Before going home, Mu Wan and Lin Wei went to the pet store first. It was her first time raising a cat, and she didn't know anything. The clerk warmly recommended it, and Mu Wan accepted it all, and bought two full boxes.
After the things were packed, Lin Wei took the clerk to load the things into the car, locked the door and came over. Mu Wan was paying the bill.
Lin Wei rested her arms on the cash register, watched Mu Wan swiping her card, and said with emotion: "You're a mother before you get married."
The clerk at the cash register was a little girl. Hearing what she said, she laughed and said, "What's the matter? Every clerk in our store has a cat."
"You like it so much?" Lin Wei asked.
"Yes." The little girl smiled, her eyes sparkling, as if she remembered something, "Your cats are still young, when they grow up, when you go out and come back, they will squat at the door waiting for you when you open the door, still meowing." Meowing to welcome you home. And with the company of pets, you are not alone anymore."
"It's still too early for my three to grow up." Mu Wan said, thinking about the scene of the three cats squatting at the door waiting for her in the future, and couldn't empathize with her. It's been a long time since she felt like being waited for, and it's her first time raising a cat, and she's still dazed.
"The cat grows very quickly," said the clerk, "it can run around in less than two months."
After taking the bill, Mu Wan took it, thanked her with a smile, and got into the car with Lin Wei.
After Mu Wan was sent home by Lin Wei, Lin Wei was called away by her colleagues in the studio. Mu Wan put the kitten on the sofa, unpacked the two boxes, took out the cat litter, and poured goat milk powder. After arranging the kitten properly, she went into the bathroom.
I didn't come back for two days, and the bathroom was a mess.
The water stains mixed with blood on the ground had dried up and floated dryly on the floor. She lived alone, even if she was taken to the hospital by ambulance and recovered from her injuries, she still had to clean up the mess at home by herself when she came back.
Mu Wan turned on the faucet and wet the ground with water. There was a long stream of water in the faucet, with great momentum, hitting the ground with a popping sound.
In such a loud voice, Mu Wan heard a soft meow, and almost instantly, she turned on the faucet. There were still unfinished drops of water in the faucet, which hit the ground almost silently.
"Meow~" Now, Mu Wan heard it clearly.
As if her heart was overturned by the water, she hurried out of the bathroom.
She put the kitten in the bedroom, in the corner next to her bed. The kitten was very small, so she bought the smallest cat litter, with three little fluffy balls inside, still as big as the universe, and they were like three little stars, twinkling inside.
The little ones have not yet opened their eyes. After hearing the footsteps, they closed their eyes and raised their heads. The pink flesh pads pressed against each other and climbed up, as if they were looking for something.
Mu Wan took the baby bottle filled with goat milk powder, and the little guy who had just had enough, started sucking again with the pacifier in his mouth.
Will I eat too much
Mu Wan took the pacifier aside.
The three little guys meowed and scrambled to climb up, ten thousand were not happy.
Mu Wan quickly put the pacifier back.
After all the tossing, Mu Wan was in a hurry, squatting at first, and then simply sat on the floor. The floor was cool, but Mu Wan was sweating all over.
The three cats have the same mother, but they are completely different, one is orange, one is orange and white, and the other is black and white. The orange head is bigger and stronger, so it should be the boss. The orange-and-white one has a white face and body, except for two orange spots on the back and tail. As for the one with black and white mixed colors, the black has been mixed on the head, parted from the forehead to the bottom, as if the hair was parted in the middle.
Mu Wan arranged the names of the three kittens in order, the eldest was Datou, the second was the second, and the third was middle.
After taking the name, Mu Wan put away the feeding bottle, and the three kittens were full, with chubby bellies, lying in the cat's nest and meowing with their heads up. Mu Wan put her hand in the cat's litter, and the three little guys sniffed her first, then slowly laid their heads on her hand and fell asleep.
The hand was placed in the cat's nest, it was very soft, and the three small heads pressed on it were very warm.
The light outside the window is getting brighter, the sky is clear, and something grows quietly somewhere in my heart. Mu Wan looked down at the three cats, and suddenly there was a picture in her mind about the scene of the three kittens sitting in a row waiting for her that the pet store clerk said.
She is really like them. She was born without a father, and after her mother died, she was alone.
"But you are much luckier than me." Mu Wan's fingers moved slightly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, "I have nothing, but you have brothers and sisters, and me... a stepmother."
After finishing speaking, Mu Wan herself laughed first.
When Liu Qianxiu arrived at the office on Monday, the little nurse said to him: "Doctor Liu, the three flowers you often feed died a few days ago."
The hand holding the pen paused, Liu Qianxiu looked up and asked, "How did you die?"
"I was hit by a car." The little nurse sighed and said, "I heard from the head nurse, she also said that Sanhua gave birth to a litter of kittens, and she was going to take them home to find friends to adopt when she got off work at night. But when I went to look at it after get off work, it was gone.”
After finishing speaking, the little nurse was a little worried, and said, "Did someone take it away? Newborn kittens are not easy to feed. It's fine if you adopt them. I read the news that there are many perverts looking for kittens to abuse..."
After closing the medical records, Liu Qianxiu's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Prepare for the surgery first."
The little nurse who was immersed in worry came back to her senses, and hurriedly followed after saying "oh". She thought that Liu Qianxiu often went to feed Sanhua, so she should have a good relationship with Sanhua. But since she said that Sanhua was killed, Dr. Liu's expression didn't change much.
She knew that Dr. Liu's nickname was Daoist Liu, and judging from this matter alone, he really had a bit of an airy and meaningless temperament.
Liu Qianxiu went to the security room of the hospital after get off work at noon, and retrieved the monitoring records of the previous two days. By the bushes at the entrance of the hospital, few people passed by, but there were quite a few cars parked.
The monitor fast-forwarded, and when someone appeared, Liu Qianxiu clicked the mouse to stop the fast-forwarding.
The woman in the video is slender and well-dressed. Standing in front of the bushes, she bent over and leaned forward. When she got up, there was a fluffy ball in her arms.
She stood there, clumsily holding the kitten in her arms, and was talking to another woman. After she finished speaking, she looked up at the direction of the camera and walked out of the screen.
The monitoring screen switched, light and shadow flickered, and the man's facial features were deep and distant. He focused his gaze on the frame that was frozen after the video went backwards, and the light reflected in his eyes, still as silent as a deep pool.
"What is she holding in her arms? A kitten?" The security guard at the side glanced at the picture, obsessed with the beauty of the woman in the picture, but because Liu Qianxiu was here, the topic turned to the kitten, "Stray cat, This young lady is very caring, but the cat is too small, so I don’t know whether to keep it or not.”
Liu Qianxiu got up, thanked the security guard, opened the door and walked out.
When Mu Wan received the call from Liu Qianxiu, she had just been let off from the wire. After the rain that lasted for several days stopped, the air was full of steam evaporated by the sun, damp and hot. Mu Wan stood in the shade in front of the city wall, wearing a men's ancient costume, her whole face was flushed with heat.
"Hello." When Mu Wan spoke, her forehead was a little itchy. She scratched it, and sweat dripped down her fingertips.
"I'm Liu Qianxiu." The man's voice was still deep, like a spring on a high mountain, cool and refreshing.
This is a bit strange.
Today is Monday, and the little nurse said that he will return to the hospital on Monday. Mu Wan remembered that when she was discharged from the hospital, she told Lin Wei that she would treat him to dinner when he came back, but she forgot about it as soon as she was filming.
"You're back. I'm sorry last time, and thank you very much." Mu Wan squatted down, the heat in the costume rose, and her face became hotter. She smiled and said politely, "My injury has healed." , why don't I treat you to a meal after you get off work today."
"No." The refusal was concise.
The smile on Mu Wan's face receded like a cloud in the sky, her tone was still bright, and she asked straightforwardly: "Oh, then who are you calling me?"
Liu Qianxiu was sitting in the office. The office was very quiet, except for the crisp sound of paper, and a corner of the ambulance records on the desk was blown up. His tone was calm and peaceful, still concise.
"I want a cat."
When he said that, Mu Wan finally understood. He and Sanhua are so familiar, probably also know that Sanhua is pregnant. When she came back from vacation, she found Sanhua dead, and the monitoring found that Sanhua's kitten was taken away by her.
But when they first met, Mu Wan asked him, and he said that Sanhua was not his cat. Then, he has no right to take back the kitten under Sanhua.
With the tip of her tongue slightly touching the roots of her teeth, Mu Wan smiled calmly.
"Oh? Which one do you want?"
Her voice is like a flower, the petals are tight when answering the phone, and later, step by step, the petals open, exuding a unique fragrance of women. She turned into a cat again.
Her voice in the ear overlapped with the voice in the corridor in memory. The woman's soft body seemed to be still in her arms, her slender arms were tightened, and her body was steamed with alcohol.
She was drunk and forgot about this, Liu Qianxiu still remembered.
The air conditioner finally blew up a page in the note book at hand. The A4 paper was thin and white, and there was a form printed on it. The font in the form was neat: name, phone number, address...
Liu Qianxiu didn't answer, the assistant director called for someone to film, Mu Wan withdrew her thoughts and her voice returned to normal.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Liu, the cat belongs to me and I can't give it to you. If there's nothing else, I'll go to work first."
After all, she hung up the phone.
At work in the afternoon, the little nurse met with the head nurse, and the topic has become what is a good deal for Taobao's mid-year promotion, and Sanhua is never mentioned again. After sighing, the dead Sanhua was like a rime on a tree, falling silently into people's snow-like memory, without a trace.
An operation was performed in the afternoon, and after signing, Liu Qianxiu got off work on time. After getting into the car, the car started, and after driving out of the hospital, it disappeared into the commuting traffic.
It was sunny this morning, and the asphalt ground that had been exposed to the sun for a day had returned to scorching dryness, while the dirt ground was only half-dried, and some weeds grew on the dark brown soil, exuding vigor under the shade of the triangular maple tree. vitality.
Compared with Nanfeng Apartment, this neighborhood is very dilapidated, with clear sunlight shining through the tree tops on the mottled building walls, revealing a sense of vicissitudes of decay. Telephone poles stand against the wall, and the wires on the rough floor are straight and complicated, connecting the buildings one after another. On the antenna suspended between the two buildings, birds occasionally landed on it.
Liu Qianxiu walked into the first building in the second row of the community. The corridor was very dark, and there was still a musty feeling that had not been dried by the sun. The white paint on the stair railing had fallen off, and mottled rust fell on it, like These are spots on the shells of quail eggs.
The house here is very old. There are stairs at the entrance, and the basement next to the stairs. The entrance to the basement is dark and quiet, and there are some sundries piled beside it. The steps of the stairs are not high, and the edges of the steps are smooth, and it has been stepped on by countless people.
The corridor is very cramped, and there is a small window on the platform connecting the two floors. After several days of rain, the small window was washed clean, and the sunlight shone in through the glass, cutting the ground into several different grotesque lights. piece.
When Liu Qianxiu was about to reach the third floor, he heard the sound of the door opening. He stood on the platform between the second and third floors and looked up.
Mu Wan was standing on the stairs. She was wearing a green waistcoat and denim shorts. Her long hair was tied up, revealing her white and straight collarbone. On the slender neck, the palm-sized face was charming and bright, her brows were slightly frowned, and after seeing Liu Qianxiu, the center of her brows relaxed slightly.
The man stood against the light, under the cold white skin, his facial features were deep and his temperament was light. He stood in the narrow corridor, like porcelain buried on a shipwreck under the sea. Only a corner of it was illuminated by the light, and it was difficult to conceal his nobility.
Mu Wan looked at him, her red lips moved slightly, and her voice echoed slightly in the corridor.
"Doctor Liu, are you here to see me?"
Without answering her question, Liu Qianxiu focused his eyes on her embrace, where a black and white kitten was wrapped in a turquoise blanket.
"What's wrong with it?" Liu Qianxiu asked.
Mu Wan looked down at the middle part of her arms, the corners of her lips pressed down slightly, and her voice lowered.
"It's not very good."
The author has something to say: Mu Wan: Oh? Which one do you want
Daoist Liu: The one who is not good.
Don't be in a hurry to scold Mu Wan, the cat is nothing serious.
In addition, for everyone who doesn't understand Liu Qianxiu and Mu Wan, I have already paved the way for the second chapter, Mu Wan's birthmark. It's true that Mu Wan doesn't know Liu Qianxiu, and Liu Qianxiu doesn't know her, but they have a relationship, and I'll talk about the relationship later.
So there is a reason for Liu Qianxiu to go to Mu Wan now, or to check Mu Wan. And there is a reason for not asking her directly about some things. It is not a bug, nor is it a collapse of human design. thank you all.
Ah, I forgot to thank Mrs. Han Shu for the names of the cats. The big head, the second tube, and the middle part are all the names of the kittens that her sister Yu gave birth to in her last litter. he he he he he.
