"Respectable, I wonder if he was scared when he did the procedure," I murmured softly.
"Scared of what? Looking at his own pain?" Gu Lan asked, puzzled.
I was even more confused; something about that statement didn't quite add up.
Gu Lan paused for a moment and then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Next time he comes to the shop, you should ask him if he was scared."
"Uh? Oh, okay."
"He's a Veterinarian; when I said 'doing the procedure,' I meant neutering! Hahaha!"
She couldn't stop laughing.
Ah... that kind of procedure.
Thank goodness only Sister Lan Lan was present; otherwise, I would have definitely made a scene at the Pet Store.
Gu Lan glanced at her buzzing phone and said, "Aunt Wang sent a message saying there's a stray cat in the neighborhood that we haven't seen before. Shishi, could you help me check it out when you have time?"
"Sure."
It was a stray Xiao San Hua that had climbed up a tree to escape from some kids chasing it. When I arrived, several little rascals were waving branches and reluctantly walking away from the tree.
After luring the cat down with a piece of Cat Treats, Sister Lan Lan asked me to run another errand for her—to give the little one a check-up and a shot.
She then provided me with the address of a so-called conscientious pet hospital that was reputed to be absolutely trustworthy.
The clinic was small but clean and tidy, with walls adorned with various pet photos.
A young doctor in a white coat and glasses approached; he was an expert in "neutering."
Dr. Gu looked exceptionally handsome while working.
"Hello, Doctor."
"My surname is Gu, Gu Yu."
"Hello, Dr. Gu."
"Meow."
A small kitten poked its head out from my coat, revealing half of its little face.
"Hello, Dr. Gu," I greeted.
"Meow," it replied.
"Back again?"
Ever since I posted a video rescuing a kitten, I had received numerous messages asking for help. They were all poor little creatures in distress.
"Why not invest in some shares?" Gu Yu suggested, pushing up his glasses.
"Meow." The orange cat rubbed against his feet, seemingly in agreement with the idea.
I chuckled foolishly.
This was the third time this month that I had brought a stray cat in for treatment. The first was a little one stuck in a tree, Xiao Daitiao. The second was Big Orange, who had accidentally ingested rat poison. This time, it was Xiao San Hua, who had injured its leg.
I carefully cradled Xiao San Hua, afraid of hurting its injured leg further.
"Alright, I'll give you a discount this time too," Gu Yu said as he took Xiao San Hua inside for an examination.
I watched through the glass as he bent down to comfort the kitten while checking its hurt leg. The scene was so heartwarming that I couldn't help but lift my phone to record it.
The examination results indicated that the kitten would need to stay at the clinic for a few days, so I wouldn't have to come in every day. He would send me updates on the kitten's condition via WeChat.
Thinking back to the lovely moment I had just captured, I asked, "Dr. Gu, I just filmed a few seconds of you treating the kitten. Can I post it online? If..."
"Sure."
Huh? I had prepared all my arguments, and now he just agrees?
"Give me your account so I can follow you."
"Okay, okay, here it is."
"You’re a pet blogger?" He quickly scrolls through my videos.
The videos are all about the cute moments of my four "tanks" at home.
"These two can’t get any fatter; you need to control their food intake." He points at the dogs in the video, particularly Big Orange.
"I'll try?" Thinking of their little pleading eyes, I might not have the heart to refuse.
"You must! If this dog gets any fatter, its joints won't be able to handle it. Take it out to run whenever you have time."
"Can't we just walk?"
"It needs to run. If you're going to run, you can invite me along. I live in the neighborhood next door."
"Huh? Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for you…?"
"I just want to see how it's doing. Besides, can you really hold onto your dog?"
Indeed, I can't hold onto Wait a minute when it starts running.
It’s named Wait a minute because when it was younger, I couldn't hold onto it and had to chase after it.
Running while shouting: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
After doing this so many times, it thought its name was Wait a minute.
It completely ignores its original name.
He can even see that—what a genius!
Thanks to the clips of Dr. Gu, I've gained a few more fans from Cybere.
"Dual-Wielding Sexy Mother Cockroach: Ahhh, doctor, I’m in!"
"AAA Defense Wholesale: Doctor, look at me! The upstairs isn’t human, but I’m really a dog!"
