Chapter 162: End of the World - Zombie Era (1)
Lin Shiheng lay on the sofa, narrowing his eyes slightly and looking at the TV in front of him, which was playing the most popular romantic drama about you love me, I love him, but he loves you.
To be honest, the plot was quite ridiculous, but he watched it with great interest. From time to time, he slightly raised his head in enjoyment, signaling to the girl sitting on the sofa next to him that it was time to comb her hair.
The girl holding a pet comb and combing his hair seriously was on the phone.
"Sister Yun, is Hengheng really timid? I think he adapted very quickly. He is not afraid of me at all and even let me comb his hair."
"Huh?"
Because the phone was on speakerphone, Lin Shiheng could clearly hear the surprised voice of the woman on the other end: "No way? Hengheng is very timid. I have had him for several months, and every time he comes home from work, he still Just hide under the bed for a while. You just took it back, so it should be more afraid of you. "
Ji Jiaqi looked down at the cat lying on the sofa in confusion.
Its body looks relatively broad due to its long fur. Under the maple leaf mask is a pair of bright blue eyes, which are slightly narrowed and looking at the TV, intently watching.
It didn't look like he had just arrived in a strange environment, but rather like he was in his own territory.
On the hands-free mobile phone, Sister Yun was still chattering: "Although Hengheng is timid, he is very kind. He is just afraid of loud noises. You open a can and feed it. It likes canned food best. It will definitely eat it." I will act coquettishly with you.”
"Remember, you must not give it raw water to drink. It will develop parasites. Boil the water until it is cool and boil it before giving it a drink. Do not let it eat human food. Cats cannot eat salt. Doors and windows must also be closed. Close it properly. Cats like chasing flying insects. If you don’t care about it, they may jump off the building after the insects.”
These Ji Jiaqi also did some information before going to pick up the cat, but now...
It was summer, when there were the most flying insects. While the two were talking on the phone, a seven-star ladybug flew directly in front of the Haishuang puppet.
She could say with absolute certainty that the puppet had definitely seen the bug.
For cats who get extremely excited when they see moving objects, bugs are definitely their favorite thing. Logically speaking, at this time, they should pounce on them immediately or lower their ears and swing their tails to ambush...
The ragdoll cat with a pair of clear blue eyes lowered his head and glanced at the little bug in front of him. He moved his body away from the bug with great disdain, and then turned his attention to the TV in front of him.
Ji Jiaqi: "..."
Sister Yun on the phone was still chattering: "Hey, Hengheng is really very sensitive and timid. If I play the song louder, it will scare him so much that he won't dare to leave the room for a long time. But it's true that he loves to act coquettishly. You can do whatever you want." Wherever you put your hands on it, it will purr and act like a baby with you. It is so well-behaved. If it weren’t for you, I would have brought it with me.”
"By the way, the batch of cans I bought for Hengheng last time has arrived. Remember to collect them. The doctor is here. Let's not talk about it for now. Bye."
Sister Yun hung up the phone, and Ji Jiaqi thought about what she just said, stretched out his hand, and carefully touched the head of the beautiful puppet.
There was no purring, no coquettishness, not even hiding or meowing. The blue-eyed puppet just turned its head calmly, glanced at Ji Jiaqi, and then turned back to watching TV indifferently.
Although he was just glanced at by a cat, Ji Jiaqi felt as if he was being watched by a majestic emperor sitting on the throne.
She subconsciously retracted her hand, feeling more and more that what Sister Yun said was unreliable.
Ji Jiaqi and Sister Yun work in the same company, and they usually chat very well, because Sister Yun is a cat fanatic, and Ji Jiaqi, her boss, also has a yearning for raising a cat. Just when she realizes that she has saved money and has a stable job. , when she could afford a little cutie, she immediately happily told Sister Yun that she planned to raise a cat.
After Sister Yun congratulated her, she started to help her choose a cattery with great interest. However, before the results of the cattery were selected, Sister Yun found out that the disease was very difficult to treat. Either surgery, and most of the time she would die, or not. Surgery is 100% fatal.
She finally decided to go abroad for surgery. Sister Yun was an orphan and had no lover. She had a lot of friends. However, Ji Jiaqi was the only one who was patient, careful and liked cats. In the end, she entrusted the cat to Ji Jiaqi and agreed. If she cures the disease, Ji Jiaqi will return the cat to her, and she will pay the foster care price on the market. If she dies, Hengheng will be Ji Jiaqi's cat from now on.
Today is the day that Sister Yun undergoes surgery. Because Ji Jiaqi was sent out on a business trip, the Ragdoll cat was temporarily fostered at a friend's house. It was only today that she hurried back to pick it up.
Not only to pick up the cat, but also to wait for news from abroad. Because Sister Yun has no relatives, she only hired a nanny to take care of her. If the operation is successful, she will call her personally. If the operation fails, the nanny will call her. Ji Jiaqi.
Ever since Ji Jiaqi entered the company, perhaps because they were both orphans, Sister Yun, who is older than her, has been taking good care of her. In her heart, she is no different from her own sister. Now she is waiting for the news, obviously I was in so much pain that I had to put on a smile and call Sister Yun.
Throughout the afternoon, Ji Jiaqi absentmindedly combed the puppet's fur. The beautiful and majestic puppet, perhaps too lazy to pay attention to her, always maintained its original peasant posture and squinted its eyes while watching TV.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Ji Jiaqi, who was sitting stiffly on the sofa, received a call.
"Ms. Ji, the operation failed."
For a moment, Ji Jiaqi almost thought that he was too tired and fell asleep and had a nightmare.
****
Lin Shiheng was watching TV. Cat's vision is naturally different from human vision, but he cheated. Although his vision was good, it was still within the scope of human beings.
His hearing is many times more sensitive than when he was a human being. For example, now that he is lying on the sofa in the living room, he can still hear Ji Jiaqi crying under the quilt in the room.
Maybe it was because he was too tired from crying for half an hour before, but now Ji Jiaqi's crying has turned into soft sobs.
The ragdoll cat lying on the sofa twitched its ears and guessed from the laughter of two female voices coming from the other side of the room that she was crying while watching the video.
The deceased has passed away, and the living can only relieve their grief by recalling the good times.
Lin Shiheng moved his beard, slightly narrowed his round blue eyes, and looked out the window.
At this moment, tiny green ash invisible to the naked eye is floating in the clear sky.
For the girl who was very frail in her memory, perhaps dying early would not be such a bad thing for her.
Ji Jiaqi cried until three o'clock in the morning when she finally lost the strength to cry. She originally wanted to fall asleep, but she suddenly got up before going to sleep.
She is not alone now, there is Hengheng who wants her to take care of her!
So Ji Jiaqi, who was already lying flat on the bed, got up again and planned to go to the living room to hold the cat and sleep together.
Although it was not as timid as Sister Yun said, Ji Jiaqi decided to follow Sister Yun's instructions and sleep with it every night to prevent it from being lonely.
Ji Jiaqi, whose eyes were so swollen that they were almost invisible, easily picked up the puffy ragdoll cat.
As if remembering the days when Sister Yun showed off her cat, she choked and sobbed, and whispered to Lin Shiheng in a crying voice: "Don't be afraid, even though mom is gone, there is still auntie."
"Auntie will definitely take good care of you. I will take leave next week to take you for sterilization."
Neutering is something that Sister Yun has emphasized several times. After all, if male cats are not neutered, they will howl in the middle of the night, urinate everywhere, and may jump off the building due to the sound of wild cats outside the window. Hengheng had not done it before when he was young. It's almost done now.
Lying quietly in the arms of the shit shovel officer, Lin Shiheng said expressionlessly: "..."
He was not worried that his balls would be cut off. After all, judging from the current decrease in green dust in the air, the pet hospital would no longer be able to open its doors until next week.
That night, Ji Jiaqi had been having nightmares. The ragdoll cat *Heng, who was supposed to be kept by others, was lying next to her pillow. When she closed her eyes and cried, she stretched out her fluffy and tender pink pads, Gently pat Ji Jiaqi's head.
After a few shots, the girl who was crying in her dream became quiet.
After a while, she frowned and sobbed softly, and Heng Wenyou Guo* Ragdoll Heng stretched out her pink pad to pat her again.
Until dawn in the morning, Ji Jiaqi's alarm clock rang. She yawned and sat up. Although her eyes were swollen, her energy was not as sluggish as she had imagined.
It's strange. She usually has nightmares at night when she's sad, and lacks energy all day the next day, but today she feels quite energetic.
Thinking of the bad news she received last night, Ji Jiaqi's mood dropped again. She got up to wash up, but in the blink of an eye she saw the beautiful Haishuang puppet lying on the edge of the pillow, sleeping soundly with her eyes closed.
Even though he was still depressed, seeing such a cute little girl when he woke up still made Ji Jiaqi's eyes soften.
She stretched out her hand and gently touched the hair twice, which seemed smoother and softer than silk.
Sure enough, it’s a cat, it just likes to sleep in.
After washing up and checking that the windows at home were tightly closed and that cat food and cold drinks were available, Ji Jiaqi put on his bag and went out.
No matter how uncomfortable she was, she still had to endure it and continue working. According to Sister Yun's last wish, she wanted to be cremated and buried abroad. She also wanted to go to worship abroad, so she had to work hard to save for vacation.
Ji Jiaqi went out and made sure that the door was locked and the cat inside couldn't open it, then he entered the elevator with a tired look.
It would be nice if I could stop working for a day.

In a small county town very far away from her, a man who had been sick with a fever for several days suddenly opened his eyes and bit his wife who was sleeping next to him mercilessly.
The screams resounded throughout the county.
