Little Celery

When Zhang Zian left the pet store, he glanced over to the other side of the road and noticed that Aunt Li and her husband hadn’t started their day yet. Looking up, the sky was blue, although there were some clouds in the way. The weather forecast said that there was no rain today.

Are they okay? he thought to himself.

It was okay that they took a day off, but he had to think of other ways to prepare breakfast for Fina, Old Time Tea and Snowy Lionet.

He had gotten used to a much more relaxed lifestyle where he didn’t have to cook for the pets. It was too easy to turn lazy. Honestly, he didn’t even have food in his fridge. The supermarket wasn’t open at this time either.

Well, the pets had to wait then.

He looked at his watch again and then headed north along the road. He was paying attention to the pedestrians walking towards him. When he was about to reach the intersection, he noticed a little girl coming towards him.

"Little Celery!" He waved at her.

"Oh! Mr. Manager!"
