Chapter 40: Volunteers
"Sean, I have something to do today, so I can't go to the stadium to train!"
"Alright then, I'll go myself!"
At home, Beasley hung up the phone and collapsed on the couch. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe sunlight perches through the folds of the blinds, the wind chimes rustle in the courtyard, and the light and wind intertwine to form a three-dimensional silhouette - warm and comforting.
The weather was nice and it was a good day.
It's been more than a month since Beasley and Shayk first met, and their ambiguity has reached a bottleneck.
So, is it time to break this bottleneck?
Beasley had a smile on his face, and today was a very important day for him - he had made an appointment with Shayk to prepare for the final step.
At noon, after having a casual bite to eat, he set off to pick up Shayk.
The latter happened to be free recently, and when he received an invitation from Beasley, he came to Miami to enjoy the beach and sea breeze.
So, it's a rare opportunity.
Once in the car, Beasley made a phone call to Singler.
"Bruce, it's all done!"
"It's early!"
"Hehe, if something goes wrong, you wait for me!"
"Oh, you can rest assured that I will do something!"
Arriving at the hotel, Beasley was already waiting there since Beasley had texted Shayk ahead of time.
She wore a white T-shirt today, a pair of white slacks underneath, a sky blue top hat on her head, and her slender cheeks were not powdered, looking fresh and refined, which was unstoppable.
"What are you going to do today?" After getting in the car, she asked, her voice as soft as glutinous rice.
Beasley blinked, "Take you to a good place!" ”
Shayk shrugged, "I'm looking forward to that!" Then she pulled the corners of her mouth gracefully.
……
The car was not moving fast, and after crossing three streets, they finally reached their destination.
Miami Bernardo Street Animal Shelter.
"Hmm, how did you get here?" Shayk frowned, confused.
Beasley parked the car and replied, "Come and see these poor little ones, what, don't you like it?" ”
Shayk's eyes lit up, "How do you know I love critters the most?" Then she took off her hat and left it in the car, where she looked a little weird if she was still wearing a top hat.
Beasley smiled lightly and didn't speak.
Immediately after entering, a middle-aged man in work clothes walked over.
"Hey, are you here to adopt critters?" He asked, his voice high-pitched.
Beasley stepped forward and shook his hand, "I'm Michael Beasley, and I've made an appointment to volunteer here this afternoon!" ”
The middle-aged man, who was supposed to be a staff member of the shelter, had a look of sudden realization when he heard this, and then he patted his head and said, "Oh, Mr. Beasley, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" I'm the breeder here, you can call me Charlie. Belch... Who is this beautiful young lady? ”
"She's here to volunteer, too!" Beasley replied for Shayk.
"Okay, then I'll go get you clothes now!" Charlie spoke as he walked towards the room inside.
Shayk's expression was a little unnatural, she elbowed Beasley lightly, and then said in a flirtatious tone: "I said Michael, your popularity in Miami is too bad!" He doesn't even know you! ”
Beasley couldn't help but laugh, "I'll admit I'm not as popular as you, okay!" ”
Shayk cocked his head in pride.
Soon, Charlie walked out with two sets of overalls.
"Here, put on this, lest you stain your clothes!" He handed over his overalls, and then pointed to a small room on the left, "That's the dressing room, you can go there and change it, just put it on, don't bother too much!" ”
Beasley obeyed the rule of ladies first, "Irina, you go and change first!" ”
Shayk nodded, took his overalls, and walked over.
"Charlie, do you really not know me? Do you think I look familiar? When Shayk closed the door to the room, Beasley immediately asked Charlie.
Charlie was taken aback by him, "Mr. Beasley, what are you talking about?" I didn't know you in the first place! ”
Beasley covered his face with one hand, his expression embarrassed.
Oh my God!
O earth!
Is my popularity really so low?
In fact, Beasley is misunderstood, although this is Miami, but after all, not everyone is a basketball fan, even if it is Wade, Charlie, who may not know him, not to mention that he has been on fire for too short, so this is normal.
It didn't take long for Shayk to come out, her clothes and pants simply slipped.
Then, Beasley immediately went in and changed.
"Alright, now I'll take you to see the lion and the tiger." Charlie led them to the backyard.
This backyard is quite large, and it is full of grass at a glance, but the grass is a little yellow because winter is approaching.
Not far away was a kitchen-sized wooden house, where a tiger crouched, listless and basking in the sun.
"Oh! Is that a tiger? Shayk exclaimed.
Charlie smiled, "Yes, don't be afraid, you stay here, I'll bring them lunch, they are probably going to starve!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up a large basin of bloody pork and walked over.
"He's not going to be eaten by a tiger, is he?" Shayk was a little frightened, and before he knew it, he leaned towards Beasley.
Beasley sensed the abnormality of the people around him, turned his head to look at her pale face, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then he tightly grabbed her soft and boneless little hand, "No, he is the keeper here, and the tiger must have been raised by him!" ”
Shayk's little face suddenly turned red, and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but after thinking about it, she held back.
She looked at Beasley's cool side face, and her eyes were full of sweetness.
"Leo, Buckdor, it's time to eat!" Charlie called as he walked.
The tiger was not sleepy when it saw Charlie's figure, and it spread its legs and rushed towards Charlie.
At this moment, a male lion limped out of the wooden house.
"Is this lion's foot hurt?" Shayk exclaimed again, Beasley looked closely and noticed the problem, and he answered, "You see, it only has three legs. ”
Indeed, the right leg behind it is missing.
Charlie threw the pork in the basin to the ground, "I'm hungry!" Eat quickly, you are also to blame the poor! ”
The tiger was eating like crazy, and the lion was eating much more than that.
Charlie threw all the pork away and walked back.
"It's fun to watch them eat, don't you think?" He asked with a grin.
Beasley smiled and replied, "It's interesting, can you tell us a story about them?" ”
Charlie waved his hand, "No problem! Then he walked over to the water pipe, washed his hands, and sat down on the steps.
"The tiger's name is Leo, and the lion's name is Barctor."
"You should know, there was a safari park here, and then they moved to the city center, and their parents were from this zoo, but they were rather pitiful, and they were left out by careless staff shortly after birth, and they didn't bring them together, so they were homeless."
"It's a good thing the director found them, otherwise they would have starved to death."
"Leo was a month old at the time, and when the director brought it back, his facial features were distorted, and we rushed to treat him, but in the end Leo was left with the root of the disease - now he has problems with smell and hearing. And Bactor was even worse, it was only half a month old at that time, it should have been in a car accident, the right leg behind it was useless, we had to take the method of amputation, and it became what it is now. ”
Charlie's face was gloomy when he said this, and it would be very uncomfortable for any animal lover to know this!
Reminded of his sad past, Beasley felt compelled to apologize to him, "I'm sorry, Charlie!" ”
Charlie shook his head, signaling that he was fine.
On the other side, Shayk's eyes are red, this kind of thing that is very uncomfortable for a man to listen to, she is more likely to be incited as a girl!
On the meadow, Leo had already eaten his share.
Bhakdor, on the other hand, eats more slowly, and there is a pile of meat scattered around.
At this time, Leo walked towards Baccto, and Beasley thought it was going to get a piece of the pie, but unexpectedly, Leo took the meat to Bhaktor piece by piece.
Beasley immediately understood that Buckdor's mobility was impossible, and Leo was helping him!
He couldn't help but be in awe.
Lions and tigers can actually live in peace and unite and help each other!
"Haha, don't be surprised, they grew up together since childhood, and they have been exactly like brothers for so many years!" Charlie had swept away his bad mood and put on a smiling face.
"Let's go, it's your turn to get busy!"
PS: The second shift is in the early hours of the morning, it will be a little late, so don't wait, it's not good to stay up late.
