Chapter 6 Mad Dog Hotel

Half an hour later, Lu Qi found out the young man's identity.

"Let me introduce you all," the dean said with a smile, leading the group to the lounge. "This is our new colleague."

"Wow," Tian Miaoying whispered in Lu Qi's ear, "He really is a handsome guy, and he looks like he's mixed race. The dean wasn't lying."

Lu Qi pursed her lips.

The young man suddenly approached her in the morning, startling her. He didn't do anything after that, but the way he looked at her was rather peculiar.

strange.

Lu Qi initially wanted to describe it as "uncomfortable," but when she looked up, she instantly met the young man's gaze.

He stood next to the dean, his attention fixed on her.

Those round eyes were dark and moist, like black pearls just dug out of a clam, warm and tender.

Being constantly stared at is not an easy thing, especially when the other person is a grown man who is much taller than Lu Qi. Strangely, she didn't find the young man's gaze particularly uncomfortable.

Perhaps she was a little uncomfortable, but she didn't feel the panic she felt when other men were looking at her.

“Hello,” Lu Shi’an stepped forward first, extending his hand. “My name is Lu Shi’an, and this is my assistant, Huang Zhenyi. If you have any work-related problems, you can contact me or him.”

He started with a friendly question, "What's your name?"

The young man looked at him for a while.

After a short while, he pulled his hand out of his trench coat pocket, took Lu Shi'an's outstretched hand, and gave it a perfunctory shake.

That gesture made it seem as if shaking hands with him was a luxurious act of charity.

Lu Shi'an's smile froze slightly. He suddenly noticed that the young man had little white in his eyes, and his eye sockets were almost filled with his dark pupils.

Being looked down at by those eyes gave him goosebumps for no reason.

"Lulu."

Lu Shi'an was taken aback: "What?"

The handsome young man, almost unreal, slightly raised his chin: "Lulu. My name is Lulu."

Lü Shi'an: ?

He asked cautiously, "Which 'lu'?"

The young man frowned, looking impatient, and showed no intention of answering.

Facing the man who was five centimeters taller than herself, Lü Shi'an fell silent, her mind automatically filling in the blanks for the young man, probably "Lu Lu" or "Lu Lu", or perhaps he really was a foreigner and his name was "Lulur" or something like that.

"Then can I call you Xiao Lu?"

Lulu nodded indifferently.

Lu Shi'an stepped aside and said, "Little Lu, come with me to get a set of clothes. I'll introduce you to our hospital and tell you about your job."

Just as he was about to leave, the young man suddenly turned around and stepped out of the lounge before Lü Shi'an could.

Lu Shi'an was taken aback for a moment, then saw the young man walk familiarly toward the staff storage room, showing a good understanding of its layout.

With the newcomers gone, the lounge became lively again.

The two female assistants blushed and excitedly discussed the newcomer's appearance;

Tian Miaoying also wanted to chat with Lu Qi about the newcomers, but when she turned her head, she saw Lu Qi staring blankly at the door.

"What's wrong, Sister Lu?"

Lu Qi snapped out of his daze and took a sip of water.

"It's nothing," she said, her voice slightly hoarse from the hot water. "My dog ​​is also named Lulu."

"Is that the golden retriever in your house that had parvovirus?" Tian Miaoying laughed. "It should be a different name, right? Such a big man can't be named Lulu."

Lu Qi hummed in agreement.

That's really unlikely.

...

"This is the inpatient area. The downstairs is the general inpatient area, and the upstairs is the isolation area." Lü Shi'an showed the newcomer around the hospital. "Our hospital requires us to check the inpatient area every hour, record the data, and take videos to send to the staff."

He saw the young man's gaze fixed on a corgi in the quarantine area.

It lay motionless in the cage, a heating pad under its belly, its two front paws swollen from having IV needles inserted for so long.

Sensing someone in the room, it glanced at Lulu, then quickly lowered its eyelids, exhausted.

So weak was it that its hind legs and lower body were still twitching uncontrollably, and its muscles were trembling slightly.

Noticing Lulu's gaze, Huang Zhenyi sighed, "It's late stage of canine distemper, and the chances of a cure are slim."

Lu Shi'an patted Lulu on the shoulder, "All we can do is try our best. Don't think too much about it."

The two could understand the feelings of the newcomer. Even a veteran veterinarian with ten years of experience would feel the same way when faced with the loss of life.

In the somber atmosphere, Lulu reached into her trench coat pocket and took out an N95 mask.

Facing the dying corgi, he carefully put on the mask, pinching the soft wire at the bridge of the nose to ensure there were no gaps.

Behind the pure white mask, his dark eyes were indifferent, showing no sympathy for the corgi in the cage. He even took a half step back and glanced at the sick pets in the other cages with the same indifferent gaze.

Then he pinched the mask on his nose tighter.

Lu Shi'an and Huang Zhenyi were stunned.

Lu Shi'an frowned and reminded him, "Are you a non-professional student? Canine distemper is not contagious to humans."

Lulu didn't say a word, turned around and strode away from the quarantine area.

“He,” Huang Zhenyi was stunned, “how could he be like this?”

Lu Shi'an followed with a sullen face, his impression of the newcomer plummeting.

He caught up with Lulu, and before he could speak, the young man said from under his mask, "I know."

"What?"

Lu Shi'an always made him repeat what he had said, and Lulu said impatiently, "I know I don't pass it on to others."

"and you…"

I'm allergic to dog hair.

Lu Shi'an wondered if she had misheard. "What?"

Lulu glanced at the man beside her.

He knew what this man was thinking.

He is absolutely not right for her.

She wouldn't like a mentally challenged male who asks "what" three times in twenty minutes.

Even when Lulu was still a puppy, she only asked Lu Qi twice to teach her how to shake hands.

"Are you serious? You're allergic to dog hair?" Lu Shi'an sighed, rubbing her forehead. "Allergic to dog hair? How come you're in the pet industry?"

"It's not serious," Lulu said without any hesitation. "Being with too many animals makes me a little uncomfortable, but it doesn't affect my bodily functions."

In short, he will be in a bad mood, but physically fine.

Huang Zhenyi was shocked.

It takes a lot of passion for a person with a hair allergy to volunteer to work at a pet hospital.

He immediately felt a deep respect for Lulu and felt ashamed of his previous misunderstanding.

Lu Shi'an had a bit of a headache.

However, Anxin Hospital has no precedent of firing employees who have worked there for less than a month. He said tactfully, "Then stay for two days and see. If you feel unwell, let us know. In any case, your health is more important than your job."

"By the way, how long ago did you get your rabies vaccine?" Working in a hospital means you have to get the full rabies vaccine.

Lulu shook her head.

He had received many injections, but he was never able to get a vaccine.

"Then go to the hospital to get vaccinated this afternoon. I'll have Zhenyi take you."

After Lü Shi'an finished speaking, he noticed that the young man, whose attitude had remained indifferent, had changed his expression, and a strange expectation flickered in his eyes.

expect?

What are you looking forward to? Getting vaccinated?

Lu Shi'an frowned slightly. It had only been twenty minutes since they met, and he couldn't help but feel displeased with the new assistant.

And he also seemed to harbor some kind of hostility towards him.

While Huang Zhenyi took Lulu to the hospital for vaccinations, Lü Shi'an went to the dean's office.

"mom."

Dean Lü saw his son and smiled, "What do you think? Lulu's a nice person, isn't she?"

Lu Shi'an asked in surprise, "You think he's a good person?"

“Yes,” Dean Lü gestured for him to close the door. “He graduated with a master’s degree in veterinary medicine, which is a relevant major; he is also very polite, and you can tell that he has a good upbringing. Look at how he walks and sits, he doesn’t have a hunchback at all.”

"Never mind the rest, Mom, how did you tell he was very polite?"

"Isn't he polite enough? His smile is so sweet. I think you're just jealous that he's better looking than you." Dean Lü thought of something and laughed, "I remember now, he and Xiao Lu are both doing their bachelor's and master's degrees at K University. They should know each other. You should pay more attention to him."

Lu Shi'an laughed as well, "You knew that, yet you still provoked him."

"I'm not a dean who can't separate public and private matters," Dean Lü said, shrugging.

Dean Lü's high praise made Lü Shi'an wonder if he really had a prejudice against Lulu.

"Alright, I'm not a doctor who can't separate public and private matters. I'll definitely help him if I can in my work."

Dean Lü nodded.

Before leaving, Lü Shi'an hesitated and turned back, "By the way, what's his name?"

"Lulu."

Which "lu"?

Dean Lü pulled Lulu's resume from the bookshelf and handed it to him.

Lu Shi'an took it and saw that three characters were filled in the name column:

Lu Lulu

"..." He paused for a moment, "Do his parents have a grudge against him?"

Dean Lü smiled and said, "You can just call him Xiao Lu. He's quite cute, and it'll be easy to distinguish him from Dr. Lu."

"Dr. Lü!" an assistant at the front desk called out, "The owner of your appointment, Mina, has arrived."

"Coming right away." Lu Shi'an returned the resume to Dean Lu.

He took a few steps, then suddenly stopped.

Veterinary Medicine Bachelor's and Master's Degree Program...

Lu Shi'an frowned slightly. It was strange that a recent graduate in this major wouldn't have received a rabies vaccine.

The assistant had already led the client into the consultation room.

Lu Shian thought that perhaps Lulu's vaccine had simply expired.

A note from the author:

----------------------

Just as he was about to leave, the young man suddenly turned around and stepped out of the lounge before Lü Shi'an could.

Just because a dog walks in front of a human doesn't mean it thinks it's the boss and the human is the subordinate.

A dog's body structure is suited for jogging, which normally means it will run a little faster than a human walking.

However, Lulu was unwilling to be led by Lü Shi'an, so she took the lead and left.
