"Oh! What a dense fog!"
Snowy drew the curtains open, saw the dense fog outside, and sighed . Her parents would certainly keep her inside because of so much fog . The weather had been bad this winter, with a lot of strong wind and rain . She had to cancel a few planned live broadcasts and disappoint the internet fans . Although this was not her fault, but rather the restriction of outdoor live broadcasts, and the fans were not blaming her, she still felt bad about it .
She laid flat on the bed in pajamas, and lifted Snowball, her Persian cat, out of boredom .
"Wow! Snowball, you are so heavy, and getting heavier . I can barely lift you!"
Shi Rong, Snowy's mother, was a full-time housewife and had nothing else to do at home . She liked cooking and was a good cook . Shi Rong was feeding Snowball with fancy food from expensive supermarkets . Snowball was fat with shiny coat, which was almost as shiny as Snowy Lionet in the Amazing Fate Pet Shop .
Snowball was twice the size as when it first arrived, weighing almost 5 kilos, making the arms tired after lifting it for a while .
It was very obedient and domicile, and never fought back no matter how Snowy played with it, just like a big warm fuzzy toy .
"Snowy, did you get up? Get downstairs for breakfast!"
Her mother called from downstairs .
"I'm up! Will go down in a moment!"
Snowy responded and put Snowball down . "Come, Snowball, let's go downstairs for breakfast . "
Snowball meowed and followed her downstairs .
Her father Jiang Tianda was taking a rare day off today, but was still wearing suit and shirt, ready to go out anytime . He already finished breakfast, and was reading the newspaper attentively, while sitting on the leather couch with his legs crossed .
A western-style breakfast was served today, with bread, fruits, salad, milk and orange juice on the table .
The mother was seated and spreading strawberry jam on Snowy's toast . Snowball's breakfast was also served in its own plate .
Snowy was eating her breakfast without much interest, thinking about what to do today . Poor families had few visitors even if they lived downtown, while rich families always had a lot of visitors even if they lived on a remote mountain . A rich family like the Jiang's usually had a lot of gift exchanges around the end of the year, and it was a headache to choose the gifts . Cheap gifts may make themselves look bad, while expensive gifts might bring trouble to the receiver . The parents were discussing this on and off . Snowy had no interest in such matters and was not listening . She was thinking about where to visit during the Spring Festival .
"Snowy?"
"Snowy?"
Her mother had to call her twice to get her attention . She looked at her mother, looking lost . "What's the matter?"
"Did you hear me when I talked to you?" Her mother frowned .
"I did . . . But then I forgot about it after you called me . Just repeat it!" Snowy was bold enough to defend herself .
Her mother didn't know what to do with her . She sighed and repeated her words . "Snowy, your Aunt Zhou and cousin Vivi are coming today . It's almost Spring Festival . I'll go to the hair salon with your Aunt Zhou . Are you coming with us?"
"No!" Snowy shook her head with resolution . "My hair is too short for a haircut . Why would I follow you to the hair salon? It's a waste of time!"
"Your hair is too short, like a tomboy . Most boys like girls with long hair . Wasn't there a popular Weibo posting about 'until your hair reaches your waist' . . . Even if yours doesn't reach your waist, it should at least cover your neck!" Her mother had been persuading her many times . "You want to save time by keeping your hair short . What do you do with your extra time anyway? Horsing around?"
Snowy picked up Snowball and covered her face with it . She grinned . "Why should I care if boys like it or not? Snowball has long hair . They should love it!"
Jiang Tianda complained with a loud grunt, and flipped the newspaper hard . Snowy pretended that she didn't hear anything .
"You damn girl! Can you talk nicely?"
Snowy's answer was annoying, but her mother was not surprised . Even if she knew her daughter wouldn't listen, she said it anyway . Maybe one day her daughter would suddenly change . Who knows?
"Fine if you don't want to go . But you have to stay home with your cousin Vivi . She finally made a trip . You young people can always find a common topic . " Her mother sighed and added, "I'm warning you one more time . You can't go anywhere today! It's foggy outside and the air quality is bad . "
"Erh! So boring!" Snowy put her head on the desk out of boredom .
Snowy was the only daughter, and Aunt Zhou was not her real aunt . But a big family like hers always had some cousins, aunts and relatively, and nobody knew where they came from . She had met cousin Vivi a few times, and remembered her as a gentle, well-educated, typical daughter of a high-class family . She would have been the ideal daughter to her mom . Maybe she brought Vivi here to be a good influence to Snowy . She really put some thought into this!
"Also, clean up your room soon . It's too messy . And fold up your bed cover . "
After the breakfast, Snowy took Snowball back to her room upstairs to stay away from her mother's nagging .
She looked outside the window, and the fog was not going away . She turned on the computer, then browsed the Weibo and forum aimlessly, not knowing what she was looking for . She was only killing time . It was almost Spring Festival, and even the news was boring, with nothing but festive messages . More importantly, no new stores would open before the Spring Festival . They usually opened after the holidays . Now she had no topic for her live broadcast business .
Ding Dong!
The doorbell rang at the gate downstairs .
Snowy listened, thinking it should be Aunt Zhou and cousin Vivi . She looked at her messy bedroom, and wanted to give up the cleaning . It was too late anyway, so just let it be . Her mother greeted another middle-aged woman in the guest room downstairs, with laughter from time to time . Snowy prayed in her mind . Go, just go . The hair salons are busy before the Spring Festival, and you'll have to wait there . . . After you are gone, I'll have a chance to sneak out!
Footsteps came from the stairs, and it was from more than one person . Snowy suddenly felt tense, and closed her laptop screen, thinking that her fear came true . The bedroom door was knocked on twice as a warning, then it was opened .
Her mother looked at the messy room and stared at her angrily . Then she faked a smile, and dragged a young girl inside . "Vivi, come on in . Do you remember your younger Cousin Snowy? She just got up and her room is so messy . . . Vivi, play with Snowy today . I'll go out with your mom later . "
Behind her mother, a young girl slightly older than Snowy came inside . She had long hair over the shoulders, wearing a warm-colored wool coat and chamois leather long boots . Her face looked gentle and nice, a typical cute sweet girl . Even Snowy liked her .
"Watch your steps, Aunt Shi . " Vivi spoke politely .
"You girls have fun and don't fight . " Mother stared at Snowy again as a warning, then closed the door for them with a smile, and left .
Snowy had only met Vivi a few times and didn't know her quite well . But she was an extrovert and sociable . She greeted warmly . "Hello! We haven't seen each other for just a few months, and Vivi, you are looking more beautiful . Your figure looks great! Come on, take a seat . My room is messy . Hope you don't mind . "
"Snowy, you are cuter and cuter . Aunt Shi is so blessed . "
Vivi smiled and took a few steps forward . She looked around the room, and found the only chair occupied by Snowy . She had to sit on the bed .
"Haha, let's stop flattering each other . It gives me goosebumps . . . Vivi, just sit on the bed . Make yourself at home . But I don't have much to play with here . I don't even have fuzzy toys or cushions . " Snowy smiled frankly . "But I can play video games with you, if you want . "
Vivi also realized that Snowy's room was very simple, without any small decorations and toys that most girls liked . She had a few game stations though . The room was big and empty .
She walked to the bedside, and lifted up the drooping bed cover which was almost touching the floor . She made some space to sit on, but found a white long hair cat under the bed cover . It swung its tail, stared at her and meowed, as if it was saying, "Why are you moving my cover?"
"Ah! It's a cat . "
Vivi was startled and yelled . She dropped the cover in her hands, and stepped backwards with pale face .
Snowy blinked, not knowing why she reacted so dramatically . Wasn't it just a cat? Shouldn't a girl love cats and pat them? Why was she reacting as if she had seen a rat or cockroach?
As a matter of fact, Snowy didn't understand why girls faint at the sight of rats and cockroaches . Her first reaction would be kicking them away or stomp them to death . No wonder her mother called her a tomboy . . .
Vivi stepped all the way to the door, and stopped after her back hit the door frame . She pointed at Snowball with shaky hands . "It's a cat . . . there's a cat here . . . "
"Right, it's a cat . Its name is Snowball . " Snowy introduced to Vivi . "It's a Persian cat . " She observed Vivi's expression, and asked curiously, "Don't you like cats, Vivi?"
"I . . . I do . " Vivi nodded reluctantly . Her face suggested otherwise .
Snowy held Snowball in her arms . "If you like cats, why are you hiding so far? Snowball is friendly, it neither bites nor scratches, like a big fuzzy toy . You can sleep with it to keep warm . Would you like to pat it?"
Vivi was almost crying . She said with a bitter face: "I like cats and always want to pat them when I see one . But . . . but I'm allergic to cats, and will sneeze as soon as I touch them, for days . Even if I don't touch them . . . Ah Choo!"
She covered her nose, and sneezed .
