On the day before his cat cafe opened, Shen Cheng found a cat-eared girl who had fainted from hunger at his shop's entrance. From then on, his world underwent earth-shattering changes.
A ...
After waking up Meng Nian and letting Meng Nian enter his body, Shen Cheng drove to Mio City No. 2 High School with Shen Die and Xiang Xin.
The pace of life in high school is extremely tight and fast, especially for senior students.
When Shen Cheng drove the car to Mio City No. 2 High School, it was the peak period for students to enter the school. Looking around, there were crowds of people, and almost all the students gathered in groups of three or five, forming small groups.
"Brother, let's go!"
"Well, don't fall asleep in class. I'll pick you up after school in the evening." Shen Cheng reminded with a smile.
The reason why he drove to pick them up every morning was so that they could sleep a little longer at home to avoid feeling sleepy in class.
"Okay, goodbye, Brother Shen Cheng!"
After watching Chen Die and Xiang Xin walk into the school hand in hand, Chen Cheng sat in the car for a while, and finally chose to get out and get some fresh air outside.
Although it was still early, there were already quite a few passers-by on the street besides these students.
At a glance, Shen Cheng could also see a few girls wearing hats, looking back and forth on the street with curiosity, as if they had discovered some new world.
Chen Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud. He immediately guessed that these girls were Huanya, because when he took Cheese out for the first time, Cheese's expression was exactly the same as theirs!
Although the existence of PhantomAsia has been exposed for quite some time and the PhantomAsia Symbiosis Act is already known to everyone, many PhantomAsia still conceal their characteristics when they go out.
"Are those two pretty girls from your family?" At this time, a voice came from behind Shen Cheng. Shen Cheng turned his head and saw an uncle standing there with a cigarette in his mouth.
Chen Cheng still remembered this uncle. When he first came to pick up Xiang Xin from school, this uncle even handed him a cigarette.
"One is my sister, and the other is a friend's child." Shen Cheng replied with a smile.
"Oh..." The uncle nodded. "They look about the same age as my children. They're about to take the college entrance exam, right?"
"Yeah." Shen Cheng nodded, then said, "It's better to smoke less. It's not good for your health."
The uncle waved his hand: "It's okay to smoke two, it's no problem."
At this time, a girl wearing a hat on the road seemed to feel a little stuffy, so she lifted her hat a little to let in some fresh air. As a result, a gust of wind blew and blew the girl's hat away.
"Ah!" Seeing the two dog ears on the girl's head exposed, the middle-aged woman accompanying the girl exclaimed and tried to cover the girl's ears in panic.
As a result, the passers-by around were just stunned for a moment, and then they all cast kind eyes towards them.
The existence of Phantom Asia is nothing new to the public, especially in Mio City. Because of the existence of Light Spot Cat Cafe, the citizens of Mio City are obviously more accepting of Phantom Asia than those in other cities.
Chen Cheng reached out and caught the girl's hat that was blown away, then walked forward and handed it to the middle-aged woman. After thinking for a moment, Chen Cheng said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't wear these things."
The middle-aged woman was also a little dazed by the situation around her. It was Shen Cheng's voice that brought her back to her senses. She took the hat handed to her by Shen Cheng and cast a grateful look at Shen Cheng.
"Thank you, big brother!" The dog-eared girl also smiled and thanked Shen Cheng.
Nodding, Shen Cheng turned around and returned to his original position.
"That girl is... Huanya?" The uncle raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yeah." Chen Cheng sighed, "I never thought people would be so accepting of them. I thought it would take some effort to integrate them into society."
"What's so hard to accept about this?" The uncle shrugged. "It's just a pair of ears growing on an ordinary person."
"Too."
After blowing the wind for a while, Shen Cheng estimated that the time was almost up, so he said to the uncle: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"It's time for me to go to work." The uncle threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out, then picked it up and threw it into the trash can: "Bye, little brother."
"Yeah, bye."
…
At this time, in Mio City Central Hospital.
A young man pushed a wheelchair into the hospital. Sitting in the wheelchair was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat decadent.
"Dad, don't worry. This machine can even cure leg diseases like Mr. Hu's. You will be fine." The young man looked at his father and said.
The middle-aged man looked at his son, who should be of school age, sighed, and nodded even though he didn't hold out any hope.
His legs were injured while he was working at a construction site two years ago. Since then, he has lost all feeling in his legs.
Although the construction site compensated him accordingly afterwards, there was no labor force in his family, so no matter how much money he had, it would all be wasted.
In order to supplement the family income, his son dropped out of school early to work, and his wife took care of him at home.
For this reason, the middle-aged man blamed himself several times and wanted to commit suicide several times, just to avoid becoming a burden to his family.
After making an appointment at the hospital, the young man found a doctor with the help of a nurse.
The doctor first examined the middle-aged man and asked how his injury was caused. After understanding the cause, he said, "Your injury can be treated with a tissue repair device. Our hospital has previously treated a patient with a similar condition."
"Uh...ah?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, a look of disbelief on his face, and stammered, "Can...can it be cured? Doctor, are you saying...can I stand up again?"
The doctor nodded, but still said conservatively: "Ninety percent probability."
"How much...how much?" The man's lips were trembling.
"These two legs, roughly estimated to cost 300,000. The specific situation will have to wait for the next physical examination report."
“…”
The middle-aged man was silent.
After a moment, the middle-aged man sniffed, and two lines of turbid tears slowly flowed from his eyes.
"This is the normal charge. It's the same if you go to other hospitals," said the doctor.
"No... no, I will treat it, I will treat it! I just... I just feel it's too..." The middle-aged man choked and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
He didn't think it was expensive; on the contrary, he felt the price was far below his expectations.
As long as he can stand up again and support his family again, what does three hundred thousand mean?
After the decision was finalized, the young man took his father for a checkup and then began treatment with a tissue repair device.
After removing the device, the doctor looked at the middle-aged man's legs and said, "Try to move your legs."
The middle-aged man nodded, held his breath, looked at his legs, his face flushed red.
And under his force, his legs slowly lifted a short distance...
