Chapter 874 Kong Chi Extra (17)
Gu Zhixu was fiddling with the live stream in his room when he heard Kong Chi open the door. Fearing he would be exposed, he quickly shut down his computer.
Before he could even panic and cover it up, he heard the terrible news brought by Kong Chi.
So, late at night, the two of them began their long search for the cat.
Kong Chi is allergic to cat fur, and Gu Zhixu had no intention of asking Kong Chi for help. However, Kong Chi insisted that it was his fault that Mimi was lost, and that he had a great responsibility that he could not shirk and had to help.
Gu Zhixu couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had to agree.
Two people working together is too inefficient, so let's split up and do it separately.
Logically speaking, it hasn't been long since Mimi ran away, so it shouldn't be hard to find her. But perhaps the park is too big, or perhaps Mimi has had enough of being caged and decided to hide.
In short, two hours passed, and Gu Zhixu's legs were weak and his voice was hoarse from shouting, but he still couldn't find the cat.
As the number of people around her dwindled and the time grew later, she was almost in despair.
Just then, she received a call from Kong Chi—"The cat has been found at the east gate of the South District."
Upon receiving the message, Gu Zhixu rushed over and immediately saw Mimi, who was being lured into the space box by a can of fresh meat and was now happily eating, and Kong Chi, who looked disheveled.
The phrase "utterly disheveled" is used because the latter had clearly been in a "struggle" with the cat; his hair was messy, his once-perfect shirt was torn to shreds, and he was covered in cat hair, and was currently sneezing incessantly.
Gu Zhixu didn't have time to think about anything else and quickly went over to take Mimi into her arms, looking at Kong Chi with concern: "President Chi, are you alright?"
Kong Chi shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and only after a fresh sneeze did he say, "When I saw it, it was playing with a dead earthworm in the grass. I was afraid it would eat it, so I quickly went over and caught it..."
Needless to say, Mimi certainly wouldn't wait for him to catch her; the battle is likely to be fierce.
“Actually, you don’t need to be like this…” Gu Zhixu looked at Kong Chi, his thoughts complicated: “Just call me immediately, and I will catch it.”
Knowing he was allergic and usually avoiding Mimi when walking, he actually reached out and grabbed the cat.
Is he really not considering the consequences?
Kong Chi rubbed his itchy nose: "I was afraid you wouldn't make it in time, and it would run away again."
Gu Zhixu felt a mix of emotions, but could only say, "Let's go to the hospital, your allergy is too severe."
Kong Chi shook his head: "It's okay, we have allergy medicine at home, I'll be fine after taking it."
Seeing that he insisted, Gu Zhixu stopped mentioning going to the hospital and went home with him.
After putting Mimi back into the cage, Gu Zhixu changed all her clothes, washed her hands, and made sure there was no cat hair on her before hesitantly knocking on Kong Chi's door.
"Please come in." Inside the room, Kong Chi's voice sounded a little muffled.
Gu Zhixu went in and saw Kong Chigang swallow his allergy medication and put the water back by the bedside.
As he moved, she could clearly see a long red mark on his forearm where he had rolled up his sleeves.
She rushed to his side, taking three steps at a time: "Did Mimi scratch you?"
Kong Chi coughed lightly and said, "It's alright, it's not serious."
Gu Zhixu grabbed his arm and looked at him closely.
The injury isn't exactly serious, but it's not minor either.
A long, red welt ran from his wrist to his elbow, with traces of blood still visible in some places.
She frowned: "Get up, go to the hospital for a shot."
Kong Chi quickly pulled her back and comforted her, "No need, it's not that serious. Mimi has already been vaccinated, right? I'll just disinfect it with iodine."
Seeing his insistence, Gu Zhixu finally gave in after a long while and asked, "Where is the iodine?"
Kong Chi wanted to say he didn't need her, but the lingering warmth on his forearm made him reluctant to leave, and he blurted out, "She's in the cabinet."
Gu Zhixu nodded, went over and took out the iodine solution, then sat down next to Kong Chi.
She took his arm and carefully wiped it for him.
Her movements were very gentle, her gaze focused and serious, as if she were not applying medicine, but doing something extraordinary.
Kong Chi was mature and sensible from a young age, and was mostly the one taking care of others, so he was rarely treated like this.
Looking at the people beside me now, I feel my heart has melted into a puddle of water, and I just wish time could stop right here.
But how long can applying medicine last? Gu Zhixu quickly finished applying the medicine and cleaned up the iodine solution, reminding him: "Don't get it wet before the scab forms. If you feel any discomfort, tell me immediately."
Kong Chi nodded obediently.
After finishing speaking, Gu Zhixu didn't leave. Instead, he lowered his head and whispered after a long while, "Thank you for today. If it weren't for you, Mimi might really have become a stray kitten."
Kong Chi curled his lips: "How do you want to thank me?"
Gu Zhixu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm willing to work an extra month without overtime pay?"
Kong Chi: "...No need for that."
"Then tell me." Gu Zhixu really couldn't think of a better solution.
"Save it for now, and we'll talk about it when I've thought it through?"
"Okay," Gu Zhixu agreed readily.
She really wanted to thank Kong Chi. This dignified CEO risked his allergies to catch the cat for her downstairs in the middle of the night.
Who would believe such a thing if I told them?
But Kong Chi did exactly that.
Not only that, he was also injured because of it. Looking at his long scar, she felt guilty and a little heartache.
"You absolutely mustn't get it wet until the injury has healed," she reminded him worriedly before leaving.
"Hmm," Kong Chi responded, but before she left, she suddenly spoke again, "Gu Zhixu."
Gu Zhixu turned around: "Hmm?"
"Please help me apply the medicine tomorrow morning too."
Gu Zhixu paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
The conversation was natural, and it seemed that no one had considered that Kong Chi's other hand was not injured, and he could have taken the medicine himself.
