[073] Downpour
Having said this, Dr. Zhao praised Shu Sha very much.
"Xiaoye, your squad leader, come to the pet hospital as a volunteer whenever you have time, and help the sick stray dogs get intravenous drips!"
"You come here very frequently! There were several times when you came in right after she left. It was only a matter of time before we bumped into each other. I didn't expect you two to know each other!"
"You both like dogs, and you usually have a good relationship in school, right?"
Shusha's face turned red. I thought she was going to deny that we had a good relationship, but it turned out that what she denied was something else:
"I don't come that often, I just happened to meet you today..."
Doctor Zhao shook his head and said, "Still not diligent? Sometimes he comes three times a week!"
With Shusha's busy schedule, it's really not easy to come three times a week. I can't help but admire her even more.
Shusha was very embarrassed, as if I had seen something secret that she shouldn't have seen.
At this time, an old man who took a cat to see a doctor came to the hospital. Dr. Zhao greeted him and had no time to take care of Shusha and me for the time being.
Shusha didn't say a word to me, and I felt awkward sitting next to her.
I had nothing to say and asked: "Isn't it almost dinner time now? You don't have to go home to cook for your brother?"
Shusha was silent for a while, probably trying to decide whether to answer me. Finally, she sighed and said:
"My brother went to celebrate a good friend's birthday, so I don't need to prepare dinner today."
After a pause, he said with a slightly lonely tone:
"Not only today, another good friend of his also celebrated his birthday yesterday, and he also didn't have dinner at home. Although I am very happy that he has many good friends, but if I am the only one at home, I will never be in the mood to cook too rich a meal. Tonight
I’ll probably cook some noodles too.”
Good friend? I think she’s a girlfriend? How did you get so many birthdays together? Your poor sister is still kept in the dark!
Maybe it was because I sat here alone for too long, and Xiao Ding next to me was not a good communication partner, so once I opened my mouth, we started chatting naturally.
"I felt lonely at home, so I went downstairs to spend time with these homeless dogs without owners. As small as this Spot is, and it's sick, it must be lonelier than me if there's no one to accompany it, right?"
For a monitor with such a high level of consciousness, I couldn't say anything high-hat, so I could only nod silently in agreement.
"By the way, Ye Lin, Dr. Zhao said you also like dogs, is it true?"
The tone seemed curious.
In fact, I not only like dogs, but I also like cats, but how can I, a grown man, like these furry animals? Wouldn’t I be looked down upon by the class monitor? So I said “cut” in a very disdainful tone.
replied:
"Who would like those things! Don't listen to Dr. Zhao's nonsense, I just came here to play Dota with Xiao Ding!"
In fact, Xiao Ding won't take me to play Dota, because I am what he calls "the dish B", and whoever takes me will lose.
The monitor didn't quite believe what I said, so he turned his attention back to the Dalmatian and gently stroked the puppy's thin back, hoping to make it sleep more peacefully.
I grew up in a single family, and I don’t know what maternal love is. If maternal love really exists, it should exist in Shusha’s gentle eyes when she looks at the puppy, right?
"Hey, monitor, if you like dogs so much, why don't you raise one at home?"
The monitor sighed and replied:
"No, we can't keep pets at home because we already have a younger brother."
"Eh? Where do you start talking about this?"
"That's it...although my brother is very kind to pets in front of me, but once I'm not at home, he will abuse them..."
I accidentally heard about Shu Zhe's bad deeds again! This guy pretends to be good in front of him, but he is nothing in the back. Sooner or later, we have to find a way to deal with him.
"Ye Lin." The monitor suddenly turned to me and asked, "Do you boys like to torture animals?"
Maybe Shu Zhe argued with his sister that it is a man's nature to abuse animals, so that's why the monitor asked this question?
I really can't think of any reason why I would abuse animals. Not only that, if I saw others abusing animals, I would probably step forward to stop them.
Maybe it's selfish. I'm obviously an atheist, but I hope that the puppy in heaven will look at me, an unqualified owner, and make it feel better when I save its kind.
Even now, I'm afraid to see the puppy's expression of pain.
Take the spot on the monitor's leg, for example. It would occasionally twitch in its sleep, revealing its purple gums. Sometimes it would open its eyes, and its black eyes seemed to be staring at something that did not belong to the world.
It is the god of death that is getting closer and closer.
Its expression gradually overlapped with that of my dead puppy. I trembled in my heart and quickly turned my head away, fearing that Shusha would see the tears in my eyes.
Shusha exclaimed "Huh", thinking that her never-faulty eyesight saw something that shouldn't exist.
"You...you actually cried?"
"Stop...don't be joking! It's just sand in my eyes! Only women can cry!"
I retorted stubbornly, turned around and blocked Shusha's sight with my back. I couldn't let her see my face. If she saw my face, no matter how much I retorted, she would become weak.
Shusha didn't delve into this issue any further, which saved my face, and I'm a little grateful to her.
Moreover, her tone when she spoke to me later was not as hostile as before.
However, when they talked, they mostly focused on the class and her brother, and rarely talked about her personal hobbies.
One moment he said that Gong Caicai was too timid and should be exercised to avoid not adapting to society in the future, and the other moment he said that it was really worrying that Xiao Qin had been frail and sick since she was a child.
I think you don’t need to worry about these two people. Gong Caicai is fair and beautiful, and has a not bad personality. From now on, there will be people competing to take care of her. As for Ren Xiaoqin, she is basically a Super Saiyan hidden among the people on earth.
, you are worrying too much about her physique!
When the conversation changed, the squad leader advised me not to bully Xiaoqin all the time. Although I don’t know what happened to you two childhood sweethearts, but if you don’t help her, what kind of hero do you think you are if you bully others all day long?
The squad leader's words touched on my sore point. I wanted to defend myself but felt it was really embarrassing, so I had to say "yes" several times in a perfunctory manner.
Speaking of his younger brother, although the squad leader occasionally complained, he was generally very proud.
I couldn’t help but show off to me the various honors my brother had won in elementary school, such as fifth place in the provincial Mathematical Olympiad competition, second place in the vocal competition, three good students, etc...
All in all, the monitor believes that his younger brother is ten times smarter than him and will definitely become a great talent in the future.
After hearing this, I really didn’t know what to say, so I wanted to tell the truth and tell the squad leader to be careful about my white-eyed brother. But when I saw the bright look in the squad leader’s eyes when he talked about his younger brother, I swallowed the words that came to my lips.
We didn't know how long we chatted, and the sky outside became darker and darker, and I didn't even notice until the clouds were overcast.
When the puppy finally finished the intravenous drip and Shusha said goodbye to Dr. Zhao and was about to go home, I realized it was raining outside.
At first, there were just a few raindrops, but in a blink of an eye, there were lightning and thunder, and it turned into the heavy downpour warned in the weather forecast.
"Oh, why is it raining so heavily!" Dr. Zhao frowned and said, "I can't separate myself and can't drive you home! Why didn't you bring an umbrella, Xiaoye? Shusha did bring one. You two can hold one.
Think of a way to use your umbrella!"
I saw that Dr. Zhao was in a hurry with the dishonest sick cat, so I said to Xiao Ding who was standing next to him and was doing the trick:
"Why isn't there even an extra umbrella in the hospital? Lend it to me first, and I'll return two of them to you later!"
Xiao Ding blushes when he sees female students and is quite tough when talking to men.
He looked dumbfounded at me and scolded me with a smile: "Bad guy! I won't lend you an umbrella even if I have one!"
He also put a hand on my shoulder and said to me seriously: "Senior brother, I can only help you up to this point!"
Who is your junior brother! Are you out of your mind? You actually want to bring me and Shusha together? Although we two temporarily reconciled thanks to Wang Xingren, we are two completely different people after all!
Walking outside the hospital, she hid under the rainproof eaves and watched the smoky pouring rain. Shusha looked at the small black folding umbrella in her hand, and then at me standing aside with empty hands, looking very embarrassed.
Come on.
"Ye Lin, how far is your home from here?"
"My home? It's a 15-minute walk. Monitor, don't worry about me. I'll take a taxi home in a minute. This small umbrella is not big enough for two people, so you go first!"
"No! You can't take a taxi in this kind of weather. If you catch a cold in the shower, I, as the monitor, am also responsible..."
As she spoke, she handed over the folding umbrella.
"You take my umbrella and leave first. My house is very close. You can just walk through the community behind it. I will stay at Dr. Zhao's place for a while and wait for the rain to subside before leaving..."
"Who wants your umbrella? If you catch a cold and get sick because of this, I will be even more embarrassed when I get to school!"
Maybe they saw the two of us pushing back and forth through the glass door. Dr. Zhao and Xiao Ding had evil smiles on their faces and they didn't know what bad things they were saying about me.
I thought I was already stubborn enough, but I didn't expect Shusha to be even more stubborn than me. She wouldn't let me go unless I took her umbrella.
I habitually put my hand into my trouser pocket to find something, but I touched a piece of smooth printing paper.
Suddenly I remembered what I was going to do today. Didn’t I still have a coupon for a discounted package for two?
I looked at my watch and it was already 6:30. Normally I would have had dinner at this time.
How about taking Shusha to dinner together, which can not only solve the problem of food and clothing, but also provide shelter from the rain. Maybe the rain will stop after dinner.
This is forced by the situation. Shusha shouldn't get it wrong, right?
It happened that Shusha handed the umbrella to me for the twentieth time, hoping that I would take it.
I was so angry and funny that I grabbed the umbrella and pinched it with her fingers.
Chapter completed!
