The Veterinarian (1v1) (H) - 55
Chapter 55 - Remove them for me.
The hotel Shen An booked was twenty minutes drive from the
clinic.
As soon as he arrived, someone tapped on his shoulder. He
turned around and saw the person beside him. He chuckled, "Did I keep you
waiting?"
The visitor had short, granny-grey hair. He was wearing a sleeveless vest, a leather jacket, and large baggy pants.
"It's so cold. I haven't been out for long." Wang
Chengxue rubbed his arms and said secretly to Shen, "I thought you’re on
your way. So I decided to smoke and wait for you."
"Let’s go in." Shen An took the lead and walked
inside.
The waiter opened the door and led the two of them to the
reserved private room.
When walking through the hall, many people were first
attracted by Shen An's face, and then were fascinated by Wang Chengxue's big
pants. Muffled laughter could be heard from everywhere.
It's October, and the weather has already dropped.
Some people are already wearing long johns for insulation, and you won’t find
anyone with their bare arms exposed on the street.
When he arrived at the private room, Wang Chengxue turned
on the air conditioner and took off his leather jacket. The two exposed arms
were covered with tattoos. The waiter only glanced at it, lowered his eyes, and
handed the menu to Shen An.
"Six signature dishes will be served first, followed
by four special dishes." Shen An said and looked at Wang Chengxue,
"Would you like to drink?"
Wang Chengxue shook his head, “We’re surrounded by
strangers; let’s hold off on drinking tonight.”
He wasn't afraid of drinking, he was just worried about
Shen An.
Not many people knew about what happened the last time, but
he did.
"Okay, let's start with this. If it's not enough,
we'll order again." Shen An handed the menu to the waiter and ordered two
more hot teas. After the waiter closed the door and went out, he asked Wang
Chengxue, "How’s the business lately?"
"Not bad."
The tattoo parlor opened by Wang Chengxue is very famous in
Tongcheng. It can accept about twenty apprentices every month, and they have to
pay a fee to learn.
His grandfather's generation started doing this, and it has
been passed down to him. More than ten years ago, a gang started
causing them problems, he thought the store would be destroyed.
Wang Chengxue’s grandfather knelt on the ground and begged
the gangsters to show them mercy. He on the other hand, just stood there with
his head held high and pulled his grandfather up.
It was at that moment that Shen An appeared and said
something to the gangsters. From then on, the gangsters never came to trouble
them again.
Wang Chengxue will always remember his kindness.
His grandfather also mentioned that his family owed Shen An
a huge favor and instructed Wang Chengxue to never forget to repay their debt.
However, Wang Chengxue didn't expect that the repayment
would be to give Shen An a tattoo.
"You really don't need to treat me to dinner for such
a small matter. I just thought that I haven't had a meal with Brother An for a
long time, so I came here shamelessly." Wang Chengxue has a wide network
of contacts and knows everyone in the city's police station.
He’s an honest man and a very trustworthy friend of Shen
An.
"I've been troubling you for a long time. I've been
unable to get over it." Shen An said, raising the teacup to him,
"I'll replace the wine with tea."
"Okay." Wang Chengxue clinked glasses with him
cheerfully.
After the food was served, the two chatted for more than an
hour while eating. No one was restrained and continued chatting even after Wang
Chengxue received a phone call from his father.
"My apprentices are still asking about you."
Senior Wang Cheng is darker, has bright eyes, and has a deep dimple on the
right cheek when he speaks, "I told them, our Brother An is awesome! Haha!”
Wang Chengxue boasted about Shen An when he met everyone,
saying that Shen An was the first person he met who got a tattoo that did not
require anesthesia, and that all the tattoos were from the neck down.
In comparison, those young people who get a tattoo the size
of a fingernail scream for anesthesia like noobs.
What he didn't say was that Shen An didn't use anesthesia for
tattoo removal as well.
Wang Chengxue still remembers that night four years ago,
Shen An appeared in front of him dressed in all black.
After taking off his clothes, he discovered that his entire
chest and back were covered with bloody wounds, and underneath those wounds
were messy tattoos.
Shen An raised his head, his eyes were as dark as the
abyss, and said to him: "Remove them for me."
