Chapter 213 Adoption instead of sale
The trunk of the ancient locust tree is very thick and the branches are very low. The bursting tree pattern gives An Ruo a good focus.
She had never climbed a tree before and was a little scared. After confirming with the program team that she could not call for rescue, she decided to climb up and rescue the stray cat.
The cat seemed to understand that An Ruo came to save her, and was not hostile to An Ruo's careful approach.
It’s just that Li Xiao kept shouting loudly under the tree on purpose.
"Miss An Ruo, be careful!"
"Miss An Ruo, it's dangerous!"
"Miss An Ruo..."
Every time An Ruo was about to get close to the cat, Li Xiao would shout something loudly, which would frighten the cat and make it jump up again.
"Shut up!" An Ruo got angry and scolded Li Xiao under the tree.
At this moment, she was almost two meters above the ground. If she climbed up again, she was afraid that she would not be able to get down.
And Li Xiao obviously made the noise deliberately to scare the stray cats.
An Ruo couldn't bear it anymore and told her to shut up.
Li Xiao curled his lips: "Why, I'm just worried about your safety."
"Don't worry, don't talk anymore from now on, otherwise I don't mind calling the director and replacing him with a crew member."
An Ruo usually doesn't lose her temper. She has a soft personality and can tolerate what she can outside.
But Li Xiao's deliberate deception was too much, and she really couldn't bear it.
Li Xiao shut up when he heard that she was about to call the director. After all, the director had just warned them this morning to be careful with An Ruo, their little ancestor.
Next, without Li Xiao's trouble, An Ruo quickly attracted the stray cats to her with ham sausage.
When the stray cat lowered its guard and slowly came to her, she first raised her hand and gently rubbed the cat's back. Seeing that the cat was not hostile, she hugged the cat into her arms.
"Meow meow……"
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you down."
An Ruo held the cat in one hand and grasped the tree trunk tightly with the other. She didn't know how to get down from the tree for a while.
As the saying goes, it is easier to get up a tree than to get down, not to mention she was holding a cat.
An Ruo clung to the tree trunk and looked down to estimate the distance between her and the ground. It was only about two meters high. The ground was soft, so she shouldn't be hurt if she jumped.
The scene at this moment reminded her of the first time she met Ling Shaoqing.
At that time, she jumped off the balcony on the second floor in her wedding dress. It was Ling Shaoqing who caught her and used him as her human body pad. Of course, if he hadn't let her go on purpose later and made her sit on the ground, she would have thought This memory is still very good.
But now, no one would rush out to catch her like the uncle, so she could only jump down on her own.
……
The sun on the island is very strong, and it’s very hot outside.
Li Xiao was a little irritated. He knew that Ling Shaoqing personally sent An Ruo to the island yesterday, and Ling Shaoqing also knew that he had arrived, but did not want to meet him. After seeing An Ruo off, he turned around and left.
This made Li Xiao feel a little uncomfortable.
Once upon a time, these brothers were the most important people to each other. No matter how busy or tired they were, they would always find time to meet and drink and chat.
But later, since An Ruo appeared, the relationship between their brothers was broken.
Wanting to see Ling Shaoqing is no longer as easy as before. Many times when they have dinner or drinks, Ling Shaoqing refuses because he wants to accompany An Ruo. Even if he comes once in a while, he will bring An Ruo with him.
In the past, Ling Shaoqing would have taken time to visit Li Xiao's class even if he was on a short business trip to Li Xiao's city.
But now, Ling Shaoqing has sent An Ruo here, and he and An Ruo live in the same villa, so Ling Shaoqing doesn't even bother to see him.
Li Xiao was not in the mood to record the show. He just wanted to finish the task early, find clues and rest.
He found the old locust tree at the entrance of the alley based on the clues.
Before he could reach the front, he saw An Ruo on the tree, ready to jump down. In an instant, Li Xiao himself didn't even react. He had already rushed forward and caught An Ruo in his arms.
"Li...Uncle Li?"
Li Xiao had a cold face: "What are you doing climbing a tree? How dangerous!"
"I'll save it."
An Ruo lifted the stray cat in his arms, and Li Xiao frowned slightly and put An Ruo down.
An Ruo quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Uncle Li."
"Don't do such dangerous things in the future. If you bump into me, I won't be able to tell your family."
Li Xiao has already posted a video through social software to clarify his relationship with An Ruo.
He only said that Anruo was the child of his best friend.
Others don't know who the family members Li Xiao can't explain are, but An Ruo knows.
She blushed quietly and lowered her head and agreed, "Okay."
"Let's go, our mission is completed, we can go to the village committee."
An Ruo looked at the cat in her arms: "Can I take it with me?"
Li Xiao quickly refused: "Miss An Ruo, this is not suitable. Stray cats are unhygienic and unsafe, so just leave them here."
An Ruo didn't even look at her, only looked up at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao had a calm face and said, "It's up to you."
"Thank you, Uncle Li."
An Ruo happily hugged the stray cat and followed Li Xiao to the village committee. Li Xiao, who was ignored, kicked the pebbles on the ground hard and was pulled along by Wang Le.
Li Xiao was in a worse mood now, and he regretted that he had just caught An Ruo.
However, his body reacted faster than his thoughts, and he subconsciously rushed over to catch An Ruo.
Speaking of which, he should stand by and watch, or in other words, he should be happy to see An Ruo cause trouble for herself.
But Li Xiao's inner kindness didn't give him the chance to do so.
That's all, that's all!
The most helpless thing in this world is that there is no regret medicine.
If it weren't for Ling Shaoqing, Li Xiao thought he wouldn't hate An Ruo. After all, a girl like An Ruo, as pure and lovely as a blank sheet of paper, could very well arouse their men's protective desire.
When the two of them walked to the village committee together, the guests from other groups had not returned yet.
They are No. 1, so tomorrow's sea cruise date falls on them.
An Ruo kept holding the stray cat, and the director frowned slightly: "Miss An Ruo, why did you bring this dirty cat back?"
An Ruo raised her eyebrows: "Wash it and it will be clean. Besides, cats are only dirty on the surface, unlike some people whose hearts are dirty."
She said this because she was dissatisfied with the fact that the program crew forcibly captured stray cats and drove them up trees in order to record the show.
The director is a genius. How could he not understand what An Ruo meant? He could only smile awkwardly and said, "If Miss An Ruo likes kittens, I can find someone to buy one for you."
"No need, adoption replaces sale, I can just take it back."
"Okay, as Miss Anruo pleases."
They have basically shot enough material here, and now they just wait at the village committee for the guests from other groups to come back.
An Ruo has been comforting the stray cat in her arms. The cat is actually very dirty and its fur is tangled, but An Ruo does not dislike it at all.
As soon as the recording of the program ended, she took the cat to the only pet shop in the fishing village to check and bathe the cat.
But at this moment, Liu Taoer, who had spent a whole day playing on the island, was rolling around on the bed with a hungry stomach and asked, "Why haven't you come back yet?"
