The weather was good, and the sun was shining warmly, coaxing sleep into people's minds.

Vladimir and Whitey lay down on the wall inconspicuously. Even if people did notice their presence, they would only think of them as sunbathing cats.

Whitey could see that Vladimir wasn't very alert and signed to it, telling it that it should call other strays to come take over the surveillance of this area so that Vladimir could go back to sleep.

Vladimir shook its head. ”I've already come all the way here, so it would be a waste to go back with nothing to show for it,” it said. ”Besides, the other cats are tired too. Everyone's equal in the liberation. I can't give myself special privileges either. They should rest well. If you're tired, you can go back to rest too.”

Whitey showed that it wasn't tired and was willing to stay.

Vladimir hadn't seen it with its own eyes and had only heard in passing that when Zhang Zian first took over the pet shop, his business was so bad that not even a handful of people had stepped into his store at the start. Making sales had been impossible.

But in the half-hour that it had been here observing, this shop named ”Back to the Old Days” had been horrifyingly quiet. Not a single customer had stepped in, not even out of curiosity.

Its patience was running out. Wasting time was the same as frittering away one's life, and it decided not to just lie passively in wait and instead try to make something happen.

Just as it was making plans, its ear twitched, picking up the crisp clacking of high heels. It was still far away, and humans might not have been able to hear it clearly, but cats had far superior hearing.

It turned to look and spotted two young women making their way down the alley.

Just like most fashionable young women, their hands were filled with bags, some of them from brand-name shops. They looked like they had just finished a shopping trip, and were seemingly unsatisfied even though they could hardly have carried more bags.

The most important thing, though, was that Vladimir had seen one of them before, just in the area that Zhang Zian had brought it. The woman just screamed petite bourgeoisie. Her name, if it recalled correctly, was something like…Zhao Qi?Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.

As for the lady next to her, she seemed pretty close to Zhao Qi, most likely her friend.

They were chatting away as though there was no one around them, discussing the happenings of their shopping trip today—where they'd gotten a great deal on a pair of shoes, which shop had a new dress that was way too expensive, one they could only buy next month, since the weather hadn't really turned warm anyway.

The alley was pretty peaceful, but their presence had ruined it.

Their topics changed by the second. They chatted about clothing accessories, about hair salons, about restaurants, their topics seemingly never-ending as they neared.

Vladimir usually didn't like these petite bourgeoisie ladies. There was not a single bone of humility or work ethic in them. But they were here at the right time, so it could try getting them to enter the shop.

It got Whitey to stay in place, waiting for Zhao Qi to walk closer before suddenly jumping off the wall and dashing in front of Zhao Qi.

Ever since Shi Shi had gotten into a relationship, Zhao Qi hadn't gone out shopping with her for a long time. She'd definitely teased her a lot about prioritizing her partner over her friend, and with such a rare occasion to be able to relive the good old days, they definitely had to go out and have fun.

”Ah! A cat!”

Shi Shi saw Vladimir first and pointed at it so Zhao Qi would see too.

Zhao Qi stopped talking, giving it a glance. She lowered her sunglasses and took a closer look. This cat seemed a little familiar…

Where had she seen it before?

She couldn't recall right then, but when she noticed the look of unbridled disgust in the blue cat's eyes, her heart was yet again pierced sharply!
