Chapter 14:

Waking up the next morning, Qi Qi felt a slight pain in her brain. I watched the alarm clock and slept for four hours.
Obviously wanted to continue to sleep until work time, tossing and turning, but could not sleep at all, had to get up and drink water.
Forehead has a low fever.
Yesterday I lay on the sofa for two hours, and the jacket on my body slipped to the ground somehow, probably because of the cold.
Qi Qi is very resistant to taking medicine. He reacted strongly to Western medicine, and the effect of the medicine usually made him feel weak for the next day and kept trying to doze off. If he was not very sick, he would not eat it. When encountering such a low fever, he often passed it by himself.
At this time, the community was still immersed in the tranquility of the morning. The color of the light projected through the window glass was very pale, pale and pale, and could not warm the room. The person with a fever is very sensitive to the cold. He just turned to the living room to find a cup to drink water. After drinking, he felt cold all over, and his hands and feet were trembling. He had to drill back to the bed.
"Collect information in the morning, interview with Chengxi Transportation Bureau in the afternoon, and produce a special edition for the Mid-Autumn Festival in the evening ..."
He murmured today's schedule.
This quiet time period before work was most suitable for recording, but Qi Qi couldn't mention the excitement today, and her eyes were lying on the bed motionless.
Take out the phone, open the text message, enter the three words "I'm sick", and then look at the blank column of the recipient's blank.
I can't think of who I can send to--
Director? Probably think you are absent from work.
Colleagues? Probably complaining that there is one more help today.
Sister? Probably at this time he was still covering his head and sleeping. Even if she receives a text message, she will always give a reply of "I told you to take good care of yourself and you don't listen. I'll be retaliated this time hahahaha"
Doctor? Unfortunately, I am not a cat.
Thinking of this, he froze for a moment, and quickly shook his head to clear the idea. Generally speaking, you should think of an ordinary doctor, right?
To be burned, to be burned ...
Qi Zi thought about it in his mouth, frowned, and got up, ready to wash, and by the way, he filled his stomach with something and went to work.
Every holiday is approaching, the TV station is fighting the assault, the department is busy all over.
In particular, the Mid-Autumn National Day is coming one after another, and various activities in the province are endless. The people in the interview group are almost on a business trip. And Qi Qi because of the frequent business trips, about the director felt owed to him, this time specially arranged for him a few interviews in the city, and finally a little comfort.
"Sick?" The colleague saw that he didn't know how many times he reached for his forehead, and finally saw the clue.
"It's a bit burning, it's okay." Qi Po put a large glass of water on her desk and added a bit of salt, preparing to replenish the water and press down her body temperature when she didn't have to go out for an interview this morning.
"Why not find someone to replace the interview with the Transportation Bureau in the afternoon. It's a storm outside today, don't get a bad cold."
"Where are there free people at this time? Everyone has work arrangements, don't mess up because of me." Qi Zi smiled and rejected the colleagues' kindness, "I will finish these files as soon as possible. , You can take a nap during the lunch break and raise the sick. "
Just about to continue to work hard, the director walked into the office with tea and imitated the newsboy selling on the TV, announcing: "No! No! No! The Mid-Autumn Mooncake gift box booked in the desk arrived and was placed in the mail room. Everyone remembers one before work today. Get a copy and go back! "
It is the unit's practice to distribute moon cakes in advance during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
According to informed sources, the merchants selected this year are very good, the packaging is exquisite, and the content inside is also worth the money.
Hearing the director's words, the anxious colleague immediately dropped the matter at hand, and looked at the moon cake itchyly.
The atmosphere became lively in the office for a while, and he started talking about his favorite mooncake filling. Qi Qi typed while occasionally tilting her head to join the chat team, and it was fun.
"Qi Qi, your share." A colleague heard that he was a patient, and very generously took his share back for him.
"Yo, thank you very much." Qi Zhen took it with a smile.
The packaging of the moon cake gift box is very classical, with a light gray background, printed with a light-colored meticulous lotus pond picture, a full moon hanging in it, and the product brand also used cursive inscriptions.
In addition, the gift box also comes with a silver high-end gift bag, it seems that the unit is really generous this year.
"Oh, Qi Qi, the person in the mail room said that there was a letter from you. I took it by the way." The colleague took out an envelope No. 3, which was slightly larger than the ordinary envelope, and placed it in front of him.
"Letter to me?"
Qi Zhen was slightly surprised, and looked away, and suddenly the word "pet hospital" stopped on the envelope head.
This is a hospital-specific envelope-in ​​addition to the name and address printed on the table top, there is also a pink cat paw print, which is the logo of this hospital.
At the addressee's place, his name was written with a pen.
The sender probably did not write because the header was already printed on the envelope.
He hesitated for three seconds, and carefully cut open the edge of the envelope with a letter opener, but did not expect that there was an envelope inside.
The envelope inside is slightly smaller, and the exterior is covered with a layer of plastic wrap. Look at the size and style should be a card.
Qi Qi held his breath, and then opened the envelope inside.
Sure enough, it is a card-the size is relatively large in the cards sold on the market, and the workmanship is also very fine. There are several groups of furry meticulous cats printed on the front, the brushstrokes are so detailed that they are drawn one by one. surface.
"Hehe." Qi Chen inexplicably felt that her mood had eased a lot, and raised her mouth towards the corner of the cover picture.
The moment he opened the card, he was stunned.
There are also cat paw prints on the cards, and it is a veritable cat paw print printed with soluble paint on the kitten's paw. He counted a total of sixteen, arranged in chronological order.
Next to each paw print, there are recorded with correct pens:
"The Chinese Rural Cat, cage No. 14, was discharged on August 22 and has been adopted."
"The tabby cat, cage No. 6, was released on August 24 and has been adopted."
"Siamese cat, cage No. 31, was discharged on September 5 and has been adopted."
...
...
And much more.
It seems that each paw print was covered on the card when they were officially discharged from the hospital.
In other words, this card was prepared at least a month ago.
The postmark on the envelope was yesterday afternoon, and he remembered that the last kitten was mentioned in the mail yesterday, so this card was completed at that time.
Some of the kitten's paw prints are not very stable, probably because the little guy is turbulent, and there may be some crooked shapes.
However, so happy.
Qi Qi couldn't help but gently pressed her lips against her lips, restrained her throat from making any noise, and with her back to her colleagues, she lowered her head and stroked the small, colorful paw prints with her fingertips.
What to do, so happy--
I am so happy to receive such a special gift for the first time in my life.
At the end of the card, the same pen writing also wrote such a paragraph.
"Mr. Qi: Before we met you, we did not expect that we could find a new home for the little ones so smoothly. During the period, we also received help from many enthusiastic people. The quite difficult aftercare work in the past was much easier because of your proposal. Thank you for the special report you contributed, and thank you for your patience in replying to my email every time, and writing a post on the forum, thank you. "
Start a new line here.
"This card is a little care for me personally, I hope I can use these little guys to express my deep gratitude to you."
The conclusion is complete. Unlike the previous emails, this time the deposit is not a hospital, but a person's name.
-"Shen Yan".
The handwriting is the same as the main text, and it is beautiful and energetic.
Qi Qi took a deep breath and stared at the card for a few minutes, then suddenly closed it, put it on, put it back in the envelope, and then turned to start typing at the speed of the computer screen.
The work of collating the information is tedious and lengthy, and he is unwell. It would have been highly efficient to have lunch at noon.

However, he completed all scheduled work in advance just before eleven o'clock.
Save the files, pack them, and send them.
After finishing the finishing work in one breath, he raised the moon cake gift box issued by the unit and greeted his colleagues, ready to go out.
"I'm busy with things in the morning. I will leave now. The interview will be back in the afternoon." Qi Qi's speech speed was as hurried as his pace.
"Hey? Didn't you say you should take a good rest during the lunch break?" Colleagues were surprised.
"Go out and give something." Qi Qi said with a word.
In the past, it was an office affair that allowed you to follow the bus directly, but now it is a private affair. Even if you leave early, you must use the lunch break to drive back and forth.
From the city center to the northern part of the city where the hospital is located, because of the need to transfer, the subway and bus took more than an hour.
When Qi Qi arrived at the place, the hospital happened to be a lunch break.
"Yo, comrade reporter, why are you free today?" Ms. Pang had completely put down his doubts about him and greeted him warmly like an old friend. She was carrying the hot meal to the nurse's lounge, collided with the hurried walk in the hallway, and then called him in surprise and joy.
Qi Qi quickly stopped and smiled politely: "Sister Pang."
"Good," Ms. Pang smiled, and kept busy telling him the good news, although he knew the good news long ago, "Yes, comrade reporter, yesterday the last cat also successfully completed the adoption procedure and was taken by the new owner. . "
"It's great." Qi Qiao accompanied her for a while, smiling slightly, feeling her throat a little dry, and could not help clearing her throat before proceeding, "That ... Dr. Shen, is he here? I have something to give him. "
"Yes, but this time, he should be on a lunch break." Ms. Pang asked him to go to the doctor's lounge on the second floor.
"Okay." Qi Xiao heard the word "in" and let out a sigh of relief, and immediately walked towards the stairs.
The second floor belongs to the nursing area and laboratory, and is also the place where doctors usually rest, much quieter than the first floor.
Qi Qi stepped on the second floor and walked deep into the corridor according to the signs on the route sign. No one was seen along the way. The nurses probably went out for lunch. The hustle and bustle of cars and cars outside the hospital is gradually moving away, and his footsteps are slowly letting go, trying not to destroy the rare quiet here.
At the end of the corridor is the doctor's lounge.
Further back, over the window sill you can see several strains of sycamore. The leaves are half-green and half-yellow, and have not yet completely withered.
Qi Qi hasn't heard any sound since the beginning. So he was a little worried, would that person go out for dinner too?
With a bit of anxiety, he came to the lounge door.
The door was hidden.
Before the hand was knocked, Qi Qi glanced cautiously into the room, then the whole person was stunned, and put the raised hand back in time.
The curtains in the lounge are the same as the door, with only one slit left to let the light leak out.
Only a dozen square meters of room has a desk and a chair, and the rest is a sofa.
The man's head was resting on the shoulder of the sofa, lying on it in a natural posture, eyes closed, his arms interlaced on a small blanket covered in front of him. This appearance seems to have been maintained for some time.
It turned out that he was taking a nap.
No wonder there is no sound at all. Qi Chen was fortunate that she hadn't knocked on the door or woke him up.
At that time, a wind came from the window at the end of the corridor, and the wind was not too big or small. In addition to swaying the branches and leaves of the sycamore tree, the virtual door was pushed in gently. It just happens to be a place where one person can pass.
Like a silent hint.
Facing Qi's half-open door, Qi Qi stood stunned for a moment. Sure enough ... It's better to send something in front of the opponent than to put it in the door?
With this thought in mind, he moved his footsteps and entered the house quietly.
When I was outside the door, I thought there was no sound. Until people walked in front of the sofa, they found that there was still a sound-a faint, even breathing sound, accompanied by a volt across the chest, faintly scattered in the air, passing Into his ears.
I didn't wear a mask this time. I could hear it and see it.
So he looks like this ...
Qi Qi bowed her head slightly, looking at the man's face. He slept very peacefully, his eyes flat, his face covered with a thin layer of light, so that the silhouette gave a feeling of rigidity and coldness in a low-light environment. But the temperament emanating from the whole body was very soft, like a clear stream flowing on the hard rock outside.
Although he didn't open his eyes, he could completely fill in his mind based on his own impression of his eyes.
Fortunately, he didn't open his eyes.
Qi Qi didn't know what kind of eyes he was staring at each other now, nor did he know why he stretched out his hand like a ghost, gently touched a lock of hair that fell on his forehead, and set it aside for him.
Don't open your eyes.
If you open your eyes, it will be bad.
"Meow."
Suddenly there was a very light cat meow.
Qi Qi shuddered violently, his fingers hurried back, holding his breath and looking at the source of the sound-under the blanket covered by the man, a small hairy head was actually drilled out.
It ’s a cat.
It turned out that the blanket was not for himself, but for keeping the cat warm. Probably the little guy is naughty and needs his constant care, so he slept in his arms during the lunch break.
Qi Qi didn't dare to move.
He had forgotten how to breathe, held his breath, and stared at the cat's next move, fearing that it would turn up and wake up the man.
Fortunately, the little guy's body seemed to be weak. The wet black eyes looked at him curiously for a while, and then squinted again, rubbing the button of the doctor's shirt under his chin, and the fleshy paw pad against his chest, and continued. Get down to keep warm. Qi Qi felt that her cold sweat was seeping out in just a few seconds.
The heart was beating violently, pounding for a while, probably because of the fright.
The symptoms of fever seem to be worse than before.
Qi Qi stood still and calmed down, but she couldn't help laughing. The picture in front of him suddenly made him think of a word-"father and son picture" uncontrollably.
Previously, the pictures of the kittens in the emails were also taken in sleeping positions, but the doctor himself was always out of the lens.
Such a scene where people and cats snuggle together and take a nap is really rare.
It ’s the same as the moment of ecstasy and surpassing your identity ... It ’s so rare.
Qi Qi let go of her hand resting on her lips, patting her cheeks, converging her expression, and still having a light smile in her eyes.
He quietly took the phone out of his clothes pocket and opened the camera app.
In order not to wake up the other party, he canceled the option of automatic flash, directly adjusted the brightness with the help of subtle light, and then pressed the button. The picture flashed lightly in the phone, and then fixed in a perfect composition.
He knew that some things could not take that step.
So before leaving voluntarily, it is not bad to leave a memorial for yourself.
"Yes, that's just it." Qi Qin sighed and smiled at the moment of confirming the preservation, put away the phone calmly, put down the moon cake gift box that he had been holding on the other hand, and did not pay any attention to the gift bag. Stretched a deep mark in the palm.
Take out the notepad that he brought with him, turn over the three pages that once recorded this man, and tear off a few blank pages.
"Sorry, it's too late to prepare the card." He murmured, walked to the desk, leaned over the table and wrote his reply. When it was all over, he quietly placed these handwritten papers in front of the man. The cat seemed to be aware of it, and stretched its paws, just pressing the edge of the paper.
Qi Xiao smiled and said thank you to the little guy with her mouth, and then put her fingers together to make a farewell gesture.
The cat looked at him blankly, his eyes dim, and he fell down heartlessly and continued to sleep.
He had straightened up and stood for another minute or so, his head turned to the left, and his left hand smashed the scattered hair beside his ears.
People who have a fever can't realize the real temperature there.
As long as it burns away, it will naturally cool down--
Qi Qi lowered her eyes and looked away, walked out of the room softly, and closed the door politely.
The author has something to say: Qi three-dimensional special skills, found that the signs are wrong and can be extinguished in time.
