954 A Fatter Snowy (1/2)
Actually, it was not shocking that the elfin-like thing ran into the restricted areas. After all, two-thirds of the Forbidden City was not open to ordinary tourists, so the possibility that it would enter that area was high.
If it really ran into the restricted area, Zhang Zian could only completely give up on capturing it––or he could try to apply for a temporary job in the Forbidden City.
However, the jobs that the Forbidden City were hiring for probably had nothing to do with him, right? Whether it was his university major or his work experience, it seemed that it would not be useful in the Forbidden City.
He could not chase it, but the elfins could… What was the use of catching up, though? The most they could do was see what kind of elfin it was.
”…Snowy…” Zhang Zian was feeling troubled when he suddenly heard people talking next to him; they had mentioned Snowy's name.
The voices had floated over from behind a wall, and so he could not hear them very clearly. The person was speaking very fast and very anxiously.
That was strange… The whole way there, he had not seen any tourists run in front of him. Who was talking? And what was with mentioning Snowy? They were obviously not talking about the weather being snowy… Could it be the same Snowy that he knew? Could it be that Internet celebrity broadcaster from Binhai City also ran to the Forbidden City to do a live-broadcast?
It would not be so coincidental, right?
He gave a look to the elfins, signaling for them to be quiet and not to talk. After that, he brought them around a corner.
In front of them stood two young people around his age, a man and a woman. The man was wearing glasses, and the woman was hugging a cat in her arms. There was a Forbidden City employee pass hanging around both their necks.
Eh? Is the management of the Forbidden City really so relaxed? You could even bring a pet to work?
Zhang Zian was unsure of the situation and was still feeling puzzled when he saw the female worker scratch the face of the cat in her arms, clearly heartbroken. ”Snowy, Snowy, are you all right? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” she muttered.
F*ck! As soon as he thought that it could not be so coincidental, he found out that the cat in the woman's arms was also named ”Snowy!”
However, that Snowy was really quite fat… It was a black, white, and orange colored cat, and its weight seemed to be around 10 kilograms. It was probably that the genes of the orange tabby cat were dominant in its body…
In The Classics of Cats Appreciation, it was mentioned that nine out of ten orange tabbies were male, and a calico cat was definitely not a male.
That meant that out of the orange tabbies that one came across, nine out of ten were male, and as long as a cat had three different colors on it, that meant that it was definitely a female cat.
So this Snowy is a fat girl.
The female worker seemed to really like the calico cat named Snowy and was so worried that she was about to cry.
The male worker saw that and tried to convince her. ”Wen Li, why don't you take an off day and bring Snowy to the veterinarian? Have the vet take a look… Hopefully it's nothing serious.”
”But… Work has just started. We've been quite short-handed, with quite a few people on maternity leave. It's probably not possible to take leave…” Wen Li said, looking troubled.
”Then what can we do? We can only wait and go after work.” The male worker sighed. ”Ah, we have so many stray cats in the Forbidden City. Honestly, we should hire a veterinarian…”
”How could we do that? The public will start to complain and ask whether we are here to work or keep cats…” Wen Li shook her head and smiled bitterly.
