I hurriedly put the picture frame down and wiped the tears on my face, turned around and rushed out of the pet hospital and ran home. My speed was so fast that I didn"t even know that I had left the ice cream I had just bought in the hospital.
Behind me, I could hear Bi Qing"s voice anxiously calling my name...I did not dare to look back.
I was afraid that if I turned back, I would not be able to leave anymore.
I was panicked and fished out my keys and made a few failed attempts before I was able to open the door and then rushed upstairs to my room, I b.u.mped into Xiao Mao on the way and didn"t even stop to apologize.
After I locked the door, I threw myself on my bed and my tears came down uncontrollably, but my mind has never been so clear-headed as it was at this moment.
Some people know at a glance that this is the person who is holding their red string of fate. Some people need to get along with each other for a while to know that this is the person who will be connected to them in life and death in this lifetime.
I and Ao Yun are in the latter category. When I saw him, I thought he seemed to be the person I was looking for but I felt that something was lacking. I had a favorable impression of him and thought that on the basis of mutual affection, love can be cultivated slowly like in preparing tea and grow. I thought that we suit each other and it will be a good marriage predestined by fate.
But the person I have been longing for in my dreams, the one I have been searching for is actually Bi Qing.
I never believed in something as stupid as love at first sight, but upon my first glance at him, it was as if it had been predestined from the past lives for this person to be my love, the one that can move my feelings just by simply being at my side or lightly looking my way, the one that can make me willingly want to give up all glory, splendor, wealth and rank just to accompany him to the ends of the earth and grow old together.
But how can I use my own willfulness to hurt Ao Yun? Marriage is not child"s play, since I have promised him, I have to be responsible for him. He is without faults and has not neglected his duties in any way, and apparently has spent a long time waiting for someone as well.
I obsessed over this for a long time and then finally sighed and went out to the living room. Even though Hua Rong came to knock on the door to find me, I pretended like I wasn"t home.
"Meow" I suddenly heard a tiny meowing coming from outside the door. I popped out my head and saw a green-eyed black cat, with its four-feet white as snow. I was stunned, it crouched outside my door, dripping wet and trembling and it stretched its head and looked at me as if it wanted to come in.
I saw this and became soft-hearted and quickly opened the door and hugged it and brought it in. Seeing that its body was covered with mud and was quite dirty, I took to the bathroom and opened the hot water faucet to bathe it.
The little black cat was shocked when it saw that I was going to bathe it. It jumped and wanted to run outside. How can I with so much experience with cats let it escape so easily? I closed the door, bent down and picked it up. I did not expect that this cat, although it looked small in weight, it was not light, perhaps it was even obese. It screamed a few times in suffering, but it did not stretch his claws to scratch me, and eventually, it bowed its head in front of the hot water to compromise.
I used by soap to wash his back, his stomach, and paws. The cat was very docile and didn"t resist me. But when I tried to wash its b.u.t.t, it frantically struggled to free itself as if it was a life and death matter and did not let me look. So much so that it suddenly jumped onto the bathroom curtains and refused to come down.
"Good cat quickly come down, you have to get cleaned before you can go into the house." I tried to coax.
The little black cat cried miserably, "Meow, meow, meow, meow!"
"Okay, okay, I won"t wash your b.u.t.t, quickly come down." I guess for male cats, it"s a taboo to tough there, therefore, I said that to persuade it.
I didn"t expect that cat to jump down as if it seemed to understand me. However, I grabbed a bowl of water and poured over his b.u.t.t and quickly washed it clean with lightning speed.
The black cat that was deceived must have been dissatisfied with the despicableness of mankind or maybe it felt deeply humiliated and so it left a few teeth marks on the back of my hand...
I was in pain and rubbed my hand and complained, "This silly cat is really inhumane..."
It was sitting on the computer desk chair with its back facing me, and it seemed to be hanging its ears as if it was unhappy. I didn"t worry about its displeasure and wiped it off with a clean towel that I had never used before. I brought out the hair dryer and blew it.
Normally cats are very afraid of the sound of hair dryers and usually try to escape. So I made sure to do a good job of holding the cat and blowing it. I didn"t expect that this little black cat was not afraid and sat comfortably in front of the wind and turned his belly from time to time. I saw that it was so sensible and became even happier and decided to adopt it.
I opened the small refrigerator and looked it over. I only had bread and juice, all the fish has been eaten and there was nothing suitable for the cat to eat. Also, cats need to have a cat litter box and cat litter. It is also best for it to eat cat food and also have some toys. So I had to go out to buy these things, and stray cats who are picked up also need to have their bodies checked.
There was only one place that sold pet supplies near here, so in the evening when the rain had stopped. I held the little black cat and hesitantly walked out the door and looked at the opposite side of the road and saw that Bi Qing was still standing outside the door. It seemed as if he were a soldier standing guard and did not move, then he looked straight at me.
In a flash, he caught my uneasy gaze and crossed the road to come to me.
My heart started to jump again and it seemed as if it was going to jump out of my chest. The little black cat also seemed to feel nervous. It seemed to be at a loss and looked at me then made some sounds at me, then it looked back at Bi Qing and immediately became silent, I don"t know whether it is pondering over something.
"That...this is good...I was just about to go to the hospital to look for you..." I"m usually not clever, but I am still bold, but today instead I am like a shy and timid girl, that is bashful in front of the man I like. So I bluntly said, "Just...picked up a cat." After saying that, I quickly raised the black cat up to him to show that I am not lying.
Bi Qing cast a quick glance at the little black cat and then turned his eyes back to my face and said somewhat nervously, "Miao Miao, you...you came to my store today and dropped the ice cream..."
"Ah...ah...to disturb you, I am sorry." I began to speak incoherently.
"No...it was no bother at all." Bi Qing shook his head repeatedly, "It"s me who didn"t do well and didn"t put it in the refrigerator...and then it melted..."
"If it"s melted then it"s melted." I held the little black cat in my hands and then recalled the reason for this trip, "This cat needs to have its body checked...I ...I also want to buy cat supplies."
"Alright." Bi Qing finally looked down and took the cat from my arms, then we went over to the pet hospital opposite. He stopped me at the edge of the road and helped me check for pa.s.sing vehicles, after confirming that there was none, we then crossed the zebra crossing. When we reached the door of the pet hospital, he seemed to have come to a firm resolution and said to me, "Miao Miao how about after checking the little cat"s body, I take you to the store to buy ice cream to compensate you?"
MiraiSaesang"s Notes: Poor Xiao Mao traumatized by his mother washing his b.u.t.t , he must be so embarra.s.sed, remember the lengths he went through to avoid her finding out about him bedwetting when he was little, now to have this ?...also I guess we are going to have some trouble with Miao Miao"s feeling obligated to Ao Yun, that is, until she gets her memory back LOL...
