Chapter 10: How Did You Do It?
"Sorry, just now... I..." He Dong and Lin Xuan sat in the taxi, their hands had naturally separated, but the atmosphere between them became somewhat unnatural. He Dong was afraid that Lin Xuan would misunderstand him, so he wanted to explain.
"Today you must help me buy a pot of real Chun Jian Cai Shen!" Lin Xuan didn't know why, but she directly interrupted He Dong's apologetic words.
"No problem, I guarantee the completion of the task!" He Dong was slightly stunned at first, then immediately looked at Lin Xuan with joy, patting his chest loudly.
Tianyang University is not far from the Flower Bird Market, and it's just a ten-minute drive by taxi. However, perhaps because of the ambiguous atmosphere between them that had not yet completely dissipated, both chose to remain silent for the entire journey.
But as the two got out of the taxi, looking around, the whole street was filled with all sorts of gorgeous flowers, and from time to time, they could even hear the distant chirping of birds. Suddenly, their mood lightened up, and without saying a word, they exchanged a glance, both breaking into joyful smiles.
The flower and bird market is actually a pet market that combines various flowers, ornamental plants, cats, dogs, birds, fish and other pets. The area is very large and crowded with all sorts of people. He Dong and Lin Xuan wandered around for half a day before finally buying a pot of Chun Jian Cai Shen that Lin Xuan fell in love with, thanks to He Dong's familiarity with flowers.
"He Dong, thank you so much this time! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have spent so little money to buy this pot of Chun Jian Cai Shen!" Lin Xuan said with gratitude and joy, hugging the newly bought Chun Jian Cai Shen.
"No need to be polite, I'm here today to help you, aren't I?" He Dong said with a smile.
"That's also thanks to you. It's almost noon, I'll treat you to lunch!" Lin Xuan said to He Dong.
"This... okay! Since the beauty has invited me with such enthusiasm, I'd be impolite to decline!" He Dong hesitated for a moment, but ultimately agreed with delight, after all, having dinner with a beauty was still a delightful experience.
"I know there's a great place nearby, their dishes are especially good, let's go..." As soon as He Dong agreed to his own invitation, Lin Xuan immediately started introducing him enthusiastically.
Just as Lin Xuan was speaking with great enthusiasm, she suddenly found that He Dong's face changed abruptly, and he quickened his pace to walk towards a pet hospital by the road.
He Dong's actions were quite abrupt, but they also piqued Lin Xuan's curiosity. After getting to know him for some time, Lin Xuan knew that He Dong wasn't a rude person, so he must have had his reasons for doing this.
The pet hospital was very large, and when He Dong and Lin Xuan walked in, they saw that there were more than a dozen people waiting for their pets to be treated in the first-floor lobby. The pets were also diverse, with various cats and dogs, not to mention that He Dong even saw a pretty woman holding a lizard over half a meter long in her arms.
Looking at these pets waiting for a diagnosis, He Dong's eyes turned green, all of which were summoning points.
"He Dong, what are you doing here?" Lin Xuan was somewhat puzzled, because He Dong became visibly excited after entering this pet hospital.
"You forgot, I'm a veterinary student, so when I see these sick pets, my hands get itchy!" He Dong said with an expression of being obsessed with the field of veterinary medicine.
"Is your hand itchy? Can this make your hand itchy too? But even if you really are itchy, what can be done about it?" Lin Xuan almost laughed out loud after hearing He Dong's explanation.
"Hey, have you seen that male veterinarian over there? Look at his impatient expression and how he keeps glancing at his watch. You can tell he's in a hurry, but the work here has him stuck. If I were to go over and offer my help for free, do you think he'd let me get hands-on experience?" He Dong said mysteriously.
"This...this is really hard to say!" Lin Xuan said hesitantly.
If it were a regular hospital for treating humans, He Dong's words would definitely be taken as a joke, but here is a privately run animal hospital, and his approach can actually work.
"Let's try it and see," said He Dong, walking straight towards the target.
Lin Xuan was shocked to see that, without knowing what He Dong and the other person had said, the man actually gave up his position to He Dong with a happy and willing expression. He Dong sat down there with an air of dignity and began to treat the pets who came for examination.
"Sister, your baby just caught a cold! To recover quickly, get an injection, of course, taking medicine is also fine. And if you mix with dogs and wolves for three days, it'll be almost cured!"
"Big brother, this Siberian Husky is really beautiful, and judging from its spirit, it shouldn't have any illness. As for what you said about not growing well, I think maybe you haven't dewormed it regularly? Let me prescribe two deworming pills for it to try!"
"Brother, this is a Chilean rose hair tarantula. Since it's a desert species, it's adaptable and easy to care for, and it can withstand hunger quite well. Don't worry if it doesn't eat for several days, or even half a year. However, don't think that just because it's a desert species, it doesn't like water. This rose hair tarantula is clearly dehydrated. Take it back and put it in a water bowl to recover for a week before feeding again. It would be best to feed it something with more movement, such as crickets."
“……!”
He Dong quickly got into the role, and although he's only a junior now, due to his hard work in his daily studies, his professional knowledge is very solid, so he sat there and smoothly received several pet owners who came for consultations.
Looking at the people who came to see a doctor leaving with joy, holding or leading their pets, He Dong's mood also got better and better. Under his secret attention, the summoning point was rising step by step and had already reached seven points, which meant that He Dong could perform a first-level summon again.
However, He Dong did not immediately make the summoning, after all, neither the time nor the place allowed it now. Besides, there were still five or six people waiting for their pets to be diagnosed behind him, and these were all precious summoning points in He Dong's eyes.
Moreover, He Dong still had a small wish at this time, that was to see what it would be like to directly summon a second-level pet when the pet shop exceeded ten o'clock.
Of course, it's not that He Dong has looked down on first-class pets, mainly because he is now in a stage of exploration for summoning space, so he wants to experience all levels of pets.
After more than an hour of effort, He Dong finally treated all the pets that needed to be rescued, and his summoning points had accumulated to as many as nine, which made He Dong so excited that his hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably.
It was at this moment that Lin Xuan, who had been waiting on the side all along, finally had the opportunity to walk over and ask He Dong with a surprised expression, "How did you do it?"
