Chapter 73: The Self-Torture Tactic. Really, I lost to you again. Who made me...
After looking at the monotonous snow scene for a long time, it is no longer surprising. In the past two days, the snow outside has started to melt, the outdoor temperature has dropped, and the cold wind is biting.
When the weather gets cold, Shi Shang doesn't want to go out anymore. She stays in her villa every day painting, reading, and occasionally live streaming.
And for every live broadcast, there is always a loyal viewer waiting on time.
Ever since Lu Tinghe was removed from his blacklist, the man never missed saying good morning and good night to Shi Shang every day. He would also post some interesting things recently, or ask Shi Shang what she wanted to eat.
Shi Shang ignored him at first, but gradually, she would occasionally reply with a question about what she wanted to eat.
Later, their chats became more and more frequent, and apart from meeting and video chatting every night, there was no difference from before.
When it was time for meals, Shi Shang would find a mysterious brown paper bag at the door of the villa, which was filled with his favorite food.
He opened the curtains and looked down from the second-floor window, but the SUV parked on the corner was nowhere to be seen.
I don't know whether the man went back or moved to a place where he couldn't see him.
Yesterday, Shi Shang even found a shirt from a paper bag, which still had the fresh scent of lily of the valley on it.
It was obvious that its owner had just worn it and had not yet washed it.
Shi Shang's cheeks were flushed. He hadn't eaten properly for several days and was a little hungry.
Unexpectedly, Lu Tinghe even knew his eating frequency. Shi Shang cursed the man in her heart for being shameless and decided to throw away the clothes as soon as she got back.
But at night, he changed his pajamas into this shirt.
Lying in the warm bed, the familiar scent of lily of the valley floated quietly at the tip of his nose, surrounding him tightly, like a warm embrace.
Shi Shang quietly closed her eyes and fell asleep, having the best sleep she had in recent times.
The next day, after waking up from a wonderful dream and looking at the wet sheets beneath her, Shi Shang's brain froze for several minutes.
Then he slowly raised his hands and buried his red face in his palms. From his neck to his ears, it was all red.
Shi Shang sat on the bed for a while before getting up. She resigned herself to taking off the sheets and quilt covers and stuffing them all into the washing machine.
Taking a final look at the wrinkled shirt stained with unknown liquid, he felt annoyed and didn't want to keep it anymore, so he simply threw it into the trash bag.
The room was well heated and filled with a rich, sweet smell, making Shi Shang feel a little breathless.
If I stay any longer, I don’t know what he will do. It’s better to go out for a walk and change my mind.
Shi Shang put on a hat, scarf and gloves, wrapped herself tightly from head to toe, and went out in the biting cold wind.
The boy walked forward with his feet clattering on the soft snow, seemingly nonchalantly, but his ears were paying attention to the movements behind him.
After turning two street corners and hearing another pair of footsteps slowly approaching, he raised the corners of his lips and strode forward.
The two of them understood each other tacitly, one in front and one behind, tacitly maintaining a distance.
This villa area is very expensive to build, and each single-family villa occupies a large area, so the owners do not interfere with each other.
In addition to the interior of the villa, green areas and entertainment facilities also occupy a large area, and are managed by staff every day.
It's no wonder that Shi Shang suspected that the teacher was doing the work of a fraud again. Such a large sum of money to buy a villa, unless he made a windfall, it doesn't seem like the miserly teacher's own work.
The weather is cold, and when the crisp wind blows, it feels like my mouth is filled with ice cubes, and every breath is filled with coolness.
Shi Shang walked aimlessly on the road, becoming more and more energetic as she walked.
Before he knew it, he had wandered into the small garden. The snow on the grass had been almost cleared, the paths were clean and tidy, and from deep within the garden, the fragrance of plum blossoms wafted in the air.
There is a unique charm in appreciating plum blossoms after the snow. Shi Shang also wants to find a secluded place where no one is around to talk to the man behind her.
He stepped onto the path and was about to move forward when he suddenly heard a faint cat meow beside his ear, "Meow... Meow..."
There was no one around, and in the empty garden, the only sound was the rustling of snow falling on the branches.
Shi Shang blinked in confusion. Is there a cat?
It's unlikely that the neighbors' cats and dogs would go out in such cold weather.
The security in the community is very strict, and each entrance is guarded 24 hours a day.
Even if a stray animal accidentally sneaks in, it will be discovered by the security guard immediately and sent to the nearest animal rescue station.
The voice was so quiet that Shi Shang wondered if he had misheard. He stopped, held his breath, and listened carefully.
"Meow..." The kitten called again, even softer than before, but Shi Shang could hear it clearly this time.
It wasn't his illusion!
He immediately followed the sound and carefully explored the bushes in front.
"Meow..." The cat's cry became smaller and smaller, weaker and intermittent, and it seemed that it had reached a very dangerous stage.
Shi Shang squatted down beside the grass and peeled off the wet dry grass. A gray and white cat suddenly came into view.
The white cat was extremely thin and lay weakly on the ground. Its fur was wet by the melted snow and stained with gravel and dust, and its original color was almost unrecognizable.
Noticing Shi Shang approaching, it cried out twice in a pitiful and helpless voice. It tried to prop up its two legs, but couldn't even stand steadily. It looked at him as if asking for help.
Because the white cat was trying hard to stand up, Shi Shang noticed that the kitten had thin limbs and an abnormally large belly that was shrinking.
Not only is it pregnant, it is also in the stage of difficult labor!
Shi Shang's eyes widened anxiously, and she immediately raised her voice and shouted outside, "Lu Tinghe!"
"What's wrong, Shang Shang?" The man ran up hurriedly.
Shi Shang said anxiously: "The kitten had a difficult birth, the situation is not good, we need to rush to the hospital!"
Lu Tinghe saw the white cat curled up in the grass. Without saying a word, he took off his coat, squatted down, put the weak kitten into his warm coat, and picked it up.
The kitten suddenly left the ground, startled and frightened, and subconsciously struggled and kicked his hands twice.
Lu Tinghe frowned, but quickly relaxed his brows. Without changing his expression, he gathered the corners of his clothes and changed his position to make the kitten more comfortable in his arms.
The kitten realized that he had no intention of harming her, so she slowly stopped moving and calmed down in his arms.
The man gave Shi Shang a reassuring smile and said softly, "Don't worry, Shang Shang, my car is nearby, we will take it to the hospital now."
With Lu Tinghe around, his panicked heart instantly calmed down.
Shi Shang calmed down and said, "Okay."
Because Lu Tinghe was driving, the white cat moved to Shi Shang's legs.
As time passed, the cat's meows became quieter and its breath gradually became weaker.
Shi Shang gently touched the kitten's head and secretly released the magic of soothing.
Although the succubus cannot interfere with human life, he is willing to do so even if it can make the kitten feel a little more at ease.
After some effort, they finally sent the cat that had given birth to the hospital.
The doctors and nurses took the kitten from them and immediately started the delivery operation.
Two hours later, the doctor walked out of the operating room, nodded at the two, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, the mother cat and her two cubs are safe."
As soon as he finished speaking, the nurse came out pushing the incubator.
Shi Shang's gaze fell on the box. The white cat had just given birth and was still a little weak. She was licking the heads of her two children with her head down.
The two kittens were both yellow and white, very small, and wet all over. They snuggled up to their mother cat and couldn't even open their eyes.
Seeing the three kittens in good health, Shi Shang's heart finally settled down and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Tinghe withdrew his gaze from the boy, and his frown relaxed. He asked the doctor, "Thank you for your hard work. Can we take them out of the hospital today?"
"It's best not to," the doctor shook his head. "The mother cat is a stray cat. She's not getting enough nutrition, and she had a difficult birth. She's too weak."
"It's best to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation and then get a thorough checkup."
Shi Shang nodded: "Okay, then let's go to the hospital first. Thank you, doctor."
The nurse sent the kittens to the inpatient department. Seeing them sleeping quietly in the warm room, Shi Shang finally felt relieved.
Thinking of something, he patted his head and said in frustration, "Oh no! The situation was so urgent just now that I forgot to ask in the owner group. The cat is missing, and its owner must be very worried."
"It's okay, Shang Shang," Lu Tinghe said softly, "I just asked, it's not a cat from the neighborhood."
"The security guard checked the surveillance footage and found that the white cat had run in from outside this morning. Its fur happened to be white, which is why it went undetected."
Shi Shang looked at him suspiciously: "When did you ask—no, why are you also in the owner group?"
Lu Tinghe: "When I was having the surgery, I asked in the community group."
As for the second question, he glanced at Shi Shang, paused, and added: "I also have property in the villa area where Shang Shang lives."
Shi Shang: ...
I almost forgot that Lu Tinghe is a super rich man.
He should have thought that the other party could enter the villa area so easily without some tricks.
If he didn't say anything, and didn't know where Shi Shang had gone, Lu Tinghe changed the subject and said hurriedly, "Shang Shang, it's getting late. I'll take you home first and come back to see them tomorrow."
Shi Shang went out for a walk. It was already late, and he had been waiting in the hospital for several hours. Now it was completely dark outside.
The kittens were all resting, and there was nothing much they could do here, so Shi Shang nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Soon, Lu Tinghe's car stopped in front of the villa.
Neither of them said goodbye.
Shi Shang unbuckled her seat belt, thought for a moment, and said to the person next to her: "Lu Tinghe, you helped me again."
Hearing this, Lu Tinghe's voice suddenly lowered a few degrees: "Why is Shang Shang so polite to me? Do we still need to care about this before?"
"Letting Shang Shang rely on me is what I should do."
Seeing the man's obviously depressed expression, Shi Shang's heart suddenly softened.
He was about to say no when he suddenly discovered that there were two obvious red marks on the inside of the man's left wrist.
Shi Shang's heart tightened, and she asked softly, "How did your hand get hurt? Let me see it."
Lu Tinghe stretched out his arms towards him and explained, "When I was holding the cat just now, it kicked me twice."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Shi Shang lowered her head and turned his arm over and over to check it.
Fortunately, the two red marks were very shallow and there was no sign of broken skin or bleeding, so he didn't need to get an injection. He breathed a sigh of relief.
He lowered his brows and said, "I don't want Shang Shang to worry about me."
Shi Shang disagreed: "Then you can't just not deal with it, right?"
Lu Tinghe was silent for a few seconds, glanced at the tightly closed carved door, and whispered, "I still can't go in now."
"Shangshang, don't worry about me. I'll disinfect and bandage it myself when we get back."
Shi Shang thought for a moment and nodded: "Well, I really can't let you in."
The self-torture plan failed, and Lu Tinghe's smile immediately froze on his face.
He just deliberately rolled up his sleeves, revealing the red marks on his arms that were about to fade away, just to wait for Shang Shang to soften her heart and say something to keep him.
The man forced himself to pull the corners of his stiff mouth, but before he could open his mouth to make amends, he heard Shi Shang say.
"Since you can't go in, let's go to your house tonight."
Shi Shang turned her head away and didn't see the flash of surprise in the man's eyes.
The corners of the boy's lips curled up slightly.
Seriously, I lost to you again.
Who made me love you so much?
