822 Cold Shoulder (1/2)

The sun rose slowly.

On a warm spring day, even the most hardcore Otaku would go outside.

There were more and more visitors to the pet shop and aquarium. Some were there just for a look, while some came for the promotions. Some were seriously searching for a pet, while others came for Famous.

During promotional periods, Zhao Qi would surely be there––she had to seize the chance and buy enough foreign brand cat food for Lan Lan.

She came with Shi Shi, despite that Shi Shi would rather spend time with her boyfriend, Liu Sanlang. After she was accused of ”dates before mates,” however, she followed her in obedience. She could also buy some dog food for Xiao La.

As the official screening of Dog Warrior in mainland China approached, the production team and producers started new rounds of promotional campaigns. Famous, the new Best Actor of the Berlin Film Festival, was surely the center of all promotions. Therefore, more and more people came to look at Famous with their own eyes. There were even tourists coming in from other cities.

The production team also asked Zhang Zian if they could borrow Famous for a while. If Famous could be present during the promotional activities, it would be better––of course, if he had time to participate in the promotional activities with Famous, the team would greatly appreciate that, too.

Zhang Zian had no time: The aquarium business was just starting; the cat abuse issue was still troubling him deeply; plus, he had the trouble-making mermaid in his bathtub… He was unable to leave Binhai City at all.

He was not comfortable of lending Famous to them; therefore, he didn't agree.

Famous had already acquired the ability to move around freely. It could understand human languages, and it was able to foresee impending danger due to its crisis prediction ability. It was unlikely to run into danger, though; the production team could make a ton of money with it, so they would surely take good care of it.

He didn't refuse them up front. He told the team that if the promotional activity was very important, he might squeeze in some time to attend. As for other activities, he agreed to make Famous available as much as possible, either for photos or videos.

Zhang Zian put a vase of tulips in the aquarium to add some fragrance to the dark room. Then he returned to the pet shop.

After knowing what to do, Snowy borrowed a basin from Lu Yiyun. She sat in a corner and put Snowball inside the basin and tried to groom it using scissors, holding her phone on the side.

Snowball was very obedient, but it was naughty occasionally. If it suddenly became active while being groomed, the scissors might hurt it. But after coming to the pet shop, Snowball became so quiet and obedient. Snowy could do almost anything to it. It was like a living, fuzzy toy.

The live broadcast fans were laughing and joking as usual, teasing Snowy not to overgroom it, in case Snowball became a bald cat like a monk…

Snowy opened her eyes wide and bit her lips. She was grooming very carefully. But as she was not so good at it, the more careful she tried to be, the worse she did. Snowball was so badly groomed that it seemed as if it had been chewed by a dog, which made the online fans laugh even harder. They teased that she didn't need to broadcast other things. She could earn millions per month by broadcasting cat grooming!

Luckily, Snowball didn't care about it so much. It felt cooler with less hair, and the hair wouldn't end up inside its stomach.

”Hello! Are you Mr. Zhang Zian?” A lady's voice came clear and sharp from the shop's entrance.

Snowy lifted her head to look. Zhang Zian seemed to be talking to a young lady dressed like a reporter.
