Daily Life in the Pet Shop Ch. 116
"I rent a house and I can still think that it's a rented house, not a home. If I really bought a house, then every day when I return home, I'll be facing an empty house, and I'll definitely be more disappointed. An empty house is not a home."
Du Qianze continued to talk for a while, and suddenly turned around and called Da Bai, and a cat walked into the camera.
"Dad, this is your granddaughter, Da Bai. I picked her up on the road. She's so well-behaved and pretty. Over the years, she's the only one who's been with me. If it weren't for her, maybe I really couldn't make it." Du Qianze hugged Da Bai and said sadly, and then he told the cause and effect of his meeting Da Bai.
Father Du was shocked, and only when he heard Du Qianze say that he didn't go because he met Da Bai did he feel relieved.
Du Qianze continued to talk about the troubles he encountered in life and the happy things he encountered in acting. Except for a few complaints at the beginning, Du Qianze kept talking about trivial things, as if he was chatting with his father about daily life. After hearing what Du Qianze said, his father's heart, which was originally a little chaotic, gradually calmed down.
"It turns out that he also has a cat. You look very similar to his cat. Are you born by that cat?" Father Du asked the kitten in a low voice.
The kitten had been nestling in Father Du's arms with his eyes closed. When it heard what Father Du said, it half-opened its eyes, did not speak, and shook its tail. Father Du could not understand whether it said "yes" or "no".
"That should be the case. You look quite like that Da Bai." Father Du looked at the kitten over and over again and finally came to this conclusion.
The kitten thought that Father Du wanted to play with it, so it licked Father Du's fingers a few times, then tilted its head and rubbed his palm. The kitten's soft and cute movements made Father Du's heart almost soften, but when he thought that this cat was Du Qianze's, he immediately frowned and took the kitten off his body.
Following the direction pointed by Du Jiamo, Fang Yi quickly found the hospital and took Du Qianze into the hospital. The doctor said that he just had a fever and the problem was not serious. He gave Du Qianze an IV drip. Du Jiamo was relieved to confirm that Du Qianze was not seriously ill. He turned to Fang Yi and asked, "When did you come? Why didn't you wait until he recovered?"
"When we came yesterday, he was still fine, but he suddenly fell ill today." Fang Yi knew that Du Qianze was fine, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He walked outside and called Fang Yue to tell her that he might not be able to go back in the next two days.
Fang Yue heard that Du Qianze was sick, and told Fang Yi to take good care of Du Qianze and not to worry about the store. She would take good care of Naima and other small animals in the store.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yi stood there and pondered for a while. Fang Yue, this girl, could she be in love with Du Qianze? This was not okay. Du Qianze liked men, he would talk to Fang Yue carefully later.
"Did you find those little animals?" Du Jiamo took the opportunity when Fang Yi went out to make a phone call and called home. When Mother Du heard that Du Qianze was fine, she hung up the phone and said that she wanted to play with the little rabbit and puppy with Xiao Xuan.
"Yeah." Fang Yi nodded and added, "Xiao Du said that every time he went home, he would be driven out and his things would be thrown out, so I found him a few little animals and let them deliver the things to your house. I run a pet shop."
"Your method is quite good. I saw my dad's face was gloomy because of those little animals, but he didn't touch them. It's indeed much better than Qianze's treatment at home." Du Jiamo said.
His generation was relatively open-minded, and as a teacher, he understood that this was not an illness and could not be changed. He often reached out to Du Qianze privately, tactfully bringing up the topic of family. However, before he could finish speaking, Father Du would always interrupt him.
This time, when the little animals came and clung to Father Du, he didn't get angry. He simply shouted for them to be thrown out but didn't actually follow through.
"Liking men is not a disease, and it is quite common in China. Marriage is allowed abroad. I don't know why your father can't figure it out. I heard that he is a teacher." Fang Yi actually didn't like Father Du very much. Du Qianze didn't do anything wrong, but he drove him out directly. He knew best how children without a home live outside.
"Actually, I can't blame my dad. He has a knot in his heart about this kind of thing." Du Jiamo took out a cigarette from his pocket, and then he remembered that this was a hospital and he couldn't smoke. He looked up and said to Fang Yi, "Let's go out for a walk."
Fang Yi saw that Du Qianze's face looked much better, and there were nurses watching around. He nodded and walked out with Du Jiamo.
As soon as they walked outside, Du Jiamo lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and took Fang Yi to a quieter place and said, "Since Qianze brought you here, you must have a good relationship. I recently learned about a past event from my mother. I was going to tell Qianze in person, but now he hasn't woken up yet, so I'll tell you first. Tell Qianze later that I can't stay here for too long, otherwise my dad will be unhappy."
Du Jiamo knew that Du Qianze liked someone, and this time he brought Fang Yi home again. He thought Fang Yi should be the boyfriend Du Qianze had found.
He actually didn't like Fang Yi very much. He was too strong and looked fierce. However, after seeing Little Bandit's intimate actions towards Fang Yi and Fang Yi's attitude towards Du Qianze, Du Jiamo's attitude towards Fang Yi changed a lot. This guy should be considered a very gentle person, so he tacitly accepted the relationship between Fang Yi and Du Qianze.
"It's not good to tell me about this kind of thing." It sounded like what Du Jiamo wanted to say was a very secretive thing, and it was not good to tell him, an outsider.
"There's nothing wrong. When you tell him, you can also discuss what to do about this matter." Du Jiamo ignored Fang Yi, took another puff of cigarette, and told Fang Yi about Father Du.
Father Du had never told anyone about this matter. It was not until Mother Du sorted out things a few days ago and turned to the diary hidden by Father Du that he knew that Father Du had actually experienced such a thing.
The story probably started when Father Du was in college.
