Chapter 586: Don't Forget Me

It was quiet after lunch time. The wind stopped blowing and the smell of sunshine was intoxicating.
There weren't any customers in the store, and most of the pets and elfins were still resting and digesting their food.
Lu Yiyun held a pen in her hand, as she mentally struggled.
She just started posting a comic series on Weibo about a pet shop. Zhang Zian was certainly the basis of the main character. For now on though, the plot would be about the daily lives of the animals in the pet shop.
After thinking for a while, she felt that a lot of potential content could be made based on the store. She'd been listening to Zhang Zian as he explained all of his of pet knowledge to customers, and she thought it could be used in her comics.
Except that she had to decide if she should go for BL, Boy's Love?
BL or couples, these were the two demons fighting in her heart.
This wasn't only a matter of the story, but also to the style of her comic.
As a female otaku obsessed with the ACG world, Lu Yiyun had been inevitably exposed to BL and ACGs. Sometimes she had assignments where she had to draw pictures for BL novels. This came to her naturally, as she was planning the plot of her comic.
A regular relationship was not an option. No way, having a boring relationship was worse than not having a relationship at all.
She gave some further thought. If it were BL, would Zhang Zian be a top or a bottom?
Slowly, she forgot the fact that Zhang Zian was only the basis of the character. She was thinking of him as Zhang Zian himself.
As Lu Yiyun was deciding, Zhang Zian meanwhile had no idea about the crisis and was awaiting his bottom.
He was watching Pi type upstairs, and threw the take-out box aside after he finished eating. He hadn't moved in one hour, and neither had Pi.
”Pi, it's time for a break,” he reminded, looking at his watch.
”Eek.”
Pi nodded halfheartedly, without stopping his typing.
It typed then deleted, After I finish this paragraph.
It was like this all the time, and would only stop after finishing a story. Zhang Zian didn't get it. According to Pi, it was afraid of interrupting its train of thought, since it was hard to get back on track afterwards.
Pi didn't know that Zhang Zian played the game skillfully, and reminded it to take a break 5 to 10 minutes ahead of each time.
”Eek.”
Pi finally stopped and stretched out. Zhang Zian helped it jump off the desk chair, then took it to lie down in its hammock chair.
”Pi, take a good rest. You'd better close your eyes, and stop thinking about the story's plot.”
Zhang Zian grabbed the empty take-out box and stood up to throw it out in the kitchen. Pi grabbed at his clothes as he took a step away.
”Eek.”
”What's the matter, Pi?” He stopped and asked.
Pi stayed still and pointed at the desk.
It just left the computer, so it shouldn't need it again. So...
”You want to hold your book?” Zhang Zian guessed.
Pi shook its head.
There was only one possibility left. He took up Pi's glasses and handed them over. It wasn't wearing glasses while writing, which was out of the ordinary. The glasses had stayed on top of the book.
Pi took the glasses, then waved at him, asking for him to come closer.
Zhang Zian had no idea what it was up to, but he still bent down, thinking that it might want to show him something.
As he got closer, Pi took the glasses and put it on his nose.
”Eek!”
It clapped its hands, and laughed.
Zhang Zian had never worn glasses before, not even sunglasses. He felt a bit nervous as Pi pushed the glasses towards him with its furry hands. He wasn't afraid of Pi, but he'd heard that myopic glasses or reading glasses could make people with normal eyesight feel dizzy.
It turned out that he was just overthinking. As he'd guessed before, the glasses had no prescription. The lenses were clear, and there didn't seem to be any special about it. The world looked the same as before, no gods or ghosts, which made him slightly disappointed.
He was worried that the glasses might not hold and would fall off any moment. He put his palm under his chin to catch them when they fell. But after a while, the glasses were still firmly on his nose.
”What, do I look funny in glasses?”
After seeing Pi laughing happily, he thought that it was because he looked funny wearing them.
”Eek.”
Pi shook its head. Its laughter didn't stop.
He walked into the bathroom to look at himself in the mirror. He looked more mature and educated.
Its construction was very simple. It was short, with a thin metal rod connecting the two oval lenses. The material of the metal was unknown. It was bronze and looked old, with antique designs on it. The lenses were thin, attached to two pieces of metal that supported the nose, and it was the same color as the rod.
The glasses felt light, as if it had no weight.
Some clip-on glasses were attached to a chain or strap to fix it on clothes, to prevent them from slipping, but this one wasn't.
Zhang Zian tried to lower and shake his head. These glasses shouldn't have been able to stay on his nose like this. But strangely, they didn't slip off at all.
He walked out the bathroom and laughed. ”These glasses are interesting.” As he spoke, he started to take them off and give them back to Pi.
”Eek.”
Pi quickly waved its hands to stop him, then pointed at the desk.
Without a doubt, this time it had to mean the book.
Zhang Zian picked up the book and gave it to Pi.
Pi didn't take it, but pointed at Zhang Zian's eyes, then at the book.
”You...want me to read it?” His heart warmed as he spoke.
Pi nodded.
Zhang Zian wasn't as curious about the untitled book as he was before. He'd read it once, but it was all blank. Galaxy said there were many interesting stories in the book, but Famous could only see blurry words.
