Qiao Qiao had no choice but to release her divine sense, and sure enough, she saw a large tortoise lying on the roof of their car, its neck stretched out and its four claws tightly gripping the roof!

"What's wrong, my darling?" Qiao Changdong, sitting in the passenger seat, asked in confusion when he saw Qiao Qiao's expression.

Qiao Qiao pointed to the top of their heads and said, "The turtle is on the roof of the car."

"What?" asked Wang Jun, who was driving.

I almost thought I was hallucinating.

Otherwise, how could he have heard such terrible things?

What do you mean by a turtle on the car roof?!

Fortunately, he has an extremely good mental fortitude, otherwise he wouldn't be in this situation, and the car wouldn't have tilted at all.

It was only then that the people in the car noticed that the expressions of the people on both sides of the road were all very strange.

A minute later, Wang Jun found a place to park his car on the side of the road.

Then, after everyone got off the bus, they saw a large turtle lying on the roof.

"..." everyone.

Everyone's expressions were strange and shocked.

How did this turtle manage to climb up there?

When did you climb up there?

They clearly saw it crawling into the yard when they left!

"Auntie, what should we do now?" Wang Jun asked Yan Liti.

Yan Liti looked at Qiao Changdong.

Qiao Changdong glanced at Qiao Qiao, who was staring at the tortoise in his arms, remained silent for three seconds, and said helplessly, "Fine, let it come along."

From yesterday until now, apart from being particularly clingy, this turtle has shown no intention of harming anyone.

Qiao Changdong's alarm was lifted, so he left the turtle to its own devices.

Meanwhile, in the car at the front, Shen Qingyan, who was driving Wang Xinghua, glanced at him in the rearview mirror and asked, "Brother Wang, do you know what project Second Brother is working on lately?"

Wang Xinghua also looked at Shen Qingyan, his expression somewhat worried: "Has something happened?"

Shen Qingyan pursed her lips, showing no intention of answering.

Helpless, Wang Xinghua could only reply, "I don't know the specifics, but it seems to be related to the development of new drugs. He should be looking for partners recently."

"Partner?" Shen Qingyan frowned.

"Yeah, he seems to be in contact with people a lot lately, and he's been busy with that these past two days." Wang Xinghua noticed that his expression was off, and he remembered how serious his expression was when they were eating breakfast earlier.

She asked worriedly, "What exactly happened? Tell me first, I..."

"It's alright for now, big brother. What's second brother's pager number? I'll go to his office and wait for him."

Wang Xinghua had no choice but to write down Wang Zhenhua's pager number.

Finally, he added, "If anything happens, be sure to let me know."

"good."

After Shen Qingyan dropped Wang Xinghua off at Tianjin University, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he waited for a while until about ten minutes later, the car carrying Qiao Qiao arrived.

As the car drove into the gate of Tianjin University, the tortoise on the roof once again attracted the attention of many people on the road.

A look of surprise flashed across Shen Qingyan's eyes.

"We didn't bring it; it went up there on its own." Qiao Changdong explained as soon as he got out of the car carrying Qiao Qiao and saw Shen Qingyan's surprised expression.

His tone was tinged with amusement: "I have no idea how it got up there, but now I'm more interested in seeing how it gets down..."

Before Qiao Changdong could finish speaking, he saw the tortoise. After they got out of the car, it slid down the windshield little by little, leaving two scratches on the glass with its claws before coming to a steady stop on the hood.

When Qiao Changdong saw the two scratches on the windshield, his first thought was, "Thank goodness this car isn't his!"

Otherwise, he would be heartbroken to see those two cuts.

The car belongs to Shen Qingyan; it came from Kyoto.

Seeing the two scratches, Shen Qingyan didn't pay any attention to them. He just glanced thoughtfully at the tortoise, which had now landed safely amidst everyone's astonished gazes.

After landing, the tortoise seemed to be stretching its body. First, it shook its shell, then it swayed its short, thick, and fleshy tail. When it got to Qiao Changdong, it looked at Qiao Qiao in his arms with bright eyes.

It stretched its neck and occasionally turned its head to tap the tortoise shell behind it.

He warmly invited Qiao Qiao to sit on his tortoise shell.

Qiao Changdong didn't agree; instead, he picked up Qiao Qiao and prepared to leave.

The turtle, who had just been beaming with joy, suddenly became unhappy. It blocked Qiao Changdong's path as he was holding Qiao Qiao, and even stomped its foot at Qiao Changdong.

A turtle stomped its foot!

A turtle actually stomped its foot!

Ten minutes later.

On the campus of Tianjin University, students from various majors who were rushing to their early morning classes witnessed the following astonishing scene.

There were six adults and two children, eight men and women walking on the tree-lined path of Tianjin University. Not only were they all dressed in expensive clothes, but their appearances were also exceptionally outstanding.

Especially the two younger ones, one about eight or nine years old and the other about three or four years old, were both incredibly beautiful and delicate.

The seven large and one small animals were walking normally.

Only the three- or four-year-old girl was sitting on a huge tortoise and being carried along!

Yes, you read that right.

These days, some people actually ride turtles.

Seeing this impressive scene, the students hurrying to their morning classes kept glancing back at the spectacle as they walked.

Of course, this is how outsiders see it.

In the eyes of Shen Qingyan and others, it was actually far more than that.

What they saw was their well-behaved little baby sitting peacefully on the turtle's shell, with two very thin branches extending from the tender bud hair clip on its head, like a dog leash, tethered to the turtle's long neck.

The tortoise was not unhappy at all; on the contrary, it looked proud, raised its neck high, and walked with an air of arrogance.

On its head, there is a mini version of Qiao Qiao, imitating the posture of the large Qiao Qiao on the turtle shell behind it, sitting cross-legged with its arms crossed over its chest. Its expression is exactly the same as the turtle's, with its head held high and chest puffed out, looking very arrogant.

Yan Liti had a camera hanging around her neck. Upon seeing this scene, her eyes lit up and she ran a few steps to the front, snapping photos of the person, the turtle, the tree, and the little person nonstop.

It's a pity that the camera could only capture the image of one person and one turtle; it couldn't capture the image of one tree and one little person.

Tianjin University is quite large. Yan Xiaoqing's two classes were both in the morning, so Qiao Qiao and the others didn't disturb her during her classes. Instead, they strolled around leisurely on their own.

Shen Qingyan accompanied her for a while, until his pager received a message, at which point he hugged Qiao Qiao and left.

Shen Qingyan left at around 10:30 in the morning.

They had explored the campus enough, so they estimated the time and headed to the School of Bioengineering that Yan Xiaoqing had mentioned.
