Chapter 120 Lingling and Caiqi
The school bell rang, and Lingling walked out of the school listlessly, carrying her schoolbag.
She looked around and didn't see her father coming to pick her up, so she went back to her usual place and sat down, waiting for her father to come.
As soon as Shen Yijin arrived at school, she saw Lingling sitting on a chair with her head down, reciting a book.
"Lingling, long time no see, did you miss me?" Chen Yijin smiled and walked to Lingling, handing her a bag of cookies, "I specially brought you some strawberry sandwich cookies, I wonder if you still like them now."
Lingling heard the familiar voice, looked up in surprise, saw the smiling Chen Yijin, and jumped into Chen Yijin's arms.
"Sister Shen, I miss you so much!" Lingling rubbed against Shen Yijin's arms like a kitten.
Before the original owner was kicked out of the Shen family, she would give Aunt Wu a day off when school was almost over, and let her pick up Lingling and go home after dinner.
Sometimes, when it was too late, the original owner would let Lingling stay at home for one night and ask the driver to take Lingling to school the next day.
Therefore, Lingling had a very good relationship with the original owner. After not seeing each other for several months, Lingling missed Shen Yijin very much.
Just like in the original owner's memory, Chen Yijin gently rubbed Lingling's little head: "Sister is here to pick you up from school today, are you happy?"
"Happy!" Lingling the chicken nodded like pecking at rice.
Seeing Chen Yijin, Lingling was of course happy, but she still had doubts: "Sister Chen, I heard from mom that you won't live in that house anymore, so where did you move to? Did Lingling make me unhappy? Why didn't I let you play with me?"
Aunt Wu did not tell Lingling that Shen Yijin was expelled from the Shen family. It was her employer's family's private matter, and she couldn't tell the child about it.
So Lingling just thought that Shen Yijin had simply moved and didn't know that she was still living in someone else's house.
Chen Yijin's smile froze for a moment: "Because my sister lives far away from the city now, it will be too late for Lingling to go to my sister's house after school. When Lingling is on summer vacation, I will have time to let mom bring you to my sister's house to play, okay?"
Lingling nodded obediently: "Okay. So sister, are you going to take me home now?"
"Don't go home yet. Sister will take you to dinner, and then go home after dinner." Chen Yijin felt that the old talk was almost over, so she said, "Actually, Sister came here today to ask Lingling a question."
Shen Yijin hadn't said what she wanted to ask, but Lingling seemed to have expected it. Before Shen Yijin could speak, she asked, "Is it because of Caiqi? Caiqi actually wanted to leave a long time ago, but I couldn't bear to let it go, so I kept dragging it... Sister, you said Caiqi is so cute, it just lay there quietly, and didn't provoke anyone, how could anyone hate it?"
Children are very sensitive. Lingling knew that her abnormal behavior had made her family worried. She also thought about sending Caiqi away, but she couldn't do it.
Because when Caiqi encountered a car accident, she witnessed the whole process...
The soul-state Colorful Flag sat on Lingling's shoulder and licked her cheek with its tongue. It wanted to comfort her, but Lingling couldn't see it.
Shen Yijin glanced at Caiqi, and with just this one glance, she saw Caiqi's short life.
In these few short years of cat life, what Caiqi remembers most is the scenes of him playing with Lingling.
Did I miss something? How come Lingling raised the colorful flag before the host even spoke? 】
[That stray cat named Caiqi is so pitiful. From what Lingling said, it seems like someone deliberately hit it to death...]
[People who have pets at home can't stand hearing this. Woohoo, don't use a kitten knife to kill me! 】
Shen Yijin’s live broadcast was still on, but she put her phone in her pocket, so the audience couldn’t see the picture and could only judge what was happening through the sound.
Shen Yijin is doing this to protect Lingling. Lingling's school and appearance will not be exposed, and her future life will not be disturbed.
"Because some humans are fragile and incompetent, when they cannot change the troubles they are facing, they will take it out on the things around them. In the eyes of these people, cats and dogs are even weaker beings. When they themselves are bullied by more powerful humans, they will take their anger out on the small animals and forcibly write the crime on their backs.
They vent their negative emotions on the dumb animals, thinking that they have been redeemed, but in fact, they are no different from these dumb animals. No, they are not even as good as small animals. ”
Shen Yijin had already figured out what had happened, and when she answered Lingling's question, she somewhat included some of her own emotions.
Lingling felt a little sad when she heard this. She was still young and couldn’t fully understand what Shen Yijin said.
Lingling was even a little panicked, afraid that she would become such a person in the future.
If she was destined to become that way when she grew up, she would rather not grow up.
Shen Yijin noticed Lingling's emotional changes and realized that what she said was a bit cruel to Lingling.
She softened her tone and said to Ling Ling, "It is wrong to hurt small animals, but no one has the courage to stand up and stop it from happening. Unlike Ling Ling, she dared to call the police to catch the person who hurt Caiqi."
Lingling was even sadder, tears falling from her eyes: "But I can't do anything. Caiqi is a stray cat, and the police can't do anything to that person..."
The law is to protect people, but the colorful flag is not a person, and even the police cannot do justice for it.
"Lingling is still young and has no ability to help Caiqi, but I believe that Lingling will be able to do it when she grows up. By then, no one will dare to hurt small animals at will." Shen Yijin coaxed softly.
Lingling was not comforted: “Sister Shen, please don’t lie to me. Even the police uncle can’t do it. What can I do when I grow up?”
Although she is not yet an adult, Lingling has already realized her insignificance. She doesn't think she will be able to change everything when she grows up.
This is Lingling's heart knot, and it is also the most important reason why she is unwilling to let Caiqi go.
Lingling was afraid that what happened to Caiqi would happen to other small animals, and she would be unable to do anything except watch their lives slip away.
"Lingling, do you know about pet rescue?" Chen Yijin gently patted Lingling's back, looked into her eyes and said, "'Protect the ecology, cherish every life', this is the meaning of pet rescue. If Lingling feels that she has no ability to change humans, then try to snatch life from the god of death, and do her best to give every dying animal a new life."
Lingling's eyes lit up instantly, and she seemed to know what to do next.
"Can I really do it?" Lingling was not very confident.
Shen Yijin nodded: "Of course, I remember you are good at science, you should work harder to study biology in the future."
Chen Yijin told Lingling about the work of the pet rescue center. The more Lingling listened, the more fascinated she became. She had already begun to imagine herself rescuing animals in the future.
As she was talking, Shen Yijin changed the subject: "But these are all things for the future. Now, do you want to come with me and send Caiqi off for the last time?"
