In front of the furry shop.
Lu Yao handed Luo Huan a temporary work badge. Luo Huan took it and looked puzzled: "What for?"
"Put it on. I'm going to enter the store." Lu Yao stepped forward and prepared to open the door.
Luo Huan raised the bracelet and took a look. The silver badge was engraved with the owner's name.
Jing Yuxi also had one on his wrist, but the color of the string was different from his.
Just like playing house, Luo Huan sneered and put on the bracelet silently.
Pushing open the door, Lu Yao walked in first, "The store just completed the expansion yesterday. There are undersea tunnels connecting the various areas. Yuxi, take the children to walk around. If you have any questions, find Xiaoji or Qingmei. If it doesn't work, call me." There is
still an area that has not been inspected, and she wants to go and take a look as soon as possible.
As soon as he stepped into the store, Jing Yuxi noticed that the store was different.
The space was larger, and there were four or five half-open doors on both sides of the transparent wall. Outside the door was a transparent tunnel made of the same material as the wall, winding all the way to an unknown direction.
"It's only been a few days since I last came here, and the store has changed a lot." Lu Yao had already left, and Jing Yuxi had to look back at Luo Huan.
The young man turned around in shock, the astonishment in his eyes had not yet faded. He noticed Jing Yuxi's gaze, half-closed his eyelids, and tried his best to keep his voice low: "Where is this place? Didn't we enter a pet store?"
Jing Yuxi looked at Luo Huan, as if he saw his former self, and smiled: "This is a pet store, but it's a pet store opened on the seabed. What, you haven't seen it before?"
Luo Huan looked up, and a group of sardines flew past his head like a flock of sparrows.
It was indeed not wallpaper, nor was it a special effect.
What he saw was completely beyond his imagination and expectation, constantly impacting his cognition, making him unable to calm down for a long time.
He nodded blankly, and suddenly felt warm at his feet.
In the cold seabed, after the shock, the furry and warm touch was particularly obvious.
Luo Huan lowered his head, and his cold expression almost couldn't be maintained.
A black cat was waving its tail and rubbing his trouser leg eagerly.
It was a deep sea outside, and there was actually fur in the store.
It was dark all over, with smooth skin, and only its two front paws were pure white. It was like a dark cloud stepping on snow. This cat was well-fed.
"I've never seen this cat before. I guess it's a new clerk. Everything in the store is good, except that there are not enough cats to pet." Jing Yuxi squatted down, picked up the lone white socks, walked to the tunnel with the "Octopus Room" sign, and asked Luo Huan: "Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Luo Huan felt a little regretful that he didn't pick up the black cat first, "You haven't been outside yet?"
Jing Yuxi held the white socks with both hands and shook his head, "There were no tunnels when I came last time. The places outside are newly built, and I haven't seen them yet. Many people go there to see what they are playing."
The transparent tunnel is almost integrated with the sea water. Deep-sea fish swim along the wall from time to time, passing by the side, feet, or head.
Luo Huan and Jing Yuxi walked very slowly, their hearts trembling with fear, but also with a bit of uncontrollable excitement. It was
a real deep-sea tunnel, walking in it, observing seaweed, corals, and fish up close, everything was very novel.
But the white socks were a bit heavy, Jing Yuxi carried it for a while, but couldn't carry it anymore, so he had to put it down.
As soon as the white socks landed, they ran to the octopus room, and Jing Yuxi and Luo Huan couldn't catch up.
"The octopus-shaped room is like an amusement park, this is too interesting." Jing Yuxi slowly accelerated, turned around and called Luo Huan, "Come on, there is a slide here."
Luo Huan said "tsk", didn't say much, and slowly followed.
They came at a good time, most of the guests had already played the octopus arm slide, and now ran to the jellyfish room and sea urchin room on the other side to play.
After the guests dispersed, there were not too many people left in each area, and there happened to be empty seats on the slide.
Jing Yuxi thought Luo Huan was too slow, so he went down the slide first.
Luo Huan found White Socks who had arrived earlier - the big black cat was lazily lying on the cat climbing frame licking its fur and washing its face.
He took White Socks into his arms and walked towards the octopus slide, "Don't be afraid, play with your brother."
When White Socks first came to the store, it was a timid little kitten, but stray cats have strong adaptability, and it became a veteran in a few days.
A customer had taken it to play on the slide before, sliding from the beginning to the end. It was not afraid, but rather liked it a little.
Luo Huan held White Socks tightly in his arms, and it was well-behaved, not struggling or making a fuss.
A man and a cat followed the curve of the octopus's tentacles and slid safely to the bottom.
White Socks rolled over like a pig, jumped onto the low stool in the corner, squatted at the window, and looked at the scenery with his tail wagging.
Luo Huan was lying on the slide in a daze for a long time before he sat up, walked to the low stool and sat down. When he saw the scenery outside the window, he could no longer restrain the surprise in his pupils. Outside the window,
the sky was blue and the clouds were white, and the sun was hot.
He felt like he had turned into a fish, living in a huge fish tank, placed by the window sill by his owner, peeking at the outside world through the glass.
Luo Huan sat there for a long time, his mind full of complicated thoughts, until he heard a soft "meow", and then he came to his senses.
White Socks was bored, squatted at the octopus's door handle, wagging his tail and meowing at him.
Luo Huan stood up, grasped the door handle and opened it, his face showing surprise again.
White Socks squeezed through the crack of the door and ran out in small steps, then turned back and urged: "Meow~"
Luo Huan followed the kitten's steps in a daze, sat on the octopus hot air balloon, and slowly rose up, his vision gradually widened. The
garden eels dancing on the seabed, the corals swaying with the ocean currents, the colorful fish, the occasional large predatory sea beasts swimming by...
The mysterious and magnificent scenery of the seabed unfolded before his eyes one by one.
This is definitely not a beautiful scenery that can be captured in a fish tank, so where is this?
Jing Yuxi came up first, and when he saw Luo Huan coming back, he stood up and said, "I heard that there are more fun sea urchin room and jellyfish room over there, they're waiting for you."
Luo Huan held the white socks, his face brightened up, and asked with interest, "Are the sea urchin room and jellyfish room different from the octopus room?"
"I heard other guests chatting, and it seems that in the sea urchin room you can borrow tools to pick sea urchins from the sea. By the way, don't bring cats to the jellyfish room, it seems to be a bird room."
"Bird?" Luo Huan rubbed the white socks in his arms.
The big fat cat has thick fur, which is soft and smooth. It even snores comfortably when you rub it.
"Well, there are many customers playing there. I heard that there are cockatiels and lovebirds. They are all furry employees on duty today." Jing Yuxi was very interested.
"Sister Yuxi, do you know where the customers here come from? It seems that except for us, no one else wears bracelets." Luo Huan asked.
They came in from the door and did not meet any other customers, but there were many people in the store.
He couldn't figure out where those customers came from, nor could he figure out why the owner could open a store in the deep sea.
These questions filled his mind. The more he looked, the more confused he became, but he couldn't help but want to explore.
In other words, everything in this store stimulated his curiosity.
Jing Yuxi paused for a moment, then whispered, "Do you know the story of the mermaid?"
She had been here many times and knew that some fish in the sea would turn into humans after entering the store, which was almost the same as a mermaid.
Luo Huan nodded.
Jing Yuxi coughed lightly, "Actually, I don't understand it either. I just think the owner is a witch living in the deep sea. We also signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot reveal any secrets about the witch to the outside world. But I think that the existence of her and this store is more like a fairy tale for adults."
The adult world has no Santa Claus, no fairy tales, no miracles, just like a pond that is no longer filled with living water.
Most of the fantasies about ideals and the future are gradually stripped away from the spirit, leaving behind the most practical life problems.
But if you have the opportunity to come to this sea, you will encounter a magical furry shop.
There is no need to change deliberately, and there is no need to force yourself to become a better and more positive person.
Give up thinking, spend some time here quietly and relaxing with yourself, eat seafood, play with cats and birds, ride the slide, stroll in the deep sea...
Stop, rest for a while, and then continue to return to the normal state of fighting against life.
Jing Yuxi is not uncurious about the owner, but seeing the attitude of Ji Feiming and Bai Jing towards the owner, she understands that this is not something they can explore clearly, it is better to be confused and join in.
Luo Huan's light brown pupils rippled with a faint light, and he lifted up his white socks with force, "Let's go, let's go to the sea urchin room first."
Jing Yuxi noticed something and chased after him, "You seem to be in a good mood?"
Luo Huan pursed his lips and shook his head, suddenly a little shy.
Jing Yuxi's expression moved slightly, Luo Huan changed a little.
The two arrived at the sea urchin room. The guests discovered White Socks and brought small toys and snacks.
The fat cat that had wandered around could not stand the temptation of food. The pig rolled over and jumped out of Luo Huan's arms, running towards the food and toys with its tail twitching.
"You are such a heartless little thing." Luo Huan patted his fur and laughed angrily.
"You can go downstairs from here." Jing Yuxi called out.
The two walked down the stairs and reached the bottom. The hemispherical fish tank hanging upside down caught their eyes. The tank was already half filled with seafood.
Luo Huan clearly saw the guests leaving the store and turning into various fish, holding the ropes on the net bags, or pulling up the net bags with their tails, picking up seafood in groups of three or five in the sea urchin fields outside the wall membrane.
He looked at Jing Yuxi: "You knew this a long time ago?"
Jing Yuxi shook the light blue bracelet on her wrist, "I got a monthly card, and I've been here many times. Without this thing, we can't enter this store at all, but they are different."
Luo Huan only then realized the true meaning of "Mermaid", his eyes fixed on her bracelet, his expression was completely different from when he first came, after struggling for a long time, he still couldn't help asking: "How do I get a monthly card?"
"More than one million, find the owner and make an appointment in advance." Jing Yuxi had expected him to ask, but didn't laugh at him.
The magic of this store is really hard to believe unless you come here in person.
Luo Huan lowered his head and calculated that with the money he had saved for many years and the pay from previous filming, the monthly card could probably last for a few years.
"Look at them picking sea urchins and having so much fun. I want to go, too." Jing Yuxi looked out of the wall membrane with longing in his eyes.
Luo Huan: "As long as you have a diving suit."
Jing Yuxi shook his head: "No. Forget it, let's go to the jellyfish room."
The sea urchin field can only be viewed but not played, which is too torturous.
The design of the jellyfish room is a little different. When they came in, several birds were standing on the small swings at different heights.
"It's really a bird house!" Jing Yuxi stared at the little fat bird on the swing and smiled, "It's so cute."
The yellow-skinned little black chicken stood on the shortest horizontal bar. When he saw someone coming, he lowered his head and reached over. The meaning was very obvious: rub me!
"The little fat chicken feels so soft!" Jing Yuxi rubbed the soft yellowish fur of the little black chicken and "died" directly.
Free-roaming chickens like Xuanfeng and Mudan are full of personality and are especially good at acting coquettishly, which really makes people "unable to control themselves".
Luo Huan looked around and wondered: "Why is there no one?"
Jing Yuxi: "Downstairs."
The jellyfish tentacles are dense, and the number of hanging boxes in the jellyfish room is three times that of the octopus slide, but there are still many guests queuing.
The posture of the flower hat jellyfish is too beautiful, and there is a jellyfish field next to it. The beautiful jellyfish gather in one place, stretching their tentacles and swimming, which is fascinating.
Who doesn't like to sit on the rotating jellyfish Ferris wheel and watch jellyfish?
The two waited for a while, and there were too many people queuing downstairs, so they just sat down and teased the little fat bird.
The little black chicken was very jealous. When Jing Yuxi took the time to rub the gray black chicken that was waiting obediently beside him, the yellow little black chicken bit him angrily, and even lowered its head to squeeze over and forcibly squeezed the gray little black chicken away.
Jing Yuxi couldn't help laughing and tapped the chicken's head: "Why are you so petty?"
The little black chicken looked over with two blushes on its cheeks, and looked arrogant, as if saying "You can only spoil me alone."
The melodious sound of the piano came from a distance, vaguely.
Luo Huan's hand trembled, scaring away the little yellow peach that had landed, "Why is there a piano sound?"
Jing Yuxi listened for a while, got up and walked to the entrance of a tunnel: "It seems to come from here."
"We haven't been to this room yet." Luo Huan said.
Jing Yuxi: "Go and have a look."
This tunnel was particularly dark. Jing Yuxi and Luo Huan walked for nearly ten minutes. The surrounding scenery gradually opened up, but they had not yet reached the end.
The sound of the piano continued intermittently, occasionally accompanied by a few delicate and sharp "whimpering" sounds like leather rubbing against each other.
Luo Huan quickened his pace, "There's a whale!"
The two walked for another five minutes and finally saw the whale room at the end of the tunnel. It was a transparent room shaped like a round whale. A black piano was placed in the huge whale's head, and someone was playing the piano.
"Shopkeeper." Jing Yuxi exclaimed.
She remembered the piano. The last time she came, it was placed in the corridor outside the shopping street. She
didn't see it today, and she thought the owner had dealt with it. She never expected that the piano was moved here.
Jing Yuxi's steps became faster and faster, and he couldn't help but run.
Luo Huan chased after him, and when he reached the whale room, he couldn't help but stop.
The owner stood in front of the black piano with his back to them, playing a tune in an awkward manner.
Outside the transparent membrane, groups of killer whales rolled and swam, making continuous "weeping" sounds.
"They are all killer whales, can they understand?" Luo Huan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Jing Yuxi: "Don't underestimate whales, they are very smart and have their own way of communicating. Maybe they can really understand."
"Wing——" A long cry interrupted, and a black shadow covered his head.
Luo Huan looked up, and three humpback whales swam over the whale room, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe.
It was too huge.
The shop owner didn't know at this time that the intermittent piano sounds were transmitted tens of kilometers away. Countless deep-sea monsters heard the call from this sea area, croaked in response, and swam towards the garbage sea.
The system reminded that someone was coming, and Lu Yao turned to look over, "You are here, are you having fun?"
Jing Yuxi nodded, unable to take her eyes off the piano, "Why did you move the piano here?"
"There was no place to put it outside, and this room happened to be empty, so I moved it here." Lu Yao said.
This seabed is wide and flat. She was here last time to remove the rattan pot for the humpback whale, and she was deeply impressed.
She had a feeling that removing the ivy pot would not be the last time, so when considering expanding the store, she planned to build a whale room here.
The whale room is far away from the real location of the Furry Shop and several other expansion areas. The room is large and empty, and a bit deserted. Lu
Yao moved the piano out of the warehouse, found a place to put it, and unexpectedly found it very comfortable.
She pressed a few notes casually, and happened to encounter a group of killer whales staying nearby.
They seemed to recognize her and danced to the sound of the piano.
"It's great to put this piano here. This is the first time I know that whales can play the piano." Jing Yuxi's eyes were shining, and she was so excited that she could hardly speak.
Luo Huan walked to the wall membrane and stared at the killer whales swimming outside, his eyes unable to move.
It was so cute.
The red glow burned half the sky, and the setting sun hung on the top of the mountain, refusing to sink.
Jing Yuxi and Luo Huan came out of the furry shop, still not satisfied.
In the shop, time seemed to be accelerated.
They played in the whale room for a while, went to the jellyfish room to ride the Ferris wheel, and returned to the main shop to eat some seafood. It was closing time before they had enough fun.
Standing at the door of the furry shop, the afterglow of the setting sun swept over his skin, bringing a hint of warmth. Luo Huan's expression was a little dazed, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Jing Yuxi: "What's wrong?"
Luo Huan shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "These fairy tales should not only be left for adults, but minors also need such fairy tales."
Jing Yuxi raised his eyebrows and patted the boy's shoulder, "Let's go, it's time to go home."
Luo Huan nodded, took a step and stopped, turned back and grabbed Lu Yao, "Shopkeeper, I want to apply for a monthly card for the furry shop."
Lu Yao glanced at him and did not agree immediately, "You are not an adult yet, right? Why don't you discuss it with your parents first?"
One million is not a small amount.
Luo Huan was unwilling to wait and transferred the deposit directly.
Jing Yuxi endorsed it for him, and Lu Yao agreed to come and pick up the card in a week.
On the way home, Luo Huan rested his chin on his elbow, looking at the trees and vehicles passing by quickly outside the window, his eyes were soft, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.
Luo Huan played a role in the play that was completely different from his own experience and personality, and he was also a juvenile delinquent villain.
In order to master that role, he looked up information, got to know the field, and got to know a world that was completely different from his life.
When interpreting that role, he experienced a lifestyle that was very different from his life so far.
Luo Huan mastered the role perfectly, and even envied some of the character's characteristics that he could not possess.
Perhaps it was this mentality that made him unable to get out of the play for a long time and unable to completely break away from the roles he had played.
The existence of this store told him where the boundaries were.
Outside the door is reality.
Inside the door, you can dream as much as you want.
