Chapter 74 Goodbye
In the end, Kan Zhao agreed.
Seeing that Kan Zhao was unmoved, Lu Dai had no choice but to use his trump card. After all, he had already made a promise in front of Xin Ke.
He promised that as long as Kan Zhao went this time, he would not bother Kan Zhao with any matters, big or small, in the future. He would also take care of all the sign-in requests and give Kan Zhao full PU points, once and for all. He was exercising his privileges as the president.

That day happened to be Saturday, the day Lin Qingxu was preparing to confess her love to Kan Zhao.
In fact, Lin Qingxu has been hesitating about this matter these days.
People always attribute what they don't understand, what they can't grasp, and what they can't obtain to fate. When they lose something, they sigh, "Alas, it was God's will."
It was such a coincidence that he saw Le Yao’s Weibo that night. No matter if it was earlier or later, Lin Qingxu would not doubt the so-called guidance from God.
Although she was not a staunch materialist before, she was indeed not very sensitive to things like metaphysics.
perhaps……
The scales of hesitation swung back and forth, but ultimately settled on a willingness to give it a try.

Lately, Jin Yuanbao and Kan Zhao have been locked in a cold war. He refuses to eat the cat food he feeds him, and while he doesn't breathe on Kan Zhao when he pets him, he swiftly flees his presence. His conscience is playing tricks on him, and the cat appears listless.
Lin Qingxu thought it was sick and asked Doctor Qin, but the answer he got was to go to the hospital for a checkup. After all, Jin Yuanbao's symptoms were rare, and he missed Jin Yuanbao a lot.
The time was scheduled for Saturday morning. Because Kan Zhao had something to do, Lin Qingxu took it with him alone.
When Dr. Qin saw Jin Yuanbao, he kissed the cat twice on the face. The cat pushed him away with its paw in disgust.
However, after further examination, it was found that there was nothing wrong with Jin Yuanbao's health.
But there is one thing...
The test report showed that the calorie intake and expenditure were seriously uneven. In short, the patient ate too much.
But the amount of food he gave Jin Yuanbao every day was fixed, and sometimes he would add a little cat food as afternoon tea. Especially recently, he sometimes refused to eat, and even Kan Zhao's canned food didn't work.
so……
Lin Qingxu looked at Jin Yuanbao, who awkwardly swung his tail, meowed, then looked away guiltily, pretending to look at the scenery outside the window.
Damn it! It clearly destroyed all the leftover cat food, so how did it get discovered?

They bought a lot of supplies for cats in the hospital, including the extra cat-branded stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets. Dr. Qin was happy to see them to the door, waved goodbye, and told them to come to him if they had any problems in the future.
Because this pet hospital is located in a downtown area, the surrounding area is quite prosperous, with shopping malls, stalls, and a lot of traffic.
Gold ingots rarely come out like this.
Before, because it was young, it was afraid of being in crowded places and would get stressed. Later, facing the end of the near future, Kan Zhao and Lin Qingxu were also very busy.
It was rubbing its head against the cat bag and looking outside through the transparent isolation layer, its eyes watery and full of curiosity.
There is a new gold shop opened next door.
Lin Qingxu was carrying a cat bag and was about to take a taxi back.
But then I heard a very soft "meow" from the cat's bag. I looked down and saw Jin Yuanbao's head almost touching the transparent window, his eyes bright and amazing, staring at the ornaments in the gold shop sign in front, and his nose subconsciously moved forward.
"Is this what you want?" Lin Qingxu asked it.
Jin Yuanbao looked up at her and responded loudly.
Seeing Jin Yuanbao's eager look, Lin Qingxu didn't hesitate. He turned off the screen of his phone, automatically exited the taxi-hailing interface, and walked towards the gold shop.
"Welcome!" the clerk greeted us warmly.
The lights in the store are bright and the counter glass is polished to a shine.
Lin Qingxu asked gently, "I just saw your gold ingot pendant. I think I like this one... well, it's called a gold ingot." She paused, "Could you tell me if there's a style that would suit it?"
I bought gold for the kitten to wear and play with. Far from being surprised, the clerk actually became intrigued. She looked at the gold ingots in the kitten's bag and smiled sincerely, "What a beautiful kitten!"
She enthusiastically led Lin Qingxu to the center counter and showed her the two middle models. "This one, made of pure gold, might put pressure on a cat's cervical spine." She then carefully took out the hollowed-out necklace that still had the shape of an ingot. "But you can take a look at this one. Although it's also made of pure gold, it's lighter overall and looks almost the same as the previous one."
"Take out a few red string bracelets with peace lockets and small blessing plaques. The strings are retractable and adjustable. They're lightweight, won't constrict the child, and are also very safe. Can you let the little one try them first?"
After obtaining Lin Qingxu's consent, the clerk helped unzip the cat's bag. Jin Yuanbao initially flinched cautiously, but with Lin Qingxu's soothing gestures and the clerk's careful handling, he was quickly taken out. The clerk expertly placed a red string with a miniature peace lock around his neck, adjusting the tightness.
The golden yellow gold sets off the fur on the gold ingot, making it look even more noble.
"Come, look in the mirror and see if you like it?" The clerk smiled and held a small mirror in front of it.
Jin Yuanbao first tilted his head in confusion, then saw the cat in the mirror with gold ornaments around its neck and its body seemingly covered in a layer of soft golden light.
It froze for a moment, its amber pupils dilated slightly. It cautiously twisted its neck, feeling the tiny yet real weight, then raised its paw and gently touched the warm gold.
The next second, a look of obvious pride replaced the initial bewilderment. It unconsciously puffed out its furry chest, held its round head high, and even its tail began to flick modestly, the tip of its tail curling in a delighted arc.
The little abacus in my mind was clattering.
—Humph, after I get back, I must go to the places where cats and dogs often hang out in Nanmei and Nanchuan University! Let Erdan and Wangcai see them.
Just imagining those envious eyes, Jin Yuanbao couldn't help but become even more proud, and his tail wagged even more happily.
Lin Qingxu looked at its appearance and couldn't help laughing, "Then I'll take this one."
She followed the clerk to go through the formalities.
The clerk skillfully packed the cat and wrote the sales receipt. She smiled and said, "This cat is so well behaved and not afraid of people. You really take good care of it."
"Thanks."
There were other salesgirls helping to look after Jin Yuanbao, and he wasn't shy. He licked his paws and let these pretty girls touch him.
The clerk handed the completed receipt to Lin Qingxu. Just as she was signing her name, she suddenly heard Jin Yuanbao screaming in pain from the display cabinet.
This was followed by the shrill cry of a child.
Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately turned to look towards the display case.
Jin Yuanbao was surrounded by strange men and women. Because it was from the back, his age could not be seen, and the short person in the front was probably their child.
Lin Qingxu hurried over and saw that Jin Yuanbao's once smooth and fluffy back had a small patch of fur bald, revealing the skin underneath. It huddled against the counter, its amber eyes filled with hostility. As it saw Lin Qingxu approach, a hint of grievance appeared in its eyes, and it meowed at her.
It won't be able to go out and play for a long time. The bald cat will be laughed at by other cats in school.
Lin Qingxu held it in his arms and comforted it gently. Looking down, he saw the little boy with a scratched hand crying with his hands covering the back of his hand, which had a few shallow red marks on it.
Although she had recently cut Jin Yuanbao's nails, judging from the scars, Jin Yuanbao obviously did not use his full strength when he was frightened and resisted, but was just pushing away instinctively.
She also saw the original scene. If it weren't for the obstruction of several nearby shop assistants, Jin Yuanbao would probably have been injured by the boy's mother.
At this moment, the boy's mother's angry words to the cat owner to get out came to an abrupt end, and then turned into a strange silence.
The boy who was scratched cried even harder when he saw Lin Qingxu only comforting Jin Yuanbao and ignoring him. He loosened his hand and grabbed Lin Qingxu's sleeve, crying, "Sister! Cat scratched me! It hurts!"
The word "sister" was indeed a bit strange. Lin Qingxu then looked at the boy's face again, and found that he was somewhat similar to her.
She was a little surprised.
When she looked up again, she saw Lin Haidong...
