Chapter 33 Daily Visits to the Sick (Part 3)
Lu Ren was on his way home, holding a short-legged little corgi in his arms.
To be precise, this is not a little Corgi, but a transformed Kirin cub.
Back to an hour ago, the Qilin cub completely ignored Nurse Xiaojia's screams. It ate the apple contentedly and even licked its lips with satisfaction.
But Lu Ren himself was not as calm as Qilin. He was like a low-quality tourist who did not follow the rules in the zoo and fed the animals at will. He only realized his mistake when he was caught. This was even the second time he was caught for violating the rules.
"Ah, I really want to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it." Lu Ren thought.
He stood up hurriedly and said to Sheng Min, who actually couldn't hear anything, "I'll come to see you next time." Then he quickly bowed to Dean Bai Ze and Nurse Xiao Jia, and then quickly fled the ward. During the whole process, Lu Ren didn't dare to open his eyes to see what the expressions of Dean Bai Ze and Nurse Xiao Jia were at the moment.
Nurse Xiaojia seemed to have been petrified. She stood stiffly at the door and kept shouting "No!!!" at the door of the ward for a long time. Even when Lu Ren passed by her when he was leaving the ward, her movements did not change at all.
Lu Ren couldn't care less, he fled like a flash, but just as he reached the hospital entrance, he found that his trouser leg was pulled by something. He looked down and found that it was the unicorn cub who did it. It was holding Lu Ren's trouser leg with all its strength, and when it saw Lu Ren looking down at it, it quickly let go of the trouser leg and said "Woof".
Lu Ren thought that the Qilin cub wanted to continue eating the apple, so he squatted down and touched the Qilin cub's head, and patiently explained to him: "The apples are gone, I want to go home." As a result, after he finished speaking, he stood up and was about to take a step, but his trouser leg was bitten by the Qilin cub again.
Lu Ren looked at Qilin cub's actions with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
At this time, mixed with the background sound of Nurse Xiaojia's "No!!!", Dean Bai Ze's voice suddenly came from behind Lu Ren: "Oh, so that's it."
Lu Ren and Qilin Cub simultaneously looked towards Dean Bai Ze who was walking slowly in this direction. They saw the white goat narrow his eyes and put on an expression of understanding. Dean Bai Ze said to Lu Ren: "Qilin's voluntary labor time ends today, and the temporary residence permit in the human world has been obtained. What he still lacks is a place to live in the human world."
Dean Bai Ze cleared his throat and said to Lu Ren solemnly, "Why not let him live with you temporarily?"
After hearing this, Lu Ren turned his head and looked at the Qilin cub at his feet. He thought, "Even though I have to work in a workplace full of monsters to make a living, I am still a human. Even if the Qilin is a mythical beast, it is still a kind of monster after all. What if I live with monsters every day even in my private time?"
Having made up his mind, Lu Ren was about to say no to Master Bai Ze. But at this moment, he saw the Kirin cub's big eyes staring at him wholeheartedly, and its wet black eyes were full of Lu Ren's image. Lu Ren couldn't help but think of the first time he saw the Kirin cub. At that time, the Kirin cub was hungry and living in the fallen leaves of the park, like an abandoned puppy, very miserable.
Lu Ren told himself: "Hold on, Lu Ren! Don't be soft-hearted!" But he still couldn't convince himself not to think about how the little Qilin looked at that time, "If I refuse, will it come back to the park?" This thought kept popping up in Lu Ren's mind.
In the end, Lu Ren nodded softly in the expectant eyes of the Qilin cub, and started his life as a dad.
"It shouldn't be a problem." Lu Ren comforted himself. Then he lowered his head and introduced himself to the Qilin cub: "Hello, my name is Lu Ren, do you want to come with me?"
Qilin cub is two hundred years old this year and has dealt with all kinds of monsters, but he likes Lu Ren, a human being, the most because Lu Ren cooks delicious food and is a very gentle person.
"He's a good servant." The Qilin cub thought, "But compared to the majestic Qilin, he seems to prefer those weak and harmless creatures. As a qualified master, I should try my best to satisfy my servant." Thinking of this, the Qilin cub blinked its big, flickering eyes and said tentatively: "Ah... Ren."
The sudden speech of the unicorn cub startled Lu Ren. He leaned back and almost lost his balance. Fortunately, Lu Ren quickly calmed down and said, "I'm sorry, you scared me when you spoke suddenly. Well, if you want to call me Ah Ren, that's fine too."
The Qilin cub was very happy to hear this. It excitedly jumped and circled around Lu Ren, shouting, "Aren! Aren!"
Its happy mood also infected Lu Ren, and Lu Ren couldn't help but start to smile: "It seems that this decision is not too bad." Lu Ren thought so.
They played around in front of the hospital for a while and were about to go home together when Lu Ren suddenly realized, "But I have to take the bus back. If you look like this, we will be taken to the laboratory for research." Lu Ren was a little distressed.
Dean Bai Ze was watching the interaction between the two with satisfaction. When he heard Lu Ren's words, he couldn't help but laugh: "What's so difficult about this? Although Qilin is like this, their Qilin lineage is also a divine beast that can reach the sky and the earth. The mere art of transformation is not a difficult task."
As if to echo Bai Ze's words, Qilin turned around and transformed into the Corgi it saw that day. It was exactly the same, and Lu Ren couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah! Huanhuan!"
Because there was no dog leash, Lu Ren carried Huanhuan, who was transformed from Qilin, home. It must be said that although Qilin looked exactly like Huanhuan, it was much heavier than Huanhuan, and Lu Ren was exhausted and sweating.
After Lu Ren and Qilin left, Nurse Xiaojia, who was still shouting "No!!!", finally came to her senses. She slowly realized that everyone in the ward was gone: "What's going on! Could it be that the rude humans boldly abducted Master Bai Ze and Master Qilin?!"
Nurse Xiaojia hurried out. But she only saw Master Bai Ze standing alone at the hospital gate. She excitedly stepped forward and asked, "Master Bai Ze, are you okay? Where is that human who was rude to you again and again!"
"He brought Qilin back home."
Nurse Xiaojia couldn't even digest this sentence for a moment: Who is taking whom? Is that rude human taking Master Qilin?
Nurse Xiaojia was about to be petrified and shout "No!!" again, but this time Lord Bai Ze stopped her in time.
Bai Ze said to Nurse Xiaojia earnestly, "Xiaojia, the habits you acquired when you were a roe deer are really bad. If you always do this in the hospital, it will scare the patients."
Nurse Xiaojia apologized humbly, but she kept muttering in her heart: "I have been well trained, but any nurse would collapse if faced with such a thing."
Nurse Xiaojia didn't dare to refute in front of Lord Bai Ze, because even though Lord Bai Ze looked like an ordinary goat, it didn't mean he was really a goat.
That is Bai Ze, who "knows the nature of all things". Bai Ze's decision cannot be wrong.
"Qilin can't live under our wings forever." Lord Bai Ze stared at the hospital gate for a long time and said, "He needs to enter the world before he can become a real Qilin." Then Bai Ze turned around and walked back to where he came from. As he walked, he called out to Nurse Xiaojia: "Let's go, it's time for rounds. Don't be lazy during work hours."
Nurse Xiaojia nodded, not quite understanding, and then hurriedly trotted to follow Master Bai Ze to the ward. She looked back at the empty hospital gate. Although there was nothing there, she seemed to see that in the distant future, a majestic unicorn would walk through that gate again with high-spirited steps.
"I hope that day won't be too far away." Nurse Xiaojia sincerely hopes so.
On the other hand, Lu Ren, who took over the little Qilin, was extremely anxious. He carried Qilin home breathlessly. In the hot summer, carrying such a heavy object, Lu Ren felt like he had just been fished out of the water.
However, the more daunting thing is yet to come: Lu Ren knows nothing about raising Qilin.
Lu Ren first settled the unicorn cub, and then began searching online: how to raise a unicorn.
The old electric fan in the living room was humming, creating a rare cool breeze in the summer. SpongeBob SquarePants was playing on TV, and the unicorn cub sitting on the sofa had returned to its original state, holding the ice cream that Lu Ren gave it, licking it while watching TV.
Lu Ren searched for a long time but didn't get much, so he asked Qilin cub: "Qilin, what do you want to eat for dinner?"
Qilin remembered the meal Lu Ren cooked for him last time, smacked his lips and said, "Stewed eggs."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ren silently closed the search interface on his mobile phone screen. It was clearly written on the interface that Qilin only eats grass.
After dinner, Lu Ren thought that he still had to report this matter to the bureau, so he took out his phone and sent a message to Si Yuan: "Qilin wants to stay at my place temporarily, is there any problem?"
Lu Ren waited for a while but did not receive a reply from Si Yuan, so he was bored and suggested to Qilin cub: "Do you want to take a bath?"
The Qilin cub seemed to be very unfamiliar with the word "bath". It tilted its head and said, "Bath?"
When Lu Ren filled his childhood bathtub with warm water, the unicorn cub still resisted, thinking to himself: "The damn servant actually wanted to murder me!"
However, when Lu Ren began to wash the little Qilin, the Qilin cub even squinted his eyes in comfort. Lu Ren also very considerately used a small toothbrush to clean every gap between the Qilin cub's scales. The Qilin cub pinched the little yellow duck that Lu Ren casually placed in the bathtub, and thought with satisfaction: "It seems that this servant is still very loyal, so Master Qilin will reluctantly let him sleep next to Master Qilin."
At night, the Qilin cub who was stopped outside the door felt like the world was collapsing.
Lu Ren pointed at the sofa with bedding and said helplessly to the little Qilin: "You sleep on the sofa today, and I will buy you a child bed tomorrow." Then he closed the door of the room in front of the little Qilin.
Kirin cub: "NOOO ...
