Chapter 44 You're still the best!
Lin Yan'an directed Pei Xingyu to carry the things, and the two entered the pet rescue center.
Looking at the somewhat dirty and messy environment before them, and smelling the mixture of disinfectant and the barely concealed odor of damp cat and dog food and animal feces, both of them couldn't help but frown slightly.
The electronic doorbell rang the moment I stepped through the door.
Welcome!
Upon hearing that cold, electronic voice, the staff at the rescue center quickly called out from behind, "Wait a moment, we'll be right out."
Lin Yan'an turned his head to look and saw rows of iron cages piled up in the narrow aisle.
The cage had some mottled marks, but it was impossible to tell whether they were bloodstains or something else.
In the corner of each cage huddled a small, pitiful animal.
There are cats, dogs, and rabbits...
As if they had heard the noise, they all looked up at Lin Yan'an and his companion.
However, their reactions were quite different after seeing it.
Some of them lit up instantly, whimpering and nudging closer to the cage.
Some turned around in panic and huddled together.
"Coming, coming! Sorry to keep you waiting."
Staff members wearing blue protective suits quickly ran out.
As he removed his gloves and mask, he said with a smile, "Yesterday, a lot of animals in need of rescue were suddenly brought in, and I'm just applying medicine to them."
He finished speaking and smiled shyly, "We're a bit short-handed, so things are a little chaotic. Please forgive us."
Lin Yan'an shook his head upon hearing this and asked in a low voice, "Are those cats badly injured?"
The staff member shook his head with a wry smile: "A few were seriously injured, but the others are okay."
He sighed and continued, "However, they may be a little frightened and are very resistant to our examination."
Lin Yan'an understood, and after a moment's thought, said, "I... might not be very popular with small animals."
He looked up at the staff and continued to explain, "In the past, when those little animals saw me, they would run away. Those that couldn't run away would quietly huddle in a small corner, not daring to move."
"Should I go help you?"
The staff member was taken aback. Looking at his serious expression and then at the cat's head peeking out of his pocket, he scratched his head in confusion and asked, "It would be great if you could help, but..."
He pointed at Zhong Suisui and continued with a smile, "But I think you're quite popular with small animals."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an's lips curled up slightly. He raised his hand and gently tapped Zhong Suisui's head, explaining with a smile, "She's an exception."
"Okay, since you'd like to help, please come with me to get your protective suit and put it on. By the way, my name is Yu Hongxin, I'm the owner here, and also a veterinarian. Just call me Dr. Yu. What are your names?"
"Lin Yan'an."
Pei Xingyu quickly added, "My name is Pei Xingyu."
After he finished speaking, he held up the things in his hand and asked, "Dr. Yu, where should I put these things? My uncle bought them for the small animals."
Yu Hongxin quickly thanked them and reached out to help take some: "Thank you on behalf of these little cuties."
"Thank you for your expense, just leave it here for now."
After putting his things away, the two of them followed behind him and began to help.
Doing volunteer work in this environment
It was a novel experience for both of them.
The two of them spent the entire afternoon here.
Zhong Suisui had no idea when she had fallen asleep in the pocket again.
When it woke up again, it poked its head out of the pocket and saw its father feeding other kittens!
What happened to it being special?!
Zhong Suisui's eyes widened instantly.
It immediately opened its mouth and meowed, "Daddy!"
Lin Yan'an turned his head to look at the clothes he had placed on the chair, then at the kitten's head peeking out from under the clothes, and his eyes lit up with a smile: "Sui Sui is awake."
Pei Xingyu, who was already slumped in his chair from exhaustion, instantly perked up upon hearing this.
He quickly sat up straight and turned to look.
Looking at Zhong Suisui's clever little face, he smiled and reached out to pick her up, saying with great emotion, "You're the best."
[Meow? What?]
Pei Xingyu looked at its puzzled expression, shook his head, and remained silent.
Instead, he got up, picked it up, walked to Lin Yan'an's side, put it down, and said, "Here, I know you're attached to your dad."
Meow~ Thank you.
As if it smelled a familiar scent, the kitten, who was lying on the hospital bed eating, moved its head and looked up with some difficulty.
Meow~ Meow~
The kitten's voice was weak and feeble, with a thin, drawn-out ending.
Zhong Suisui couldn't resist peeking out out of curiosity.
Seeing this, Lin Yan'an reached out and placed it next to the kitten.
Then she picked up a cat treat and handed it to the weak kitten, saying gently, "Eat some more."
【Meow~ Eat obediently.】
"Meow"
The kitten seemed to understand Zhong Suisui's words. After looking up timidly at Lin Yan'an, it opened its mouth and bit the cat treat again, eating it one bite after another.
In the dim light, Lin Yan'an fed the kitten with a cat treat in one hand and gently stroked Zhong Suisui's head with the other.
Pei Xingyu was looking down at his phone replying to Zhong Yang's message.
The moment I looked up and saw what was in front of me, I couldn't help but snap a picture and send it over.
Compared to the clean and tidy Lin Yan'an at noon, he still had some sweat on his forehead, and his white shirt was stained with dirt.
But his expression was very kind, and the warm yellow light, along with the two cute kittens under his command, dispelled the terrifying coldness emanating from him.
Just looking at it, you can almost feel the warmth.
Zhong Yang was no exception.
Although he felt comfortable calling her "brother-in-law," it was based on his sister's choice and legal recognition.
In reality, he still felt that the gap between the two of them was too large.
Even though his sister said it was a mutually beneficial arrangement, he couldn't see a future for them.
He couldn't say whether he was being overly anxious or overthinking things.
But at this moment, this photo undoubtedly shattered his prejudice against Lin Yan'an.
I never imagined that my brother-in-law, who seemed so refined and untouched by worldly affairs, would spend an afternoon volunteering at the shelter.
Even more unexpectedly, Pei Xingyu, who couldn't even wash vegetables properly, joined in the work.
A smile appeared in Zhong Yang's eyes.
Holding her phone, she replied, "When are you coming back? I've prepared some clean clothes for you."
Let's have hot pot tonight. I've already prepared it; we'll start cooking as soon as you get back.
Pei Xingyu: No problem! We'll go back after my uncle feeds the cat.
[Pei Xingyu: Let me tell you, you didn't see it. When we first arrived, all the doctors and nurses were catching cats everywhere. But as soon as my uncle came in, all the cats immediately froze on the spot, too scared to move!]
Pei Xingyu: You didn't see that scene? It's truly something I've never seen before.
[Pei Xingyu: And that cat in the photo, how old is it? Those beasts even locked it in a cage!]
[Pei Xingyu: Luckily, my aunt is here, otherwise they wouldn't have survived.]
