bit impatient. After getting out of the taxi, he had been covering the bird cage with his jacket, and he only wore a woolen sweater. Luckily, it was in the middle of the day, and the sun was quite strong, so he didn't feel cold. But the red-headed lovebirds were tropical birds, so he was afraid that they might catch a cold.
"You're right." Zhang Zian nodded and said to Snowy Lionet, "If you want to play, we can come back after we finish our business."
"Pfft." Snowy Lionet pursed its lips and took back its claws. It seemed that it had agreed.
"How long you will be shooting here?" Zhang Zian asked the tall guy.
"Well..." The tall guy looked at him and Snowy Lionet. "We are going to have lunch now, but we might spend the whole afternoon here, and then after we finish shooting, we will go to the KTV tonight."
"Okay. We need to get along and run some errands. After we finish our business, if you're still here, I can cooperate with you to take some photos." Zhang Zian pointed to Snowy Lionet and said, "But this cat only." Then he pointed to Fina and said, "Not that one."
"Why?" The tall guy was not satisfied with Zhang Zian’s arrangement. "But we’d prefer that one. That cat seems more obedient, unlike this white cat, who looks so fierce..."
"Are you blind?" Zhang Zian couldn't help but complain. "You think that cat is obedient?"
"Isn't it?" The tall guy was confused.
In the schoolboy's eyes, the golden cat was much more obedient than the fierce-looking white cat.
After Fina got out from the taxi, it didn't pay attention to the conversation between Zhang Zian and the tall guy. She just wandered leisurely above the gold, fallen leaves on the ground, and enjoyed the autumn wind when it blew through her golden fur. Fina raised her claw, and caught the leaf of a phoenix tree that had flown in front of her face. She did what Zhang Zian did before: she raised the leaf above her head, and narrowed her eyes to observe the leaf against the sun. It was Fina’s very elegant and dignified temperament that had attracted the attention of the members of the photography club and the cosplayers.
Zhang Zian understood that Fina's performance could create confusion to people who saw her for the first time. But, undoubtedly, that perfect image would collapse if they intended to get closer to Fina. From a distance, people would feel that Fina was just so perfect, with her color, size, temperament, and manners... Even her lazy movements and habit of narrowing her eyes to observe people were fascinating. However, if people wanted to approach her, play with her, or comb her fur like combing the fur of an ordinary cat…that would be a mission impossible.
Counting on Fina to stoop to cooperate with their photoshoot was just like hoping the sun would rise from the west.
Xiao Yan once commented that Fina was an arrogant and fragile cat. Nonsense! Fina was pure arrogance, never a fragile cat.
Zhang Zian was complaining inside his heart, but he didn't dare to say these things in front of Fina’s face.
"Yes, yes, it is kind of an obedient cat," Zhang Zian consented with the tall guy reluctantly, "but it doesn’t like being on intimate terms with humans. If you really want to shoot photos, I can let you take photos of this white cat... final offer."
The tall guy felt Zhang Zian’s pity, but he didn't want to give up. "Can you let me try taking photos with the golden cat?"
"No way; don't even think about it." Zhang Zian declined him for the sake of the boy's safety.
"Okay, I guess it would be nice to shoot photos with this white cat. I think it would look quite pretty." The tall guy had to accept what he got. "Add me on WeChat, and we will contact you after we finish lunch and come back... Don't slip away and not come back!"
"I won't," said Zhang Zian seriously. He took out his phone, and showed his QR code to the tall guy.
The tall schoolboy thought that Zhang Zian was going to add him as a friend, but after scanning the code, he found that it was a QR code for making payment.
"What is that supposed to mean?" he said in dismay.
Zhang Zian answered righteously, "Aren't you going to rent my cat? You pay RMB 200 for the rental fee of one afternoon, plus a fee for the right to portrait. It's a great deal."
"What?" complained the tall schoolboy. "I have to pay a fee for the right to portrait? I'm shooting photos for your cat, not you."
"Take it or leave it." Zhang Zian pretended like he was leaving.
"... 100 Yuan," bargained the schoolboy.
"150."
"Deal."
They both got what they wanted. It was a win-win!
