1 Chapter I
"Sir, would you like to have some hot water?"
The young man took the glass of water from the staff and politely thanked him.
It is a private counseling facility with warm tones and a soothing music loop in the lobby.
Because it was a day off, twice as many people came to the consultation as usual, and they were either sad or anxious.
Compared to them, the quiet and peaceful young man seemed a little out of place.
After receiving the others in turn, the staff returned to the front desk, noticed that the eyes of their colleagues had been falling on the young man, and patted her.
The colleague came back to his senses, lowered his voice and said something in his heart: "Mr. Wen is really good-looking." β
The other had just finished filling out the information form, and when he heard this, he took the opportunity to look over.
The young man wore an apricot-colored cotton-lined trench coat over and a simple long-sleeved shirt inside, with a slim and smooth line that stretched all the way to the waist.
Outside the window, the wind blows, causing the dead leaves to rattle. He tilted his head slightly, revealing his delicate cheeks.
It's really good-looking, the man thought.
On the sofa next to the young man, a mother and daughter were sitting, and the child looked less than six years old.
From the time she came in, the mother hung her head, clutched the child's wrist tightly, and did not say a word.
The child licked his slightly dry lips and reached for the hot water on the table.
Her arms were obviously not long enough to get the water glass, so she looked to the side as if asking for help, and saw her mother's gloomy face, and moved her lips without saying a word.
As she was struggling, a bony hand reached out and handed her hot water.
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then said thank you crisply to the calm eyes of the young man.
The little episode between them was taken away by the staff at the front desk, and they were a little sorry for a while.
Handsome and gentle, how can such a person have psychological problems?
After handing the girl the water glass, Wen Xin sat back quietly.
After a few more moments, he heard the front desk calling him.
"Mr. Wen, it's your turn."
It wasn't the first time Wen Xin had come over, and he was familiar with the office of the appointment counselor, and the last counselor had just come out.
He knocked on the door, heard the inside say "Please come in," and walked in.
The consultation room is warmly furnished, with warm yellow wallpaper, greenery waving in the wind by the window, and even two stuffed bears on the sofa.
Noticing Wen Xin's gaze lingering on them, the counselor smiled, "You can hug it." β
Wen Xin didn't hesitate and hugged the stuffed bear in his arms.
The tentacles were fine, soft and fluffy, not quite the same as the black balls he had touched.
The hair of the black ball is like a sharp barb, slightly hard, and it takes a lot to prick.
The counselor flipped through Wen Sin's file and began to take notes.
The duration of psychological counseling is generally about an hour, but Wen Xin only needs half an hour, because he is very cooperative, basically as long as the counselor asks, he will answer truthfully.
Except for family-related issues, I will keep my mouth shut.
Wen Xin has no bad habits, because he has a peaceful temperament, does not fight or grab, and there are almost no annoying points.
But he has never been a talker, and it is difficult for him to establish a close and friendly relationship with others, and the counselor guesses that the crux of the other party's problem should be the family.
To this end, he encourages Wencindo to come into contact with cute and harmless critters, and if possible, try to get a pet to delight the soul.
Winsing listened.
Once he came here, he and the counselor mentioned the pet store near his home, but the next few times, the conversation was more about a stray black cat that had just appeared in the community.
Seeing that people showed affection, the counselor also encouraged him: "If you are sure that it is an ownerless stray cat, and it does not exclude your closeness, you can take it home." β
In autumn, the weather turns cool rapidly, stray animals are prone to illness, and in serious cases, their lives will be in danger.
In addition, there are many psychopaths in this world who abuse for fun, and the law makes it impossible for them to do anything to people, so they turn around and kill stray animals that no one cares about, resulting in an increasingly severe living environment for stray animals.
These words made Wen Xin can't help but be vigilant.
Kurooko rarely let him approach, only once did he touch the other man's hair, which was stained with dried and coagulated blood scabs.
Winsing wasn't sure if there was a wound hidden under the thick hair.
There are people coming and going in the community, and most of the people who feed the cats are retired elderly people, and it is completely impossible to see who did it.
He thought more seriously about raising a cat, and the last time he came, he had already made up his mind and was ready to carry it out.
The counselor asked him a few questions as usual, and when he was done, he asked with a smile, "Last time you said you wanted to bring Xiao Hei home, what happened?" β
Winsing paused, shook his head, and said, "I've talked to it, and it's not very willing. β
The counselor's mind immediately popped up with a picture of a man and a cat meowing at meow.
He coughed lightly and continued, "Then how did you talk to it?" β
Winsing: "I asked him if he would like to come home with me." β
Because the other party was too serious, the counselor expected that he was just as serious when he asked the cat this question, and suddenly couldn't hold back: "Poof." β
Wen Xin: "? β
The counselor hurriedly hid his smile.
He didn't expect the other party to be quite childlike.
Cats can't understand human speech, so how can they give answers.
The counselor didn't break it, but said: "The promise of humans is still too ethereal for animals, they can't feel it, you can use some more tangible ways to invite." β
Wen Xin pricked up his ears and humbly asked for advice: "For example? β
It's not the first time that the counselor has recommended someone to have a pet, and he smiles with experience: "For example, prepare some cat food or canned cat food." β
.
Autumn is followed by rainy days, and the sky gets darker than in summer.
Wen Xin walked out of the institution, and a cold wind blew, ruffling the broken hair on his forehead.
There was already a thin layer of clouds and mist in the sky, and he was worried that it would rain for a while, so he hastened and hurried in the direction of home.
When he walked into the community garden, Wen Xin found that there were many people gathered downstairs, and the voices of people were noisy, all looking up at the sky.
He followed suit, and saw a trembling little furry head peeking out of the beams between the tall buildings, and his expression changed slightly.
The conversation next to him was intermittent, roughly piecing together the original story.
ββ¦β¦ The window was not locked, so the cat ran out, and the head of the household called the cat rescue organization, and the person came, and was trying to save it. β
"Upstairs is windy, the cat is frightened and refuses to move, and it is too far away from the location of the head of the household, so I can only find a way from the other side, unfortunately the family is on a business trip."
"So what to do? You said that these cat owners don't know how to close the windows tightly! β
Wen Xin found that the location of the cat was very close to his own home, just one floor upstairs, and without saying much, he hurried upstairs.
At the door, he bumped into the owner of the cat and the people from Save the Cats, and the other side wanted to borrow the window of his house.
"The beam was too narrow to fit the airbox, so I had to find a way to climb up."
Also because the beams are too narrow, the upstairs is windy, it is difficult to stand firm, and I don't know how long the cat can hold out.
The owner of the cat was very anxious and sincerely said that as long as Wen Xin was willing to help, he would give the other party a hundred yuan to thank him.
Wen Xin shook his head and opened the door directly.
The cat rescue organization has seen the cat's situation in the video, and it is not suitable for the flight box, so this time I came out and specially brought a safety rope.
They are experienced amateurs, and at this level, they can try to save the cat without risk, but if they can't save the cat in the end, they can only call 119.
Seeing people falling out of the window, whether it was Wen Xin and the others in the room, or the crowd watching the excitement downstairs, they couldn't help but hold their breath.
It was at this time that a sudden change arose.
The heavy clouds converged, and a faint burst of purple electric light flashed.
Wen Xin saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly leaned against the window, and in the next second, a deafening thunder exploded in the sky.
"Meow!"
The kitten on the beam was immediately frightened and screamed, and half of its body jumped up.
Unfortunately, a strong wind blew.
Rescuer: "Oh no, cat! β
The cat was blown by the wind to the side of the beam and fell straight down. Rescuers are climbing up, clutching the railing with both hands, and there is no time to turn back.
The mouths of the crowd downstairs were slightly open, and the screams were already bursting out of their throats.
At the last moment, a pair of hands quickly reached out of the window and caught the cat.
"Meowββ! Meow meow! β
The cat was frightened and struggled wildly with its paws. Wen Xin's heart was beating like a drum, his palms were full of sweat, and he didn't care about anything else, his fingertips rubbed the back of the cat's neck meat, and he continued to soothe.
Xu is feet fell to the ground, and the frightened kitten finally quieted down.
It smelled a reassuring aura from the young man in front of it, and couldn't help but lick his chin gently.
The cat was saved!
The stunned crowd burst into cheers in an instant!
"Huanhuan, Huanhuan, my Huanhuan!"
The owner of the cat finally came to his senses, and when he saw that the cat was saved, he almost cried with joy, and pounced on the cat and took the cat back into his arms.
As a result, as soon as the cat's paws moved away, the criss-crossing scratches were suddenly presented in front of everyone.
"Sss Several people present gasped.
Wen Xin is cold white skin, the work unit is indoors, there is no light all year round, and it looks white and smooth.
There were bloody wounds on such skin, which looked horrible and piercing.
In fact, it is indeed very serious, the kitten is not frightened, and there are at least a dozen wounds scratched.
The owner of the cat felt guilty and said urgently: "Yes, I'm sorry, I'll take you to the hospital." β
Wen Xin said: "It's okay, I have been vaccinated against rabies. β
He had checked the information before, and he could get the rabies vaccine without being bitten, and the effective protection could last for at least half a year.
But the cat owner was very stubborn and insisted on taking Wen Xin to see the injury: "You have so many scratches, no matter how bad it is, you have to go to the clinic at the entrance of the community to deal with it." β
As they descended the stairs, Wen Sing felt a vague gaze linger on him.
He looked back and saw the familiar figure of a cat in the treetops.
Hei Tuanzi usually likes to stand on a high place, his eyes are down, his chin is slightly raised, indifferent and arrogant.
Only at this moment, its eyes were no longer vertical pupils, like golden amber, slightly softening towards Wen Xin.
Compared with other cats, the one he is looking at does not look like a stray cat in terms of momentum.
Ever since the last invitation was denied, Kurodanko had been avoiding him, and Wen Xin hadn't seen it in a few days.
He wanted to go over, but saw Hei Tuanzi jump into the garden, and disappeared again in three or two clicks.
Dark clouds hovered in the sky, and from time to time a thunderclap sounded.
It's going to be a rainy night tonight.
