This period of time is approaching the end of the new year and everyone else is busy, but this is the time when Lin Qiao is most relaxed.
She did well in the final exam, the company has not arranged any new work for her, and the observership of "Myriad Worlds" has not started yet, so she has enough time to rest.
Really having nothing to do, she pestered Long Aotian and wanted to join him as a volunteer to rescue stray animals in the city.
This is her first day as a volunteer.
Not long after they left the house, Long Aotian and he discovered a little puppy that was so cold that it was already squinting.
Two people took the dog to the volunteer base for a check-up and found that in addition to being malnourished, the puppy also suffered from severe parvovirus.
According to modern medicine, it is not difficult to treat, but the puppy will suffer very much.
Lin Qiao squatted next to the puppy, looking into its dark and clear eyes, feeling depressed and uncomfortable in her heart, and her memories could not help but drift away...
In fact, when she was a child, there was a dog at home.
It was an old dog. It was either a breed dog or a village dog. The family had raised it for many years, even before she was born.
When she was sensible, she often heard her father mention that this dog saved his life.
Lin Qiao's father used to be a freight driver. He was driving goods home at night. The road was slippery on a rainy day on a mountain road. The car overturned and he lost consciousness.
The old dog at home, I don’t know if it has developed spirituality after being raised for many years, but it was able to run more than ten miles alone and found Father Lin.
It guarded Father Lin all night, and kept licking his face, and even put its body next to Father Lin.
It was this tiny bit of warmth that pulled Father Lin back from the edge of death.
Until daytime, when another car passed by the roadside, the dog rushed to the roadside regardless of life and death, attracting the attention of the cars on the road.
Soon, a passerby got out of the car to check the situation. The dog was whimpering nearby, as if he was humbly begging the passerby to save its owner.
Later, Father Lin was saved, but his leg was necrotic after being pressed for too long and had to be amputated.
But he was still very grateful to this dog. Without it, he would have lost not only his legs, but his life.
Later, Lin Qiao went to elementary school.
The dog is already over ten years old, which is considered a long life among dogs.
One day Lin Qiao came back from school and found that the dog's breathing was very weak.
She realized something was wrong, didn't even do her homework, hugged the dog and went out to find a doctor.
The doctor in the mountain village told her that she had to go to a veterinarian for treatment, but there was no one in their mountain village.
When she was little, she hugged the dog and walked a long way, hoping to find a veterinarian in the city.
Halfway through, she met Long Aotian who was traveling.
At that time, Long Aotian was still a young man, riding a bicycle and having a pair of extremely beautiful blue eyes.
Perhaps he felt that the image of a little girl holding a dog was too rare, so he stopped the car with one foot on the ground, took a camera, and took a picture of her.
Then he walked up to Lin Qiao and asked in fluent Chinese: "Little sister, where are you going with this old dog?"
Seeing that he had a car, Lin Qiao didn't care that he was a stranger, so she answered him honestly: "My dog is sick, and I want to take it to the doctor. Brother, can you take me there?"
Long Aotian looked at the anxiety in her eyes and couldn't bear to refuse: "I am a veterinarian, let me help you take a look."
Lin Qiao immediately put down the dog in her arms gently.
Long Aotian checked it out and concluded calmly: "It's too old. It's hopeless. Its organs have failed. It hurts to breathe now. Let's die peacefully."
The old dog seemed to understand, panting louder and looking at Lin Qiao with tears in his eyes.
Lin Qiao still didn't understand what these words meant. She thought the big brother was joking, but she couldn't laugh.
When Long Aotian was still trying to explain, the dog took one last deep look at Lin Qiao, and then his eyes slowly became blurred, and he lost his breathing and heartbeat.
Lin Qiao took Long Aotian's hand and said, "Can you try again, try again?"
Long Aotian saw that she didn't understand life and death, so he had to remind her: "It's useless, she's already dead."
Lin Qiao was stunned for a moment, and tears immediately flowed down her face. She still couldn't believe it, and cried and begged: "Try again, it will wake up, please..."
"..." Long Aotian really didn't know how to respond.
Slowly, Lin Qiao realized that it was impossible and could only accept this fact.
She threw herself on the ground, hugged the dog and cried.
Long Aotian never left her and stayed with her until dark.
During this period, Long Aotian kept asking her where she lived and whether he wanted to send her back. Lin Qiao was too sad to answer.
After dark, Long Aotian didn't wait any longer and picked her up directly.
It's not like holding a baby vertically, but holding it horizontally like a little princess.
He put her in his car, picked up the dog and put her in the back seat, and asked passers-by if they recognized Lin Qiao.
After asking for the address, he sent her and the dog home.
…
Lin Qiao thought this incident was an episode in her life.
Until one day, the teacher told her that there was an overseas Chinese who knew that her family was poor and was willing to bear all the expenses for her schooling.
The teacher also comforted her and told her not to feel inferior, and that asking her to study hard was a way of giving back to others.
Lin Qiao will not feel inferior. Her mother often teaches her that their family's difficulties are not caused by indolence, but by accidents and misfortunes. Therefore, it is not shameful for them to accept subsidies, but they must remember those kindnesses. When they grow up, they must
repay.
So she is grateful to the person who sponsored her.
She learned his name through the money transfer information.
At that time, he did not have this Chinese name, it was a very long foreign name.
Every time she got her exam results, she would send him an email to express her gratitude.
She has been following his news and learned that he later became a veterinarian and rescued animals for charity around the world.
Later, when Lin Qiao became an adult and got into the university of her choice, she wrote to Long Aotian saying that she wanted to meet him. Long Aotian happened to be passing through here and came to see her.
She walked around Beicheng with Long Aotian for three days. When Long Aotian was about to leave, she mustered up the courage to confess to him.
She grew up, reunited with him, and fell in love with him.
…
The thoughts return to the present.
Lin Qiao looked at the puppy in the incubator and suddenly asked Long Aotian: "Longlong, do you still remember my old dog?"
Long Aotian nodded silently.
Of course he remembered it, that was the beginning of their story.
In fact, Long Aotian was unable to extend the life of her dog, and she really regretted and blamed herself.
It's also his fault for not being good at studying.
The veterinary medicine major he studied was actually chosen randomly.
He had a fight with a boy who was studying medicine, and the boy beat him to death. It hurt him terribly, but he avoided the vital points perfectly, and even an examination of the injury could not detect it.
The man studying medicine said, "I studied medicine just to beat you and avoid going to jail."
Long Aotian replied at that time: "Then I have to study veterinary medicine for you, because you are such a beast."
Then he went to study veterinary medicine.
This is not something he likes, and he just goes to school to dawdle.
Until I met Lin Qiao.
He sent Lin Qiao and the dog home out of kindness.
Lin Qiao's parents sadly buried the old dog and treated Long Aotian to the best things at home.
Even if he didn't help at all.
Having been pampered since childhood, he realized for the first time that there are families in the world who can live in such hardship.
But that family looks like a gray iron box, but when opened it is full of optimism and goodwill towards life.
It was also from then on that he decided to become a veterinarian and treat small animals for free.
The purpose is to allow such a family to have a little bit of warmth and keep it for a longer time.
…
At this moment, Lin Qiao poked the puppy's head and said to Long Aotian: "Longlong, let's adopt it. When it grows up, we will take it to fight with Sese."
Long Aotian responded with a smile: "Okay, when it grows up, I will sterilize it myself!"
The puppy shivered in the incubator.
For so many years, Lin Qiao has never dared to keep a pet because she could never forget the way the dog looked at her before it died.
Long Aotian didn't dare to keep a pet because he couldn't forget the way Lin Qiao held his hand and cried, begging him to "try again".
They are afraid of experiencing such sadness again, so they refuse to have those warm and happy processes.
But this time, they are no longer afraid of losing.
If you have love to shelter you from the wind and rain, you will not be afraid of sadness and separation.

(Thank you again for your support, thank you for accompanying Jiujiu, Lu Lu and their friends to grow up, and thank you for watching their lives.
If nothing else, the new book should be set in the same era, the story of Apple's program "Love in All Worlds", in which a group of guests record a love show in various dimensions of the universe. The style is still funny and sweet, plus
A little bit of humanistic science fiction, I hope to meet you again in the new book~(?ω?)?)
