Zhang Zian wouldn't usually turn on the light in the bedroom after getting up because some of the elves still slept.

He was asking for trouble by shouting. The pillow on the princess bed flew towards his face. Fortunately, he dodged the attack.

”What the hell? You've ruined my dream! I've never gotten up so early.” Fina glared at Zhang Zian. Fina was the elfin that liked sleeping all day long.

Fina wasn't lying. It was the first elf to go to sleep every night and the last elfin to wake up every morning.

Snowy Lionet yawned, rubbed its eyes, and gloated, ”Your Majesty, he woke you up on purpose. He should be castrated!”

Old Time Tea also woke up. Putting on its bamboo hat, it curiously asked, ”Zian, what happened?”

Galaxy raised its head and looked at him. ”Meow! Zian, you look energetic today!”

Do I usually look dead? Zhang Zian wondered. Maybe, he said to himself.

”Galaxy, you're also very energetic, just like you are every morning!” he said softly.

Galaxy nodded vigorously. ”Meow! I got up early to play hide and seek.”

”Well, today's game of hide and seek has to be postponed until the afternoon. Get up quickly. I'm taking everyone to see a movie.” Zhang Zian paused and lifted his hand to point at Famous. ”Not just any movie. It's Famous's movie, the movie I worked on.”

Famous woke up, but hadn't said a word. After returning from the police dog nursing home, it seemed lifeless and was always staring off into the distance. Zhang Zian didn't know what Famous was thinking, and he had been planning to find an opportunity to ease its mind. Going to the movie theaters seemed like a great opportunity.

Famous stunned, looked up from the blanket.

”Oh?” laughed Old Time Tea. ”I should enjoy this movie. Where are we seeing it? On the TV?”

”No, due to restrictions, we have to go to the movie theater. Old Time Tea, you've seen many movies on TV, but those are all old movies. Today, we're seeing a new movie that hasn't been released yet anywhere and is only accessible to us.” Zhang Zian explained.

”Meow! Theater? What's a movie theater?” Galaxy asked, blinking its silver-gray eyes.

”A movie theater is...is...” Zhang Zian couldn't really explain what a movie theater was. ”A place where you can see movies?”

Galaxy was still confused.

”The movie theater can take you to another life. The huge screen will make you feel like you're in the world of the movie. When a train in the movie drives towards you, you may think that it's a real train heading towards you.” Famous slowly said, ”The people who go see movies are well-dressed and will discuss the plots for a long afterwards.”

Zhang Zian looked down at his pajamas. Nowadays, moviegoers that dressed up to go to the movies were rare, right?

”You can also eat snacks while watching the movie. Snacks that are already delicious will be even more delicious when you watch a movie.” Famous added, ”Like popcorn, also known as the 'movie mate.' Although, most movie theaters won't allow you to bring popcorn from home.”

”Snacks...” Fina licked its lips. ”Is little dried fish considered a snack?”

Famous hesitated and said uncertainly, ”I think so, but theaters don't sell dried fish.”

”What? They don't sell dried fish? What's wrong with them? Is that discrimination against cats?” Fina groaned.

”Movies are prepared for humans, after all. Not a lot of people like to eat dried fish.” Famous answered seriously.

Fina snorted in disdain. ”I don't think popcorn is delicious. It's junk food.”

Famous shook its head. ”Eating popcorn isn't just about enjoying the taste. If a young man and a young lady share a bucket of popcorn, they often accidentally touch each other's hands when they reach for popcorn, sparking something between them. The dimly lit theater has always been a great place for dates.”

Zhang Zian was sad because he didn't have a girlfriend to hold hands with. He noticed that Famous was knowledgeable about theaters, although some of its information was outdated.
