It was getting dark.
Zhang Zian looked at the time. It was past five in the afternoon.
It was almost rush hour. There were more and more pedestrians on the street. However, people were rushing to get off work. They wanted to go back to their warm homes as soon as possible. Very few people would stop halfway to the pet shop. The wind during the day was still cool, but the autumn wind in the evening was getting colder. The wind blew a few fallen leaves on the ground, giving people a sense of desolation.
It was not too dark yet. There were no customers in the shop. Zhang Zian did not turn on the lights in the room. He only turned on the lights in front of the shop to illuminate the sign "Amazing Fate Pet Shop." It would be good to leave a slight impression on passersby.
It was a little boring at this time. There were no customers, and the two cheap labor officers had not arrived yet.
Fina was taking a nap on the cat tree at the highest point. Its tail was hanging down, swaying from time to time. It looked like the hands of an old clock, or a pocket watch in the hands of a hypnotist. Zhang Zian looked at it and gradually became sleepy.
Old Time Tea was watching the TV with great interest. The fluorescent light on the screen shone brightly. It was just like when Zhang Zian played video games when he was a child. Old Time Tea moved its body from time to time as it watched the TV.
Zhang Zian was really confused. His head suddenly dropped down and he woke up.
I will catch a cold if I sleep like this.
He wiped his face and looked into the room.
Xinghai was also yawning. The kittens were not as energetic as it was. After playing hide-and-seek for a while, they could not catch up with it.
"Xinghai, do you want to play hide-and-seek?" Zhang Zian asked.
"Hide-And-Seek! I want to play! Xinghai wants to play hide-and-seek! "Xinghai was immediately excited.
"Okay! Let me do some warm-up exercises! " He stood up from the recliner, stretched his body, and moved his limbs … Although he knew that it was futile and would not help him win against Xinghai. At most, it would prevent him from spraining his ankle when he went up and down the stairs.
Zhang Zian found a random wall and said, "I am going to count. Go and hide. Don't let me win too easily."
It was not illegal to brag!
Xinghai said behind him, "Zian can't beat Xinghai!"
Xinghai was such a pure child. The problem was that it was too honest, which made Zhang Zian very sad.
"As a punishment for your big talk, I'll count faster today! One, two, three … "He quickly recited the numbers, with only half a second between each number.
"Zian, you're shameless! Zian is so shameless! "Xinghai's voice gradually faded away.
"4, 5, 6 … Being shameless is the privilege of an adult! It was as if acting coquettishly was the privilege of children! Seven, eight, nine … "Zhang Zian said, fully displaying his shamelessness.
After counting to 100, he turned around. Xinghai had already hidden.
Fina was not interested in the childish game between him and Xinghai. She was still napping.
Old Time Tea, on the other hand, looked at the direction of the second floor thoughtfully.
"What's wrong, Grandpa Tea?" Zhang Zian was not in a hurry to find Xinghai.
Old Time Tea laughed. "That kid is called Xinghai, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Zian was too embarrassed to say that he was the one who came up with the name.
Old Time Tea raised a front paw and stroked its whiskers. It squinted its eyes and said, "That child is not simple."
"Oh?" Of course, he knew that Xinghai was not simple, but he did not understand how Old Time Tea knew.
Old Time Tea turned around again and stared at the direction of the stairs on the second floor. "Although I am dying, my eyes are still sharp. After you turned around and counted, the child's body flashed like a ghost. Even my eyes, which have seen countless people, couldn't keep up with its movements and speed … It's the first time I've seen something like this in my life! "
"Haha, don't think too much. As long as you take good care of your body, you can live for another few decades." Zhang Zian comforted it.
"Thank you for your kind words." Old Time Tea smiled freely.
"As for Xinghai …" Zhang Zian also looked at the stairs on the second floor. "It is indeed a very special child. It is not that your eyes are dim. Even with the most advanced modern technology, I am afraid that it cannot be seen. "
"No wonder." Old Time Tea nodded in realization. "That speed can be said to be extraordinary and close to perfection. In a glimpse, it only left three afterimages in my eyes. They were behind you, in front of the stairs, and on the stairs. "
Zhang Zian took a deep breath!
He was not shocked by Xinghai's speed. He had experienced Xinghai's power countless times. What surprised him was that Old Time Tea was able to capture the three afterimages left by Xinghai when it entered and exited the quantum state. This dynamic visual acuity was amazing!
It was not that Old Time Tea saw Xinghai, but that Old Time Tea's observation made Xinghai temporarily leave the quantum state.
However, this principle was too complicated to explain. Zhang Zian did not dare to say that he completely understood it, so he could not explain it to Old Time Tea in simple terms. It was very likely that it would only make things worse. Not to mention that Old Time Tea was a cat from ancient times, even an ordinary person in real life would have a hard time understanding it.
There is a saying that basically anyone who dares to say that they understand quantum physics is basically bragging — excerpt from "Quotes from the Hottie Store Manager."
"Grandpa Tea, with your eyes, I bet you are not old at all!" he complimented sincerely.
Without blushing, he said that he had secretly peeked when he was counting. He had to win again, or else he would lose face in front of Xinghai! Although he peeked, he did not see how Xinghai moved. However, Old Time Tea could see some clues … Maybe this showed that Old Time Tea's consciousness was stronger than Zhang Zian's, and it was a better observer than Zhang Zian.
He was not willing to admit that he was not as good as a cat.
Zhang Zian was terrified. He realized that he was at the bottom of the food chain in this shop! Xinghai, Fina, Old Time Tea … He was only a little bit better than those kittens and puppies!
Wait! He suddenly realized that his status was at least higher than Wang Qian and Li Kun, the two human sh * t-scooping machines!
As soon as he thought of this, he felt better.
The elfins were powerful because they were blessed by the Strength of Faith. If I was blessed by the Strength of Faith, I might be better than them! Zhang Zian thought confidently.
However, who would believe in him?
To his dismay, he discovered that only those two fools were dead set on believing in him!
Forget it, I can't think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the sadder I feel!
He shouted upstairs, "Xinghai! I'm going to catch you! "Then, he ran upstairs.
As for the result, after he searched the second floor, he still returned in disappointment.
When he returned downstairs, Xinghai was sitting in the middle of the shop.
"I lost!" he said dejectedly, "But I am not satisfied! Do you dare to play another game? "
He thought that Xinghai would definitely agree immediately, but it tilted its head and stared at the street in the twilight, its eyes shining with silver light.
