As soon as Zhang Zian said that a different dance had been prepared for the Abyssinian cats, someone immediately questioned, ”Didn’t you say earlier that all of your cats, regardless of breed, dance the same movements?”
Zhang Zian had expected such a question, and he immediately replied, ”First of all, I only said that the cats currently being sold share the same movements, and Abyssinian cats are not currently on sale. Second of all, some dance moves are so complicated that only a few breeds of cats, such as Abyssinian cats, can master them. ”
His words aroused a great curiosity in everyone. What kind of dance moves could Abyssinian cats perform that other cats could not?
”Mr. Manager, please show us — we all want to see!” With her hands crossed, Snowy was urged by everyone to beg Zhang Zian to show the dance. In fact, she was very curious herself too.
Zhang Zian deliberately pretended that he was put in a dilemma. After ”thinking” for a while, he granted the request reluctantly. ”Well, I guess I can show you the performance, but this set of dance moves is very difficult, and the training time has not been sufficiently long enough yet, so please do forgive us if there are any flaws in the dance.”
The choreography was too difficult? Everyone looked at each other. In their opinion, teaching the kittens to dance to the song of Little Apple was already a mission that seemed impossible. What could possibly be more difficult than that? Many people were restlessly scratching their heads and couldn’t wait to see the show!
Zhang Zian picked up the remote that controlled the lights inside the shop, telling the customers, ”In order to create an atmosphere, I will turn off some of the interior lights, so watch your own belongings.”
Looking around and hearing no objection from the crowd, he turned off all the lights on the ceiling except for the one right above the Abyssinian cats. With the soft light radiating straight downwards, a bright circular area was formed. For this, he really needed to thank Guo Dongyue, who had improved the indoor lighting situation greatly and thus contributed to the dance performance’s overall magnificence.
Sunshine was weaker in the winter than in the summer, and the Amazing Fate Pet Shop was an old house with an outdated structure, so the natural lighting was poor. After the lights were turned off, the room was suddenly dimmed, creating an atmosphere like that of a theater.
People were holding their breaths. Eyes wide open in the dark room, they were waiting excitedly to see Zhang Zian’s tricks.
Zhang Zian clapped his hands three times, and four of the seven Abyssinian cats immediately started to walk elegantly into the lighted area. Standing side by side, they looked up at Zhang Zian.
The gentle light created shades on their smooth furs. The viewers had the illusion that with every slight change in angle, their furs seemed to shift colors. In fact, this was because every hair of an Abyssinian cat was, from the tip to the end, divided into two or three different colors, which appeared even more mysterious when they were illuminated.
Because the light was directly targeted on their bodies, the shading highlighted their facial features. Their amber eyes reflected the light, making them seem like they were gazing at the audience fiercely.
”Ladies and gentlemen!”
Zhang Zian spoke the predetermined code words while pressing play on the music player on his phone.
