Spell Meow

Although I didn't come back early, I still insisted on calling the sleep I started at six o'clock a nap, and I was woken up on time by the alarm clock and the paw on my face at eight o'clock.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the black cat standing condescendingly on the edge of my pillow and squinting at me, squinting at me with an expression of "Why don't you go down to buy food at your age and you can sleep well."

"I'm not hungry, wait a little longer." I was still a little sleepy, I stretched out my arms to hug him, kissed the cat's head, and dragged him into the bed.

After kissing once, I realized why I often see human beings kissing kittens and puppies. As long as you overcome a little cleanliness, kissing the furry heads of small animals is really addictive.

Shi'er is very cooperative every time. After being pulled down by me, he collapses on the bed motionless like a corpse. After lying on the bed for a while, I rubbed a couple of times on the cat's fluffy and fluffy belly, and then got up to scratch it contentedly. As soon as I started, I planned to go downstairs to eat and bring him food by the way.

Although I try my best to save money on my food expenses, I still enjoy Boss Xinghei's craftsmanship at least once a week, otherwise I feel that life is simply boring.

But it was a coincidence that I came here today. I stepped on my slippers and wore a coat over the home clothes to go to Boss Xinghei's izakaya, and I happened to meet the doctor who came over for dinner.

"Hey, why don't you get off work so early today?" The doctor was wearing a white coat, obviously he just went to the hospital and came here for dinner before the opening of the hospital at night.

It’s just over one kilometer from here in the pet hospital. Since I gave him the izakaya Amway, the owner of Xinghei, the probability of Xinghei’s izakaya appearing on his INS has increased significantly, but because of the difference in working hours between the two of us, I have never been here. It was the first time I bumped into him before.

At first, I thought it would be embarrassing to meet acquaintances with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, but then I thought that as long as I was not embarrassed, it would be someone else, so I immediately became confident, ordered a beef donburi rice bowl for myself, and simply sat next to him: "Yeah, I came back earlier from the field today. Are you eating here? Is your hospital not busy?"

"How can the small pet hospital be so busy every day..." The doctor rolled his eyes, "The most frequent visitor is only your cat, okay? Usually, at most, you can help with vaccinations and baths, so there is no such thing as There are many injuries and patients. Besides, it’s just such a short journey, and if I have something to do, it will take less than 2 minutes for me to ride back directly.”

No wonder you guys still have the heart to dine here.

Thinking of my busy heel hitting the back of my head, I suddenly became subtly envious of this guy's work life.

He seemed to be very energetic, not at all tired from long-term cultivation, and he didn't know how to adjust normally.

The two of us chatted first, and there were not many people eating at this busy time, so after Boss Xinghei served the doctor’s udon noodles, he also joined the topic while making my beef donburi Zhong: "Speaking of which, are you going to get busy again recently?"

I moved to this apartment at about the same time as Boss Xingping, so I can be regarded as the first diner he opened here. He also experienced me following up the junior high school tennis national competition last year, so he probably also realized that I What are you busy with recently, and you are kind enough to increase the amount of my meal without increasing the price.

Thank you, Boss Xingping, you will always be the male god in my heart, and Kimura Ya can never surpass your position in my heart.

But Obana Natsuki can. ?

"I probably won't be free until the end of the national competition..." I sighed, "On the bright side, at least this year I'm in charge of basketball."

"I also watched the live broadcast last year. Now the junior high school students are really amazing..." Boss Xingping also said with emotion: "By the way, I put Shier's rice in the incubator in front. You Just take it with you when you leave. Today is Seafood Rice Bowl, and Kurokiba just bought a batch of good seafood. I took some from him. How about making you a mussel cold soup? You can cheer up on such a hot day—speaking of which, why are you wearing such thick clothes?"

Only then did he realize that I was wrapped in at least two pieces of clothes in this weather, and after being speechless for a moment, he guessed based on my nature: "Aren't you too hot even if you're lazy?"

"Anyway, the air conditioner is turned on at home and here, I can still bear the heat of these few steps..."

With a generous wave of my hand, I was already looking forward to the mussel cold soup he mentioned.

"Ah, speaking of Shier, I also remembered."

The doctor who was scratching his face paused, wiped his mouth and turned his head to ask me, "Have you decided when to find Shier for adoption?"

I fell silent for a while, subconsciously rubbed the chopsticks in my hand with my fingertips, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"An adult cat like him is difficult to adopt, and his size is indeed a bit too big for a cat."

The doctor said without any concealment: Most families may be willing to adopt a 26-pound dog, but few are willing to adopt a 26-pound stray cat.

Cats of this size are not as dangerous to people of any size as cats of normal size.

In addition, he is an adult cat, so the probability of being adopted will be lower. If you plan to help him find a new adopter, it is better to post the adoption news as soon as possible. "

He took a bite of the fried crispy and thin vegetable tempura on the top, chewing slowly while waiting for my answer.

"You want to hand Shier over?"

Boss Xingping, who was even more surprised by the news, looked at me as if he was quite puzzled and asked, "Are you having a conflict?"

"There are conflicts every day..." I told the truth, "but the point is not this. To be honest, I didn't plan to take him in for a long time from the beginning. It was just because he was injured too badly and I brought him back. I don’t feel at ease and responsible for others taking care of others, so I have been taking care of him. But he is almost recovered now, and it is time to let him go.”

"Well..." Boss Xingping showed a thoughtful expression, and then showed a clear look: "Yes, I'm afraid there will be troubles after the two of you continue to be together. That guy has a bad personality, let him leave early It should be a good thing for you."

The doctor and I showed puzzled expressions at the same time.

"Are you so clear about the gossip about the cats around you, Boss Xinghei?" I asked rather shocked.

"You can't say that. I just know a lot about their group of cats, that is, the group of cats with names on their name tags and nothing else."

Hey, so Shier and them are also in the same group? !

"The one in your family is quite famous. After escaping from the house, it has basically been beaten... the cat is invincible, and its personality is also quite bad, that is, it didn't let you see it. In fact, the Wu and Jie you saw last time They were all seriously injured by him.”

Boss Xingping made a bold statement as soon as he uttered: "So they are easy to pinch when they meet. And he has a very restless personality, you should be aware of it? Although it is not easy to send him away, if you have this plan, then I suggest you Send him off early."

I hesitated and asked: "Are you very clear about Shier's origin, Boss Xingping? Didn't you see him for the first time before?"

"Hmm..." Boss Xingping slowed down his hands, and said slowly, as if he was thinking about what to say: "Actually, I only heard his name before I saw him. Later, Jie and Wu found him. It was only after I came here that I realized that you raised Shire."

"Aren't you very aware of gossip between cats?" I complained, and then he aroused my curiosity, and even the doctor next to me seemed to be listening attentively: "And then what?"

"Then—this is your gyudon bowl, please use it slowly."

Immediately, I looked at him with a distorted expression of being dragged out and beaten up halfway through my meal, expressing the meaning of "Are you serious?" with vivid eyes.

"I can't help it. I don't know much about him. Most of the things I heard from others."

Boss Xingping is not very interested in carrying second-hand gossip, but seeing that the doctor and I were depressed at the same time and looked like we couldn't eat, he added: "The one I know best is his native family...it's rubbish. .”

It's the first time I've heard him say the word "garbage" in such an impartial tone.

How trashy is that for you to use this tone of voice to call trash a noun instead of an adjective? !

"There are a lot of cold violence and physical violence. It's a tradition in their family. I don't know the specifics. I only know that the injury you brought Shier back last time was commonplace when he was still in his original family, so he That’s why I ran away from home and never went back.”

I immediately started to play a ups and downs of Shawshank's Redemption cat version in my mind, thinking of the injury he suffered when I first picked him up, and thinking that such injuries may be commonplace for him, I hesitated;

And this time even shaken to the bottom line that I have never changed my goal.

It seems that he probably understands how he honed his proficient pleasing skills...

This is too pitiful, if you can't treat your pet well, then don't keep it!And what is tradition? !Is this kind of abuse/abuse still traditional? ?What kind of abnormal family is this? ?

The doctor also fell silent, and broke the silence by speaking again after finishing his speech in silence.

"If this is the case, then I don't really recommend that you adopt him again."

He said: "After such an injury, it is not easy for animals to re-establish contact with humans. Although I don't know why Shier can get along with you so easily, but after he becomes dependent on you Adopting him out again after that would probably hit the cat harder than before."

"While it's presumably human ego gratification to put this set on animals, there's a huge difference between being hurt by never being loved, and getting hurt again after feeling loved."

I never thought that I would hear such sentimental words from Zhou Papi's mouth.

"It's not easy for a cat like him to accept another owner, and it's not easy to establish a relationship with someone other than you... If you still want to adopt him, I don't mind. But for Shier, Staying with you is probably the best choice."

After he finished speaking, he put down the money and put it under the bowl and said to Boss Xingping: "I'm sorry to bother you today, Boss Xingping. If you make up your mind, please contact me, Miss Tianyuan. It's reasonable for you to do something to Shier It is enough, no matter what choice you make in the end, I will do my best to help you."

Before going out, he still applied a patch: "Within the free range."

Facing his back, I was quite speechless: "Can't you just say something that destroys the atmosphere?"

"It's my rule to try not to leave anything behind."

"Why do you feel like you have done something illegal and have been caught by someone?"

Boss Xingping made up the last complaint.
