While Jin Er was talking about the strange things that had happened that night, such as crossing 16 green lights consecutively and seeing four red lights in the same crossroad, Snowy had collected enough opinions from her fans and posted a new Weibo.
”Live broadcast notice.”
”Location: Amazing Fate Pet Shop.”
”Specific time: To be announced, will let everyone know before the broadcast.”
”Theme: The amazing parrot in the pet shop.”
The Mercedes-Benz limousine slowly parked beside the road and Jin Er reminded her, ”Snowy, I think this is the second-hand store you are going to, correct?”
She turned her eyes away from her cell phone screen, looked outside through the car window and saw a sign that said ”Back to the Old Days”.
”Yes, this is the place. Thank you, Uncle Jin.”
Snowy put on her gloves and plush hat again, got out of the car, and extended gratitude to Uncle Jin.
Good-for-Nothing barked at her, as if saying: And me! Don’t forget about me!
She smiled and waved at Good-for-Nothing, ”Goodbye, Good-for-Nothing, when you take off your bandages and the collar on your neck, I will bring Snowball to play with you.”
Hearing the name of Snowball, Good-for-Nothing trembled, probably because it had been defeated by Snowball too many times...
”Do you need me to wait for you?”
Jin Er looked around. It was a spacious and bleak alley with few pedestrians. He worried that Snowy might run into danger if she was left there alone. He was the one who brought Snowy out of their neighborhood, and if something happened to her, he would get himself into trouble too. He wouldn’t worry about the safety of other girls the same age of Snowy, but Snowy had only lived in a comfortable and safe environment and was well-protected by her parents, so he worried that she would be gullible and would easily fall into strangers’ traps.
”I will be fine.” Snowy shook her head, ”Uncle Jin, you should take Good-for-Nothing for a check-up and bandage removal now. I will take care of myself.”
”Alright, if anything happens, call me.” Jin Er reminded her again.
”Understood. Don't worry about me, Uncle Jin,” Snowy smiled.
Jin Er said goodbye to her and asked his driver to drive off.
After they left, Snowy raised her head to observe this two-story store of antique design.
The storefront had a red-lacquered gate set with brass studs. On the left and right side were two red-lacquered columns as wide as water buckets. Right above the gate was a plaque with yellow characters saying Back to the Old Days on a blue background. The imitation of the design found in ancient times was quite successful— the only flaw was that everything seemed too new. They hadn’t suffered from harsh weather for decades, so the old-vintage element was missing. Apparently, this store had been built not long ago.
The red-lacquered gate was open, and the store inside seemed a bit dark.
”Hello?” Snowy knocked on the gate, crossed over the high threshold and walked in.
