Chapter 185: On the Observatory
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The central academic building covered a large area with four entrances from various directions. Zhang Zian and Old Time Tea both walked around the building and confirmed that the Elfin wasn't there before they entered the building.
The ground floor was busy. The shiny marble floor was reflecting everything above it. Looking up, the high ceiling could make people dizzy. Four elevators and an extra one for teachers were all full. Many students were waiting to get on the next ride.
Although he didn't want to get in the crowded elevator, climbing up the stairs sounded less attractive. Zhang Zian decided to take the elevator and take the stairs down one floor at a time.
He squatted down and said, ”Grandpa Tea, let's take the elevator. Jump up to my shoulder so it will be more comfortable for you.”
Looking at the seriously cramped elevator, Old Time Tea smiled and jumped up on Zhang's shoulder.
Feeling the weight on one side of his shoulder, Zhang Zian supported himself with one hand on the ground.
Old Time Tea was quite heavy.
”Grandpa Tea, you have to stay put. I am getting up now,” he reminded Old Time Tea and then raised himself up.
Old Time Tea securely landed on his shoulder with its four paws.
The door of the elevator opened. Zhang Zian followed the flow to enter the elevator. Everyone was trying to get in until it was absolutely full.
Old Time Tea was doing great. No matter how he was pushed and pressed by others, Old Time Tea always remained balanced on his shoulder.
Zhang Zian took a look at the buttons. Someone already pressed the button for the top floor so all he needed to do was to wait until he was there.
The elevator stopped at almost every floor. Some people got off and some came in. In general, more people got out than got in. Therefore, there was more and more room as the elevator went up.
The elevator arrived at the top floor.
There weren't any classrooms on the top floor. It was an observatory.
Surprisingly, there were many young couples hanging out up here. They were hugging each other, speaking softly and laughing loudly.
Zhang Zian felt uncomfortable as soon as he got out of the elevator. Old Time Tea jumped down from his shoulder and walked around the observatory with him. Zhang Zian was the only single guy up there.
”Look, Grandpa Tea. Isn't that Mt. Hidden Fog?”
Coming to a corner, Zhang Zian looked out from the glass wall and saw a small mountain. He remembered seeing Binhai University from Mt. Hidden Fog, so it was not surprising that he could see Mt. Hidden Fog from here. It was a nice day with barely any clouds in the sky. The visibility was extremely high. He could see the peak of the mountain. It was too bad he didn't bring his binoculars, otherwise he might have been able to see the Hidden Fog Teahouse.
He was wondering if the two ladies in the teahouse were still in their RPG game.
Old Time Tea tried his best to look that way and said, ”If you think that is Mt. Hidden Fog, you should be right.”
Zhang Zian suddenly realized that cats couldn't see as well as humans during the day. It was normal that Old Time Tea couldn't see it.
