Chapter 6 Chong Chong is a liar 3
The weekend is the busiest time at pet hospitals. Pet owners take advantage of the rare holiday to bring their pets to my store to give their pets a full body check-up or purchase some pet food and snacks. My parents had a very important surgery to perform today, so the task of taking care of the small animals in the store naturally fell on me.
"Meow - Xiaoduo, my ears are itchy, can you scratch them for me?" In the cage, a Persian cat lady whose front paw was injured due to being naughty, acted coquettishly towards me.
"No, you used this trick three minutes ago!" I coldly rejected its request.
"Awoo, woo, woo - Xiaoduo! Look at that stupid Husky! It ate my pudding!" The toy-like little Teddy looked at the Husky in the cage next door who was biting its tail non-stop and complained to me with tears in his eyes.
I glanced at the Husky, then took out another dog pudding and fed it to the little Teddy: "Little Husky, your can of pet food is gone tonight. This is your punishment for stealing the bear pudding!"
“Ah! Xiaoduo, you can’t do this to me—” Xiaoha wailed in pain and turned his butt towards me.
"Xiaoduo, Xiaoduo, are you really going to ignore Boss Abaibai?" A little puppy licked my finger gently while I was changing its water and asked me in a baby voice.
"Who is Abaibai? I don't know him!" I closed the cage door and said expressionlessly.
"Xiaoduo, you've changed. You weren't this 'two-legged beast' before! Your brain must have been eaten by aliens!" A giant turtle, which was said to be the pet of a great writer and was hospitalized because of a fish bone stuck in its throat, said slowly.
"It's zombies, not aliens, that eat brains!" While I was talking, I turned my head and looked at the door of the clinic. Bai Xiaocong, wearing a furry Dalmatian outfit, was squatting on the ground in the same posture as A Baibai. Both the man and the dog looked at the store with great resentment - thanks to A Baibai. Even though I ignored these two pets these days, they reported on time every day, leaving my ears no free time. As long as I come into contact with the pets in the hospital, I will be asked all kinds of questions.
Seeing me looking at them, Bai Xiaocong and A Baibai's eyes suddenly lit up, but when they realized that I didn't care, they lowered their heads dejectedly ...
Because of the issue of deception, after I parted unpleasantly with Bai Xiaocong and the others in the hospital last time, I went home. After telling my parents that A Baibai had returned to his owner, I immediately blacklisted Bai Xiaocong's cell phone number. In order to prevent him from continuing to use the previous tricks, I also set my cell phone to not receive unfamiliar calls and text messages.
In the past few days, Abaibai and Bai Xiaocong would come to apologize to me, but...
If an apology is useful, then I won’t be angry, okay?
Those who made mistakes must be punished for their mistakes!
"Student Bai Xiaocong? A Baibai? Why... are you squatting in front of Xiaoduo's house?" Just when I was cleaning the store, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door.
I looked up and saw Lu Zhan, who was wearing blue and white casual clothes and had an outstanding temperament, standing at the door of my store with Xiao Huihui, who was panting with his tongue hanging out.
He saw A Baibai and Bai Xiaocong squatting on the side, and walked up to them to greet them.
"Lu Zhan?" I put down the rag in my hand and walked forward in surprise, "Why... are you here?"
"Aoao - Xiaoduo, Xiaoduo, here we come - I've brought my handsome master to play with you!" Xiaohuihui looked at me with a big smile on his face and wanted to pounce on me, but because there was a leash around his neck, when he rushed over, he was ruthlessly pulled back before he could get close to me.
I walked over with a smile, untied the leash for Xiao Huihui, and touched its fluffy white fur. Xiao Huihui rubbed my face affectionately.
"Xiaoduo--" Watching Lu Zhan and Xiao Huihui come into the store, A Baibai and Bai Xiaocong stood pitifully outside the store, poked their heads in, and looked at me sadly.
Looking at the two of them, I couldn't help but frown and point at an A4 paper with black text on a white background posted outside the store. On it were written "Bai Xiaocong and A Baibai are not allowed to enter" in big and bold letters.
"Are you here today to buy something, or to do a beauty treatment for Xiao Huihui? If it's for a beauty treatment, you may have to wait a while. My parents are undergoing surgery and don't have time. But I can give Xiao Huihui a spinal massage, which will make Xiao Huihui healthier!" Ignoring the two looks that made me feel uncomfortable, I brought Xiao Huihui and Lu Zhan into the store and poured Lu Zhan a glass of water.
"Ahhh - Xiaoduo, you are the best! Apart from my handsome master, I like you the most! Do you really not want to be my handsome master's girlfriend?" Xiao Huihui stuck out his tongue and spun around my feet.
“Xiao Huihui, don’t bother Xiaoduo!” Seeing that Xiao Huihui was always pestering me, Lu Zhan smiled bitterly and pulled the overly lively Xiao Huihui back to his side. “I’m sorry for coming to you suddenly. Did I cause you any trouble?”
"No , I'm glad you came to see me, and - Xiao Huihui is very lively, I like him very much!" I smiled and shook my head, and handed a piece of teething biscuit as a gift to Xiao Huihui's mouth, "Xiao Huihui, this is a new flavor of teething biscuit, it can make your teeth whiter!"
"Oh! Xiao Huihui likes things with white teeth the most! Xiaoduo, you only let the handsome master and Xiao Huihui in. Do you hate A Baibai and his master who is not as handsome as my handsome master?" Xiao Huihui excitedly brought the teething biscuit to the door and said proudly in a voice that everyone could hear.
"Who do you say is not handsome!" Abaibai's gritted teeth voice came from outside the door.
"Xiao Huihui has white fur, white teeth, and a big tail, so Xiaoduo likes Xiao Huihui and gives Xiao Huihui delicious biscuits!" Xiao Huihui put the teething biscuits where Abaibai can see them, and raised his head proudly and wagged his tail as if he was showing off a medal.
"You stupid dog! If you have the guts, come out! Let's fight!" Abaibai shouted madly.
"A dog that fights is not a good dog! No wonder Xiaoduo doesn't like you anymore!" Xiao Huihui said seriously.
"Pfft——" Looking at the serious Xiao Huihui, I couldn't help laughing.
"Xiaoduo..." Lu Zhan said softly.
"Hmm?" I turned my head and just saw Lu Zhan's hesitant expression.
"Did... anything unpleasant happen between you and classmate Bai Xiaocong? I... just saw him outside, with a frustrated look on his face..." Lu Zhan frowned slightly and asked hesitantly.
"This..." I hesitated for a moment and didn't answer immediately. Even though I was very angry that Bai Xiaocong and A Baibai had lied to me, I couldn't tell others directly about their super powers!
"Is it inconvenient?" Seeing my hesitation, Lu Zhan smiled and helped me out. "I don't want to know, I just asked casually. If you don't want to say it, forget it..."
"No!" I shook my head subconsciously. "Actually... it's because I knew that Bai Xiaocong (and A Baibai) lied to me, so I was a little unhappy... Because I didn't know how to face them, I just ignored them. I will talk to them after I figured out what to do!"
I stuck out my tongue and looked at Lu Zhan a little embarrassedly: "Am I being particularly childish?"
"So that's how it is..." Lu Zhan said in a low voice, and then gave me a super bright smile, "Then I feel relieved."
"Ah?" I looked at him puzzled.
"Then, can you trust me? I will never lie to you, so, you..."
Lu Zhan's expression contained so many things that for a moment I wanted to run away.
"Oh, by the way, you haven't told me why you came to see me today!" I interrupted what Lu Zhan was about to say and changed the subject dryly.
Lu Zhan looked at me steadily, with an inexplicable light flashing in his brown eyes.
“Plop, plop—”
My heart began to pound, my hands began to sweat, and I grabbed a damp rag and absentmindedly wiped the dust off the decorative leaves next to me.
"Heh..." Lu Zhan smiled softly.
For a moment, I felt like had seen through what I was thinking, and I was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"It's like this. Actually... I've encountered something a bit troublesome recently..." Lu Zhan rubbed his brows and showed a troubled expression. "A few days ago, Xiao Huihui picked up a macaw in my yard. I saw that the parrot seemed very hungry, so I fed it. But since then, the parrot refused to leave..."
"Oh, do you want me to help you find the owner of the parrot, or help take care of the parrot? No problem!" Seeing that Lu Zhan no longer mentioned the previous topic, I breathed a sigh of relief, patted my chest generously, and said that I could help.
"No..." Lu Zhan frowned slightly, looking like he had a hard time saying it.
"What's wrong?" I've been brainwashed by the people in school. Lu Zhan is a cool and noble man. When I first saw his distressed expression, I actually had the urge to take a picture with my camera and benefit the girls in the school...
"That parrot...seems to be pursuing me..." Lu Zhan said with a slightly blushing face.
"Pfft——" I laughed out loud before Lu Zhan finished speaking.
"And from what I've observed, the owner of that parrot should be quite knowledgeable..." Lu Zhan paused and said.
"Why?" I was a little curious.
"Because not every talking macaw can recite the original sonnet..." Lu Zhan covered his face with one hand and said in pain, "Not only that, it... also said in a gangster-like manner that it would warm my bed..."
“Hahahahahaha!”
Imagining Lu Zhan's frightened look at being frightened by a parrot, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"When I saw the parrot, I thought that you seemed to understand animals very well. Sometimes, I even feel that you can communicate with animals... So, could you please communicate with this parrot and let it return to its owner?" Lu Zhan ignored my rudeness and asked sincerely.
"OK!"
Out of curiosity about this magical parrot, and also to divert my attention from Bai Xiaocong and A Baibai who were squatting at the door and looking at me with resentful eyes, I accepted Lu Zhan's commission.
