Naturally, no one was found.
The driver drove back as instructed. Passing a square, Qin Zun looked at the circular flower bed outside the window. Not far away, there was a large group of pigeons. Sometimes they landed on the square, and sometimes they flew up and landed on the towering stone landscape in the center of the flower bed.
"Stop the car and wait here."
Qin Zun got out of the car and walked towards the flower bed alone. He stood quietly behind the flower bed, looking at the woman who was feeding pigeons with her hands not far away across the stone landscape.
At this moment, her expression seemed so leisurely and relaxed, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. She no longer had the irritability and depression that she had when she stayed at home.
Qin Zun was also quietly enjoying this rare peace and relaxation.
Only when he saw Tonghua had fed the pigeons with all the bread slices in her hand and was sitting alone by the flower bed did Qin Zun walk over silently.
He sat silently side by side with Tonghua, without considering whether sitting anywhere was in line with his identity as a president. Tonghua was not surprised when she saw him, as if she had expected him to find her.
The two sat quietly, looking at the pigeons around them.
"Did you have fun out today?"
"I thought you would first ask me why I didn't obey and leave the house, and why I didn't answer your calls."
"It's my fault. I've been neglecting your feelings for a long time."
For the sake of this child, he asked Tonghua to do many things that she didn't like, such as not allowing her to walk too much, not allowing her to leave home, and not allowing her to eat spicy food, for fear of hurting the baby in her belly.
But he ignored the personal feelings of the fairy tale.
Qin Zun put his arm around Tonghua's shoulders, his tone filled with tenderness and affection: "Do you want to eat hot pot?"
Tonghua raised his chin, a hint of pride in his eyes: "No, I want to eat at a roadside stall!"
"good!"
Hand in hand, the two of them ran to the roadside stall nearby. Tonghua was responsible for eating, and Qin Zun was responsible for following behind her to pay. In this way, Tonghua ate until her belly was full and then went home with Qin Zun in satisfaction.
As soon as she got home, Butler Li came to greet her with an excited look on his face: "Young Madam, you are finally back!"
Tonghua showed a trace of embarrassment on her face. She had heard on the way back that after the housekeeper found out that she was missing, he was so anxious that he almost turned the whole villa upside down. Because of her, so many people were thrown into chaos. Tonghua felt a little guilty.
She assured him, "I just suddenly wanted to go out and relax. I won't do it again."
"I'm glad you're back, Madam!"
As soon as Tonghua returned to the room, he went straight to the southwest corner of the room, where he made a small nest for the kitten and named it "Xiaoguai".
Originally, Qin Zun strongly forbade Xiaoguai to be placed in their room because he was a mysophobe and disliked cats that shed hair. However, as time went on, he could not resist Tonghua's nagging and even her tantrums, and finally Qin Zun agreed to place a cat bed in the corner of the room, but that was all.
When Tonghua stayed at home, she had nothing to do except the kitten to keep her company and pass the time. Every night before going to bed, Tonghua would play and chat with the kitten before going to bed. However, Qin Zun still didn't like the kitten very much.
When Tonghua reached the cat's nest, he did not see the kitten inside as usual.
Fairy Tale began to call the kitten: "Little cutie, where are you?"
She began to look for Xiaoguai everywhere in the room. Because the room was big and the cat was small, she could only search every corner bit by bit.
After seeing the cat disappear, Qin Zun felt a little annoyed.
"Could it have gotten on the bed?"
As he said that, he walked towards the bed and wanted to lift the quilt to take a look.
"Wait!" Tonghua stopped him immediately. "Don't move. I'll go find it by myself. Xiaoguai is so small. What if you accidentally step on it?"
Hearing this, Qin Zun shrugged his shoulders and had to stay where he was quietly.
Tonghua walked carefully, fearing that the kitten would suddenly jump out, or that she would accidentally step on it if she didn't see it. After all, the floor of the bedroom was covered with brightly colored carpets, and Xiaoguai was a calico cat, so it was not easy to be seen.
Time passed little by little. Qin Zun watched Tonghua search the room by herself but couldn't find the kitten. He then offered a suggestion: "Your stomach is not convenient for you to bend over right now. You should ask the servants to help you look for it. You can go to the side and rest for a while."
Tonghua flatly refused: "No! Xiaoguai is very timid. He only recognizes me. If he sees more people, he might have a stress reaction. I can't take that risk."
Although Tonghua usually does not have to do anything in the villa, she takes care of every aspect of Xiaoguai herself, bathing him, combing his hair, feeding him, etc. every day. Even Xiaoguai's cat bed, toys and snacks are all prepared by Tonghua herself.
The little guy was obviously used to Tonghua's care. As long as she was the only one who could hold Xiaoguai, anyone else who wanted to get closer to Xiaoguai would be scolded by her.
Qin Zun frowned, a little worried: "You have been looking for so long now, take a break first..."
"Wait, listen!" Tonghua held her breath and tilted her ear to listen carefully to the sounds in the house, "I think I just heard Xiaoguai's cry..."
Hearing this, Qin Zun also listened quietly to the sounds in the house. After a while, he seemed to hear a cat's meow.
“Meow—”
Tonghua asked, "Did you hear which direction it came from? It felt like it was there, but also like it was here."
Qin Zun felt it carefully and finally decided on a direction: "Why do I feel that it is there?"
Tonghua followed Qin Zun's gaze and said, "The ceiling? Impossible! Xiaoguai is still a kitten less than two months old, how could he possibly get in... Hey, it's really there!"
There was a circle of plaster line on the ceiling of the bedroom, but this circle of plaster line was not the kind that fit tightly with the ceiling. Instead, there was a gap of about ten centimeters. At this time, the kitten stuck half of its head out and stumbled on it.
Fairy Tale watched the kitten walking crookedly from below, and felt anxious, afraid that the kitten would fall down accidentally.
"We have to find a way to get Xiaoguai down!"
Qin Zun asked the butler Li to bring a stool, preparing to step on it to pick up the kitten, but because the butler was not tall enough, he called a few more people over one after another.
Without exception, they are not tall enough.
