Lovely Allergen - Chap 30
After sending the drawing out, Le Zhishi realized that his drawing was terrible. He regretted it a little and wanted to return it, but the result was obvious.
Song Yu didn’t even give him a chance to polish it.
However, Song Yu’s drawing was really beautiful. It had a neat and serious scientific beauty. Le Zhishi even wanted to frame it and hang it on his bed.
It had been a long time since he had a good night’s sleep. In his dream, he dreamt that he was feeding the kitten with Song Yu. He heard a familiar meow behind him. Le Zhishi turned around and saw an angry Ju Zi behind him. She was caught on the spot.
Meow —
What a nightmare.
It was finally the holidays, and he only had one day to rest. Le Zhishi was awakened by Tangerine early in the morning. Lin Rong called him down for breakfast. He carried Tangerine and went downstairs in a daze. Song Yu was already changing his shoes at the entrance. Le Zhishi was instantly awake. He shuffled his slippers over. “Brother, are you going out so early?”
Song Yu nodded and tied his shoelaces. “Yes, I have something to do.”
“Can I come along?”
Song Yu didn’t answer directly. He only said, “You stay at home to revise.”
Le Zhishi knew Song Yu’s words too well. He didn’t say no as long as he worked hard enough. “I want to go. Can you bring me along? I’ll be more efficient when I’m back. Really. ”
Le Zhishi’s voice sounded a little pitiful. Song Yu looked up and met his eyes for a while. Le Zhishi said pitifully, “Brother, please. I’ve already given you my drawing.”
Song Yu was at his wit’s end.
“I’ll give you ten minutes to change.”
“Okay!”
While waiting, Song Yu sat at the entrance and played with his phone. When he saw Xia Zhixu’s WeChat message, he replied.
Early in the morning, the temperature was just right and the air was fresh. There was no class and he could go out with Song Yu. Le Zhishi was in a very good mood. While waiting for the bus, Le Zhishi sat on a chair. Song Yu took out a pink lollipop from his pocket and handed it to him.
“You put it in my bag. It’s too sweet. Eat it yourself.”
He hadn’t even eaten the candy that she had secretly put in his bag.
Thinking about it, Song Yu hated sweets.
Le Zhishi took the candy and opened the packaging without much thought. Just as he stuffed the candy into his mouth, the bus arrived. He immediately followed Song Yu onto the bus. The bus drove very fast and Le Zhishi fell asleep very quickly. He leaned on Song Yu’s shoulder unsteadily until he was woken up by him. Le Zhishi, who was standing at the bus stop, stretched. The bus drove away and a beautiful and tall girl on the opposite side of the road waved at him. Le Zhishi slowly retracted his arm and looked at Song Yu beside him. He saw him nod at the girl.
What was going on?
It wasn’t easy for him to get a break. He ran out early in the morning and ended up meeting a beautiful girl. Le Zhishi felt that something was wrong. It didn’t match Song Yu’s usual behavior.
The traffic light turned green and Song Yu walked across the street. Le Zhishi was suddenly in a bad mood. He put his hands in his pockets and held the lollipop in his mouth as he followed behind him.
His brother had never met a girl in private.
The girl seemed to have a good personality and seemed to be a little older than them. She greeted Song Yu very warmly. “It’s too early, isn’t it? What a coincidence that I saw you as soon as I came over.” After that, she glanced at Le Zhishi and then at Song Yu. “This is your brother, right?”
Song Yu nodded. When he was called, Le Zhishi also politely greeted him and introduced himself.
“Hello, I’m Feng Yue.” She looked up at her watch. “The bus will be here soon.”
Where were they going? Le Zhishi paid special attention to what she was wearing. It was a very comfortable casual outfit with long sleeves, trousers, and flat sneakers.
Could it be somewhere like Happy Valley? Or an outdoor trip?
He recalled how Song Yu refused to take him there at the beginning.
Feng Yue’s phone suddenly rang. She apologized and walked a few steps to answer the call. “Yes, we’re at …”
Seeing that she had walked away, Le Zhishi touched Song Yu’s arm and stood very close to him. When Song Yu turned his head, he suddenly asked, “Are you going on a date with her?”
Only Le Zhishi would ask such a question so directly.
However, the moment he asked, Le Zhishi felt strange and his mood did not improve.
Song Yu raised his eyebrows. “Why would I bring you along if I’m going on a date?”
This sentence immediately woke Le Zhishi up.
That’s right.
Since he didn’t refuse to let him come along, he probably wasn’t going on a date with a girl. Besides, who would bring such a big third wheel on a date? Moreover, it was the kind of third wheel that could be easily tipped off to his parents.
If it was really a date, Le Zhishi might really tell on him because he was a little unhappy.
He was about to continue asking Song Yu the real purpose of this trip when Feng Yue walked back after finishing her call. Her so-called car arrived half a minute later. The car was very big, white, and spacious. They got into the car together. There were two young men in the car. The journey was smooth. Le Zhishi was curious about where they were going. He didn’t expect them to be so familiar with the road that they finally stopped at the side entrance of Peiya High School.
What were they doing at school?
There were a lot of people, so Le Zhishi didn’t say much. Song Yu got out of the car and went to talk to the security guard alone. He showed some documents and the approval of the school’s leaders before the security guard let him go.
After he returned, the car drove directly into the school. He drove from the side entrance of the family building to the back of the cafeteria and stopped by the old school building that was about to be demolished.
“Let’s get to work.” The young man in the hat got out of the car first and rolled up his sleeves. Le Zhishi was a little flustered. He thought of a video he had seen on the Internet. It was about killing stray animals. He didn’t think much and grabbed Song Yu’s arm. “What are they going to do? Are they going to kill all these cats? ”
“No.” Song Yu patted the back of his hand gently and said to the others, “I’ve already asked someone to sterilize them.”
Feng Yue put on her gloves. “Did you pay for it? You must have spent a lot of money. It’s not possible to sterilize so many cats at the same time. You must have spent a lot of time. ”
Another boy continued, “If they were all sterilized, it would have been fine.”
Song Yu shook his head and opened the iron gate with the key he got from the logistics department. “I’m about to graduate.”
“I see.” Feng Yue nodded and started to move with the others. “I hope things will go smoothly today.”
“Are you going to take them away?” Le Zhishi asked and walked forward. “I’ll help you too.”
Song Yu grabbed his wrist. “Don’t follow me.”
Obviously, Le Zhishi didn’t listen to him. “I have a good affinity with animals, really.” He gave a lot of reasons. Song Yu didn’t want to reject Le Zhishi in front of so many people. It would make him depressed, so he agreed. He found a pair of gloves for Le Zhishi and asked him to put them on.
Catching cats took a lot of effort and time. Fortunately, Song Yu was there. These cats were relatively familiar with him and cooperated with him a little. However, they didn’t expect Le Zhishi to be so accurate. He did have a natural affinity with animals. They didn’t know if it was out of curiosity, but some of the kittens unconsciously approached him. The other staff members started from behind and caught them quickly.
Le Zhishi was like a natural catmint, an excellent primer.
But whenever he wanted to touch or catch him, he would be stopped by Song Yu.
After about two hours, they moved all the stray cats into cages and put them in the car one by one. The cats that weren’t used to it were meowing. Song Yu gave them the food they were used to eating. Only then did they settle down a little.
There was a very small kitten in a big cage with another female cat. Le Zhishi squatted down to look at it. It stared at Le Zhishi softly.
“I counted a total of eight, and they are basically the same as what you described.” Feng Yue handed over a document. “Sign it, and we’ll take them back to give them a bath.”
Le Zhishi heard their conversation and found out that Feng Yue worked at the largest stray animal rescue center in the area. She was responsible for the transfer and adoption of stray animals. Song Yu had specially asked them to make the trip.
“Fortunately, we have you. This is the easiest rescue job in history. Previously, we were all scratched and covered in bloody marks. We were especially devastated.” Feng Yue looked back at the cats in the cages and smiled at Song Yu. “They listen to you. It seems that you spend a lot of time on them.”
“I didn’t do anything.” Song Yu glanced at the cats. After a moment of silence, he took out a small palm-sized book. “Their personalities and habits are written in here. Maybe it will be helpful for your follow-up work.”
The people at the rescue center expressed their gratitude to him again, but Song Yu denied that he had done anything. He also declined their offer to send the cats home. Le Zhishi stood at the side door of Peiya and watched the rescue car leave.
Watching the cats leave, Le Zhishi couldn’t help but observe Song Yu’s side profile.
He was indeed someone who couldn’t show his emotions.
He said that he didn’t do anything, but maybe he had been taking care of them since the first year of high school.
“Won’t you miss them?” Le Zhishi asked.
Song Yu lowered his head and opened the app to call for a car. “What’s there to miss? This is the best choice.”
The car stopped in front of them, and the two got in. Le Zhishi described to Song Yu how they fed the cats last night, but omitted the part where they were caught by Orange. Le Zhishi complained, “I haven’t fed them even once. I didn’t expect that my dream last night was a flag.”
“Feeding stray cats is just an act of kindness.” Song Yu’s words were cruel, but realistic. “If you just feed them and don’t do anything else, it may cause more damage to the surrounding ecology. For these cats, from birth to death, how many times can you feed them? ”
After that, he looked out of the car window. “It’s better to have a chance to have a home.”
Le Zhishi thought of what Song Yu said before. People have to be responsible for their own actions, even if it’s done out of kindness.
He began to understand why Song Yu would do these things quietly. Once people found out, it might spread. Plus, Song Yu had many suitors. Everyone might follow and feed the cats, and things would be more difficult to handle.
Le Zhishi knew that he wasn’t thoughtful enough, but he hoped more than anyone that Song Yu’s wish could come true.
“Those kittens can be adopted by kind people,” he said with a smile. He smiled and added innocently, even heartlessly, “Just like me, I can give my experience points and good luck to them.”
Song Yu didn’t like to hear him say such things. He even felt a little uncomfortable.
He glanced at Le Zhishi with some dissatisfaction, then frowned and looked forward. His tone was a little cold. “Your experience points have no reference value, and you don’t have much luck.”
“Who said that?” Le Zhishi was very dissatisfied. He felt that he was very lucky.
Song Yu continued, “They are waiting at the adoption center. They may not be selected. Even if they are selected, the adopter may not be the responsible family. This kind of waiting is very long and random. It really depends on luck. ”
These words sounded very sad, but Song Yu’s tone changed. “You are different.” With a very calm expression, he said something very absurd. “You suddenly fell.”
Le Zhishi frowned. “Am I a pie?”
Song Yu turned his face and looked at him. Le Zhishi saw the bright spots in his dark pupils and his own face.
“Apples can also fall on people.”
Song Yu used an obscure and old metaphor, and even tried to use a more well-known scientist’s story to cover this selfishness.
Le Zhishi said, “Oh.” His mind was full of the big wavy wig in Newton’s portrait, and he didn’t think too much about it.
No matter what Song Yu said, in his heart, he still took the initiative to give his good luck to those stray cats, hoping that each of them could have a stable future.
Back home, Lin Rong asked where they went. Song Yu said that it was the bookstore, and Le Zhishi naturally cooperated. But when he went out, he was wearing black clothes with a lot of cat hair stuck on it. It was very obvious.
“I’m so hot. I want to take a shower.” Le Zhishi finished speaking and ran upstairs.
Lin Rong showed off the things she bought for her son. She packed a whole hiking bag for him, and it was stuffed full. Those who didn’t know would think that she was participating in a collecting competition.
“Look, these are very useful. Oh yes, there are also some medicine. You have to bring it.”
“So much. Do I have to go explore?”
“Yu! How can you mock the great mother’s love? ”
“…”
Le Zhishi returned to his room. When he was changing his clothes, he touched his pocket and took out a crumpled candy wrapper. It was the lollipop package that Song Yu gave him in the morning.
Before throwing it away, Le Zhishi casually flipped it over and looked at it. He accidentally found something and frowned.
“Strawberry milk?”
Strange.
He bought it with raspberry milk flavor.
