After Meng Li took the Cocker Spaniel away, Zhang Zian mourned for his graduate student for three minutes, said goodbye to Long Xian, left the clinic, and walked quickly back to the pet shop. On the way, he was a little confused. Sun Xiaomeng only went to open the door. Why wasn't she back yet? Even if she walked slowly, a round trip of half an hour was enough. He wouldn't believe it if she said that she played with Xinghai as she wished.
Several renovation workers were working on the first floor of the shop, but he didn't see Guo Dongyue. After asking a random person, he learned that Guo Dongyue had left after explaining the necessary things. They were working according to the drawings, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Zhang Zian pretended to know everything and stood there for a while. He felt that their work was very professional, and he couldn't find any flaws with his level. While Fina was not on the first floor, he took out a few bottles of Evian mineral water and gave them to the workers. He would buy drinks for them later.
On the second floor, he saw Xinghai sitting in the hallway with her head tilted, as if waiting for him to come back.
"I'm back. Xinghai, what are you doing?" he asked.
"Meow, hide-and-seek!" Xinghai answered.
"Hide-and-seek..." Zhang Zian was a little confused. Shouldn't hide-and-seek be played by "catching" and "hiding"? Why would she stand still? Xinghai had played hide-and-seek many times. Except when she faced the wall and counted, she never stood still.
Xinghai shook her head, raised a paw and pointed to the kitchen, "It's not Xinghai playing hide-and-seek, it's Richard playing hide-and-seek."
Richard?
Zhang Zian just remembered that Richard and the two red-headed lovebirds had stayed in the kitchen before he left, so he pushed open the kitchen door and saw Sun Xiaomeng standing in the kitchen, with a few seasoning bottles and a stainless steel soup pot on the countertop. He noticed that Sun Xiaomeng's expression was very complicated, as if she had just thought about some difficult questions, and most likely didn't get the answers she wanted.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Zian asked, "Playing house?"
"..." Sun Xiaomeng was speechless. When she was about to explain further, her cell phone rang.
"Hello?" She glanced at the caller ID and picked up.
"Sister Xiaomeng, when are you coming back? The patient who made the appointment is here, "Long Xian said on the other side of the phone.
Sun Xiaomeng pinched the space between her eyebrows as if she had a headache. She was so shocked that she forgot about the customer's appointment time.
"I'll be right back. Ask the customer to wait for a moment," she said quickly.
"Okay, I got it. I'll hang up now." Long Xian hung up the phone.
Although Sun Xiaomeng was very concerned about Richard, she was not a scientist after all. She was just a veterinarian. No matter how interested she was, she still had to do her job well.
"I borrowed the kitchen utensils, nothing else. I'll go back first. " She took a deep look at Richard, waved her hand and said, "Goodbye, Richard. I will come to see you again."
Richard gazed at her longingly. "Goodbye, Doctor."
Sun Xiaomeng was slightly stunned, but she didn't say anything. She walked out of the kitchen and saw Xinghai standing at the door of the bedroom, looking at her.
"Goodbye, Xinghai." She smiled and waved.
"Meow ~"
After Sun Xiaomeng left, Zhang Zian was stunned for a long time.
"Richard, why did you call her doctor?" he asked curiously. "Don't you always call her 'beauty'?"
Richard was silent. After a few seconds, it flapped its wings and shouted, "Quack! You idiot, she is a doctor, right? Don't you know that doctor in English means' doctor '? "
"Even so …" Zhang Zian still felt a little awkward, mainly because Richard's attitude before and after he left the house was like a different person … no, like a different bird.
Even though he was bad at English, he knew that the word "doctor" could mean both "doctor" and "doctor" — Richard liked to play the rhetorical game of "puns" the most.
But … he thought about it carefully. Maybe he was overthinking. Although he didn't know Sun Xiaomeng's specific educational background, she shouldn't be a doctor. A doctor would be about 30 years old after graduation, and Sun Xiaomeng was obviously not that old … Unless she was a genius who went to college as a teenager, but it didn't look like that … Besides, if she was a doctor, there were many ways to make money. There was no need for her to lower herself to open a pet clinic, right?
So, Richard had no reason to call Sun Xiaomeng "doctor".
Well, he must be overthinking it.
"What did she talk to you about?" Zhang Zian asked as he put the seasoning bottles back on the shelf.
"Quack! She seemed to have doubts about my ability and wanted to test me, "Richard said carelessly, returning to its usual self — at least on the surface.
"Oh, what did she test?" He put the stainless steel soup pot back in the cupboard.
"It seemed to be hide-and-seek? For me, it's not challenging at all! "Richard looked up," You idiot, you forgot to close the cupboard door! Be careful of the mice! "
Zhang Zian did forget to close the cupboard door, because when he heard the words "hide-and-seek," his mind was suddenly disturbed. So, those five seasoning bottles were used to play hide-and-seek? What kind of hide-and-seek could you play with seasoning bottles?
"Hey, you didn't act too ridiculously, did you?" He reminded him, "I told you before that if you acted too ridiculously, you might be caught and sliced by the men in black! Do you know what slicing means? Have you ever seen Beijing roast duck? "
"You idiot, don't worry too much. Just mind your own business," Richard said impatiently. It waved one of its wings to drive him out, "If there's nothing else, leave now. I have to hurry up and teach these two idiot birds how to speak!"
Zhang Zian had said what he needed to say, so he couldn't just tie its beak up all day.
He left the kitchen and heard Richard's rough voice behind him.
"Pan! Bowl! Pan! "
The voices of the two red-headed lovebirds also followed.
"Pass … Play … Touch …"
The pronunciation was inaccurate, and the tone was wrong. Richard still had a long way to go.
Xinghai was still squatting in the corridor, blinking its silver-gray eyes at him, as if it had never left.
Zhang Zian also squatted down and asked, "Xinghai, you said that Richard needed Sun Xiaomeng's help, right?"
Xinghai nodded, "Meow, yes."
"So, Sun Xiaomeng won't hurt it, right?" He asked the question that he really cared about.
No matter how amazing Xinghai, Fina, Old Time Tea, and the others were, others would still see them as animals, and they were relatively low-key or cold. Only Richard was like a time bomb, always showing off in front of others, and it was hard to tell when he would make trouble. He was worried that Richard would be too arrogant in front of Sun Xiaomeng, which would make her want to hand it over to the country … That would be troublesome.
Xinghai shook its head, "Don't worry, Zian. The doctor won't hurt it."
"So, is it a doctor or a doctor?" Zhang Zian knew that his question was inexplicable, but he thought that if it was Xinghai, it should be able to understand. He still couldn't get over the title of doctor.
"For Richard, it's a doctor or a doctor," Xinghai said confidently, "Zian, don't worry."
"I hope so." Zhang Zian trusted Xinghai.
