After entering the shop, Ting Ying looked around casually. The first thing that caught her attention was the Holy Cat statue. It was hard not to notice it. It was squatting next to the second automatic door, staring at the customers coming in and out of the shop like a door god.
She walked closer and squatted down, reading the card in front of the Holy Cat statue. The card wrote the history of the Holy Cat statue. For some reason, the posture of the Holy Cat statue reminded her of the golden cat she had seen at the entrance of the church. Ever since that glimpse, it had left a deep impression on her.
"Can I take pictures of the Holy Cat statue?" she asked.
No one responded.
She asked a second time, and Lu Yi Yun replied without raising her head, "Whatever."
Ting Ying took a selfie with the Holy Cat statue on her phone and posted it on her WeChat Moments.
She saw that Luo Qingyu was still talking to someone, so she walked a few steps outside. She thought that Lu Yi Yun, who was sitting behind the cashier, was playing games with her head down, until she saw the fast-moving pen. She curiously looked over.
"Wow! You draw so well! "Ting Ying exclaimed.
Lu Yi Yun felt her nostrils itch and wanted to sneeze. She rubbed her nose and found a long black hair floating under her nose. Hearing Ting Ying's compliment, she blushed slightly. Although many customers had praised her drawing recently, she was still not used to it.
"Huh? Do you have a comic series on Weibo? It's called Xinyun, right? "Ting Ying's eyes fell on the bottom right corner of the screen and recognized Lu Yi Yun's signature.
Lu Yi Yun was stunned. "You know about it?"
"Of course, I read every issue!" Ting Ying said excitedly. "Oh, why didn't you serialize it later? Did you move it to another website? "
"No, I didn't draw it later because no one read it." Lu Yi Yun shook her head sadly.
"But I'm reading it! I like your style very much, and I'm still upset that I didn't see the ending! "Ting Ying said, pointing at herself.
Lu Yi Yun was a little happy that she could meet her reader here. But she was not good with words, so she said after a while, "I'm sorry …"
"It's okay. Are you going to serialize other comics?" Ting Ying asked seriously, leaning her arm on the cashier.
Lu Yi Yun hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "There might be a new manga that will be serialized soon …"
She had previously drawn the story of Zhang Zian, Cathy, and the Abyssinian cat into a short story. She felt that it was very good, so she intended to expand it into a long story.
"Wow! That's great! By the way, I occasionally participate in cosplay. When your comic becomes popular, I'll cosplay one of the characters. How about that? "Ting Ying asked expectantly.
"Sure … sure." Lu Yi Yun nodded.
"That's settled then!" Ting Ying patted the table and straightened her back. "I won't disturb your painting anymore."
Although it was just a few words of greeting, it was like a shot in the arm for Lu Yi Yun. Someone is reading my manga, and he likes it very much. The feeling of being acknowledged felt so good!
At this moment, Luo Qingyu called Ting Ying over and introduced her, "Do you remember this person? I met her when I was cosplaying in front of the church. "
Ting Ying looked at Zhang Zian and shook her head. "I don't remember."
Luo Qingyu said perfunctorily, "It's okay. Anyway, he's just a passerby. It's normal that you can't remember him."
"You're the passerby!" Zhang Zian couldn't stand this. How could such a handsome face be a passerby? He pushed Luo Qingyu aside and introduced himself. "I'm the store manager here. My last name is Zhang. Are you looking for a cat?"
Luo Qingyu came over and said to Ting Ying, "Just tell me what kind of cat you want. Don't be shy. He promised me a discount. Although the cats here are a little more expensive, there's no problem with their pedigree, and they can dance! "
"They can dance?" Ting Ying was stunned. She thought she had heard wrong.
"Really. If you don't believe me, why don't you let the kittens dance for her?" Luo Qingyu urged while quietly taking out a camera from his photography bag.
The last time the pet shop opened, Luo Qingyu was so shocked by the group of dancing kittens that he forgot to take photos, especially when the four Abyssinian cats were dancing ballet. Because the lights were turned off in the shop, and Wang Qian and Li Kun forbade him to use the flash, plus his poor photography skills, the photos were all blurry and blurred, just like ghosts. Since he was here with Ting Ying, he wanted to take a few photos and bring them back.
However, Zhang Zian had already seen through his thoughts. He ignored him and asked Ting Ying, "What kind of cat do you want to raise? What special requirements do you have? Tell me, and I can give you some advice."
"Um … Do the kittens here really know how to dance?" Ting Ying was still struggling with this question.
Zhang Zian nodded slightly. "Yes, every kitten here can dance, but dancing is just the icing on the cake. Don't buy one just because they can dance. Otherwise, when the novelty wears off, you will feel tired and bored. It is no different from the rash behavior of the ancient people, who bought the casket and returned the pearls. You should first think about why you want to buy a cat, and then tell me your requirements. "
Ting Ying was surprised. Obviously, dancing was the biggest selling point of the kittens here. If it was someone else, they would definitely seize this advantage and praise it. However, the store manager did not make full use of this selling point, but advised her not to buy the casket and return the pearls. She thought about it and felt that this metaphor was very appropriate. The kittens themselves were pearls, and dancing was just to decorate and enhance the value of the kittens. If she bought the pearls for dancing, it was obviously putting the cart before the horse.
Because of this, she had a good first impression of the store manager, and she trusted him a little more.
Luo Qingyu did not understand the deeper meaning of Zhang Zian's words. He only wanted to take photos, so he was very disappointed. He kept nagging, but Zhang Zian ignored him.
"Well … I haven't decided yet. Can I look around first?" Ting Ying glanced at the kittens playing indoors.
"Sure," Zhang Zian agreed. It was good to look around. What if she liked them?
Ting Ying walked a few steps, and suddenly felt two strange eyes fall on her. She had been looking at the kittens on the ground, but now she looked up and saw Fina on the cat tree.
Wow! Isn't this the golden cat I met at the entrance of the church?!
Ting Ying walked over excitedly and waved to Fina. "Hi! Hello, kitty! "
Fina looked at her because she looked familiar, but it hated being called a kitty. It immediately closed its eyes and dozed off.
Ting Ying knew Fina's arrogance very well. Instead of feeling neglected, she liked it even more. It would be great if it was her own cat. Unfortunately, the store owner would definitely not sell it. She knew that without asking.
She stopped and looked at Fina for a while. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She had to resist turning her head, or else she would want to touch it.
There were a lot of kittens in the store. They were chasing each other, playing, and happily passing by her feet. There were also a few kittens that seemed to be very close to each other. They were hugging each other and licking each other's hair, looking very loving.
She heard something above her head. As soon as she looked up, she saw several pairs of eyes.
There were a few cats squatting side by side on the dark brown wooden shelves. They had strong shapes, small and delicate cheeks, and their chocolate-colored hair exuded a mysterious and deep luster under the light. Their eyes, in particular, were shining like amber, as if they had been tempered for a long time.
She didn't know that they were Abyssinian cats, but this scene reminded her of something that had touched her heart.
Ting Ying turned around, looked at Zhang Zian, and asked softly, "Store Manager, how did you teach them to dance?"
"Because I am a cat trainer," Zhang Zian answered naturally.
A cat trainer?
Ting Ying's heart suddenly tightened. She immediately asked, "Can you also understand cat language?"
What?
The word "also" surprised Zhang Zian.
