It was getting dark.

Zhang Zian watched the clock. It was past 5 o’clock.

It was almost peak hour for people to go home from work. More and more people were walking on the street. At this time, most people were in a hurry to get home and seldom would stop for a pet. The wind felt good in the morning, but as it got dark, it started to get cold. As the wind blew through the trees, the rustling leaves gave people an eerie and depressing feeling.

It wasn’t too dark yet. No customer was in the store. Zhang Zian turned on the lights outside of the store, but not the ones inside. The ”Amazing Fate Pet Shop” sign was lit up as well. He was hoping the pedestrians would notice the sign and remember the store.

This was a boring time for him. No customers. The two followers of his did not arrive either.

Fina was taking a nap on the tallest cat tree. Her tail was hanging and whipping from time to time just like a bell in an old clock, or a magician’s watch. Zhang Zian started to feel tired just watching her tail whip.

Old Time Tea was still having fun watching TV. The light from the screen lit her beard up. Old Time Tea was just like Zhang Zian when he was little. She moved her body from time to time, wanting to jump into the TV and be part of the show.

Zhang Zian fell asleep for a second. His head suddenly jerked down and he was awake.

I can’t fall asleep like this. I will get sick.

He wiped his face and turned his eyes to look outside.

Xinghai was also yawning. The kittens were not as energetic as her, so they couldn’t keep up after playing hide-and-seek for just a little while.

”Xinghai, do you want to play?” Zhang Zian asked.

”Hide-and-seek? Yeah! Xinghai wants to play hide-and-seek!” Xinghai got excited.

”Okay! Let me warm up first!” He stood up from the recliner, stretched his back, and moved around. Although he knew warming up wouldn’t help him beat Xinghai, it was better to warm up so he wouldn’t hurt himself easily during the game.

Zhang Zian found a wall and said, ”I will start counting now. You’d better hide yourself, otherwise I am going to win this time…”

Bullsh*t!

Xinghai standing right behind him and said, ”Zian won’t beat Xinghai.”

Xinghai’s heart was always pure. She always told the truth, which sometimes was quite hurtful.

”Okay. I am going to punish you by counting fast! One, two, three…” He was counting quickly, only leaving half a second between the numbers.

”Oh no! Zian is tricky!” Xinghai’s voice faded.

”Four, five, six…adults can play tricks just like kids can whine…seven, eight, nine…” Zhang Zian continued counting. What a thick-skinned person!

When he finished counting to 100, he turned around. Xinghai was gone.

Fina was not interested in childish games like this at all, so she kept napping.

Old Time Tea stared at the second floor. He looked like he had something to tell.

”What’s up, Miss Tea?” Zhang Zian didn’t search for Xinghai.

Old Time Tea laughed, ”That kid’s name is Xinghai, right?”
