During this period, Shi Yan had countless opportunities to return the vaccination record sheet to Sheng Yuan, but he did not. Instead, he took it out on the day when Sheng Yuan was finally going to take Xiaoman away.

"Because I took you home when I was a child—"

As soon as Sheng Yuan finished speaking, Shi Yan was stunned and looked a little surprised.

The reason why he was surprised.

It was because of the day when Sheng Yuan brought Xiaoman to the veterinary station - no, it was earlier, on a rainy day a few months ago when he carried the fever-in-coma Sheng Yuan to Aunt Fan's clinic, and Sheng Yuan looked at him with a strange look.

It's like looking at someone you've never met.

Shi Yan thought that Sheng Yuan had long forgotten what happened when she was eight years old.

It turns out that she remembered.

Shi Yan's dark pupils lit up slightly, but in the next second, he heard her say to him: "Actually, you don't have to be like this."

The girl looked at Shi Yan calmly with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and said in a clear and distinct voice: "I was eight years old at that time, too young and a bit playful, so I brought you back to my home. I was a little puzzled, because I was playful at that time, and you took me to the hospital to treat my wounds and cared about the time for my vaccinations. What did you want?"

"I didn't intend anything."

Hearing Sheng Yuan's words, the young man in front of him became visibly panicked.

He was the same age as her that year.

At the age of sixteen, his facial features have not yet fully developed, but from the eyebrows, to the bridge of the nose, to the jaw, his cold face is already delicate enough.

He had just passed the voice change period, and his voice was clear and sincere, which was unique to teenagers. He said that he had no ulterior motives.

Sheng Yuan said: "I don't even know your name."

Shi Yan wanted to answer: "My name is——"

Seeing that he didn't understand, Sheng Yuan interrupted: "What I mean is that you have no obligation to do this for me. In essence, we are just strangers."

She looked at him and added, "It will always be that way in the future."

“…”

The air was quiet for a moment.

Shi Yan slowly lowered his eyelashes, and after a while, he said softly: "I understand."

"Yes." Sheng Yuan nodded, still maintaining a polite distance: "No matter what, thank you. Someone will give you the medical expenses in the next two days."

Shi Yan: “Got it.”

He didn't look at Sheng Yuan again. His sparse eyelashes blocked most of his dark and bright pupils, making his profile look a little cold.

…

Sheng Yuan took Xiaoman away.

She kept her promise, and within two days someone really found Shi Yan and returned the medical expenses that Shi Yan had spent on taking Sheng Yuan to the hospital.

Shi Yan answered it.

…

A week after Sheng Yuan took Xiaoman away, she came to the veterinary station again.

She has something to ask Uncle Fan.

Sheng Yuan opened the cat bag, and out of it came a kitten. It looked to be only three months old, pure white, with long fur and heterochromic eyes.

"I found it on the roadside when Xiaoman was out. I hope you can adopt it."

Uncle Fan was surprised: "Ah? Such a cute cat, and it seems to recognize you, little girl, why don't you raise one yourself?"

Sheng Yuan was silent.

So, it was "normal" for her to have a wolf.

But it's not "normal" for her to keep a docile pet like a cat.

Sheng Yuan only said to Uncle Fan: "I will bear its lifetime expenses."

Uncle Fan certainly didn't agree because of the money, but seeing that Sheng Yuan trusted him so much, he agreed.

…

Inside the veterinary station.

Uncle Fan stood in front of the cage, bent over and stared at the white long-haired kitten inside.

The veterinary intern joked, "Master, no matter how cute this cat is, you can't see the flowers when you look at it like this, right?"

Uncle Fan glared at his apprentice and said, "I just can't figure it out."

"Confused? Confused about what?"

Uncle Fan murmured, "Does it cost half a million dollars to pay for a cat's lifetime expenses?"

Sheng Yuan transferred 500,000 yuan to Uncle Fan at one time. When Uncle Fan received the bank card information, he was stunned - is this what it means to be a child of a wealthy family?

The veterinary intern didn’t hear clearly: “Master, what did you say?”

Uncle Fan didn't intend to say: "Nothing."

At this time.

The welcoming bell rang.

The two turned around.

"Xiao Yan is here."

Uncle Fan smiled, and then expressed his concern for Shi Yan, because he felt something was wrong with Shi Yan these past two days, and he felt lost, and thought Shi Yan was sick.

Shi Yan walked over and stopped in front of the cage. He looked at the cat inside with his eyelashes lowered and whispered, "Can I keep it?"

As soon as the words fell.

Uncle Fan and the veterinary intern were both stunned, thinking they had heard wrongly.

"Ah? Xiaoyan, don't you not keep pets?"

Shi Yan said: "I want to keep it."

Uncle Fan: "But..."

But this is the cat that Sheng Yuan asked him to raise.

But then, Uncle Fan changed his mind. After all, the conditions here are limited, and there are many cats and dogs. Most of the time, he puts the animals in small cages.

First of all, the breeding environment is inherently "inadequate" and can never compare to the domestic environment.

Besides, Shi Yan's children have always been reliable and have helped him take care of cats and dogs many times, so he has enough experience.

It would be great if this cat could be adopted by Shi Yan.

"good."

Uncle Fan agreed.

He opened the cage and carefully placed the soft kitten into Shi Yan's arms.
