After Returning to My Biological Family, I Was Arranged to Marry

Chapter 69: Love first, lose first

Views:

Lin Zimao originally wanted to take Jiaoyan to a pet store that was usually open for a checkup, but that hospital was closed, so he searched for another one. But when he called, he found out that because it was going to snow tonight, the doctors were all out celebrating the first snow of the year, so he had to stop looking, and finally found a pet hospital that was open 24 hours a day.

Maybe today is a special program. Many people bring their pets to this hospital for treatment. There are common cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels and birds, but also more common are poisonous spiders, lizards, ants and other strange animals.

Lin Zimao never expected that the first snow on Feige Star would be so anticipated by so many people, resulting in only a few pet hospitals being open, and all the pets flocking to the 24-hour pet hospitals.

There were so many people coming to the hospital that we had to take a number and wait in line.

I couldn't see what was wrong with the pepper and salt, and he looked listless and was still lying there, not wanting to move.

Many parents nearby were talking about interesting things about their own furry children. Some said that their children only liked to eat canned food, some said that they loved taking baths and were troublesome, some insisted on sleeping on their parents' beds, and of course some had the habit of peeing everywhere in the house.

Pepper and Salt meowed several times. Lin Zimao thought that he might be a little nervous, so he took him out of the cat bag and let him lie on his lap.

It is considered a relatively rare cat species, attracting a lot of onlookers. Some people even tried to touch it, but were stopped by Lin Zimao. Now Pepper Salt is feeling well and his temper should be very good. I don't think he will get into trouble because of his cheap hands.

The number of Jiaoyan was called on the big screen, and Lin Zimao carried Jiaoyan into the doctor's office.

After the doctor asked a few questions about Pepper and Salt's daily condition, he touched it all over. When he touched Pepper and Salt's injured right hind leg, Pepper and Salt meowed loudly.

Doctor: "Is its leg injured?"

Lin Zimao: "Yes, it was injured when I picked it up as a child."

PepperSalt was picked up in a very cold place. When it was first picked up, it was only two months old. I don't know if it was dropped by someone or injured by some large animal. It had a lame leg and it took nearly half a year for the leg to heal.

At that time, Jiaoyan was very thin and small, weighing only a little over one kilogram. Later, we slowly raised it and it became so fat. Maybe it was because it was very hungry when it was young, so it was very picky about food and ate everything, including cakes, steamed buns, yogurt, nutrient solution, and grilled sausages.

Lin Zimao felt that it was in good health, so he seldom took Pepper and Salt to the hospital for experience.

Doctor: "Maybe we need to do a full body CT scan. I think the leg injury didn't heal properly."

Lin Zimao: "I think it's normal for it to run and jump around."

Doctor: "Cats have a strong endurance. As long as they are in great pain, it is difficult for humans to observe it."

Lin Zimao was worried about Jiaoyan and made a decision immediately: "Is that so? Then give it a CT scan."

The doctor took Pepper and Salt to another room for a CT scan. The process was very quick. When Pepper and Salt came out, the holographic CT scan came out with it.

The doctor pointed to the holographic photo and said, "You may not have noticed before that the cat's right leg has not healed. Look, there is a piece of bone here that has died. It needs to be removed by surgery. Look here, this is the small section."

Lin Zimao was stunned when he saw the place the doctor pointed. He hadn't discovered it before. He touched the head of Jiaoyan, feeling sorry for the little guy.

Lin Zimao said: "I was negligent. When can it have surgery? It is in a lot of pain now, so it looks very uncomfortable."

The doctor said: "Don't worry too much, it should be normal. When it hurts, it may be like some elderly people who have difficulty breathing in high pressure places. Necrotic bones will affect its legs, and it will feel painful in the cold winter. But the operation is very quick and it will be fine after a period of recovery."

This male doctor speaks gently and is patient.

Lin Zimao: "Can we do it today?"

The doctor looked at the schedule and said, "You can do it, but you may have to wait another half an hour. I'll have someone prepare the operating room first."

Lin Zimao: "Then do it first."

Doctor: "Go and pay the fee first. Let's call the cat Salt and Pepper. Leave it to our nurse for now. Let's take it for some tests first."

Lin Zimao watched Jiaoyan being carried away by the sweet-looking girl with a soft voice. He felt empty inside. He took out his silent communicator and saw fifty missed calls, all from Jiang Xuan.

I was stunned for a moment. What happened

‌‌ did she have contact with Cheng Chen, and the two of them even went racing, and there was air traffic control‌

But these fifty missed calls were fake. After Lin Zimao quickly paid the salt and pepper surgery fee, he walked to the corridor outside the hospital and called back.

The call was connected in one second, and Lin Zimao heard Jiang Xuan's anxious voice from the other end: "Lin Zimao, where are you and Jiaoyan?"

Lin Zimao had never heard someone speak like this before. When he heard Jiang Xuan's anxious and nervous voice, all the bad thoughts he had felt after a few days of feeling depressed seemed to disappear.

But I forgot that I saw on WeChat Moments in the afternoon that Jiang Xuan and Cheng Chen were playing racing, and they didn’t even tell me about the racing.

Lin Zimao said angrily: "You don't care where we go. We'll stay here. Otherwise, it will hinder you from playing racing with others." He was indeed a person who kept his thoughts to himself. He still spoke out carefully.

After hearing Lin Zimao's voice, Jiang Xuan finally stopped his aimless search for people, parked the car at a temporary stop, and focused on talking to him.

Jiang Xuan asked in confusion: "What kind of racing car?"

Lin Zimao looked at the snowflakes floating in the air, opened his hand to catch them, and the snowflakes turned into water in his palm, icy cold: "What do you know about racing?"

Jiang Xuan was frightened tonight. He just remembered that he went out racing with Ji Chen on the night when he had a quarrel with Lin Zimao. It was probably because Lin Zimao saw the random things Cheng Chen posted on his Moments.

"Where are you? I'll come and take you home and tell you later. Trust me, everything is just as you imagined."

Lin Zimao said sarcastically: "If things are just as you imagined, this sentence is so familiar."

"I was wrong." Jiang Xuan apologized immediately, "I shouldn't have doubted you. I'm sorry."

Lin Zimao immediately became sarcastic, and after being sullen all night, his expression finally softened. He pressed the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly.

"Tell me, where is ‌ now? I just got home and didn't see ‌ and Pepper Salt. I was scared." So worried.

I’m afraid we’ll be homeless outside on a snowy day.

Lin Zimao reported the address of the local pet hospital.

As soon as Jiang Xuan heard it, he knew that something had happened to Jiaoyan: "What happened to Jiaoyan?" He immediately ordered the flying car to go to the hospital as quickly as possible. The distance was not too far and it would only take ten minutes to get there.

Lin Zimao: "Come here and I'll tell you in detail. I'm hungry. I'll buy a sandwich to fill my stomach first."

Jiang Xuan: "Haven't you had dinner yet?"

Lin Zimao: “No.”

Jiang Xuan's stomach also started to growl at this time: "Can you hold it in for a while? I haven't eaten either. Come over and eat with you."

Lin Zimao put his cold hands back into his pockets and took a deep breath: "Did the Internet say that it's cold when it snows? It's really cold."

Jiang Xuan said: "It will be cold inside."

"Yeah." Lin Zimao replied obediently, "I'll stand at the door, you can see me as soon as you come."

Jiang Xuan said okay, and when he heard that it was right, he said that they had to go inside to get rid of the cold, but Lin Zimao did not agree.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Xuan arrived at the hospital and saw Lin Zimao standing at the door, enjoying the wind and looking at the snow.

She was wearing a black coat today, and the night light made her skin look fairer. Jiang Xuan walked up to her quickly and found that the teardrop mole on her corner seemed to be more obvious. He had deliberately kissed her corner last week, but Lin Zimao closed his eyes at that time.

I regretted my discovery. I wondered what was so good about Lin Zimao's face that he had to make it look fancy.

"We should go in. It's cold outside."

"Not bad." Lin Zimao said, with his hands still in his pockets.

Jiang Xuan took off the scarf from his neck and wrapped it around his neck twice: "Are you still cold?"

Lin Zimao pressed the scarf against his face. It smelled of Jiang Xuan's perfume. He shook his head and stared at Jiang Xuan with his eyes. After a pause, he said, "Looking for me?"

Jiang Xuan nodded: "Yes."

Lin Zimao climbed up the pole: "Are you afraid that I'll run away?"

Jiang Xuan's face turned slightly hot: "Yeah." Shame.

Lin Zimao took a step forward and approached: "Senior, do you really like me?"

Jiang Xuan stared at the tip of his nose which was red from the cold: "Yeah."

Lin Zimao was only ten kilometers away from Jiang Xuan: "But I only like your face."

Jiang Xuan pursed his lips and said, "You are not important anymore. It is enough for me to like you, as long as you stay by my side."

It sounds humble.

It really is whoever falls in love first loses first.

Jiang Xuan compromised with Lin Zimao. He bowed his head first, either he would leave Lin Zimao or Lin Zimao would leave him.

Listening to Jiang Xuan's repeated confession, Lin Zimao's heart was slightly shaken. He had never thought that Jiang Xuan would like him more than he thought. He was moved and afraid at the same time. However, he had made up his mind that as long as Jiang Xuan was willing, he would take him away with him.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that everything is fine.

Lin Zimao didn't have the heart to ruin the current atmosphere, but he still wanted to ask clearly.

He took a few quick steps forward and approached Jiang Xuan: "Then let's first explain what racing is all about."

Jiang Xuan didn't expect that he would ask this. He held Lin Zimao's cold hand tightly and explained what happened that night.

"I just went racing with Ji Chen that day, and we knew Cheng Chen was there, so I asked someone to hold Ji Chen outside, and I got into the car and took the passenger seat. I knew in the past that you would deliberately do things that would cause misunderstandings, but today I finally realized that, after all, you and I have nothing to do with each other." She put her hand covering Lin Zimao's hand on her heart, which was warmer there.

Actually, Lin Zimao didn't doubt Jiang Xuan too much, he was just a little angry when he saw it. If there was really any connection between him and Cheng Chen, according to Jiang Xuan's personality, they should have been together a long time ago.

But he still wanted to spare me: "But we are racing together, so I should catch up with you."

Jiang Xuan had failed to coax Lin Zimao, so he had to tell the truth: "You insisted on coming down, so I turned off the protection mode of your body. After coming down, you vomited miserably."

Lin Zimao was slightly stunned, then he chuckled while resting his head on Jiang Xuan's shoulder.

Lin Zimao: "This is a bit excessive."

Jiang Xuan: "Of course someone will be angry."

Lin Zimao: “I’m angry.”

Jiang Xuan: "Then can you give me a kiss?"

Lin Zimao: “Yes…”

Before he could answer, the communicator vibrated and Lin Zimao answered the call.

A nurse's loud voice came from inside: "Are you Pepper Salt's parents? Please come and sign for Pepper Salt's surgery!"

Oops, I almost forgot the salt and pepper.
