Chapter 55 p2
Chi Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
The corners of her lips trembled uncontrollably, and a sour numbness spread throughout her body. She immediately looked up toward the door.
The sound of paws pattering on the ground sounded, and soon, a beautiful and lively Golden Retriever appeared at the door.
Its large tail wagged into a blur, its two soft, furry ears flopped with its running, and its round, black eyes instantly locked onto the woman on the bed.
She ran straight for the hospital bed.
“Jiejie!”
“Can Can…”
The woman’s already hoarse voice was so choked with excessive emotion that it could hardly make a sound.
A pitiful whimper came from the Golden Retriever’s throat. She pushed off with her four legs and rushed to her Jiejie’s bedside at top speed, then slammed on the brakes.
Jiejie is sick. I can’t run into Jiejie.
“Ooh-ooh…”
She wagged her tail, her little puppy head carefully resting on the edge of the bed, her misty eyes wide, watching her Jiejie without a moment’s pause.
She treasured and traced her Jiejie’s eyes, nose, lips, and chin.
Jiejie has gotten so much thinner. She must have suffered a lot.
The little dog’s heart clenched tightly, and large tears fell from her eyes, soaking the bedcovers.
Chi Yu’s lashes trembled, and tears also constantly fell from her chin. Amidst her sobs, she gasped for breath.
Her gaunt fingertips struggled to reach out, and the little puppy’s head immediately and obediently nuzzled closer, trying to get near.
A low “awoo-awoo” came from her throat, which was the sound of her asking for pets.
A light curl appeared on Chi Yu’s moist lips.
Can Can is still so anxious.
The woman’s hand finally and as she wished touched the little Golden Retriever’s head.
As she had done countless times before, she stroked her gently and meticulously.
Unfortunately, in her sickly state, the so-called stroking was just a difficult, light movement of her fingertips.
Jin Can sensed her Jiejie’s weakness, and more pained tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried her best not to whimper.
She obediently nuzzled her Jiejie’s palm, completing this petting session.
Jiejie, I miss Jiejie so much…
The little Golden Retriever closed her eyes and carefully sniffed the familiar scent and fragrance of her Jiejie’s fingertips.
She couldn’t help but look up and gently lick her Jiejie’s fingertips and palm, licking them wet.
Jiejie’s hands are so thin they’re almost just bones.
Chi Yu let her lick.
A smile like spring appeared in her long-desolate eyes, and the corners of her eyes were still a sickly, moist red, but at this moment, a rich and gentle affection was added.
“My little dog can actually speak human language?”
The little Golden Retriever’s licking movements froze.
She immediately opened one eye halfway and looked at her Jiejie with a flickering gaze.
Chi Yu knew at a glance that this was Can Can having a little secret.
The last time Can Can had had this expression was when she had accidentally broken a vase at home.
At that time, she had pretended not to know and had lightly sighed that she had forgotten to close the window and it must have been blown over by a strong wind, trying to let the matter pass.
But the little Golden Retriever had whimpered and brought her favorite toy to her as a gift, and had then taken the initiative to face the wall in thought, her back a pitiful and guilty sight.
Before she could ask in detail, a figure flashed in her peripheral vision.
Chi Yu looked up and saw another woman appear at the door, holding a sea otter in her arms.
Luo Bian had just come out of the water not long ago, and her long, light-blue hair was dripping wet.
She flicked her hair coolly, and the wet drops all splashed onto Chi Yu’s face, cold and stinging, and instantly shook the briefly fainted Chi Yu awake.
Seeing the anger in Chi Yu’s eyes, Luo Bian tilted her head slightly. “What a pity. My ex-girlfriend isn’t here.”
“Otherwise, I would have whipped you with two large shrimp tails.”
After speaking, she paused.
No. Two large shrimp tails is my exclusive number.
She snorted in her heart and immediately changed her words. “Forget it. I’ll just whip you with three.”
Chi Yu: “…”
The next second, Luo Bian’s hand slipped, and the sea otter in her arms fell to the ground. It twisted its body and whipped Chi Yu with a huge sea otter tail.
Smack!
Chi Yu was so whipped her head was spinning.
At this point, Pei the Red Panda’s plan was roughly complete, but there was one accident.
Referring to the layout of room 2001, they had originally thought that Chi Yu would be staying in the master bedroom of the ward suite.
That way, the small animals could boldly tease Chi Yu in the living room without Chi Yu seeing, thus avoiding scaring the woman.
As long as the little Golden Retriever went into the master bedroom to meet her master.
Who knew that Chi Yu had moved Chi Yu’s hospital bed to the living room, where the environment was not as good, perhaps because this position was visible the moment the door was pushed open, with no privacy or avoidance to speak of.
In short, the scene that Pei the Red Panda had planned had thus been witnessed completely by Chi Yu.
At this moment, the human and the red panda arrived at the door and saw the woman on the bed and her little dog snuggled together, her expression relaxed, and her mental state seeming to be good. Only then did they relax a little.
Ye Qingyu gestured to the side, and the hospital’s security team followed them in.
The black panther was just a short distance away, and Chi Yu was still trapped in her fear.
Her right eye was also severely swollen and painful, her vision obstructed, and her face was also swollen from being slapped, a rather disheveled sight.
Seeing the security team, she gasped for breath. “Quick, take this circus away…”
With both people and animals, in her eyes, it was a circus.
And the word “circus” stabbed Pei the Red Panda’s ears. Her pupils constricted, and her breathing tightened.
Ye Qingyu immediately noticed.
She turned her head to look at the little red panda, her warm palm carefully wrapping around the woman’s hand, gently stroking the back of it to comfort her.
Then she took a step forward, shielding Pei the Red Panda.
Her hand movements were gentle, but her gaze toward the Chi Yu on the ground was dark and cold.
“Please help me drive this person out,” she said faintly.
Seeing the well-trained security team members immediately come over to restrain her, Chi Yu struggled and shrieked:
“How dare you? The membership…”
“Your membership has already been revoked,” Ye Qingyu interrupted in time, kindly reminding her.
“As for Miss Chi Yu, we will be taking over her recovery and recuperation, so we won’t trouble you.”
Chi Yu gritted her teeth.
Ever since she was little, her grandmother had doted on her excessively. She had been coaxed and surrounded, getting whatever she wanted with a crook of her finger, oppressing whatever she disliked, and, when she craved something, taking advantage of a weakness to keep it under her nose.
She had never been so wronged.
“I am her guardian. What right do you have…”
“She now has the capacity for civil conduct. You have long since ceased to be her guardian. If this continues, the charge will be illegal imprisonment.”
Chi Yu was very wary about the matter of imprisoning Chi Yu and had exploited a legal loophole. The current evidence was difficult to use to truly convict her.
But Ms. Ye Zhao had said that this person was ruthless and had committed enough crimes to be in deep trouble.
Only then did Ye Qingyu watch with satisfaction as she was shamelessly carried away by security.
The small animal rescue team was only responsible for the warm and cute part. The bloody and stormy matters that followed would be left to her great mother and little mom.
…
After Chi Yu and the security team had left, Ye Qingyu temporarily had no time for anything else.
She carefully observed Pei the Red Panda’s expression, raised a hand to pet the woman’s head, and asked in a low voice, “Are you okay?”
This little red panda had once asked her very seriously what she thought of zoos and animal performances.
At the time, she had been puzzled.
But today, when Chi Yu had mentioned “circus,” Ye Qingyu had felt the person beside her tremble as if in stress.
A sharp, speculative pain instantly surged in her heart.
There were other people and beasts present. Pei the Red Panda blinked her peach blossom eyes and said nonchalantly, “I’m fine.”
But the corners of her eyes were still filled with a fragile red.
Faced with this little red panda who cared so much about her face, Ye Qingyu was completely helpless.
She leaned in and hugged the little red panda to comfort her, feeling the woman actively nestle her head in the crook of her neck, burying it for a moment.
She clearly needed a hug.
After a restrained hug for a few seconds, she turned her head and saw a group of burning gazes swoosh away.
Ye Qingyu’s heart felt a little embarrassed, but she did not regret doing this.
She raised a hand and gently closed the door, and the late-night ward was filled with a warm yellow light.
The messy and noisy scene from just now was gone, replaced by a quiet warmth.
On the bed, Chi Yu struggled to clear her throat and, with great effort, tried to push herself up into a sitting position to talk to everyone more politely.
Ye Qingyu saw her intention and immediately said in a gentle voice:
“No need to get up. We are all Can Can’s friends. You can be more at ease.”
A certain little dog, whose head was still resting on the hospital bed, nodded repeatedly. “Jiejie, everyone is very nice.”
Not having expected Chi Yu to be living in the living room, everyone had exposed their covers in front of this human on the first day—
From entering in beast form to tease Chi Yu, to transforming back into human form before the security came in, they had been completely exposed.
And the woman on the bed had clear, gentle eyes, and with the little dog’s explanation and company, she had not shown any fear at all.
At this moment, her eyes even lit up slightly. “You… you are all… little spirits?”
And her Can Can was a little dog spirit.
Everyone was slightly stunned.
Luo Bian liked the word “spirit.” “We are small animals who can transform.”
Chi Yu’s lashes trembled. She clutched the covers, feeling a great sense of wonder.
If it were before, having her understanding of the world and science overturned like this, she might have been flustered and uneasy, and would have fallen into a long period of thought.
But after experiencing life and death several times, it gives one a certain carefree composure.
As long as she could be reunited with Can Can, this world could be any way it wanted.
Faced with the pitiful woman on the bed, who was so sickly she was just skin and bones, who panted after just a few words, yet was so gentle and tolerant, the little beasts felt a certain fondness. They gathered around her lively and introduced themselves one by one.
Before Ye Qingyu and Pei the Red Panda could introduce themselves, Jin Can nuzzled her Jiejie’s hand and wagged her tail to cheer her up. “Jiejie, first guess what kind of animals these two are.”
Chi Yu looked at the beautiful woman with reddish-brown hair and quickly smiled. “Are you a red panda?”
Pei the Red Panda’s ears twitched slightly.
Was she that obvious?
And when it came to Ye Qingyu, Chi Yu said without thinking, “You are a little dog.”
Ye Qingyu was a little surprised.
She couldn’t help but ask, “How did you know?”
Chi Yu’s fingertips gently scratched the little dog’s chin, and was answered by Jin Can licking her palm.
She said softly, “I am, after all, a dog raiser.”
Just now, when she had come in, she had seen Ye Qingyu always paying attention to that red panda, petting and comforting her at the slightest sign of trouble, shielding her, and then cuddling and hugging her.
She was just like a loyal and clingy big dog.
“…” Ye Qingyu’s lips pursed slightly.
She said, “Actually, I’m a human.”
Chi Yu’s eyes widened slightly. “…I’m so sorry.”
