Chapter 195
Was it the Mid-Autumn Festival already?


Zhang Zian was surprised at how fast time flew by, and then sorrow suddenly came to his heart . He almost cried .
The Mid-Autumn Festival was almost a month ago, before Old Time Tea arrived . Zhang Zian was too busy, so he forgot all about it . By the time he remembered, the festival had already passed .
He’d had no one to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with . His parents died a while ago and all his relatives lived somewhere else . He didn’t really care . It was just another holiday .
"Mid-Autumn Festival?" Xinghai asked curiously, tilting her head .
"Ha-ha, the Mid-autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday . It is one of the most important holidays in a year, representing a time to celebrate the harvest and reunite families . People enjoy the beautiful view of a perfect full moon and eat moon cake . Although today is not the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon looks just as perfect . As long as it is a nice view, we can still enjoy it . However, it is much cooler now, so it is easy to catch a cold . How about we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together tonight?" Old Time Tea laughed .
Lowering his head, Zhang Zian resumed a smile on his face as soon as he looked back up . He agreed, "That’s a great idea . I bet Xinghai and Fina have never celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival before . Today, let’s have some fun! Mid-Autumn Festival is the best time to enjoy the moon and Osmanthus tea . Grandma Tea, I will get you some Osmanthus tea . "
Old Time Tea was thrilled . "Perfect . Thank you very much!"
"Wait . I will be right back," Zhang Zian left quickly .
Looking at him walking away, Old Time Tea smiled . She was getting old and there might not be many Mid-Autumn Festivals left in her lifetime .
"What the heck is the Mid-Autumn Festival? Don’t tell me something I don’t understand," Feeling ignored, Fina was grumpy .
"My Majesty, in a word, Mid-Autumn Festival is a day to celebrate with family," Old Time Tea said . "Even for people who live far away, they will try to get home on this day to see their family . "
Fina thought for a second, "Zhang Zian’s family all died . "
"That’s true . Isn’t that what happened to us all?" Old Time Tea said with a bit of sadness, "All my friends and family died a long time ago . I don’t even have someone to enjoy tea with . I am the only one left alive . "
Old Time Tea started thinking about that hard-working young man, the person she had watched over for a long time . She saw him grow up and become a Kung Fu master . However, he finally died as well .
Fina was in deep thought . Her mind went back to thousands of years ago . It was as if she saw the person she missed the most . However, it was the same person who abandoned Fina for treasures and glory . Fina saw her beautiful lips saying, "Fina, wait for me . We will never be apart . "


Yes . They both lost their most important tie . A person they thought would never leave them . A person that was closer than family and friends .

"We found a new family . That’s great!" Xinghai said all of a sudden . Her mind was so simple and pure . Xinghai was best at finding the root cause of the problem .
Fina woke up from her memories . She looked at Xinghai and said, "No, she was an irreplaceable person to me . "
"Irreplaceable, but there’s also no need to replace," Old Time Tea smiled, "We don’t have to replace them . Families are not lovers . We can have more than one . "
Fina dropped her head . Both Cleopatra and Zhang Zian’s faces appeared in her mind . They sometimes became one, butt sometimes went towards two different directions . She could not understand why, but she had more than enough time to figure it out .
Zhang Zian came back after a bit . There was a bag of tea in his left hand and some Osmanthus flowers in his right hand .
"I went to a few flower shops and eventually found some Osmanthus flowers . We don’t have a Osmanthus tree here, so these flowers are better than nothing," As he spoke, he noticed that all three cats seemed sad .


"What’s wrong?" He was surprised . He was only gone for a little bit . How come the atmosphere turned weird so quickly?
"Nothing . We were talking about how we hope the new Elfin is nice to us," Old Time Tea said .
Zhang Zian believed Old Time Tea . He waved the osmanthus flower and said, "I will get a vase for the flowers and then make some osmanthus tea . We can look at the moon from the roof . "
There was a hidden door on the roof in the storage room . Zhang Zian opened the lock, and a beautiful bright moonlight come in .
He walked up the roof with a kettle in his hand and a towel on his shoulder .
There wasn’t much stuff on the roof . In the middle, there was a card table . His parents put it there . They always came up to the roof to cool down on hot summer nights . A little plate was on the card table and in the middle of the plate there sat some small black stuff . It looked like it was some left-over mosquito coils soaked too long in the rain .
Even after he had left home for college, his parents still came up to the roof during hot summer nights . They would move the card table back down after Mid-Autumn Festival, but now the card table was still here even after his parents were gone .
Zhang Zian placed the kettle on the ground and used the towel on his shoulder to wipe clean the chair and table . The white towel soon turned black . He poured some water from the kettle to rinse off the dirt on the table . Once, twice… until the table and the chairs were clean .
He stood up and breathed in some crisp air .
The moon was so bright that there were barely any stars . Although there was no light on the roof, visibility was still great .
Zhang Zian walked over to the edge of the roof and saw that Aunt Li and her husband were busy . They packed up the BBQ skewers for their customers with a big smile . They’d smiled at customers before, but this time, their smiles were not only happy, but also peaceful and full of hope for the future .
He walked around the edge in a counterclockwise direction and arrived at the other side of the roof . Sun Xiaomeng’s clinic was still open . He had heard that evenings were a busy time for her because people brought in their pets after work . 12-hour days were a norm for her . Most of the pets in the pet shop were transferred to the wards in the clinic . Wang Qian and Li Kun went over to clean up every day .
He continued walking and saw the green field . The moonlight covered the field, looking like a silver cover . The street lights by the field were mostly broken . A few working lights were exceptionally dimmed which added a mysterious feelings to the field . He could hear the noises of a few street cats fighting .
He then walked to the last edge of the roof . Looking at the intersection there, numerous cars were waiting to cross the street . An ambulance flew by with the siren on . Cars moved away to make way for the ambulance .
He went back to the door and yelled to the downstairs, "You guys may come up!"
