Seeing that Zhang Zian's face froze, Little Celery asked curiously, ”Isn't that the case?”
Although Richard didn't know how Zhang Zian and Little Celery met, it was very smart, so it sensed the embarrassment. Richard said as it was flapping its wings, ”Squawk! Squawk! May I have more apples?”
”Stop it. You can't eat them all. We have to save some for Xiao Ling and Ear!” Zhang Zian understood the hint.
Little Celery immediately shifted her focus and laughed, ”That's fine. I will bring one more apple tomorrow.”
”You don't have to,” Zhang Zian stopped her, ”We shouldn't spoil that bird.”
”Squawk! Squawk! What a mean guy! Jeff, you disappoint me!” Richard said as it jumped around.
”Well, you are better at disappointing people than me!” Zhang Zian said humbly.
Little Celery laughed, and then she remembered something, ”Oh no! I am almost late again! I don't have time to talk to Xiao Ling and Ear! Brother Store Manager, I have to leave. Please feed Xiao Ling and Ear for me. I will come tomorrow.”
”Sure. Watch out for cars!”
Zhang Zian watched her leave the store and relaxed.
”Jeff, I think you made a huge mistake on empiricism and dogmatism,” Richard said seriously.
”I don't think so...” Although doubtful, Zhang Zian insisted, ”Maybe her mom was worried she wouldn't focus on her studies if she had a pet.”
Was it true? Zhang Zian recalled all the limited conversations he had ever had with Little Celery. He could tell that she was a disciplined child. Her mom had to know that. It seemed that her mom was very detail-oriented because she always braided Little Celery's hair perfectly. Also, she was careful enough to put Little Celery's name on her clothes. She had to pay all her her attention and love to Little Celery.
If this was the case, why wouldn't she let Little Celery have a pet?
Was it because of money?
Picking up the zip-lock bag Little Celery left behind, Zhang Zian found that there were various kind of nuts inside, including some rather expensive ones such as pecans and pistachios. Little Celery's clothes were also quite nice. In conclusion, he guessed it wasn't a money matter.
Never mind, every family was different. He realized he would never figure out what was going on with her family, and it was none of his business anyways.
Zhang Zian walked to the door, looked outside and found Guo Dongyue standing in front of Aunt Li's restaurant, waiting for the BBQ skewers.
”Galaxy, Fina, Grandpa Tea, and Snowy Lionet, I am going out with the guy who was just here. We are going to a bird breeding base. Would you like to come with me or would you like to rest in my cell phone?” He asked for the pets' opinions.
”Squawk! Squawk! Jeff, why did you ask everyone but me?” Richard was flapping its wings unhappily.
”You? You don't have a choice,” Zhang Zian didn't want to waste time with Richard, so he put it back to the game directly.
Galaxy was curious, ”A bird breeding base?”
