In the dead of the night, Zhang Zian would occasionally suffer from insomnia. He would lie in bed and stare at the starlight shining through the window. He would turn around and look at Fina on the princess bed. Most of the time, it seemed to be sleeping soundly, but sometimes it would open its green eyes, glare at him impatiently, and then change its position to continue sleeping.
Although it was the dead of the night, it was actually not that late. Normal city families were still awake. If one pricked up his ears and listened carefully, he could also hear the very faint sound of the TV coming from downstairs, which meant that Old Time Tea was still awake. It was probably lying on the electric blanket in a farmer's posture, watching old martial arts movies with great interest.
Xinghai … He could not hear Xinghai's voice, but he could feel its existence. It must be lying in its crib, traveling around the universe in its sleep.
At times like this, he would always think like an ancient Greek philosopher, thinking about the meaning of his existence. For Xinghai, Fina, and Old Time Tea, what was his identity? Or, for them, what was his identity?
For Xinghai, he felt that he was playing the role of a father, brother, and mentor, trying his best to guide this timid and poor elfin out of the shadow of the past.
For Fina, he was probably the so-called housekeeper, and at the same time, they were partners. He worked hard for it to live a comfortable life, and he could also earn his own small amount of money.
As for Old Time Tea, Old Time Tea was an elder, compassionate, wise, and worthy of respect.
However, it was only when he was facing Richard, when he and Richard were having fun with each other, that he was at his most relaxed. He could take off his mask without worry, and he no longer needed to play the role of a father, brother, mentor, manager, junior, and so on. He just needed to be himself as usual.
Therefore, Richard was a bad friend.
In life, there must always be a bad friend who could joke with each other without any scruples. Only then would life become relaxed.
Jokes were not easy to make. Whether it was Xinghai, Old Time Tea, or Fina, they often could not understand his humor and jokes. Only when he was in front of the netizens in the live broadcast room of Richard and Snowy could he enjoy the pleasure of his jokes being understood, and even go further in joking with each other.
However, netizens were not often around. To some extent, Richard was a bosom friend.
Who will listen when the string is broken?
Of course, he could only tell Guo Dongyue, who was confused, "The bird flew out to have some fresh air. It will come back when it is tired."
Guo Dongyue was looking into the shop. He was surprised. "Did you let it out?"
"That's right," Zhang Zian said.
Guo Dongyue was stunned. He stared at Zhang Zian's face and said, "Are you serious? Aren't you afraid that it will be captured by someone else, or that it won't be able to find its way back? "
Zhang Zian said casually, "If I get it, I'm lucky. If I don't, it's my fate." He couldn't say that he had put Richard back into his phone, so he could only use this as a cover.
He thought that Zhang Zian had put Richard on the second floor, but when he listened carefully, he didn't hear any sound coming from the second floor. Unless Zhang Zian had tied Richard's mouth, it was impossible for it to remain silent for such a long time. Guo Dongyue found that he couldn't understand this young store manager anymore. He didn't seem to have much money, and he would get nervous when it came to money. However, he also seemed to be very generous. He even dared to let such a precious grey parrot fly out to have fun …
Zhang Zian took the meat off the skewers and put them in Fina's and Snowy Lionet's food bowls. He watched them eat, and he put Old Time Tea's portion aside. He planned to heat it up in the microwave when he came back.
Guo Dongyue noticed that not only Richard, but the black and white kitten and the old cat with the bamboo hat were also gone. Did those two cats go out to have some fresh air? That was possible. After all, even the parrot was out, so cats were nothing …
Zhang Zian took out a bag of shumai from the foam insulated box and gestured to Guo Dongyue, "Have you had breakfast? If not, you don't have to be so polite. "
Guo Dongyue shook his head. He wasn't being polite. He only came here after breakfast. Besides, he didn't like the food outside.
Patiently waiting for the two cats and Zhang Zian to finish eating, Guo Dongyue looked at his watch and asked, "When are we leaving?"
Zhang Zian hadn't swallowed the shumai in his mouth yet. He mumbled, "Don't worry, we'll leave soon." He wiped his mouth, picked up the padlock, and waved at Fina and Snowy Lionet.
Guo Dongyue followed him out of the store. After he closed the door and locked it, he pointed at Fina and Snowy Lionet, "They're going too?"
Zhang Zian answered affirmatively, "Yes, we'll take them for a walk."
Guo Dongyue didn't think it was possible. Taking cats to a bird breeding base? He had been looking at Richard before, and didn't pay much attention to the cats in the store. Now that he had a closer look, he suddenly felt that the golden cat looked quite domineering. It didn't look like an ordinary house cat, and it reminded him of the servals that he saw in the homes of some rich people. However, if he took a closer look, he would find that the domineering aura of the golden cat came from its arrogance, which was obviously different from those wild servals.
As for the white cat, it looked quite beautiful and docile, and it followed the golden cat closely.
Zhang Zian looked around, "How did you get here? Did you drive here? "
"No, I took a taxi. I don't have a car," Guo Dongyue answered, "I travel a lot, so I don't need a car."
Zhang Zian remembered that he had taken Xiao Yan's car the first time he came here. It seemed that Xiao Yan was a pragmatist, not the kind of person who bought a car for decoration.
It was not easy to take a taxi in the early morning, so Guo Dongyue had to take a ride. It was a new Cruze, and the owner was a young woman. Her nickname on the app was Jamie. Zhang Zian was worried that she wouldn't let Fina and Snowy Lionet get in the car, but she seemed to be a cat lover. She screamed when she saw Fina and Snowy Lionet.
"What a beautiful cat!" She stuck her head out of the window, "Is this your cat?"
"It's my cat." Zhang Zian pointed at the sign of the Amazing Fate Pet Shop, "I run a pet shop. Can they get in the car? "
"No problem, get in. I often take my cat for a ride," she agreed without hesitation.
Guo Dongyue sat in the front passenger seat, and Zhang Zian sat in the back with the two cats.
Jamie started the car, and looked at Fina and Snowy Lionet from the rearview mirror from time to time.
"You are going to Phoenix House, right?" she asked casually, "To buy birds?"
"Phoenix House?" It was the first time Zhang Zian had heard of this name.
"Yes, that's the place you are going to." She was a good driver, and she was cheerful and talkative, "It's quite far from here, and I'm going home, so I want to give you a ride. My hometown is nearby, so I know. "
