Is this the fat orange you dropped?

The appointment with the shelter was on Saturday, Xie Xiaobao was worried at home all day, after much deliberation, he could only pretend that he was in a hurry and let an acquaintance go instead.

Lao Wang and He Yu definitely can't, neither of them know their identities, if they accidentally reveal their secrets, it will be troublesome.

After lying down and thinking for a while, I had no choice but to ask my sister-in-law for help.

Xie Xiaobao took the phone and called Qu Yanning, but it took a while to pick up, and it was still Xie Qi's voice.

"Hey?"

"Second Brother," Xie Xiaobao asked strangely, "Where is my sister-in-law?"

"He's sleeping." Xie Qi sat down beside the bed wearing a bathrobe, and Qu Yanning was sleeping soundly next to him.

Xie Xiaobao looked at the time and thought to himself that it's past twelve o'clock, why is his sister-in-law still sleeping.

"Is there anything I can do with him?" Xie Qi changed hands, his voice lazily.

"Well," Xie Xiaobao said about going to the shelter, "I want my sister-in-law to help me."

"He can't come," Xie Qi refused unwillingly.

Xie Xiaobao felt wronged immediately, "I'll ask my sister-in-law myself."

Xie Qi snorted, and said in a drawn out voice, "It's useless to find your sister-in-law, we're out on a trip, and we're in the mountains now."

Xie Xiaobao: "..."

"Okay." After a while of silence, Xie Xiaobao said lazily, "Then I'll ask others for help."

Xie Qi managed to coax him out to play, so he naturally didn't want to waste time with his stupid brother, so he comforted him with a few perfunctory words and asked him to find his elder brother, then hung up the phone.

Facing the hung up call interface, Xie Xiaobao sighed deeply.

This really worries the cat even more.

He turned back into a cat and rolled hard on the bed a few times, not knowing who to turn to for a moment.It doesn't feel good to disturb the big brother because of such a small matter, Xie Yan's company is busy, it's not a very important thing, he doesn't want to waste the big brother's time.

Tucking his head under the pillow, Xie Xiaobao froze for a while, suddenly a person flashed in his mind.

"Meow!" Xie Xiaobao jumped up suddenly, why didn't he think of Hu Jiuli before!

Hu Jiuli is also a monster, and he is not very busy at ordinary times. It is not a good time to ask him to help accompany him to the shelter!

Xie Xiaobao changed back, took the phone and sent Hu Jiuli a message.

Hu Jiuli at the other end directly made a video call to him.

"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, what do you want me to do?" Hu Jiuli was nestled on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, smiling very treacherously.

Xie Xiaobao puffed his face, and explained his identity in a single brain, and told about going to the shelter, and then asked a little nervously, "Can you go with me?"

Hu Jiuli rubbed his chin and said with a smile, "You can go...but how will you repay me?"

Xie Xiaobao tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Would you like to have dinner?"

Hu Jiuli twitched the corners of his mouth as he watched him thinking seriously, knowing that this silly kitty couldn't take a joke, so he had no choice but to say: "Yes, treat me to dinner, and I want to eat the most expensive one."

Xie Xiaobao didn't expect it to be such a simple request, and his frowns immediately loosened, "No problem!"

After the two matched their statements, Xie Xiaobao turned off the video and went to ask Lao Wang for leave.

Lao Wang had something to do that day, and the staff of the shelter had already communicated. Originally, it was said that Xie Xiaobao would go there with the orange treasure. Just say hello.

Xie Xiaobao made up a reason why there was a sudden emergency at home, Xie Xiaobao didn't dare to call, fearing that he would be too nervous and reveal his secrets, so he sent Lao Wang a WeChat message, saying that he would let a friend go there instead of him on Saturday.

Xie Xiaobao has always been an honest and good baby, Lao Wang didn't think much about it when he received the news, he just asked him to ask for help whenever he needed it, and he didn't ask any more questions.

On the contrary, Xie Xiaobao was very guilty of lying, his heart was still beating, and it took a long time to calm down.

After solving Lao Wang's side, Xie Xiaobao packed his luggage and went to Hu Jiuli's house ahead of schedule on Friday night.

Hu Jiuli's residence was next to his studio, Xie Xiaobao took a taxi there, Hu Jiuli was already waiting downstairs for fear that he would not find his way.

Seeing him, Xie Xiaobao waved to him happily and trotted over.

"Let's go, I'll wait for you for a while." Hu Jiuli took his luggage and took him up together.

Xie Xiaobao followed behind him, still a little embarrassed, "I've bothered you these two days."

Hu Jiuli gave him a sideways glance, and said with a smile, "You're not very old, so you can be polite."

Xie Xiaobao laughed, his round eyes bent into semicircles.

"Here we are." The elevator stopped on the nineteenth floor, and Hu Jiuli pressed the door open button to let him go first.

Hu Jiuli's home is very big, and the decoration is extremely luxurious. As soon as he entered the door, Xie Xiaobao was dazzled by the crystal chandelier in the living room.

He stared in surprise at the living room, which can be called resplendent and magnificent, and asked in surprise, "Is this your home?"

Hu Jiuli put the luggage aside and said triumphantly, "How about it, isn't it good?"

Xie Xiaobao said honestly: "It's decorated like a hotel."

"..." Hu Jiuli frowned, "I'll just take it as a compliment."

Xie Xiaobao laughed and said that I was just complimenting him.

Hu Jiuli didn't want to make trouble for himself, and he didn't show off, and took him to the guest room resignedly.

After resting at Hu Jiuli's house for one night, Xie Xiaobao got up early the next morning to pack himself up, and then ran to wake up Hu Jiuli who was still sleeping.

Hu Jiuli was still half asleep, seeing that Xie Xiaobao hadn't recovered a bit, Xie Xiaobao urged him to wash up before he woke up.

After tidying up and taking the car keys, Hu Jiuli looked at Xie Xiaobao who was about to go out with his arms in his arms, "Are you going out like this?"

Xie Xiaobao looked down at himself, wondering: "Is there a problem?"

"Your identity today is a cat." Hu Jiuli raised his chin, "You have to do a full set of acting, change back quickly, and I'll take you out."

Xie Xiaobao was right after thinking about it, it would be bad if he was caught by the camera outside.

Transforming back into a cat shape, Xie Xiaobao squatted on the ground with his paws together, tilted his head and meowed at Hu Jiuli.

Hu Jiuli clicked his tongue, bent down, picked him up and put him on his arm, took the opportunity to stroke his hair, and praised: "It feels good, just a little worse than mine."

Xie Xiaobao meowed at him twice, and patted his hand with his tail, telling him not to touch it.

He went to the garage to pick up the car, let Xie Xiaobao sit in the co-pilot, and fastened his seat belt, before Hu Jiuli bypassed the driver's seat and drove.

The shelter is located in the suburbs, and it takes nearly an hour to drive there without traffic jams. There are many cars traveling on Saturdays, and it may take an hour and a half at the earliest.

It was almost ten o'clock when we arrived at the shelter. The staff received their news and were waiting in advance.

The place where the shelter is located, the traffic is not very convenient, travel can only rely on the bus every half an hour, but fortunately they came by car, Hu Jiuli found an open place to park the car, and went over with Xie Xiaobao in his arms.

The staff responsible for receiving them had been waiting at the door for a long time, and saw Hu Jiuli coming up with some hesitation.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Hu?" Hu Jiuli was covered with famous tags, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance, and the attitude of the staff was a little stiff.

"Hello," Hu Jiuli smiled, and lifted Xie Xiaobao up, "This is the orange treasure. His master has something to do, so let me take him for a day."

After confirming their identities, the staff took the two of them in. The environment of the shelter was not very good. Hu Jiuli took a quick look and found that it was rebuilt from an old private house. After entering, it was a simple reception area and a resting place for the staff.

After registering with Hu Jiuli and putting on work clothes, the staff took them to the backyard to see where the animals lived.

"Is there no one here?" Hu Jiuli saw that the staff was a little cautious, so he took the initiative to find a topic.

"Yes," asked about the familiar field, and the staff obviously became chatty. "Several universities in the city often have student associations come over to do volunteer work."

"It's just that Jubao is coming over today. The director is worried that the students will be too enthusiastic and cause trouble, so no volunteers will be organized to come over this week."

"So that's how it is," Hu Jiuli scratched Xie Xiaobao's chin, and said with a joke, "You still have a lot of face."

Xie Xiaobao meowed, pushed his hand away with his claws, and looked at the shelter curiously.

After entering, there is a yard, and there are several doors connected to the yard, and you can vaguely see the figure poking around the door.

"Many small animals are relatively timid," the staff introduced to them: "This is where they usually move and take a bath, but except for meals, most of the animals stay in their dens, only the courageous ones Or those who are more active will go out for a walk."

Xie Xiaobao jumped to the ground and took a few steps forward curiously.

Some of the timid cats and dogs near the yard had already hid in the door, but some were also grumpy and barked at him eager to try.

The worker tapped the ground with a bamboo pole to silence the howling animals.

"It's like this with strangers at the beginning, and they will get along well after getting to know each other well," the staff member worried that Hu Jiuli would be unhappy, and explained to him: "These children are more sensitive, so the director suggested that Jubao should come and get to know each other first. one time."

"It's okay," Hu Jiuli stepped back, letting Xie Xiaobao try to blend in by himself.

Xie Xiaobao lowered his body, his ears stood straight forward, and his round eyes were wide open. After being denied entry, he patiently lay down and moved forward carefully to minimize his sense of threat.

"What a fool."

A rough meowing sound came from the courtyard wall, Xie Xiaobao moved his ears, half straightened his body and turned his head to look, and saw a big black cat squatting on the top of the wall, its green eyes were fixed on Xie Xiaobao, as if Predator locked onto prey.

Xie Xiaobao shrank his neck, but still had the courage to communicate with her, "Hello, are you the cat who lives here?"

The black cat glanced at him contemptuously, flicked its tail, jumped down from the high wall, and then ran into a room near the wall with agility.

Xie Xiaobao resolutely tried to follow, but was roared by the black cat that suddenly turned back. The black cat's voice was rough, and when it lowered its voice, it was particularly deterrent. Xie Xiaobao was so frightened that he took two steps back, his ears subconsciously Stick it on the back of your head.

"It's okay," the staff stepped forward and touched Xie Xiaobao, worried that he would be frightened,

"Xiao Hei is like this, she has a wild temper, and even the most powerful dog king in the shelter is afraid of her." The staff member realized that he seemed to be getting darker and darker, and quickly explained: "But as long as you don't provoke her, She won't attack people, Xiao Hei is very smart."

Hu Jiuli picked up the listless Xie Xiaobao, frowned and said, "Why do you mix cats and dogs together? Don't they know how to fight?"

The staff looked a bit embarrassed, and he said helplessly: "You have also seen that our conditions here are like this, where there is funds, we can build a cattery alone."

"Before this place was originally separated by barbed wire, but Xiao Hei's temperament was wild, and he couldn't be closed. After a few fights and the division of the territory, he survived and lived together peacefully."

"Are these cats free to go out?"

"Just Xiao Hei," the staff patiently explained to him, "Xiao Hei was originally a wild cat outside. At that time, she found a shelter when she was pregnant with kittens. Later, she gave birth to cubs, and the two cubs stayed in the shelter. , she herself just comes back to visit from time to time, and doesn't often live in the shelter."

Hu Jiuli looked at the dilapidated and dilapidated yard, and it seemed that he really couldn't ask too much. It was a miracle that the place could be in operation for so many years.

Hu Jiuli took Xie Xiaobao to stay in the shelter for a long time, but maybe it was Xiao Hei's repulsion, and even the dog group was full of hostility towards him. Xie Xiaobao tried his best, but failed to talk to the animals in the shelter. They are familiar with each other.

In the afternoon, the staff sent the two of them out with apologetic expressions.

Hu Jiuli waved his hands in a very carefree manner, "It's okay, I'll bring Ju Bao over when I'm free."

Xie Xiaobao's whole cat was listless, but he still mustered up his spirits and politely said goodbye to the staff.

Hu Jiuli took him away, and Xie Xiaobao was still listless when he got home. It was useless for Hu Jiuli to comfort him, so he had to let him be quiet for a while.
