It was no wonder that Yi Xin stuttered when he saw Old Geezer Lan He'd gone through the Chu Hua university system, and the year he'd taken the botany course had left an extre impression of Old Geezer Lan in his memories So Yi Xin was very curious Old Geezer Lan wasn't the type of person to care about what other people thought of him Even if the current chair of the life sciences departive him face In other words, Boss Jiao definitely wasn't the reason for hi like this Therefore, as Professor Lan so restrained towards his Boss' cat?
In actuality, Old Geezer Lan was behaving this way because Zheng Tan had once done so Tan was going down the stairs for his walk, he ran into Professor Lan's wife, Mrs Di Mrs Di didn't have a very good heart, and at the ti an old lady from another apartment unit lift some heavy items On the way back up the stairs, she suddenly felt her heart acting up, but it was the middle of the day when everyone was in class or at work Even more was that Old Geezer Lan was on a business trip When the old lady had just ed to fish out her o; subsequently, it rolled down the stairs In her current state, she had difficulty even taking a single step In the end, Zheng Tan ran down the stairs and brought the bottle of pills back to Mrs Di
Mrs Di promptly took her meds and recovered quite quickly Ever since then, Mrs Di would laugh every ti Tan If Mrs Di had been ho Tan To outsiders, the old man's teet yelled at by his wife Naturally, when guests were present, his ould still help him save face
As such, Zheng Tan wielded the support of Old Geezer Lan's wife, so he wasn't afraid of Old Geezer Lan's taut face in the slightest
Old Geezer Lan took out two bottles One contained liquid, while the other had powdered medicine
The liquidTan's baths and could prevent hi Tan had used it in the past, but after using it up, they'd never gone back to Professor Lan to get more because it was such a hassle As for the powdered medicine, it was s couldn't be purchased other than from Old Geezer Lan, as they had all been personally acquired by the old uaranteed to be safe, pure, and natural; even if a cat licked it, it'd be fine Though, Zheng Tan had never licked his own fur, so that wasn't much of a concern
The old geezer poured a little of the powderedTan's fur
Zheng Tan turned his head to look at the fur that had been messily disheveled and raised an eyelid at the old man The oldthe powder in, he slowly closed the bottle, put it back, and brushed Zheng Tan's fur back in its natural direction After he'd finished save hi Tan
”If I were to sold this tiny bit of h to buy a house full of cats Aren't you lucky to be getting this for free? When are you going to help me out in that flower bed?”
Professor Lan didn't expect the cat in front hihts out loud, whilst slapping Zheng Tan a few tie
Zheng Tan wiggled his ears, shook out his fur, and ignored the oldto himself He walked out of the room and prepared to head back
Outside of the roo the floor and was sitting rigidly by the sofa Even a fool would be able to tell that he was nervous
Professor Lan gave the two bottles of rab a slass bottle ”These two bottles of medicine are for the cat I won't tell you how to apply it, asking your advisor should be fine This brown bottle has insecticide that's 10X concentrated You'll need to dilute it on your own before you use it”
After saying this, Professor Lan opened thethat they should leave
”That… Thank you, sorry for the trouble!”
Yi Xin surabbed the three bottles, and followed Zheng Tan out of the door
It wasn't until they'd returned to the Jiao residence on the fifth floor that Yi Xin let out a breath of relief
Zheng Tan had also beco to resolve the flea proble of roasted fish fillets to eat
However, before the two could relax too much, there was a sound at the front door
Hearing the frequency of the knocks, and the clauess as at the front door He gazed up at the ceiling When would they ever have some peace and quiet?!
Yi Xin had no idea as outside however, until he opened the door
There were three little boys at the entrance, all about the sarade at the elementary school affiliated with Chu Hua University, and they all lived in the eastern residential quad The group would frequently play together Zheng Tan recognized them, but Yi Xin didn't
Not waiting for Yi Xin's inquiry, one of the little kids blurted out, ”Who're you?!”
The question was like a heroic state children even shuffled around in his backpack and took out a s a defensive stance
Seeing that these three children were obviously on guard and suspected him, Yi Xin tried to desperately deid smile It took him five minutes to explain his own identity, and he even fished out his graduate-student ID
The three brats huddled together to look at the picture of Yi Xin on the graduate-student ID, then glanced at Yi Xin in front of them
”Is the person in this picture really you, bro? He clearly lookspin asked, but immediately afterwardstopped and happily remarked, ”Hey, I was unexpectedly able to use the vocabulary term, 'mature'”
”I hope you reet 90 points, or raduate-student ID
The group of three walked into the living roo on the sofa At this point, they finally calely This meant that this person called Yi Xin really was an acquaintance, so they sat down on the sofa one by one
Yi Xin saw that the sofa no longer had any roo table
The three boys ere sitting on the sofa stared in unison at Yi Xin, as about to sit down Their stares baffled Yi Xin because they were looking at hi so terrible it could offend heaven
Zheng Tan saw this scene and gave a long sigh He jue, and jue door
”Wow~~”
”In the end, Ash was the one who knew his manners!”
”To even know about hosting guests My friend Mr Yi, even a cat knows their manners compared to you”
Yi Xin, who'd been criticized, was stunned ”…” If this were my house, I'd understand, but the problem is that this is Boss Jiao's house Even when this father has but a single bag of snacks, this father is cautious; this father is a guest too!
