After seven years of being a "simp," she's reborn and no longer pursuing the aloof sc

Chapter

"Zhizhi, you've arrived."

Aunt Hui is always warm and friendly, with a smile in her eyes. Every time I see her, she is kind and gentle. I have never seen her get angry in all the time we have known each other.

One day, there were very few people coming to the pet store. Soon it was evening, and I glanced at the sky outside. It was gradually getting dark.

“Aunt Hui, I’m on duty today, so you and Qiaoqiao can go home and rest early.”

"Okay, then be careful. Make sure to lock the outside door when it's night."

Aunt Hui gave me a word of advice, still worried.

"Okay, Aunt Hui, don't worry. Qiaoqiao should be out of school by now. Go pick her up."

"Okay, be careful. Call me if anything happens."

I watched Aunt Hui leave and then went back to the pet shop. In the evening, someone came in. I looked up and was about to speak when I saw Fu Yiran walk in.

"Mom, you..."

Before Fu Yiran could finish speaking, he saw me at the counter, immediately shut up, and asked in surprise, "Nanzhi, you're still here so late?"

"Yes, it's Qiaoqiao's birthday today, so I asked Aunt Hui to go home first. Is there something you need from her?"

"Nothing, just came to check."

Fu Yiran's eyes sparkled, and his tone was gentle.

"Oh."

I nodded and went to feed the cat, but Fu Yiran stopped me.

"Nanzhi, I have something I want to tell you."

Fu Yiran pulled me back, her voice tinged with trepidation.

I stared at him suspiciously and smiled, "What is it? Tell me."

"Actually, Aunt Hui is me..."

Just as Fu Yiran was about to confess, a couple rushed in from the door, the girl holding a cat in her arms.

"Doctor, please take a look. Nannan hasn't urinated all day and it seems to be in a lot of discomfort."

I rushed over immediately, and seeing the sickly cat in her arms, my brow furrowed: "Don't worry, how long has it been like this?"

"It started yesterday afternoon. It went to the toilet frequently, but just couldn't pee. When it was at home, it always went into the box or the cabinet and wouldn't let us see it."

"Doctor, you must save it, it's our only son."

Hearing the girl's anxious voice, I immediately reassured her, "Calm down first, let me check it first."

"Nanzhi, I'll help you."

Fu Yiran walked towards me and helped me.

"The situation is serious. Male cats have smaller urethras to begin with, and now that the urethra is blocked, they are going to the toilet frequently, but they can't urinate."

I watched as Fu Yiran earnestly explained to the girl.

"So what do we do now? Is this situation serious?"

The girl looked nervous and spoke urgently, while the boy next to her muttered impatiently, "What could possibly be wrong with a lousy cat? The vet is just trying to fool you; it'll probably be fine in a few days."

"What do you know? This is the last thing my mother gave me. Even if she's lying to me, I'll accept it, as long as it can cure my cat."

The girl yelled at the boy, then looked at me pleadingly, "Please, I'm willing to spend any amount of money to cure my cat."

Looking at the girl's excited face, I comforted her, "Don't be nervous, it's not a big problem. We'll insert a catheter for three days to let the urine flow out and relieve the symptoms. You'll also need medication and IV fluids, and you'll need to stay in the hospital for observation."

"Okay, how much is it? I'll pay."

The girl looked at the cat with a reluctant expression.

"Let's insert a catheter first."

Just then, a tall figure walked in from outside the door. I looked up and saw that it was Gu Jinhuai. The man was wearing a dark brown overcoat, with a white knit sweater and black casual pants underneath.

"What's going on?"

Gu Jinhuai frowned and looked at the boy. His eyes then swept over me, and his surprise turned to anger when he saw Fu Yiran next to me.

I noticed that suffocating gaze and instinctively looked away.

"Doctor, please, you must cure Nannan. She is my life. If she dies, I... I won't live either."

"Don't worry, we will do our best to treat him/her."

Fu Yiran and I exchanged a glance, then I took the cat to the operating room to insert a catheter.

"Doctor, may I come in?"

The girl asked anxiously.

"Hello, my surname is Zhou. You are not allowed to enter the operating room, so please don't worry, everything will be fine."

After comforting the girl, I carried the cat and went inside with Fu Yiran, one after the other. Just as I was closing the door, Gu Jinhuai squeezed in sideways.

"you……"

I frowned.

"Don't worry, I won't cause trouble."

Gu Jinhuai's words were concise and to the point: the cat was more important. I didn't say anything more and simply closed the door.

Fu Yiran arranged all the necessary items for the one-time surgery, and I gently placed the cat on the operating table.

"Are you ready?"

Fu Yiran glanced at Gu Jinhuai, then focused entirely on treating the cats. She looked at me and asked a question.

"Well, let's get started."

I calmly placed it on the electronic scale and weighed it.

Then I prepared the anesthetic, handed the needle to Fu Yiran, and controlled the cat's limbs so that Fu Yiran could slowly inject the medicine into the cat's body.

We worked together seamlessly throughout, and our attention was entirely focused on the cat. I even ignored Gu Jinhuai's icy gaze.

After watching the cat slowly fall asleep and calm down, I helped Fu Yiran successfully insert the catheter.

Soon, a lot of fluid came out of the catheter, and gradually blood appeared.

It didn't stop until more than ten minutes later.

"All right."

I breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the cat that was gradually waking up, and a relaxed smile appeared on my face.

Looking up, she found that Gu Jinhuai was turned to the side, not looking in her direction.

I paused for a moment before recalling from my few memories that Gu Jinhuai was afraid of red.

It's a rather unpleasant memory to think about this.

To pursue Gu Jinhuai, I specially wore a red backless dress. I have naturally fair skin, and the red dress made the color even more vibrant.

But when I went to see Gu Jinhuai, he looked gloomy, tore his clothes to shreds, and warned me never to wear red again.

I will never forget his disgusted look, which deeply hurt my heart.

Since then, I have rarely worn red, and I won't buy red for any small items in the house, even apples.

"Nanzhi, let them in."

"it is good."

Fu Yiran's voice pulled me back to reality. I pushed open the door, and the girl was waiting anxiously. I invited her in.

When the girl saw the blood in the paper cup, her eyes reddened. Looking at the cat lying on the operating table, barely alive, she couldn't hold back and sobbed softly.

"How is it?"

I exchanged a glance with Fu Yiran and slowly said, "The situation isn't very good right now. There's blood in the urine. We'll keep you here for observation for three days. You'll be on IV fluids during these three days. I'll let you know if there are any problems."

"Stop pretending. It's just a cat. What serious illness could it have? If you ask me, you're just exaggerating because you want money."

"Sir, it is our responsibility to treat animals. Please do not make malicious assumptions."

Fu Yiran pulled me behind her and talked to the boy herself.

"Who knows what you're thinking?"

The boy glared at Fu Yiran, still stubborn.

"That's enough, this is my cat, it's none of your business."

The girl wiped away her tears and paid the money directly.

"I've paid the money. I hope you can cure my cat. If anything goes wrong, I won't let you off the hook."

The girl wasn't one to back down either; her tone carried a threat.

I know very well that the people around Gu Jinhuai are either rich kids or sons of officials, and none of them are good people.

I stood next to Fu Yiran, my attitude serious. "Don't worry, we'll do our best to treat it, but whether it can urinate on its own after three days depends on it."

"There are two reasons for this. The first is related to its diet, the quality of the cat food and cat litter."

That's impossible. I used only the best imported products for it.

The first option is eliminated for girls.

I paused for a second and then said the second possibility: "Another possibility is that it reacts to a stress response when it sees a stranger or goes to an unfamiliar environment."

During this period, in addition to the knowledge I learned at school, I also learned some related knowledge about veterinary medicine.

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl glared fiercely at the boy.

I didn't want to see a world war, so I directly asked him to leave, but Gu Jinhuai didn't leave.

Are you planning to stay here for the night?
