Fang Ping stayed by Zhou Chenchen's bedside the whole time, only interrupted when the doctor and the young nurse came in to check on her condition.
Zhou's Dad and the hospital director waited outside.
No one knew how long had passed before Zhou Chenchen's eyelashes twitched, and her eyes slowly opened.
Her black eyes were clear and beautiful but quickly showed a hint of confusion and puzzlement.
She looked up at the ceiling.
Who am I?
Where am I?
After a brief moment of daze, Zhou Chenchen finally realized she was lying in a hospital bed.
She remembered she had a fever and was sent to the hospital.
Now awake, she felt much better, and her head was less dizzy.
She turned to one side and saw Fang Ping crouching by the bed, staring at her with his cat eyes.
"Lord, you came to see me!"
"How's your eating?"
"Is my dad taking good care of you?"
Zhou Chenchen immediately cheered up.
She reached out her hand, wanting Fang Ping to jump up.
Fang Ping twitched his tail, looked at his paws, but didn't move.
His feet had been outside and weren't very clean; stepping on the bed would be bad.
"Why do you only ask about Lord?"
"Don't you want to ask about me?"
"After all, I'm your dad. Shouldn't you care about me too?"
Zhou's Dad walked in from the outside.
He had heard his daughter's voice in the lounge and knew she had woken up, so he came back into the room.
The hospital director and two doctors also came in with him.
"I do care!"
"I just asked Lord if you're taking good care of him!"
Zhou Chenchen was happy to see her dad inside.
She had thought he'd leave right after sending Lord over, and that would have made her sad.
Zhou's Dad's face darkened a bit—his status was even lower than a cat.
Girls just can't be held back!
"He's fine."
"But I'm not so good."
"I almost got bitten by a snake."
Zhou's Dad deliberately said something to worry his daughter.
Fang Ping looked at Zhou's Dad.
Do you feel guilty saying that? Trying to gain sympathy?
You were so far from the snake—if anyone should have been bitten, it would have been me.
I didn't say anything, though.
But Fang Ping couldn't talk, so naturally, he couldn't expose Zhou's Dad.
Zhou's Dad glanced at Fang Ping proudly.
That's right—since you can't talk, I can say whatever I want.
If you dared speak up, I'd have you turned into slices!
"What?"
"A snake?"
"Where did the snake come from?"
Hearing this, Zhou Chenchen looked at her dad with concern.
She didn't know what happened at noon.
Besides, girls are generally afraid of snakes; hearing about one made her scared.
This wasn't a joke.
"At lunch, a snake somehow got out of the restaurant and appeared in our private room."
"Your Lord made a merit today—he caught the snake."
"Otherwise, we might have been bitten."
Zhou's Dad briefly explained, inevitably mentioning Fang Ping's heroic moment catching the snake.
Though not detailed, Zhou Chenchen could imagine the scene.
"Is Lord okay? Was he bitten?"
"You should avoid snakes when you see them, right?"
"Don't be so reckless next time."
Before she finished, she looked back at Fang Ping and earnestly warned him.
Zhou's Dad paused, unable to continue.
He had wanted his daughter to care about him, but in the end, it was still that cat who got her attention. Was all his talk in vain?
Female Secretary nearby couldn't help but suppress a smile.
But in the live streaming room, viewers had no such restraint.
"Father-in-law got KO'd again, losing to Lord."
"Father-in-law: I said it was so serious, but my daughter still doesn't care about me. It hurts."
"Father-in-law, I think your status in your daughter's heart is lower than Lord's, no objections?"
"Father-in-law has never beaten Lord, come on!"
Fang Ping looked at Zhou Chenchen, then Zhou's Dad, and raised his front paw toward Zhou's Dad.
"What does he mean?" Zhou's Dad asked, not understanding.
After all, he'd only been around Fang Ping less than a day.
"Lord wants to come up," Zhou Chenchen explained.
"But his paws are a bit dirty."
"He wants you to clean them for him."
Zhou Chenchen smiled.
She and Fang Ping had such a tacit understanding that she immediately got what he meant.
At home, Fang Ping always asked to have his paws cleaned before jumping on the bed to play with her.
Zhou Chenchen was very satisfied with this—she was a clean person too.
Zhou's Dad's face darkened again.
That little rascal really treats himself like the cat's master.
Still, he looked around for a towel to clean Fang Ping's paws.
What could he do? His daughter spoiled this cat!
Besides, Lord was actually sensible, knowing not to jump on the bed dirty. This made Zhou's Dad somewhat relieved.
"President Zhou!"
"I'll do it!"
Female Secretary found a wet towel and carefully wiped Fang Ping's front and back paws.
Fang Ping lowered his head to check and sniffed once, then arched his back and jumped onto the bed.
Zhou Chenchen, dressed in her hospital gown, reached out and hugged Fang Ping.
"Lord, let me see—have you lost weight?"
She looked him over carefully.
"Can a cat lose weight?"
"He eats more than I do and better than I do."
Zhou's Dad felt a little jealous and somewhat unfair.
"Dad! Don't compete with him. You said so much, did he ever argue back?"
Zhou Chenchen finally saw that Zhou's Dad wasn't getting along with Lord.
That comment!
Zhou's Dad was left speechless!
When you say things to others and they don't fight back, you should feel embarrassed to continue.
That's what his daughter meant.
But this cat couldn't talk!
For the first time, Zhou's Dad felt that having a cat as his rival was quite scary.
Because justice was on the cat's side, and he could only play the villain.
This time it was Fang Ping's turn to be smug!
He looked at Zhou's Dad with cat eyes, twitching his tail.
See!
I don't say a word,
yet I can defeat you instantly!
Zhou's Dad understood this time and felt like spitting blood.
The afternoon passed leisurely amid Zhou's Dad's laughter and Fang Ping's silent composure!
