Chapter 45: Foster Sunlight
The next day, Liu Man started to pack her luggage for the "business trip". Zhang Pei suddenly seemed to have thought of something and knocked on the door. "By the way, Man Man, I have to go back to your grandparents' house around the Spring Festival. What should I do with the sun? I can't take the cat back with me."
She stumped Liu Lan with her question.
The clever sunlight seemed to notice the embarrassment of the mother and daughter. It came over wagging its tail, rubbing first Liu Lan's calf, then Zhang Pei's calf, mumbling coquettish hums.
Liu Lan squatted down, picked it up, and gently stroked its little head. She thought for a moment and said to Zhang Pei, "Let's put her in a pet store for foster care."
“During the Spring Festival, will they still manage it?”
"Let me ask first."
Liu Lan first sent a WeChat message to Yu Zhan, but there was no reply for a long time.
She found Yu Zhan's phone number in the address book. The phone rang more than ten times before Yu Zhan answered the call, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Ri Guang's body?"
Yu Zhan really understood Liu Lan. Apart from matters concerning the cat, she would not take the initiative to look for him.
...
...
"It's fine. I just want to ask, does your store provide pet boarding services? I have to leave the capital for 20 days, and there's no one to take care of the cat at home."
Yu Zhan was silent for two seconds, as if he was considering it. After a while, he said, "You can foster me. When are you leaving?"
"The flight is at 11am tomorrow."
"Then you can send the sunlight here tonight."
"Okay, thank you. Also, the cost of foster care..."
"20 yuan a day," Yu Zhan quoted the price readily.
Liu Lan didn’t know the rules of pet boarding. During the Spring Festival, the cost of pet boarding is 200 yuan per day.
After dinner, Liu Lan put Riguang into the pet box and some cat food. She carried the pet box in one hand and the cat food in the other and walked towards Yu Zhan's pet hospital.
As the Spring Festival approaches, pet hospitals are busier as pet owners want to give their pets a full physical examination before the Spring Festival to ensure that they are in good health.
It was already past seven in the evening, and there were still people queuing in the store with their pets.
Yu Zhan had already greeted the nurse at the front desk. When she saw Liu Lan, she said to her, "Please sit down for a while. I will go and notify Doctor Yu."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the inner room. Five minutes later, Yu Zhan came out with her. Yu Zhan was still wearing a green medical isolation suit.
There was a trace of obvious fatigue between his brows, but as soon as he saw Liu Lan, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He walked closer to Liu Lan, took the pet box and cat food bag from her hand, and said naturally, "Come with me to the second floor."
Liu Lan only then realized that the store had another floor and the stairs were at the end of the corridor.
The two of them went upstairs one after the other. The young nurse stared at their backs in a daze. Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder from behind. She was startled and turned around. Seeing that it was a familiar customer, she did not dare to get angry and said helplessly,
"Mr. Ye, you are going to scare me to death."
"Who told you to spy on your boss? You are guilty."
"I'm just curious."
"I'm also curious, is that girl your boss' girlfriend?"
The young nurse frowned. "I don't know either. She came here once before to buy cat food, but we don't sell cat food here. The boss scolded me for no reason and said that if she came to buy cat food, then we could sell cat food. I was speechless."
Mr. Ye smiled playfully and said that when his cat was undergoing a physical examination, Yu Zhan suddenly became anxious. You know, he always did things meticulously and slowly.
After all this time, it turned out that it was my sweetheart who came.
He also saw the girl's appearance. She was a very beautiful girl, worthy of Yu Zhan. But according to the nurse, Yu Zhan hadn't caught her yet. Yu Zhan was not good enough in this aspect.
The second floor was very spacious, with one room used as a warehouse, one room used as a lounge, and one room belonging to Paul. Yu Zhan took Liu Man to Paul's room.
“I bring Paul here when I’m at work, and I take him for a walk around the neighborhood when I have free time.”
Liu Lan nodded. No wonder she always met Yu Zhan and Paul at her doorstep.
She looked around. Paul's room was decorated very attentively. It was furnished with a dog bed, dog toys, and plenty of dog food.
Paul was also very happy to see Liu Lan. He came over and licked her palm. Liu Lan touched his head and ears with her backhand.
Yu Zhan placed the pet box and cat food in the corner of Paul's room. Ri Guang had never seen Paul before. He was timid and huddled in the box, a little scared. Yu Zhan did not open the box, but comforted him through the box.
Yu Zhan really had a magical power when it came to treating small animals. Soon, Riguang was no longer timid. It meowed and lay obediently in the pet box, with its two front legs tucked into its body to keep warm. Its posture was very cute.
Seeing that Ri Guang was so attached to Yu Zhan, Liu Lan felt more relieved. She asked him, "Is Ri Guang fostered here?"
