◇ Chapter 64 My
The kitten's voice is soft and a little milky.
Bai Yu was stunned at first, then he stretched out his hand and poked the cat's head, laughing and said, "So you are Xiao Jiaozi."
Many cats will speak in a clipping voice in front of their owners. As a pet doctor who has been around thousands of cats without getting a single hair on himself, Bai Yu has seen many kittens making clipping sounds, but this platinum ball he picked up was the first to speak in such a clipping voice.
It was also the first time I licked him with my tongue.
According to Bai Yu's experience, when a cat licks a person, it means that the cat has become familiar with the person and is showing affection.
Bai Yu thought to himself, "This little ungrateful bastard has finally been tamed."
Tuanzi is in poor health and has been injured, so Bai Yu prepares various kinds of meat for him every day. In this era, breeding technology is poor and meat is expensive. If a cat eats like this, it will make its original owner go bankrupt.
But even so, the kitten would avoid him every time it saw him, and would get scared if he was hugged or touched, as if he were some horrible alien creature. If this continued, Bai Yu would begin to doubt his affinity as a pet doctor.
In his previous life, he was very popular with kittens and puppies.
And now, the kitten tucked its paw into its pocket dignifiedly, staring at the wound on the back of his hand without blinking, its guilty feeling visibly evident to the naked eye.
Bai Yu reached out his hand, put the kitten back on his lap, and stroked the soft fur on the cat's head: "Huh? Are you not afraid of me now?"
Imur shrank his head.
……Afraid.
But he didn't dare to say anything. He just stayed quietly on the doctor and meowed softly again.
Imur studied the doctor's face.
Although he was scratched by the kitten, Bai Yu's face looked normal, and his fingers stroking him were still steady, his fingertips gently running along the fur on his back, which was very comfortable.
The doctor should not be angry.
Imur breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep on the doctor's lap with his tail in his arms.
He is still in the mutation period and is still feeling very uncomfortable.
Bai Yu didn't let him sleep. He pulled his tail away, stretched out a finger, and stopped it in front of the kitten.
Judging from Tuanzi’s behavior just now, the kitten might be sick. Bai Yu wanted to look at its tongue coating to determine the kitten’s health condition.
The doctor coaxed, "Lick it again."
“…”
"?"
"!"
Imur suddenly opened his eyes, stepped back, and then fell off the doctor's legs.
Licking, licking what!
Change, pervert!
Licking a wound on your own initiative is one thing, but being coaxed into licking your fingers is another.
The Grand Duke of Illia rolled on the mattress like a ball of melted cream. He straightened up again, feeling hot all over. His beautiful blue eyes glared at the doctor fiercely, as if he wanted to skin him alive and torture him to death.
"Damn it! I'm going to raze the doctor's clinic to the ground and parade the doctor through the streets!"
However, no matter how ferocious it is, in Bai Yu's eyes, it is just a tiny kitten.
Bai Yu continued to stretch out his fingers, put them in front of Yimuer, and coaxed: "Lick it again, remember to show your tongue."
Also, you have to stick out your tongue!
Imur's chest rose and fell, and he was so angry that the pain from the mutation period disappeared. He closed his eyes and warned himself: "Living under someone else's roof, living under someone else's roof! You were the one who arrested him first, you were wrong first, you were the one who arrested him first, you were wrong first! You can't disobey the doctor, you can't disobey the doctor!"
After repeating a few words back and forth, the Duke finally suppressed his anger. He finally prepared himself mentally, took a deep breath, leaned over the doctor's fingers, and then licked them quickly.
The tender pink tongue touches the skin and separates immediately.
Bai Yu: “.”
It was too fast, and he still didn't see the tongue coating.
But the kitten obviously had no intention of cooperating anymore. He rolled to the side of the bed without saying a word and did not move no matter how the doctor called him.
Bai Yu: "Okay."
Judging from the kitten's spirit, it shouldn't be a big problem, so he didn't force it. He just took off his glasses and put them aside, then raised his hand to turn off the light.
Darkness fell, and a little hazy moonlight leaked through the window.
Bai Yu whispered, "Good night, kitten."
Imur wagged his tail.
The doctor's sleep was always regular, as accurate as an alarm clock. Soon, he fell asleep. The bedroom was silent except for the doctor's long breathing.
Imur was wagging his tail beside the bed, unable to fall asleep.
The pain between muscles and bones is like a thorn in the flesh, which cannot be removed and spreads up in waves like the tide, with no end in sight.
Imur took small breaths. He had already rubbed against the edge of the quilt, which let in some air. The heat of his body dropped and his muscles became stiff again.
Imur rubbed his way into the bed and pricked up his ears to listen to the doctor's movements.
The doctor is still sleeping.
He rubbed inside again, paused, rubbed inside again, paused again, and finally rubbed back to the doctor.
The temperature of the skin felt like a large human heater. Imur squinted his eyes comfortably and finally fell asleep leaning against Bai Yu.
In his dream, he returned to the Duke's mansion on a snowy day. There was a warm fireplace in the bedroom, and he was taking a nap in the afternoon, hugging a blanket and leaning on a pillow.
The only downside is that the pillows are a bit hard.
So the next morning, when Imur woke up, he saw the doctor's enlarged profile.
The doctor was still reading the collection of poems, his stern eyebrows slightly drooping, his nose high and straight, while Imur was resting his head on his arm, sleeping soundly.
Seeing the kitten wake up, Bai Yu pulled back his arm: "Good morning, kitten."
It was unknown what time the cat fell asleep yesterday, so Bai Yu did not get up because he used his arm as a pillow for the cat. He waited until the kitten woke up before he closed the book and prepared to go to the early market.
The meat at home was gone, and if they didn’t replenish it, he and Tuanzi would have nothing to eat.
“…”
It was not until the sound of the door closing did Imur come back to his senses.
He raised his two paws and rubbed his face hard with the pads of his paws.
He actually fell asleep with his head resting on the doctor's arm. In just a few days, he had lost his guard against the doctor.
But it seemed normal. Although the doctor ran an unlicensed black clinic and his medical ethics did not seem to be very good, he was really nice to the kitten. He gave it meat every meal, let it sleep on the bed, and did not get angry when it was scratched.
Imur corrected his position and thought: "...I should be a very favored pet now?"
This strange idea gave the Duke goosebumps, because in Illia, the adjective "favored" was generally used to describe the old Duke's favorite concubine. That disgusting man with a fat brain liked young and delicate girls. Whenever he held the hands of slender girls with his big belly, Imur felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
He felt a chill and the hair on his tail stood up. Finally, he forced himself to stop thinking and jumped off the bed.
Bai Yu was adjusting the lapel of his coat in front of the dressing mirror. When he saw the kitten, he casually warned, "Don't run out recently. I heard that someone is killing stray cats."
Of course the doctor knew that the kitten couldn't understand human language, but communicating with pets was his occupational disease, so he just said it casually.
"If you get caught, I won't be able to save you."
Imur paused in his leg movement, with the pad of flesh suspended in the air. Before the doctor could notice, he put it down as if nothing had happened and walked away with a clatter.
For a kitten, his legs are indeed a little short.
After the doctor closed the door, Imur ran down from the second floor with his short legs and jumped onto the treatment bed.
At this height, you can see outside through the small window facing the street.
The neighborhood where the doctor lives is a relatively chaotic area in the east of Illia City. There are many gangs and various forces maintain a fragile and delicate balance. The guards of the Duke's Palace are limited in number, and those who absolutely obey Imur's orders are even more limited. He has no way to intervene in the ecology of this area for the time being.
People were coming and going on the streets, seemingly no different than usual, but Imur keenly noticed that there were more people dressed in gangster clothes on the streets.
Although they tried to dress like ordinary citizens, many of them had an undisguised bandit look and arrogant demeanor. They wandered the streets as if looking for something.
Imur's eyes fell on a muscular man with a scar on his face.
The man had scars all over his face. He was holding a sack in his hand. The object inside seemed a bit heavy. He pulled the bag down. Imur guessed from the shape of the bag that it was a hammer head.
It is very heavy. If it hits the back of the head, one hit can make the person faint, and two hits can kill the person.
The man seemed to see an acquaintance from afar, greeted him, and then walked to the doctor's door.
He fell into conversation with a woman at the doctor's door.
Imur quietly jumped down from the examination bed.
He hid by the window and listened to the noise outside.
It was morning market time, the streets were busy, people were coming and going outside the window, the noise was very noisy, Imur vaguely heard the man say a few words, probably "stray cats", "killing", "number"
More than that, I can't hear clearly.
There was a pot of green ivy by the window. The pot was short and thick. Imur made a rough estimate and jumped lightly onto the windowsill. He used the pot to hide his body and continued to listen to the man talk.
Bai Yu left a gap in the window for ventilation, and through this gap, he could finally hear the man talking clearly.
The man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant. If Bai Yu was here, he would have noticed that the two people outside the window were the hammerhead shark and his wife.
The sound of the hammerhead shark came faintly through the gap in the windowsill.
"Hey, I heard that day that there was a reward for catching stray cats, and I thought it was a joke, but I actually gave one away and received two silver coins. What do you think that unlucky guy wanted a stray cat for?"
Yesterday, the Black Robe Gang, the largest local gang, issued a reward. Citizens in this neighborhood can receive money by arresting stray cats and sending them to the gang’s headquarters.
The search was focused along the Houghton River, and in several nearby neighborhoods.
Outside, Hammerhead and his wife naturally dropped the gang's nicknames and details, disguising themselves as ordinary citizens chatting.
The lady said, "Who knows why? I heard that the Duke's guards are also looking for the cat. I don't know what's wrong with them."
The Duke fell into the water, Illia was in danger, and the two forces targeted stray cats at the same time. It was abnormal in every way.
Hammerhead Shark: "They slapped my head, it's really killing me. They even asked for a certain number. There are no cats on the streets now, and the mice have all been sent to the base. Where can I catch two more for them?"
Unlike ordinary citizens, the direct members of the Black Robe Society need to hand in a certain amount, but Bai Yu is a doctor, which makes him a civilian employee, and his wife is a lady, so they don't have to.
The only thing needed among the three is the hammerhead shark.
The hammerhead shark scratched its head and muttered, "Two silver coins for one. I can't even afford to eat now. I'll just have two to go. It'll just be a good idea to have food... Do I have to wander around? Can I go to someone else's house and catch two?"
Madam: “Catch it.”
She covered her lips and smiled: "Isn't there one right here? Raven is cold-hearted and never likes small animals. I don't know where the cat came from. When he comes back later, you can talk to him. He won't be angry."
"!"
When Imur heard "here", he reacted immediately and jumped into the room with his hind legs. His adrenaline surged so much that he didn't hear the rest of the sentence the raven said. But the hammerhead shark was faster. The window was ajar to begin with, and he pushed it with his backhand, causing the green ivy pot to fall to the ground with a bang. Then he stretched out his arm and grabbed the tip of Imur's tail.
The kitten reacted quickly, but his tail was too long and was grabbed before it could leave the window.
"!"
Only the tail was bearing the stress, and the pain spread from the tail vertebrae to the whole body. Imur could not help but struggle violently.
Damn it!
He never expected that this person would reach directly into the house and grab the cat.
But the hammerhead shark was a burly adult man, and the kitten's struggle was insignificant in his eyes. He suppressed it easily, then pushed open the window with his backhand and brought Imur out of the window.
He grabbed the kitten's tail and lifted him in front of him.
Madam: "It's a white and golden cat. Its fur is really beautiful."
Hammerhead Shark looked at it and said, "I'd like to use the cat's skin to make a nice scarf. You think it's worth two more silver coins since its fur is so good?"
Madam: "Please ask nicely if it is the one you are looking for. If not, give it to me. This white and gold scarf. I am in need of one."
The two men looked over the kitten, as if considering where to start the cut so as to completely remove its beautiful fur.
Imur bit his lower lip tightly.
...No, no, you can't be taken to the base.
Imuir vaguely knew who was looking for him, and he struggled violently in the hammerhead shark's hands. The hammerhead shark was startled and almost lost control. During this gap, Imuir opened his mouth and bit the hammerhead shark's arm.
The kitten had only sharp teeth on its body, and one bite left two bloody holes. The hammerhead shark hissed and became very angry. He grabbed the kitten and clamped his chin to force him to open his mouth. Then Imur lifted it in front of him and raised his other arm.
Before sending it to the station, he wanted to teach this daring cat a lesson.
After failing to struggle, Imur's mouth was full of blood. He spat out a mouthful of blood foam and glared at the hammerhead shark. Although he was just a kitten, he managed to put on an unyielding posture.
Hammerhead Shark: "Hey, are you glaring at me?"
He was quite surprised and flexed his arms to show off his exaggerated muscles, but the next second, he was hit on the head by a bag of cucumbers.
The cucumber was very heavy, and the hammerhead shark felt dizzy and let go subconsciously. Immediately, someone grabbed his arm and pressed it into a twisted position.
Hammerhead Shark: "F—"
Before he could finish shouting, Bai Yu controlled the arm with one hand, twisted the joint, used some skillful force, and with a click, removed the arm.
Although he is a veterinarian, he has also studied joint structure.
The hammerhead shark couldn't even scream because of the dislocated joints.
Tuanzi was gathered back into a warm embrace. He pushed himself into the doctor's arms uncontrollably, like a hamster digging a hole. All the buttons of the doctor's clothes were rubbed loose by him, and the kitten got into the innermost layer of the clothes, leaving only a base shirt between him and the doctor. However, he still felt it was not enough and kept pushing himself inside, as if he would only feel safe if he was tightly together with the doctor.
The kitten seemed to be stressed again. Bai Yu covered him with his windbreaker and gently rubbed his head, as if to comfort him: "It's okay, I'm here."
This was a familiar action. The doctor always comforted him in this way. Imur was like a bullied child who suddenly found his parents. He rubbed his face with his paws, feeling full of grievances.
The lady was surprised: "You?"
Bai Yu didn't want to pay attention to them. He just raised his knee to kick the hammerhead shark that was blocking his way aside, took out the key to open the door, and then turned half of his face to the side and said coldly: "This is my cat, don't you know?"
