He Li frowned, surprised that he could see displeasure in a cat's eyes. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the tabby cat's bright eyes were crystal clear. He scoffed at himself for overthinking and slowly said, "You can be discharged after the IV drip is finished today, but the injury on your leg will need more time to heal."
"It should be able to stand up again in about two weeks."
Yuan Jiang nodded, her pretty face close to the ward cabinet, and softly asked, "Mimi, do you want to come home with me?"
The tabby cat's tail gently swept across the ground, and its eerie green bark met the pair of watery fox eyes. In Yuan Jiang's eyes, it saw itself sitting upright.
Should I go home with her?
But there's a bad woman in that house.
If a bad woman abuses it again, will the human girl protect it?
It hasn't regained its magic power yet, otherwise, why would it need human protection?
Seeing that the tabby cat didn't react for a long time, Yuan Jiang frowned as if in distress and sighed: "If you don't want to come home with me, then I'll have to help you find an adopter."
Going to someone else's house?!
The tabby cat froze, instantly choosing between the unknown human and the beautiful girl before it.
"Meow~" it opened its mouth and meowed.
"Are you coming home with me?" Yuan Jiang's eyes lit up. It seemed that the kitten had lowered its guard against her!
The tabby cat's ears twitched, avoiding Yuan Jiang's gaze, and it awkwardly meowed again, "Meow~"
But does the human girl really not hold a grudge against it for scratching her?
It was somewhat confused, truly unable to understand humans. The wicked woman was vicious and vented all her hatred on it, while the human girl was gentle and bright, smiling even at the cat that had scratched her.
Is this affection only for it, or for all cats?
The tabby cat's expression turned serious.
"Dr. He, the kitten has accepted me." Yuan Jiang smiled broadly, opened the ward cabinet, and reached out her bandaged hand to stroke the tabby cat's head.
A flicker of resistance crossed the tabby cat's eyes, but it quickly vanished, and it nuzzled against Yuan Jiang's palm, meowing.
The human girl was its savior, and it will repay her.
He Li couldn't manage a smile. He wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to bring up the fact that the tabby cat could be discharged from the hospital? Yuan Jiang was very resistant to him now and clearly didn't want anything to develop. If the tabby cat was discharged, how would he see Yuan Jiang more often in the future?
But faced with the girl's radiant smile, he could only manage a forced smile: "Congratulations."
Yuan Jiang smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Thank you."
The tabby cat was very light, weighing only seven pounds. Yuan Jiang held it in her arms without any difficulty. After He Li finished giving her her second vaccination, he offered, "Your hand is injured, and it will be uncomfortable for you to hold the cat all the time. I'll take you home later."
"No need to trouble yourself," Yuan Jiang said instinctively.
"No trouble at all, there's nothing much going on at the hospital anyway." He Li opened a drawer, picked up his car keys, and stepped outside: "Let's go."
Yuan Jiang pursed her lips, looked down at the tabby cat with its eyes closed, weighed it in her hand, and realized that her arms were a little sore from holding it for so long. After thinking for a moment, she picked up the cat and followed him, saying, "Then thank you, Dr. He."
"If you want to thank me, why don't you treat me to dinner another day?" He Li joked, leading Yuan Jiang to the parking lot, opening the passenger door, and slightly raising his chin to indicate that she should get in.
Yuan Jiang, holding the cat, sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt: "Okay."
"Then let's do it tomorrow night." He Li sat in the driver's seat and stepped on the gas.
The tabby cat, its brows furrowed with suppressed irritation, finally opened its emerald green eyes and hissed at the gift: "Hiss—ha—"
She kept babbling on and on the whole way!
Is this doctor in heat? Is he displaying his peacock tail to attract the attention of a human girl?!
"Little cat, what's wrong?" Yuan Jiang asked gently, her expression surprised, as she rubbed the cat's head.
The tabby cat gave Yuan Jiang a disdainful look, meowed, and felt a surge of jealousy rising in its heart.
Why does she look so stupid?
Can't you tell this male has ulterior motives towards her?!
Or does she also have feelings for men?!
The tabby cat meowed irritably at Yuan Jiang, becoming increasingly frustrated, and then sulked in Yuan Jiang's arms.
He Li once again sensed hostility from the tabby cat. He frowned in confusion. He had personally treated the tabby cat's injuries during this period, including feeding it and giving it injections every day. Logically speaking, he was the tabby cat's benefactor, so why did it hate him so much?
"It seems the kitten has a bit of a temper."
