After leaving the Institute of Abnormal Life, Zheng Qing did not return to school directly.
He held the cardboard box and walked along the winding pedestrian street for a long time, and finally found a cat cafe called 'Coffee Cat'. In front of the shop, squatting was an Egyptian cat made of white porcelain, with a tall and well-proportioned body.
, there are two green gems embedded in the eye sockets, shining with charming colors under the dim street lights.
When seeing a customer coming to the door, the Egyptian cat just shook its ears and remained motionless, not even glancing at the customer. Zheng Qing believed that if it were a Teddy or Pomeranian squatting at the door of the store, they would have started shouting early.
Already.
The young public-funded student carefully stepped over the alchemical cat and pushed open the glass door of the 'Coffee Cat'.
Behind the door is a tall cat climbing frame. Rough hemp ropes are tightly tied to the wood and decorated with simple plates and branches. On the climbing frame, there are many "cat fruits" hanging horizontally and vertically, just like on the shore of Linzhong Lake.
That cat fruit tree. Zheng Qing vaguely found a few of his old subordinates on this climbing frame, but because the human eye has a bias in recognizing cat faces, and those "old subordinates" were not very positive about his arrival.
reaction, so he didn't know if he had seen it wrong.
Taking a breath, Zheng Qing showed a satisfied smile on his face.
The air in the store was very fresh, much better than the stinky feeling he had expected. You could see many green elves flying around in a hurry among the fallen vines above, collecting the cats that had fallen into the store.
Long and short cat hair, as well as the scent they scatter may affect the feelings of guests.
The wizard stood at the door, looking left and right.
"Hello, who are you?" The clerk wearing brown trousers walked up quickly and greeted warmly.
"Ah, I'm looking for someone." Zheng Qing continued to search the store with his head.
"If you bring your own pet cat, our store can help you take care of it." The coffee shop clerk glanced at the cardboard box in Zheng Qing's arms and said expectantly: "For example, we can help your cat comb, scratch, clean, feed...
…We can also feed it catnip if you wish.”
"Oh, cat?" Zheng Qing came to his senses, looked down at the cardboard box in his arms, then looked up at the enthusiastic clerk, and laughed: "I like cats. But my pet is a fox... and I
I didn’t bring it with me today. There are some green elves in the box. They were sick and I took them to see a doctor before.”
As he spoke, he slightly lifted a corner of the carton.
A lively little elf came up in an instant, stuck its little head out of the box, stared at its two black eyes, and curiously observed its fellow creatures flying around in the air.
"That's it." The clerk nodded slightly disappointedly.
Zheng Qing soon found Elena in a corner of the shop. The witch seemed to be aware of it, and raised her head at this time. After seeing Zheng Qing's figure, she waved to him.
The clerk smiled slightly, stopped interrupting, and quietly left.
"Jiang Yu said it would take you about half an hour to come... I didn't expect you to come so early." After arriving at the corner, Elena motioned for Zheng Qing to sit opposite him, then leaned forward and walked from the side.
Pull up another chair.
The gypsy witch is wearing a red pleated half-length skirt today, with a high waist and hip-covering, and a black shirt with a small V-neck on her upper body, which adds a bit of sophistication to her charm. A bright red dress hangs on the back of the chair behind her
On the cloak, you can faintly see the gypsy witch mark embroidered in gold thread.
"Jiang Yu?" Zheng Qing showed a puzzled expression.
He and Elena had already planned to meet here. According to the idea of the gypsy witch, they should choose a different place for every date, so that they will have a new feeling every time. It is best to make the entire meeting
We ate in all the small shops in Beta Town.
Zheng Qing is perfectly fine with this slightly willful choice. Although he is not yet a wealthy man, but with the support of many previous bonuses and income from small shops, he can still afford to invite Elena to sit in Beta Town every now and then.
some.
"Yes, Jiang Yu." Elena closed the textbooks and homework at hand, and looked at the wizard with a smile: "You are not here today, I asked Jiang Yu to help review the homework for the afternoon talisman class..."
"Jiang Yu is here too?" Zheng Qing sat on the chair and twisted his body uneasily. He didn't know if it was because the wooden chair under him was too hard.
"She went to get coffee...ah, over there." Elena pointed to the other direction of the cafe.
Zheng Qing immediately recognized the familiar figure among the crowd.
Jiang Yuzheng brought a pot of coffee and walked towards the seat.
Today she wore a beige dress, nude fish-mouth high heels, her arms were bare, and a thin belt was tied around her waist. There was also a jade pendant that exuded a hazy blue light hanging on the belt. She wore a jade mingluan while walking,
The high heels make your heart beat faster.
After seeing the figure of the public-funded student, Jiang Yu seemed to hesitate a little, but soon returned to normal and walked over as if nothing had happened, holding a cup of coffee.
"Maybe I should prepare an extra cup." After placing the coffee pot in her hand on the table, she waved to the air, and an elf quickly brought a new coffee cup up.
At the same time, the witch looked at the wizard with a smile: "Why did it end so early today? It usually takes an hour."
"There was no problem in the first place, so I came out earlier." Zheng Qing replied quietly.
Elena flashed her long eyelashes and looked curiously at the wizards and witches in front of her.
Zheng Qing reacted immediately and lifted up the cardboard box he had been holding in his arms: "It's to treat the elves. Jiang Yu introduced me to a senior alchemist before, and his skills are very superb..."
He deliberately emphasized the words 'alchemist' and 'highly skilled' in an attempt to draw the gypsy witch's attention. In this way, he might find an opportunity to inadvertently leak the information about Dr. Duzem and solve the problem.
The problem that was plaguing his mind.
It's just that Elena doesn't seem to be interested in alchemists treating elves - or, in her opinion, the alchemists who treat elves are not that advanced even if they are very skilled.
So she quickly skipped the topic.
"Oh, that's it." The Gypsy Witch brushed her long hair around her ears, leaned forward, sniffed the coffee in the coffee pot, and said happily: "Wow, it smells so good... I feel energetic again.
I feel excited."
Zheng Qing felt as if he was waving his fist and hitting a ball of cotton.
