Mr. Shang, please be passionately in love after marriage.

Unlike Beijing, most shops in Jiangcheng are already closed by 10 p.m., and with the hot summer weather, there aren't many pedestrians on the streets.

The hotel the organizers booked for them was in a good location; there was a food street about 900 meters away.

This is an authentic snack street known only to locals in Jiangcheng. It's different from those trendy snack streets that have been created online, and the flavors are more genuine.

Cen hope didn't need navigation; she simply led Xu You towards the food street.

The rain stopped.

The sweltering heat subsided slightly at night.

Cen hope changed into an apricot-colored short skirt, revealing her long, white, and straight legs.

Xu You genuinely liked it: "If you don't sleep with me tonight, I want to touch you."

Cen hope was startled by her words. "Are you serious?"

"Haha, is that not allowed?"

The two chatted and laughed along the way.

"Meow~"

In the quiet atmosphere, the faint sound of a kitten meow could be heard.

At first, both of them thought they had misheard.

"Dr. Cen, did you hear the kitten meowing?"

Cen hope looked around but couldn't find the kitten. "I heard it, but I couldn't find the kitten."

"Hey, I saw it!"

Xu You suddenly raised her voice considerably, pointing to the middle of the road, "In the middle of the road."

A mother cat with two kittens somehow ended up in the middle of the road. It was quite dark, and all that could be seen were the two tiny kittens, which looked like they had just been born.

The mother cat lay in the middle of the road, looking listless, as if she were injured.

"The cat seems to be injured."

Xu You wasn't quite sure either, so she took out her phone and zoomed in to take a picture of the cat's location.

The phone screen showed a clearer view than the naked eye, and she exclaimed, "It's really injured! The mother cat is bleeding from its leg!"

Judging from the appearance, the blood had been flowing for quite a while, and it had congealed on the hair, making it look extremely pitiful.

"That's so dangerous on the road."

Xu You frowned even more after putting down her phone. Although there weren't many cars on the road, there would always be some passing by, and it wouldn't be good if she got hurt.

"I'll go get them."

Cen hope is only afraid of dogs, but not cats.

Xu You said, "I'll go with you."

The two looked around the road and, seeing no cars, walked confidently into the middle of the road.

The mother cat, who had been lying listlessly in the middle of the road, saw someone coming and limped her front legs to protect her two kittens behind her, letting out a low growl of warning.

This is because they are worried that they might be bad people who came to catch kittens.

For a while, neither of them could get close. If they took even a tiny step closer to the kitten, the mother cat would immediately bar her teeth and raise her claws.

"Meow~"

Cen hope remembered that she had a sausage in her pocket, which she had left over from the plane. She meowed twice like a kitten, unwrapped the wrapper, and held it out towards the kitten.

Seeing this, the kitten licked its cheeks and tentatively walked towards her.

The mother cat watched, then took two steps forward as well.

"It really works!"

Xu You squatted down beside him and whispered.

People taking an evening stroll along both sides of the road noticed the situation and stopped to watch, while others took photos and videos with their phones.

Cen hope broke the sausage in half and threw it in front of the kitten.

The two kittens were probably hungry, and they lowered their heads and slowly began to eat.

Seeing that they had no ulterior motives, the mother cat loosened her sharp claws a little, but suddenly started pacing around in place, looking anxious.

Ignoring its injured leg, it used its teeth to bite the two cubs, as if trying to take them away from there.

"Perfect timing, let's each take one and grab them quickly."

Xu You said from behind, and Cen hope understood what she meant. Just as she was about to step forward and grab the kitten by the scruff of its neck, a blinding beam of headlights suddenly shone from the front.

Vehicles can pass.

They showed no sign of slowing down or giving way, and drove straight toward their location.

"Be careful!"

Seeing this, a pedestrian on the roadside shouted anxiously.

Xu You had already caught a kitten, but the blinding headlights made it hard for her to see clearly. She quickly dodged to the side, shouting, "Dr. Cen, get out of the way!"

The car lights became increasingly glaring.

Cen hope was half a second slower. She first picked up the kitten, and then reached out to grab the mother cat. At that moment, the mother cat let out a mournful cry and scratched her arm hard with its claws.

A burning, stinging sensation came over me.

Cen hope didn't care about anything else. When the car in front was still a hundred meters away from hitting her, she barely managed to avoid it by holding the two cats and moving backward. The hot air from the car after it left swept over her calves.

She dodged so dangerously that she lost her balance and fell to the ground, scraping her left calf and drawing blood.

The mother cat meowed and jumped out of her arms.

"Dr. Cen, are you alright?"

Xu You turned pale with fright and immediately stepped forward, pulled her up, and quickly moved her away from the middle of the road.

That unlucky driver is insane! He wouldn't let anyone pass, he might be drunk driving!

Xu You was holding the kitten and cursing.

Cen hope was bleeding from her arms and calves.

"fine."

She tried moving her calf, and there was nothing seriously wrong. She probably didn't break any bones; it was just a skin abrasion.

Cen hope stood up and placed the kittens on the ground. The two kittens waddled towards their mother.

The mother cat didn't leave either, staring longingly at Cen hope.

Are there any pet hospitals nearby?

Xu You asked the passersby, who were quite kind, "There's a shop a few hundred meters ahead, it should still be open."

"OK, thanks."

Xu You helped Cen hope up, saying, "You need to go to the hospital right away for your injuries."

The abrasions on my legs are easy to treat, but I need to get a shot on my arm where the cat scratched me.

"I'll go to the hospital alone. Will you take the cat to the vet first?"

Cen hope asked for her opinion.

The wound on the mother cat's leg looks quite serious.

Xu You asked worriedly, "Can you handle this by yourself?"

"certainly."

Cen hope laughed, "Have you forgotten that we work at the hospital every day?"

"That's true."

Xu You breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll come find you after I've finished here."

As for the meal, we'll have to put that aside for now.

Cen hope was quite familiar with Jiangcheng and knew where the nearest hospital was. Since her leg injury made walking difficult, she simply took a taxi.

The mother cat's claws were sharp, and the wound on her arm looked deep; it was already starting to turn red and swollen.

Cen hope didn't dare touch the wound, feeling a little scared at the thought of getting an injection later.

Although she is a doctor, she herself is afraid of injections.

Especially these vaccine injections, they can be very painful.

Buzz—her phone rang in her pocket. She assumed it was Xu You calling and answered without checking the contact name.

Have you found a pet hospital?

The wounds on her arms and legs throbbed faintly as she gasped for breath as she asked.

There was no reply from the other end, and Cen hope realized something was wrong.

Not Xu You?

She moved her phone away; the contact name on it was simply the word "Business".

It was Shang Hanzhou calling.
