Zhang Zian waited in line for a while, looking at the time on his phone from time to time. He had originally expected to wait in line for about half an hour, but the couple in front of him left in the middle of the line. Perhaps they were busy, or perhaps they thought it was too cold, so he only waited in line for about 20 minutes before entering the store.
After the customers left, Aunt Li was clearing the plates to make room for the next customer. She was surprised to see Zhang Zian. "Master Zhang, didn't you say that you don't need to deliver food today?"
Zhang Zian had told them in advance that he didn't need to deliver food today. He only needed to deliver barbecued meat for the cats and dogs. Aunt Li and her husband thought that Zhang Zian had something to do and didn't expect him to come to the store in person.
"Hehe, we are eating here today. Give me a seafood pineapple fried rice and a glass of orange juice. I don't need any cat toys." He pulled out a chair and sat down, ready to stay there until Old Time Tea and the others came back.
"Okay, it'll be ready soon." Aunt Li hurried back to the kitchen and told her husband to pay more attention to the fried rice.
Zhang Zian casually looked around the shop. All the tables were occupied, mainly by young female customers. The girls were holding all kinds of cat toys, trying their best to attract the attention of the cats. Even their husbands or boyfriends were forced to play with the cats, helplessly holding cat teasers or laser pointers to play with them.
The seven cats had all been fed by the customers' dried fish. Some of them put their paws into the ping-pong cat scratching board to grab balls, some tried to grab the restless cat teaser stick in front of them, and some were lying on their backs with catnip toys in their arms, completely ignoring the fact that their bodies had been seen by the customers …
He looked at the cats and was slightly distracted. Old Time Tea and Famous should have already sneaked into the Love Lovely Pets Breeding Base, right? What are they doing? The breeding base is so big. Can they find evidence of Love Lovely Pets' crimes?
Since Famous had to wear a collar and a camera, he couldn't use the invisibility command to make them invisible, which made the trip even more dangerous.
In fact, he knew that with Old Time Tea's experience and Famous's bravery, he really didn't need to worry. If it was a problem that they couldn't solve, then there was no point in worrying. Even so, he couldn't let it go.
He didn't need to see it to know that there must be some illegal things in the Love Lovely Pets Breeding Base. With Old Time Tea and Famous's personalities, once they saw it, they definitely wouldn't let it go. That was the main reason why he was worried.
"Excuse me, are you alone?"
A young female voice interrupted his train of thought.
Startled, he raised his head and saw a young girl standing at the table. She was wearing a down jacket, a woolen hat, and woolen gloves. Her face was unfamiliar, and he had never seen her before.
"Yes," he answered casually.
"Then can we share a table? It's too cold waiting outside. "The girl pointed at the empty seat across from him.
"Oh, please," Zhang Zian answered without hesitation.
The dining tables in the restaurant were divided into four-seaters and two-seaters. Four-seaters were the main ones. Usually, roommates or friends would sit at the four-seater table. A couple had left earlier, and Zhang Zian had occupied a seat for two. The seat across from him was empty.
Most of the four-seater tables were filled, and there were a few tables that had one or two empty seats. However, for a stranger, the people at the same table knew each other. Psychologically speaking, it was difficult for him to be thick-skinned enough to share a table. However, it was different for a two-seater table. Since they were strangers who met by chance, it made no difference who sat down first.
With Zhang Zian's permission, the girl rubbed her hands and sat down on the opposite side.
Aunt Li came over with the menu. "Miss, what would you like to eat?"
The girl opened the menu casually, ordered a set meal, and handed the menu back to Aunt Li.
"Okay, just a moment. It'll be ready soon." Aunt Li took the menu back to the kitchen.
Not long after, the pineapple seafood fried rice and orange juice that Zhang Zian had ordered were served.
The pineapple seafood fried rice was golden in color, with a strong fruity aroma. Green onions, white and tender shrimp, and small pieces of golden pineapple were embellished in the middle. It looked delicious.
He picked up the enamel spoon and scooped a spoonful into his mouth. The sweet and sour pineapple stimulated his taste buds and stimulated his appetite. His sleeping stomach quickly wriggled, as if it couldn't wait to taste the delicacy.
After eating a few mouthfuls of fried rice and drinking a sip of orange juice, Zhang Zian ate happily. Before he knew it, half of the big plate of fried rice was gone.
Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong. His scalp was very itchy, so he raised his head and saw that the girl across from him was staring at him strangely while eating.
Zhang Zian subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth, thinking that he was too engrossed in eating and some rice got on his face. He quickly looked down to see if it was the orange juice on his clothes … but everything was normal. He didn't embarrass himself like he thought he would.
If he was normal, then the girl across from him was not normal.
Could it be that … the way I eat is too handsome, and she's crazy about me?
Thinking of this, Zhang Zian felt very happy. His handsomeness had probably increased again.
"Why don't you have a cat toy?" the girl across from him suddenly said.
"What?"
Zhang Zian's dream was shattered, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
She pouted at the other tables and said, "The pineapple seafood fried rice you ordered should come with a catnip toy. Why didn't you get one? Did Lady Boss forget? "
There was a girl at the table next to him who also ordered pineapple seafood fried rice. She didn't eat much, and was playing with the cat with the catnip toy.
The girl opposite him probably had good intentions. She said, "They're very busy at the store. Sometimes they forget to deliver the catnip plushie. Why don't you tell the owner's wife and ask her to bring you the catnip plushie?"
Zhang Zian finally understood why she was staring at him. He couldn't help but feel sad, but he still answered, "Thank you, but it's okay. I told the owner not to give me a cat toy."
The girl across from him was surprised and asked, "Why?"
"Well …"
Before Zhang Zian could think of how to answer, the girl seemed to have realized something and answered her own question.
"Don't you like cats? If you don't like cats, why are you eating at a snack bar for cat fanciers? There are still many people waiting in line! "
Zhang Zian was speechless.
The girl seemed to be saying that people who came to eat at the snack bar were equal to cat lovers. Therefore, people who came to the snack bar to eat but didn't play with cats were heresy, and they should make room for real cat lovers.
How should he put it? He had originally come up with this idea to add something special to the snack bar, but he couldn't put the cart before the horse. After all, it wasn't a cat cafe. Cat cafes were places for rich and idle young people to relax, not necessities. However, the main purpose of a snack bar was to fill people's stomachs. There was no rule that said that people who didn't like cats couldn't eat at the snack bar.
They had only met by chance, and Zhang Zian was worried about Old Time Tea and Famous, so he wasn't interested in reasoning with her. He smiled perfunctorily and said, "It's not that I don't like cats …"
"You don't look like you like cats. If you like cats, why don't you play with them?" The girl didn't let it go.
Zhang Zian thought to himself, How can you tell if I like cats from my appearance? I'm so sorry that I don't like cats!
"Well … I play with cats a lot …" He still said perfunctorily and continued to eat.
"You play with cats a lot?" She looked at him suspiciously. "So you have a cat?"
"Well …"
Zhang Zian pondered for a moment. Did I have a cat?
Aunt Li came up with the food she ordered and heard her question. She happily answered for Zhang Zian, "He is the owner of the pet shop across the street. Of course he has a cat! And he has a lot of them! "
The girl frowned and looked back at the pet shop through the glass.
"A pet shop …" She suddenly became murderous, as if he had killed her father. She said firmly, "Adopt instead of buy!"
Zhang Zian put down his spoon. He couldn't eat anymore!
