”Zhang, today was really an eye-opening experience! See you later!”

Liu and Wang parked the car in front of the pet shop and waved goodbye to Zhang Zian.

”Come in for dinner. I'm just about to order food, I can order some for you.” Zhang Zian invited them.

”No, thank you. We asked for the day off, there are a lot of chores for us to do when we go back tonight,” Liu said.

Zhang Zian knew what he said was true, so he didn't insist on dinner. ”Well, have a safe trip and drive slowly.”

After watching them drive away, Zhang Zian and Famous went into the pet shop.

”Home, sweet, home.”

Zhang Zian patted the cashier desk to greet Lu Yiyun, who was focused on painting. He made a phone call and ordered two servings of food, one of which was for Lu Yiyun.

Famous looked up and saw that everything in the pet shop was the same as usual. The energetic Galaxy was playing hide and seek. Fina was taking a nap on the highest branch of the cat tree, its tail waving in the air. Snowy Lionet was mesmerizingly staring at Fina's tail and murmuring ”raw beef brisket.” Old Time Tea was watching TV on the electric blanket in the corner, while Richard was commanding Old Time Tea to change the channel.

Lu Yiyun rapidly put on her jacket. After ordering dinner, Zhang Zian asked her about her day. It seemed that everything went smoothly.

Famous was more tired than usual because not only did it fight the Mastiff King, but it also ran back and forth several times in the scene where the wandering group of Tibetan Mastiffs chase the police dogs. It would really like to find a place to rest before supper. Since it had nothing to do, it walked over to the TV, wondering what Old Time Tea was watching.

It was a martial arts movie set in the ancient times. When the energetic music, a handsome, young man jumped and kicked his enemies with fierce leg techniques.

Old Time Tea was fascinated by the movie, its eyes twinkling. Whenever a kick was executed properly, Old Time Tea applauded the man. How it wished it could engage in the fight too.

”Change the channel! This horrible movie is so fake. Why do you like watching it? I want to see the freaks of the United States. No! America's Got Talent!” Richard hated martial arts movies. It flapped its wings, trying to grab the remote from Old Time Tea. It always failed.

With its eyes on the TV screen, Old Time Tea could make Richard exhausted by moving the remote from its left paw to its right paw, and then from right to left.

Famous felt bad for Richard because even if the parrot practiced for thirty years, it may not ever be able to grab something from Old Time Tea's paws.

”Old Time Tea, how come you chose a different movie?” it asked.

Famous and Zhang Zian knew that Old Time Tea's favorite movies were the ones with Ye Wen. Whether the movies were old or new, it watched the movies of Ye Wen multiple times. Its second favorite movies were those starring Bruce Lee. The protagonist of the movie currently on the TV was neither Ye Wen nor Bruce Lee.

When the martial arts sequence ended, Old Time Tea looked away from the screen and said pleasantly, ”It's a bit boring watching the same movies all the time. It's not bad switch things up occasionally. This series is about a martial arts master named Huang in the Foshan region. Although this man is not quite the same as the man I remember, the martial arts scenes are so amazing that they kind of make up for the inconsistency in storytelling.”

Famous remembered that a few days ago, Old Time Tea was watching the first installment of this series. Back then, Famous was worried about the Mastiff King matter, so it didn't pay enough attention to know what the movie was about.

Old Time Tea thoughtfully glanced at Famous's legs and smiled while it said, ”Famous, have you been on any adventures recently?”

Famous was stunned and asked in wonder, ”How did you know?”

”I may be old, but I can still see. I can see that your posture is different yesterday. You're striding powerfully, in a way that can only be obtained after years of diligent practice. This change is inexplicable unless you've had adventures like the protagonists in the martial arts movies,” Old Time Tea stared at it and laughed. ”You've either here or on set, and you're never in these two places alone. Is there a secret martial arts manual hidden in somewhere in this shop?”

Famous went silent for a moment, then it nodded and said, ”Indeed, this is true. A secret martial arts manual is hidden in somewhere in this shop.”

”Oh?” It was Old Time Tea's turn to be surprised. It couldn't tell whether Famous was joking or telling the truth. Based on common sense, Famous should be joking. Then, how did that explain the changes in Famous's posture?
