Song Bai and Zhao Qi parted ways after leaving the pet shop. Zhao Qi went to the dry cleaner to pick up her clothes, while Song Bai called a taxi to go back home.
"Please drive a little faster," he said to the driver after getting in the car. He wanted to go home and start editing his vlog as soon as possible. He was like a kid who had just got a new set of building blocks and couldn't wait to build them.
The driver noticed the cat carrier in his arms through the rearview mirror and laughed, "What did you buy? A cat or a dog? "
"A cat." Song Bai was stunned, "How did you know?"
"I saw you coming out of the pet shop. It's quite famous in the neighborhood." The driver said, "I mainly drive around this area, and I've picked up a lot of customers who come to buy pets. But there are not many customers these days. Is it because the business is slow?"
"Because this shop has just been renovated, and it may reopen soon." Song Bai repeated the information he heard from Zhao Qi.
"Oh, no wonder." The driver seemed to be ready to end this topic.
Song Bai thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Well... have you ever picked up foreigners to buy pets here?"
"Foreigners?" The driver was stunned and recalled, "No, I have picked up a few foreigners. Why?"
"Oh, so you can speak English?" Song Bai asked again.
"English... Haha, I've forgotten all the English I learned in high school." The driver smiled embarrassedly, "Those foreigners I picked up are not pure foreigners."
Song Bai was confused, "What do you mean by 'pure foreigners'? Do you mean... Well, mixed race? Or Chinese? "
"No, I don't mean that. I mean, those foreigners are international students from Binhai University, and they can speak some Chinese. When I said hello to them, they asked me to speak Chinese and help them practice Chinese." The driver couldn't help laughing and clarified the misunderstanding.
"Oh, I see... Have you ever picked up foreigners to this Amazing Fate Pet Shop?" Song Bai asked, and then added, "Whether they are pure or not..."
"No, I haven't been to the pet shop. What's wrong?" The driver laughed.
"Nothing, I just feel that there may be foreigners — pure foreigners — coming to this pet shop in the future." Song Bai had a hunch that sooner or later, the fame of the Amazing Fate Pet Shop would spread abroad. Even if not through him, it would be through others, and by that time, there would definitely be foreigners coming to visit.
"Really?" However, the driver clearly did not believe it. He only treated it as a joke and laughed, "Then I'll have to start learning English for more business!"
Song Bai nodded, "I suggest you start learning now."
"… Are you serious?" the driver asked in surprise.
Song Bai smiled noncommittally, "Even if I'm not, you won't suffer any loss. Anyway, it's always good to have more skills."
"That's true …" The driver seemed to be convinced as he muttered to himself thoughtfully.
Song Bai's house was not far away, and soon the taxi stopped at the gate of the community. After paying the fare, he took the cat bag and got out of the car. "Thank you, sir. Practice your English when you have time."
The driver waved his hand and drove away. It was unknown whether he had taken the advice or not.
Song Bai's rented apartment was very small, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom, and one balcony, but it was enough for a single man like him.
He opened the cat bag, took out the Black Dragon-Li and put it on the ground.
The Black Dragon-Li looked around curiously at the strange new environment without showing any timidity. It looked back at Song Bai, as if it knew that he was the owner of the house.
Song Bai smiled and waved his hand, "Go ahead and play in the living room, but you can't go to the bedroom."
"Oh, I need to give you a name." He touched his chin and thought for a moment, "Black Dragon-Li … How about Black Dragon-Li?"
The Black Dragon-Li meowed and seemed to be satisfied with the name. It trotted to the living room and the balcony to explore.
Song Bai first put the equipment in the backpack into the bedroom, changed into loose home clothes, washed his face, and threw the clothes into the washing machine. He suddenly felt relaxed.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
"Express, is anyone home?"
"Coming, coming."
Song Bai put down what he was doing and quickly went to open the door.
The courier, who was holding a lot of things, poked his head out and asked, "Is it Song Bai?"
"Yes. I'll pay on arrival, right? "He knew that the cat supplies had arrived.
"Yes, please sign for it."
The courier put down the things, and Song Bai paid and signed for the express delivery.
"Thank you." He politely sent the courier away.
Song Bai took out the cat litter and the cat litter box from the pile of things, and looked at the beginner's cat raising tutorial printed by Zhang Zian. He arranged the cat litter box, then held Black Dragon-Li, who was exploring around, pointed at the cat litter box and said, "Pee and poop here, understand?"
Black Dragon-Li lowered its head and sniffed the cat litter box, then stretched out its paw and dug in the cat litter box. Zhang Zian's pet shop also used this kind of cat litter box, so Black Dragon-Li quickly understood that this was its toilet.
Song Bai gently stroked the fur on its back, and the dark patterns on its back undulated like waves of wheat. Black Dragon-Li looked up at him in confusion, and continued to dig in the cat litter box. This kitten seemed to like to dig in things, whether it was the camera lens or the cat litter box. It was also a character that couldn't stay still, just like him.
"Stay here, and I'll play with you when I'm done," he whispered to Black Dragon-Li.
Song Bai stood up and walked straight into the bedroom. When he was about to close the door, he saw a black shadow shrink back in panic. It was Black Dragon-Li. It also wanted to enter the bedroom to have a look, but it was almost stuck in the door. Song Bai was used to living alone, so he didn't have the self-awareness of having a pet at home, so he was also shocked.
"Well... do you want to come in too?" Song Bai hesitated for a moment and looked back at the bedroom.
There were several cameras on the desk and bookshelves in the bedroom, such as Canon's G7Xm2, Sony's RX100m4, and Panasonic's LX10, which he took out for shooting. In addition, there were two computers, one was a Mac Pro used for video editing and rendering, and the other was a laptop used for studying and entertainment, as well as two sets of corresponding keyboards and mice. Next to the keyboards was a ROBE condenser microphone, and on top of the bookshelf was a JOBY's octopus pans and a NAS for data backup … As for other spare devices, such as spare batteries, USB drives, and SD cards, they were all piled up on the desk, all of which were indispensable for vloggers.
If any other digital geek came to this messy room, they would definitely feel at home.
Many vloggers were like this. No matter whether they could become famous or not, they would buy all the equipment first, and even buy several kinds of the same equipment to deal with different situations. Song Bai was the same.
He lived alone, and no one but himself would enter his bedroom, so he could leave his equipment anywhere he wanted without worry. Every piece of digital equipment in the room was very valuable. He didn't want to let Black Dragon-Li in at first because he was afraid that it would make trouble in the room. Black Dragon-Li's habit of digging in things made him feel a little uneasy, and he would lose a lot of money if it accidentally dropped one of them on the ground.
Black Dragon-Li squatted at the door, looking up at him, and peeking into the room from time to time, as if to say, "What's fun in the room? Why don't you let me in? "
Song Bai blocked the door and didn't let it in. He waved his hand and said, "Play outside for a while."
Black Dragon-Li tilted its head, whispered a few times, and stretched out one of its front paws to touch the door. Its pair of yellow-green eyes were very clear, but at the same time, it was confused. It didn't understand what it had done and why it was rejected outside the door.
Song Bai was the first to admit defeat. Being stared at by this pair of innocent eyes, he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart.
"Well, come in, but be a good boy and don't touch anything, or I won't let you in next time." Song Bai squatted down and warned it seriously.
Black Dragon-Li meowed, and no one knew whether it understood him or not. It came over and pulled his leg with its front paws, eager to go in.
