Thinking that she actually cared about whether he came to pick her up on purpose, she gritted her teeth in annoyance and secretly looked at his expression, only to see that he was staring straight ahead, his eyes as deep as the vast sea, and he couldn't clearly see the emotions inside.
She turned her head, lowered her eyes, and said nothing more, but her heart was not as peaceful as she was outside.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to realize that this man had more and more influence on her. She wanted to ignore him, but she couldn't. He was like a dazzling luminous body that made her care about him involuntarily.
To pay attention.
Maybe it was because of the almost identical face that she gave herself such a high-sounding excuse and didn't want to face the truest thoughts in her heart.
The car drove into the underground parking garage. He walked in front without saying a word, while Shui Xi hugged her slightly cold body and followed behind.
I don't know why I made him unhappy. He has always been silent from the moment I got in the car to now.
Although it's cool to look cold, it can make people feel a lot of pressure, okay?
When she walked into the apartment, the soft carpets, comfortable sofas, and elegant yet warm decoration style made her feel comfortable and warm, as if she had returned to a long-lost home.
Home?
She was startled by the words that suddenly appeared in her mind. In a daze, a towel was thrown on her: "Look how wet you are. You will be as embarrassed as you are. Clean it up for me."
"Oh!" She responded blankly, wiping her hair with a towel, but she was indescribably touched that he would let her wipe it with a towel.
Although this guy had a bad tone, she could feel his concern.
The corners of his lips turned up into a smile unconsciously.
"You're not out of your mind, are you? You're like a drowned rat, and you're still laughing." He looked at her with a weird look on his face.
"No, I'm not laughing at anything." She responded casually.
He snorted coldly, ignored her, unbuttoned his tie, and unbuttoned his suit jacket. The three rows of buttons on the white shirt underneath were open, revealing his perfect chest.
He didn't seem to notice someone's direct gaze. He unbuttoned his sleeves on both sides and rolled them up at will, revealing his slender and beautiful arms and wrists. The whole person looked charming and wild, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
Fascinating temperament.
He casually shook his hair that was wet by the rain. His free and easy move was so handsome that it was breathtaking. Shui Xi couldn't help but stare at it.
I felt a lot relieved at once. No wonder such a handsome, cold and charming man could be so popular with thousands of women. It is normal for her to be confused by him. It would be a serious violation of common sense for her not to be attracted by his gorgeous appearance.
Ling Muze, who originally wanted to go to the bathroom and take a shower, turned to look at her, the corners of his lips raised wickedly: "What? Do you want to take a mandarin duck bath together?"
Shui Xi's cheeks turned red in embarrassment and she shook her head repeatedly. Suddenly, she remembered something important: "It's storming outside, but Tangtang is still on the balcony."
After saying that, Shui Xi rushed to the balcony in panic.
Ling Muze's face darkened, and he was about to walk towards the bathroom, but he heard her scream: "Ah~"
Without thinking, he ran straight to the balcony, his speed was beyond description.
Seeing that she was fine, I immediately had the urge to pull her up and crush her violently.
"Ling Muze, look, these are all Tangtang's spit." She turned around and showed Ling Muze a pile of filth in the corner of her clothes.
She originally wanted to move Tangtang's nest further inside, but after moving her clothes, she discovered the filth in the corner, which seemed to have accumulated over the past few days.
No wonder Tangtang is always listless, always lying on the clothes, looking very well-behaved, not lively at all. Judging from the current situation, it seems that he has been sick for a long time, but she didn't find out until now.
Seeing Tangtang weak and pitiful with her dark round eyes open, she blamed herself to death.
Seeing the pile of filth, Ling Muze suddenly felt nauseated in his abdomen. He was so sick that he almost vomited. He roared angrily: "Bai Shuixi, you damn woman, show me such a disgusting thing. It stinks to death. Get this thing out right away."
Throw it out and clean this place up."
Shui Xi raised her pale face and looked at it pleadingly: "Tangtang is sick. If you throw it out now, it will definitely die. Although it is just an animal, it is also a life...
．”
"I don't care what it is, throw it out immediately. I don't want to see such a disgusting thing." He scolded in disgust.
Shui Xi shook her head violently: "No, as long as you keep Tangtang, I will do whatever you want."
"No, there's no need to discuss it," he said firmly.
Just as Shui Xi was about to say something, he saw Tangtang bowing up and then spitting out the thick white substance bit by bit. Shui Xi was so frightened that his face turned as pale as snow.
"Tangtang, Tangtang, are you okay?" She worriedly touched Tangtang's head.
Seeing Tangtang whining and spitting out white turbid things, she looked up and begged: "Ling Muze, can you take Tangtang and I to the pet hospital?"
"Don't even think about it. It's really unlucky. Throw this disgusting thing out right away. It makes me want to vomit. Do you hear me? You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shui Xi picked up Tangtang and rushed to the living room. He anxiously dug out the wallet inside, took out a few hundred dollars and stuffed it into his pocket, then ran out the door with Tangtang in his arms.
"Bai Shuixi, it's raining heavily outside, where are you going?" He tried to call her, but she had already rushed out of the door.
"Damn it!" He rubbed his hair in a depressed mood.
Shui Xi hugged Tangtang and rushed downstairs to the apartment, only to realize that it was raining heavily outside. If she rushed out like this with Tangtang in her arms, Tangtang's condition might be even worse.
But Tangtang was vomiting so much that if we didn't take her to the vet immediately, she might die.
Biting her lips, she took off her coat, wrapped Tangtang in her arms, and rushed into the heavy rain.
Fortunately, she usually paid attention to the shops on both sides of the street when she was shopping, and knew that there was a pet store not far away. She only had to turn two streets to get there. If she ran faster, it would only take 10 minutes.
She faced the sudden rain, and let the rain wash over her face and blur her vision. She hugged Tangtang tightly and ran towards the pet shop with all her strength.
Although she was almost out of breath, she kept holding on, shouting in her heart to encourage herself: Persevere, persevere, we are almost there, we are almost here.
In her blurry vision, she saw the words "Boai Pet Store", and joy filled her chest, and she ran towards the store with all her strength.
Tangtang, you can be saved, you can be saved.
．
．
．
．
．
Then her hope was suddenly shattered. She used her last strength to run to the door of the store, but the door was closed, and a sign saying "it was closed" was hung on the door handle.
All the strength in her body was suddenly drained, and she collapsed on the ground.
Looking towards the weak little life in her arms, she cried sadly: Tangtang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
．
．
．
．

"Get in the car!" A deep magnetic voice cut through the rain curtain and pierced straight into her heart, making her shiver in shock.
An indescribable emotion overflowed and spread in my chest, and tears kept falling down.
She struggled to get up, but because her body was so weak, she almost slipped and fell to the ground. Fortunately, she stabilized herself in time.
After getting in the car, the rain kept sliding down her cheeks. Her whole body was as wet as if she had been soaked in water. Seeing that the luxurious seat cushions and floor mats were all wet by herself, she sat up straight in embarrassment.
Thinking that Tangtang was still nestled in her arms, she quickly loosened her clothes and let the warm air in the car blow down.
Looking up at him, I saw that his eyes were staring straight ahead, his lips were pressed into a straight line, and the lines on his face were as cold and hard as a knife. It was obvious that he was in a depressed mood, even very unhappy.
The atmosphere in the carriage was dull. Shui Xi tugged at the corner of his clothes and had to say, "Thank you for taking me and Tangtang to the pet hospital."
He didn't look at her or ignore him. He had a dark and handsome face and drove the car coldly.
Shui Xi didn't say anything anymore. He was in a very bad mood now. If she said a few more words, he might throw herself and Tangtang down in a rage.
Tiredly, she leaned her head against the cushion. Her head was feeling dizzy and uncomfortable. She wanted to close her eyes and sleep, but she was thinking about Tangtang. She could only endure the discomfort and kept her eyes open.
The car stopped at a pet hospital, and Shui Xi was about to get out of the car with Tangtang in her arms. There was a shadow covering her head. When she looked up, she saw a steady black umbrella, and standing next to her was a man with a gloomy face.
Ling Muze, who had a mortal feud with him.
Although his aura was powerful and intimidating, she didn't feel a trace of fear. There was warmth in her heart. She couldn't help but smile at him: "Thank you, Ling Muze."
"Humph!" He snorted coldly and turned his head awkwardly.
She followed him to the door of the pet store called "Xilebao", and the barking of dogs came from inside.
She felt that the people around her visibly stiffened and stopped.
"You go in, I'll wait for you outside." He said coldly.
Knowing that he, the CEO of a big group, was afraid of dogs, she nodded in understanding and walked in with Tangtang in her arms.
As soon as she saw a customer coming, a waitress in work clothes walked towards her.
She quickly opened her coat and handed the candy to the waitress.
The waitress took the candy with her gloved hands and placed it on the table.
"Tell me the general situation of it," the waitress said. "It has been vomiting for a few days. It looks listless. It likes to sleep very much and has no appetite for eating..."
Shui Xi said.
"It probably has canine parvovirus!" the waitress said with a frown.
"What is canine parvovirus? Is it dangerous?" She had never had a dog before, so she didn't know anything about it. Seeing that the waitress looked a little solemn, she asked worriedly.
"I'm not sure yet. I'm going to get some instruments to check it specifically." After the waitress finished speaking, she went to get the tool box.
After taking out the examination tools inside and examining Tangtang's mouth, abdomen and other parts, she put down the tools and said solemnly: "It is definitely canine parvovirus, and it has been there for a long time. It can survive to this day.
