Last Chinese New Year, my whole family was going back to our hometown for the Spring Festival. Since there was no one to take care of Little Luoyang, I brought it along. Fortunately, it didn’t get carsick. During the five – six – hour drive, it didn’t show any signs of tiredness. After bringing it home, fearing that it might not get used to the new environment, I took meticulous care of it, sleeping and waking up with it. It would wake me up at five or six o’clock every morning, and I never got angry with it.
We were originally supposed to return to Guiyang on the eighth day of the first lunar month, but in order to give it the third – dose vaccine, we came back on the fourth day of the first lunar month, sacrificing part of the Spring Festival. One of my classmates was getting married on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and I had promised to attend, but I didn’t go because that was the last day for Little Luoyang’s vaccine. So I would rather offend someone than miss taking Little Luoyang to get vaccinated. During the more than five – hour drive back to Guiyang, it was just me and it. I was afraid it would feel lonely, so after driving for a while, I would stop to stroke it and play with it. That’s how we finally arrived in Guiyang.
Later, my nephew came. He is a lovely boy and adored Little Luoyang, but he didn’t know how to express his love. So he always hugged it too tightly and chased after it, which scared Little Luoyang to death. Whenever it saw my nephew, it would hide and even ask me for help. I loved my nephew so much, but because of Little Luoyang’s sad eyes, I hardened my heart and prohibited my nephew from getting too close to Little Luoyang.
At most, my nephew could play with Little Luoyang for a while every day, and I had to supervise them during playtime to prevent my nephew from doing anything too excessive to Little Luoyang. Later, when my nephew was going home, before leaving, he begged me to give him the cat. He said he liked Little Luoyang and would take good care of it. As an uncle, I had never bought anything for my nephew. Giving him a cat shouldn’t be too much, right? But I just couldn’t bear to part with Little Luoyang, so I refused him with a heavy heart. Alas, for the sake of Little Luoyang, I had really reached the point of being willing to go against my family.
After that, Yuanyuan and I saw a little dog outside. It was a very cute stray dog. Yuanyuan wanted to adopt it, and I couldn’t refuse, so I agreed. We bought sausages to tempt the dog to get in the car. When I saw Yuanyuan trying hard to trick the dog into coming home, I suddenly felt a great sense of guilt. I really felt guilty and extremely uncomfortable. I thought, if we really adopted this dog, what would happen to Little Luoyang? Would it think that I didn’t love it anymore and that I had a new pet outside?
Many times I wanted to say, let’s not adopt it. This stray dog might bully Little Luoyang. I felt so guilty that I wanted to cry. Later, this dog didn’t fall for the trick and just refused to get in the car. After eating the two sausages I bought, it ran away triumphantly. Although I felt like I had been fooled by this stray dog, I wasn’t angry because I finally didn’t do anything to betray Little Luoyang. Later, we also met some cute cats and I wanted to take them home, but because of Little Luoyang, I gave up those thoughts. I will treat Little Luoyang well for the rest of my life and let it enjoy my exclusive love.
In conclusion, I have truly given Little Luoyang my best, my gentlest, my most patient, and my most tender feelings.
