Chapter 101: A Rainy Day

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhang Zian remembered when he first met Fina in Long Feng Jewelry Store. Her eyes lit up when she saw the diamond rings. As soon as Zhang Zian left the store, she pushed to take a diamond. Compared to Fina, this benevolent and righteous cat was like a real gentleman. One cat loved money and the other was fond of tea. No wonder one was more difficult to keep…

Hidden Fog Teahouse had taller chairs with high backs. He was worried that the benevolent and righteous cat would not be able to jump up. When cats get old, their muscles start to get weak, so they cannot jump as high as before. Sometimes, a cat cannot even jump up to its favorite cat tree. Old cats normally have a very high self-esteem and are sensitive. If their master put them on the cat tree, they may not like it. The best way to handle this is to put a stool next to the cat tree so it can jump up on its own.

Honestly, Zhang Zian worried too much. He didn’t even see how she jumped. He only saw a shadow quickly flash over before she was already sitting on the table.

Her bamboo hat was still there. It looked like she was looking at the three cups of tea in front of her.

The female owner and the waitress were chatting behind the counter.

"Sister Ye, do you think any store up here has a cat?" Anxin said with her hand under her chin.

Sister Ye was the female owner’s name. She tilted her head to look at Anxin. "I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cat…did you run into one?"

Anxin shook her head and said, "Not really. I found a few hairs that looked like cat hair when I mopped this morning."

"Maybe it could be dog hair?" Sister Ye asked.

"I don’t think I have ever seen dogs up here either," Anxin said.

Sister Ye thought for a second. "It might be from some customer who has a pet at home. They might have brought up the hair."

"That could be possible," Anxin agreed to this thought.

After a few seconds, Anxin spoke again. "Sister Ye, why don’t we have a cat or a dog up here? We are the only ones in this teahouse, and it is not very busy up here."

Sister Ye smiled. "What is the point of opening a teahouse up here? Because it is quiet! If you want to have a busy teahouse, we should’ve picked a place like downtown. Don’t tell me you can’t take the quietness anymore."

Anxin stopped her. "That’s not the same! Pets are so much cuter than humans. I don’t like too many people, but I love all pets!"

Sister Ye agreed. "Maybe you are right. What kind of pet are you thinking about? Do you want to keep a snake?"

Anxin was scared by the thought of having a snake in the store. "Sister Ye, please don’t joke around like that. I hate snakes!!!!!"

Sister Ye laughed. "I thought you had to like snakes because that was your zodiac animal."

"Oh no! Sister Ye! Zodiac animals have nothing to do with someone’s preference. Does someone have to like a rat if his or her animal was a mouse?"

"Didn’t you use to like mice?"

"But that’s different than a rat!"

"They look alike!"

Anxin almost went crazy, "Sister Ye. you are such a badass!"

"Ha-ha!"

The benevolent and righteous cat smelled the tea, reached out her front paw, and dabbed it in the first cup of tea. That one was perfect for drinking at this point.

Zhang Zian picked up his first cup as well.

"Please," he said before he raised up the cup and drank the tea. He was hoping he had correctly guessed what the benevolent and righteous cat liked.

That cup of tea was worth one third of the whole value of the pot – 1888 Yuan. He should’ve slowly enjoyed it. Chucking it down so quickly was completely a waste. At the moment, he really wasn’t in the mood to slowly enjoy the tea, nor was he interested in the teapots. All he wanted to see was the cat’s reaction.

She bent down to reach the tea. However,before her lips could reach the rim of the teacup, her bamboo hat fell on the table.

She stood up straight and realized that if she kept the hat, she could not keep her elegance while drinking tea.

Take it off…take it off…take it off…Zhang Zian said in his heart, just like he would if he wanted to see some pretty girl take off her shirt in a pornography…

The cat did what she wanted to do. She didn’t take off the bamboo hat, but instead pushed it on her back. So now, she was carrying the hat instead of wearing it.

The hair on top of her head was a bit thinner due to wearing the hat all the time. The hair was pressed down. She was a bit chubby in general with a round face. Her eyes were peaceful and a copper color. She looked like she was older.

She once again bowed down to taste the tea. She closed her eyes and slowly tasted the tea after one small sip. And then she took another sip, and another… when she drank tea, she looked more human than Zhang Zian.

Zhang Zian slide his finger to the "capture" button, but he stopped. He knew that as soon as he pressed that button, she would be saved in his cell phone and could not taste the rest of the tea. He could not do that to her.

He picked up the second tea and said, "Please." He drank it down quickly.

Although not a tea expert, he could tell that the second cup, which was the third brew, still tasted the same as the previous one. It was, in fact, great quality tea!

She, on the other hand, looked like she was tasting something different. One small sip after another. Her beard lightly shook as if she could taste something different.

After she finished the second cup, Zhang Zian waited for a second, then picked up the third cup and said, "Please."

This tea was exquisite! Even though it was the third cup, which was the fourth brew, the taste and aroma remained the same. In ancient China, good tea was determined as having the "same taste in the 7th brew."

She drank the third cup bottoms up, just the way Zhang Zian drank his tea. She kept the tea in her mouth for a bit and then swallowed it.

After drinking all three cups of tea, her hair softened. She looked delighted. She put her two front paws together to thank Zhang Zian.

Zhang Zian felt so touched. What a polite cat! Compared to Fina, that arrogant b*tch, this cat was like an angel.

As soon as she finished thanking him and got ready to put her bamboo hat back one, Zhang Zian pressed the "capture" button.

The benevolent and righteous cat disappeared.

[Game Tip]: Captured! The benevolent and righteous cat!

He relaxed, knowing that today’s trip was fruitful.

Snowy finished talking to her fans. She turned around and was shocked. "Oh! Mr. Manager. Did you drink all six cups of tea? That was quick!"

Zhang Zian said, "Ha-ha… that’s nothing." Compared to capturing rare pets, drinking six cups of tea was a piece of cake.

The fans just hated Zhang Zian’s arrogant face.

"Mr. Sexual Manager kept holding up his cell phone ever since he came in. How many selfies did he take? Oh no! He must be secretly taking pictures of the female owner!"

"Could be! So disgusting!"

"Holy sh*t! I don’t know if the cops will come up the hill! I am calling the police for them!"

Zhang Zian was happy that he got the cat. He stood up and was about to leave. "I have to go back to the store."

Snowy looked at her cell phone and said, "It is quite late. I will go too."

"Please stay a bit longer," Sister Ye said as she walked down elegantly. "It is raining out."
