Actually, it was not shocking that the elfin-like thing ran into the restricted areas. After all, two-thirds of the Forbidden City was not open to ordinary tourists, so the possibility that it would enter that area was high.
If it really ran into the restricted area, Zhang Zian could only completely give up on capturing it––or he could try to apply for a temporary job in the Forbidden City.
However, the jobs that the Forbidden City were hiring for probably had nothing to do with him, right? Whether it was his university major or his work experience, it seemed that it would not be useful in the Forbidden City.
He could not chase it, but the elfins could… What was the use of catching up, though? The most they could do was see what kind of elfin it was.

…Snowy…
Zhang Zian was feeling troubled when he suddenly heard people talking next to him; they had mentioned Snowy’s name.


The voices had floated over from behind a wall, and so he could not hear them very clearly. The person was speaking very fast and very anxiously.
That was strange… The whole way there, he had not seen any tourists run in front of him. Who was talking? And what was with mentioning Snowy? They were obviously not talking about the weather being snowy… Could it be the same Snowy that he knew? Could it be that Internet celebrity broadcaster from Binhai City also ran to the Forbidden City to do a live-broadcast?
It would not be so coincidental, right?
He gave a look to the elfins, signaling for them to be quiet and not to talk. After that, he brought them around a corner.
In front of them stood two young people around his age, a man and a woman. The man was wearing glasses, and the woman was hugging a cat in her arms. There was a Forbidden City employee pass hanging around both their necks.
Eh? Is the management of the Forbidden City really so relaxed? You could even bring a pet to work?
Zhang Zian was unsure of the situation and was still feeling puzzled when he saw the female worker scratch the face of the cat in her arms, clearly heartbroken.
Snowy, Snowy, are you all right? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?
she muttered.
Fck! As soon as he thought that it could not be so coincidental, he found out that the cat in the woman’s arms was also named
Snowy!

However, that Snowy was really quite fat… It was a black, white, and orange colored cat, and its weight seemed to be around 10 kilograms. It was probably that the genes of the orange tabby cat were dominant in its body…
In The Classics of Cats Appreciation, it was mentioned that nine out of ten orange tabbies were male, and a calico cat was definitely not a male.


That meant that out of the orange tabbies that one came across, nine out of ten were male, and as long as a cat had three different colors on it, that meant that it was definitely a female cat.
So this Snowy is a fat girl.
The female worker seemed to really like the calico cat named Snowy and was so worried that she was about to cry.
The male worker saw that and tried to convince her.
Wen Li, why don’t you take an off day and bring Snowy to the veterinarian? Have the vet take a look… Hopefully it’s nothing serious.


But… Work has just started. We’ve been quite short-handed, with quite a few people on maternity leave. It’s probably not possible to take leave…
Wen Li said, looking troubled.

Then what can we do? We can only wait and go after work.
The male worker sighed.
Ah, we have so many stray cats in the Forbidden City. Honestly, we should hire a veterinarian…


How could we do that? The public will start to complain and ask whether we are here to work or keep cats…
Wen Li shook her head and smiled bitterly.
At that moment, they saw Zhang Zian. He was in a normal, open area, and so they did not do anything. They thought that he was just an ordinary tourist.
Zhang Zian slowly walked closer, taking a glance at the calico cat. He gave a dry cough as he tried to strike up a conversation.
This cat is really quite fat. It needs to lose weight, otherwise it is not good for its health.
He was too embarrassed to say that he had eavesdropped on their conversation, so he could only use that excuse to try to start a conversation.
The two workers only smiled politely. They turned to leave with the cat.


In his urgency, Zhang Zian could only say,
Ah, I see that the cat doesn’t seem to be in a very good state. Is it sick?

The two workers stopped, then glanced at each other with a complicated look in their eyes.

May I ask… Are you a veterinarian?
Wen Li asked, full of anticipation.

I’m not a veterinarian, but I have some basic knowledge about pet illnesses because I own a pet shop.
Zhang Zian maintained his composure and introduced himself. He took out his phone and searched on the Internet for articles concerning himself for them look over.
Ever since Famous had won the Best Actor prize at the Berlin Film Festival, there were many reports online about Zhang Zian and Famous. He just needed to randomly do a search and he could readily pull them up. There were words, pictures, and even videos.

Yah! You’re the owner of the dog that won the Best Actor award?
Wen Li called out, pleasantly surprised.
No wonder I thought you looked slightly familiar!

The male worker was worked up.
Where’s Lightning? Wait, its real name is Famous, right? Could I possibly have its autograph…? Late last night, I went with my colleagues to watch the first screening of Dog Warrior. Its acting was amazing! My friends and I have all become fans!


The Forbidden City does not allow me to bring pets in, so Famous remained in the hotel room and I came to take a walk by myself,
Zhang Zian smiled and answered. Famous was actually sitting just a few steps away, but it was a pity that they could not see it.
Famous heard them describe their love for his movie, and he was very happy in his heart.
The male employee felt that it was such a pity that Famous was not there, but he could not do anything about it. After all, it was a rule in the Forbidden City. He told Wen Li,
I invited you to follow us to watch the first screening yesterday and you didn’t want to go!



Wen Li felt very regretful.
I was a bit tired last night and wanted to go back home early to sleep. Who knew that I would be able to meet the Best Actor dog’s owner?!


Right, since he owns a pet shop and is so famous, he might know what kind of illness Snowy has,
the male worker reminded her.
Wen Li was suddenly awoken from a dream. She had been carrying the fat Snowy until her arms were aching and she was not able to carry it for much longer. She hurriedly told Zhang Zian,
Can I ask you to help us take a look? What kind of illness does this cat have?

They thought that since Zhang Zian could see that the cat was in a bad state with one casual look, there was an 80 percent chance that he was better than a certified veterinarian. They definitely did not want to miss the opportunity to ask him.
Zhang Zian got her to put the cat down. He pretentiously observed it for a bit and asked,
Besides its bad state, what else is abnormal about it?

The two workers pointed at the calico cat’s eyes at the same time.
Look, its eyes have blood stains at the side! Those did not exist when we got off work last night,
the said simultaneously.
Wen Li added in a worried tone,
There are quite a lot of stray cats in the Forbidden City, and there are also some other small animals that treat this place as their home. I’m worried that it fought with another cat or another small animal and injured its eyes…

Zhang Zian’s eyes settled on the cat and he took a look. The fur at the sides of the cat’s eyes was indeed a reddish-brown color.
It seemed to have smelled Fina’s scent. It behaved itself and let Zhang Zian check it, not daring to move at all. The scene was noticed by the two employees, but they did not know it was because of Fina. It made them feel even more admiration for Zhang Zian. Snowy’s temper had always been quite bad––it did not like interacting with strangers––but it was actually behaving itself under Zhang Zian’s hand, proving that he person had an extraordinary calling…
