Chapter 248
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The car slowed down and pulled over at a quiet old street in the south side of the city .
Zhang Zian and his two cats jumped out of the car .
Before China claimed independence, the south side of Binhai City was the flourishing downtown area . Many of the foreign embassies and offices were set up there . Now, most of the buildings had turned into memorial halls or museums . The street where they stood was next to the old embassy street and it looked exactly the same as it had decades ago . London planes were planted alongside the road . The golden leaves were as big as a palm . Some of them were on the ground as bright as gold .
Today was a nice day . It was cold and cloudy in the morning but it turned sunny at noon . The sunlight went through the branches and landed on the ground and the top of the car .
"What a nice day!" Zhang Zian murmured to himself, "A good day for a walk . "
He bent down and picked up a full leave on the ground, facing the leave to the sun and clearly saw the veins .
There wasn’t any tall building on both sides of the street . The tallest buildings were only three -story . Many of them were in western style . Some even had a private garden which looked like the houses in the US . A small fountain, A half-naked goddess status, beautiful landscaping, a nice swing, little angel status with wings on their back, etc . … form an elegant picture .
Guo Dongyue got out of the car with his bird cage . The driver drove away waving his hand .
"What are you looking at?" Guo Dongyue looked down at his feet when he found that Zhang Zian was looking at him .
"Nothing," Zhang Zian shrugged his shoulders .
A second ago, upon seeing the beautiful buildings in front of him, Zhang Zian saw how the environment could influence a person . Guo Dongyue grew up in an elegant space, so he turned out to be an outstanding architect and designer . He grew up in a pet shop, so he was always interested in pets .
The phrase "the environment can form a person" was so true .
It was noon . There weren’t many pedestrians on the street . A few kids who looked like college students were taking pictures . The girls that were modeling were wearing cosplay costumes with huge foam weapons in their hands . The girls were sometimes teasing, sometimes elegant .
Zhang Zian thought that the "photographers" looked familiar . They might be the same group that he met in Mt . Hidden Fog . It looked like they had finally found some girl models . The girls were… he wished he could tell if they were pretty, but they were wearing too much makeup .
It was a nice location for cosplay photography . The whole street looked like a royal family’s in the west .
They were standing in front of a Gothic church . It was a small four-story church with a mixture of red bricks and wood design . There was a tall clock tower on each side of the building . A pure white cross was sitting on top of each clock tower . The church was solemn, dignified and old-fashioned .
If you took a picture there, you could totally lie to people and say that you have been to Europe .
Outside of the church, the photography group was having fun . There were not many pedestrians and no one was looking . The only problem was that the girls were wearing sexy clothing that was not suitable for winter . When a cold breeze came through, one girl sneezed and her snot shot straight into the expensive camera…
The "photographer" seemed quite green . They couldn’t get any good angles or lighting after a long while . The two who were lifting the reflecting board were totally sore in their arms .
"There is my home," Guo Dongyue said with one hand holding the cage and the other pointing down a small lane .
Both walked towards the lane, hearing the sound of falling leaves .
"Wait! Wait, please!"
Zhang Zian looked back and saw a tall guy from the photography group about to cross the road . Seeing that Zhang Zian looked back, he waved and wanted them to wait .
A big truck drove by with a truck load of leaves . After the truck was gone, the guy ran over and stopped in front of Zhang Zian .
"Umm, may I borrow your cat?" the tall guy said .
"What?" Zhang Zian was surprised . "Borrow my cat?"
"Yup, our group was taking pictures and the cosplay girls thought that your cat was very pretty, so we would like to borrow it . " The tall guy pointed at their group .
They had stopped taking photos and were all looking in his direction . The cosplay girls were wrapped in a thick coat and curled up together .
"Don’t you already have everything you need for photo shooting?" he asked .
The tall guy said, "Yes . "
"Then why didn’t you get a cat ready?"
The tall guy was speechless, "We didn’t plan on that, but the cosplay girls saw your cat and came up with the idea . "
"I am sorry, but I can’t do that," Zhang Zian was straightforward .
"Why?" the tall guy asked . He apparently hadn’t expected rejection .
"It is none of my business that you want to make these girls happy," Zhang Zian knew exactly what the tall guy wanted . This so-called photography group was in fact a tool to get girls . As a damn single guy, Zhang Zian couldn’t standing the idea of assisting other guys in getting girls .
Honesty sometimes hurt the most .
The tall guy rubbed his head and looked at his friends . Obviously, his friends didn’t expect rejection either so they waved at him and rushed him to get the cats over .
He pulled out his cell phone and asked Zhang Zian quietly, "How about I rent it from you? Just for one day… No… How much is rent for half a day?"
Now Zhang Zian was just speechless . That guy was trying everything he could to make the girls happy .
"I am sorry, but we are in a rush . I can’t stay here with you . " He rejected the tall guy again not because he was jealous, but because he wanted to save the girls from this guy .
"Wait!" The tall guy stopped them again, "You may not know . The photos we take here will be sent to our university’s display and they will be shown online . "
Zhang Zian didn’t understand, "So?"
"Think about it, if our pictures got a prize in this show, our cosplay girls will become popular online . It will be an honor for your cats too . "
Zhang Zian was again speechless . He didn’t understand why the tall guy was so confident about his offer .
