Chapter Thirty-Four: Grand Diet Plan (2/2)

“Sque–” If you hadn’t lessened my portion, I wouldn’t have hidden them in my cheek pouch!

Yan Jin could hear how wronged his hamster sounded from his out of tune squeaks.

There was no other choice but for Yan Jin to patiently explain things to his hamster like he was coaxing a child: “You’re too heavy, and obesity leads to high cholesterol. In today’s checkup, other areaswere barely normal, but your weight is seriously too high. In turn, that led to an increase in your blood sugar and lipid levels. The vet mentioned that if it goes higher, it would be considered a case of high cholesterol.”

Yan Jin wasn’t sure why he had to explain so much to a hamster. Perhaps it was because his instincts told him that Fishy was different from other hamsters and would be able to understand his words.

After the explanation, Xiao Yu’s anger deflated like a popped balloon.

He pitifully stared at Yan Jin as he weakly squeaked and stretched his tongue out to lick the chairman’s injured thumb. Unexpectedly, Yan Jin picked him up again.

“Don’t lick it. Did you forget how uncomfortable you felt when you ate the wrong things and had diarrhea?”

Xiao Yu was picked up by his neck and then placed onto the table. However, he refused to shift his gaze away from Yan Jin’s injured thumb.

Yan Jin used his other hand to rub Xiao Yu’s little head as he comforted him. With an indifferent tone, he said, “It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt. It’ll be fine with a bandage. I had my vaccinations done three months ago when the cat scratched me – It’s still within the effective time period.”

Xiao Yu did not know why, but he did not feel comforted at all; in fact, he felt even more guilty.

The dejected little hamster looked surprisingly adorable – Yan Jin picked up his phone and snapped a few pictures with the caption: “I accidentally bit my owner. Upset.jpg” and sent it to his social media account. Of course, it received a wave of likes for it.

Yan Jin had side accounts on both his QQ and WeChat apps. Aside from his usual gang of close friends, the other friends were people whom he had met by chance and they shared the same interests. A majority of them did not know his identity. They thought that he was just an average small animal lover judging from all the pet pictures made into memes that he had uploaded.

Yan Jin’s WeChat’s ID was originally [Fuzzylover]. Now, it had been changed to [Grezzylover]. He even changed his QQ ID, which was why everyone thought that the person behind the account must have been a voluntary pet slave.

Compared to Yan Jin’s main account, where he had to watch every word that he drafted, this side account was filled with his true emotions, and he usually wouldn’t care about the content that he uploaded. That was why he immediately realized that he had made a big mistake after he posted that photo – he had completely forgotten an extremely troublesome person behind that screen.

How troublesome? In the span of time he spent searching for a bandage, he had missed five phone calls.

Yan Jin spent five seconds contemplating whether to answer the call or to block that person for good. In the end, he gave up and pressed the answer button.

“Hello?”

“Hello my ass, why didn’t you call me when you were bitten? You have time to upload the photo to your social media account, but no time to give me a call? I have to keep my temper in check too, okay?”

“Didn’t you have to do a surgery today?”

“There is one, later. Why are you asking that? Are you trying to divert the topic?”

“…… Such a pity.”

Others might not understand what that questionable sentence meant, but who was Chu Ge? He was that fellow who got duped by Yan Jin over twenty years. Yan Jin’s sentence instantly made him clench his teeth in frustration.

That asshole Yan Jin, he thinks that it’s a pity that he did not delete that post in time.

“I’ll come over right away. You’ll deal with it for the time being. First – “

“I’ll wait for you.” Yan Jin immediately hung up.

Chu Ge was not usually that hypocritical, but when it involved the treatment of wounds, he would turn into a maniac and nag nonstop for twenty minutes. Yan Jin could guarantee that if he had not ended that call, he would have been instructed to boil a towel for disinfection purposes.

At that time, the roads weren’t as busy, so Chu Ge arrived promptly.

After the doctor dealt with Yan Jin’s wound, Chu Ge scooped Xiao Yu up in his hands as he persuaded in a patient manner: “Fishy, listen well. That fellow’s hand is worth over a million dollars. Do not ever bite them again, understand?”

Xiao Yu nodded his head guiltily, but Chu Ge was distracted and did not notice his response at all.

“If you’re gonna bite, aim for that face and bite it, disfigure him. That way, we’ll see if he dares to fool around and attract unwanted attention.”

Xiao Yu was a bit puzzled – why did that sound weird?

“Had your fun? Don’t teach my Fishy your nonsense.” Yan Jin snatched Xiao Yu back, smoothed those messy furs and then placed the hamster onto the side of the running wheel that was on the coffee table.

“Go on, have a little run.”

Xiao Yu obediently listened to the orders and began running on the wheel. The living room was momentarily filled with buzzing sounds from the running wheel.

Chu Ge snidely commented from the sidelines, “It actually understood. You’re one hell of a guy. I’ve heard of trained dogs, but I have never heard that hamsters could be trained as well.”

“Fishy is intelligent. Don’t misguide him.”

“Hey! Since when did you see me misguiding him? After all, I’m Fishy’s god-father okay?” Chu Ge retorted with dissatisfaction: “I even donated his iPad.”

“Did I not give you money?” Yan Jin answered coldly.

Chu Ge immediately went silent.

Xiao Yu obediently ran on the running wheel, completely ignoring the quarreling adults.

A moment later, Chu Ge opened his mouth again: “That being said, don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Yan Jin snorted coldly: “Like how my fiancée was your ex-girlfriend?”

Xiao Yu’s limbs went soft and he almost fell off the running wheel. Yan Jin, who was paying attention the entire time immediately scooped the hamster into his hands and smoothed his fur out: “Don’t be afraid. It was the first time you ran. You’ll get used to it with more practice.”

“Oh, so you were aware and still –“ Chu Ge was still wearing his cold expression as he continued, “Don’t you know that you should not covet your friend’s wife?”
