Dr. Gu reminds me every now and then to take Wait a Minute and go for a run with him. He doesn’t chat with me much; he just takes the leash and runs ahead with Wait a Minute.
Dr. Gu is friendly. A few days ago, I received a message from an online friend asking for help to rescue a stray puppy stuck in a sewer. We managed to save the puppy, but it scratched my inner thigh pretty badly. The wound was deep, and when I went to the hospital to get it treated, I screamed in pain. Every step pulled at the wound, more painful than the Little Mermaid’s plight.
I walked with my legs apart to a nearby park and handed the leash over to Dr. Gu. Today, the two of them were playing frisbee. I sat on a bench soaking up the sun, ordered coffee for takeout, and started scrolling through comments from online friends.
“Tuan Tuan hasn’t eaten for three minutes; look how hungry he is.”
“Running downstairs must be quite a shock…”
“Hahahahaha…”
I was enjoying the comments when suddenly a shadow loomed over me. I looked up to see Dr. Gu standing in front of me against the light, holding Wait a Minute’s frisbee.
“Coffee?”
“Dr. Gu, American style?” I handed him another cup.
He took the Americano and glanced at my cup.
“What do you have?”
“Butter latte. Want to swap? I haven’t had a sip yet.” I offered him my drink.
He took the coffee and, right in front of me, took a sip from one cup.
?!
"Are there still two shots left for the vaccine?"
"Yes."
"It's best not to drink coffee during the vaccine period."
"That so-called coffee is more like coffee-flavored milk."
"Follow the doctor's advice."
Alright, I guess I'll just order some milk tea later.
"Don't even think about milk tea. If you want your wound to heal faster, you can ask me on WeChat what you can eat before your shots."
"Oh, okay." How does he know I want to order milk tea?
Wait a minute, should I consult the veterinarian about this?
I walked back with a sense of detachment, and on the way, I ran into Aunt Zhang from my neighborhood.
"Shishi, you need to rest well."
She looked me over with warmth and concern.
"Yes, thank you, Auntie. I will."
"Oh dear, what do you think your parents would say?"
She clicked her tongue and hurried to catch up with two other ladies who were going for a walk.
"The girl from the the Li Family?"
"Yes! Nowadays, young people will do anything."
"What happened? What's going on?"
"I heard she got sterilized to avoid marriage. Just look at how she's walking; she just had the procedure done a few days ago."
"Oh my!"
The voices were low but carried a strong impact.
"Wait a minute, are they talking about me?"
Wait a minute was exhausted and silent.
How ridiculous.
Who said that uncles and aunts have conservative views?
They didn’t mention it, but I hadn’t thought of this one-time solution myself.
It turns out that "the conservatives think the radicals are too conservative."
When I got home, I posted this little incident on my account.
My radical Cyber friends certainly didn’t disappoint,
"Feeling sorry for a second, then hahahahaha!"
"So did Shishi get spayed or not?"
"When we castrate cattle and horses, don’t we need to find a Veterinarian? Hahahahaha..."
Watching everyone tease and joke around, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
A WeChat message popped up.
"Save Your Dog's Life: Is there anything you want to eat? Thanks for the coffee earlier."
"I replied: Any of the options in the dietary restrictions section is fine."
"Save Your Dog's Life: ..." "Save Your Dog's Life: I’m on duty tonight, I’ll leave the stuff at my sister’s shop, remember to pick it up."
"I said: Grateful.jpg"
"Save Your Dog's Life: Don’t pay too much attention to what others say."
He must have seen my new video and thought I was upset.
