Chapter 288: Cough

Zhang Zian dared to agree to Sun Xiaomeng's request. Firstly, because of the restrictions of the game system, Richard couldn't leave even if he wanted to; secondly, because he always thought that the twisted melon was not sweet, just like he once asked Lao Cha if he wanted to leave Similarly, just like the snow lion left its original owner, the elves have their own will and dignity, and it is up to them to decide whether to go or not, and they cannot come reluctantly.

Sun Xiaomeng followed him through the first floor. She noticed that the decoration workers brought by Guo Dongyue were very qualified. They paid special attention to dust prevention and reducing construction noise during work, so the construction environment was not as bad as she imagined.

Zhang Zian installed a door curtain on the stairs, which can somewhat block the dust.

"I said it's so cold here, the temperature is about the same as outside, aren't you cold?" Sun Xiaomeng asked, crossing her arms. She discovered this problem the last time she came, but forgot to mention it. In addition, the last time she came, it was only dry and cold. Due to the large amount of water required for construction, the store is damp and cold today.

Zhang Zian teased, "Anyway, I'm not cold, are you too weak?"

If it were him in the past, he might also feel cold, but now he is practicing Wing Chun with Lao Cha, and his physical fitness is getting better and better. Although he is far from the point where cold and heat are not invaded in martial arts novels, at least he is better than ordinary people. Humans are more resistant to cold.

Sun Xiaomeng shook her head, reminding Wu Yue as if she were reminding him, "The weather forecast says that the wind will cool down tomorrow, so be careful of freezing and catching a cold."

"Thank you, but I'm fine." Zhang Zian said nonchalantly.

They lifted the curtain and entered the corridor on the second floor. All the rooms were closed. Zhang Zian pointed to the living room, "Richard is inside."

Pushing open the door of the living room, Richard was standing on the window sill looking out from a distance.

"Good afternoon, Richard." Sun Xiaomeng greeted.

Richard turned her head, she couldn't see what it looked like because of the backlight.

"Good afternoon, doctor. You changed your clothes today."

Sun Xiaomeng lowered her head, "Oh, you mean a white coat? It's cold outside today, and you'll catch a cold if you go out in that. Does Richard like white coats?"

Richard looked out the window again, "No, doctor, I don't like white coats."

Zhang Zian sat silently on the sofa without speaking.

Sun Xiaomeng was a little at a loss, Richard's attitude seemed a little cold today, is it because she hasn't come over these days, so it is angry?

She walked slowly,

Seeing that it has no objection, stand beside it and look out along its line of sight.

Richard was looking at the green space behind the pet shop. Since it was already late autumn, the green space was withered and yellow, only the evergreen pines and cypresses remained the same. Several sparrows landed on the benches in the green area, competing to eat the grass seeds and dried wild fruits blown by the wind.

"Does Richard like birds?" she asked.

Richard nodded. "I'm a bird, doctor."

I'm a bird, so isn't it normal to like birds? She is so understanding.

"It's hard to be locked in the house, isn't it? Noise, dust, and cats... Do you want to go out and play? Change the environment?" She asked tentatively.

Just as Richard was about to answer, a wild cat jumped out of the withered grass next to the bench like lightning, and pressed an unlucky sparrow under its paws, and the other sparrows fled away screaming and terrified. The wild cat lowered its head, then looked up, only a pool of blood and a few feathers remained on the bench. The wild cat licked its lips, stared coldly at another group of sparrows on the wall, and then jumped back into the grass and disappeared. The undeveloped brains of the sparrows quickly forgot this horrible scene.

Sun Xiaomeng: "..." Why such a coincidence?

"Doctor, you..." Richard's expression seemed to be smiling, as if he wanted to comfort her, but his words were interrupted by a series of coughing sounds, "Crack, click, click, click, click..."

Its cough sounded a bit like a child's cough, except that it was shorter and sharper, and its chest rose and fell rapidly. Every time it coughed, the cluster of red tail feathers would flutter up and down.

It was not easy to distinguish between a parrot's cough and a sneeze. Zhang Zian hadn't had much contact with a parrot before, and this was the first time he heard such a sound. He was taken aback and asked, "Is this a cough or a sneeze?"

Of course he was asking the only veterinarian present.

Sun Xiaomeng frowned, and said with certainty, "It's a cough, not a sneeze."

"Is there anything wrong?" Zhang Zian stood up from the sofa.

"Richard, are you okay?" Sun Xiaomeng approached Richard and asked with concern.

"It's okay, doctor, it's just... you know, it's too dusty." Richard stopped coughing and said nonchalantly.

Sun Xiaomeng turned to Zhang Zian, "Has Richard ever had a cough before?"

"It...not really." Zhang Zian said uncertainly, because he was busy with the construction team for the past few days to communicate with the decoration matters, and had no time to take care of other matters. And Richard doesn't like to be interrupted when he's training two red-faced parrots, unless he's called to help. So he really didn't know if it had coughed before, anyway, this was the first time he heard it.

"I'm fine, doctor, don't worry, I'm just choking." Richard's voice was the same as usual, with a round accent, neither hoarse nor nasal.

"..." Sun Xiaomeng was not satisfied with Zhang Zian's perfunctory answer, but Richard was right, the dust was indeed a bit heavy, after all, it was under renovation, and she was choked by the dust when she passed through the first floor just now Coughed a few times.

"It's too cold in your room." She mentioned the matter again, "Can't you find a way to make it warmer?"

Zhang Zian really didn't feel cold, but he remembered that several mornings ago, Richard was complaining about the cold. At that time, he thought it was a joke as usual, so he didn't take it seriously. Speaking of its African origin, it has neither clothes nor long hair. It is indeed the first among the pet shop residents to feel cold.

"Okay, I'll go to the supermarket to buy an electric heater in a while." He said.

He plugged it in and tried it a few days ago, only to find out that the electric heater left by his parents last winter broke down at some point and could not heat. He has always wanted to buy a few new ones, and put one in each house. But there are so many things these days, he always forgets.

"Don't wait a while, go buy it now." Sun Xiaomeng's tone was full of complaints, "You have rough skin and thick flesh and are not afraid of the cold, pets can't bear it."

Zhang Zian thought about this, why not use free coolies?

He got through to Wang Qian and Li Kun, and asked them to go to the supermarket to buy electric heaters. They asked for brand-name heaters with strong heating performance.

When Zhang Zian called, Sun Xiaomeng asked Richard again, "Is it really all right?"

"I'm fine, doctor," Richard insisted.

When Zhang Zian hung up the phone, Sun Xiaomeng was about to say something, when her own cell phone rang.

"Hello?" She answered the phone.

"Sister Xiaomeng, a customer's dog's leg is broken... No, no, that's not what I mean. I mean the customer's dog's leg is broken. It's urgent. Come back quickly." Long Xian was anxious on the phone To put it bluntly, a male customer's loud complaints can be heard from the back video-"How do you talk?"

"Okay, just tell the customer, and I'll go back right away." Sun Xiaomeng knew that Longxian was still too young, and he would be at a loss whenever something happened, and he was far from being alone.
