The word ”elegance” tended to give people the impression of fat and lazy, but this cat was different. It was toned and lean with some wild beauty, and it might have even been a stray cat, but it was absolutely not a stray cat. Its almond, aquamarine eyes were like a pair of priceless cat's-eye emeralds, shining with the light of reasoning and wisdom.
The cat had a small face but large eyes. Its body was tall and graceful, which was the legendary nine-headed body scale. If there were models among the cats, it would absolutely be a good one.
The head was wedge-shaped if looked at from the side. The bridge of its nose was very high, with an inverted-triangle red nose tip. Its mouth was very small, with smooth contours. Its ears were large and pointy and looked dignified and charming.
It had muscular limbs, strong toes, and a lightweight body, making its movements extraordinarily flexible, like a well-trained ballet dancer.
In terms of the length of its hair, its hair seemed slightly longer than a British Shorthair’s, but it would still be in the category of short-haired cats.
Its body was covered with various stripes and spots. The cheeks and neck had shallow, wavy stripes, and the limbs had thick, irregular stripes. The tail had round stripes, while the body was covered with tiger spots. All the stripes and spots were dark gold.
In addition to the dark gold stripes, the spots, and the white beard, the rest of its fur was a bright gold that could strike people’s eyes. The gold jewelry store was its natural camouflage.
The cat was squatting on the glass counter, very close to the college-student couple, but neither the couple nor the clerk noticed it.
It seemed that the young couple had started an argument, and their voices were getting louder and louder. It sounded like their argument was about the diamond ring the girl was holding.
Zhang Zian stood there for a moment and heard what was going on. The girl wanted to buy the diamond ring, but the boy didn’t, so the girl accused the boy of no longer loving her, otherwise why did he not want to buy it for her?
Zhang Zian had no sympathy toward the boy. He gave a cold grin and thought, ”Sure enough, show your love and die fast!”
There was a shopping guide next to the couple who was afraid that wasn’t enough and asked, ”Would you like to try it on?”
The girl opened her eyes in surprise and responded, ”Oh? Really?”
The senior staff smiled. ”Certainly. If you don't try it, how would you know if it fits you?”
With a low voice, the boy whispered in her ear, ”An An, please don’t try it. If you try it, we must buy it, so don’t believe them...”
The senior staff handed the girl a pair of thin gloves. Ignoring the boy, the girl put on the gloves and then put the ring on her left middle finger. The girl raised her left hand so it was facing the sun, letting a ray of light from the diamond reflect the colorful lines.
”How beautiful...” She seemed to enjoy looking at it.
Zhang Zian looked at the cat, which seemed to have great interest in the diamond ring, as the cat was staring at it without blinking. Whether the diamond ring was in the girl’s hand or on her finger, the cat’s eyes were like iron that had met a magnet. The green eyes reflected the diamond ring’s shadow, and occasionally a small pink tongue licked its mouth.
”Is it okay to take a frontal HD photo? The cat is very quiet, so it shouldn’t be difficult to take a picture. I just need to find a right angle...” Zhang Zian thought and got ready to do so.
”Sorry, sir, you can’t take pictures here,” Su Min moved a step toward him and blocked his camera.
”Why?” Zhang Zian asked with a puzzled face.
