Pet King 1319 Beyond Love at First Sigh

Before they graduated, besides the occasional photo taking, they had no experience in wearing high heels for a long period of time. Now that they were in the workplace, the first thing they did when they returned home was get rid of their high heels. Then they aggressively massaged the areas that were sore and stiff. Nevertheless, they still felt that the way Zhao Qi carried those high heels was way better than the way they did it.

Zhang Zian was quite puzzled. Why did the two girls have such hungry looks in their eyes?

"So, do the two of you want to buy any pets? If you haven't decided, you can look around again," he said.

"Uh…"

The two of them snapped out of their daze and remembered that they were here to buy a cat that they wanted. It was not to admire and learn from a senior like Zhao Qi.

However, there were too many cats here, and they were not kept in the display cabinet. The cats ran around them, and they were simply too distracted. They felt that all the cats were really cute.

Of course, besides Fina and Snowy Lionet, the next cat in line in terms of value was the ragdoll. Before they'd come here, they had already known that the ragdoll would be very expensive. Now that they knew the cat would grow to be very large and heavy, although they could not bear it, they nevertheless dispelled the idea of getting one.

As for other cats…

"What kind of cat did that lady own?" asked Zhou Jiena.

"She has a British Shorthair. This is it." Zhang Zian knew that a name was not concrete for them. He pointed to a short-haired kitten that had just run forward for them to see.

"It's very cute. It looks dignified and strong." Zhou Jiena laughed and pulled her friend over to see.

The head of the young cat was slightly longer, making it seem like it had a large head and a small body. With such a round head, it could sometimes seem awkward.

"The British Shorthair looks good." Wang Yan nodded her head.

What Zhao Qi had experienced with her cat had deeply touched them. Thus, they had a good impression of the species. In addition, the price was also within the range that they could afford.

"Shall we just get the British Shorthair?" Zhou Jiena asked Wang Yan.

Wang Yan was hesitant. It was not that she preferred other cats. It was just that to decide just like that…felt a little rushed. To her, it was simply like carelessly ticking a point on a to-do list.

Or, to put it another way, she was not entirely smitten with it. Of course, the British Shorthair was a really good choice.

Wang Yan didn't want to rush her. She had seen many experiences of so-called older women on the Internet. As they got older, they were forced to marry and simply settled for a man. They both got married for the sake of getting married. Thus, they had a weak foundation when it came to emotional support, and their marriage was rather bland.

She and Zhou Jiena were still young and, at least for now, could choose. They did not need to have an arranged marriage.

"Let's reconsider later?" she said.

"Okay." Zhou Jiena nodded and agreed. She then apologized to Zhang Zian. "Sorry, boss, we still want to see more."

"It doesn't matter. Just look around. If you can't make up your mind today, come again tomorrow," Zhang Zian said.

He didn't want them to rush into their decision either. If they did not get a cat that they were satisfied with, he would rather they hold their purchase. He did not want returns or for the girls to give the cat to someone else. Choosing a suitable pet required fate and love at first sight, much like how humans dated.

Perhaps before a person met that particular pet, they didn't know it existed. Neither would they know when they took it home. However, once their eyes met, they knew it was the one—much like how computer viruses went about searching for computers to infect.

"Or… Do you have any specific requirements? For example, you don't want a long-haired cat, you don't want a short-haired cat, or you like a quiet cat. A lively one, perhaps? You can bring them up, and I will find it for you," he suggested.

Although love at first sight was important, what decided if a marriage could happen depended on more than that. This was because love itself could not fill one's stomach.

Although rather unromantic, it was necessary to consider the material wealth of both parties. Both parties' parents giving their consent was best, although if not possible, they could only negotiate some form of compromise.

The same was true for cats. If one felt strongly attached to a cat but was unable to raise it properly as it was too expensive, burdensome, or time-consuming, or if someone had allergies to the pet or a natural genetic disease so that they could not have a pet… Alas, even if the person liked it, it was best to not get it. More likely than not, everyone would get hurt. It was better to put that love back into one's heart.

"This… If the cat is too expensive, we cannot afford it. We don't have any special requirements…"

They looked at each other and nodded.

The two of them teaming up to look after a cat was possible. They had an abundance of time and would not be unable to care for it. As long as it was not too expensive, they could raise it. They had no preference for long-haired or short-haired cats.

"Okay, then please do continue looking around."

Having no requirements ironically made it the hardest to choose, much like eating "anything."

Zhang Zian would've loved to help, but it was better for them to pick the pet themselves. In order not to pressure them, he sat on a lounge chair and played with his mobile phone. The staff were busy with their own things.

Zhou Jiena and Wang Yan whispered a little and walked from the front door to the back of the store. They looked attentively at every kitten they met, hoping to find the cat that made their hearts linger.

Although they kept reminding themselves that they couldn't afford a ragdoll, whenever they passed one, they could not help but look at it a little longer. Then they continued looking and had to rely on one another to pull each other away from it. If they didn't, the conclusion was that they would have to use all the credit that Jack Ma had given them, plus borrow money from friends. It was only June. At this rate, they would have to eat peanuts for the next half of the year.

As for the other cats, anything went. Each had a type they loved.

They had not seen pictures of some of the rare cats, such as the Abyssinian cats and the Siberian forest cats, online. Their reasoning told them that the less they had seen these cats, the more expensive they would be.

They couldn't afford to buy a ragdoll. It was also very difficult to buy these cats.

They looked around as they walked. Carefully, they walked past the seemingly scary and intimidating Famous and Zhan Tian. They came to the store's window.

They'd come at the right time. If fans of Famous knew that it had returned, the store would not be as quiet.

Zhou Jiena suddenly noticed that there was a kitten in the corner. It did not play with the other kittens. Instead, it sat alone on a small cat climbing frame by the window and looked out. Its temperament was different, somewhat melancholic.

She used her elbow to poke Wang Yan, gesturing her to look at this kitten.

At this time, the kitten seemed to have heard their footsteps. It looked back at them. Suddenly, it burst into tears.
