Starting with taking in female college students

Ni Youlin really loves cats.

Even when DouDou suddenly attacked her, jumping from behind onto her back and then climbing onto her shoulder, Ni Youlin only quickly braced herself to prevent DouDou from falling, without making any move to drive her away.

DouDou pawed at her head with its two front paws and stood on her shoulders with its hind legs, striking a lookout pose; she remained obediently with her head down, letting this little rascal mess around on her head and rummage through her hair.

This girl is undoubtedly a very suitable adopter.

Chen Rang felt more and more that Ni Youlin was very suitable to adopt all the cats in the clinic. He would also guarantee that he would cure all the little guys and that the cats handed over to her would be healthy and lively.

Unfortunately, despite several attempts, Ni Youlin consistently refused to agree.

Chen Rang felt somewhat regretful.

He patiently waited until the doll finished its IV drip, disinfected the indwelling needle, checked its fixation, and then re-tied it before packing his things and coming to this room.

"Meow!"

When DouDou saw Chen Rang, she called out and then leaped off Ni Youlin's back.

This guy was quite strong; his kick sent Ni Youlin staggering. She almost fell to her knees, landing on her hands. She looked up, somewhat embarrassed, and when she saw Chen Rang, she showed a mix of awkwardness and fear.

"You little rascal!"

Chen Rang chuckled and scolded Dou Dou.

Seeing that the guy showed no remorse whatsoever, I used my toe to push him further away.

"Ah~"

Ni Youlin felt sorry for her and tried to stop her, but she didn't have the courage. She could only look up slightly and let out a gasp.

Chen Rang looked at the silly girl who was willingly bullied by the cat, shook his head and greeted her, "I haven't seen you for several days. Have you been busy lately? By the way, if DouDou dares to go too far again, just slap it and it will behave."

"No...no need."

Ni Youlin quickly stood up, supporting herself on her knees, and said softly with her head down, "Dou... Dou Dou is very good, and I'm fine. Um... I was a little busy the past few days, and I went... went home for a while. I'm sorry for making you worry."

"..."

Chen Rang was speechless.

What is he worried about?

Sensing that this girl had a people-pleasing personality, Chen Rang gave up on trying to persuade her not to become a cat slave, and instead asked curiously, "I thought something was wrong at school! It's summer vacation, why didn't you stay and play for a few more days before coming back after school starts?"

"I……"

Ni Youlin was about to speak but held back, pursing her lips and lowering her head, just like a primary school student being criticized by a teacher, completely afraid to speak.

Chen Rang couldn't stand the girl's timid demeanor, but he also felt that he had met her several times before, and she would stay in the clinic for one or two hours each time. The total time they spent together was not short, so they could be considered acquaintances.

So, unable to hold back any longer, he bluntly said, "Your personality is no good. You just make people want to bully you. You can be a little bolder. It's like I'm some kind of bad guy."

"sorry……"

Ni Youlin still only knows how to apologize.

Chen Rang was even more troubled.

He remembered the first time he saw Ni Youlin; she was with two friends, and at least she could talk to them. Why was it that now that the other two were gone, all she did was apologize? She had to apologize even when she hadn't done anything wrong?

Communicating with people like that is really troublesome!

Chen Rang wanted to turn around and leave her alone, just like before; watching the cats and playing with them, neither of them would bother the other, so there was nothing wrong with it.

But how should I put it?

It feels really awkward!

Everyone says that guests are always welcome, and ignoring a guest might not bother the other person, but Chen Rang felt very uncomfortable. Besides, they were acquaintances, and he was still somewhat worried, wondering if the girl had been bullied or something.

After thinking for a moment, he did the same as before, poured Ni Youlin a cup of hot water and placed it on the small table next to her.

If he doesn't offer to pour water, the girl will definitely not pour it herself.

"Thanks."

Ni Youlin whispered her thanks, then glanced furtively at Chen Rang, who had retreated to the counter, before carefully crouching down again. Xiao Manjikang, who had been waiting impatiently, quickly stepped forward, and she immediately broke into a happy smile.

"Tsk!"

Chen Rang curled his lip in disdain.

He checked his phone and found that the game console charging cable was still on its way.

Looking at a few group chats on WeChat, the university groups are full of nonsense every day, and nobody talks about technical or professional stuff.

Even among the students in the class, very few were able to find jobs related to their major. Apart from a few who stayed on campus or took the postgraduate entrance exam, most of the others chose jobs unrelated to veterinary medicine, which is quite regrettable.

Difficulty in finding employment remains the biggest pain point for agricultural universities. Despite their decent academic standing, they are often perceived as inferior, with people equating them with farmers.

"Why!"

Chen Rang sighed in boredom.

"that……"

At that moment, he suddenly heard Ni Youlin's voice.

Looking up, Ni Youlin was holding little Mankikang in her arms, her fingers still stroking the bandage on the little guy's hind leg, but she had already stood up and was looking at him.

"Um?"

Chen Rang was too lazy to be polite anymore, because he realized that if he was too polite, the guy would only get more nervous.

"I wanted to ask, how's that cat cafe doing now? Um... have they found the owner yet?"

Ni Youlin's speech became much smoother.

Chen Rang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't get your hopes up too high. That guy has definitely already run away. And you probably won't get your thousand yuan back. Even if the police catch him, he probably won't be able to come up with a single penny."

That's not what I meant.

Ni Youlin shook her head, but did not show any sign of distress.

She pursed her pale lips, looking down at the little Munchkin in her arms, and said, "There were twenty-one cats in the cat café, but now there are only seven left. I'm worried about the other cats. And also..."

Looking at Chen Rang, Ni Youlin lowered her voice and said, "You keep saying you want to send them away. I'd like to ask, could you please not do that? They're so pitiful, can't they stay with you? Um... if you don't mind the trouble, I can pay for their food and care."

"What do you mean, you're very rich?"

Chen Rang shifted his position to face Ni Youlin, crossed his legs, and laughed, "Since you like them, why don't you just adopt them yourself? Since you're willing to pay for their upbringing, wouldn't it be better to hire someone to take care of them?"

"..."

Ni Youlin lowered her head and remained silent.

After a long pause, she mustered her courage again and cautiously asked, "Um... would two thousand yuan be alright?"

Chen Rang's lips twitched slightly, feeling that this guy was insulting him.

Is this a matter of money?

Although he was indeed tempted by two thousand yuan a month, damn it, it would be so embarrassing to talk about this kind of thing out loud, wouldn't it? It would make it seem like he had become this woman's employee, getting two thousand yuan a month just to take care of her cat?

Besides, so what if you're rich!

Chen Rang was very unhappy.

He immediately asked for two thousand yuan, making it seem like all his efforts to serve these ancestors and send them away were for money.

But that's not the case at all!

To say he hates these little guys wouldn't be quite right; sometimes he even finds them rather cute! But to say he likes them wouldn't be quite right either! However, whatever the case, he definitely wasn't doing it for the money!

Otherwise, wouldn't these cats sell? It's not like he doesn't know cat dealers!

Instead of paying attention to Ni Youlin, Chen Rang unlocked his phone, opened an internal app, and started watching medical videos.

"Regarding cat anatomy..."

The sound from the video startled Ni Youlin, making her shudder. The little Mankikang in her arms seemed uncomfortable and reached out its paws to paw at her chest, which finally diverted her attention.

But after all this, I could no longer bring myself to say what I really wanted to say to the doctor.

Ni Youlin felt utterly dejected.

Actually… she didn’t mean to insult people with money! But… but she had nothing else besides this. Everything that ordinary people could have was a luxury for her; only these cats remained so comforting.

Raising her head to steal a glance at Chen Rang, Ni Youlin repeatedly urged herself to speak. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open her mouth. She could only bite her lip harder and harder, turning her lower lip deathly pale.

"call……"

Chen Rang let out a long breath; he really couldn't stand it anymore.

What's wrong with this girl? Can't she just say what she wants to say? She either stays silent or tries to bribe people. Doesn't she have any other way of communicating?

"So, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Chen Rang patiently spoke again.
