While Famous was lost in thought, it heard the rustling sound of the grass being trampled on. It looked up and found that the Dragon Li had turned around and was about to leave the mountaintop in the opposite direction. Famous jumped from the bush and said,
Old Time Tea, wait a minute!

The Dragon Li turned back in astonishment, revealing its sharp claws instantaneously and going into a defensive stance. It asked cautiously,
I’ve heard many people learn to bark, but I’ve never heard any animal speak the language of humans. What kind of demon are you?


Aren’t you talking like a human too? Did you know that you just cursed yourself in that sentence?
asked Famous helplessly.

What?
It was not until this moment that the Dragon Li realized that it was speaking the language of humans.
This … why?


Old Time Tea, forget about the trivialities.
Famous walked over.
Where are we?

The Dragon Li still had its guard up. It asked with puzzlement,
Do you know me?


Of course, we lied together on a windowsill not too long ago.
Famous waved its tail to bat the mosquitoes away. It urged Old Time Tea,
Let’s get out of here, the mosquitos have almost drained my blood. I wonder how you can even remember mosquitoes so clearly.


No, first, how do you know me?
The Dragon Li retreated a few steps. It really thought Famous was some kind of demon.
Famous sighed,
Long story. Can we go somewhere else? In addition, it’s really awkward when you don’t call yourself ‘old.'


Old? I’m in my prime, why would I want to make myself older?
The Dragon Li was more puzzled.
Famous had spent time with Galaxy in the black box. But unlike Galaxy, Old Time Tea was not that gullible, and Famous was not good at lying. After thinking for a moment, Famous decided to tell the truth in order to win Old Time Tea’s trust.

Old Time Tea, my name is Famous. I am not a demon. I’m from the future, and for some reason, I’ve entered a memory of yours. Do you understand?
Famous explained.

The future?
Old Time Tea’s whisker lifted upward.
Boy, do you think I’m ignorant?

Famous had never seen Old Time Tea so angry before, but it’s heard that Old Time Tea could be very intimidating. So, it quickly said,
No, Old Time Tea, listen to me. In the future, the peace and prosperity that you wish for has become true, to some extent. A war hasn’t broken out in many years.

Obviously, Famous made the right choice. It lowered its paws and stared at Famous suspiciously.
Is what you said true?


Of course.
Oh, how Famous wished it could have watched the news more frequently with Old Time Tea so that its words could be more convincing. Luckily, it was aware of some historical events.
This period of this country being divided up by warlords and foreign invaders will end in a few decades. When that time comes, the reunification of China will occur. Even Hong Kong, the place that person is heading, will become a part of this country again.


Nonsense. Do you have any evidence? If you don’t, then you leave me no choice!
Old Time Tea did not trust words easily.
Evidence…
Famous tried to think of something that could be used as evidence.

Yes. The white cat just now. You don’t know what type of cat that is, right?
Famous asked with confidence.

I don’t. Do you?
Old Time Tea asked.

I do because someone told you and me that the cat was a Chinese lop-eared cat, whose English name is Sumxu,
said Famous. It lowered its head and indicated Old Time Tea to look at its neck.
Look at this nameplate. It’s written with the name of the Amazing Fate Pet Shop, which is our home in the future.

Famous’ neck was tied with a black leather collar, almost like the color of its neck hair, so it was difficult to even tell there was a collar on its neck in the darkness. Zhang Zian explained to Famous that in compliance with the regulations of Binhai City, it must be tied with a collar and a leash when it went outside. Famous did not hate the feeling of wearing a collar so it wore the collar all the time except when shooting the movie.
There was a metal nameplate on the front of the collar, with Amazing Fate Pet Shop and Zhang Zian’s phone number written on it. This was because some of the staff on set still couldn’t tell the difference between the German Shepherds.
Famous did not expect the collar and nameplate to follow it into the memory, but it had been a great help. Otherwise, it really didn’t know how to gain Old Time Tea’s trust.
Old Time Tea gazed at the nameplate. After the Amazing Fate Pet Shop, there were two characters it couldn’t recognize, because they were simplified Chinese characters, rather than the traditional Chinese characters. With vigilance, it approached Famous and extended one of its paws, scratching the nameplate a few times.
To its surprise, the characters on the nameplate were not written in ink, because they did not smear under its paw. Since the surface of the nameplate was smooth, the characters were not inscripted either.

How were these characters put on the nameplate?
it asked curiously.
Zhang Zian had explained this to a customer. What was it? It took Famous a long time before it finally remembered,
They were carved by a laser!


Laser?

Old Time Tea seemed to believe Famous’ words since there was no need for Famous to go to all that trouble all for a lie.

Yes, laser. It is a magical technology of the future!
Famous seized the opportunity because it was the only evidence to prove that the technology that made this nameplate did not exist in this current era. Though the knowledge Old Time Tea possessed was limited to this era, it was not stupid. As long as it could think logically, it could be convinced.
Old Time Tea touched the nameplate with its paw, observing its front and back. The exquisite and fine nameplate was not made of copper or iron. It had never seen a material like this before.
Old Time Tea pondered for a while, retreated its paw and let its guard down.
So you really are from the future?


Absolutely.


How many years into the future?


Could you tell me what year we’re currently in?
Famous was trying to answer, but it realized it didn’t know what year they were in.

The year of Ding Si.
Old Time Tea replied.
Famous didn’t know what it was talking about.
Old Time Tea noticed the blank expression of Famous, so it said,
The sixth year of the Republic of China.

Famous was still confused.

The ninth year of Emperor Xuantong.
Old Time Tea said a reign title that it loathed deeply.
Famous still didn’t understand.
Old Time Tea pondered and replied with a gradually popularized saying from the West at the time,
1917.

Famous was stunned at first and then sighed. This couldn’t be a coincidence.

I’m from 100 years in the future,
it said.
