As he reached the shop entrance, Zhang Zian saw a dark shadow flash by the door from the inside, as if Richard flew away in a panic as soon as it saw him.
After entering the store, he took a quick glance at Lu Yiyun. She had a weird look on her face. She had shifty eyes and her head was bowed low, like she was trying to hide something.
He had too many things to think about, and didn't have the time to deal with her weird behavior. Maybe she was trying to decide whether or not to go back home for the Spring Festival.
Once inside, he fed the roasted meat to the hungry elfins, who were on the verge of an outrage.
Fina and Snowy Lionet couldn't wait any longer and immediately feasted on their meal. These two had barely moved all day, but somehow still had a huge appetite.
Old Time Tea's table manners were much more civilized. It took of its bamboo hat, wiped its paws with the wet wipes that Zhang Zian had gotten out, and slowly started eating.
Richard also fluttered its wings and asked for food. Zhang Zian fed it nuts and chopped vegetables. It babbled on about Billy as it ate. It looked like even food couldn't stop it from talking.
He took out his phone so he could talk to Sun Xiaomeng about keeping the cats in the diner. Old Time Tea swallowed a mouthful of roasted meat and asked, "Zian, did you buy anything for the festival? The prices will go up on everything the closer it gets to the Spring Festival."
"There's nothing I need to buy. It's better to buy fresh vegetables anyways, as needed. It's okay if it costs a little bit more." He smiled.
"Don't you need firecrackers and fireworks? I always feel like the festival spirit in Binhai City is disappointing. It's never festive here." Old Time Tea sadly spoke as it looked through the glass door.
This was the first Spring Festival the elfins had in the pet shop, including Old Time Tea. It was expected that the other elfins were less interested in the traditional Chinese New Year. But for Old Time Tea, who had a strong sense of tradition, it felt like it was missing out on the traditional festival experience.
Zhang Zian had also celebrated festive New Years in his childhood. But as fireworks were gradually being banned in major cities, and as people had a growing variety of entertainment activities in their lives, the traditional Spring Festival was getting less popular. Old Time Tea was not the only one that sensed the fading festivity levels. Zhang Zian and many others felt the same way.
But there was nothing they could do about it. This was the price of passing time and advancement.
Zhang Zian explained why firecrackers were banned, which was mostly because of the effects on air quality and injuries caused by fireworks.
Old Time Tea grunted "Oh
