Until the car stopped, Qi Guo didn't guess where Tao He would take her.After breaking away from the strange relationship before, he found that he actually didn't know much about Tao He.

They got out of the car one after the other.As a single dog, Xiao Liu was left alone in the car, and he repeatedly told him worriedly: "Brother Tao, even if this place is in the suburbs, don't take off your sunglasses."

Tao He thought he was an eyesore, so he nodded perfunctorily, turned around and smiled at Qi Guo beside him.

"You haven't been to this place, have you?"

He stretched out his finger, signaling Qi Guo to look ahead.It was a three-storey old building, the color of the outer wall was a bit dim, not as eye-catching as those buildings in the city center, only the sign hanging downstairs was still a bit conspicuous.

"Stray Animal Adoption Center...Adoption Center?" Qi Guo read out the huge square characters on the sign, and turned to look at Tao He in surprise.He had never been to a place like this.

Tao He couldn't help but take his hand and walked forward.

The two walked in through the door together.This adoption center looks a little rough from the outside, but it is very different when you walk in.There is only a simple coffee table in the lobby, and there are two staff members at the front desk who are looking at the computer. At first glance, there is nothing special, but as long as you turn your head, you can see that the wall next to it is plastered from top to bottom. took a photo.

All pictures of animals.As soon as Qi Guo's eyes lit up, he went directly to the photo wall and looked carefully.

When standing far away, she couldn't see clearly, but when she got closer, Qi Guo realized that the photos on the wall were almost displayed in groups of two.The group of photos in front of him had the same protagonist, a three-coloured cat.It's just the one on the left with a terrified expression, dirty and huddled up, with several bald spots on its body, revealing its nude skin, making it look very pitiful.

And the one on the right looks much better, squinting cat eyes and lying lazily in someone's arm, the fluff is smooth and fat, and the cute posture is just like those cat movies that Qi Guo often watches .If it weren't for the fact that the cats in the two photos had a black hair on the left side of their face, Qi Guo probably wouldn't be able to recognize that they were the same cat.

There are also two small notes under the photo, which are "before adoption" and "after adoption".

The entire wall is full of comparisons like this, and cats and dogs make up the majority of them.It is not difficult to guess from the photos before adoption what kind of life they lived before they were sent to the adoption center. Some of the poor animals were disabled for various reasons, or even abused.

Qi Guo frowned more and more.All the small animals he had seen before were all beautifully dressed and kept in cages waiting to be picked out by their owners, or they were carefully raised in their owners' homes, but he had never seen such animals so directly. Such poor animals who stray and even suffer abuse.The more he looked at it, the angrier he became, but he still carefully read all the photos on the entire wall.

When Qi Guo was looking at the photo, Tao He also stood beside him and watched his expression. Seeing Qi Guo, who had never shown much emotion, showing faint anger, Tao He's heart tightened.

He must have been angry at what had happened to the animals.

It was not difficult for Tao He to guess Qi Guo's mood at this time. He really wanted to pull him over to comfort him, but he didn't want to disturb him, so he just stood by silently.He brought Qi Guo here today to please him by adopting an animal, not to make him sulk here.Although it is asking for trouble to bring another "rival in love" home - Tao He can foresee himself competing with pets in the future - but in order to pursue his sweetheart, in order to see his smiling face, this "bitterness" counts Nothing.

Tao He stared at the slender and tall figure, fascinated for a moment.

The two of them didn't make a sound when they entered the door. The two staff members at the front desk had been burying their heads in arranging the documents, but when they suddenly looked up, they found two big men standing in the hall, and they almost screamed out in fright.

One of the staff members with shoulder-length short hair hurriedly stood up and asked, "What's the matter, both of you?"

"Hello, I'm Xiao Liu who made an appointment before." Tao He turned around and answered very naturally.It's just that he wears a pair of sunglasses on his face, and he is very tall. No matter how he looks at it, there is something wrong, like some dangerous person.

The staff was a little suspicious, checked the phone number with him, and remembered that this number of people would come today, so he was relieved and muttered: "You don't talk when you enter the door. If you don't know, you think what you want to do." She glanced at Tao He's sunglasses again. "Mr. Liu said before that a friend wanted to raise him, so I brought him here today, right? Is that him?"

Qi Guo finished reading all the photos at this time, and when she heard the two of them talking, she walked over and nodded to the staff.His demeanor was there, his appearance was gentle and harmless, and the staff were not so wary of him.

"He is freelance, has a lot of time, is financially independent, has a good temper, and loves animals very much." Because the adoption center has the most basic qualification review, Tao He calmly boasted to the staff, wishing to give all All the good words are applied to Qi Guo. "It's just that I haven't found a suitable one, so I brought him here to have a look."

"All our animals have been vaccinated, so you don't have to worry about it. It's just that we will return visits regularly, can you accept this?" The staff was not polite, and explained the procedures clearly and completely.After seeing Tao He nod and made sure they understood, she led them upstairs to the asylum.

Before entering the house, he smelled a slightly strange smell.This place is only temporarily taken in, and the smell is naturally much worse than that of a pet store.Tao He frowned, and immediately went to see Qi Guo, afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.The man didn't mind, his face was unwavering.

The staff member led them to a door that was ajar and said, "This room is full of cats." Even if she didn't say so, they both heard meowing from inside.

"They've all been vaccinated." The staff led the two of them into the room. The room was full of cages, the number of which was astonishing, piled up from the ground to the ceiling.The outside of the cage is wrapped with fine barbed wire, and the cats inside the cage can only be vaguely identified through the fine mesh.There are three or four in a cage, and there are probably hundreds of them in the whole house.

"A lot." Tao He blurted out, this was probably the most cats he had ever seen in his life. "Where did they all come from?"

The staff have long been accustomed to this: "Almost all stray cats have never been sterilized, and they have one litter all their lives. After they are found, they will be handed over to us for processing. Almost all the stray cats in the city are here."

Most of the cats in the room are very healthy, meowing, but because of long-term wandering, the hair looks a little dirty.Because there are too many cats and their meows are too mixed, Qi Guo can hardly tell whether they bark because they hate him, are afraid of him, or because of something else.

In order to identify it more clearly, he crouched down so that his line of sight was just level with one of the cages.

There was only one cat in that cage, and its whole body was white except for a few round black hairs on its back, as if a few drops of black ink had been randomly sprinkled on rice paper.Its white fur looked gray, dry and thin, and it was lying sleepily in the corner of the cage.

Qi Guo saw that it squinted its eyes, not sure if it saw him or not, so it got closer, raised its hand and waved towards it. "Cat cat?"

Tao He, who had been paying attention to his movements, couldn't help but smile a little at this childish move. For a moment, he even thought that Qi Guo could overcome his "pet killer syndrome" like this and take a cat away happily. Take it home and raise it.

However, the next moment, a sharp scream sounded from the cage.The cat that was still lying down had stood up, raised its tail, and bared its teeth at Qi Guo with all its fur.

Why did the good cat suddenly go berserk? The staff immediately became suspicious of the two of them, and even thought that Qi Guo must have done something bad just now to scare the cat like that.She has worked here for several years and has never seen anything like this.Even if Tao He kept explaining to her later, she didn't believe it very much, and invited them out of the adoption center in a good voice.

How could it be like this?

Tao He was so dejected that he didn't dare to look at the faces of the people around him.He was very disappointed in himself, what he planned to do, but in the end he didn't make it at all.I don't know if Qi Guo is angry.He sneaked a few glances at Qi Guo to confirm that his expression was normal, and then raised his head.

"Feel sorry……"

After they came out of the adoption center, they didn't go back directly, but walked aimlessly side by side.Tao He didn't want today's date to become anticlimactic, so he racked his brains to think of a way, but in the end he could only choke out an apology.

"Why do you have to apologize?" Qi Guo didn't stop, "It's not Xiaohe's fault either."

"Because..." Because I want to make you happy.Tao He kept these words in his heart, but didn't say it out loud.

Qi Guo smiled, and said softly, "Thank you for bringing me here."

He knew why Tao He brought him here today, and also understood why he wanted to make himself happy.From childhood to adulthood, Qi Guo never felt that she lacked love.Everyone around him is very kind to him, even Qi Zhenchuan who has always been very indifferent.

Tao He treats him differently from anyone else.

Qi Zhenchuan and Qi Jing can buy him all the most rare animals in the world, but Tao He is the only one who will accompany him and try to find animals that may be close to him.

The young man in front of him was handsome and tall, like a sharp knife drawn out of its sheath when he was in full swing, he was very confident at all times, but he would only bow his head in front of him and feel nervous.

All of a sudden, Qi Guo realizes—that's what he said about liking.He likes himself so much.

Although Qi Guo showed that he didn't care, Tao He was still a little entangled: "Guoguo, I..." Without paying attention, he said the name that he had recited thousands of times in his heart.

Just now, he thought that this person really liked his Qi Guo, and when he heard him calling his nickname so intimately, he immediately coughed in embarrassment, his cheeks turned red.It's okay to say it in text form, but it's really a bit...too close to call it face to face.

Tao He saw that he was just a little shy, and didn't object. He immediately put all the entanglement behind him, and called again cheekily: "Guoguo."He called again.

Qi Guo: "...can you stop barking?" If it wasn't for the fact that he was still on the street, he really wanted to cover his face with his hands.It's too embarrassing for him to be called a nickname even after he has grown up so much.

"No, Guoguo has agreed." How could Tao He miss this opportunity, he saw that Qi Guo was just shy rather than resisting, so he felt that what he did today was somewhat effective, so he teased him and kept yelling With those two words.

The two were talking and laughing, but they didn't know which remote park they went to.From a distance, I saw several children around the swing, seeming to be doing something.

Because there was someone, who didn't intend to walk over, but Qi Guo suddenly saw with sharp eyes that the children were either holding stones or sticks they picked up from nowhere, poking something on the ground one after another.

"I want to go and have a look." He immediately remembered the photos he saw at the adoption center today, so he told Tao He, and the two walked over quickly.

When I got closer, there was a kitten the size of a water bottle lying limply on the ground. Those children were poking and playing, and they didn't know if they were dead or alive.

Tao He immediately shouted loudly: "Hey, what are you guys doing!"

As soon as those children saw people approaching, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts, dropped their things and ran away one after another.

Qi Guo hurriedly went forward and squatted down to check, and saw that the kitten's mouth and nose were already covered with dried blood, with its eyes closed, only the chest was showing signs of heaving and heaving, and it was extremely anxious.He didn't care about anything else this time, he just turned his head and said to Tao He:

"Let's go to the hospital quickly."

The author has something to say: share a little-known secret, everyone loves Mr. Qi, the cutest time is when he is still asleep.

【Get up early】

Tao He: Guoguo, Guoguo (takes out the phone)

Qi Guo: ... (can't open eyes)

Tao He: Look, your favorite cat (call out the picture and put it in front of people)

Qi Guo: ...Maomao (opens eyes)

Tao He: And your favorite Xiaohe (put your phone away and bring your face closer)

Qi Guo: Meow? (Wronged)

Tao He: (Who will save me, she is so cute that she is in a coma)

That's right, the world is about to end.The only difference is that my younger brother's life experience has not been explained & the daily routine of raising cats that everyone expects, so I will work hard these few days!
