Although Zhang Zian sounded perfunctory and so were his facial expressions, it was a reasonable excuse. Running a pet store does not allow him to have normal days off like other people. It was absolutely normal to get out of the store when it was not busy.
”Mr. Manager, do you like hiking? I thought you preferred staying indoors,” Jiang Qianxue was curious.
”Of course! Don’t judge a book from its cover! In fact, I was in the hiking club when I was in college. I’ve been to Yulong Mountain, Meili Snow Mountain, and Mount Everest, so on and so forth,” he said seriously, ”but now I am getting older and not in the shape I used to be in. So, I am hiking this small mountain for fun.”
Some viewers in the broadcast room started cursing. Zhang Zian ignored them.
He noticed Snowy looked different today. She was wearing a red color name-brand wind breaker, a pair of hiking shoes and a small backpack on her back. An Evian mineral water was sitting on the side pocket of her backpack, the same brand as what Fina drank. Obviously, she was well prepared.
Looking at himself, he was dressed like normal: a long-sleeve shirt and a pair of jeans. He didn’t bring anything. He wasn’t dressed for hiking.
”Your equipment…that’s too much for hiking! If you want a live show for hiking, you are lucky today! I am a professional hiker. I can help you!” He still tried to pretend.
She smiled and shook her head. ”I am not hiking today. There is a new teahouse on top of the mountain and my fans would like me to visit.”
Zhang Zian faked to be a hiking professional; however, when he heard the word ”new”, he was excited. Was the new teahouse related to rare pets?
”A new teahouse? Up the hill?” he asked.
She nodded, ”yeah. It is called Teahouse in Hidden Fog. I heard it is very distinctive.”
”When did it open?” he asked again.
”About…two weeks ago?” She wasn’t sure.
He thought about it for a second and clapped his hands, ”that’s great! Let me, a professional hiker, protect you today! Buddy, Let’s go!”
More cursing came out from the live broadcast room, ”Who is your buddy?!”
He turned around as he spoke. After a few steps, he found that she didn’t follow.
”So…Mr. Manager, are you coming to the tea house?” She asked, standing still.
He was moving around and said, ”Yeah! Why wait? Time is of the essence!”
She pointed at the opposite direction and told him, ”Then we have to go that way…”
Zhang Zian was embarrassed. Why didn’t she tell him earlier!
People were laughing like crazy. He walked back and got started heading the other direction.
Half an hour later…
Zhang Zian was left behind for at least 10 meters.
”Wait! Wait! Let me catch my breath!”
Zhang Zian sat down on the side of the road, gasping for breath and sweating like rain. He thought he was quite fit since he stretched every day. He was wrong!
Snowy explained in her show as she hiked. She was breathing normally. She was fit.
”Haha! Mr. Manager is a wimp!”
”Let’s all find out what other lies Mr. Manager told!”
”That was a slap on your face, Mr. Manager!”
