After seeing the emotion color, they all turned pink.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? This is a cat I've raised in my shop since it was a kitten, it's perfectly healthy..."

The fat woman raised her voice and, ignoring Xu Wanxing, took two steps at a time to approach Xu Chuan and Chen Mo.

Then, under their gaze, she grabbed the tabby cat that was nestled in the cage, hugged it, and stroked its back twice.

"Meow—" the tabby cat meowed.

"Look how healthy this is, you don't know what you're talking about..." The fat woman glanced at Xu Chuan.

Chen Mo noticed that the boss's behavior was making Xiao Mao upset, so he quickly raised his arm and said something.

"Put it down... let me take another look..."

Xu Chuan also stepped forward, stretched out his finger, and pointed at the kitten that had been picked up a few times.

"My mom's a veterinarian, and this cat looks like it's been given a sedative. Boss, look at its eyelids..."

Xu Chuan began to pretend to talk nonsense.

The fat woman's eyes widened as she looked at Xu Chuan in astonishment, speechless for a moment.

How did he figure that out?

The amount of tranquilizer wasn't large, and the cat was just being docile, not listless. How could you tell that?

Are veterinarians these days so good that they can tell the difference at a glance?

This tabby cat developed chronic stress syndrome in kittens when it was taken to the VIP vaccination center.

It is a mild multi-system complication induced by immune fluctuations.

However, the cat's illness isn't actually serious; its main symptom is that it's extremely prone to stress.

But how can she sell a pet cat that's always stressed?

So, the proprietress would give it a sedative every day to make it seem more docile, hoping to sell it as soon as possible...

However, seeing Xu Chuan's professional demeanor as the son of a veterinarian, the fat woman stopped arguing and took the initiative to back down.

"Oh dear, what's wrong? It's just that the kitten is timid and shy. If you want to buy something else, take your time, we're closing soon. I'll give you a discount!"

She then looked at Chen Mo and said.

"Do you like cats? I have a litter of kittens in the back room that I can sell to you cheaply, less than a hundred. They haven't been vaccinated yet, but I guarantee they're all healthy..."

"If you're worried, you can have this young veterinarian keep an eye on things with you," the plump woman smiled at Xu Chuan again.

Wow, this boss is really good at business.

However, to Xu Chuan's surprise, Chen Mo shook his head.

"No, I'll take this one. Boss, can you give me a discount?"

"This cat might have something wrong with it..." Xu Chuan whispered a reminder.

He didn't believe the fat proprietress's explanation, that the cat's timidity and need for sedatives was a serious matter.

"It's nothing serious, just a minor illness."

Chen Mo actually smiled. "Perfect, quite like me..."

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment.

In his field of vision, Chen Mo's original 100% blue outline had changed, with a hint of pink appearing in the pure blue.

Unexpectedly, this silent god found a sense of shared suffering in a sick kitten.

"Huh?" The fat woman was also surprised that the student would still choose the cat after discovering the problem.

That's wonderful! She couldn't be happier!

"Okay, then I won't ask you for any extras. I'll just sell you the vaccine for 150. Take it."

"You boss!" Xu Chuan continued his pursuit, "Don't pretend you can't let them take you away, can't you at least give them a cage?"

The fat woman's lips twitched twice, but she still forced a smile.

You son of a bitch, just wait until your girlfriend picks hers, I'll make sure you piss your ass off...

"Okay, I'll give you another bag of cat food, is that enough?"

And so, the sick tabby kitten was taken into the Gulu Ball by the summoner Chen Mo.

Thank you for today.

Chen Mo, carrying the cage, walked to Xu Chuan's side.

Noticing that he was walking with another girl, Chen Mo seemed to understand something, so he didn't plan to linger.

Before leaving the store, he took out his phone, his expression quite sincere.

"Xu Chuan, your mother is a veterinarian. Can we add each other on WeChat? I might need to ask you some questions in the future..."

Haha... To be asked "for guidance" by the strongest modern student in the Fourth Middle School, this feeling... is so wonderful!

"Ah...hesitating."

Xu Chuan scratched his face, but didn't take off his veterinarian's son persona.

Although my mom isn't a veterinarian at all, she should be fine.

With AI developing so advanced now, if Chen Mo's divine pet ever runs into a problem, he can ask him on WeChat.

Xu Chuan gave him the most direct, practical, and straightforward reply, saying he'd at least offer a "Doubao Teacher's Expert Mode."

"Beep".

WeChat added successfully.

Meanwhile, on the other side,

Su Ling, who had just finished working overtime on a client-side IPO project in Jingzhou City and was leaving the site, suddenly sneezed loudly while sitting in the passenger seat.

Su Ling turned to look at Xu Jingshan, who was driving, rubbed her nose, and said in a puzzled voice, "My son seemed to be missing me just now!"

Old Xu raised an eyebrow, his voice tinged with amusement.

"What a coincidence? I miss my son too. How about we go back to Yiyue City this Sunday? This project is almost finished..."

Upon hearing this, Su Ling clapped her hands.

"Yeah, isn't it Xiaochuan's birthday this week? Let's sneak over to his place and give him a shock... I mean, a surprise!"

"Alright! This kid always asks for money, not gifts, for his birthday. He's not close to us at all. This year, we have to give him a memorable and special birthday!"

In just a few words, the couple finalized their plans for Sunday.

As dusk fell,

Shops along the pet street closed one by one. After adding Xu Chuan on WeChat, Chen Mo put away his phone.

Xu Chuan was still looking at his phone screen.

"Don't remain silent..."

Xu Chuan muttered Chen Mo's online name to himself, then smiled sheepishly at Chen Mo.

This habit needs to be corrected. After adding someone as a friend, I always like to read their online name in front of them. I did the same thing with Xiaoxing at the hotel last time.

The other person seemed to feel a little embarrassed, even though they weren't familiar with each other.

However, Chen Mo didn't care at all.

Not only that, his expression was very natural, and he even smiled at Xu Chuan, speaking frankly.

"Yes, don't stay silent."

"Okay, good name."

Seeing that he wasn't embarrassed, Xu Chuan wasn't embarrassed either, smiled, and continued,

"From now on, if I encounter a problem I don't know how to solve, I'll definitely stop keeping quiet and start bothering you like crazy."

"Haha, sure!"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

After finally closing a deal, the proprietress felt physically and mentally exhausted.

With her eyes drooping, she glanced at the culprit who was now laughing and joking as he returned to the store from the doorway.

"Look at you, what kind of boyfriend are you? You're so knowledgeable, you little veterinarian, but you only show off to outsiders and don't even try to help your girlfriend..."

The fat woman's move was a stunt; she wanted to use this statement to get Xu Wanxing to teach Xu Chuan a lesson.

Unfortunately, things did not turn out as she had predicted.

Xu Wanxing, who was called upon, suddenly became a little flustered and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I just came to take a look, I'm not buying anything... Don't worry about me..."

But as soon as she said it, she realized she had said something inappropriate.

Honestly, who says they're just looking and not buying anything in someone's shop, right in front of the owner? Now who's going to like you?

That's so stupid!

Xu Wanxing suddenly fell silent, looking at Xu Chuan with some nervousness.

"It's okay, I'll show it to my girlfriend right away."

Xu Chuanxing walked excitedly towards Xu Wanxing.

When people outside say that the two are in a romantic relationship, and Xiao Xingxing hasn't refuted it, he feels a little secretly pleased.

Looking at Xu Wanxing's gentle and delicate profile, under the cartoon lights of the pet shop, the girl's fair face made the black outline even more eye-catching, Xu Chuan sighed softly.

Pity……

If she were really my girlfriend, I wouldn't mind...

"Your mom is a veterinarian? You even know about small animals, that's great..."

A gentle light flashed in Xu Wanxing's dark eyes, and she lowered her voice, "I actually quite like small animals too."

"Is there anything you like?" Xu Chuan asked.

A plan suddenly flashed through his mind: could he get the small animals to save Xu Wanxing?

If you let her raise an animal and develop a bond with it, she won't want to leave, just like raising a child.

I can't just say "Little Mao, your mother is leaving. From now on, you'll stay with your father. You two have to take good care of yourselves..." before I even set off.

No way...

Thinking this, Xu Chuan looked around at the pets in the area and then felt a chill run down his spine.

These noble foreign cat breeds are all very well-behaved, lying in their cages, and they are also very beautiful.

That's the price...

Who left their phone number here? Can someone claim it?

There are several that even Xu Wanxing and his two current combined assets cannot afford.

What if Little Star takes a liking to this kind of cat?

Should we let her borrow some money?

Great idea! We won't have to return it after we get on the road.

Sister, give me your phone...

After scanning the group of pedigree cats, Xu Wanxing shook her head.

"These cats are all very pretty, but not cute... The kitten you sent me at noon... it's quite adorable..."

"..."

Xu Chuan recalled that the emoji he sent her at noon was of a round-headed old man riding a bicycle.

Thinking of this, he nodded in agreement.

"Yes, orange cats are the gentlest, most obedient, and most affectionate kittens in the world!"
