Chapter 170: Yan Luoxi, Afraid of Shots

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Yan Luoxi, Afraid of Shots

After ordering some braised pork trotter with rice for himself, Gu Yizhou thought for a moment and also bought a portion of fresh, live shrimp for Xiaobai, intending to make it up to her.

Xiaobai had been wandering outside for two days already; she must be starving and thirsty.

Besides, if he hadn’t gone out that night, she probably wouldn’t have snuck out.

’Wait a minute!’

’This...’

’The reason Xiaobai snuck out that night... could it be that she was trying to find me?’

At this thought, Gu Yizhou felt even more guilty towards Xiaobai.

If Yan Luoxi knew what Gu Yizhou was thinking right now, she would probably die laughing!

A moment later, the order was placed!

Now, all he had to do was wait for the delivery guy to bring it to his door.

’I have to say, the invention of food delivery is a godsend for countless lazy people!’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself.

After putting down his phone, Gu Yizhou got up and walked back into the bedroom...

"Xiaobai."

"Time to come down."

he said to Yan Luoxi, who was on top of the wardrobe.

His gentle tone was like he was coaxing a girlfriend.

"..."

Yan Luoxi opened her eyes, a look of helplessness on her face.

’Seriously!’

’This jerk!’

’You were gone for less than two and a half minutes.’

’How are you back in here already?’

Gu Yizhou stepped onto the bed and glanced at Yan Luoxi.

She seemed a little weak, and her tail wasn’t moving.

Gu Yizhou frowned and asked, "Xiaobai, are you not feeling well somewhere?"

Yan Luoxi: "?"

’How could this jerk guess that?’

"Meow~!"

she cried out.

’Jerk!’

’I’m fine!’

’Leave me alone!’

’Go eat your food. I’ll be fine on my own in a bit.’

Gu Yizhou turned, left the room, and then came back with a chair.

Stepping onto the chair,

Gu Yizhou could now reach the other side of the wardrobe top and grab Yan Luoxi!

Yan Luoxi turned, wanting to run.

But after Gu Yizhou moved the chair over,

the entire top of the wardrobe was exposed.

There was nowhere left for Yan Luoxi to hide.

In the end, Gu Yizhou still managed to grab her by the scruff of her neck.

"Meow~!"

"HISS~!"

This time, her struggles were a bit more intense.

’I’m going to bite you!’

’Let go!’

’Don’t touch me!’

’If I give you this cat cold, you’re going to feel miserable!’

Gu Yizhou grabbed both of her front paws.

"Don’t move around, or we’ll both fall in a second."

Gu Yizhou said as he climbed down from the chair.

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi’s movements paused slightly.

Gu Yizhou seized the opportunity to pull her into his arms and restrain her.

’Let go!’

Yan Luoxi still wanted to struggle.

But it was all in vain!

After getting off the chair, Gu Yizhou carried her out to the living room.

As winter set in, the sky started getting dark earlier and earlier.

By now, the sky outside was already completely dark.

Gu Yizhou carried her over to the sofa and sat down. Looking at her under the light, he noticed something was wrong with the cat.

"Hm?"

He frowned slightly and said, "Xiaobai, why is your nose so dry?"

As he spoke, Gu Yizhou reached out a finger and gently touched her nose.

Lying on Gu Yizhou’s lap, Yan Luoxi still struggled, trying to run away.

But Gu Yizhou held down the scruff of her neck, not letting her move.

After struggling a few times,

she started to pant.

With the cold, she felt it was a bit difficult to breathe.

Seeing her listless appearance, Gu Yizhou asked, "Xiaobai, are you sick?"

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi responded weakly.

’I’ve accepted my fate!’

’Jerk, if I give you this cold, don’t you blame me!’

"Uh... so you really are sick?"

Suddenly, Gu Yizhou thought of something and said in surprise, "Are you avoiding me because you’re sick?"

’This...’

’Is... is my cat worried about me?’

He knew his cat was smart, but he never expected her to be *this* smart!

’She even knows to stay away from me when she’s sick?’

Yan Luoxi turned her head away.

’Pah.’

’As if!’

’I just don’t want you to touch me!’

’Let me go, you jerk!’

"Come on, I’m taking you to the vet for a check-up!"

Gu Yizhou said after a moment of thought.

After speaking, he stood up, grabbed a blanket from the sofa, and wrapped Xiaobai in it, preparing to take her to the pet hospital.

"Meow!"

’I don’t want to go!’

’Jerk, I’m fine! Let me go!’

Yan Luoxi cried out a few times, struggling.

It was already dark, and she didn’t want to go out!

’Besides, I just have a cold, and I’ve already taken medicine!’

’The last thing I want is to go to the vet and get another shot!’

’Jerk, you ordered food, you haven’t even eaten yet!’

’I’m not going!’

But it was useless no matter how much she struggled.

With a serious expression, Gu Yizhou grabbed his coat and walked right out the door, carrying her by the scruff of her neck.

’Jerk!’

’Can’t you show me some respect? Don’t carry me out the door like this?!’

「Half an hour later.」

Inside the pet hospital.

Yan Luoxi was being held in Gu Yizhou’s arms, a look of utter despair on her face.

’She wanted to struggle!’

But right now, she didn’t have any strength at all.

And for some reason, the jerk’s scent was kind of nice today.

Smelling his scent, she felt a sense of security.

"Alright, it was just a little shot. It’s not like it’s going to kill you!"

Gu Yizhou gently stroked her little head and said comfortingly.

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi lifted her eyelids and glared at him.

’Jerk!’

’Easy for you to say.’

’You’re not the one getting the shot!’

"Er..."

Seeing Xiaobai’s disgruntled expression, Gu Yizhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

’This little expression of hers is so human-like!’

’If I didn’t know any better, I’d really think my cat was a person in disguise!’

"Xiaobai, be good. The shot is for your own health!"

"If you don’t get it, you’ll keep feeling miserable!"

"You don’t want to keep feeling this awful, do you, Xiaobai?"

Gu Yizhou patiently tried to soothe her.

Just then, the young female vet walked over, holding a detailed examination report, a syringe, and a vial of medicine.

Seeing her, Gu Yizhou walked up to meet her, holding the little white cat.

He asked, "Doctor, how is she?"

"It’s nothing serious, just a simple cold."

The vet said, "I’ll give her a shot in a moment, and then I’ll prescribe some medicine for you to take home and give her."

"Uh... a cold?"

Gu Yizhou was slightly taken aback.

’Can cats catch colds just like people?’

That was something Gu Yizhou truly knew nothing about.

As if sensing the confusion in Gu Yizhou’s eyes, the vet began to explain, "Cats can catch colds, just like humans. A cat’s cold is caused by a viral infection, similar to a human cold."

"The main symptoms of a cold in cats include sneezing, coughing, lethargy, and loss of appetite. In severe cases, they might also have purulent discharge, develop ulcers in their mouths, or have swollen submandibular lymph nodes. Additionally, just like with humans, a cat’s body temperature will rise when they have a cold."

After hearing all this, it finally dawned on Gu Yizhou.

’If I hadn’t gotten a cat, I really would never have known that they can catch colds just like people do...’
