He Li had encountered lunatics who abused cats and then brought them in for treatment before, but they all shared common characteristics: impatience, irritability, extremism, and arrogance. Clearly, the girl in front of him did not possess these traits.
It seems she was genuinely a little annoyed because the kitten was wary of her.
The scrutiny in He Li's eyes faded, and he slowly said with a smile, "Yuan Jiang, you don't need to be too anxious. The kitten has just been abused, so it's normal for it to be wary of people and in a state of stress."
"Then how can I get him to kiss me?" Yuan Jiang frowned in deep thought.
"Try feeding her a cat treat?" He Li took a cat treat out of his pocket, tore open the packaging, and handed it to Yuan Jiang.
Yuan Jiang blinked her eyes, took the cat treat, eagerly opened the hospital cabinet, and carefully handed it to the tabby cat: "Naughty cat, try it quickly."
The tabby cat stopped baring its teeth and immediately shut its mouth tightly, staring intently at Yuan Jiang with its emerald green eyes, full of wariness and hostility.
Not to mention that it is a cat that has attained enlightenment and does not need to eat, it would never eat this cat treat if it was fed to it by a human!
Fake kindness!
Hypocritical! Disgusting! Pretentious!
"Hiss—!" It opened its mouth and hissed a sharp warning sound, its eyes fierce and sinister.
The girl was startled; her fox-like eyes widened, and she instinctively took a step back.
"Careful." He Li quickly caught the girl's waist, but his palm seemed to be burned. He involuntarily froze, feeling a tingling sensation on half of his body.
Through the thin clothes, he could feel the girl's slender and soft waist, and the fragrance lingering around his nose seemed to be a little stronger, and the darkness in his eyes gradually deepened.
After regaining her balance, Yuan Jiang avoided He Li's hand, lowered her brows and thanked him, "Thank you, Dr. He."
"You're welcome." He Li slowly withdrew his hand, closed the hospital cabinet, and looked at the still vigilant tabby cat, saying softly, "Yuan Jiang, give the kitten some time."
"It has just suffered inhuman abuse and it is unlikely that it will easily trust humans again."
Yuan Jiang lowered her head in disappointment, her fox-like eyes overflowing with heartache and dejection as she looked at the hunched tabby cat through the glass: "Then I'll come see you again tomorrow. Be a good girl and get your shot, okay?"
The tabby cat stared at her without saying a word.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."
After she finished speaking, Yuan Jiang followed He Li out.
The door slammed shut. The tabby cat remained alert for a few minutes, only relaxing after confirming that the girl would not return.
It calmly thought about it and realized that for now, it could only stay here to recover. Once it regained its magical powers, it would definitely teach that woman who abused it a lesson! And those cat traffickers too!
Outside the door, He Li glanced at the time: "It's too late now. Where do you live? I'll take you home."
“No need, I live nearby.” Yuan Jiang shook her head and refused, saying as she walked out, “Dr. He, I’ll come see the kitten again tomorrow.”
Despite being rejected, He Li remained unfazed, followed after her, and pulled out his phone: "Let's add each other on WeChat then. Let me know when you get home."
"Um?"
Seeing the girl's confused look, he smiled and said, "You are the owner of the kitten. As the owner of this shop, it is only natural for me to worry about the safety of my customers."
Yuan Jiang raised an eyebrow, took out her phone, scanned his QR code, and added him as a friend before leaving.
As the girl's figure gradually disappeared, He Li's smile widened.
