Facts have proved that Qi Jin's hunch was right.

When I went to the clinic, there were already several people queuing in the waiting room, and the business seemed to be doing well.

Probably because of the cold and rainy weather these days, the number of sick animals has increased.Today is Friday again, and many owners took advantage of the opportunity to get off work early. Qi Yu estimated that she would have to wait for a while.

He used his right hand to hold Xiaoguiqi, and the umbrella couldn't hold it well. He got wet in many places along the way, and his hair was wet and dripping continuously.Besides, there was a thick plaster tube on his left arm, and his appearance was not much better than the kitten in his arms.Patients and cats are all available, and when they walked in the door, they received a lot of strange eyes.

The other owners all brought cages and boxes, but he was the only one who came with a small return date wrapped in a blanket, which was a bit shabby.

Qi Jin hurriedly put away the umbrella and let Xiao Guiqi lie on his lap. A lady who looked like a front desk assistant came over and asked him to pay the registration fee of 15 yuan first, to register, and to have an inspection later.

He paid the money, and the assistant lady left without looking back.

He came late, and the more comfortable seats were taken by others, leaving only the one closest to the clinic gate.During the waiting period, there were many people coming and going at the door, the glass door opened wide for a while, and the cold wind in late autumn blew in, blowing his wet clothes against his flesh, and he felt the coldness penetrating to the bones.

"Ah!" I couldn't help but sneezed.

Xiao Guiqi was lying on his lap in a daze, at this moment he raised his head and stretched out his paws, as if he wanted to touch him.

Qi Jin couldn't help smiling, and lightly pressed her fingers against the center of its meat pad, playing with it to relieve boredom.

"You infected me, and look, I'm sneezing just like you."

"Meow..." Xiao Guiqi narrowed his eyes resentfully, turned his body and rubbed his head on his lower abdomen for a while, as if he was really confessing his sins.

After waiting for nearly an hour, it was their turn to see a doctor.

The doctor in the clinic asked a few questions about the cat's basic situation, but Qi Chen gave a vague answer, especially knowing nothing about its age and medical history.The doctor was surprised: "Isn't this your cat?"

"Not really, it's a stray cat I picked up two days ago." Qi Yu told the truth.He looked like the kind of person who had never raised a cat.

"Oh..." The doctor raised his eyebrows meaningfully, looked at his messy appearance, and reported the inspection items without changing his expression, "Listen to what you just said, this cat needs to do several inspections. Prior inspection Blood, let’s see if there is feline plague, it’s best to test it with peritonitis, and stay in the hospital for observation tonight. What do you think?”

Qi Jin digested the doctor's words in a daze, but couldn't understand the relevant terms at all.

When he was doing special reports on cat abuse incidents, all he came into contact with were externally traumatized cats, and the follow-up to adoption was his focus. He omitted a lot of medical vocabulary in the manuscript, and did not specifically learn it.That part...was always written by the doctor himself, he just took it as an afterthought.

There was another doctor in my mind, and my thoughts seemed to stop for a moment.He frowned and shook his head, pulling away in time.

——It is important to save lives now.

"Okay, just do as you say."

"Then pay [-] today first." The doctor called the front desk assistant over to keep the bill.

"Six hundred?" Qi Yu was taken aback when he heard the words. He didn't expect that the fees for seeing a doctor for pets are so expensive now.I went out in a hurry, didn't bring my card, and didn't have enough cash on me, so I had no choice but to explain, "Sorry, I don't have enough money on me, can I check for the kitten first? I'll go home and get some at this moment."

The assistant lady spoke at this time: "We have to pay for the inspection here, you go home to get the money first, and then start to do it when you come back."

Qi Chen was speechless for a moment, then said calmly: "Well, I only have two hundred yuan on me right now. You can do what you can do first, and I will pay the rest when I come back."

The doctor gave him an appreciative look, as if admiring his generosity for a stray cat.

So two little girls who looked like nurses came over, took Xiao Guiqi away from his arms, brought him into the room for blood tests, and used test strips to test for feline plague.

Qi Jin hurried home, brought both cash and cards, and was not in the mood for dinner, so she went straight back to the clinic.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Guiqi wrapped up in the blanket and placed in a corner directly outside the door of the laboratory.

Seeing that there seemed to be anger in his eyes, the nurse explained that because he didn't bring a cage, they didn't know the situation of the stray cat, and they didn't dare to put it with other cats, so they temporarily put it in the corner.

Qi Jin endured it, without saying a word, and went to pick up Xiao Guiqi by herself.

There was a blood draw on Xiaoguiqi's neck. At this time, there was a smell of alcohol and fishy smell. His fur was curled up here and there, and he shivered in his arms.

During the half hour he left, it seemed to have suffered a lot.

"The blood test results came out. The cat's white blood cell count is very low, and the test paper is also positive. The preliminary judgment is feline plague. To be on the safe side, I will do a peritonitis test and be hospitalized tonight." The doctor gave him a stack of test reports. Look, it was retracted within 2 minutes, and he was sure he couldn't understand it.

Qi Zhen really couldn't understand the dense data, but according to the doctor's description, the fatality rate of peritonitis is as high as 90.00%.

In his life, he couldn't bear to watch the little life die.

Anyway, the money has already been paid, and the doctor can do any inspections at will, and stay in the clinic for observation for one night.

The little returnee was placed on a steel bed with a disposable diaper under it, and the nurse was going to give it a drip.

The little guy seemed to have a great sense of fear of needles, struggling desperately, his two sharp claws hooked Qi Jin's fingers tightly, and screamed.In order for it to recover, Qi Jin could only ignore it ruthlessly, watching with a frown as several nurses surrounded it and held it down, and the indwelling needle finally went in.

After wrapping the needle with gauze, Xiao Guiqi gave up resistance and curled up wearily.

I don't know if it's because the symptoms are getting worse, and the eyes are full of water.

Thinking of it having to spend tonight alone in the ward surrounded by strangers, Qi Jin felt more and more unbearable when the scene in front of her suddenly overlapped with the scene she was in the hospital at that time.

He begged the nurse to give him a bench.

At least for now, he can temporarily accompany the little returnee by the bedside, gently rubbing the fluff at the base of its ears to soothe its fear.It wasn't until the little guy fell asleep that he got up and left.

Back home again, it was completely dark and the temperature was lower than during the day.

After he got wet from the rain, he didn't change his clothes because he was in a hurry. During the three or four hours of taking care of Xiaogui, he was wearing a wet clothes next to his body and just air-dried.Now that the temperature in the room has warmed up slightly, I feel a chill spreading over my limbs, and I can't help but start to shiver.

"Ah!" Another sneeze.

During the small return period, not only the sneeze was transmitted to him, but now even the symptoms of fever are carried out by both cats and cats at the same time.

There was a dull pain on both sides of the forehead, which was a sign of a bad cold that Qi Yu was very familiar with.He hasn't eaten dinner yet, but he has no appetite at all, his stomach is so empty that it hurts, so he ran to the kitchen and drank a glass of water to finish the job.

After entering the room, he was still not in a hurry to change clothes. He turned on the computer first and logged in to QQ.

It's already this time, I must be late...

Sure enough, Yan Beixiang's profile picture quietly hung on the online list as expected.He left two messages at six o'clock and seven o'clock respectively, both of which were a very simple "are you there" - of course not, at that time he was still in the clinic with Xiaogui.

Qi Jin managed to pull himself together, and hurriedly put on the earphones.

"Hello?" After the connection was connected, he tried to call out, with a strong nasal voice, "I'm sorry, I was delayed by something today."

"It's okay. Are you having a cold?" Yan Beixiang sensitively sensed that something was wrong with him.

"It's okay, it's just a little uncomfortable." More than a little uncomfortable, the whole body is wet and uncomfortable, and if you keep wrapping like this, you will definitely have a high fever.

It would be over if the big and small return date fell ill together.

In order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, Qi Yu pulled the corners of his mouth and gave a wry smile: "Master Yan Beixiang, can you wait for me? I'll come after I go to change clothes. I was drenched in the rain today. It's been a few hours and there is no free time." Change it. But I have a plaster cast on my hand, and I can’t move very quickly. You have to give me at least 10 minutes..."

The other party was stunned.

"Don't say anything, you go to work first. Also, don't just change clothes, take a hot bath and take a quick bath together to suppress the cold." Yan Beixiang's tone was very serious, and he spoke quickly.

Qi Jin hurriedly smiled and said, "But, it takes longer to take a shower, I'm afraid you—"

The man stopped him from continuing, and made a three-word promise: "I'll wait for you."

Since Yan Beixiang insisted so much, Qi Luo had no choice but to temporarily interrupt the call, and went to the bathroom to take off the wet clothes from her body, wrapped the plaster in a plastic bag, and took a hot shower.

He raised his head, and the scalding water poured on his face, he couldn't help but feel a deep shock.Sure enough, the cold air dissipated a lot.

He needs to spend 10 to [-] minutes to do the two tricky tasks of changing clothes and taking a shower every day. Moreover, his condition is worse than usual today. By the time he comes out with clean clothes, an hour has passed.

However, it does feel a lot more comfortable.

Qi Jin recovered a little strength and sent out the voice application again.

"Thank you for waiting for me." He smiled gratefully, hoping to convey it through the bright texture in his voice.

"Are you okay?" The man repeated the first words after their reunion.

"I..." The memories of today flashed before my eyes, and the haggard look of the young returnee was vividly visible. Qi Wei suddenly felt a lump in his throat, and answered honestly like a ghost, "It's not very good."

Perhaps because of his illness, his true emotions can be easily shown.

After a long time, Yan Beixiang sighed softly at the other end of the network cable: "You are injured, why did you go out to get wet in the rain?"

Qi Jin sighed and smiled: "Do you still remember the kitten I picked up that day? It got sick for some reason, it was hot all over, and it looked scary. I was afraid that it might be seriously ill, so I went out and took it to see it." The doctor has gone."

Hearing this, Yan Beixiang suddenly said in a daze: "Then why didn't I see—"

The sound suddenly stopped.

After just a few seconds, his tone seemed to be less stunned, and he sank: "... I, I didn't see you online... So it's because of this."

There is no logical question and answer at all.

Qi Jin heard it strange, smiled and said, "Yes, I have been staying in the clinic before."

Yan Beixiang repeated mechanically: "...clinic."

"Well, it's near my house, and it's not too far to walk for 15 minutes." Qi Yu explained why she got wet from the rain, "But because my uninjured hand had to hold the kitten, I couldn't hold the umbrella properly. Coupled with the wind blowing, a large piece of my body was wet—ah, fortunately, the plaster tube was not wet, otherwise it would be troublesome."

Having said that, Qi Yu smiled gratifiedly.

No matter how tough the situation is, he can always find a detail or two to cheer about.This optimism must be there.

Yan Beixiang listened silently, and only asked after he finished speaking, "What did the doctor say?"

"What the doctor said, I actually don't quite understand." Qi Jin recalled the conversation at that time, and briefly summarized, "It is said that there are very few white blood cells, and it may have cat plague... and also said to do other tests. At present, the little guy is staying in the hospital. The clinic is on a drip, and I'll go check on the situation tomorrow."

"Do you know how old the kitten is?" Yan Beixiang asked again.

"I don't know... it just looks very small." Xiao Guiqi looked at it as a kitten, and it was still stumbling and crawling when walking.

"Did it eat or vomit today?" Yan Beixiang asked again in a deep voice.

"The kitten ate, but I didn't see it vomit. I feel that eating is the same as yesterday, but I am not energetic." I was asked the same question in the clinic today, so I answered fluently.

The other party remained silent for a short while, as if hesitating whether to continue, whether to speak.

In the end, he still couldn't keep silent: "This doesn't sound like cat plague. But...it's hard to judge just by hearing it."

Hearing this, Qi Jin smiled and teased him subconsciously: "Hehe, your tone sounds like a doctor—"

Yan Beixiang's breath suddenly froze.

There was no words in the earphones for a while.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

At this time, Qi Yu suddenly had a sore throat and couldn't help but began to cough violently.

Too bad, I didn't feel it when I came back, but now I feel a burning pain deep in my throat when I cough, the coughing sound is muddy, and the signs of a cold are becoming more and more obvious.

It seems that I can't escape this disaster.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough... Ah, sorry, I'll get up and drink some water... cough cough." Qi Yan coughed so hard that her eyebrows were tightly knit together, she had to ask for a pause politely, and was going to go to the living room again. Fill a glass of water.

He put his hand on the burning part of his throat, held it down for a while, and then reached for the glass he had placed on the other side of the table.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, his eyes suddenly darkened, and the world spun suddenly, and he almost fell to the ground.

In desperation, his right hand slammed onto the table.

The computer desk was hit hard by him, and he couldn't help shaking it from side to side. The glass fell to the solid wood floor with a "slap", and it was smashed to pieces in an instant.Countless fragments were reflected palely under the incandescent lamp.

By the way...I haven't eaten tonight yet.It seems that I got up too fast, and the blood sugar was too low, causing dizziness.

As long as you don't break the hand you took back, it's fine.

After Qi Min calmed down, she slowly raised her body, her buzzing mind gradually came to her senses, and finally heard the anxious cry of that person coming from the earphones on the table.

Because he wasn't wearing it, he couldn't hear what he was shouting.However, it sounds...a bit like my real name.

"Oops, I'm so sick that I've even had auditory hallucinations." Qi Yun just hit him hard, grinning in pain, gasping for breath, and smiled reluctantly.

How could Yan Beixiang know his real name?Must be an illusion.

Probably because I heard the movement here and didn't know what happened, so I was anxious?

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Qi Jin stood firm, grabbed the earphones and shouted into the microphone, "When I got up just now, my head was a little dizzy, I hit the table and dropped the glass, but I'm fine."

The ear is pressed against the side of the earphone, and from this angle, only the rapid panting of the person can be heard, which has not stopped for a long time.

After being frightened this time, even the sound of coughing was suppressed. At this time, she was not in a hurry to find water to drink, and was unable to clean up the broken glass, so she simply put on her earphones again: "What did you just shout? The earphones were placed on the table at that time. Come on, I didn't hear you clearly."

Yan Beixiang didn't speak.

I probably really frightened him.I only heard him gasping in a low voice, but there was no answer for a long time.

Feeling guilty, Qi Zhen sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry to make you worry. I really have nothing to do, but I didn't eat when I came back from the clinic at night, so I went online directly. At this moment, my blood sugar is low, and my eyes are white. Just dizzy."

no answer.

Qi Yan had no choice but to continue to find words to comfort her: "Ah, but... I ate a lot at noon today, and the menu was prepared according to the email you sent me. It should be regarded as a lot of nutrition."

no answer.

Keep up the good work, this time with a slightly embarrassing smile: "Since I was hospitalized, I have always bought boxed lunches outside, and I have eaten a few meals outside when I got home. I know that it is greasy and not nutritious. Look, haven't I started to improve the food?" ? From now on, I will start my own business, try to eat light food, and take care of my wounds."

Still no answer.

For a while, Qi Min didn't know how to continue, so she acted dumb.

At this moment, Yan Beixiang said in a hoarse voice: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask, what about your family? Why is there no one around you to help?"

Whether it's cooking, sickness, or taking care of cats.

no one to help--

Touched by these words, which had been buried for a long time, Qi Jin blinked in bewilderment, feeling a flash of sharp pain.

His eyes were fixed on the shattered glass on the ground, and finally, he smiled wryly.

"No," he said. "I don't have a family. They don't want me when I come out. I live alone."

It came out naturally.

Many people in the circle are of the same kind, and even if they are not, the acceptance is very high.So he can confess.

The scar is an old scar, but it still hurts when it is opened.

He heard his nasal voice become heavier at the end of this sentence, and he had to take a deep breath, trying to suppress the tremor in his voice.

Finally, he smiled weakly: "I'm sorry to let you know about my scandal."

"Return date."

Yan Beixiang called him suddenly.

He stopped blankly, quietly waiting for the next sentence.However, Yan Beixiang didn't want to respond to him, but said something that sounded completely irrelevant.

"Would it be strange if I went to visit the sick?"

Same words as yesterday.

It's just that the questioning tone disappeared, as if stating something that had already been decided.

Qi Zhen came back to his senses, thinking that this was a verbal comforting habit of his, so she smiled slightly and said, "Why, do you really want to airdrop over here?"

Yan Beixiang was silent for a short time this time.

Also, the voice is calm.

"I'm here, in the same city as you."
