Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 706 - 442: Gan Yanyu Wants to Raise Rabbit_2
The only thing that somewhat meets Lin Tian's criteria is a dog, but since Lin Tian can barely take care of himself, owning a dog would be even more troublesome.
So Lin Tian chose not to adopt; he feels indifferent toward any small animal.
Especially kittens.
But upon hearing Gan Yanyu say this, he still stepped forward.
He bent down to observe.
Inside the glass enclosure was a young kitten, with three different colors of patterns interwoven on its back.
To be honest, it looked both cute and handsome. Lin Tian admitted it was quite pleasing to the eye.
The adjacent bilingual labels in both German and English described its breed and price.
Calico cat, if converted... it's about three thousand yuan...
Calico cat? Three thousand?!
Upon calculating, Lin Tian was in disbelief and couldn't accept it.
A regular little farm cat, aren't you catching mice in the countryside? Change your name to something European, and I wouldn't recognize you, right?!
Still priced at three thousand!
Lin Tian suddenly felt the cat wasn't that cute after all.
"Knock knock knock—"
At this moment, Gan Yanyu gently tapped on the glass window with her index finger, trying to attract the kitten's attention.
Once the kitten looked over,
Gan Yanyu raised her hand, made a claw gesture, and gave the kitten a sweet smile:
"Meow～～"
"...."
—Kill me now.
Lin Tian clutched his chest.
At this moment, other male tourists nearby couldn't help but look over, exclaiming in their hearts:
—OMG, an angel!!
Lin Tian decided not to attack Hakimi for the time being.
Because the cutest kitten in the world had already been adopted by Lin Tian.
"Are you here to buy this cat?"
Lin Tian asked.
Even though he thought spending three thousand yuan in Vienna for a calico cat was nonsense.
But if Gan Yanyu liked it, it wasn't a big deal; Lin Tian could tolerate living under the same roof with two little cats.
Of course, Lin Tian had conditions.
Since you're buying a kitten, you better learn from it properly!
After hearing Gan Yanyu's last call, Lin Tian quickly added "cat girl" to the top of the post-marriage play plan.
And this one definitely goes to the top!
"No, I don't want to adopt this one."
Gan Yanyu stood up. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Lin Tian was a bit surprised—there was something even cuter?
Gan Yanyu walked deeper into the pet shop, and Lin Tian followed.
They left the carefully protected glass enclosure of cats and dogs, heading towards an area with small animals locked in sturdy, simple cages.
Soon, Gan Yanyu stopped in front of a small cage.
She held Lin Tian's hand and said:
"I want to buy this one."
Lin Tian was stunned and looked over.
In the simple little cage was a small white rabbit.
Its entire body was snow-white, but the texture of its skin looked poor, and the rabbit didn't seem to be in good condition.
While other rabbits in neighboring cages were bouncing lively, this one stayed still, curled up in the corner of the cage.
Compared to the kitten earlier, this rabbit was far from it.
"Is it dead?"
Lin Tian doubted the rabbit's condition and reached out his finger to poke the Rabbit.
Gan Yanyu instantly reached out to stop Lin Tian, and soon, the rabbit shivered slightly at Lin Tian's touch, slowly turning its body.
Not dead?
Lin Tian watched as the little rabbit turned, and upon seeing the rabbit's eyes, Lin Tian was stunned.
Emotion.
Lin Tian seldom sees "emotion" in the eyes of small animals, especially little mammals like rabbits.
Because most animals don't express emotions on their faces or represent emotions through crying.
The so-called emotions on the faces of most animals are usually imagined by humans.
But,
Upon seeing the Rabbit at first glance.
Lin Tian was certain he could feel—the rabbit was deeply embedded in some emotion at this moment.
Is this... Meng Po Soup not fully drunk?
Lin Tian sneered silently.
Honestly, adopting such a small animal would indeed be quite unlucky.
The only purpose of small animals is to provide emotional value to their owners.
But you have a pet that gives you a deadpan face every day, who can stand that?
"I want to adopt it."
When Gan Yanyu uttered these words, Lin Tian was indeed a bit surprised.
He turned his head, looking incredulously at Gan Yanyu,
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
Gan Yanyu nodded, her eyes still focused on the rabbit's eyes.
"Alright."
Since Gan Yanyu said so, Lin Tian didn't say much, standing up.
At this moment,
A shop assistant seemed to notice Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu's intention, and before Lin Tian could call for help, a female assistant came over.
"(Hello, can I help you with anything?)" the female assistant asked.
"(We want this one.)"
Lin Tian pointed to the cage.
The assistant initially smiled as she looked over to where Lin Tian pointed, but soon her smile turned awkward,
"(Sorry, but this little rabbit is not for sale. You can choose another one instead.)"
"(Why?)" Lin Tian asked puzzledly.
Could it be that this rabbit is their mascot?
Not worried about bad luck?
"(Well, this rabbit has a congenital heart condition and won't live much longer. It's already remarkable that it has grown so big in the store, but its life can't continue for long. If you take it home, you won't be able to keep it for very long.)" the assistant explained.
"Congenital heart condition?"
Lin Tian was stunned.
He was somewhat familiar with the disease.
It's likely weakening of the heart from birth, with symptoms like frequent coughing and rapid breathing, and decreased exercise capacity.
Such diseases are more common in large dogs and are rare in little white rabbits, mostly due to genetic and metabolic abnormalities.
Moreover, this abnormal thickening of the heart muscles is extremely damaging to the heart and highly prone to sudden death.
For this rabbit to grow to such a size is indeed a miracle.
"(Its name is Qiqi, and I watched it grow all this time.)"
As she spoke, the assistant's eyes suddenly turned gentle,
"(Normally, rabbits like this with illnesses would be disposed of by our shop, but it has always been so resiliently alive that we couldn't bear it, so we kept raising it with other rabbits like a normal one.)"
Lin Tian said nothing further.
He withdrew his earlier unkind words about the Rabbit.
Considering...
The Rabbit was indeed tough.
But even so, this should be the end of the matter.
After all, it's a rabbit with a condition, and from a human standpoint, if this rabbit suddenly dies one day, it would be incredibly inauspicious.
And even from a compassionate standpoint.
One simply couldn't bear it.
No one has the courage to adopt a pet that is destined to die.
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were about to compete soon, and during the upcoming period, they would be in intensive training, leaving them with no time to care for a rabbit that was about to die.
Moreover, Lin Tian didn't know if the Rabbit would die.
But if they didn't win the Keller Cup and Lin Tian couldn't marry Gan Yanyu, Lin Tian would truly die.
"Gan, we...."
"I want to adopt it."
Gan Yanyu said.
The girl raised her head, seriously looking at Lin Tian.
"The first time I saw it, I felt that its eyes... were a lot like mine...."
Gan Yanyu's gaze slowly lowered, her voice becoming gentle.
Then, the girl gazed at the rabbit and murmured:
"So it is... a heart condition... are you the same...."
Lin Tian was dumbfounded.
He didn't have a chance to verify what Gan Yanyu meant by "the same".
The girl then earnestly said again,
"I want to keep it!"
Then, carefully, she looked at Lin Tian,
"Can... can I?"
Although the assistant didn't understand Chinese, she seemed to guess the meaning from their tone and expressions.
"(If you genuinely like it... then just take it with you, no charge.)"
"(Just... be kind to it.)" the assistant said with a smile.
"Alright."
Seeing Gan Yanyu's determined eyes, Lin Tian eventually nodded.
At that moment, a familiar voice in Japanese suddenly came from behind.
"(I told you, Isaac, did you really have to come here...)
