865 Diabetes (1/2)

It was strange––the mini poodle had been barking the whole time. It wouldn't even stop under Zhang Zian's instructions or Fina's threat, but once the unconscious female customer woke up after drinking the sweetened water, it let out a whimper and stopped barking. Soon after, it ran back inside the shop as if it had lost interest in her.

When it stopped barking, Snoopy, too, stopped barking.

Her vision started to focus from near to far, and soon, the faces of Masanori Suzuhara, Zhang Zian, Lu Yiyun, and Wang Qian appeared in front of her as her vision cleared up. She opened her lips slightly and weakly asked, ”I… What's wrong?”

At that moment, Zhang Zian was really worried that she would ask, ”Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?” They were the three questions of memory loss. It was going to be troublesome if that happened.

”You suddenly fainted,” Zian briefly answered. ”It seems to be hypoglycemia.”

”Oh, thank you.” She understood what happened immediately and said apologetically, ”I'm terribly sorry. It wasn't on purpose…” She tried to stand up but struggled.

”It's best not to move around for now.” Masanori Suzuhara pressed on her shoulders. ”We've already called an ambulance, so let's wait for the emergency care personnel to give you a checkup.”

The female customer stared at Masanori Suzuhara's face. She had not seen that person before.

Zhang Zian introduced them. ”You don't have to thank us! Thank her instead—she's a customer of our shop, too. She's studying medicine and happened to pass by on her morning exercise. She had a sweet on her, which she dissolved into sweetened water and fed to you––that's why you're awake now.”

”Thank you. I'm sorry to trouble you,” she thanked Masanori Suzuhara.

Seeing that she looked much better now, Masanori Suzuhara helped her sit upright. ”It's okay––it was nothing much!”

It was spring and the floor was very cold. Zhang Zian gestured for Wang Qian to bring over a cushion for her to sit on, or else she could catch a cold.

”Master, here… what happened? I heard a dog barking nonstop so I came over to take a look…” Li Kun ran over from next door and was surprised by what he saw.

”None of your business. You can head back.” Zhang Zian waved his hands to send him back. Li Kun, on the other hand, cast a look at him, meaning to say that he'd go over later and tell him what happened.

”Speaking of which… I also came over after hearing the dog bark.” Masanori Suzuhara turned her head to look at the mini poodle. It had tired itself out from barking, and was drinking water from its water bowl.

Masanori Suzuhara said, ”My condition today isn't really good––I felt a little weak––but just as I was hesitating about whether or not I should turn back to the dorm and rest, I heard a dog barking nonstop. I thought, 'Whose dog is this? Did something happen?' And it sounded like it came from the pet shop, so I ran a few more steps to check on it. Who knew that I would see you faint…”

After everyone heard what she said, they all looked at the mini poodle.

”Such a coincidence,” Wang Qian said in a surprised tone. ”This dog usually doesn't bark like that, but it started to bark nonstop earlier and now it stopped again… Oh, right––I heard that dogs can see things… Could it be that a ghost had passed by outside? The cause of her fainting might have something to do with the ghost! She might even be possessed… Master, should we hire a monk or a Taoist priest to chant some scriptures?”
