmang just tried his best to be nice to those kittens, spending almost all of his free time on them. It's all spent on them.

But every afternoon, Su Xingmang would carry the viola on his back, saying that he would go out for a while, and then he would not come back until evening.

Shen Wei asked him what he was doing with his viola on his back once, but he didn't say anything, and he never asked again after that.But he was always puzzled, because Su Xingmang usually teaches both violin and viola, but after all, the number of violin learners is far greater than that of viola students, not to mention that he seldom teaches students in person, but suddenly recited Viola's going out is really an anomaly.

In a blink of an eye, it was the first seven days of Mantou. The two originally planned to take a few kittens to visit Mantou at the pet cemetery on the first seven days, but later changed their minds and decided to stay at home obediently all day long, not going anywhere. go.

Because it is said that the dead pet will come back to visit the owner during the first seven days, and then reincarnate after the first seven days.

Early in the morning, Su Xingmang woke up from his sleep, and caught a glimpse of Shen Wei beside him lying on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze, with obvious tears in the corners of his eyes.

But Su Xingmang ignored him, and just got out of bed as soon as he turned over, and ran down the stairs to the desk before he even had time to put on his slippers.

"What's the matter, Old Su?" Shen Wei also came down with his bare feet.

Su Xingmang pulled down the viola bag hanging on the wall next to the desk, opened it in a hurry, took it out, fixed the shoulder rest, picked up the rosin and wanted to rub it on the bow, but gave up on this link, and directly clamped the violin on the bow. On the neck, there is a posture that is about to start playing immediately.

"Old Su—"

"Shh-"

Su Xingmang's eyes and voice at this time were signaling him to keep quiet, so he had no choice but to shut up. Although he couldn't figure out why he suddenly started playing like a dazed man, he could only be a quiet listener.

Su Xingmang played in the direction of Mao Villa, a piece that Shen Wei had never heard before.The tone of the viola is not as sharp, bright and high-pitched as the violin, but it is bright and clear enough to match this piece, and it is also thicker and warmer.Although he didn't know what the song was called, he thought of the scenes of being with Mantou all these years for no reason.

He burst into tears as he listened.

He hasn't cried for the steamed buns in front of Su Xingmang in the past few days, because he is afraid that his old Su will blame himself and feel guilty, but now, he really can't help it...

Through his tearful eyes, he could see that Su Xingmang, who was playing the viola in front of him, was also teary-eyed. He seemed to have seen Mantou come back, looking at them both motionlessly, as if he was also enjoying the piece of music...

I don't know how long it took, the music gradually stopped, and there were no dogs barking, cats barking or birds singing in the room at this time, and there were only two people in the air who tried their best to hold back the slightly disordered breath from crying.

After a long time, Su Xingmang finally put down the viola, glanced at the Mao Villa again, and said softly to Shen Wei: "I just dreamed about steamed buns, I dreamed that it jumped on our bed and bid farewell to us, it is in your arms After rubbing against me for a long time, it rubbed back and forth on me again, then it ran down the stairs to look at Huanxixi, and finally leaned on the cat cage and meowed inside for a long time, before turning back step by step to the direction of the screen window Let's go... I woke up in a start, thinking that I must let it hear this song before it leaves..."

Shen Weizheng gave Su Xingmang a hand that was holding a tissue to wipe his tears, then gently wiped away his tears before saying: "I dreamed about it too, it must have come back...and must have heard You played this piece."

Only then did Su Xingmang recall the tear stains on Shen Wei's face when he opened his eyes just now, and he also reached out to wipe Shen Wei's face: "It shouldn't hate me, right? Otherwise, it won't treat me when it comes back. So affectionate."

"Well, it must have come back to tell us that it is fine, so we don't have to worry about it. It also wants to tell you that it doesn't blame you, let alone hate you. Don't be too sad." Shen Wei echoed.

He had never believed this before, but now, even though he knew that they might just be thinking about it day and night, he would rather believe that Mantou really came back to see them on the first seven days.

He asked Su Xingmang again: "You have been carrying the viola out these days just to practice this piece, and you want to play it for it on the day of Mantoutouqi?"

His family's old Su didn't read the score at all just now, and just played the whole piece like a cloud!

Su Xingmang nodded: "Well, I practiced a lot, but I didn't expect to play it for Mantou in such a sudden situation. I hope it really heard it."

"It must have heard it." Shen Wei emphasized again, and asked again, "What's the name of this piece? I've never heard it before, but it's very nice."

"Lin Hai's "Mimi" was originally a piano piece, but I changed it to viola."

"Mimi? Is it really a song for cats?"

"Well, it is said that the author has really raised a cat for several years, and then the cat died of illness, so he wrote a whole album for the cat, the album name is "Cat", this song "Mimi" is considered The style of the prelude is fairly peaceful. The following songs are heavy, some are sad, and some are dark. I didn’t want to listen to Mantou, so I chose the prelude "Mimi."

Seeing that Su Xingmang's tears were coming out of his eyes again, Shen Wei quickly hugged him and went upstairs again: "You are so good at choosing songs, this song really makes me feel like meeting Mantou again when I listen to it. I also Thanks to Mantou, this is the first time I heard you play a piece of viola in its entirety. Not to mention, the viola really matches this piece perfectly, if you change it to violin, the feeling might be different."

"Well, I also think the viola is more suitable."

In the middle of the night, Su Xingmang woke up Shen Wei again: "Weiwei, I dreamed about steamed buns again, and it left happily."
