Chapter 22:

On New Year's Day, the country is on holiday.
At the same time, it is also a good day for major merchants to engage in online and offline activities. When you open your phone, you can see various shopping apps crazy prompting various discounts. When you put down your phone and walk on the street, you can also hear many shops pulling up banners or opening. The speaker shouted various preferential activities.
Tang Xiaoya is an ordinary office worker who takes advantage of vacations to go shopping.
Nowadays, young people have great pressures in life and work, and many people have even lost their interest in socializing, let alone finding a relationship with the opposite sex.
Is the game not fun or the sleep is not fragrant enough, and my spare time is not enough, or must I waste it on others?
Tang Xiaoya, who does n’t want to continue to treat her hypocrisy in the workplace, said that she would rather go out and press the road to empty her mind, instead of trying to think about how to deal with the people around her.
"Buy two get one free? 30% off the whole audience? The whole audience is 50 yuan ... starting? Can you write the word" Qi "smaller?" Passing a store, Tang Xiaoya whispered while eating the egg in his hand Tucao, "There is no new idea, as long as the activities are carried out during the Chinese New Year, these routines have not been changed for so many years."
At this time a strong wind blew, Tang Xiaoya couldn't help but tremble.
"It's so cold! Sure enough, the winter sun is useless!" She complained casually. In fact, today's weather is very good, the sun is very warm on the body, but as long as the winter wind blows, it will not be comfortable .
At this time, she kind of wanted to buy a cup of hot drink, not limited to milk tea or coffee, in short, it can be warmed by drinking into the belly.
"It seems ... remember that there is a milk tea shop near here?" Wrapped his neck and chin in a scarf again. Tang Xiaoya followed the meager impression of looking for a shop. There was no way. I didn't come to this neighborhood for a few months. It ’s not easy to remember what stores are here.
After she actually found the specific location based on the familiar road signs in her memory, she discovered that the previous tea shop was gone, and replaced it ...
"Wow--!"
Unexpectedly, the young girl exclaimed in a sudden, her eyes had been completely attracted by a puppet cat standing on the European flower-shaped cabinet behind the shop window.
In the winter, the soft and warm sunlight shines through the clean glass window on the cat who is maintaining a sitting posture, and the soft and neat long hair of the cat is softly haloed. The pink nose is like sapphire The clear glass eyes are embedded in the head with a beautiful double V pattern. The big white scarf on the chest is particularly elegant and charming. If it is not the big swollen tail, it will be flicked from time to time. It ’s true Pretty like those fluffy dolls.
"What a beautiful puppet cat!" Tang Xiaoya has been unsightly on the window glass, staring at the kitten with two eyes glowing, even if the cabinet with the cat in it is still some distance away from the glass, it can't be blocked Her passion at this time, "Ah, so cute!"
It seems to be used to being watched by humans with such idiotic eyes. The puppet cat is not panicking, raising a claw and licking his hair. Through the thick floor-to-ceiling window glass, Tang Xiaoya could not hear the movement inside, but could see that the little puppet meowed to the side while licking the hair.
She subconsciously looked down the puppet cat's line of sight, only to notice that she was staring at the right half of a shop window, there was also a cabinet shelf on the left half, and it was a heart-shaped cabinet shelf of the same style.
This shelf is more luxurious, with a large peach-shaped outline, with six black cats resting on it, one sitting on the concave tip above the heart, and two sitting on the curved profiles on the left and right sides, and the lower heart tip. Sitting one.
The cabinet frame is very cleverly designed. The four black cats sitting on the left and right sides just follow the outline of the shelf and stick the four hanging tails on it, which just happens to form a complete heart shape.
If the flower-shaped puppet cat stand on the right makes Tang Xiaoya heartily shout beautiful and cute, the black cat heart made by six black cats on the left surprises her.
These kittens are too obedient and obedient, especially these black cats. Although Tang Xiaoya also likes small animals, she has no feelings for black cats. She once scared her when she met her at night once in memory. But when I saw them in the window today, I accidentally discovered that the black cat was more elegant and beautiful than she thought.
Especially now, the glossy black fur under the sun is shining with a faint golden glow, which looks particularly advanced.
Tang Xiaoya froze for a moment, then stepped back a distance and looked back at the shop's signboard—a fairytale-colored
cat tea house
plaque hanging above the glass door on the left side of the window.
"Cat cafe ..." she murmured.
Then he stepped forward without hesitation, pushed open the glass door and walked in.
When stepping into the store door, Tang Xiaoya heard the cats crying, like the black cat and puppet in the window room communicating with each other. If she could understand cat language, she would know that she had heard it correctly.
Puppet: "Mi Woo ..." (Mum was right, and another human being was attracted by my beauty.)
Little black cats: "Meow meow meow!" (There are also many humans who are attracted to us!)
Puppet: "Meow!" (Mom said I'm the best!)
Little black cats: "Meow meow!" (Lan Lan said we are super cute now!)
The black cat mother who put the finale on the heart of the heart: "Miao Ao Woo--" (Don't be noisy, Lan Lan has told us that we should be a group of kanban meos today, dare to mess up and don't blame me for beating you!)
In an instant, the lively window area ceased, and the Kanban cats continued to do their due diligence. Lan Lan emphasized with them whether there will be a lot of canned cats coming to take the initiative to watch today.
Tang Xiaoya was totally unaware of these meows, she just walked in with excitement, her eyes were still staring at the window area, where a special exhibition area was isolated by the glass wall, non-clerk could not enter, so she could see several Guests who were also drawn in looked at the cat on the glass wall in the shop.
It was still morning, and it was not surprising that there were not many people in this shop.
"Welcome to the Cat Tea House!" A hello rang out in the ear, and a pretty girl wearing an apron bearing the shop name stood at the door and received her with a smile.
... I do n’t know if it ’s a clerk or a boss. It ’s so young and cute, it should be a clerk. Without any responsibility to guess randomly, the shop assistant continued to tell her.
"Guest, if you want to relax in this store, please come here to clean your hands and disinfect."
Tang Xiaoya followed her hand and saw a separate hand-washing station separated by a glass wall on the left side of the door. It can be used for hand washing and disinfection without worrying about spilling water into the store.
To go to the cat cafe, it is necessary to perform simple disinfection. Tang Xiaoya, who has played in several stores, knows this rule and enters it in a very coordinated way to disinfect it. After he came out, he looked around and said: "No shoe cover for me?"
"The shoe covers are here." Seeing her cooperate so well, the clerk girl smiled more intimately, pointing to the ground next to the compartment, where a shoe film machine was placed, "Put your foot on it, there will be The shoe film automatically covers the sole. "
This shoe machine Tang Xiaoya had seen it on a treasure. At that time, he was thinking about buying one online, but after spending the urge to calm down, he found that he could not entertain guests at home for a few times. .
I didn't expect to experience it once in a cat cafe.
The entrance process soon ended, and Tang Xiaoya began to move freely. She looked around the decoration and furnishings of this new store. The first feeling she came in was that the entire store was very bright and warm. The style with light yellow and tender green as the main color was very impressive. Relax.
The front and back walls of the store use glass walls, which look brighter and wider at the same time. The spacious hospitality area is equipped with several tables and chairs of different styles. There are cloth sofas and long tables against the wall. , Or side tables and high stools built against the wall, in the middle are cushions and low tables that sit cross-legged, or spherical lazy chairs that can be crushed into any shape, even against the glass wall of the back door A bed-sized cushion is also placed, and guests in need can lie directly on top and enjoy the leisure time where people and cats live together.
On the clean floor, cats walked by from time to time, Tang Xiaoya secretly recognized, found that walking are all very good-looking pet cats, the blue cat Siamese Man Kikang is very beautiful, she even saw a golden red Abisi Niah was teased in the arms of another guest, who was feeding it a canned cat, a face of the old father's doting.
Although the expression Tang Xiaoya was disgusted, it was not incomprehensible.
Perhaps because of the new opening, there is not much of the unpleasant smell that she always smells when she goes to the cat cafe because of too many cats. On the contrary, it has a pleasant aroma of milk tea.
Tang Xiaoya was reminded by this fragrance, remembering his original desire to just order a cup of milk tea.
Sitting directly next to the cushioned table and chairs, she took a look at the small standing sign on the table. Not only did she sell all kinds of tea and pastries, but also canned cats in various colors, she even wrote that she could be fostered or Service items for keeping pet cats.
The price is generally not expensive, at least it is a level that is acceptable to ordinary office workers, and she puts her final thoughts down. Tang Xiaoya ordered a refreshment package of 40 yuan according to her own wishes: "Please give me this. "
After that, I swiped decisively on the payment QR code printed on the stand and paid directly.
The refreshments in the cat cafe are actually average, and Tang Xiaoya didn't have much hope. As long as he can have a hot drink, the rest is to find a cute kitten and hug her arms ...
The afterglow of the corner of my eyes swept to the mattress I saw before, when I lay down a beautiful, slender, domineering creature on it.
It was a beautiful big cat with silver-gray tiger stripes and a length of more than one meter. The golden vertical pupil squinted lazily. The white scarf under the neck was so beautiful that it didn't lose the previous puppet. The fluffy big tail had rhythm. One by one. Winter is the time for cats to burst their hair, which is the moment when the value of the cat is at its peak. This is especially true of this cat. Tang Xiaoya even feels that there is a tyrannical spirit that is constantly emanating from this cat.
Tang Xiaoya's eyes widened in an instant, and she tremblely pointed to the past: "Maine, Maine cat? There is Maine in your store!" Rumors of domineering appearance are cold, but in fact, the temper is super good!
"Yes, guest." The accompanying clerk replied with a smile. "This is the biggest cat in our store. The name is Mercury. It's not just Maine, there are other little cute,"
Tang Xiaoya had no control over the words "the tea is coming soon, guests wait a moment" behind the clerk. She opened her mouth and glared her eyes. The person had unconsciously stood up, and when she lifted her lushan claws, she would face the silver gray The big cat pounced.
... and was evaded directly by the big cat.
Tang Xiaoya's body was out of balance. The whole person was lying on the empty mattress, and even bounced twice. When he got up quickly, he saw that the maine cat that had been hiding had jumped on the wall. The cat climbed up and looked at it from the top.
"Meow." (Human, trying to touch me, no way.)
The Maine Cat Mercury sneered and disdained itself, completely ruined the image of Fang Cai's domineering gaze after its voice was exposed, and it saw the humans underneath more excited.
"Ah, the Maine cat is really domineering and cute!" The girl was so excited with her hands holding her face, "Mercury, I must touch you!"
At this moment, although the language of human cats has never been common, Mercury has judged the correct meaning from her eyes and tone. The big cat continued to meow with disdain, flicked his tail, and continued to step on the cat's climbing frame and ran away.
Tang Xiaoya chased the figure of Maine and found the mystery on the wall-the four walls were all equipped with cat climbing frames. They are in all directions, which does not affect the movement of the people underneath, but also allows the cat to have a lot of activities. Space travels freely. The convenience of being able to observe one's own site at any time from a height will give the cat a great sense of security and comfort.
Oh, there may be a hidden effect-so that cats who do not want to be dumped can avoid human salty pig hands at any time.
Do not! She will not give up!
Even though half of the blood vessels were critically blown away because of being rejected by Maine, Tang Xiaoya clenched the remaining 50% of HP and said that she would never admit defeat, and must get the cat!
Kanban cats are very powerful, so many guests were attracted on the first morning of New Year's Day. In the past, I was afraid of disturbing that the cats did n’t dare to do any customary rituals such as firecrackers. I thought that the people who were familiar with the surroundings, such as the young tenants who were just idle, also came to help parents and Cheng Fengyang. The situation is better than Lin Lan imagined, there are still many strangers.
The cats in the store are very popular, and they are basically quickly divided by the guests. Some of them are pretty and even eat more. For example, that Jinjira ...
"Mew meow! ... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... Miaohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! (; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \ Do n’t send it! ...... What are you doing with that minion over there, you are not allowed to empathize and do n’t give me the canned food to the dachshund cat!)
It's sweet like a coquettish voice, who can think that the true meaning of the translation is so stinky. Looking at the three strong men holding cans, they were scolded by them while feeding them, and their faces were still "it's so cute, it's spoiling me", and felt like they wanted it or not Lin Lan went down with no expression on his face and continued to walk forward with the freshly prepared refreshment.
Speaking of all the kittens in the store, not all cats are willing to cooperate with her in this way, so they can use the cuteness to make themselves canned or cat food.
For example, the maine who hasn't let any guest get on his hands until now. Sure enough, some tricks are needed to make it honest and obedient ...
"Boss, give me one ... no, three cans!" When she was holding refreshments to the new female guest, she heard the girl shouting at her in a fierce manner.
Tang Xiaoya remembered that the Maine cat was said to be very edible. One canned food was definitely not enough. She did n’t believe that the three cats could n’t attract the big cat!
Lin Lan: "..."
It turned out that I almost forgot that the cat had another trick besides selling cuteness.
With an implied glance at the Maine still on the cat ’s climbing frame, Lin Lan thought it would be nice to keep the big cat like this, turning his head again and being a friendly business-level smile: "Good guest, I will immediately Here you are. "
Big Cat Mercury is now dumbfounded.
"Come down, cat!" The woman underneath shouted at it with a can, "I'll feed you delicious food when you come down!"
why?
"Enough enough? Enough enough, these are for you!"
It has deliberately behaved so coldly, not docile and not loved anymore, why are these humans more entangled in it than before!
