The Pains of Growing Up

It wasn't only the people present—the elfins were also listening to Zhang Zian's explanation.

Everyone got different things out of the same speech. People and elfins felt differently about what they heard.

In the eyes of parents, the child grew up in a blink of an eye, not to mention the cat, which grew several times faster than a human. When a person was still stuck in the memory of a plush dumpling that they'd just brought home, the pet had indeed grown at a staggering speed…so much so that it needed sterilization.

In fact, Zhang Zian had thought all of these up on the spot. He based it off the feelings he'd witnessed between Fina and Cleopatra while in Egypt.

He looked back at the counter of a display cabinet in the corner of the store, where there was an Egyptian plaster sculpture of Cleopatra. It had been bought from the Khan el-Khalili market. He then looked at the cat tree with contemplation. Fina also looked up at the sculpture at the same time.
