Tong Yao was looking at the little kitten lying next to her hand and figured that Lu Sicheng wasn’t here to pick her up but to prevent her from stealing a kitten…...She mindlessly replied to the pet shop worker: “You got it wrong, he’s my co-worker, not my boyfriend-- --”
Lu Sicheng happened to push the door open and walk in just then and hear Tong Yao’s denial.
His hand paused on the door. Tong Yao was looking down and didn’t see him. When she raised her head up, Lu Sicheng had already removed the expression on his face and was standing right in front of Tong Yao with a poker face. He took a look at the kitten next to her, the expression on his face somehow became even more inscrutable: “Didn’t you come here to get Dabing a bath?”
“......I am.”
Tong Yao pointed towards the back. Lu Sicheng looked in the direction where she was pointing and could see a struggling Ragdoll cat through the transparent glass window…...His facial expression relaxed a bit. He looked back and pointed at the kitten next to Tong Yao with his chin: “Why is Xu Tailun’s cat with you?”
“I happened to see you know that person who went out with him.” Tong Yao thought about it and didn’t know how to address that young lady: “You know, his that person. She took the kitten here to see the vet-- --They probably thought it had feline distemper like all weak cats, but the blood test shows the kitten just has the common cold……”
Tong Yao grabbed the blood test report on the desk to show him. Lu Sicheng took a glance without checking the details.
“This is why you plan to steal-- --”
Before he could finish his sentence, Tong Yao nervously covered his mouth-- --Lu
Sicheng cast his eyes down at her. His cold stare made Tong Yao rather embarrassed and she withdrew her hand. She rubbed her hands against each other and said uneasily: “Don’t say it out loud. The staff here would think that I’d really do that…...I’m just thinking that Xu Tailun and her don’t really want to raise the cat, nor know how, so why bother. If they had the kitten tested for feline distemper right after they bought it, then they didn’t need to bring the kitten to see a vet just for a cold. It hasn't gotten inoculated yet and it’s fragile against the germs in the hospital. A minor cold can be treated simply by keeping it warm and feeding it Synulox. Even the vet will only prescribe canned L-lysine for the common cold. How could they bring the kitten here? I asked the vet and the kitten doesn’t have a serious diarrhea problem either. They even asked the vet to give the kitten a shot. What does such a little kitten need a shot for-- --”
Lu Sicheng continued silently staring down at Tong Yao who had begun seriously nagging about raising a cat with furrowed brows.
He didn’t interrupt her.
Though he didn’t understand much of what she was saying, he didn’t really care about raising a kitten……
Lu Sicheng just quietly looked at her until she had finished all she wanted to say. Then he lightly said: “But this is somebody else’s cat now.”
“......” Tong Yao frowned again and suddenly lowered her voice: “I know. I can’t really steal it.”
Lu Sicheng paused for a moment.
He lifted his head to look beyond Tong Yao, then bluntly changed the subject: “How much longer for Dabing?”
Tong Yao took a look at Dabing, who was still struggling with the handler as if taking a bath would kill it, and relaxed her eyebrows a little. She looked at the clock in the shop and slightly sighed: “Who knows. They have to brush its hair afterwards, probably a little over an hour.”
