Pet King

uldn ’t sleep the night before his College Entrance Exam.　　

Today was the 29th of December, and Pi ’s novel would became Premium tomorrow, on New Year ’s Eve.
This was Pi ’s College Entrance Exam.　　

Zhang Zian knew it was pointless to tell Pi not to be nervous.
He had to stand by its side and support it, so he didn ’t say much before starting his day.　　

The Love Lovely Pets crisis wasn ’t over yet.
People were still posting all over the Internet, seeking animals for trade or adoption.
There were people who didn ’t get the breed they wanted, and wished to trade with those who got better breeds.
If things continued this way, there won ’t be any customers in the store today.　　

When he took the trash outside, he saw Masanori Suzuhara running with Snoopy and Zhuang and Ting Ting volunteering at the snack bar.
The sulfur smell in the air was stronger than usual.
Neighbors were greeting each other happily, asking if they had everything prepared for the Spring Festival.
The temperature was slowing rising, so the snow was melting at an gradual rate.

Zhang Zian stood by the shop and thought about his life in the past six months, feeling kind of sad.
However, once he heard the various elfins in the shop behind him, he felt stronger, and couldn ’t wait for the future.

”Master! Happy almost New Year! ” 　　

Wang Qian and Li Kun walked towards him, with pastries and goodies in their hands.
Tomorrow, they were heading to their hometown in the countryside for the holidays.
Today was their last day of work before the Spring Festival.　　

”Happy almost New Year.
If you finish early today, you ’re free to go.
You still need to pack, right? Don ’t procrastinate. ” He advised them with a smile.
After taking their gifts, he gave each of them a red packet.
”Open it when you get home. ”　　

After a while, Lu Yiyun came into work.
She had always been shy, but today, she was smiling.
Perhaps, she was getting in the festival spirit.
There were times where she ’d stare into the distance, where her parents were.
　　

Zhang Zian gave her a red packet.
”Happy almost New Year! Call your family today. ”　

She stared at the red packet, as if she didn ’t know what it was.
After a while, she took it with both hands and whispered, ”This is my first red packet from a non-elder.
Thank you! ”

”Consider it your end of the year bonus, ” Zhang Zian said casually.
”You ’ve worked hard these past few months, you deserve it. ”　　

As there hadn ’t been any new pets, the cleaning was done quickly.　　

”Store Manager, what about the pregnant Abyssinian cats? ” Lu Yiyun asked.
She was in charge of taking pictures of the pregnant cats, as some customers had reserved the unborn kittens.　　

”They ’ve been moved next door. ” Zhang Zian pointed at the new shop next door.
”You can skip the photos today.
They could give birth at any time, so let ’s not bother them.
You can head home if you ’re finished. ”　　

”See you after the holidays! ” Wang Qian and Li Kun waved goodbye.　　

”I ’m leaving, too.
See you after the festival! ” Lu Yiyun also left.　　

After seeing them leave, Zhang Zian went to the reclining chair and got comfortable.　

He took out his phone, clicked on the Qidian app, cleared his throat and told the elfins, ”Today, I ’d like to read you Pi ’s novel. ”
