Start at the pet store

Seeing the oiled soles of his feet, the reporter was dumbfounded: "He also said that Brother Wen was direct, but he just ran away..."

"Haha, we are all like this among colleagues. Say whatever you want, don't mind..." Ji Ling smiled and patted her.

"It's okay, you look so young, and he calls you sister? I see your skin is so good, I'm so envious..." The reporter looked at the collagen on Ji Ling's face with envy.

"That's what they call them. I'm actually a little younger than them, and your skin is also good, haha..." Ji Ling was a little uncomfortable with this kind of compliment, so she had to laugh to relieve it.

"Forget it, people are so irritating. I use good skin care products every day but it doesn't work. Let's talk about a cat. I really want to adopt it. What do you think needs to be done?" The little guy was still sleeping in her arms. Stable and steady, his mustache is up and down.

"Think about it, have you ever raised a cat before?" Ji Ling then looked at the reporter seriously.

The reporter shook his head. She must be in her twenties. She looked like an intern. She was dressed very fashionably. She looked very cute holding a cat.

"I've never raised one before. You can't raise one just because you think it's cute. Whether it's a cat or a dog, there will be a lot of trouble. Are you sure you are ready?" Ji Ling Looking at her like this, I kind of doubted whether she would give up halfway.

"I know, I won't. I like it very much. I can pay you a deposit, and I can also bring it back for inspections from time to time. Anyway, I will try my best to meet your requirements. In fact, I had it before I came here today. I’m planning to buy a cat. My best friend has one. Her boyfriend brought it back from Shanghai. It’s clingy. I heard it cost tens of thousands. However, I don’t like the way it looks. It’s like that Hairless, looks a bit like...like Avatar..." The reporter said and laughed to himself.

Ji Ling looked at her cute appearance and also laughed: "What Avatar? Haha, they are hairless cats. There are quite a lot of people who like to keep them now because they are really clingy and don't shed hair." , you know? The biggest disadvantage of cats is that they shed. If they didn’t shed, I think everyone would keep them..."

The two were similar in age and had a common language, so they started chatting happily.

It wasn't until Lu Jingxing was ready to go home that he realized that Ji Ling was nowhere to be found.

When he walked to the backyard, he faintly heard laughter coming from the cattery, and walked in doubtfully.

I saw two people holding a cat each, sitting at the round table in the cattery. They didn't know what they were talking about, and they were all laughing.

Seeing him coming in, Ji Ling wiped her eyes: "Brother Lu, are you done?"

Lu Jingxing nodded and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about? You are so happy and the reporter comrade is still here. I thought you had left long ago..."

"Why, I'm not welcome here..." the reporter asked with a coquettish smile.

"How is that possible? Everyone who comes is a guest. How can I not welcome you? I heard from our little grandson that you want to adopt a cat?" He pointed to a little black cat sleeping on the table, and the reporter kept following his fur. The cat asked: "Is that it?"

"No, no, it's that one. However, I won't take it back today. Lingling said, let me cultivate a relationship with it during this period, and then experience it first, and don't make a decision in a hurry. So, I Let me experience it first and let you know more about me..." She stood up with a smile and patted her butt.

"Mr. Lu, I have to give you some advice. This stool doesn't work. It's too cold. My butt is getting cold from sitting on it. It doesn't work anymore. I won't accompany it today. I have to go back. I will go back tonight and think about it for Xiaojiu. I’ll give you a name, try to get it within a week, and I’ll get you too..." She pointed at Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling with an air of pride, and smiled.

Ji Ling and Lu Jingxing looked at each other and laughed.

"She is really fun and good at talking..." Ji Ling said with a smile: "If I hadn't been strong-willed, our little nineteen would have been taken away by her tonight..."

Lu Jingxing didn't say anything, just looked at them with a smile.

"Mr. Lu, are you really good at choosing people? With Lingling's character, she would have been a good underground party during the revolutionary period. Really, I can't defeat her no matter how sweet I talk, and I don't know how you managed to make people think you are My girlfriend, the problem is, she is still a top student, Tsinghua University, I don’t seem to have a Tsinghua student around me, she is the only one..." The reporter praised Ji Ling without hesitation.

Lu Jingxing put his arms around Ji Ling's shoulders and said with a proud look on his face: "I can't tell you this, what will you do if you poach me..."

Ji Ling heard this and punched him with a smile.

The reporter burst out laughing: "Don't worry, don't worry, my sexual orientation is normal and I won't poach you..."

Because the reporter had a cheerful personality and spoke very straightforwardly, he and Ji Ling were like old friends who had known each other for a long time. They stood and chatted for a while before leaving.

The reporter did what he said. He did not take Little Nineteen away before leaving. Moreover, in the following week, he completed all the adoption procedures required by Lu Jingxing and the others before taking him away with satisfaction.

On the day she left, she said: "Xiaojiu, it's not that it doesn't sound good. In fact, it sounds pretty good, but I don't think it's special. I thought about it for a few nights, and then when I discussed it, I gave it my milk." I chose a name, Xiao Shiba. She said that eighteen sounded better than nineteen, so from now on it will be called Xiao Shiba..."

When she said this, everyone was bent over with laughter.

Ji Ling even smiled and said: "Panpan, please stop taking it now. There is no difference between you taking it and not taking it. I have been looking forward to it for so long, thinking it would be some amazing name..."

The reporter's name is Ren Pan, and everyone calls her Pan Pan. She said seriously: "You are wrong, I originally wanted to give it a more amazing name, but I think my grandma is right, so I will follow her... "

After some joking, she happily took Xiaojiu, oh, no, now Xiaoshiba, back.

This is a story for later.

Ji Ling asked Lu Jingxing after the three of them dispersed that day, because when she accompanied Ren Pan in the cattery earlier, Lu Jingxing was performing a second surgery on the finch cat she rescued in the rapeseed field that day.

Seeing the serious expression on Lu Jingxing's face, Ji Ling guessed that the operation might not go well, and she asked carefully: "How is it...?"

Lu Jingxing shook his head gently: "Her life is probably saved. She can eat a little tomorrow, but the baby in her belly..." He fell silent.

Ji Ling held his hand: "It's great to be able to save it. We are doctors, not gods. We can't save all patients. You are really great..."

Lu Jingxing smiled and touched her head: "You know, I'm not sad. I did try my best. Don't worry, I can adjust..."

After hearing this, Ji Ling jumped up and touched his forehead: "Then stop frowning and smile..."

You always have to look forward in life. Some things cannot be changed by humans, so just look forward to tomorrow.

The store officially opened for business the next day, and it was the first day of work after the new year. As Xiao Sun said, everyone was so busy.

Even when eating, everyone took turns eating. Lu Jingxing even took his meal to the office and ate it while receiving the reception. It took him an hour to eat one meal.

In this way, he was busy every day, and soon it was the day when Ji Ling started school.

The night before departure, she received a call from her mother. Her mother's voice on the phone was no longer as irritable as before. She had been deeply touched by Ji Ling after seeing her last time.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, perhaps because Ji Ling could live a good life without relying on them, she began to show weakness.

Ji Ling still remained awake. After the call came, she answered: "What's the matter?"

Mom promised not to speak for a long time.

"I'm going to die if you don't talk..." Ji Ling really doesn't want to do anything against her will. She has a new home and a son. She understands and accepts all these, but the previous hurts did exist, and she should take it as nothing. It didn't happen. Like other girls with happy families, I tried to coax her and please her. I'm sorry, but she couldn't do it.

"No, Lingling, I know you are going to school again tomorrow. I... Mom doesn't have much money to give you now. Do you have living expenses?" Mom said on the other end of the phone, her voice a little hoarse.

"Yes, I don't need you to worry about me in the future, just live your own life..." Ji Ling said simply.

She has long been able to rely on herself. Since she has no money to give, what is the point of calling her to say this? She doesn't even know what she is thinking, let alone thinking about this problem.

"You are my daughter after all, why shouldn't I worry about it? You should pay attention to your safety outside..." She wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Ji Ling: "I understand, I'm sorting things out, are you okay? ? It’s okay, I’m really dead..."

As the saying goes, belated affection is worse than grass, and she really doesn't need it now.

At this moment, Lu Jingxing knocked on the door and walked in: "Do you have this with you?" He took a bottle of shampoo, which was given by Lu Yin last time.

Then he saw Ji Ling talking on the phone. With just one glance, he knew who the call was from.

So, he immediately withdrew.

Ji Ling didn't want to say anything more and hung up the phone.

"I bought another bottle of this yesterday. I think you like to use it. You can take it first..." Lu Jingxing heard that there was no sound in the room and immediately walked in pretending not to know.

"No need, it's not like you can't buy it. I took it all. What do you use..." Ji Ling laughed dumbly. Knowing that Lu Jingxing was trying to make her happy, she smiled back at him.

Lu Jingxing walked over and hugged her: "It's okay. The baby has grown up and there will be me in the future. Let those unpleasant things pass, we don't want them anymore..."

"Well, okay..." Ji Ling made a muffled sound in his arms.
