Chapter 1006: Strange Things

Zhang Zian watched, his face full of black lines, as the black cat ran through the road and jumped on top of the wall, then disappeared into the neighborhood Lu Yiyun lived in. For some reason, his testicles were in pain and his whole head was full of, “The King of Heaven meows, the demon kitten of Pagoda Town…”

Although he could not understand the “meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow,” he knew the two versions of the “meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow” had some slight difference in terms of tone. It was probably not random meowing.

The cat language was not as complicated as the human language; it could not even compare to the whale song. The stray cat likely did not understand the real meaning of this secret signal, but it was not a problem. They did not use the details in the signal to identify the enemy, and instead used the modulation of the “meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow” to identify if the signal was correct or not.

Perhaps the method was really useful, but it would cause the stray cats in Binhai City to become elfins…

Vladimir had settled something that had been troubling it for a while. It relaxed, opening its mouth to yawn.

“Master, why is your face so black?” Wang Qian and Li Kun came to work at the shop together, and after they looked at Zhang Zian, they could not help but ask.

“Mental… What does it have to do with you!” Zhang Zian had almost spilled out everything and had reported Yang Zirong’s catchphrase.

Wang Qian and Li Kun withdrew their necks, and could not help but stare at each other. They wondered in their hearts why it was that master’s temper was so explosive in the morning. Could it have been that his period came, or he had met some problems on his pursuit of religion?

After a short while, Lu Yiyun came to work with two dark eye circles. She was probably up until very late the night before drawing. She had a drawing board clasped under her armpit, and as she walked, she turned her head back to look.

“When you cross the road, you need to look left and right.” Zhang Zian also stretched his neck to take a look. “Did someone drop their wallet?”

“No, it’s not that… I just saw something that was quite strange just now. It shocked me a bit.” Li Yiyun took out Jasmine from her bag and let it play by itself in the shop.

“What happened?” Zhang Zian asked.

Wang Qian and Li Kun were also very curious.

Lu Yiyun thought about it. “I’m not sure how to say it, but just now, I saw a black cat raising its front paw at the entrance of the neighborhood. It was meowing continuously. Opposite of it was an orange tabby, and it had the same action and was also continuously meowing. It was like they were greeting each other…”

Zhang Zian was speechless.

Wang Qian and Li Kun said, “What’s there to find strange about that? Perhaps they were fighting, and they’re arguing before they fight.” They were not very shocked.

Li Yiyun shook her head to disagree with their thoughts. “That’s not right. I’ve seen these two cats a lot––they are probably stray cats in the neighborhoods. Normally when they meet each other, they are really fighting. They don’t let each other win and continuously call out at each other to see which one admits defeat first. Sometimes, they even start fighting. The orange tabby often makes use of its weight and comes out on top… But it was very strange today. The two of them didn’t seem to be fighting, and were instead doing some kind of complicated ceremony.”

Wang Qian hit his forehead, instantly understanding. “I understand now. It’s spring! You understand!”

Li Kun also had an expression that said, “I know! I know!”

Lu Yiyun said, “…You’re thinking too much. Those two cats are both males.”

“Ga ga! That’s true love!” Richard had come late, but he just happened to hear their conversation and said as he gave looks at Zhang Zian.

Zhang Zian pretended that he could not understand its looks. He waved his hand and said, “All right, don’t gossip anymore. Start to do your work. Right, Wang Qian, help me check if the battery has been fully charged. If it’s fully charged, take it down and place it in the car.”

“Store manager, you’re going out to sea to see whales today?” Jiang Feifei asked as she came into the shop.

“En, these few days I’ve not gone out to sea. It just so happens that I have time today, so I’m going out to sea to enjoy the breeze,” Zhang Zian answered.

“How fortunate that you can go out to sea when you want to. I also want to go out to sea to admire the whales!” Jiang Feifei said, finding it a pity. “But I don’t have a driver’s license, so I can’t drive a car.”

“Find a time to get a driver’s license. In the future, when finding a job, it could be useful.” Zhang Zian pointed at Wang Qian and Li Kun. “Look at these two dumb people. They have a driver’s license… It scared me so much that I bought a 2,000,000 yuan third party insurance, scared that they would hit some kind of luxury car and cause me to go bankrupt…”

“Master, you’re looking down on us too much! Those kinds of rich cars can only be left behind in the dust by us!” Wang Qian and Li Kun carried the battery and said, not satisfied.

“Haha, I still want to find a job at an Underwater Sea World. It’s a pity that Binhai City does not have an Underwater Sea World. I don’t know if one will open in the future…” Jiang Feifei smiled. “I heard that’s a high possibility, though. After all, Binhai City has the advantage of being the only place in China to view whales.”

“Then what kind of job do you want to have at an Underwater Sea World? A person in charge of rearing the fish? Or a trainer?” Zhang Zian asked.

Jiang Feifei shrugged, then sighed. “I don’t know if I can make it as a trainer. The only thing that is suitable for me is being the one to rear the fish… If it’s some other kind of administrative job, I can do it anywhere. Why would I want to do it in the Underwater Sea World?”

Right after that, she laughed at herself and said, “I want to do a mermaid, but my figure is not good enough, and I don’t have long enough legs. Even if I try to apply, they won’t want me.”

“I also want to do a mermaid,” Wang Qian interjected.

“I also want to do one,” Li Kun added.

Jiang Feifei was so angry she stamped her food, knowing that the two of them were purposely acting dumb. “I mean to wear the mermaid costume and act like a mermaid in front of the Underwater Sea World’s audience!

“Us too! Who said there were only female mermaids?” Wang Qian insistently asked back.

Richard took advantage of the chance and called, “Ga ga! So you want to do a male merman?”

Wang Qian was speechless.

“I’m going to ignore all of you. It’s impossible to talk to you all!” Jiang Feifei was so angry she did not want to talk anymore. She was talking about her dream, and the two idiots and the dumb bird only knew how to keep joking.

Jiang Feifei had… a very common body shape among Chinese females. She was on the thin side and was not tall. Her looks were average and she did not have any curves. If she wanted to act like a mermaid to perform in the Underwater Sea World in front of an audience, it was true that she was lacking.

Furthermore, she came from the inner parts of China. Before that, she was a non-swimmer, and she had only learned how to swim when she came to Binhai City. Since the entrance fees to the public swimming pool were too expensive, she did not have that much spare money and time to practice swimming, so she only knew how to swim. Her swimming skills were definitely not very good, and the mermaids in the Underwater Sea World needed to know how to swim very well. They needed to hold their breath underwater for a long time, and when they were swimming they still needed to show a smile to the audience through the glass.

Zhang Zian knew what kind of people (or birds) Wang Qian, Li Kun, and Richard were, and was not shocked at all.

He gave a look at Vladimir, meaning to ask if they had prepared themselves. If they had prepared themselves they could go ahead and leave.

Vladimir nodded. It had not slept well last night, and had been feeling sleepy in the shop. It had wanted to leave a long time ago.

Before they left, Zian still needed to go upstairs to bring the real mermaid along.
