Famous jumped over a tree. Under the moonlight, it could see the whole forest.
Some branches were shaking, caused by the escaping wolf packs.
It followed their smell to make sure no wolves went rogue, otherwise they could do a lot of harm to the people.
Famous finally landed on high ground when the wolves escaped the mountain.
It looked at the moon. The moon was so big, so round, and so close. It could even saw the surface of the moon.
"Aww!"
Its wild nature awoke and it howled at the moon to release its inner-self.
It had been in this world for a year now. It was mid-autumn again.
During the year, it never left the mountain. It ate in the mountain, slept in the mountain. Gradually, it felt less like a dog and more like a wolf. It howled to the moon so many times.
In the daytime, it practiced martial arts with Old Time Tea. At night, they took turns on patrol to help people, like the Chen family they saved today. Famous found them first and howled to Old Time Tea for help.
After having some fun, Famous returned.
When it got back to the house, the Chen family was already asleep. It could hear their breath. The food on the altar was almost finished.
Old Time Tea was waiting at the door when it asked "Did you get rid of them?"
"They're all gone." Famous was a bit tired.
"Thank you so much." Old Time Tea smiled and said, "There's some leftover beef, you can finish it."
"Nah, let the Chen family have it tomorrow. They need it more than I do." Famous didn't move, he knew that Old Time Tea didn't eat at all. If it could stand the hungry, so could Famous.
Old Time Tea sat on the sofa. Its original plan was to let the Chen family sleep on the sofa, but they were too afraid to sleep on it.
"Tell me about the pet shop again," Old Time Tea said, looking at the forest.
Famous was almost asleep. "I've already told you. There is nothing more to say, unless you want me to make things up."
"I really want to go and see that world," Old Time Tea said. "I still have 100 years to go. No, 99 years. When will this troubled time end?"
Famous kept silent.
Old Time Tea looked at Famous and said, "You said before the world we see now is not real, just a world built up in a memory, so why does it feel so real? The grass, the trees, the mountains, the water. I can see them, I can touch them, yet you told me that they are not real."
Famous shook its head. "I don't know why, but you don't need to think about it. These things are real, but unreal at the same time. It all happened and existed before, they live in your memories, including these people." It looked at the Chen family. Old Time Tea must have saved them once in the real world.
After a moment of silence, Old Time Tea suddenly said, "You will leave this place one day, right? Leave my memory world and return to the real world."
Famous felt something, so he looked at Old Time Tea, but it did not look back.
There was a sad atmosphere among them.
Famous could not imagine how Old Time Tea could live in the deep mountain alone for so many years. It must have been so lonely.
Then out of nowhere, he said, "No, I'm not leaving and you are not leaving."
Old Time Tea trembled a bit, looked at Famous and said, "Why? Don't you want to go back to your world? That world is peaceful and people are waiting for you".
"You misunderstood me, Old Time Tea. This is not your memory world, it is my memory world," Famous said with certainty.
Old Time Tea was confused.
It took a long time for Famous to understand as well.
"Indeed, this place was your memory world, originally. However, when we met each other at the pet shop, your memory was copied into mine. The real you, the real Old Time Tea was not affected. He could be drinking tea, teaching Zhang Zian right now. Everything that happened after we met, happened in my mind".
Famous pointed at its own head and smiled.
"I will never leave. As long as I want to, I could enter this world freely because this is my memory world. Why should I leave?"
Famous came to this conclusion after thinking a long time.
This world was built on Old Time Tea's memory, but Famous created everything that happened after.
The reason why it said all this was to assure Old Time Tea so that it would stop worrying. It wouldn't have to feel lonely because Famous was going to be here with it until the end of this world.
It didn't want to say all this because it was embarrassed.
In Famous' heart, there was a world for Famous and Galaxy and there was a world for Famous and Old Time Tea. There might be more worlds in the future.
Famous hadn't yet found a way to travel through these worlds, but it will one day. It still had plenty of time.
Until then, it build a real and unreal Amazing Fate Pet Shop based on its memory. In this world, people will live happily, and it will be a time of national peace where Old Time Tea had never lived before.
Famous could not tell whether Old Time Tea understood it or not. Old Time Tea stopped feeling sad and felt delighted again.
Old Time Tea got up from the sofa and walked outside. It howled at the moon.
The Chen family woke up because of the howling. They quickly went back to sleep after they saw Famous lying beside them. They were so tired after the traveling. Now that they weren't hungry anymore and finally had time to rest., they would leave for Xiangjiang tomorrow.
They only heard a sound of meowing, but to Famous, it was, "Today, I know who I am!"
