Shaking the water on his body, he picked up a stone to drive the noisy parrot away. Zheng Tan put the item back on his neck on the tree where the keys and access cards were hidden, and slid down the tree to the Jiao family building. Lou Xiao ran over.
Jumped up and swiped the access card, and ran all the way to the fifth floor.
Because it is an old building, many residents keep the grille security door. The same is true for Jiao's house. However, the lock of the metal grille security door of Jiao's house is broken, and the security of the family building is relatively high. Here is another five The building, generally no one comes up, so it has not been repaired, and the wooden door is enough.
The grille security door is wide open against the wall, so as not to block people from entering and leaving, because the door has a lot of rust over the years.
Zheng Tan jumped onto the metal grille door, hooked the grille on it near the door lock, clawed on it tightly, and then raised his legs to push against the wall. The grille door led Zheng Tan towards the door, and the rusted door shaft made a sharp screeching sound.
As he was approaching the door lock, when Zheng Tan was about to insert the key, the door opened from the inside.
Last night, Yi Xin borrowed Associate Professor Jiao's computer to write a thesis and fell asleep on the sofa when it was almost dawn. He woke up and went to the toilet when he was suffocated by urine. There was movement, and he bounced up in a chorus, and he ran to the door to open the door before he had time to put on his shoes. Boss Jiao said that the grille door would squeak when his cat came back.
Yi Xin had never understood the connection between the return of the cat from Boss Jiao's house and the sound of the grille door, but when he opened the door, he knew it and was stunned there. In front of him, a black cat hooked the metal bars on the grille with its legs and fur claws, with a key in its mouth, and approached the door lock with the creaking sound of the grille door shaft.
Zheng Tan obviously didn't expect that there would be someone at home, and he looked a little familiar.
Zheng Tan was thinking about who the person in front of him was, while Yi Xin was in a stunned state. For a moment, one person and one cat stared at him.
In the end, Zheng Tan first remembered the identity of the person in front of him. When Zheng Tan was secretly taken by Jiao Yuan and the others to Jiao's father's office, Jiao's father once told him about Yi Xin. At that time, Yi Xin was taking undergraduates to do experiments. , and a few other graduate students carried the samples to the public laboratory. Jiao Dad stood at the window and pointed at Zheng Tan.
Now that he has confirmed the identity of the person in front of him, Zheng Tan doesn't care anymore. Being able to come in must have been approved by Jiao Dad, and it must be trustworthy to be able to get Jiao Dad's approval.
Zheng Tan jumped off the grille door and went straight to the sofa.
In order to facilitate sleeping, Yi Xin put all the snacks piled on the sofa on the chair next to him.
Zheng Tan looked at the relocated snacks, counted them, and felt a little more satisfied.
Yi Xin was still standing there in a daze. Although he had recovered from the scene at the door, he was shocked by the situation over the chair. When I called Boss Jiao yesterday, Boss Jiao also told him not to eat the snacks on the sofa. If you want to eat, you can eat the ones stored in the second compartment of the refrigerator, but don't eat the ones that were originally on the sofa.
Yi Xin didn't understand when he called, but now, he understands, the cat just now stared at the snacks on the chair and clicked its chin. Was it actually counting? !
Zheng Tan ignored Yi Xin, who was in a daze. He was very hungry now, so he bit off the plastic packaging on the pudding and started eating.
Yi Xin looked at the black cat lying on the sofa, hugging and eating pudding, his face twitched, then moved to the bedroom and called Boss Jiao.
Zheng Tan put his ears up to listen to the phone call from the other side of the bedroom.
Yi Xin took the phone and said "Oh, oh" twice, then turned on the speakerphone, and Dad Jiao's voice came from the phone: "Heitan, answer."
Zheng Tan raised his head: "Wow—"
Yi Xin: "..." The sound is a bit special.
"Sounds good." Jiao Dad said, and then asked Yi Xin to turn off the hands-free, and there were still some things to tell Yi Xin.
Yi Xin held the phone and answered respectfully, but the expression on his face was helpless. After he was done, he hung up the phone, went to the kitchen to boil water, dragged out a white plastic basin on the basin rack, and washed it.
In the past, Yi Xin heard people say before graduate school that it is best to choose the kind of child who is enough for everyone to have no pets, so as to save time to help the children take care of pets. At that time, Yi Xin thought that everyone was just talking and playing. , Unexpectedly, now it's really my turn. You don't need to bring children, but this pet...
While adjusting the water temperature, Yi Xin thought, will he not be sent over to take care of pets often in the future? When Boss Jiao comes back, he must apply for a salary increase!
When Zheng Tan walked into the bathroom, he looked at the water in the basin, raised his palm and touched the outside of the plastic basin to test the temperature. It was just right if it wasn't hot or cold. Zheng Tan looked at the special shower gel next to the plastic tub, the towel stacked on the low stool, and the hair dryer placed there, and jumped into the plastic tub with satisfaction. Leaning on the edge of the basin, squinting and starting to take a bath.
Yi Xin, who was standing in the doorway, had been galloping a hundred times in his heart. He had seen a relative who raised a cat scratch his hands bloody while bathing the cat. This was the first time he saw this. A cat enjoying a bath with squinting eyes.
As expected of... Boss Jiao's cat.
When Zheng Tan felt that the water temperature was a little cold, he was about to get up to wipe his hair, but when he turned his head, he found a sesame-sized bug floating on the water, and his legs were still moving.
Against the white plastic pot, this little bug is quite eye-catching.
Yi Xin at the door was calculating the time. He could estimate the temperature of the water in the basin without a thermometer. He wondered why the cat inside had not come out. Wearing a plastic bath tub.
What's wrong with this? Yi Xin recalled what Boss Jiao said, and felt that there was no omission, but he was still worried and moved carefully. Soon, Yi Xin's eyes fell on the bug on the water. As Yi Xin, who was a good hand at picking bacterial colonies, a little bug naturally couldn't escape his eyes.
Nima, fleas!
What if there are fleas
kill!
and then
do not know.
Yi Xin was uncertain, ran to the bedroom and called Boss Jiao. Five minutes later, Yi Xin came to a cabinet and opened the door. There were some household chemicals in it. There were two bottles of pesticides and one bottle. The more well-known pyrethroid insecticide, another bottle has no name. What Yi Xin was looking for was this unnamed one, which was probably one of the results of a research project on pesticides that was co-operated by the Institute of Biotechnology and the Institute of Chemical Engineering a while ago. At this stage, only some insiders have the right to use it.
According to Mr. Jiao, Yi Xin sprayed some in several places in the house. As for Zheng Tan, he changed the water and soaked it again.
The most annoying thing is the long fleas. There are also fleas in the grass around the family area, but during this time, Zheng Tan often played there and never got into it. I didn't expect that this time, I would really get into trouble. It must be in the suburbs. In the thick grass over there.
Every time Zheng Tan found a flea in the water, he wiped it with his claws. Even if those fleas were suspected of drowning, Zheng Tan would not let them go. In this way, Zheng Tan repeatedly soaked for two hours before coming out and rolled on the towel.
Yi Xin took the hair dryer to help dry the hair, "Black charcoal, Mr. Jiao said, that pesticide is almost gone, let you... find someone to ask for it yourself, and by the way, get some medicine and apply it."
Yi Xin didn't know why Boss Jiao said that, just let him follow the cat when the time comes.
Yi Xin gave herself a tear in her heart, serving pets was more troublesome than writing papers.
After the hair on his body was basically dried, Zheng Tan shook his hair, walked to the door, and looked back at Yi Xin.
Yi Xin remembered what Boss Jiao said, and hurriedly put down the hairdryer and followed, took the key, and opened the door.
Zheng Tan leads the way, and Yi Xin follows behind.
Yi Xin was full of doubts, but facing a cat, it was obvious that he was asking in vain, and it was equally uncomfortable to hold it in his heart.
Zheng Tan went down two floors and stopped in front of a house on the third floor.
"Is it here? I ask..."
Before Yi Xin finished his psychological construction, Zheng Tan jumped up and smashed a volleyball on the grille security door of the house.
"Boom!"
Yi Xin's hair almost stood up. Although he didn't know who lived here, he knew that most of the people living in the East family area were seniors. He couldn't afford to offend him. A list appeared in Yi Xin's mind. Now Yi Xin only hopes that the people here are not any of these people!
Zheng Tan, no matter what Yi Xin was worrying about right now, he took two more shots in succession, each time louder than the other.
After the third shot, someone finally responded.
"Come on, come on! Knock three times, do you think I'm deaf?"
Hearing the voice is an old man, it seems, this voice is still a bit familiar? Yi Xin was nervous.
The door inside opened, and the lock on the grille door was pushed open, revealing an old stern face.
Seeing this person, Yi Xin felt a chill in his heart.
"Lan... Professor Lan Lanlan!"
Looking at the old man with a serious face in front of him, Yi Xin had the urge to turn around and run.
It's a pity that Zheng Tan didn't pay attention to Yi Xin at all, and walked in with his feet raised. He wasn't afraid of this old man, who owed him favors.
The interior of the house is very simple, with water stains on the floor.
Although Zheng Tan had just taken a shower and blew his hair, the hair on his feet was not completely dry. He went downstairs and got some dust. At this moment, he stepped on the floor with muddy foot prints.
"Little bastard! I just dragged the ground!" Professor Lan cursed.
Zheng Tan tugged at his ears, ignored it, and went straight in.
Professor Lan stared at the back of the swagger walking in, then looked at the cat's footprints on the floor, turned his head to Yi Xin and said, "You will wipe the floor later!"
Yi Xin: "…"
Paralyzed people hate bringing pets, especially cats!
