Chapter 755: 741, Help deliver kittens with him! (1)
That same evening, in the male dormitory of Zijing No. 1 building, Huo Feng received an invitation from Pu Sangzhi.
She asked him to accompany her tomorrow to be with the chubby orange cat while it gave birth...
Huo Feng wasn’t particularly fond of small animals like cats and dogs. But since Pu Sangzhi adored them so much, Huo Feng felt obliged to accompany her!
He knew that if he didn’t go, Brother Ye Xi would take advantage of the situation.
So, he agreed to Pu Sangzhi’s invitation and also mentally prepared to face Ye Xi the next day!
After all...
He had sneakily read through Ye Xi’s diary.
Although it might seem a bit unscrupulous...
But Huo Feng was very clear about the little schemes in that dog Ye Xi’s mind, and he felt a strong sense of crisis!
The other guys in the dorm hadn’t gone to sleep either, and were intermittently chatting while fiddling with their phones.
Gu Erhao had added that pretty waitress on WeChat tonight, and was now chatting with her passionately.
To avoid exposing his own low EQ, whenever Gu Erhao encountered a tough message to respond to, he would ask Huo Feng what to say.
"Feng, she asked me, ’Have you hit on girls like this before?’ How should I respond properly?" Gu Erhao asked.
Huo Feng, who was thinking about the Ye Xi matter, casually replied to Gu Erhao, "Just say it’s your first time hitting on someone, you didn’t have a dance partner today, and you couldn’t resist talking to her because she looked so cute. Then thank her for being willing to chat with you and for making your evening."
"Yeah! That sounds great, Feng!"
Gu Erhao nodded, obediently typed the message, and sent it to the girl.
On the other side, Gu Yihao was feeling restless listening to Gu Erhao’s various noises, unable to focus on playing with his phone.
Gu Yihao tossed and turned for a long while, feeling uncomfortable no matter how he lay.
Unable to hold back, Gu Yihao finally spoke out to Gu Erhao, "Gu Erhao, would you stop acting like it’s the real deal? The dance is over, and you’re still in touch with her. The key point is she’s not even a student, just a part-timer! If mom finds out, she’s going to scold you for sure!"
"What’s the matter, jealous~?"
Gu Erhao didn’t take Gu Yihao’s words seriously, "She’s my trophy from tonight~ And she’s not just working there, she said she and her best friend co-founded that little shop—it’s more like a partnership."
"So what?"
Gu Yihao retorted skeptically, "The food isn’t even good, the place won’t last long."
Gu Erhao countered, "The girl is just starting her business; it’s not easy. She managed to secure an order quota from the student council and even came over to waitress in person! She heard about the students’ complaints that the egg tarts weren’t tasty, that’s why she went to eat the leftovers from other people’s plates. Look at that dedication, how precious!"
"You’re just getting caught up in the heat of the moment. Once you cool down, who knows how much you’ll start disliking the girl!" Gu Yihao grumbled, clearly not optimistic about Gu Erhao’s prospects with the waitress girl.
Undeterred, Gu Erhao simply said, "We’ll worry about the future when it comes."
After speaking, Gu Erhao suddenly got excited and called out to Huo Feng in a high-pitched voice, "Feng, Feng, she’s saying she’s going to sleep. Should I take this chance to ask her out?"
"No need to be so obvious with your intentions."
Huo Feng sighed, "Just let her sleep. Tomorrow’s Saturday, find some time to patronize her shop, then casually suggest meeting up with her. That’s it, I’m off to sleep too."
"Ah, what a brilliant idea! Totally worthy of Feng!"
Gu Erhao totally agreed with the strategy Huo Feng suggested!
Deep down, he admitted that there was a reason why Huo Feng could land such a great girlfriend!
So, Gu Erhao obediently bid the girl farewell.
He planned to spruce himself up the next day and head to her shop to flirt...
Ah~
This damned, irrepressible male charm of his!
...
The following day was Saturday.
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng arrived early at Ye Xi’s dorm to accompany the orange cat through its labor.
They came really early.
But when they arrived, Ye Xi was already gone.
Pu Sangzhi called Ye Xi, and he told her he went to the nearby market to buy some fresh ingredients to make post-birth meals for the cat.
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng arriving early put Ye Xi’s mind at ease.
He was actually worried that something might happen to the cat while he was out.
Because the night before, he had noticed some red fluid behind the cat’s bottom and had thought it might give birth overnight.
Ye Xi barely slept the second half of the night.
But having stayed up most of the night to no avail, Ye Xi changed clothes early in the morning and went out intending to buy some fish and chicken from the campus market, planning to cook for the cat.
He figured that after giving birth, the cat would probably need to recuperate, and cat food might not provide sufficient nutrition, so it was better to prepare some fresh food.
Ye Xi explained the situation to Pu Sangzhi over the phone in simple terms, and Sangzhi, who was at the dorm, heeded his words, finding some obstetric tools on the desk.
Ye Xi was very thorough.
The tools were fully prepared: disposable gloves, iodophor, scissors, tissues, trash can.
The maternity ward for the orange cat was also well set up, with a large cardboard box containing blankets and pet pee pads.
The orange cat, sensing the impending birth, obediently stayed in the maternity ward, occasionally meowing, though it was unclear if she was in pain.
"Brother Ye Xi said that these obstetric tools are sterile, and to not open them now, to wait and open them only when needed."
Pu Sangzhi placed the obstetric tools within easy reach of the maternity ward, while keeping an eye on the orange cat, she spoke with Huo Feng.
Huo Feng, with one hand propped under his chin, watched the cat in the cardboard box with some boredom, "A cat giving birth needs so much meticulous care..."
"Of course."
Pu Sangzhi nodded naturally, "Brother Ye Xi is meticulous in everything he does. Whatever task he is given, as long as he agrees to it, he will do it to the best of his ability, even if it’s a trivial matter."
"Oh..."
Huo Feng’s response was muted.
Now hearing her praise Ye Xi, Huo Feng felt suffocated inside.
Sigh...
His damned jealousy!
"What’s the matter with you?"
Pu Sangzhi, sensing his boring response, nudged him with her elbow, "Jealous again?"
Huo Feng furrowed his brows, not directly admitting it, but said, "I’m also very meticulous, you know. Look, every time we go out, I plan everything perfectly and never let you get tired, right?"
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and chuckled lightly, "Petty."
Huo Feng glanced at her sidelong, "Just petty, very petty, always petty!"
Pu Sangzhi laughed without replying but was in a good mood.
After a while, Ye Xi came back.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng squatting by the large box, "Did she give birth?"
"Brother Ye Xi..."
Pu Sangzhi turned to look at him and hurriedly said, "Not yet."
"You guys keep watch, I’ll cook the chicken and fish." Ye Xi said.
He then busied himself with the newly bought ingredients.
There was no kitchen in the single dorm room, but Ye Xi had bought a small cooking pot. When he had some free time, he could cook some tremella soup or mixed grain porridge.
Whenever he could, Ye Xi’s life was detailed in every aspect.
That time, while Ye Xi was cooking chicken on the balcony, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng were in the room, keeping company with the orange cat undergoing contractions.
They couldn’t help much and could only wait and keep her company.
No one knew how much time had passed when suddenly, the orange cat gave birth to the first kitten!
"Ah!"
Pu Sangzhi exclaimed excitedly then, "It’s born, Brother Ye Xi, she gave birth!"
Huo Feng was also excited, but when she called out to Ye Xi first, Huo Feng’s eyes immediately narrowed, glancing sideways at her...
Pu Sangzhi didn’t notice the disdainful look Huo Feng was giving her.
"I’m here."
Ye Xi hurried in from the balcony, calmly opening the sterile pack by his side, skillfully put on the sterile gloves, then picked up the scissors and immediately helped with the iodophor, cut the umbilical cord, ripped the placenta...
Originally, the orange cat was silently licking the placenta, which it could have removed in this way without human intervention.
But when Ye Xi intervened, the orange cat just "meowed" at him once and then fell silent, quietly laying on one side.
Ye Xi processed the newborn kitten swiftly, and after he was done, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but exclaimed, "Another one came out, the second one..."
Ye Xi continued calmly with the second kitten, with equally smooth movements, clean and efficient.
Soon, the third, fourth, and fifth kittens were born one after the other within the next span of time, each emerging about ten minutes or just a few minutes apart...
Ye Xi processed each kitten one by one, with a serious expression and in complete silence.
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng occasionally glanced at him, both impressed by his professionalism.
Only Ye Xi himself could feel the sweat on his tense back, his nerves stretched taut!
In the end, the chubby orange cat had given birth to six kittens, one was stillborn, five survived, and she herself was safe...
When the birth was over, the people waiting at her side also breathed a sigh of relief...
