While the shoe store went through renovations, Zhang Zian had the idea to connect it to the pet store. That way, there was no need to head outside. However, he gave the idea up because there was no reason to go through all that trouble just for the 10 steps it took to get into the shoe store by going outside.

The shoe store was slightly bigger than the pet store, and Zhang Zian hadn't yet decided on how to better make use of the space. He had been thinking of bringing in new pets because the pet prices would drop to an all-time low, thanks to the Love Lovely Pets incident, but Zhang Zian hadn't made up his mind on what breed to get.

Zhang Zian went downstairs as he put on clothes. He tried to soften his footsteps so he wouldn't disturb the elfins and animals that were still asleep, but the shutter doors made noise when he opened them.

However, the shutter doors were nothing compared to the fireworks.

The scent of gunpowder wafted through the air with the midnight breeze.

As he stepped out the store, Zhang Zian realized that he forgot to get the keys to the shoe store, so he went back in to grab them. When he made it to the entrance of the shoe store, Fina was already getting impatient.

”What took you so long?” Fina said discontentedly.

Zhang Zian used his phone as a light source as he unlocked the door. He was just about to explain himself when he heard pecking from the bedroom window of the pet store. When he looked up, Richard had its face plastered against the glass. ”Ga! You better stop taking your time!”

Zhang Zian made a fist and thought, I'm going to hang you up for the whole night.

He opened the door of the shoe store, and fumbled around for the lights, while Fina had sprung in the store.

Zhang Zian didn't have a cat's ability to see in the dark, and he wasn't familiar with the layout of the shoe store so he lagged behind.

To maintain a dark, tranquil ambiance, the second floor had light bulbs of low wattage. If the lights were on, it wouldn't bother the pregnant cats or those in labor.

Zhang Zian made his way to the second floor. Even though he was anxious to check on the cats, he had to move around carefully. He saw Fina outside the delivery room.

When he looked through the glass of the door, Zhang Zian saw a female cat roaming around restlessly, it sounded panicked. To prevent the pregnant cats from disturbing one another, every cat had its own compartment.

Fina was annoyed with Zhang Zian so she glared at him and gestured for him to open the door.

As Zhang Zian opened the door, a gush of hot air poured out. The temperature in the delivery room was high because newly born kittens needed to stay in a room of 30 degrees or higher to prevent their body temperature from dropping too low. These needs were prioritized during the renovation of the delivery rooms, so every compartment had a built-in electrical warmer in the walls.

As the compartments weren't that big, one electrical warmer was sufficient, and since they were built into the walls, it prevented the cats from burning themselves.
