Fina and Old Time Tea finished their dinners of BBQ skewers. Fina was drinking its Evian water and Old Time Tea was enjoying a cup of hot tea.
Counting the number of the skewers, Zhang Zian said, "Fina, you have been eating a lot lately. You don't worry about getting fat?"
"Shut up!" Fina was mad, "I… I will never be fat!"
"Agreed! Shut up, you humble human! Our queen didn't eat much. Did you steal the skewers?" Richard would not miss any chance to kiss Fina's ass, "Give me another apple, and I will shut up."
Zhang Zian laid all the skewers on the ground, "Count them! Grandpa Tea only ate three skewers, but you ate five and a half!"
Old Time Tea was witty. "Umm, I am too old to eat much food. Queen Fina is still young. It should eat more than me anyways…"
Looking down at the six skewers on the ground, Fina was quiet and then explained, "That's because you are a crappy cook!"
"Keep eating when there is good food. That is your first step to getting fat. You don't even like exercising and love napping too much. I am going to borrow a scale from the fruit store and weigh you," Zhang Zian continued to complain.
"Cut it out!" Fina tuned down its voice and felt unconfident. Looking down at its own body and feet, it actually might be… putting on a few pounds?
In fact, Fina wasn't putting on weight. Even if it was, it wasn't noticeable at all. Seeing that Fina was falling for his tricks, Zhang Zian immediately said, "I told you that you put on weight. Let's get out and walk around. I am going out and you can come with me. Otherwise you will get even fatter!"
A normal Fina would've seen him through, rejected the invitation and stayed home for a nap. However, today it was surprised by Zhang Zian's sudden comments. Worried about putting on more weight, Fina nodded. "Okay. I want to get out for some fresh air anyways. Now that you've mentioned it, I will go with you."
Old Time Tea forced a smile. It knew that Zhang Zian was playing with fire.
Richard, the temporizer, agreed immediately, "Our queen is getting out. This is a huge deal! I… I will serve you because I am your loyal servant."
Glancing at Richard, Zhang Zian knew what it was thinking about – all it wanted was to escape at some point. It wasn't easy because Richard could not get out on its own due to its low friendliness.
"Galaxy!" He waved at Galaxy, who was busy playing hide-and-seek with the kittens.
Galaxy ran over, "Zian, I am coming!"
"Galaxy, you want to play outside today?" He squatted down and asked.
"Outside?" Galaxy looked out the door, seeing that Aunt Li and her husband were busy at the food cart.
Zhang Zian knew what Galaxy was thinking about. He smiled and said, "We are not going over there but to a much farther place. A place we have never been."
"Meow!" Galaxy looked scared. It curled up like a ball. Apparently, it didn't want to.
"It is a quiet place, a good place for hide and seek," he said.
"So, no other people?" Galaxy reconfirmed.
"Nope," Zhang Zian said. "It is highly likely that no one is around."
"We can play hide-and-seek?" It asked.
Zhang Zian smile mysteriously, "In fact, all we are doing today is playing hide-and-seek."
"Really?" Galaxy was confused.
"Remember when a cop was here a few days ago? He told me that some cats have been trained to steal. Today we are going to get that bad guy, just like playing hide-and-seek," Zhang Zian explained patiently.
"Stealing?" Galaxy tilted its head. "Like the guy who wanted to steal a kitten?"
Zhang Zian guessed Galaxy was referring to the cat thief.
"That's right," Zhang Zian nodded.
"A stealing cat… is a bad boy?" Galaxy raised its face and asked him.
"Yup. They are bad boys now, but they weren't until someone told them to," he said. "So we are going to get the bad guy behind the scenes and turn the bad boys back into good ones."
"Okay, I want to help!" Galaxy was excited.
"No problem. It will be much easier with your help," Zhang Zian encouraged. "Grandpa Tea…"
"Of course, I will go," Old Time Tea said.
"Let's all go! Let's all go!" Richard finished everything on the plate. There wasn't even a single grain of rice on its lips.
"Well, you can't go," Zhang Zian pointed at Richard.
"Why?" Richard was surprised, "So you are not only a damn single, but also a racist?!"
"I am a racist? Go f*ck your sister!" Zhang Zian's swearing was a breakthrough since he met the apprehensive bird.
Richard said seriously, "I don't have a sister. Anyways, you are also a sexist!"
"I am not bullsh*ting with you. You can't go because you can't leave this store. Did you already forgot about what happened last night?" Zhang Zian reminded it.
"Wasn't it your wizardry?!"
"Nope! Don't think you are smart!" Zhang Zian said. "In a word, you can't go this time. I will put you back into my game. Take a nap if you want."
"Oh no! I was ditched! I was ditched by Jeff! What a cold-hearted man! Just kill me! I don't want to live! I…I am pregnant with your child! I will go to hell with you!" Hiding its face under one wing, Richard turned into a female voice and pretended crying.
The crying was so overwhelming. It almost sounded real.
Zhang Zian almost wanted to kill that bird! This bitchy bird was putting on a heartbreaking love story.
Honestly, when the bitch bird mimicked the voice of a Japanese porn star, its voice sounded almost like one. If it hadn't happened in class, Zhang Zian might be turned on hearing that voice.
Some pedestrians were walking by quickly. They slowed down and peeked into the store upon hearing the bird. They were hoping to see some breaking news about someone dumping a pretty girl. Yet they were disappointed to find that only a young man, a few cats and a huge bird were inside the store…
"Weird, is he watching TV?" They shook their heads and moved on.
