“Old Time Tea, can I give you a little bit more hot water?” Zhang Zian held a water pot, pouring hot water into Old Time Tea’s cup.

“Thank you.” Old Time Tea gently smiled.

“My pleasure. Please be careful not to get burned.” Zhang Zian went upstairs, holding the water pot. Based on what Old Time Tea heard, Zhang Zian went back to the kitchen, putting the water pot back on the table with a “ding”.

Old Time Tea put its forepaw close to the cup, feeling the warm temperature from the hot water.

In the autumn afternoon, the sun was not strong, the wind soft and not depressed, and everything was calm and peaceful.

Old Time Tea narrowed its eyes, its pupils shining with a beautiful light.

Getting older made it like warm things.

The world was very warm and this young man was also very warm.

This was a bright and warm time. All the dark having been completely dispersed, at least this country was back on its feet – Old Time Tea thought so through the TV programs.

Although feeling a bit sad, Old Time Tea was more pleased at the same time.

A peaceful country and happy people — the world had the same mission. Was that a wishful goal a lot of people from all around the world sacrificed themselves to work towards?

In this wonderful world, what else could be asked for?

Sometimes, it would not be a bad thing if an hero had no place to use his skills.

Was it solved peacefully when there was a little argument in front of the store?

It must be a new era in this peaceful and prosperous country with happy, living people!

Old Time Tea thought to itself, “For the rest of my life, it would be very nice if I could just be like a normal cat, lying on this electronic carpet, drinking some hot tea and watching some TV.”

The only disappointment was that it could not leave the shop yet, otherwise it would like to go out, look around, walk in this strange world and experience this glorious era.

Old Time Tea loved this little shop.

Almost every person into the store was full of love, eager to replace himself a desirable partner. When they stared at the cats and the dogs in the store, their eyes would be wide open, and then burst into happiness – On TV, it was called hormones. Humans themselves could not detect it, but sensitive Old Time Tea could sniff them out easily.

Zhang Zian went back downstairs and saw no guests in the shop, then lay on the reclining chair and picked up a book called “Rare Pets Illustration” he bought online.

Old Time Tea liked this young man called “Zhang Zian”.

He was a principled person. He introduced the different pets to the customers, telling them their merits, never hiding their shortcomings, which sometimes made him lose some deals, but even when the next customer came, he would still do the same.

He was a benevolent person. He handed over dogs and cats to different customers, explained to them methods on how to take care of them, and even printed the instructions on paper and gave them to customers.

He was a dreamer. When there were no customers, he would lay on the reclining chair. While Queen Fina despised at him, he was still thinking of his little dream – to renovate this shop. He and Queen Fina counted the money, arguing about how much more money they should save to cover the renovation costs. He always smiled and said how they would renovate the place and where they should put stuff.

This was the time for everyone to dream!

This was the time for dreams to come true!

The way he treated Old Time Tea, the old lazy cat that only ate all the time, was no different from the way he treated Galaxy and Queen Fina, and was sometimes even more respectful and polite.

Old Time Tea had been filled with several inexplicable impulses and wanted to become more deeply related to this young man, but it forced itself to stop.

There was no need.

It told itself – no need!

This was a beautiful era in which the prince and the ordinary people would get the same treats and punishments.

On television, no matter how high level the official was, once a crime was committed, he would be announced to the public and have a trial, then sent to jail.

It should show its limited ability, otherwise it would only be laughed at by the public as a joke.

Let the past things pass like the wind.

“Master, in accordance with your orders, we recorded all IDs on the forum who called you ‘Sexual Harassment Manager’ and ‘Fraud Manager’.” Wang Qian and Li Kun ran in breathlessly.

“Well done!” Zhang Zian geared up, “How about the one that called me ‘Arrogant Manager’?”

“This…” Wang Qian and Li Kun looked at each other.

“I must have that one,” Zhang Zian said seriously.

“This is really not….” Wang Qian and Li Kun responded with crying faces.

Old Time Tea liked Zhang Zian’s friends.

Whether it was Sun Xiaomeng, who had harsh words but a soft heart, or that lovable Little Celery, or the vibrant and bubbly Xiao Xue, or this pair of clowns, they were all kind-hearted young people.

In this infinite bright light, there were some unpleasant black spots, though.

Old Time Tea felt some people’s maliciousness more than once, which was in hormones released in the same. Human beings could not detect this, but Old Time Tea knew easily. Queen Fina could also probably sniff this out, but it was too young and too arrogant, not to mention too inexperienced. For the understanding of the world, Queen Fina was not as thorough as Old Time Tea.

As for Galaxy… Old Time Tea tilted its head, and looked at that lucky cat, which was happily playing with the kittens.

Old Time Tea never knew what Galaxy was thinking. Galaxy seemed to have always been carefree, living a very happy day every day. But Old Time Tea felt that Galaxy’s eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything. Was it not aware of those who were malicious? Or why didn’t it tell Zhang Zian? Or… had Galaxy had mastered the trend of history, knowing who would not pose a threat to Zhang Zian? This was a possibility; after all, this was a new era of civilized law.

Those who were disguised as customers walked into the shop, and seemed to be looking at the pets, but looked at the store’s furnishings and layout secretly. There was a person who did not walk into the store, but observed the shop from far away for several days.

How could this be?

So in this great era, why didn’t those red-eyed bloodthirsty mice go extinct?

Old Time Tea did not understand, but it would rather be wrong.

Perhaps this was the “primary stage” Zhang Zian was talking about. Maybe it had to wait for another few years, and these unpleasant spots would disappear.

Old Time Tea hoped so, as it wanted this glorious age to be a never-fading dream.

If not…

If this time was not as good or as bright as it was portrayed on the TV…

If someone wanted to crush the store’s warmth…

Old Time Tea looked down at its cat claw, where there was a hidden blade that had not exploded for a hundred years.

The hero came late, but he still was a hero.
