It was that little kitten that survived in Yu Yao's hands.
It must have been frightened by the gunshot that made it run around frantically, searching for a familiar scent.
Yu Yao's scent was already masked by the strong smell of blood, so it moved towards Xu Zhaozhao's trouser leg.
Yu Yao certainly deserved to die, but he had taken great care of the kittens before killing them.
A beautiful calico cat with soft fur, it always makes your heart melt when it rubs against you.
Gu Qingyan frowned, "Won't this kitten be in danger?"
He raised the syringe again, intending to give the kitten an injection.
"Don't."
Xu Zhaozhao pressed down on her hand, stopping him.
He bent down and hugged the kitten in his arms.
The kitten was already stressed; it snuggled tightly against my chest because of the familiar scent.
Let's go.
Holding the kitten in one arm and taking Gu Qingyan's hand with the other, she walked towards the car.
She seemed normal, but something was very wrong with her.
Gu Qingyan didn't ask her why she took the kitten away; she was simply protecting them as they got into the car.
When we got home, the kitten was much better.
Xu Zhaozhao placed the kitten in Gu Qingyan's hands and rushed into the bathroom.
Amidst the pattering of water, Gu Qingyan stood at the doorway and heard her suppressed vomiting.
"Meow!"
A piercing meow snapped Gu Qingyan out of his reverie, and he realized he'd been so engrossed in his thoughts that he'd pinched the kitten.
An ordinary kitten would have attacked long ago, but this kitten only hissed once and then lay down listlessly again.
Now Gu Qingyan dares not leave Xu Zhaozhao for even a moment, and has no time to take care of the kitten.
So... it was naturally stuffed into Chi Li's arms as soon as he arrived at the door.
"Please take care of him."
then.
Bang.
The master bedroom door slammed shut without hesitation.
The cat and the person left behind were both very confused.
Chi Li: Gu Qingyan, I'm a psychologist! Not a veterinarian!
Gu Qingyan originally called him over to check on Xu Zhaozhao's condition, but it was clear that she didn't want to see anyone right now.
After taking a shower, Xu Zhaozhao didn't wear her favorite Lina Belle pajamas. Instead, she just grabbed a shirt from Gu Qingyan and put it on as a nightgown.
Her wet hair hadn't been dried; it was haphazardly draped over her shoulders, wetting the fabric and revealing a faint hint of flesh.
It wasn't until Gu Qingyan appeared that her eyes regained focus.
He didn't ask anything, he just said, "Come here, let me blow-dry your hair."
She threw herself into Gu Qingyan's arms, the familiar scent bringing her peace of mind.
The damp hair slowly became lighter, and a faint warmth and the scent of freesia spread.
Xu Zhaozhao hugged her very tightly.
"How about you sleep?"
Gu Qingyan patted her head. "It was all a nightmare. I woke up to find it was already dawn."
The gentle tone of the Cantonese accent made Xu Zhaozhao want to cry.
Will you stay with me?
"good."
Gu Qingyan sat down next to her and gently hummed a lullaby to lull her to sleep—the kind without a receiver between them.
She really wanted to sleep and soon drifted off to sleep.
But she held onto Gu Qingyan's hand tightly the whole time.
He couldn't sleep, so he held his phone in one hand and typed, reporting Xu Zhaozhao's situation to various parties.
Yu Yao was taken away by Xu Mingxu.
This is not a good thing. How many people can be released from Xu Mingxu's hands?
After dealing with these matters, it was already late at night before he lay down next to Xu Zhaozhao.
Fortunately, Xu Zhaozhao slept soundly through the night without any dreams, waking up naturally.
I only felt at ease after immediately searching for Gu Qingyan and confirming that he was still by my side.
Gu Qingyan had already woken up, but he hadn't left her side.
The two hugged quietly for a while.
prickly—
A screeching sound came from the doorway, attracting two pairs of eyes.
"Meow!"
Hearing the cat meow, Xu Zhaozhao's heart stirred slightly.
He got out of bed and opened the door, just as Chi Li's words reached his ears: "My goodness, stop scratching! I can't afford to pay for this door!"
She looked up.
The kitten, which was gently struggling in his hand, began to struggle more vigorously after seeing her.
Bang.
The door to the master bedroom was slammed shut once again.
Xu Zhaozhao turned her head in confusion. Gu Qingyan frowned slightly and looked at her with complicated eyes.
"Just consider it me being foolish."
His large hand encircled her waist, pinching the soft flesh there. "Change your clothes before you go out."
She was still wearing Gu Qingyan's shirt.
Although it's worn as a skirt, it's still a short skirt, barely covering the buttocks.
It's really not suitable for outsiders to see.
Okay.
She was feeling much better and laughed when Gu Qingyan tickled her.
She pushed him away to wash up, and changed into a hoodie and jeans.
He then ignored Gu Qingyan and went to find the kitten.
Chi Li had already brought the kitten to the living room and was trying to tease it with a cat toy, but the kitten showed little interest.
"What a nuisance! He's even giving me attitude."
Just as Chi Li finished speaking, Xu Zhaozhao came down the stairs, and the kitten excitedly pounced on her.
He fell headfirst into her arms.
Xu Zhaozhao caught it steadily and found the cat treat among the pile of things Chi Li bought.
Touching its thin spine, I slowly fed it.
Chi Li, who was standing to the side, seized an opportunity to speak up: "Sister-in-law, if I may ask, why did you bring this kitten home?"
He had heard a little about yesterday's events—after all, he was there to provide psychological counseling to Xu Zhaozhao.
Xu Zhaozhao smiled and patted the little guy's head.
She spoke softly, "Because the cats saved me."
If the cats hadn't suddenly made noise and caught Yu Yao's attention, she might have been the one forced to drink concentrated sulfuric acid and disemboweled.
In a way, her life was saved by those five cats.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhaozhao's smile faded a bit. "Only it survived."
It also saved her.
If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have enough concentrated sulfuric acid, Yu Yao wouldn't have ordered takeout, which gave them the opportunity to be rescued.
How can we just leave it alone? How can we... watch it die?
It had just escaped death.
Chi Li paused for a moment, then continued, "Sister-in-law, did you have any nightmares last night?"
Xu Zhaozhao shook her head. "Don't worry, I'm mentally strong."
In small rural villages, killing cats and slaughtering dogs is commonplace.
Yu Yao's pure cat abuse made Xu Zhaozhao feel extremely uncomfortable, both physically and mentally.
Once I threw up, I felt much better.
Gu Qingyan went downstairs and handed the cat from Xu Zhaozhao's hands back to Chi Li.
"Let's eat first."
Xu Zhaozhao knew he was worried, so she nodded and went to the restaurant with him.
The kitten struggled in Chi Li's hands, but ultimately it was too weak to escape.
Chi Li: Did I really become a veterinarian by pinching numbness?
Resigned, I picked up the cat treat to coax it.
Xu Zhaozhao didn't have a good appetite. She only ate some vegetables during the meal before putting down her chopsticks.
"I'm stuffed."
He looked at his phone, sometimes frowning, sometimes glancing up at her.
Even a fool could tell what he was worried about.
Xu Zhaozhao looked up at Gu Qingyan: "You can go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me. I'm not so desperate as to do something rash."
Thanks to the five kittens buying time, Yu Yao didn't do anything to her in the end.
Gu Qingyan remained silent for a while.
He sighed and said, "Then I'll have Chi Li stay with you. I'm going to the police station."
Xu Zhaozhao knew that he asked Chi Li to stay because he was worried about her, so she didn't object and nodded.
"Then bring your son back to me."
The mother's longing for her son reached its peak!
