Chapter 283 Goodbye, Doctor
After Meng Li took the cocker spaniel away, Zhang Zian mourned for his graduate students for three minutes, said hello to Long Xian, left the clinic, and walked quickly back to the pet shop. On the way, he felt a little puzzled, Sun Xiaomeng just went to open the door, why hasn't he returned to the clinic yet? Even if you walk slowly, half an hour back and forth is enough. If she got her wish and started playing with Xinghai...he wouldn't believe it.
There were several decoration workers on the first floor of the store who were doing construction. He didn't see Guo Dongyue. After asking someone casually, he knew that Guo Dongyue had explained the necessary things clearly and left first. They were constructing according to the drawings and there would be no problems.
Zhang Zian stood and watched for a while pretending not to understand, and felt that their work was very professional, and he could not see any flaws at his level. Taking advantage of Fina's absence on the first floor, he took a few bottles of Evian mineral water and handed them to several workers, asking them to quench their thirst. He would buy them drinks later.
On the second floor, he saw Xinghai squatting in the corridor, tilting his head, as if waiting for him to come back.
"I'm back, Xinghai, what are you doing?" he asked.
"Meow ~ hide and seek!" Xinghai replied.
"Hide and seek..." Zhang Zian was a little puzzled. Shouldn't hide and seek be "catch" and "hide"? How could anyone stand still? Xinghai has also played hide-and-seek, except for facing the wall and counting, he has never stood still.
Xinghai shook his head, raised a cat's paw and pointed in the direction of the kitchen, "It's not Xinghai playing hide-and-seek, it's Richard playing hide-and-seek."
Richard?
Zhang Zian just remembered that Richard and the two red-faced parrots stayed in the kitchen before he left, so he opened the kitchen door, only to see Sun Xiaomeng standing in the kitchen with several Spice bottles and a stainless steel stockpot. He noticed that Sun Xiaomeng's expression was very complicated, as if he had just thought about some difficult question, and most of the time he didn't get the answer he wanted.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Zian asked, "Are you going to play house?"
"..." Sun Xiaomeng was speechless. Just as she was about to explain further, her cell phone rang.
"Hello?" She glanced at the calling number and connected.
"Sister Xiaomeng, when are you coming back? A customer with an appointment is here." Longxian asked on the phone.
Sun Xiaomeng pinched the center of her brows as if she had a headache. She was so surprised just now that she forgot about the customer's appointment time.
"I'll go back right away, let the customer wait a moment." She said quickly.
"OK,
I see, then I'll hang up first. "Longxian hung up the phone.
Although Sun Xiaomeng is very concerned about Richard's affairs, she is not a scientist after all, but a veterinarian. No matter how interested she is, she still has to do her own job first.
"I borrowed the kitchen utensils, I didn't do anything else. I'll go back first." She said simply to Zhang Zian, took another deep look at Richard, waved her hand and said, "Goodbye, Richard, I will come again It's up to you."
Richard's eyes fixed on her with nostalgia, "Goodbye, doctor."
Sun Xiaomeng was slightly taken aback, and said nothing, walked out of the kitchen, and saw Xinghai standing at the door of the bedroom watching her from afar.
"Xinghai, goodbye." She smiled and waved.
"Meow~"
After Sun Xiaomeng left, Zhang Zian didn't recall it for a long time.
"Richard, why did you call her Doctor?" He asked curiously, "Don't you always call her 'Beauty'?"
Richard was silent, and after a few seconds, he flapped his wings and shouted: "Quack! You idiot, she is a doctor, right? Don't you know that doctor means 'doctor' in English?"
"Having said that..." Zhang Zian still felt a little awkward, mainly because Richard's attitude was different before and after he went out... no, it was different.
Even though he is a scumbag in English, he knows that the word doctor means both "doctor" and "doctor"-you must know that Richard likes to play "puns" rhetorical games the most.
But... He thought about it carefully, maybe he was thinking too much. Although he didn't know Sun Xiaomeng's specific education, he probably wasn't a doctor. It's almost 30 years old after graduating with a Ph. D., and Sun Xiaomeng is obviously not that old... Unless she is a genius who went to college when she was underage, but it doesn't look like it... Also, if you have a Ph. D., there are many ways to make money, no Do you need to lower your status to open a pet clinic?
Therefore, Richard has no reason to call Sun Xiaomeng "doctor".
Well, he must be thinking too much.
"What did she talk to you about?" Zhang Zian asked while putting the seasoning bottle back on the shelf.
"Quack! She seems to have doubts about my uncle's ability and wants to test him." Richard said nonchalantly, returning to his usual appearance—at least on the surface.
"Oh, what did you test?" He put the stainless steel soup pot back in the cabinet.
"It seems to be hide-and-seek? For my uncle, there is no challenge at all!" Richard looked up, "You idiot forgot to close the cupboard door! Be careful of getting into the mouse!"
Zhang Zian really forgot to close the cabinet door, because when he heard the words "hide and seek", his thinking was suddenly disturbed. So, those five seasoning bottles are all for playing hide and seek? What kind of hide-and-seek can you play with a spice bottle?
"I said, you won't be acting too outrageous, right?" He reminded, "I told you before that if you behave too outrageously, you may be caught and sliced by the men in black! Do you know what it means to slice? ? Have you ever seen Capital Roast Duck?”
"You idiot, don't worry about it, just take care of yourself." Richard said impatiently, waving a wing to drive him away, "If you have nothing else to do, leave quickly, my uncle has to hurry up Time to teach these two idiot birds how to talk!"
Zhang Zian has already said what he should say, and he can't tie his beak all day long.
He left the kitchen when he heard Richard's gruff voice behind him.
"Pot! Bowl! Basin!"
The voices of the two red-faced parrots also sounded.
"Pass... play... touch..."
The pronunciation is not accurate, the intonation is wrong, Richard has a long way to go.
Xing Hai was still squatting in the corridor, looking at him with silver-gray eyes blinking, as if he hadn't left at all.
Zhang Zian also squatted down and asked, "Xinghai, you said that Richard needs Sun Xiaomeng's help, right?"
Xinghai nodded, "Meow ~ yes."
"So, Sun Xiaomeng won't hurt it, right?" He asked what he really cared about.
Xinghai, Fina, and Laocha, no matter how magical they are, others will regard them as animals, and they are relatively low-key or cold, only Richard is like a time bomb, always likes to be in front of others If you want to show off, you can't tell when it will come out. He was worried that Richard would not know how to advance or retreat, and he would behave too much in front of Sun Xiaomeng, which would make her think of handing over to the country... That would be troublesome.
Xinghai shook his head, "Don't worry about Zian, the doctor won't hurt it."
"So, is it a doctor or a doctor?" Zhang Zian knew that his question was inexplicable, but he felt that if it was Xinghai, he should be able to understand it. He still couldn't let go of the title of doctor.
"For Richard, he is a doctor and also a doctor." Xing Hai said confidently, "Zian don't worry."
"I hope so." Zhang Zian believed in Xinghai.
