Juliet Tower

Qiao Yumian supported this little guy with gray fur to stand up. It has friendly eyes, abundant hair, and doesn't look like it has any disease.

He raised his head and asked An Jiayu, "Where did you pick it up?"

"On Tuesday morning, I saw it at the gate of my community. It was packed in a box and there was a bag of grass."

An Jiayu reached out to touch the little guy, but was ruthlessly avoided. Totoro followed Qiao Yumian's arm and nimbly climbed onto his shoulder, squatting anxiously into a big fur ball.

"...Forget it, don't touch me..." An Jiayu retracted her hand and smiled, but she didn't seem angry.

"You, when you saw it, brought it here?" Qiao Yumian took the chinchilla off his shoulders, held it in his palm and weighed it on tiptoe, it was not small.

The other party nodded and took out his mobile phone: "You can't blame me, you can see for yourself, it's so pitiful, who can bear to ignore it..."

An Jiayu held up the phone screen and showed Qiao Yumian the photos.

In the center of the picture is this chinchilla. The little guy is standing in the box pitifully. A card with a handwritten sentence:

I'm Joe, I love apples, please take me home.

The handwriting is a little immature.

Tsk... Qiao Yumian frowned, this kid probably kept a pet behind his parents' backs, and then abandoned it after the Dong Chuang incident happened.

"It's so cute, and it's so coincidental. It's also called Qiao Ai. How can I bear to ignore it." An Jiayu turned around and went to the refrigerator to bring a plate of sliced ​​apples, picked a small piece and handed it to Totoro. The little guy happily After receiving it, she squatted in Qiao Yumian's palm and began to chew.

Indeed, it's so cute.

Qiao Yumian lifted it up slowly, and was taken aback by the cute chinchilla who was so close at hand.But being cute is one thing...

"No, your portion." Looking back, An Jiayu's fork had been raised to his mouth, with a thicker slice of apple stuck on the tip.

Qiao Yumian absent-mindedly opened her mouth to eat it, while thinking about what to do with this little thing: "If you like it, why don't you put it home?"

"I heard that chinchillas are playful and afraid of being lonely. If you don't accompany it, it will take poop and throw it away at you. At that time, there was no one at home, and I was in a hurry to come to school. I had no choice but to bring it here first." An Jiayu seemed not at all. Don't worry, instead, he raised his mobile phone to take a video with great interest.

Qiao Yumian blocked the camera and didn't want to be the background of eating and broadcasting: "Do you really want to raise it?"

The other party nodded: "It won't bark all the time like a dog, nor will it run around."

"Then have you bought fodder and a cage for it?" Qiao Yumian asked.

"Huh?" An Jiayu looked confused.

"These days... what did you feed it?"

"Apple, it's written on the sign that it loves apples."

……

Glancing at the two increasingly shriveled succulents, an ominous premonition crept into his heart, Qiao Yumian put the chinchilla back into the tight little cage, and as soon as he entered, the little guy huddled himself up and huddled himself in a corner, motionless Yeah, looks bad.

"An Jiayu...Although it's just a big mouse, you shouldn't bring it back just by relying on the heat for 3 minutes." Qiao Yumian knew that he had a big heart and no temper, but he was a small life anyway, at least "Do you know what it usually eats, what kind of environment it adapts to, what causes it to get sick, and what symptoms will it have? You don't even know whether it is male or female," The more he spoke, the more anxious he became, and his words were not very polite, "You can't even raise flowers. How could you raise animals? What if the housekeeper finds out? What if your family doesn't allow you to raise it? Throw it on the street and expect other kind-hearted people to pick it up?"

An Jiayu was stunned: "So, didn't I ask you to discuss it together..."

"Eldest young master, it's good if you can take good care of yourself, as soon as possible..." Qiao Yumian paused, and suddenly realized that what he said was becoming more and more mean, especially after feeling the other party's gradually depressed mood, he hurriedly braked, but it was too late, and the water was hard to stop .

He even heard a bit of Li Huijun's scolding from his tone.

The other party clenched his fists, opened his lips slightly, and was bitten hard by his white teeth, without saying anything.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that An Jiayu is a child who grew up surrounded by stars. He is favored by the heavens. He has acquired extraordinary talents, but what is commendable is that he is not arrogant because of his favor. Instead, he is innocent, kind and approachable.

Qiao Yumian had seen some students who had some privileges in a certain way, and relying on these privileges to walk sideways in the school, An Jiayu was very different from them.

This person who maybe even the teachers and parents are reluctant to scold him has been blamed for a long time by himself, why...

He couldn't help regretting it, and changed his words: "As soon as possible, take it to a chinchilla pet shop, at least confirm the gender... what to eat..."

"Hmm..." An Jiayu bent down and picked up the flute bag in the corner and handed it to him, her tone was a little stiff, "Don't forget to rehearse this afternoon."

During the rehearsal, Qiao Yumian was a little absent-minded, but An Jiayu was still enthusiastic, patient and meticulous, but occasionally when the two people's eyes met, the latter would avoid abnormally.

Sitting alone at the desk on weekends, Qiao Yumian regretted her outspokenness from time to time, and was amazed at An Jiayu's good temper without refuting a word.

Late at night when he was insomnia, he covered himself tightly under the quilt, and after making sure that the screen light would not come out from the gap in the quilt, he began to check the chinchilla breeding tutorial.

In addition to the staple food, chinchillas need to eat grass.You can use a small amount of apples and carrots as snacks, and you cannot eat other fresh fruits and vegetables with water content and nuts with a lot of oil.Just like a rabbit, you can’t bathe with water, you have to use bath sand to dry clean it...you need a bigger cage to keep you healthy...it needs to be out of the cage every day...

The quilt started to lack oxygen for a long time, and drowsiness emerged unexpectedly.

Qiao Yumian threw the phone aside, embraced the soft pillow, thought of the chinchilla who came and was at ease, and thought of An Jiayu who was calm to him at all times, until dawn.

Early on Monday morning, Qiao Yumian stole an apple and a carrot from the kitchen and put them in her schoolbag, then boldly skipped her morning self-study and went to the pet store.

The cage was too big to bring into the school. He spent four days' lunch expenses and picked up a 500-gram bag of alfalfa and timothy grass.

The dormitory building was very quiet during the lunch break. He lingered at the door for a long time, and finally chose to knock on the door, but no one answered for a long time.

He fumbled for the key in his pocket, and he really didn't have the cheek to enter the door on his own, so he had to go back to the classroom hungry.

After lingering until Wednesday, the skin of the apple in the belly of the desk began to shrink, so he had to wash it and eat it by himself.

Apples and carrots can satisfy his hunger, but he really can't digest the pasture, so he bought everything, so he had no choice but to go to the door with the key in his pocket.

There was still no answer to knocking on the door, Qiao Yumian thought about putting down his things and leaving, while unlocking the door.

The dormitory was tidier than any time he had been here before. There was a large bag of food against the wall, and the little gray mannequin used on the packaging was no better than Joe.On the ground next to the desk are several wooden boards waiting to be spliced, and a piece of paper is held down by a screwdriver and different types of nails. It looks like a new home for chinchillas, waiting for construction.

The original small cage was placed on the stool in front of the desk. The little guy raised his head from his sleep when he heard the movement, and began to grin his teeth and bite the locked cage door, as if complaining silently

Qiao Yumian stepped forward and opened the door, let it sit on his shoulders, opened the forage package, took out a piece of alfalfa and handed it over, and sent it to eat by itself, while he picked up a stack of information forms on the table, the first page was It's the result of the little guy's physical examination.

An Jiayu circled the gender in a big circle with a red pen, and wrote a sentence next to it: It really is the mother's!

The little guy is a silver-spotted long-haired chinchilla, which has just grown up and weighs 535 grams.

There is a line marked in the blank space below the weight: 20g forage for breakfast, 30g for staple food in the evening.Snacks two to three times a week, not too much.You can't give it if you are cute.

Qiao Yumian put the detailed "Creating Chinchilla from Scratch" back to its original place, poured water on the dry succulent with a cup, turned around to leave, but saw a question mark in the corner of the manual.

So he sat down on the ground, read carefully, and installed this luxurious pet cabinet bit by bit.

Step by step, tighten the upper, lower, left, right and back wooden boards. This cabinet is just as high as the desk.Totoro is lively by nature and likes to jump up and down. The highest level is a log cabin and swing, the second level is a wooden springboard and building block climbing bridge. After it is installed, Qiao Yumian fixed the food bowl and ball water bottle on the third level, and the lowest level is excretion district.

"It's so luxurious, your house." After ding ding ding bang, Qiao Yumian stretched out his hand and flicked the little furry head, "Do you want to come in and take a nap?"
