Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Gu Yizhou: I’m touched, but Xiaobai, you still have to get this shot

"Xiaobai, so you have a cold?"

Gu Yizhou said softly, "You silly little cat, if you have a cold, you should have come to find Daddy sooner. Why were you hiding?"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi shot him a glare.

’Wasn’t it to keep from giving it to you?!’

’Stupid man!’

’You’re repaying my kindness with malice!’

’Hmph!’

She groused silently.

The young vet at his side heard Gu Yizhou and couldn’t help but say with some feeling, "Sir, your cat is very smart. She probably knew she was sick, so she hid from you because she was afraid of getting you sick, too."

Gu Yizhou was stunned when he heard the vet’s words!

He instinctively looked down at the cat in his arms.

’You silly little cat!’

’When you’re sick, you’re supposed to find someone!’

’How could you just hide away?!’

But even as he thought this, Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but feel a wave of warmth wash over him.

"Sigh..."

Something suddenly occurred to him, and he looked at the young vet again. "Doctor, um, a cat’s cold is a bacterial infection, right? Could it be because I’m tracking something back from outside every day and infecting her?"

"Meow~"

Yan Luoxi meowed at him.

’Stupid man, it has nothing to do with you! I just catch colds easily this time of year!’

Unfortunately, Gu Yizhou naturally couldn’t understand a word she was saying.

"No, it has nothing to do with you."

"The germs that cause a cat’s cold can’t survive in the human body, so cat colds can’t be transmitted to people. Likewise, when humans have a cold, they can’t infect cats with the virus."

"Of course, your cat wouldn’t know all this. The reason she was hiding from you must be an instinctive reaction, because she knows you’re good to her."

The young vet continued to explain.

Yan Luoxi, of course, heard the young vet’s words as well.

She breathed a silent sigh of relief.

Because she really, really didn’t want to pass her cold on to the stupid man.

"Oh, I see."

Gu Yizhou nodded, then looked down at Xiaobai in his arms and said, "Silly little cat, did you hear that? Your cold can’t be passed to me, so you don’t have to hide from me anymore, okay?"

But when she heard Gu Yizhou’s words, she couldn’t help but get angry!

’Hmph!’

’Stupid man!’

’Hide?!’

’I’ll hide all I want!’

’See what you can do about it!’

’Nyah nyah nyah...’

Yan Luoxi, in a fit of pique, turned her little head to the side, refusing to acknowledge that smelly guy Gu Yizhou anymore!

"Uh..."

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

"Pfft~"

Watching the amusing scene between the man and his cat, the young vet couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

At the sound of laughter, Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi, man and cat, simultaneously turned to look at her.

The young vet felt a little embarrassed being stared at, and her face flushed slightly.

"Ahem~"

She quickly faked a cough to hide her awkwardness, then said with a more serious expression, "Um... Sir, there is one more thing I should remind you of."

"The weather is starting to get colder now. Modu gets a lot of chilly, drizzly rain this time of year. If a cat stays out overnight in the wind and rain, or doesn’t have its fur dried properly after a bath, it can easily catch a cold if you’re not careful. So, you should pay more attention to your cat’s behavior, Sir."

Hearing the young vet’s words, Gu Yizhou suddenly remembered that Xiaobai had been sneaking out for the past two days.

’This...’

’She probably caught a cold because she snuck out and got chilled by the cold weather!’

’Uh...’

’Alright!’

’So, in the end, it was my fault that Xiaobai got sick with a cold.’

’Sigh~’

’What else could he say?’

Gu Yizhou felt a little helpless.

He nodded at the young vet and said, "Okay, Doctor. I’ll be more careful."

"Quietly holding the blue-and-white token, I keep my promise... Parting is always spent in sorrow..."

Just then, Gu Yizhou’s phone started ringing.

"Sorry, I have to take this call."

Gu Yizhou apologized to the young vet before answering the phone.

"Hello? Who is this?"

He said into his phone.

"Hello, your delivery is here."

An unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the line.

It was the delivery guy.

"Oh, sorry about that. I’m not home right now. Could you just leave it at the door for me?"

Gu Yizhou said.

"Okay."

Hearing this, the delivery guy on the other end didn’t say anything more.

After he hung up, the young vet gave him a surprised look. "You haven’t had dinner yet?"

"Yeah, I ordered some takeout earlier, but then I noticed something was wrong with Xiaobai, so I rushed over."

Gu Yizhou said helplessly.

"I see."

The young vet nodded. "Well, I’ll give the cat her shot now. After that, you can take her home."

The moment she heard the word "shot," Yan Luoxi’s body couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Ever since she was a child, her biggest fear had been getting shots...

’Meow!’

’Do I really have to get this shot?’

’No way!’

’I don’t want a shot!’

’I’m scared!’

Yan Luoxi prepared to escape!

Gu Yizhou sensed her unease and knew she was about to bolt, so he reached out his right hand and held her firmly by the scruff of her neck!

’A mission failed before it even began...’

’The escape plan was a failure...’

"Xiaobai, be good. After the shot, you won’t feel so bad anymore!"

Gu Yizhou soothed her softly, "Once it’s over, we’ll go home. Be a good girl, okay?"

"..."

Yan Luoxi knew it was useless to struggle, and for a moment, she lost the will to even meow.

’Fine!’

’Not that I can talk right now anyway!’

So she stopped struggling and crying out.

She looked as if she had lost all hope in life...

「A few minutes later.」

As expected, Yan Luoxi was given a shot.

"All done!"

"Xiaobai was such a good girl~"

The young vet praised Yan Luoxi as she withdrew the syringe.

’Oh, thank you SO much~!!’

Yan Luoxi didn’t even blink, completely ignoring her.

The young vet didn’t mind. It’s not like she was interested in female cats anyway!

’Looking at the handsome guy is much better!’

The young vet turned to Gu Yizhou with a smile. "Um, Sir, remember to give the cat her medicine on time when you get home and keep her warm. Other than that, she should be fine. You can go to the front desk to pay the bill and then you’ll be all set."

"Oh, okay. Thank you."

Gu Yizhou nodded.

He held Xiaobai and was about to turn and go to the front desk to pay.

The young vet suddenly remembered something and called out, "Oh, right, Sir!"

"When a cat has a cold, their body temperature rises, and they can get dehydrated easily. If you have time, try to encourage your cat to drink more water to replenish lost fluids. If you do that, there shouldn’t be any major problems!"

"Okay, okay!"

"Thanks again!"

Gu Yizhou nodded.

Then he said goodbye to the young vet and went to the front desk to pay.
