meow if you are happy

Chapter 159 Confidence Crisis?

"Chi Yan." Xiao Xiu said, "I admit that Dr. Luo does seem to be a very good person. I also admit that he looks gentle and doesn't look like a bad person at all, but... I can't tell. I didn't feel that way before. , thinking about it recently, I always feel that his eyes sometimes make me feel uncomfortable."

"Xiao Xiu." Chi Yan couldn't believe Xiao Xiu's words at all. "Without evidence, how can you conclude that it must be him just based on smell and feeling? Have you ever thought about what if you misunderstood?"

"I believe Luo Jiaxuan, he won't do that." Chi Yan's attitude was very firm.

Chi Yan knew what it was like to be wronged. Without evidence, how could he doubt others for no reason? What's more, that person was Luo Jiaxuan, the only one who stood up to support him when he was wronged.

"You want evidence, right? Just wait, I'll go find Dr. Luo!" Xiao Xiu said and was about to confront Luo Jiaxuan, but was stopped by Chi Yan.

"Xiao Xiu, I know you are very angry because of the fire. Please calm down first, okay?" Chi Yan comforted Xiao Xiu, "Don't be impulsive. There is no use in going to Dr. Luo now. Just give me some time." , I will find out."

"Believe me, I will definitely check it out."

A customer came in, and the conversation about Luo Jiaxuan finally stopped temporarily.After seeing off the customers, Xiao Xiu finally calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that Chi Yan was right. It was indeed inappropriate to go to Luo Jiaxuan so rashly now.

"Didn't eat in the morning." When there were few customers, Chi Yan went out for a trip, and when he came back, he had an extra soup dumpling in his hand, "You go to the lounge to eat something, I'll come to the store."

Xiao Xiu nodded and carried the soup dumpling into the lounge.By the time she finished eating and went out, Chi Yan had already organized the bookshelves in the bookstore that needed to be organized.

Customers came in from time to time in the store. There were very few words between Chi Yan and Xiao Xiu. It was not until lunch that the two began to talk more.

"Lin Mo doesn't know when he will come back?" Xiaoxiu muttered during the meal, "His kitten seems to miss him. When I go home recently, it is always meowing non-stop. I checked Next, there’s cat food and water.”

Although Xiaoxiu is a cat, he has no experience in raising cats.

"It just hasn't seen you for a day and is a little lonely. Please stay with it more when you go back." Chi Yan hasn't raised a cat for a long time, but for some reason, he is particularly skilled at raising cats.

"That's right." Xiao Xiu nodded, but soon she raised her head and looked at Chi Yan, "So, when Chi Yan went to Pochi Bookstore in the past, he always took me with him. Was he afraid that I would be lonely?"

After taking a break, she remembered that Chi Yan had completely forgotten the incident. She lowered her head and started eating again.

Xiaoxiu originally wanted to discuss with Chi Yan about bringing Lin Mo's cat to the store during the day, but suddenly thought that the three-flowered cat was too afraid of humans, and the unfamiliar environment would make it even more panicky.

After eating, Chi Yan went outside to check out the store. After Xiao Xiu packed his things, he simply lay down on the sofa in the lounge. Who knew that he fell asleep while lying down.

"Xiu Xiu." When Chi Yan opened the door, Xiao Xiu's shadow was no longer on the sofa, replaced by a white lion cat, which was sleeping soundly.

Chi Yan took off his coat, covered Xiao Xiu, and walked out quietly.

After going out, Chi Yan called Qin Mingming.At this time, there were not many customers in the store.

"Obviously, I want to know about the fire at the stray animal rescue center." Chi Yan said as he turned on his computer and searched for relevant news reports.

"Why are you interested in this matter?" Although Qin Mingming said this, he quickly agreed to Chi Yan's request, "It's not a confidential document, but I can show it to you later. I'll send it to your email."

"Is it man-made or an accident?" Chi Yan asked directly.

"It's not clear yet, we're still investigating." Qin Mingming added, "The colleague in charge said that human error is not ruled out, but..."

"There was something wrong with the nearby cameras, and no evidence of man-made damage has been found yet."

Qin Mingming didn't say anything else, but Chi Yan also understood.

"Why did you suddenly ask that?" Qin Mingming was a little confused, "What happened?"

"No." Chi Yan thinks it's better to talk about this kind of thing in person. "You send me the relevant information first. I want to confirm something. After I confirm it, I will explain it to you in person, okay?"

Qin Mingming believed in Chi Yan's character, and naturally knew that he must have a reason for not saying anything now. She readily agreed: "Okay."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Chi Yan received information from Qin Mingming.The Stray Animal Rescue Center suffered heavy losses. Hundreds of cats and dogs died. Only a few managed to escape, but they were also seriously burned.

What puzzled Chi Yan was that some cats were lying in strange postures.It stands to reason that cats and dogs are spiritual. After a fire breaks out, they will instinctively run towards the door. But the strange thing is that in many photos, the heads of cats and dogs are in opposite directions.

unless--

The fire started from the door.

Chi Yan was startled by the sudden thought that flashed through his mind.

When he woke up from his short nap, Chi Yan had already read the relevant information sent by Qin Mingming.

"Chi Yan." Xiao Xiu hugged Chi Yan's coat when he came out, "Thank you."

Chi Yan took the coat and closed the computer at the same time: "I'm going out later, can you stay in the store by yourself in the afternoon?"

Xiao Xiu nodded obediently: "Don't worry, I can do it!"

Chi Yan tidied up again before putting on his coat and going out.Chi Yan went to the scene of the fire, but the scene was cordoned off. Chi Yan couldn't get in, so he could only take a look from a distance.

"Chi Yan, why are you here?"

Chi Yan didn't expect to see Luo Jiaxuan near the rescue station.

"I just happened to be passing by. I heard there was a fire here. Come and take a look." Chi Yan looked at Luo Jiaxuan up and down as he said it. Maybe it was because he was outside. Luo Jiaxuan didn't wear a hospital white coat, nor did he look like last time. He was dressed so formally when he went to Pond Bookstore and he wore a set of very casual clothes. If he hadn't taken the initiative to say hello, it would have been difficult for Chi Yan to recognize him immediately.

"What about you?" Chi Yan asked.

"I have a day off today." Luo Jiaxuan looked towards the rescue station, "I also heard that there was a fire here, so I just happened to take a look."

Chi Yan nodded.

After knowing that Luo Jiaxuan hadn't eaten yet, Chi Yan took the initiative to invite him to dinner.Luo Jiaxuan wanted to refuse, but Chi Yan insisted: "I must treat you to this meal. After all, you helped me a lot with the Pond Bookstore. I have been taking care of you all this time, so I should thank you." .”

Hearing what Chi Yan said, Luo Jiaxuan nodded and agreed: "It's okay, we are in a hurry every time we meet and never have a good conversation, so we can take this opportunity to chat together."
