In Zhao Qi's opinion, these kittens' dances were impeccable, whether in the aspects of rhythms or choreography—well, maybe not perfect, but those trivial flaws were not worth mentioning to a cat lover. The only thing that made her crazy was the background music, somehow it had to be Little Apple? It was such a cliché and vulgar song!
She strongly urged Zhang Zian to change the song!
Zhang Zian said displeasingly, "Little Apple is a bit vulgar, but at least with the strong beats, it’s more efficient to teach the kittens, and people can’t help but want to follow the moves. Do you want me to teach them Pavarotti’s My Sun? That is surely classic, but the question is, can the kittens master such a song?"
Zhao Qi became quiet. After all, Zhang Zian was the one responsible for teaching the kittens, and there’s nothing she can do about if even she was not satisfied with the music.
Song Bai was stupefied by such a scene. He had seen Zhao Qi’s Lan Lan walk in figure eights before, of which he thought that that alone was jaw-dropping, but this group of kittens dancing together was truly eye-opening and fascinating at a whole new level!
His hands couldn’t help but shake like he had Parkinson's disease. He really had found a treasure! At the same time, he was also glad that he brought a handheld PTZ with him, otherwise the videos would be ruined because of his shaking hands…
Song Bai was still very excited after the song was over.
It will go viral! He had the hunch that this vlog would go viral on the internet!
He had seen a lot of vlogs on YouTube, including a lot of videos where animals were performing. Though those animals were cute, none of them could rival Zhang Zian’s kittens! One kitten dancing alone was already breathtaking, and when these kittens of different breeds and in diverse colors were dancing together, the scenes would make the viewers feel they were in heaven.
Just when Song Bai was still immersed in his fantasy, Zhao Qi dropped her bomb. "These kittens, I will buy them all!"
"What?" Song Bai thought she really meant it, and said quickly, "But I’ve already booked that Dragon Li!"
But Zhang Zian would never believe one word said by Zhao Qi. He rolled his eyes and said, "All of them? Okay, come back in ten years you have enough savings! By the way, what is your credit limit now?"
Zhao Qi was so fascinated by these adorable kittens that she even forgot she had spent heavily in the recent Black Friday shopping. She couldn’t afford one kitten now, let alone buy all of them. Credit card bill day was approaching, she would probably have to borrow money from her parents and besties to pay the debt.
She exasperatedly patted on her own hand, "How can I never control my desire for shopping!"
Zhang Zian looked at her indifferently. He knew that Zhao Qi was a thorough shopaholic, and even when her money went low, she could never subdue her craze for shopping.
"How about you?" He asked Song Bai, "Is there anything I can help you with regarding this black Dragon-Li or the vlog you are filming?"
Song Bai realized Zhang Zian was implying that if he had no further questions, he should pay now.
"No, I'm good."
Actually, Song Bai couldn’t wait to leave the pet shop with the black Dragon-Li. He decided that after returning to his place, he would edit the video clips as soon as possible, then add subtitles, render and upload the final version to YouTube, which would take one or two days.
"How much?" asked he.
Dragon-Li cats were very cheap, but considering that this black Dragon Li can perform stunts, Zhang Zian didn’t intend to sell it at a low price, because if the price was too low, people would rush to his shop asking for Dragon Li instead of other expensive breeds, and Fina would have to work harder in training the kittens…
At first, he wanted to say "2,000 RMB", but seeing Zhao Qi who was also eyeing up the kitten, he changed his mind, "3,000 RMB."
3,000 RMB seemed super expensive for buying an ordinary Dragon Li, but was a fair price if the kitten could dance.
Song Bai nodded and said without hesitation, "3,000 RMB, correct? Okay, I’ll transfer the money to you."
Zhao Qi deplored greatly. If she hadn’t bought the coat she was wearing, she would have spared 3,000 RMB which would have enabled her to buy this Dragon Li to keep her Lan Lan’s company. Two cute kittens dancing to the music? How adorable!
As usual, Zhang Zian also recommended some essential gadgets for cat-raising, such as cat carrier, to Song Bai. Without hesitation, Song Bai purchased all of them. He was neither a smoker nor a drinker, and his only interest was vlogging, so he had some money he could spend.
After receiving the money transferred via network, Zhang Zian drew up an invoice, filled in the pet sales agreement, and gave these documents along with the notes to novice cat-raisers to Song Bai. As for the pet supplies, they agreed that those would be delivered to Song Bai’s place.
Song Bai was going to take the black Dragon Li to leave, Zhang Zian stopped him again, "Wait a minute. We haven’t completed the transfer of ownership ceremony."
"The transfer of ownership?" Song Bai was perplexed.
"Yeah, you can try to give orders to this Dragon Li as I did before and see if it will listen to you," said Zhang Zian calmly, "Not everyone can order my cats to dance; they only recognize one owner. As of now, the Dragon Li still thinks I am the owner."
Zhao Qi knew that he was going to brag. She rolled her eyes towards him and went away to play with the kittens.
Song Bai felt really incredible. It was the first time he heard cats recognize only one owner, wasn’t that a dog's privilege?
However, since Zhang Zian can teach them to dance, perhaps he had also taught them how to recognize a different owner?
He put the black Dragon Li on the ground, clapped his hands like Zhang Zian did, but the Dragon Li simply ignored him. It meowed and tried to rush to other kittens, and Song Bai had to stop it with his hands.
"What... what is going on?" Song Bai was very puzzled. He did exactly what Zhang Zian did to give commands, so why did the black Dragon Li ignore him?
"Relax," Zhang Zian smiled and comforted Song Bai. Zhang Zian clapped his hands three times, and the black Dragon-Li suddenly squatted on the ground, waiting for his order.
Making sure that the black Dragon-Li was watching them, Zhang Zian patted twice on Song Bai's left shoulder.
"All right, now it's yours," he said to Song Bai.
"It’s done already?" Song Bai asked in doubt, not because the ritual was too complicated, but rather that it was too simple.
"Yes, you can try again, I'll play the music."
Song Bai once again clapped his hands for three times. Surprisingly, the black Dragon-Li gazed at him attentively.
He patted his hands again and Zhang Zian started the music player. The black Dragon Li began to dance to the drum beats as it was dancing with other kittens moments ago.
"Sh*t! Amazing!" Song Bai exclaimed, looking at Zhang Zian admirably, "How did you do that?"
Arms across his chest, Zhang Zian pointed to the camera, "Are you still recording?"
"Yes." Song Bai glanced at his camera, which was still working.
"Well, you can add the following subtitles to your vlog—" Zhang Zian swung his hair, feeling good, "My name is Zhang Zian, and my family has all been cat trainers since ancient China, and I am a cat trainer myself! To those gorgeous girls all around the world, you are welcome to add me on WeChat! My WeChat account is…"
"Excuse me... sorry, the battery is dead." Song Bai suddenly found that his camera screen went black.
Zhang Zian screamed inside his heart, "Are you freaking kidding me?!"
"Ha ha ha!" Zhao Qi laughed in schadenfreude.
"I'm really sorry, usually there is a low battery indication, but it just went power off suddenly." In fact, Song Bai was not surprised by this. Vloggers had to buy new cameras frequently. After all, they had to spend several hours shooting, and especially when shooting outdoors, their cameras would experience scratches and other damages. That’s why vloggers didn’t buy cameras with great functions, in their eyes, the minimum requirement was the normal focusing in shooting videos. And apparently, this battery couldn’t work anymore.
"I have a spare battery here, you want to continue when I put it in my camera?" Song Bai asked apologetically.
"Forget it," said Zhang Zian disappointedly, "I was just joking around. No foreign girls will come to China to visit me anyway."
"I don’t think that’s the problem." Zhao Qi chimed in, "How many foreigners do you think use WeChat?"
In fact, Zhang Zian wasn’t expecting much. Song Bai’s vlogs only attracted limited number of views, and among those viewers, how many of them would be beautiful girls?
"See you then." Song Bai lifted his cat carrier and said goodbye.
Zhao Qi looked at the watch, and left the pet shop with him.
