Tales from the Veterinary Clinic

This is a charity novel. [See the author’s note in Chapter 1 for details]

Zhou Shuyang

An undergrad from one of Zhongcheng’s worst universities, unemployed right after graduation.

To answer the nation’s call, he decides to start a business.

With the money his family received from relocation compensation,

he plans to open a veterinary clinic in Binhai New District.

Gay, a pure top.

Situ Yue

An undergraduate from the Veterinary Medicine College of the Capital Agricultural University.

After graduation, he can’t afford a home in the capital,

so he packs his things and rolls back to his hometown, Zhongcheng,

planning to find a job at a veterinary hospital.

Gay, and also a pure top.

By chance, the two tops meet,

and hit it off immediately.

You provide the money, I provide the expertise.

And that’s how they get their veterinary clinic up and running.

One day, the two of them

wander into Zhongcheng’s famous gay bar, Other Shore.

One has his arm around a little bottom, the other is holding a cute bottom.

They look up and see each other, and... it’s awkward.

Zhou Shuyang: “Y-you...”

Situ Yue: “Heh, what a coincidence!”

Another day,

they’re performing a neutering operation on a stray cat.

Zhou Shuyang glances at the testicles in the tray

and says cheekily, “I hear eating something replenishes it?”

Situ Yue puts an arm around his waist

and makes a double entendre: “How about we give it a try?”
