Starting with taking in female college students

"All right."

Chen Rang understood the girl's attitude, shrugged, and stopped pressing her for answers.

He doesn't like to force people to do things they don't want to do. To him, it's not a good thing to cause trouble for people if they don't want to.

Even though he never gave up on getting rid of these cats, he still hoped to give them a good future and not let them suffer misfortune again.

So Chen Rang lowered his head and continued looking at his phone.

"I...I am Ni Youlin."

Ni Youlin remained silent for a long time before finally mustering her courage to speak again.

"Ni Youlin?"

Chen Rang looked up, only then realizing the girl's name. But he was puzzled; he didn't know why she was telling him her name at this moment.

Want to chat?

"Hello!"

He greeted them somewhat lazily.

"I……"

Ni Youlin was stunned for a moment.

All her courage seemed to have been exhausted during that introduction. She was unsure what to say next, especially since Chen Rang didn't seem inclined to initiate a conversation, and she felt a little nervous.

She was like a little kitten, wanting to curl up into a ball and not even have the courage to beg for food.

This appearance piqued Chen Rang's curiosity.

He scrutinized the girl closely, and was somewhat taken aback by her expression, which seemed to be trying to speak but with all her words stuck in her throat.

What's wrong with this girl?

You're supposed to be a college student, how come you don't even have this most basic communication skill?

How did she manage to live to be so old?

Chen Rang couldn't understand it.

He suddenly felt that this girl named Ni Youlin might have a lot of stories hidden inside her.

I found it strange that she was always alone before, and today I saw her being ridiculed by her friends but not daring to talk back; and now she doesn't even respond when a stranger calls her name. Could it be that something really happened because of that greeting?

You got beaten up?

Surely not?

Who would lay a hand on such a beautiful young girl?

Chen Rang was somewhat puzzled.

Seeing the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Chen Rang, not wanting it to continue, quickly pointed to the sofa beside him and said, "If you want to see them, you can sit down and watch in peace. As for the specific condition of these guys, we'll have to wait until all the tests are completed to determine that. You want me to tell you now whether they're still in danger? I can only honestly tell you, I don't know! Cats are fragile creatures; many small problems can lead to death..."

Chen Rang kept rambling on, while Ni Youlin obediently and carefully moved to sit down on the sofa. She only sat on the edge of the sofa, looking as if she was about to stand up and be scolded at any moment.

This made Chen Rang unable to continue speaking, so he simply shut his mouth and ignored her.

Ring ring~

A few minutes later, the landline phone on the counter rang.

When Chen Rang picked up the phone, he heard it was from an elderly customer living nearby who wanted him to come over and check if his dog grandson had any problems.

"What's wrong, Grandma? What symptoms does it have?"

Chen Rang quickly got into work mode, no longer paying attention to the difficult-to-communicate girl in front of him.

"Not eating? What kind of food? Is it commercial dog food, or the dog food you make at home, or do you just give it your leftovers? Oh, it eats fresh food with you? Heavy on oil and salt?"

Chen Rang asked patiently.

Hearing the last sentence, he chuckled dryly and quickly continued to explain, "Grandma! It's not that just because you eat a light diet, you can feed these things to the dog. Cats and dogs are carnivores. Even if they can eat things like rice and vegetables, animal protein is their core requirement. You said it eats two big bowls of rice every meal, but that doesn't provide them with nutrition and can even lead to diabetes! Yes! I know there's meat broth, but it's still not enough."

Chen Rang tried to explain in a somewhat frantic way, but it was difficult to tell the old man on the other end of the phone in the simplest terms that feeding dogs leftovers, as seen on TV and in real life, is not necessarily the right thing to do.

While dogs aren't strictly carnivorous like cats, they still need animal protein as their staple food. The fact that dogs can eat rice doesn't mean it's wrong; they eat it simply because they have no other choice, because they don't want to go hungry.

"Okay! I'll come over and take a look at your dog right away! Give me your address, and I'll be there in a minute."

Chen Rang ultimately had no choice but to compromise.

Of course, he would definitely earn some income from this trip; regardless of whether he needed treatment or not, he would still get a twenty-yuan delivery fee.

only……

Chen Rang looked up and glanced at Ni Youlin.

At other times, he would simply close the shop door, get on his motorcycle, and leave without saying a word.

But there were other people in the shop at that moment, and one of them was a girl who looked rather introverted and unlucky. Chen Rang couldn't bring himself to tell her to leave.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Ni Youlin and said, "Ni, I have to go out right away; you can sit here and watch the cats, and also keep an eye on the door for me. Or, when you leave, could you please close the door for me?"

"Okay...okay! Thank you...thank you."

Ni Youlin wasn't stupid; she naturally knew why Chen Rang said that. She could have chosen to leave, but for some inexplicable reason, coupled with the meowing and cuddling of the kittens in the cage, she mustered up the courage to agree.

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

Chen Rang didn't say much, thanked him, quickly slung his bag over his shoulder, and hurriedly left.

He wasn't worried about Ni Youlin doing anything wrong. After all, to be honest, there wasn't anything valuable in the shop that could be easily taken. Besides, there were still cameras hanging overhead. If he misjudged her and she dared to mess around, he would teach her a lesson.

Soon, only Ni Youlin was left in the shop.

"Mimi?"

Ni Youlin's courage grew significantly in an instant.

Perhaps because there was no one around who would make her nervous, she looked around and crouched down next to the flight case with a bit of stealth, reaching out her hand expectantly to the little plush toy in front of her.

"Awoo~"

The Ragdoll cat, which was dozing with its eyes half-closed, glanced at Ni Youlin but ignored her.

It has finally managed to absorb precious nutrients from the outside world, so of course it needs to hurry up and digest and soothe its suffering stomach. It has no mood to play with humans.

Although the scent of the human in front of it didn't frighten it, it was still exhausted and powerless. In fact, due to the suffering it had endured over the past few days, the lion-like creature had developed some fear of humans and quickly moved back, curling up deep inside its carrier.

"ah."

Ni Youlin withdrew her hand somewhat disappointedly.

But the girl quickly cheered up again. This time, however, she changed her target, carefully selecting the short Munchkin cat. This one looked lively, and she'd held it before; it certainly wouldn't refuse…

"Mimi?"

"Awoo~"

The dachshund-like Munchkin cat gave Ni Youlin a somewhat disdainful look.

Seeing the human stick their fingers into the gap of the flight case, it reluctantly stepped forward and sniffed them.

But soon, the creature lost interest and turned its head away. With its rear end facing Ni Youlin, it vigorously struggled with the Elizabethan collar around its neck, trying to free its neck from the collar.

"..."

Ni Youlin fell silent. She even began to doubt herself, wondering if she was someone no one would like.

This silence lasted for more than ten minutes.

It took her a long time to finally adjust her emotions before she persevered in her search for her goal.

Because she had approached Dou Dou this time, she was very lucky to receive Dou Dou's favor. Dou Dou, as if teasing a fool, stretched its paw out of the airliner's case, but didn't let her touch it, quickly retracting it, which aroused Ni Youlin to the point of being unbearably itchy.

The pretty girl's happy smile inexplicably brightened the entire clinic.

She reached out again, and this time she finally touched DouDou's little paw pads. The slightly rough yet soft texture made her eyes widen in amazement, but DouDou pulled her paw back again.

When Chen Rang returned to the clinic after finishing his work, he saw Ni Youlin squatting on the ground, laughing foolishly as Dou Dou amused her without any regard for her image.

She didn't even hear Chen Rang stop the car.

"..."

"..."

When Chen Rang entered, the two looked at each other and felt a little awkward.

Ni Youlin quickly got up.

She almost fell over because she had been squatting for so long.

Her disheveled appearance caused her expression to change rapidly. Feeling too embarrassed to linger any longer, she quickly lowered her head and ran away from Chen Rang, leaving in a hurry without looking back.

"Huh? I haven't even said anything yet!"

Chen Rang was somewhat puzzled, feeling that perhaps his return was not at the right time.
