2323 Twins
Qiao Jierou’s tone became anxious. “Which hotel are you staying in now? I heard that you’re not staying in the hotel arranged for us by the organizers. When Grandpa and Grandma found out, they were very worried and specially asked me to ask you where you’re staying. After all, this is a foreign country, and we’re unfamiliar with the place. You’re alone, and you only have an a.s.sistant who doesn’t know anything with you. If something happens, no one can bear the responsibility. So, why don’t you tell me where you’re staying? We can take care of each other. Why don’t you move to our hotel so that I can give Grandpa and Grandma an explanation?”
She put the words nicely, and Lin Heng’s gaze on her was gentle.
However, Qiao Weiyang knew what she was up to. Now that the compet.i.tion was about to begin, Qiao Jierou’s design draft was probably not even complete yet. Her anxiety was written all over her face. Qiao Weiyang had seen through everything, but Lin Heng was oblivious.
Qiao Weiyang even pitied Lin Heng for his poor intelligence.
The more anxious Qiao Jierou was, the more Qiao Weiyang wanted to make things worse for her. She said calmly, “Oh, I don’t understand German. What’s the name of the hotel I’m staying in? I can’t remember it myself.”
“Then we’ll go back with you. After packing up, you can go back to our hotel to stay!” Qiao Jierou took the opportunity to say.
Lin Heng couldn’t help but say, “Weiyang, Jierou is right. Although this is the capital, it’s inevitable that it’ll be troublesome since there’s a language barrier. It’s better for us to stay together and take care of each other.”
“We’ll talk about it later. I still have to meet my friends. I’ll think about it later and inform you guys of my decision.” Qiao Weiyang had a smile on her face, but it was full of teasing.
“Sister, let’s take this opportunity to spend some time together!” Qiao Jierou said and went forward to hold her hand.
Qiao Weiyang avoided it and said seriously, “I still have to shop for a while. Please help yourselves. Let’s not disturb each other anymore.”
She turned around and left. Qiao Jierou was extremely anxious to chase after her.
“Jierou, alright, let’s take a break first.” Lin Heng held her hand and said, “Look at Weiyang. She’s still angry about what happened last night. It’s not that she’s not considering our suggestion at all. I think she’ll soon think things through and move to the hotel we’re staying in.”
Qiao Jierou’s nails dug into her palm. “But I’m really worried that Sister…”
“Don’t be worried. The security here is very good. If you’re really worried, let’s follow her and see what she does,” Lin Heng suggested.
Qiao Jierou couldn’t wait and hurriedly followed behind Qiao Weiyang with Lin Heng.
Qiao Weiyang had no intention of resuming shopping, nor did she want to meet the two of them again. She strolled toward the streets around the mall.
What entered her sight were buildings with German characteristics, which made her linger.
She walked into a long alley and heard a female voice calling out anxiously and softly, “Romeo? Romeo? Romeo, where are you?”
She lifted her skirt and walked over, almost knocking into Qiao Weiyang.
She hurriedly dodged, but she lost her balance and fell to the side.
Qiao Weiyang reached out to help her up and said in German, “Be careful.”
“Thank you.” She smiled very kindly at Qiao Weiyang. “Miss, have you seen a kitten nearby? He’s this big, gray, and his eyes are blue.”
“Sorry, I didn’t see it. Did you lose your cat?” Qiao Weiyang asked.
“That’s right. He’s still injured, and his leg is still limping. If he gets lost like this, it’ll definitely be difficult for him to survive outside.” The lady was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Although Qiao Weiyang didn’t raise cats and dogs, she liked them very much. Seeing her so sad, she asked softly, “Are you sure you didn’t see him here?”
“Yes. He was originally a stray cat. He was very pitiful. I saw that he was injured and got very close to him. I originally planned to take him to see a vet, but when I walked here, he ran away. He’s already injured. He’s so thin and small too. If no one takes care of him, he probably won’t live for more than a few days.”
Qiao Weiyang thought for a moment and found a type of leaf in a corner. She held it in her hand and rubbed it, then placed it at the bottom of the wall.
The lady didn’t know what was going on, but seeing that Qiao Weiyang was skilled and confident, she didn’t say anything.
She squatted beside Qiao Weiyang and quietly looked at the place where the leaf was placed.
A moment later, they heard a very soft meow.
“Meow~”
The lady was overjoyed. “He’s back…”
“Shh…” Qiao Weiyang made a shus.h.i.+ng gesture.
The kitten came over very quickly. He walked to the leaf and sniffed gently. Qiao Weiyang reached out and touched his head. He looked at Qiao Weiyang warily, then he lay down and closed his eyes. He looked very tame.
“Wow, you’re amazing! How did you summon him?” the lady asked in surprise.
“This is a very small catnip leaf. Usually, it doesn’t emit a smell, but if you rub it hard, it’ll emit a fragrance that is attractive to cats. They’ll come over voluntarily,” Qiao Weiyang explained simply.
“My name is Hannah. I named the kitten Romeo. What’s your name?”
“My name is Qiao Weiyang. h.e.l.lo, Hannah. h.e.l.lo, Romeo.” Qiao Weiyang reached out and rubbed Romeo’s head again.
“h.e.l.lo, Qiao. Romeo, come and say h.e.l.lo to Qiao.” Hannah felt a sense of closeness to Qiao Weiyang at first sight, and her tone was very intimate.
Qiao Weiyang reached out and continued to touch Romeo’s claws. When she found that his leg was indeed injured, she couldn’t help but say, “He must’ve broken a bone in his leg before this. It’s grown back, but because no one had taken care of him previously, his bones are crooked. That’s why he can’t walk steadily.”
“Ah, I see.” Hannah’s eyes were full of pity. “How very sad.”
Qiao Weiyang thought for a moment. An ordinary veterinarian might not be able to treat this kind of injury and recover the kitten’s leg to its original state without any problems, but she was confident.
“Hannah, if you trust me, I can fix your kitty.”
“Alright, I believe you! You’re from S Country, right? I know that the east has some very mysterious skills. What’s that called? Reviving the dead, healing flesh and bones… Is that right?”
Qiao Weiyang couldn’t help but laugh. She didn’t know what sentence Hannah had read in some online novel.
“I can indeed treat his leg, but the process will be very painful. Romeo needs to bear the pain, but it’ll be very fast, not too long. He doesn’t even need anesthesia,” Qiao Weiyang said. She took out two pairs of medical gloves from her bag. “You have to help hold him down.”
