Chapter 3
When the key was inserted/entered the door, there was a slight sound of metal clashing.
A voice came from outside the door: "My house is relatively small and messy, but it is more than enough to support one and I plus two cats."
Xie Ting felt that the boy next to him let out a casual "hmm", and shrugged helplessly.
He raised his hand to turn on the wall lamp, and almost instinctively caught a moving thing—an orange cat that jumped out of the closet.At the same time, his left foot moved slightly to the right, staggering his steps, and just missed stepping on a cat sleeping next to the shoe cabinet.
Xie Ting lightly kicked the cat lying on the ground, a little helpless but said with imperceptible pampering: "Xiang Mushroom, next time you sleep here, you will be trampled by me." He was short, and his gray-blue eyes were slightly squinted at this time, apparently as if someone had disturbed his dream.It gave a somewhat dissatisfied "meow" at Xie Ting, and continued to lie on the ground, preparing for another sleep.
Yan Jin could barely walk when she saw the cat, and the slightest sense of alienation on her face disappeared completely.
"Is his name Xianggu? What a...interesting name." Yan Jin praised against his will.
Xie Ting was putting the cat food I just bought last night into the small cabinet, "Yeah, don't you think his head looks like a mushroom?"
The cat lying on the ground raised its mushroom head and snorted, obviously dissatisfied with his master's pet name that lacks aesthetics.
Yan Jin squatted down and stared at the mushroom, then raised her head and asked, "Can I touch it?"
Xie Ting smiled, "Of course, but you have to be careful, Shiitake is a bit fierce to people you don't know. Try not to touch his head and neck, he will scratch people when he is in a bad mood."
Yan Jin carefully placed his hand on the back of the mushroom, and gently smoothed his hair.This British shorthair is obviously taken care of by the owner very well. The beautiful gray-blue fur has no knots at all, and it doesn't feel sticky to the touch. The whole cat looks moist and smooth.
Shiitake obviously felt that the hand on his back made him very comfortable, so he turned over to expose his soft belly and "meowed" at Yan Jin, obviously enjoying it very much.
After putting away his things, Xie Ting came out with two sticks of catnip, just in time to see the shiitake mushroom showing its belly, and said with some surprise: "Huh? Why is the shiitake mushroom so obedient today? Usually I scratch him. It must, it must be that he likes you very much."
"How do you know?" Yan Jin's voice was tinged with joy, he took the catnip stick in Xie Ting's hand, and while feeding it to the cat, he gently scratched the soft belly of the mushroom.
Xie Ting turned around to clean the litter box, and while shoveling out the caked cat litter, said to Xie Ting: "If he is willing to let you touch his belly, it means that he really likes you."
He paused, "Keeping a cat is really troublesome. You have to feed him, clean his litter box, check them regularly, bathe them, and vaccinate them regularly , otherwise it will be very troublesome if you are caught or bitten."
He raised his head and looked at Yan Jin who was seriously playing with the two cats.The light from the orange wall lamp gently spread over his face with stretched brows and eyes, adding a sense of softness and tranquility to that handsome face.
He is really like the person he can't let go of.
Yan Jin suddenly raised his head as if he had installed a brainwave sensor, and his eyes met Xie Ting who was looking at him.Xie Ting quickly turned his face away, and seriously scooped up the cat litter: "They call you Xiaojin, can I call you the same?"
He continued: "Owning a pet requires responsibility. You can't treat them as disposable toys. Look at those stray cats. But it's really good to have a cat, just like a good friend. If you can feed it, feed it."
He poured the cat litter into the small bucket, "Well, at your age, learning should be the most important thing, but I don't think it's a waste of time to have a pet."
Yan Jin propped up her chin with one hand, and stroked the mushroom with the other, as if she was thinking seriously.After the shiitake mushroom licked the catnip, he probably wasn't full, so he turned over in resentment.
Yan Jinzheng squinted slightly, and accidentally touched the head of the mushroom.Shiitake shrieked, leaving three bloodstains on Yan Jin's hand.
Yan Jin subconsciously withdrew his hands, Xianggu realized that he had caused trouble, and quickly jumped from Yan Jin's lap onto the cabinet.
Xie Ting heard the noise over there, walked over and asked a little nervously: "Did the mushroom catch you? Is the skin broken?"
Xie Ting took Yan Jin's hand. The fingers of that hand were slender, the back of the hand was fair, and the three scratch marks on it formed a sharp contrast with the skin. "You must not have been vaccinated, let's go, I will take you to the hospital. The vaccine is effective within 24 hours."
Yan Jin withdrew her hand uncomfortably, looked down at her hand, "It's fine, I'll go alone."
Xie Ting's face was a little serious, and he turned his head and put on his coat.
"Let's go, if it's later, I'm afraid the hospital will be closed." Yan Jin had no choice but to follow behind him step by step.
"Hey, Xiao Jin, why haven't you come back yet? Where are you? Mister is waiting for you to eat." It was Aunt Wang who was working at home.
"Aunt Wang, I, I'm in the First Affiliated Hospital of N University."
The female voice on the other end seemed a little worried, and asked with concern: "Why did you go to the hospital? Are you all right?"
"It's nothing serious, I was accidentally caught by a cat. I'll be fine with an injection later. Tell Yan Donghai not to wait, I'll go tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Donghai's voice came from the other side: "Let him go! He's always playing with cats and dogs, he should have thought of this day..."
Yan Donghai's voice was so loud that Xie Ting, who was standing next to his mobile phone without the speakerphone on, could hear it too.
Xie Ting was helping Yan Jin press the needle hole left by the vaccine. He waited until Yan Jin put down the phone and thought for a while before opening his mouth: "Xiao Jin...that, is that your father... "
Yan Jin didn't speak, but raised her head after a while, forced a smile and said, "After the fight, I won't drop in with you, I like your cat very much, can I go next time?"
Xie Ting saw how far-fetched he was, and said with a smile: "Of course, Shiitake will welcome you very much." Yan Jin blinked, with the corners of his eyes slightly bent, "Can the handsome guy give you a WeChat message?" Xie Ting raised his eyebrows : "Little comrade, my WeChat account is very expensive, 100 yuan each."
Yan Jin smiled and said, "No problem, add WeChat first and then transfer money!"
Xie Ting opened the WeChat QR code and added Yan Jin.
Xie Ting looks like a good student, and his WeChat avatar is also cleanly blank.
"Thank you..." Yan Jin raised his eyes to look at the young man in front of him, and said with a broken smile, "I don't know him anymore."
"Xie...Ting. My name is Xie Ting."
"My name is Yan Jin. Nice to meet you. You... are very interesting."
The two walked to the hospital gate in a blink of an eye, Xie Ting got into a taxi, and waved to Yan Jin: "Let's go." Yan Jin also waved to him, and walked to the pet shop in the university city by herself—
"Boss, I still want that puppet cat, and I want it now."
"Kid, are you sure? Our cats are not easy to return after they are sold."
"Well, have you been vaccinated? Bring me some cat food and cat litter, but I can afford it."
The boss's wrinkled face smiled brightly, and it bloomed into a golden chrysanthemum on the spot.
Half an hour later, Yan Jin arrived at the dormitory at the back of the school with a space bag on her back and various bags of things in her hands.
He laid out the puppet's nest, and put away the water and food.Only then did he take out his phone and send a photo of the puppet to "Jinger Mushroom".Sure enough, there was an immediate reply——
"??? You still raised it? Why don't you listen to persuasion, you unlucky child? Do you live in the school dormitory alone?"
"Yes, but I don't live in the school dormitory, I live in the house behind the school. I have a house here."
Xie Ting on the other side was secretly stunned, saying that this little kid really has a lot of money.The slender fingers typed quickly: "Then who will take care of it? Raising a cat is very troublesome."
The reply over there was also fast: "Of course it's you."
Xie Ting was a little funny: "When did I tell you to take care of the cat?"
"Then I have to raise him for a few days and throw him away. Didn't you also say that stray cats are very pitiful?"
"Yes, then why did you buy it?" Xie Ting felt a little headache.
"Of course I like it. Why don't I buy it if I don't like it?" Yan Jin sent him two "pitiful" enjoyments. "I'll deliver it to your house this weekend."
"Thank you handsome guy, please save this poor kitten, no matter how you say it, it's still a life~"
"I'll give you the care fee, is five thousand a month enough?"
Now it was Xie Ting's turn to get angry, and he sent a voice message directly to Yan Jin: "Is it because of money that I don't give you a cat? It's agreed, you should think carefully about it. Okay, I have a life in front of my eyes. It has to be rescued. But weekends and winter and summer vacations are not allowed to be placed with me."
Yan Jin also sent him a voice message: "Brother Ting, I'm sorry just now, I was too superficial. I want to keep this cat with you as soon as I buy it. I will take him back on weekends. Hehe, little The cat’s name hasn’t been chosen yet. I have to say that Mr. Xie’s name-naming skills are too advanced, and my little brother can’t match it.”
"Hey, are you complimenting me or hurting me? Let me tell you first, I'm going to work tomorrow, and it's not my fault that your cat is hungry and thin."
"Being thin is the cat's own problem, how can it be blamed on you."
Xie Ting could feel Yan Jin's nodding and bowing smile through the mobile phone, he suddenly became in a good mood, and gave gingerbread an extra "Cat's Fresh Meat" - the shiitake mushroom didn't have a share because it was a mess today.
Xie Ting sorted out the materials and started to write the lesson plan for tomorrow's class.At 01:30 in the morning, I finally finished preparing the lesson plans, and picked up the phone to check the time.But unexpectedly found that "jade (晋)" is still online——
Jade (晋) is Yan Jin's little brat, Xie Ting looked at the name with a smile on his face, probably because he was afraid that others would not recognize the English meaning, Yan Jin also put parentheses behind it to explain.
Xie Ting looked at that name, as if looking at something else through it.The screen of the phone turned on and off, and when the screen was about to turn off for the third time, Xie Ting finally sent a sentence: "Why are you still awake?"
The other end quickly returned a message: "playing games."
"Don't do your homework?"
"Writing or not writing makes the same difference to me."
"It seems that your grades must be very good. When I was in high school, our class monitor also played games every day."
"nonono, it's too bad. The result is the same whether you do homework or not."
Xie Ting was almost overwhelmed by his brazen and self-conscious remarks.He sincerely hopes that there will be fewer students like him in his class tomorrow, preferably none.
"You play slowly, I'm asleep, and I have to go to work tomorrow. I don't want to be late for work for the first time."
After Yan Jin replied "Good night", he stared at the note he changed to Xie Ting on the phone, "Xie Xiaojun", and lost several games.Yan Jin simply put the phone aside and buried her head with the quilt.Accidentally touched the hand caught by the mushroom, the pain caused him to hiss for a long time, and soon fell asleep.
