Richard asked Zhang Zian to bring the birdcage to the second floor, open the gate of the cage and let the two red-headed lovebirds fly out from the cage. Because on the second floor, there was kitchen, living room, bedroom, storage room, and all kinds of daily supplies. Richard was planning to let them learn about the names of the commonly-seen objects there.
Before opening the gate, Richard first imitated the red-headed lovebirds' voices and said something to them, probably asking them not to escape, because there was no way out when all the windows were shut closed these cold days.
Little Purple and Yellow Pea Cake flew out from the cage hesitantly, landed on the sink in the kitchen and looked around nervously.
”Quack, quack!” Richard cleared its throat, raised its wing to point at the pot on the stove. When it was about to show them how to pronounce the word ”pot”, a meowing cat interrupted it.
”Meow!” The American Shorthair hiding behind the refrigerator stuck out its head. It had noticed the red-headed lovebirds, and made a light sound.
Richard was startled, and it fluttered its wings and flew to the top of the cupboard.
”Quack! Quack! Get this cat away! I can see that it's up to no good from the way it looked at us.”
Zhang Zian nearly forgot the fact that the American Shorthair was a cat. Though Fina, Snowy Lionet, Galaxy and Old Time Tea were not bird-eaters, he was not quite certain about this American Shorthair. If it bit these two red-headed lovebirds to death or ate them, all his efforts would be in vain.
He bent over and held up the American Shorthair, and was about to send it downstairs.
”Meow” Galaxy happened to come upstairs, and seeing the American Shorthair was in Zhang Zian's arms, it immediately shouted, ”Got-cha!”
”Galaxy is playing hide and seek with it?” asked Zhang Zian.
”Yes!” Galaxy nodded.
”We need to use the second floor; can you play hide and seek with it on the first floor?” Zhang Zian discussed with Galaxy.
Galaxy agreed, ”Okay, I got it.”
Zhang Zian picked up American Shorthair and Galaxy and sent them down to the first floor, and reminded Galaxy not to let American Shorthair come upstairs again. He went back upstairs after putting down American Shorthair.
Richard flew down from the top of the cupboard and said with a lingering fear, ”Quack, quack! That was so close! These two idiots probably haven't seen cats before, since they were not afraid at all.”
”You are not afraid of Fina or Snowy Lionet, but you seem to be afraid of this ordinary cat?” Zhang Zian asked curiously.
”Of course, I am afraid of it. Those other four cats are stupid — at least they have the intelligence to understand my words,” said Richard, ”But when it comes to these ordinary cats, they can't understand a word I say. So, I'd better run for my life.”
”And that black and white cat was playing hide-and-seek?” it asked.
”Yes, are you interested in that?” Zhang Zian just asked casually because he didn't think Richard would ever be interested in playing hide-and-seek.
Just when Richard was opening its beak to talk, Zhang Zian's cell phone rang.
It was Sun Xiaomeng who was calling. Zhang Zian gestured at Richard to stop talking, and then answered the call.
”Hey, what's the matter?” he asked directly.
He guessed Sun Xiaomeng must have something urgent, or else she would never call him directly.
”Have you been telling everyone that your pets are in the care of my clinic?” Sun Xiaomeng sounded angry over the phone. ”Someone is buying pets here. You need to come over.”
”Okay, tell him to wait for a while, I will come over right away.” It was an opportunity for him to make money, so Zhang Zian was in high spirits and quickly said to Richard, ”Hold that thought of whatever it is you have to talk about, I need to go out now.”
Richard regrettably swallowed its tongue back. Zhang Zian hastily went downstairs and didn't notice that.
”I need to go out for a while, and I'll be back soon.” he said to the other elves in the pet shop.
