700 Home Alone (2/2)

”Yes. After the film festival is over, we can travel there for a few days before heading back. You'll surely have a lot of fun…” As soon as Zhang Zian spoke these words, he suddenly realized that Pi would be staying home and waiting for their return. He didn't know what to do.

”Eek.” Pi waved its hands, meaning that he didn't need to worry about it. It waved again to say that they could fully enjoy themselves before coming back.

”Meow. Isn't Pi going?” Galaxy blinked its big eyes and stared at Pi. The silver-gray light twinkled in its eyes.

”Eek.” Pi shook its head.

Zhang Zian didn't think too much and explained the situation to Galaxy on its behalf.

”Meow. Galaxy is following then, to play hide-and-seek in Germany!” Galaxy exclaimed with excitement.

”Okay. The meeting is adjourned. You guys are dismissed. I'll do some packing. I have to pack early, just in case I forget anything.” Zhang Zian looked at the time, then gave the order of dismissal.

He went upstairs and took out a luggage bag from the storage room, which he used earlier on the USA trip. He stuffed some clothing inside, along with other things that he might need.

The so-called dismissal meant continuing to sleep, play, and horse around with the elfins. Pi might be the only one with serious business.

It jumped onto the swivel chair, sat straight in front of the desk, then put on its pince-nez and browsed the content in a Word document that it was writing earlier before going downstairs. It was trying to pick up where it had left earlier.

The QQ icon at the bottom right screen was blinking—somebody was looking for it, but it didn't click on it to check the message. Zhang Zian would help deal with those later.

Regarding the Germany trip of Zhang Zian and others, despite that Pi acted as if it didn't care, there was some pity and reluctance in its heart. It wanted to follow everybody, just like the last time they went for fireworks together, but it could not. Now was the first month that its novel went Premium. This was a crucial period, and a long-term interruption of updates would undo all the hard work in the past. It didn't want to disappoint the readers who had been supporting it all along.

It was fine. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

In fact, it was also an Otaku at heart.

Pi quieted its mind and picked up the interrupted train of thought; it had already planned what to write next. It then placed two index fingers on F and J, naturally resuming the correct typing position that Zhang Zian had taught it. It no longer needed to work on resuming the position anymore, for this had become its instinct.

”Meow.” Pi was about to press the key when it heard Galaxy meowing behind it.

It looked back. For however long, Galaxy was sitting around 1.5 meters behind Pi, gazing at it while blinking its silver-gray eyes. The light in its eyes was as dazzling as the galaxy.

”Eek?” Pi made a questioning gesture, then pointed at the computer screen to indicate that it needed to work and had no time for play-and-seek.

Galaxy didn't look like it was inviting it to play hide-and-seek, though. It spoke seriously, ”Meow. Pi, when you are home alone, do not go downstairs!”

Pi paused, then nodded and pointed at the storage room, meaning that Zhang Zian had already reminded it earlier.

”Meow. Do not go downstairs at any time, either during the day or at night!” After saying this, Galaxy swung its tail and left, leaving Pi confused.
