◇ Chapter 61: Decency
Imur listened attentively to the noise outside.
The knife hit the chopping board again and again. Although the door blocked the sound, the sound of tearing fibers was still creepy.
Imur moved his body with difficulty and tried to climb to the windowsill.
...You will die. If you stay here, you will die!
...He can't die here.
The Duke was not used to the cat's body, and his steps were unsteady. In addition, his body was sore and weak that he couldn't even support Imur to straighten his upper body. He could only move to the side little by little.
He slowly moved to the edge of the bed, and the wound burst open again. The height between the bed and the ground was less than half a meter, which was like a natural chasm. If he jumped down from this distance, the wound on his abdomen would most likely tear. Imur took a deep breath and leaned forward.
Compared to being tortured by a perverted doctor, there is still a way out.
But at this time, the door was opened.
The wooden door creaked, and the doctor's slender figure appeared outside the door.
"Meow!"
A short and shrill cat cry sounded, and the hair all over Imur's body stood up. He was frightened, rolled over twice, and fell off the edge of the bed. He was about to fall on his stomach.
Caught.
Bai Yu was tall and had long legs. He walked to the bed in two steps. He opened his palm to catch the falling ball, slightly cushioned it, and then picked up Imur.
The doctor's expression was cold, but his palms were dry and warm. Imur trembled in his palms, not daring to move.
"Huh..." Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief, holding Tuanzi's little butt, and put the shivering little thing back on the bed. He poked his little head and frowned, "Other kittens are well behaved after the operation, but you are the only one running around. What are you doing?"
In Bai Yu's experience, he has never seen a cat crawling around after being cleaned.
His tone was a little harsh, and Imur was frightened. He couldn't help but fall back and then fell into the quilt.
66 floated beside: "Puff——"
It poked its host: "This cat you picked up is so stupid."
Bai Yu's eyes swept across Bai Tuanzi's abdomen. There was slight bleeding, but no broken lines. So he looked away, pushed up his glasses, and said disdainfully, "It's not what your system requires."
He had never seen such a silly cat.
Imur struggled slightly and poked his head out from under the quilt. He saw at a glance that the doctor in front of him had a stern expression and his eyes were vaguely fixed on a certain place. He turned the Elizabethan circle with difficulty and finally saw where the doctor was looking at.
It was a quilt, with a long strip of blood on it.
Imur had just climbed to the edge of the bed, moving his abdomen against the quilt, and rubbed against it.
“…”
Imur closed his eyes, feeling a little desperate.
A wild cat of unknown origin soiled the quilt of the black-hearted doctor. He could imagine what would happen next, but he could do nothing but shrink himself into the quilt as much as possible to reduce his presence.
But Bai Yu didn't care about these. The bed was the original owner's bed, and he was going to change it anyway. He just asked: "System, what time is it now?"
He picked up the kitten in the middle of the morning, and the winter sun in Ilria was warm, but now it was almost dark outside the window.
System: "It's past eight o'clock, host."
Bai Yu nodded: "Then he can eat something."
He turned and walked out.
The wooden door closed and the bedroom became quiet again.
Imur curled up in the quilt and quietly opened his eyes.
It seems safe for now.
Cats are nocturnal animals and naturally prefer dark environments, so Bai Yu did not turn on the lights. At this time, boundless darkness enveloped him, and Imur gained a rare sense of security. He did not want to think about what the doctor had done, whether to prepare the injection again or anything else. He just curled up and lay down to relieve the pain of the wound.
In addition to the pain from his wound, there was another feeling surrounding him that made him feel very uncomfortable.
...I'm so hungry.
The newspaper reported that the Duke fell off the cliff three days ago, and Imur had not eaten for three days.
He choked on water several times in the Horton River. He was not short of water, but the lack of food made his body functions slow down. If he could not replenish energy in time, he would still die even if the doctor did nothing.
But as a cat, how do I ask the doctor for food?
Judging from the doctor's actions, he didn't seem to want Imur to die immediately. At least he carried Imur to the bed and returned the quilt to him.
Imur wasn't quite sure what the doctor meant, whether he wanted a long-term experiment or was in need of something to entertain him, but either way, the doctor would probably provide him with basic food to sustain his life.
...Hopefully it will be provided.
Imur lowered his eyes. With his current physical strength, he didn't even have the energy to be angry. If the doctor was unwilling to give him food, he would die. Just when he was about to fall asleep again, the doctor pushed open the door.
Ymur's eyes widened in disbelief; he smelled food.
There was a slight damp, salty smell in the air, like fish.
Ymur shook his fluffy tail, forming a small question mark, and thought in confusion and disbelief: "Is it for me?"
The doctor has a dining room at home, so he doesn't need to eat in the bedroom. Moreover, this bowl of fish was not cooked, and no salt or any seasonings such as onions or ginger were added, so it was probably not prepared for the doctor himself.
But, the black-hearted doctor specially prepared dinner for him?
The fish meat is cut into soft and loose paste, and the goat milk is fresh and clean, with a sweet milky aroma.
Imur used his claws to prop up half of his body, and looked at the doctor with his lake-blue eyes.
Bai Yu poured the goat milk into a basin and placed it in the corner under the bed, and then placed the soft fish meat on a plate. The kitten could not eat too much after the operation and needed to control its food intake, so he only poured a little.
After doing all this, Bai Yu sat down beside the bed.
He gently picked up the kitten and checked the wound. Imur was so ashamed that he closed his eyes, but for a bite of food in the corner, he had to expose his abdomen and let the doctor observe.
To this day, Imur still doesn't know what the doctor did to his wound. He only remembers the stinging pain of the needle piercing his skin and the severe pain of the alcohol on the wound. He was afraid of the doctor's next move, but his desire to survive forced him to pretend to be obedient.
Be good, and you will have food to eat.
Bai Yu looked at the kitten that was shaking but not struggling, raised his eyebrows slightly, and praised, "So good."
Although he doesn't seem to have a high IQ, he is at least quite friendly.
Bai Yu placed the dumpling next to the food box.
In the past, if anyone dared to let Imuir lie in the corner like this and eat without dignity, Imuir would definitely knock out his teeth. But under Bai Yu's hands, he had no choice but to eat impatiently.
Duke Ymur drank carefully and had never eaten such rough food before. But when the fish paste entered his mouth and went down his esophagus, his empty stomach was filled with food, and Ymur actually purred in comfort.
Bai Yu burst out laughing.
His laughter made Imur's tail blow up. Tuanzi stood up nervously, with a little white paste on his lips. He stood stiffly in place, a little at a loss.
Imur knew that his current way of eating must be very ungraceful and lacked proper etiquette, but the doctor actually saw it all and even had a mocking look in his eyes.
"Damn it," he thought bitterly as he buried his head in his food, "When I get back, when I get back, I'm going to make the doctor pay the price he deserves!"
There was only a little bit of fish paste and goat milk, and Platinum Tuanzi licked it clean in two bites. Imur Lake narrowed his blue eyes, put his paws under his body, and looked at Bai Yu intently.
How can I ask the doctor for more?
But Bai Yu had already ruthlessly taken the tray away.
He picked up the kitten with one hand and put the dumpling back on the quilt. He ignored Imur's struggle and said cruelly like a tyrant suppressing a rebellion: "You can't eat any more. We'll eat the rest tomorrow."
Bai Yu took the food and left.
“Meow——”
Imur subconsciously tried to persuade her to stay, but was frightened by his own weak voice. He shrank into the quilt listlessly, and suddenly stretched out his furry paws and slapped himself.
Damn, how could such a disgusting sound be made?
But it didn't hit his face, the Elizabethan collar was still firmly on his neck, and it only hit the edge of the cardboard.
Imur was startled again, and guiltily used his paw to straighten the circle.
He didn't want the doctor to come tomorrow and find that the circle was crooked and think that he was not obedient and thus deduct his lunch.
It was quite late now, and in the underdeveloped city-state of Illia, lighting fixtures and electricity were still expensive, and most people stayed inactive at night and went to bed early.
Imur looked out the window and saw a crescent moon hanging high in the sky. It was already late.
The doctor should have gone to rest. At least he wouldn't bother it again tonight. Imur heaved a long sigh of relief and thought, "This chaotic day is finally over."
But the Duke apparently overlooked one fact—this was the doctor's bedroom, and he was lying on the doctor's bed, even covered with the doctor's quilt.
So within twenty minutes, Bai Yu appeared in the bedroom again.
He first turned on the light and observed Tuanzi's condition: his hair was fluffy and hanging naturally, not frizzy, and he was not shrinking or trembling, and did not seem to be in a state of stress.
So Bai Yu walked into the bedroom calmly.
Generally speaking, if the cat is willing to eat, the stress will not be too serious and may even have subsided.
Bai Yu had just picked up the cat, hugged it and rubbed it. Tuanzi was still eating in front of him and behaving very well. From Bai Yu's knowledge, this was a sign that the patient was initially establishing a friendship with the doctor, gradually letting down his guard and beginning to trust the doctor.
Therefore, he decided that he could sleep in the same room with the kitten tonight.
The kitten had just become familiar with the bedroom environment, and if it was placed somewhere else, it might become stressed again, which was not appropriate. The temperature in Illia was cold at night, and there were no beds in the other rooms, so it would get sick if it fell asleep. So Bai Yu decided to stay there without hesitation.
He brought new sheets and quilt covers, replaced all the bloody parts, re-made the quilt, then adjusted the pillows and tidied up the sleeping area.
Imur: “?”
He huddled in the corner of the bed, almost gnashing his teeth.
As the co-ruler of Illia and the Grand Duke of the kingdom, he wants to sleep with a strange man?
Yimuer repeatedly told himself, "When you live under a roof, you have to bow your head. When you live under a roof, you have to bow your head." However, before he could prepare himself mentally, Bai Yu did something that made Yimuer's hair stand on end.
The doctor took off his clothes.
No human being would feel the need to hide from a kitten when changing clothes, and Bai Yu was no exception. He took out his pajamas, and then naturally took off his shirt, revealing his smooth back.
To be honest, doctors have a lot of capital.
He has very fair skin, a cool and noble temperament, and just the right amount of muscle, caught between thin and strong. He has a very well-proportioned body. From behind, he has standard broad shoulders and narrow waist, and the lines of his shoulders and neck flow smoothly downwards, forming a perfect arc at the waist. Even the shape of his shoulder blades and waist dimples are beautiful.
Even the edge of the baggy trousers, the line that connected them down from the waist, was beautiful.
“…”
Over the years, no one has dared to expose their back in front of the Duke, but even a man as unromantic as Imur knew how much Lady Illia would like this body.
Those lake blue eyes fell on the shoulder blades, then moved down to the waist, and finally floated to the ceiling.
The Duke turned his back and muttered to himself, "In broad daylight, in the open, this is immoral and outrageous... meow!"
He meowed shrilly.
Bai Yu grabbed the kitten with one hand, pulled him over, and pressed him into the quilt without any question.
The doctor was not wearing any clothes on his upper body, but his expression was still serious and stern. He poked the cat's head with his hand and said seriously: "Don't run to the edge of the bed. If you fall, I won't be able to pull you out when I fall asleep. Do you understand?"
The author has something to say:
Yes, this world is attacked by greed first.
