Song Bai was still a little hesitant, but he decided to trust Black Flower this time.
He opened the door wide, "Come in."
Black Flower curiously walked into the room with the curtains drawn. It was a little dark in the room, but it wasn't affected much.
Song Bai sat on the chair in front of the desk, put on his headphones and said, "I'm going to start working. Be good."
As soon as he came back, he imported the video from the SD card of the camera into his computer. Seeing that the transfer was completed, he started Final Cut Pro to edit the video he recorded today.
Some vloggers tended to show their daily life to the audience with little or no editing, but Song Bai preferred to make the video look compact, so every vlog had been carefully edited. He was already familiar with this work, and soon he focused on the video on the screen and the timeline.
Black Flower wandered around the room. The smell here was completely different from that in the pet shop, and there was no familiar and reassuring smell. It raised its head and looked at its new owner, who was sitting in front of the computer screen, his upper body slightly leaning forward, his mouth half open, his eyeballs moving quickly from side to side, and he swallowed from time to time.
"Meow ~" It whispered.
Song Bai didn't seem to hear it.
"Meow ~" Again.
This time, Song Bai heard it and looked down at it.
"Black Flower can play by itself, I have something to do here," he said perfunctorily, and then focused on the flashing video on the screen. Because the curtains were drawn, the fluorescence of the monitor reflected on his face, which was constantly changing.
Black Flower felt a little lonely when its owner didn't play with it.
When it was in the pet shop, it never had to worry about playmates. There was always a large group of friends playing with it. Everyone jumped on me, I jumped on you, I jumped on you, hugged each other, rolled into a ball, and licked each other's fur. The relationship between them was very harmonious. When Black Flower was tired or thirsty, it would run to the corner to drink water, where there was a basin for them. If it wanted to pee or poop, it would go to the other side, where there was cat litter, and two young men were responsible for cleaning the litter. Life was eating, sleeping, playing, and eating when it was hungry — it was very free and happy!
Every time this happened, Black Flower would feel sorry for those puppies, who were always locked in the display cabinet, watching the kittens playing outside with their tongues out. They didn't even have the freedom to pee or poop. Black Flower couldn't help them, and it didn't want those puppies to come out and fight for its territory.
Sometimes, the very special black and white kitten would also join their game. It would either let them chase it, or it would chase them. It would always win, but it was still very interesting, and everyone liked it very much.
Rarely, the noble and majestic cat queen would appear in front of them and teach them some actions that they must remember. Black Flower and the queen would kneel on the ground with the other kittens, respectfully listening to the Flower. It did not know the Queen, but there seemed to be an irresistible voice inside its body, telling it that this was its Queen and ordering it to obey the Queen's orders no matter what.
As for the owner of the shop … That man's presence seemed to be quite insignificant. It felt like he was just a servant of the queen.
The new owner said something into the microphone. It wasn't Chinese. It was a language that the parrot in the pet shop had spoken before, but Black Flower couldn't understand it at all. The new owner seemed to be very busy and didn't have time to play with it, so it decided to entertain itself.
Black Flower tilted its head and saw a strange thing in the corner of the bookshelf. It had never seen it in a pet shop.
It ran over, stretched out its claws, and pulled a few times. It actually managed to pull it out.
It was a curved board with a few wheels under it. The wheels were very sensitive, and it slid forward with a gentle push.
Black Flower had an idea. It ran a few steps to catch up with it, and carefully stood on the board. At first, it couldn't control its balance, and its body was swaying. It was scared, so it jumped off the board.
The board changed its direction slightly, hit the skirting line of the wall, bounced back, and stopped.
Black Flower stood a few steps away and quietly observed for a while. It felt that there was no danger, so it approached the board with small steps and stretched out its paw to pull it again.
The board slid backward along with its momentum, passing by its side, and it jumped up again. After it jumped on it, the board slowed down. It stood steadily and learned to use its tail to keep balance. However, the width of the room was limited, and the board soon carried it to the wall on the other side.
Before it hit the wall, it jumped off the board.
Affected by the counterforce, the board changed its direction and rolled toward its owner's feet …
Black Flower wanted to stop the board, but it was too late, and it was worried that its owner would be angry, because its owner didn't seem to want to be disturbed.
In the past, Song Bai's English level was very average, especially his oral English. However, after playing vlog for so many years, if there was anything he had gained … In addition to a lot of digital equipment and his increasingly skilled video editing skills, the biggest improvement he had made was his oral English. Although he was still occasionally criticized by foreign audiences, at least his English was much better than before.
He had just added an English commentary to the video and was about to add subtitles, when he felt something hit his ankle. It was very light, and it didn't hurt at all.
He looked down and found it was his skateboard.
Song Bai was speechless. How could the skateboard run out by itself?
"Meow ~" Black Flower meowed in a low voice.
It looked around nervously, as if trying to find an excuse for its playfulness.
"Eh … is that you?" Song Bai asked, "Are you skateboarding?"
Black Flower meowed again.
Song Bai thought for a while and pushed the skateboard towards Black Flower again, but in a slightly deviated direction, in case it hit it.
Black Flower stared at the skateboard, and when it reached its side, it jumped on it again.
The skateboard carried it and slid all the way to the wall at the end.
"Watch out …" Just as Song Bai shouted, he saw Black Flower jump off the skateboard before hitting the wall.
Song Bai was surprised and delighted. He didn't expect Black Flower to be so smart.
Many vloggers liked to ride their skateboards to every corner of the city and take pictures of all kinds of interesting things. Song Bai was one of them, but he was too old to skateboard, so he hadn't used this skateboard for a long time. Since Black Flower stretched out its paw to touch the camera lens, he felt that he and it were congenial, and now he found that it had a talent for skateboarding, which made Song Bai even more surprised.
He walked up to it, squatted down and touched its little head, "Sorry, Black Flower, I left you out just now. Wait for a while, let's go skateboarding together, okay? "
Black Flower squinted its eyes and meowed softly.
"Come on." Song Bai tried to hold it.
Black Flower didn't run away, nor did it resist. It just let him hold it.
Song Bai carried it back to his seat, put it on his lap, pointed at the picture on the screen and said, "Look, you're among these dancing kittens. Do you see it? "
He was shooting a 4K video of the kittens dancing together. The picture was extremely clear, and even the hairs of the kittens could be counted. Black Flower was near the center of the kittens, dancing to the beat of the music.
Black Flower stared at the picture blankly, as if it didn't recognize itself.
"Let me tell you, I'm not playing for fun, although my parents have been scolding me for being a loafer." Song Bai started to talk while operating the mouse. He had been hiding these words in his heart and had never told others, but in front of this kitten, he temporarily put down all his vigilance.
"These can make money." Song Bai said seriously, "If one day my vlog becomes popular, YouTube will add advertisements to my channel, and how much money I can make depends on the number of views. It's said that as long as the number of subscribers to my channel exceeds 100,000, I can completely support my life. At that time, I'll have more time to play with you. We can keep skateboarding, shuttling through the streets, taking pictures of all kinds of people, all kinds of delicious food, all kinds of new things … I can even find some companions for you. What do you think? "
"Meow ~" Black Flower stretched out its paw and scratched his arm, seeming to be very dissatisfied with the last one.
"Haha, okay, I don't want other kittens, as long as you're with me." Song Bai laughed.
Black Flower raised its head and stared at him, as if asking, "Is it true?"
"Of course it's true." Song Bai stroked its head with his left hand, "I don't get along with other kittens so well."
The video had been edited. He browsed it from beginning to end and found no flaws. He selected the picture of Black Flower stretching out its paw and scratching the camera lens as the cover, ready to upload it.
He took a ladder, climbed over the wall smoothly, and logged into YouTube. He was a VIP annual member of this ladder, but even so, the speed of uploading was still very slow.
But before uploading, he needed to think of a name for this vlog.
"What should I call it? Black Flower, do you have any good suggestions? "He raised Black Flower high and looked it in the eyes.
"Haha, I'm just kidding. In fact, I've already thought of a name."
Song Bai put Black Flower back on his lap and typed a string of English words on the keyboard.
Over the Great Wall。
This name had several meanings.
First of all, he had to climb over the Great Wall to log into YouTube.
Secondly, he wanted to do what the Great Wall Club failed to do. He wanted to surpass the Great Wall Club and bring Dragon-Li cats to the world again!
When everything was ready, Song Bai clicked "upload".
"Come on, Black Flower, let's go downstairs to skateboard! Although I'm short, I'm very good at skateboarding! " Song Bai put down Black Flower, clamped the skateboard under his armpit, put on the safety helmet that he hadn't worn for a long time, and fixed the Gopro sports camera on the helmet.
He already had the content of the next vlog in his mind — skateboarding with a kitten.
When he and Black Flower left the room, the room was quiet again. Only the computer monitor was still on, and the upload progress bar was crawling towards the end little by little.
