Zhengwenjun: Please use a stronger purchase rate to fire at me. Dou Sheng gave him a lecture and returned to his usual indifference, "you can you up. canbb."
Xie Lan was stunned. "What?"
He doubted his ability to speak English.
Dou Sheng calmly explained: "A gentleman is slow to speak but quick to act, this is what Confucius taught."
Xie Lan said "Ah" in a confused manner.
Yu Fei looked at Dou Sheng with a look of suspicion, "Get up and let me try."
Yu Fei occupied the narrow gap, knelt on his knees, unpacked a snack and squeezed it into his palm, then stretched his hand into the gap devoutly.
"Mimi~" he called softly, "Come to Daddy, Daddy has food."
"Look whose favorite is this tuna king salmon?"
“Mimi mimi~”
"Mimi? Mimi?"
Xie Lan couldn't help but pick his ears.
He seriously suspected that his ears were damaged and he could not hear any other sounds except "mimi".
"How disgusting." Dou Sheng whispered in his ear: "Even he can tolerate it, I think I can eat Haggis too."
Xie Lan looked at him sideways: "You are not much different from him."
"It's different. I'm a handsome guy with natural affinity, and he's a hot-tempered man pretending to be gentle." Dou Sheng smiled and raised his hand to hook Xie Lan's shoulder, and kicked Yu Fei's thigh with his toes, "Get up, let Xie Lan try."
Xie Lan froze.
The hand clasped his shoulder, and four fingers naturally pressed on his collarbone.
He could even feel Dou Sheng's fingers with his collarbone.
Yu Fei said anxiously, "Don't rush me. I'll try again. She and I are very close."
"Kiss what?" Dou Sheng took back his arm from Xie Lan, "Does she remember you?"
Having said that, Dou Sheng still cooperated with Yu Fei to adjust the position of the light, so that the light stopped between the cat and Yu Fei, and slowly moved towards Yu Fei to lure it over.
The beam of light passed over the outline of the kitten, and Xie Lan suddenly caught a glimpse of something unusual.
He grabbed Dou Sheng's wrist.
Dou Sheng turned his head, his eyes swept across the hand holding him, and fell on the side of Xie Lan's face, "Hmm?"
Xie Lan grabbed his wrist and moved it to the right and forward, carefully adjusting the angle and tracing the right side of the kitten's belly.
"Injured." He frowned and said, "The right one is bigger than the left one, and it's hanging down."
There was silence for a long time. Yu Fei, who was kneeling in front, sighed and said, "It's true."
Dou Sheng asked in a low voice, "She hadn't given birth yet when I saw her at the end of the semester, right?"
Yu Fei nodded. "She should have given birth not long after the exam. Logically, the kittens are two months old now, and the mother cat should be normal by now."
"pyometra."
Xie Lan said softly: "If it can still run, it's not a bone. It's better to have pyometra, but I hope it's not a tumor."
Yu Fei looked up at him, "Tumor is a tumor? What is pyometra?"
Dou Sheng had already looked it up in the dictionary, "Pyometra?"
"I don't know Chinese." Xie Lan shook his head. "Mother cats often get this disease. There is dirty water where the kittens are placed. That's probably what it means."
"That's it." Dou Sheng nodded, "We have to catch her quickly."
Yu Fei didn't care about the dirt. He leaned his shoulder against the entrance of the narrow alley and stretched his hand into the narrow gap.
"Mimi, come out quickly, Mimi—"
Where the light shone, the cat hesitated and took half a step back.
"Let me do it." Xie Lan said in a low voice.
YouTube cannot be used in China, so he tried opening Bilibili and typing “kitten’s meow” in the search box.
The first video he searched for was the one he wanted—“Play this video and your cat will come to save you”
Xie Lan turned up the volume to the maximum and took two steps back with the phone.
The coquettish and anxious howl of a kitten came out of the phone, echoing in the narrow alley.
A few seconds later, the black cat inside suddenly jumped up and ran out, dragging its heavy belly.
She walked past Yu Fei and Dou Sheng without stopping, all the way to Xie Lan's feet, where she hesitated, stopped and walked around in circles.
Xie Lan immediately bent down to grab her, but she reacted quickly and turned around to run. Dou Sheng blocked her from behind and both he and Xie Lan held the cat down at the same time.
“Woo—”
Xie Lan grabbed Dou Sheng's hand, that slender hand with smooth bones.
But he only held on for a moment before letting go, frowning and hissing.
Yu Fei picked up the stun gun and shook it in Xie Lan's hand.
—There was a white line from the fingertip to the fingertip, more than one centimeter long. It was just white in the first few seconds, but soon blood seeped out.
The tip of the left index finger is where you rub the strings.
Xie Lan shut himself in.
Being scratched by a cat doesn't hurt much, but he is used to cherishing his hands. Even though he only plays the piano a few times a year, he still retains the subconscious that he developed since childhood and thinks that finger injuries are troublesome.
"Hold me for a minute."
Dou Sheng carefully transferred the cat to Yu Fei, "Be gentle, yes, avoid the stomach..."
The cat had been struggling fiercely just now, but now it was caught and did not move, just humming through its nose.
"Don't be so whiny." Dou Sheng tapped her nose and taught her a lesson: "I disguised myself as your cub with good intentions to catch you, and you're not happy?"
"…" Xie Lan couldn't help but say, "It sounds like you really have good intentions."
"嘤—" The little black cat turned its head away angrily.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Fei let out a howl, and the electric baton tilted, and the mask of pain on his face flashed in the light.
"Bite me!" he hissed. "The little she-cat has an unpredictable temper. She's so difficult to deal with!"
Dou Sheng took the electric baton, shone it on Xie Lan's fingertips, and blew on it twice.
"Squeeze out two drops of blood."
Xie Lan immediately replied: "No."
"?"
Dou Sheng stopped abruptly and looked up blankly, "Why?"
Xie Lan retracted his hand, bent it up and held it in the air near his palm for protection, and carefully put it in his pocket.
"We'll go to the hospital to get some medicine later." Xie Lan said, "I can't do it myself."
"That's right." Dou Sheng nodded blankly, and couldn't help but sighed: "You are quite careful."
"Douzi, call a taxi and go to Katie's house." Yu Fei said while holding the cat. "I feel like she's not in good condition. When I saw her outside the alley just now, I felt like she was trembling when she walked."
"OK."
Domestic pet hospitals are similar to those in the UK. It was the middle of the night and there was no one else there. The doctor took the cat into the treatment room, and after touching its belly, he said he suspected it was abscesses and wanted to take an X-ray and do a blood test.
The little black cat seemed less alert after entering the hospital, but he became visibly listless. The hen squatted at the foot of the table, squinting her eyes and not moving.
"A stray cat, right?" the doctor asked while examining the ear canal.
Yu Fei said, "I really don't have the conditions to adopt her, but I take her for vaccinations every year. The last booster shot was six months ago."
The doctor was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked up and carefully examined the three of them. "Students? From English High School?"
"Yeah." Dou Sheng reached out and gently stroked the little black cat. "She is about three years old. She gave birth to cubs a month or two ago. She has been vaccinated every year before, including against rabies."
The doctor sighed, "The student is very kind. Okay, I'll take her directly to have her blood drawn."
"Mimi, you are strong." Yu Fei lowered his head and rubbed the cat's head with his forehead. "If you are sick, go to the doctor. Daddy will take care of you no matter how much money it costs. Be good, be good."
Xie Lan asked Dou Sheng quietly, "Is he like this often?"
“Yeah.” Dou Sheng’s lips barely moved: “I can’t walk when I see a little cutie.”
Xie Lan couldn't help but sigh.
The nurse came to take the cat away, and Dou Sheng stopped her, "Can you bandage it? My friend's finger is injured."
"Finger?" The nurse came back from the door holding the cat. "Let me see."
Dou Sheng reached out and grabbed Xie Lan's index finger, then stretched it forward a little, "Here."
There was silence for a few seconds.
The nurse lifted the cat up, stepped back from the threshold, and took a closer look at the small, almost imperceptible wound.
"Ah..." She hesitated, "The blood has already coagulated. There are cotton balls at the front desk to wipe it. It will be fine after the rabies vaccination."
"Let's bandage it up," Dou Sheng said. "He bled quite a bit just now, and he was still playing the violin."
Yu Fei said quietly beside him: "There was so much blood that the alley was dyed red. There was at least 0.0001 milliliters of blood."
Dou Sheng curled his lips: "Stop making trouble, it turns out that you are not the one who got hurt."
"???"
Yu Fei flew into a rage on the spot, "I think you are really blind, absolutely."
He waved his hand in front of the nurse and said, "I was bitten."
"You need to take care of this!" the nurse said immediately, "Why didn't you mention it earlier? Come with me now."
Yu Fei stood in front of Dou Sheng with a gloomy face, "Did you hear me? Get out of the way."
"Sorry, I forgot." Dou Sheng made way for him. "Please come in."
Xie Lan returned to the waiting area and looked at the wound on his left hand.
It was really nothing. A shallow blood line had already solidified, but it was not as serious as the blisters caused by rubbing the strings when I was a child.
Dou Sheng was selling Band-Aids. Xie Lan glanced at his screen and said, "Forget it."
"It doesn't count. If Ms. Zhao Wenying sees this, she'll scold me." Dou Sheng poked at his phone. "And I know your hands are precious when you play the violin, especially the fingertips and pads of your left hand. If they get a little broken, you have to take good care of them. You can't do anything. You have to stop everything and take care of your hands, right?"
Xie Lan was stunned.
This theory coincides with his ideas.
But he knew that his ideas were outrageous. This was instilled in him by Xiao Langjing when he was a child. Xie Jingming and all the teachers and friends around him thought it was outrageous.
When Xie Lan grew up, he also felt that it was exaggerated, but he just got used to it.
Many habits acquired in childhood, especially those taught by our mothers, cannot be abandoned even when we realize they are unreasonable when we grow up.
Dou Sheng finally found the Band-Aid he liked. It was transparent and waterproof, and had a donut pattern on the cotton pad.
He added the Band-Aid to the shopping cart, and added some iodine bandages, saying casually, "I understand. My friend who plays the violin is like this."
"A friend who plays the violin?" Xie Lan was a little surprised. "From Class 4?"
"You don't know him." Dou Sheng shook his head, carefully inputting the delivery address of Hello Kitty, and muttered in a low voice: "He is not like you who works for three days and rests for two days. He is really good at it."
Xie Lan became famous on YouTube for this piece of music. The arrangement was adjusted to a style suitable for violin performance. The climax part had a continuous rhythmic variation, a conversational split, and a duet played with a single bow, which ignited the whole audience.
But he couldn't stand someone playing the song on repeat in his ears. The song played from outside into his home, and continued to play through the wall after everyone went back to their rooms.
Until he fell into a drowsy sleep, the same tune was played in his dreams.
I slept so soundly that when I woke up it was already afternoon and Dou Sheng knocked on the door.
"I'm scheduled for surgery at 3:30. Are you coming?"
Xie Lan sat on the bed for a moment, "Should we go straight to evening self-study?"
According to the rules of the British and Chinese schools, students must return to school at 6pm on Sunday evening for self-study.
Dou Sheng hummed, "You'll get used to it."
On the way to the pet hospital, Dou Sheng suddenly asked, "Do you want to live in the dormitory?"
"Well?"
"I kind of want to." Dou Sheng yawned. "If I live in a full dormitory, I can sleep half an hour longer in the morning, and I can go home on Friday and Saturday nights without delaying anything."
Xie Lan hummed, "All right."
If Dou Sheng wants to live in the whole dormitory, he must move in too, otherwise it would be weird to live alone in Dou Sheng's house.
Dou Sheng smiled, "You can continue to go to school as a day student if you don't want to. There are two kings on a mountain. It is only natural that the second cat guards the territory when the big cat is away."
When we arrived at the veterinary hospital, we found that Yu Fei was not there. He was said to have gone to catch the black cat's cubs. Che Ziming and Dai Youquan were there, and Wang Gou came with them.
"I'm in the same dormitory with you guys." Wang Gou rubbed his hands excitedly, "I just finished packing my things, and Dai You said he was coming over, so I came to see him."
Dou Sheng nodded, "Where's the cat?"
“Just went in.”
There was no small window on the operating room door, so several people could only sit in the waiting area.
"There is no problem with breathing anesthesia for now." Dai You explained: "Now it's just a routine operation. We'll see if the cat can wake up after the operation."
Wang Gou sighed: "We'll have to wait."
Che Ziming clenched his hands, "My palms are sweating. I've known Mimi for almost two years. I hope nothing happens to her."
Wang Gou raised his eyebrows: "Two years?"
"On the day of enrollment, Hu Xiujie said there was a stray cat outside the classroom and asked the boys to catch it. Herring and I went there. We thought it was a big, fierce cat, but we were shocked when we saw it. It was a cute little black cat that turned around and meowed at us."
"Great." Wang Gou said, "Love at first sight!"
Che Ziming nodded and said bitterly: "If anything happens to Mimi, we won't be able to live well either."
Wang Gou immediately waved his hand, "Don't worry, just live well."
Xie Lan was also feeling uneasy at first, but when he heard these two people talking, he suddenly felt that something had changed.
Dou Sheng raised his eyelids and asked, "Are you two performing crosstalk?"
Che Ziming was stunned, "Yeah, how did it enter this mode?"
Wang Gou: “Eh?”
Che Ziming turned his head and glared at him with a frown, "Is it because you've been playing the supporting role all the time?"
"Of course."
"Stop the straight talk!!!"
"Okay."
"… "
Dou Sheng was so angry that he laughed, and Xie Lan couldn't help but laugh along with him.
The operation lasted more than half an hour. When the cat came out, it was wrapped in a small blanket, like a baby, and the nurse put it directly into Dou Sheng's arms.
Dou Sheng's movements froze instantly, "How can I hug you?"
"Just hold it like this, support it with your hands." The nurse laughed: "Relax, right."
The black cat on the blanket stuck out its tongue, a normal reaction after anesthesia, and it looked a little funny.
The nurse said that the cat should wake up from anesthesia within half an hour, and as long as it can wake up, there will be no problem.
As soon as the nurse left, Xie Lan discovered that Dou Sheng was secretly poking the kitten's tongue.
"?"
Is the hand owed
Dou Sheng said, "I am trying to speed up my recovery."
I don’t know if it was because the kitten had become stronger as an adult, or if Dou’s awakening method was effective, but in just ten minutes, the cat really woke up.
Her first reaction after waking up was to rush out of the package, but Dou Sheng ruthlessly held her down.
"You just run away, and you are strangled by fate."
The little black cat struggled frantically, "Ah—"
"There's no use shouting. I have to be hospitalized for two days." He took out his mobile phone, recorded a video and sent it to the group, tagged Yu Fei, and then took the cat in to the doctor.
After finishing their work, it was only half an hour before evening self-study. Che Ziming and the other three wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat. Dou Sheng was too lazy to walk, so he dragged Xie Lan to eat rice noodles near the school gate.
At the one closest to the west gate, Dou Sheng ordered spicy beef and Xie Lan ordered golden soup pork bone. Each of them received a casserole, which was still bubbling.
Xie Lan had never eaten such smooth noodles before, and after taking a few bites, she felt they were pretty good.
"I want to discuss something with you." Dou Sheng said suddenly.
Xie Lan raised his eyes, "What?"
"No updates this weekend." Dou Sheng said calmly, "There are a lot of advertisements next month, and I need to plan some commercials, so I will temporarily stop updating this weekend."
Xie Lan said nothing when he heard this. He lowered his head, drank two mouthfuls of soup with a wooden spoon, and continued to eat rice noodles.
Dou Sheng sighed, "Is it okay?"
"Whatever." Xie Lan said calmly, "Your career is not my career. You are the one who loses fans, not me. It's up to you."
Dou Sheng: “…”
Xie Lan put down the spoon and asked, "Do you want to continue eating live?"
"What?"
Xie Lan looked at him and said, "Will you just keep doing food broadcasts from now on? Will you not record other video content?"
"You just kept the dialect video you recorded at school in the middle of the night?"
"Never get over being camera shy?"
Dou Sheng was stunned for a while, then he said, "Your spoken English has improved a lot."
Xie Lan had a sour face. "As long as it's something I can say, I can say it very quickly. This is the power of DNA."
Dou Sheng couldn't help laughing.
But he didn't respond to Xie Lan's words. The two of them continued to eat rice noodles. Occasionally, when Xie Lan looked up, he would see Dou Sheng looking away as if nothing had happened.
Maybe it was because the implication of his words just now was too obvious, but Dou Sheng seemed a little curious.
Just after finishing the meal, the group started ringing frantically again.
Yu Fei sent ten emoticons in a row.
- Herring: Is there anyone who can come and help me? Damn, I am going to be scratched to death by these cats.
- Herring: It's a narrow alley, come quickly.
- Herring: Is there anyone here
Soon Che Ziming replied.
- Cherry: Brother, class is about to start... We are all sitting in the classroom.
- Dai You: Can you please hold the cat still until after school
- Herring: Come and give me a try.
Dou Sheng looked down at his phone.
- rjjsd: Whose evening study session is today
- Dai You: Lao Ma's self-study class, Hu Xiujie is said to have asked for leave today, you don't want to...
- rjjsd: Xie Lan and I will go to help.
Xie Lan: “???”
"Did I say I wanted to help?" Xie Lan was speechless, "I haven't finished the math test yet."
"Do you still need to study math? Come with me, and I'll show you the common arguments I summarized for college entrance exam essays. Deal?"
Such a □□ transaction is most despicable.
Xie Lan snorted coldly, "Deal."
Yu Fei was determined to find Mimi's cubs, but he ended up finding a litter of five cubs, including the mother. The mother ran away, and the four cubs were panicking. Yu Fei wanted to stuff them into his bag, but the cats struggled too hard, and he didn't dare to use force. As soon as he stuffed one in, another ran out, and it became a gif that played automatically in a loop, a perpetual motion machine of stuffing cats.
Xie Lan was intoxicated when he saw the scene.
"I say—" Dou Sheng said as he helped him stuff the cat, "What on earth are you doing?"
"No matter what, I've already caught them." Yu Fei gritted his teeth, "From now on, if you see any wild cats around here, sterilize them first. Don't let any of them run away."
Dou Sheng asked seriously, "Are you a ruthless egg-cutting machine?"
"Cut the balls?" Xie Lan was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Yu Fei sighed beside him. Dou Sheng took out his phone, opened a dictionary, and showed it to Xie Lan.
Xie Lan took a glance and his ears turned red unexpectedly.
It's normal for boys to discuss this together, but it's still a bit unbearable to see someone seriously explaining this kind of vocabulary to you in writing.
When they arrived at the pet hospital, all three of them were sweating.
Today, the four cats are full of energy and are competing in shouting in the hospital, with the meowing sounds rising one after another.
"You have to come one by one. You can come to pick up the cats after 9pm." The nurse said as she wrote out the list, "They are all male kittens. They don't need to be hospitalized. They can be released normally after being sterilized."
"Damn bastard." Dou Sheng suddenly said beside Xie Lan.
Xie Lan was startled. "What?"
Dou Sheng thought for a moment and said, "It's a shorthand way of saying sterilizing four cats and removing eight eggs at once."
"Oh." Xie Lan sighed, "The beauty of Chinese lies in its simplicity."
Yu Fei standing aside showed an expression of doubt about his life.
This trip was much faster than yesterday. I just paid the money and got out.
It was only six forty when the three of them arrived near the school gate.
Yu Fei returned to his usual listless self, walking lazily and sluggishly in front, while Xie Lan was fiddling with his phone behind him.
He tried to search for the ID using Dou Sheng's WeChat nickname rjjsd, but unfortunately there was no such person.
In fact, he could also ask people around him, but there were risks in doing so. First, he was not sure whether Dou Sheng had concealed the truth from him alone, and second, he was not sure whether Dou Sheng had bribed them in advance.
