“Hello.” As Mu Wan spoke, her forehead was a little itchy. She scratched it, and sweat ran down her fingertips.
“I’m Liu Qianxiu.” The man’s voice was still so deep, like a spring on a mountain, which sounded refreshing.
It’s a little strange.
Today is Monday, and the little nurse said he would return to the hospital on Monday. Mu Wan remembered that when discharged from the hospital, she told Lin Wei she would treat Liu Qianxiu to dinner when he returned. But as soon as she was filming, she was too busy to remember.
“You’re back. I’m sorry for the last time, and thank you very much.” Mu Wan squatted down. The heat in her costume rushed up, and her face became warmer. She smiled and said politely, “I’ve recovered from my injury. How about I treat you to dinner after work today?”
“No.” The rejection was to the point.
The smile on Mu Wan’s face was like the clouds curling up in the sky. Her tone was still bright, and she asked straightforwardly, “Oh, why do you call me?”
Liu Qianxiu sat in the office, which was so quiet that only the crisp sound of paper could be heard. His tone was calm and soft yet concise.
“The cats.”
When he said this, Mu Wan understood. He is so familiar with the calico cat that he probably knows that it is pregnant. After returning from vacation, Liu Qianxiu found the calico cat dead. The surveillance video revealed that she had taken the calico cat’s kitten away.
But when they first met, Mu Wan asked him if the cat belonged to him, and he said that the calico cat was not his cat. Then, he had no right to take the calico cat’s kitten.
The tongue tip touched the gum slightly, and Mu Wan smiled, calm and breezy.
“Oh? Which one do you want?”
Her voice was like a flower. The petals were tight when she answered the phone. Then, the petals opened gradually. Exuding to the unique fragrance of women, she became a cat again.
Her voice in his ear overlaps with the memory in the corridor. The woman’s soft body was in his arms. Her slender arms tightened, and her body was steaming from alcohol. She was drunk and forgot about this, but Liu Qianxiu still remembers.
The air conditioner finally blew up one page of the notebook at hand. The A4 paper was thin and white, with a printed form. The fonts are neat and contain the name, telephone number, and address.
Liu Qianxiu didn’t answer Mu Wan’s question, so the deputy director called for filming. Mu Wan recovered his mood, and her voice returned to normal.
“I am sorry, doctor Liu. The cat belongs to me, and I can’t give it to you. If there is nothing wrong, I will go to work first.”
Then, she hung up the phone.
When Liu Qianxiu went to work in the afternoon, the little nurse and the head nurse met, and the topic became the best deal in Taobao’s mid-year promotion. He never mentioned the calico cat again. After sighing, the death of the calico cat was like a rime on the tree. It fell into people’s memory silently like snow with no trace.
He had an operation in the afternoon. After signing, Liu Qianxiu left work at the appointed time. He got into the car, the car started, got out of the hospital, and disappeared in the traffic jam coming home from work.
It was sunny this morning. The asphalt ground has returned to dry and hot after being exposed to the sun for a day, but the soil ground is only half-dried. The dark brown soil has grown some weeds and is full of vitality under the shade of triangle maple.
This community is dilapidated in comparison to Nanfeng Apartments. This community is dilapidated in comparison to Nanfeng Apartments. The sun was clear and shining through the trees’ tops against the mottled walls, giving off a sense of decay. The electric poles stand against the wall, and the wires on the rough floor are straight and complicated, connecting one building after another. Birds occasionally landed on the aerial antenna hanging between the two buildings.
Liu Qianxiu walked into the first building in the second row of the community. The corridor was very dark, and a sense of mildew and dampness hadn’t dried. The white paint on the handrails had fallen off, and the mottled rust fell like spots on quail eggshells.
The house here is too old. The entrance is a staircase, and the basement is beside the stairs. The basement entrance was dark and quiet, with some debris piled next to it. The stair steps are not high, the platform’s edges are smooth, and we no longer know how many people stepped on them.
The corridor is very cramped, and a small window on the platform connects the two floors. The small window was washed clean after a few days of rain. Sunlight enters through the glass, cutting the ground into different light pieces.
As Liu Qianxiu approached the third floor, he heard the sound of the door opening. He stood on the platform between the second and third floors. He lifted his head and looked up.
Mu Wan was standing on the stairs. She wore a green waistcoat and denim shorts, her hair tied up, revealing her white and straight collarbone. On the slender neck, the palm-sized face is charming and bright. But her brows have slightly frowned. After seeing Liu Qianxiu, her brows stretched a little bit.
The man stood in the backlight. His facial features are great under his cold white skin, and his temperament is light. He stood in the narrow and cramped corridor, like porcelain buried on a sunken ship under the sea. With only a corner illuminated by light, it was difficult to hide his nobility.
Mu Wan looked at him. Her red lips moved slightly, and her voice echoed in the corridor.
“Doctor Liu, are you looking for me?”
Without answering her question, Liu Qianxiu’s eyes focused on her arms, a turquoise blanket wrapped in a black and white baby cat.
“What’s wrong with it?” Liu Qianxiu asked.
Mu Wan lowered her head and looked at Zhongfen in her arms, her lips pressed slightly, and her voice lowered.
“It’s not so good.”
The author has something to say:
Mu Wan: Oh? Which one do you want?
Liu Daochang: The unbehaved one.
