"Boss Yuan."
"There is one more thing, Boss Yuan."
"It's about Rice. She has been examined just now. Rice has been pregnant for a month. There is a shadow in her belly. She should have one or two puppies."
The doctor called Rice twice. When he mentioned Rice, he saw Yuan Zhou had some reaction, so he continued.
"Um?" Yuan Zhou nodded habitually.
"Doctor, what did you say just now?" Yuan Zhou asked again hesitantly.
"Rice has a baby, maybe one or two puppies." The doctor repeated patiently.
"Good, good, good. Broth really didn't disgrace me. I got it." Yuan Zhou really heard it clearly this time.
Although he was muttering something, Yuan Zhou was still looking at the inside of the consulting room. His expression was still solemn, mixed with a hint of happiness and sadness. He just stood there.
Maybe it had been a long time, but it also seemed like it had not been long. Yuan Zhou finally had a little energy and planned to sort out the follow-up affairs.
"Doctor, please take care of them. I will come to pick them up when I am ready," Yuan Zhou said to the doctor.
In fact, since the time when Broth was sent to the hospital after the Spring Festival, Yuan Zhou had some idea in his heart. However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't accept it calmly when it really happened.
Actually, it was the skill of facial paralysis that he had practiced for many years that allowed him to sort out his emotions so quickly. Although Yuan Zhou didn't seem happy or sad, in fact, he really didn't know what was going on in his heart.
"Alright, you can go ahead with your work." The doctor nodded. Although she was used to seeing pets die as a pet doctor, she still didn't know how to comfort him.
Yuan Zhou didn't say anything more. He turned around and left the hospital quickly. Looking at his back, it seemed that he was running away.
When he could see the restaurant, he saw Wuhai squatting at the door and looking at the direction of the intersection. Seeing Yuan Zhou's figure, Wuhai rushed over with a "whoosh".
"How is it? What's wrong with my brother? What happened?" Wuhai asked a little anxiously.
Without waiting for Yuan Zhou's reply, he continued, "I heard that my sister-in-law seems to be very sad. Is she injured? Is Second Brother injured?"
"Second brother, sister-in-law?" Yuan Zhou looked at Wuhai in confusion.
"Yes, we became sworn brothers after Broth Addict fed me some beef jerky. I'm a few years older than him, so I'm the big brother and he's the second brother." Wuhai said, "What's wrong with my second brother?"
Obviously, it had heard the barking earlier. The Black Beast was very familiar with the sounds of rice and broth. It was a friendly exchange of food. Although Wuhai's Dog Language was slightly weaker than Yuan Zhou's, it was still at level ten.
Hearing Wuhai's words, Yuan Zhou felt inexplicably relieved. He said word by word, "Broth is gone. Rice is pregnant. It's okay."
"Oh, that's good. That's good." When Wuhai heard the last two words, he instantly relaxed and then immediately jumped up, "Did you just say that my second brother is gone?"
His voice rose uncontrollably. Wuhai, who was originally stroking his beard and planning to leave, froze on the spot. The expression on his face was inconceivable. He didn't even react when he pulled out a strand of beard.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded.
When Wuhai got the answer, the little hope in his heart was instantly gone. He suddenly became like a wilted cabbage. He took a look at Yuan Zhou again and found that Yuan Zhou was still expressionless. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Yin Ya is here." In the end, Wuhai said these four words and went back. For the first time, he didn't jump up and down, but walked very normally towards his home.
"Little Ya." Yuan Zhou was stunned.
It turned out that not long after Yuan Zhou left, Yin Ya came over. She originally came in advance to give Yuan Zhou a surprise, but it was obviously not important now.
After a while, Yuan Zhou walked to the door of the restaurant and saw Yin Ya standing by the door, looking at him with red eyes. Obviously, she had heard what he said just now.
"Blockhead." Yin Ya called.
"Little Ya, Broth is gone." Yuan Zhou repeated what he said just now.
"Blockhead." A drop of tears flowed down from Yin Ya's eyes. She took a few steps forward and hugged Yuan Zhou, hoping to give some strength to Yuan Zhou.
Yin Ya was very sad. Half of it was for Broth, and the other half was for Yuan Zhou.
Although Yuan Zhou kept saying that he didn't raise Broth and just fed it when there was something, Yin Ya knew that Yuan Zhou always cared about it.
The most obvious thing was that every time he went out, he would carefully prepare food for Broth. It had to be nutritious, long-lasting, and delicious.
This was also why Wuhai wanted to steal Broth's food every time.
There was no empathy in the world, so what Yin Ya could do now was to hug Yuan Zhou tightly.
Yuan Zhou hugged Yin Ya's warm body, feeling that his body that was cold just now finally had a trace of warmth.
After a long time, Yuan Zhou let go of Yin Ya and said, "Little Ya, did you go home? Are you tired?"
"No, I'm here with you." Yin Ya hooked Yuan Zhou's hand and said.
"I'll take the day off tonight." Yuan Zhou nodded and walked towards the restaurant.
He went to the second floor with Yin Ya and found a familiar piece of paper. Yuan Zhou took the pen and thought for a while before writing a line of words. Then, he came down with Yin Ya and pasted it on the door.
This was the first time Yuan Zhou pasted a note of leave in the afternoon. Even so, even if there were people around, no one asked. Those who asked were all stopped by Wuhai and then left silently.
The news of Broth's departure made many members of the Queuing Committee rush over. Obviously, many of them liked this Poodle that had become a spirit.
Then, accompanied by Yin Ya, Yuan Zhou chose a place for Broth. Then, he contacted the people there and planned to give Broth a separate tree burial. He hoped that Broth would have a good life in the future.
After personally handing Broth over to the person who came to pick it up, Yuan Zhou went home with the rice.
"Woo, woo, woo"
He put the rice in its previous nest. The rice looked better than before. The doctor had already given it medicine, but it was still crying in a low voice.
It even emptied the seat beside it and lay on its stomach.
"Rice, be good. You know that you have Rice Broth now. Broth has been looking forward to it. We have to take good care of it. By the way, if there are two dogs, what's the other one called? Noodles? Like dad's surname? "Yuan Zhou squatted in front of the rice and talked endlessly. He was different from his usual aloof manner.
Yin Ya just stood beside him silently. Accompanying him at this time was the best way she could think of.
The darkness of the night invaded the earth bit by bit. Although it was already the beginning of spring, there was still no moon in the night sky. Occasionally, there were some stars, but they weren't bright. The darkness was just like Yuan Zhou's mood.
He had already received the follow-up message from Broth. Looking at a green cypress sapling and the photo of Broth hanging on it, he sat by the stone table silently.
The door not far away was open. Rice was lying on the other side. It was still crying in a low voice. Its voice was slightly hoarse. It wasn't loud and didn't intend to disturb the neighbors.
It was supposed to be the end of the usual dinner time. Because of the leave today, The Kitchen God was extraordinarily quiet.
