Chapter 688: Cat Bet
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The world was a weird place. A thousand people had a thousand different personalities, none were similar.
Some people obsessed about checking to see if they locked their door. Some people obsessed about washing their hands.
Tang Yuyun was special. She particularly disliked things that were leftovers. Her personality certainly made her life difficult, but overcoming the OCD was difficult. It wasn't a life-threatening condition, so not many people paid attention to it.
At the end of the day, Tang Yuyun's OCD took root in the fact that she had money. If she were poor, or as cheap as Zhang Zian, she would'd overcome her OCD a long time ago.
She said, ”I don't plan on getting a lot of cats. One is enough, but I want a perfect cat. I think purebred cats are the best for me. They're expensive, as all pedigree cats are, but at least I'll never grow tired of it, right?”
Zhang Zian nodded. To some extent, her words made sense. It demonstrated that she was rational, and not just impulsively getting a cat.
Buying a cat was just like buying a cellphone, there were two kinds of people. One bought an expensive phone, which could last for a few years. The other bought a cheap phone, and changed it for a new one every year. Both choices made sense. However, a cat was a long commitment. If one bought a cheap cat, he/she might covet someone else's expensive cat, but if one had a pedigree cat, he/she was unlikely to covet a cheap cat.
Tang Yuyun continued, ”I've been following the pet shops in this city. I browse Weibo and Wechat every day. As soon as there's a kitten for sale, I go immediately in order to be the first one to pick. Unfortunately, I'm always too late, and I wasn't quite satisfied with the breeds. I heard that you were starting to sell the Abyssinian cats in your shop, and I paid a deposit at my earliest convenience.”
Zhang Zian comforted her, ”I can assure you that no one has picked out their kittens.”
”That's great!” Tang Yuyun was relieved. ”I was worried that I may have arrived too late. I was out of town during the Spring Festival. I cut my trip short when I heard the news, and came back.”
”Normally, very few people start picking the kittens this early. They're too small, and you can't see anything. Most pet shops would wait until they grow up and start selling them when their characteristics are distinguishable. However, since you're our first customer of the Abyssinian cats, I'll give you a special privilege.” Zhang Zian told her honestly.
If the kitten was picked at birth, the condition it ended up with largely depended on luck. It was like cat betting, even the most experienced couldn't be certain of what they'd get because most pet shops didn't allow customers to pick kittens at such a young age.
Zhang Zian had faith in the kittens bloodline. He trusted the breeding handbook Kathy had written. Any of the kittens were good enough for breed shows when they grew up.
When Yu Liyun showed up for work, he asked her to watch the shop. He took Tang Yuyun into the shop next door.
After soon as Tang Yuyun entered the shop, she felt a wave of heat. ”It's so hot in here.”
