Incurable Chapter 6 Part 1

Liu Qianxiu drove Mu Wan and Zhongfen to the pet hospital. After entering the hospital, Mu Wan immediately spoke with the doctor about what Zhongfen was going through. The doctor then took Zhongfen away while Liu Qianxiu and Mu Wan rested in the lounge.

The lounge is separated by glass with a round table and two chairs inside. Through the glass doors, they could see that the doctor was examining Zhongfen.

After filming, Mu Wan returned and fed the three kittens powdered milk. Datou and Ertong eat really well, while Zhongfen has a moderate appetite. After eating a little, Zhongfen vomited.

Not only vomiting, but Zhongfen definitely doesn’t look energetic. The other two kittens were crawling and rolling around the cat’s litter. Zhongfen buried his head in the corner of the cat’s litter and only exposed his bottom. Mu Wan fed Zhongfen twice, but he vomited every time he ate, making Mu Wan nervous.

Newborn kittens who do not receive milk from their mother will have a peculiarly low immune system. They could die if Mu Wan wasn’t paying attention and being cautious. Zhongfen vomited the milk and didn’t look well. Mu Wan changes her clothes and is ready to go to the pet hospital with Zhongfen, but she runs into Liu Qianxiu when she is out.

After entering the waiting room, the two sat on either side of the round table, their eyes fixed upon the veterinarian in the examination room. There was no communication between them.

“How did you find my house?”

A voice sounded in the waiting room for the first time, and Liu Qianxiu looked to the side. He saw a woman holding her hand on the table and staring flatly at him. However, when he saw her, she smiled, and her lips raised.

“The ambulance picking up patients in the emergency department records patient addresses.” Liu Qianxiu said.

“Oh.” Suddenly, Mu Wan’s eyes drooped slightly. She squeezed her fingers and then raised her eyes with a negotiating expression: “I asked you in the hospital last time, and you said that this is not your cat.”

So he has no right to take it back. That’s an off-the-cuff remark.

“Hmm.” Liu Qianxiu heard it, but his expression remained calm. Then not for long, he said: “But you can’t take good care of them.”

Liu Qianxiu’s words were like a crushing blow to him. Mu Wan slightly licked her lower lip, turning her head towards the veterinarian examining Zhongfen. She saw that Zhongfen was randomly kicking the doctor with his claws. The glass door blocked the sound, but Mu Wan could tell from observing its movements that Zhongfen was screaming.

“This is my first time having pets, and I will do my best to raise them.”

“The kittens are too small to be kept and can easily die if not cared for properly.”

Mu Wan was left speechless again because he was right. Mu Wan couldn’t sleep well today because the kittens were on the bed. She woke up several times each night to look at them. She was afraid the kittens would accidentally die if she didn’t pay close attention. Mu Wan wasn’t really a soft-hearted person. She had never owned a pet before and didn’t want to keep one. Currently, these three kittens are still too young and hard to raise. Besides, this breed of cat was everywhere on the streets. It would be better if she gave them back to Liu Qianxiu. Then she bought another cat that was prettier and easier to raise.

But the reality is different. These three accompanied Mu Wan for several days and melted into her empty life. Mu Wan is their foster mother, but she feels like their real mother. Their mother died as soon as they were born, and their dependence on her was strong, which gave Mu Wan great satisfaction. Each morning she was awakened by a gentle little meow, and their voices were more comfortable than the first ray of sunshine.

Love is easy to cultivate, but it is hard to get rid of them. Mu Wan actually wanted to raise the three of them.

Mu Wan tries to think of a solution, but she fails. Mu Wan calmed down by turning his thoughts to Liu Qianxiu. She didn’t really understand his behavior at all. He came to her house only to ask for the kittens. He only feeds the calico cat once in a while. Why did he cling to the three kittens and not leave them alone? Don’t Taoist believers, all selfless, have no desires and demands?

She could not think, and she didn’t know why. Mu Wan frowned and asked, “Then what do you want?”

Liu Qianxiu looked into Mu Wan’s eyes, and that woman’s pretty eyes were bright and sharp, without any courtesy. He didn’t care about it, and his voice remained quiet.

“I’ll raise them first, and when they grow up, you can take them back. If you’re worried, you can come to my house and see them whenever you want.”

In the lounge, the air was too cold. The man sitting there had cold white skin, bright facial features, and a slender figure. He seemed to have no expression, just like the ethereal and lonely immortal in the fairy hall with a layer of smoke.

Mu Wan raised her arm, and her body leaned towards Liu Qianxiu. She stopped moving when her body was a fist away from him.

“Doctor Liu, did you know me before?” Mu Wan’s light words were like ribbons floating on the water with clear and shallow ripples.

Her elbows propped her arms, and Mu Wan wore a dark green sling around her neck. Under the sling, Liu Qianxiu could see her snow-white skin and half-exposed delicate collarbones. He could see her straight shoulders and her beautiful bones too. She also has black pupils that are clear and reflect her face.

She was looking at him, and her eyes carefully described his eyes. His slender eye tip, as clear as mountains and rivers, lingering like clouds and mist, naturally reveals a sense of elegance and purity, and the contradiction returns to one.

Liu Qianxiu lowered his eyes, and a faint scent of a woman poured out. He looked into her reddish eyes and watery eyes. In his low voice, which sounded like a spring hitting a pot, he said, “Why do you say that?”

Why do you say that?

Mu Wan retracted his body and tapped her finger gently on the table.

Lin Wei said that he was cold-tempered and hardly connected with others. But after her emergency admission to the hospital, seeing her birthmark, encountering her at dinner, goes to her house to look for kittens, Mu Wan feels he doesn’t seem too cold-hearted or indifferent to her.

However, there are traces of what he has done. He may mistake the birthmark for a wound. He took Mu Wan back to the hospital at dinner because she was the patient. He came to her home in person because she refused his request to return the kitten on the phone at noon.

He didn’t come to him looking for a cat, but he didn’t want the kitten to die.

Instead of answering, she said, “You haven’t answered my question.”

“I don’t know you before.” Liu Qianxiu replied, “I just want them to survive.”

With her arm retracted from the table, the distance between them widened. Mu Wan smiled. Her smile is gentle and bright.

“Okay. Thank you then.”
