When Lin Gantang was done with her work, she received a call from Bei Bei.
“Gantang.” Bei Bei’s voice was full of energy. “I heard you talk about stray cats before. I have two little gray cats here. Do you want to take a look?”
Lin Gantang went over to Bei Bei.
Bei Bei said that she discovered the two cats when she was getting her car. The weather was cold, and a cat had gotten into the hood of the car and hid near the engine compartment to keep warm. Bei Bei did not know that there was a cat hiding in the car. When she started the engine, she twisted the cat’s front leg.
One of them even leapt out from the side of the wheel in fright.
The injured cat’s front leg was badly mutilated and scary. If it was left alone, it probably wouldn’t survive the winter. Bei Bei sent it to the pet hospital for treatment and bandaging.
The remaining one was also found, and now the two were locked in a cage.
“If you don’t want them, I’ll ask my friends if they can adopt them or send them to a rescue center.” Bei Bei looked at the injured cat, feeling very guilty. “I hurt it, but my mother is allergic to cats. Otherwise, I would have kept it.”
“It just so happens that 1 plan to go to the rescue center to see the cats in the next two days. You can hand them over to me.” Lin Gantang took the cage.
Lin Gantang sent the two gray cats to the pet shop. After a bath, she realized that the uninjured cat was actually white, and was an ordinary domestic cat. The pet shop assistant said that the other cat’s injury was a little serious and a bath was not recommended – it was better to allow the wound time to heal first.
Lin Gantang took the two cats for deworming check-ups and vaccinations. When they were settling down, she thought about putting the white cat in the bookstore for quarantine and bringing the gray cat home.
Jiang Tongtong’s heart ached when she saw the injured cat. The gray cat was not very clean, so Lin Gantang did not dare to let Jiang Tongtong touch it. She took the cat to the third floor and locked it in a cage with water and cat food.
During this period, Bei Bei came once and brought canned cat food and cat snacks for the gray cat.
Christmas arrived as scheduled.
At night, the street lights lit up, and the cheerful Christmas songs could be heard. The little stars on the Christmas trees sparkled, and there was a strong festive atmosphere everywhere.
It was not snowing.
Lin Gantang exhaled a breath of air and it turned into a white mist.
This was the first Christmas that she was spending with Wen Yanqing. He and Lin Gantang were walking on the streets, having fun like any other ordinary couple, smiling sweetly.
Lin Gantang pulled him to look at the accessories on the display shelf. She smiled and put a Santa hat on his head and Santa Claus’ white beard. Wen Yanqing do tingly allowed her to play with him.
Lin Gantang was satisfied. He smiled and put a reindeer antler headband on her head, tidying the stray hairs on her forehead.
Lin Gantang reached out and touched it.
Wen Yanqing grabbed her hand and smiled. “It looks good. You can wear it.”
Lin Gantang glanced to the side and saw that no one was paying attention. She hugged Wen Yanqing’s neck and kissed his dimples, then quickly let go.
Wen Yanqing’s eyes darkened.
“You really don’t want a Christmas present?” Lin Gantang asked softly.
Wen Yanqing shook his head and smiled. “You said that you don’t want one; then 1 don’t one either.”
“It’s different! You’ve already prepared so many gifts for me. You don’t have to give me any more in the future. I have to prepare something for you,” Lin Gantang retorted. “Is there anything in particular you want?”
“A gift?” Wen Yanqing’s focused gaze fell on her, his obsidian-like eyes reflecting her figure. “Come closer to me.”
Lin Gantang went into his open coat and hugged his waist tightly. The two of them were so close that they couldn’t be separated. She asked loudly, “Close enough? Is it close enough?”
Wen Yanqing laughed heartily. He straightened her crooked headband and kissed the top of her head..
