For the next three days, Xie Jingcheng and Yu Ci would go to the clinic together after school to check on the little squirrel's recovery.
There were no women in front of the restaurant anymore.
Did she run away overnight or was she transferred to the inner field?
Yu Ci had no interest in knowing.
They're just insignificant people.
In the past few days, in addition to applying medication, the veterinarian at the clinic vaccinated the squirrel and also provided a full deworming service.
The little squirrels are quite friendly. As soon as they see us, they try to stand up by stretching their strapped legs and gently scratching at the cage with their little paws.
Chao Chao leaned closer, asking, "Is Songsong feeling better?"
The day after visiting the squirrel, Chaochao gave it a fancy name: Songsong!
The little squirrel squeaked a few times, as if responding to a child's call.
Chaochao tilted her head, a hint of doubt in her clear eyes: "Songsong, have you gained weight?"
Her oval face has turned into a round face!
"Squeak squeak".
The little squirrel puffed out its cheeks, scooped up an almond with its two little paws, stuffed it into the gap of the iron cage, and pushed it out with all its might.
Chaochao's eyes widened: "For me?"
"Squeak!"
When Chaochao heard that the little squirrel had saved a nut from its lunch for her, she touched her cheek sheepishly and pushed the nut back into place. "I'm not hungry anymore, you eat it, you eat it. Songsong, you need to eat more so you can get better soon~"
The little squirrel tilted its head and looked at her, its big, black eyes shining brightly. After a second, it used its little paws to pull the nut back, turned its back, and dug around in the blankets, burying the little nut at the very bottom.
Meanwhile, the German Shepherd, who was lazily lying down, saw them arrive and first snorted coldly at Xie Jingcheng.
Xie Jingcheng: "..."
As Chaochao approached, the big dog immediately sat up, grinned, stuck out its tongue, and whimpered softly at the child.
A passing veterinarian covered his eyes: "It's unbearable to look at."
The German Shepherd raised its paw and placed it on the edge of the cage, while the curious little ball gently rubbed its rough paw pads.
Ren Hao's German Shepherd was very good-natured, and even leaned in to lick Chao Chao's fingertips.
It's so itchy!
The Border Collie, which had been waiting for a long time, barked and wagged its tail. When the child walked over, it picked up its toy ball and pushed it out of the cage, where the ball rolled to the side.
"Your ball fell!"
Chaochao ran over, picked it up, patted off the dust, and put it back in the cage.
A veterinarian looked surprised upon seeing it, then laughed and said, "This is Winnie's favorite toy, and we don't let him touch it. I didn't expect it to let your sister play with it."
Yu Ci smiled and took out a disinfectant wipe to clean Chaochao's hands: "She's always been very popular with small animals."
The Border Collie caught the ball and then threw it out of the cage.
The little dumpling happily went to retrieve it and stuffed it back into the cage, saying, "Oh dear, why did you speak so sweetly again?"
The Border Collie barked, and the ball was pushed out of the cage again.
Watching the little dumpling happily go to retrieve the ball for the third time, Yu Ci and Xie Jingcheng both fell silent.
"..."
Why does it feel like the positions are reversed?
The little squirrel's treatment was very effective, and Yu Ci and Chao Chao picked it up together on Sunday, the day it was discharged from the hospital.
Xie Jingcheng was unable to come due to other commitments.
The scab on the little squirrel's wound had fallen off, and tender new flesh had grown. However, to facilitate treatment, the fur on its right hind leg had been removed, revealing a pink scar on its white leg. It looked both cute and fierce at the same time.
The two people and the mouse were walking towards the school.
The little squirrel frolicked and jumped on Chaochao's shoulders and back, and later even climbed onto the top of Chaochao's head, curiously poking her little tufts of hair.
The system that observes the baby's daily life: This thing is really addictive.
When Yu Ci turned her head to look, the little dumpling's hair was already a mess like a bird's nest. She was still stretching out her hands to protect the culprit on her head and coaxed in a childish voice, "Be careful, don't fall to the ground."
"..."
Yu Ci sighed helplessly, grabbed the little squirrel by the tail and put it on her shoulder, smiling: "You stay here."
As if its lifeline had been instantly seized, the squirrel squeaked and finally calmed down, becoming a mouse-shaped sculpture on Yu Ci's shoulder.
Passersby cast surprised glances at them.
Yu Ci managed to straighten Chaochao's hair and continued walking while holding her hand.
A short while later, the squirrel on her shoulder slipped smoothly down her arm and onto Chaochao's other shoulder.
Yu Ci glanced at it indifferently.
He always knew that the squirrel was afraid of him.
As they passed an ice cream stand, Chaochao licked her lips and swallowed hard, unable to resist.
I must have walked too much and gotten thirsty.
When her gaze fell upon the enormous ice cream cone model, Yu Ci seemed to sense something and looked down, and sure enough, she saw the little dumpling's expectant gaze.
He smiled, stopped in front of the stall, and asked her, "What flavor do you want?"
Chaochao's almond-shaped eyes sparkled: "I want peach flavor!"
Yu Ci: "Boss, I'd like a peach ice cream."
Boss: "Alright!"
Yu Ci glanced at the nut-filled ice cream cone on the price list, paused, and then asked, "Do you have walnuts?"
boss:"?"
...
Two people and a mouse sat side by side on a bench in a nearby park.
Chaochao sat in the middle, happily shaking her head while holding an ice cream.
The little squirrel next to me was holding a big walnut in its two paws, turning around several times, seemingly looking for a place to put its teeth, while its fluffy tail swayed excitedly back and forth behind it.
On the far left, Yu Ci's long legs were slightly bent, his slender and beautiful hands holding a mineral water bottle. He took a sip, and the sunlight refracted through the bottle, creating a colorful and dazzling effect that fell on the boy's delicate eyebrows and eyes, making him look as beautiful as a figure in an oil painting.
Just as Chaochao was about to take a bite of the ice cream cone, she suddenly stopped and looked at Yu Ci: "Brother Yu Ci, do you want to try some? I haven't had any yet~"
Chaochao remembered that her brother Yuci was very clean, and fearing that he would find it disgusting, she wanted to give him the first bite.
Yu Ci felt a tingling, numbing sensation in his heart, as if a seed was about to sprout. His dark eyes were filled with tenderness as he smoothed her hair: "You eat it, I don't eat cold things."
Actually, he doesn't like sweets.
But he was afraid that if he told her, Chaochao would never give him candy again.
