Although the pawn shop didn't expressly stipulate that it can only be used as a dead thing, I really didn't expect that someone could come to be a cat, and it was still a purebred Haishuang puppet.
The girl who claimed to be the owner of the cat showed a lot of breed certificates, claiming that she had bought the cat heavily from abroad, raised it from snacks, imported canned food and imported food. The male cat, which is less than one year old, was priced at 100,000.
I have studied luxury appraisal for two months, and I can tell you whether a diamond is worth 100,000 yuan, but there is really nothing I can do about pet cats. Besides, there is no food or cat litter in the store, and it is not easy to raise.
"Sorry, we can't accept live animals here, why don't you go out and turn left to the pet store?" I pointed her in the direction.
The girl rolled up the certificate on the table, rolled her eyes, and left aggressively carrying the pet box.
"If you can't accept it, tell me sooner!"
The puppet cat, which has grown very strong, has been looking at me through the fence. Its blue eyes are ignorant and innocent, and it looks really pitiful.
Can't help but remind me of another cat in my memory.
The adaptability of teenagers is always excellent. After recognizing my feelings for Sheng Minou, I accepted this fact within three days.
There are so many men and women who fall in love with each other early, there is a lot less than me, and there is not much more than me.
No matter how deep the relationship is, it is impossible to just forget it, and I can’t worry about it alone; if the relationship is shallow, I don’t think about it, and I will forget it after years, let alone worry.
Ever since my dad passed away suddenly, I have understood a truth - do what you want to do as soon as possible, you don't have as much time to hesitate as you imagined.
The act of smashing the mirror with his hand really fully interpreted the impulsiveness and recklessness of the young man, and the lesson was naturally tragic. The tendons of the ring finger and middle finger of the right hand were ruptured. Not to mention several stitches during the operation, a plaster cast was worn for a month.
I was quite happy not to have to do my homework for a month, but my mother always looked at me with a sad face and sighed for the homework I missed.
So I took the initiative to propose that I go to Sheng Mingou to tutor me on weekends.
My mother had some concerns at the beginning, fearing that I would go to Sheng Minou's place to hide from my laziness, but after I swore to God that I would study hard and keep the top 50 in the next monthly exam, she let go, Go and call Sheng Minou.
I was actually quite afraid that he would disagree. At that time, he had less and less contact with us, and the barren relationship was maintained by the habit all the time. Every time he said goodbye to us and watched his back walking down the stairs, I would have an illusion of losing him. .
But fortunately, he agreed in the end. The adoptive mother will take care of herself, so he will save some face. It's just that he has time after seven o'clock in the evening, and he has to work during the day.
After this calculation, it would be just right to go to his place after dinner.
It's just a clear mind, and it hasn't been a long time, but when I think of seeing Sheng Minou, I get extremely nervous.
I specially changed into brand new clothes, cut my hair, rinsed my mouth, and adjusted the position of the plaster tie before going out.
When I arrived at the residential area where Sheng Minou was renting, I didn't expect such a coincidence, just in time for him to come back from outside.
He turned his back to me, and didn't notice my arrival. There was an orange kitten at his feet, which was circling around him coquettishly.
It was completely dark at seven o'clock, and there were no street lights in the old community, only a yellow light bulb with a low wattage installed under the porch, trying to illuminate a small area in front of the door.
Sheng Minou and the cat are on the edge of its light and dark.
The cat was not too afraid of people, and it rubbed against Sheng Minou for a long time, making a soft "meow" sound from its mouth.
Sheng Minou looked down at it, and didn't try to drive it away, but let it rub its cat hair on his trouser legs silently.
My mother doesn't like pets that shed hair very much. When I was a child, no matter how much I cried and wanted to ask her to get a puppy, she never wavered. I thought that Sheng Minou, like my mother, was the type of person who had a cleanliness and couldn't stand pet hair, but he was not.
That scene was really cute and interesting. I stopped and watched them quietly not far away, and couldn't bear to interrupt for a while.
After about two minutes like this, Sheng Minou seemed to have been turned on a switch suddenly, and slowly bent down and reached out to the cat, lifting it from the ground.
He looked at it, and the orange cat called out to him obediently, but Sheng Minou's eyes didn't show much soft emotion.
That gaze somehow reminded me of jackals chasing their prey in the animal world, hungry, excited, cruel... My heart skipped a beat for no reason, I took a step forward, and called his name.
"Sheng Minou..."
I don't know why I chose to call him by his full name back then, as if everything was meant to be. Fate took my hand and told me - I will stop him, I should stop him.
Sheng Minou seemed to wake up suddenly when he heard the voice, and suddenly let go of his five fingers and looked at me. The orange cat meowed, landed lightly on the ground, and fled away.
I have never seen Sheng Minou with such a frightened and helpless expression, as if he has just experienced a boundless nightmare that shakes his soul. When dreams and reality intersect, he saw me. In the drowsiness, I seemed to be a part of his nightmare, and he was doubly terrified.
"It's you..." Even his voice trembled slightly.
I thought it was my sudden appearance that frightened him, so I hurriedly apologized: "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I just..." I couldn't figure out what happened just now, so I just made a fuss, " That cat looks so cute, I want you to hold on to it, let me... let me touch it."
Sheng Minou glanced around, wondering if it was because he had just been frightened, his tone was not as cold as usual.
"It seems, ran away."
I smiled and walked towards him: "It's okay, just run, there will always be a chance to meet you next time."
However, when I saw it again for the second time, it was packed into a snow-white gift box and placed on Sheng Minou's bed. The whole body is decorated with pink ribbons.
Life is like a flash in the pan. In many cases, there will be no "second time".
My mother's health is getting worse and worse, and she has been unable to go to the field recently. The doctor said that she might not be able to survive this winter.
She didn't hide these words from her, she knew that she didn't have much time, and she became less scruples about talking to me lightly, and she didn't shy away from life and death.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, so I'll make it to the end of the year anyway, so you can have a good New Year." She was lying on the bed breathing oxygen, and it was hard for her to speak. I don't know how she will last another month with such a body.
"Don't worry about me." I held her hand, hoping that if she was really struggling, she should stop holding on and take a good rest... But after trying several times, she couldn't say it as she wished.
No matter how good the psychological construction is, I still feel afraid and apprehensive about being "alone" in the future.
Saying goodbye is a very difficult thing.
Coming out of the nursing home, seeing that it was still early, I wanted to go to the store to work overtime, but I received a text message from Yi Dazhuang halfway.
Sheng Minou had resigned from Meiteng Pharmaceutical two weeks ago and broke off his engagement with Xiao Moyu.
When leaving, the scene of Weng and his son-in-law's breakup that many outsiders expected did not happen. Xiao Suiguang not only sent a letter to the whole company, thanking Sheng Minou for his contributions to Meiteng over the years, but also personally sent him downstairs to the company, saying goodbye. Give a big hug.
Obviously he felt guilty towards Sheng Minou, probably because he knew about his daughter's bad thoughts, and thought that Sheng Minou left the job at this time to leave this sad place.
In general, Sheng Minou's departure from Meiteng Pharmaceutical went very smoothly this time, it was a textbook-level resignation. Not only did he not offend anyone, but he also added a lot of sympathy points.
Yi Dazhuang's investigation should have been completely over after the "weeding" operation in the hotel, but for some reason, he may have misunderstood me, and he still sends me some latest news about Sheng Mingou every few days. And I, for obvious reasons, never stopped.
Sheng Minou's law firm opened today, and he sent another text message with the address of the firm as a gift.
I saw that it was very close to Xingwang Pawnshop. It was in the office building of the nearby department store, and it was only two kilometers away.
It happened that I also wanted to relax, so I got off at the department store one stop earlier, went to a flower shop to buy a bunch of flowers, wrote my opening blessings, and followed the address Yi Dazhuang gave me to find it.
The area around here is not bad at all, and the office building is also very high-end, so the rent must be high. Sheng Minou was able to make up his mind to win a house here in such a short period of time, which shows that he has great ambitions for his new business and he is sure of winning.
Sheng Minou's office is called Jinshang Office, and it's very easy to find. You can see it when you get out of the elevator and turn left. There are two rows of flower baskets neatly placed in the corridor, and they all say that so-and-so congratulates the opening of the business, and so on. The flower baskets The luxury is beyond my imagination, and the bundle in my hand is quite shabby.
Xiao Suiguang also sent a flower basket, which was placed near the door. The flower material was novel and the colors were elegant. At first glance, it was very different from other flirtatious sluts.
"Sir, who are you?" The front desk stood up to greet me. Seeing me holding a large bouquet of red roses, he was stunned, as if he couldn't tell whether I was a guest or a worker who came to deliver flowers.
I smiled at her: "Is Lawyer Sheng there?"
Looking at the honest girl at the front desk, my cheeks flushed from my smile, and she said shyly: "Lawyer Sheng is not here, I went out to meet the client, and I will come back in the afternoon."
On the first day of opening, business came to our door, which is a good start.
"Can I wait for him here?" I asked again, "I want to give him the flowers myself."
The receptionist hesitated for a moment, when a tall and thin figure with a fashionable hairstyle came out of the inner office, the receptionist's eyes lit up, and he stopped him.
"Lawyer Wu, this gentleman said he wanted to give flowers to Lawyer Sheng himself, can you let him wait in the reception room..."
The young lawyer surnamed Wu bent his water glass and raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the red rose in my arms.
He put the black and gold mug on the front desk, and took out the opening greeting card I wrote to Sheng Minou from the flower branch.
"Although it's cold in Qingwan, my love for you always stays in summer, the hottest moment." He read and shivered, "Wow, it's so disgusting, it's signed by a person named 'Lu Feng', I never heard the teacher mention it."
I withdrew the card from his hand and stuffed it back into the flower.
"..." He looked at me inexplicably.
I smiled slightly: "I am Lu Feng."
