It was close.
If Zhang Zian had come down just a bit later, Snowy Lionet might've been gone.
Snowy Lionet was serious about it. It left its first owner. Maybe it was time for the second one? It knew that leaving Fina was going to break its heart, but it had no choice.
Even now, her past owner's face would still come to Snowy Lionet's mind. The girl who Snowy Lionet thought shared the same interests. However, she ended up getting together with a man. Snowy Lionet thought about her, and how its heart was broken when it decided to leave her. It was still sad when it thought about how she and her man were happily together. There was no love left, only hatred.
Why did she lie to me? Why?!
Snowy Lionet wouldn't blame her if she was honest about liking a man. The pain came from being cheated and lied to.
In those days, she would sit in front of the computer with Snowy Lionet and look at pretty girls and cute cat's pictures. They discussed the girls and cats, ranked them, and separated the heavily edited pictures from the others… The normal days were the most real and fun.
At the time, Snowy Lionet thought that its owner liked girls. It had never thought that she was lying.
Snowy Lionet wanted to know that she wanted to earn its trust. It also wanted to know whether she had been lying from the very beginning. Were all the fun times a lie?
In fact, Snowy Lionet knew something was weird because when they wandered around on the street, she would talk about girls yet couldn't stop looking at guys…
Snowy Lionet didn't want to believe that it was cheated. It rather believed that she was looking at them disgustedly, which was fine with Snowy Lionet.
Until that day came…
She told Snowy Lionet that she had to get a file from the company and had to leave it at home. She knew how fake her face was. She didn't even dare to look into Snowy Lionet's eyes.
Although smiling, Snowy Lionet was sad. It told her that it was going to sleep at home and didn't want to go back into the game.
She hesitated but agreed. After giving Snowy Lionet a kiss, she left and shut the door.
Snowy Lionet got up immediately. It went to the porch, jumped on the storage bin on the corner, the highest point of the whole porch, and stared at the ground. It was hoping that she didn't lie.
After a minute, she came out. She was walking so fast, as if she was going to meet someone important or she was going to an important date. Every time when she left home, Snowy Lionet would see her off from the porch so it was aware of how she walked. After leaving the apartment building, she stopped a taxi and went the opposite way from her company.
Snowy Lionet thought that although she didn't go to work, she might not have gone on a date with a man… however, Snowy Lionet couldn't think of another excuse for her to lie about.
Nothing. Really.
If she was going on a date with a girl, she would tell Snowy Lionet.
The rage of being cheated filled Snowy Lionet's heart. It could not stand it. Therefore, it decided to leave her.
It's only regret was that it left in such a rush that it didn't even get to ask her if all the fun times were a lie.
Snowy Lionet's heart hurt so bad that it decided not to love anyone else… until it met Fina.
Fina was more beautiful than any other cat Snowy Lionet had seen in the pictures. It was elegant, prideful and perfect. It was fate! Snowy Lionet fell deeply in love with its Queen as soon as it saw Fina.
However, Fina didn't love Snowy Lionet back. To Fina, Snowy Lionet was only a servant. The only difference between Snowy Lionet and Zhang Zian was that it was a cat and he was a human.
There was no return on its love. Snowy Lionet was extremely frustrated.
If so, maybe it is time to go!
"So, where are you going?" Zhang Zian asked again.
Snowy Lionet was sick of the questions he asked again and again.
"I can go wherever I want to go! Shut up!" Snowy Lionet answered.
There was an annoying smile on Zhang Zian's face. He smiled as if he could see what was on its mind.
"Are you going to the cosplay girls?" He was right every time.
"That's right," Snowy Lionet raised its head and admitted. "They like me. I will have fun there."
"Is that all you are looking for?" His smile was even more annoying.
"I thought that you were in search of true love," he said.
That was hurtful! Snowy Lionet couldn't stand being laid bare. "Yes! True love! That is what I long for!"
"Well, your true love is right next to you. Why do you want to leave?" he turned off his smile and asked seriously.
Snowy Lionet's emotions were like riding on a roller coaster. "Because my true love doesn't love me. My true love hates me!"
"Did you ask?" Zhang Zian continued questioning, "Did you ask your true love this question?"
"Well… Do I need to ask? Everyone knows! Don't be silly!" Snowy Lionet was angry. It was not fair that Zhang Zian could stay with Queen Fina yet he didn't even care.
Zhang Zian giggled, "Ha-ha, don't you know that I have known Fina a lot longer than you?"
So, what?!
"Don't show off shamelessly! It is not about how long you stay together!" Snowy Lionet said with jealousy.
Zhang Zian said affirmatively, "I don't know if Fina hates you, but I know that it doesn't show its emotions. If you decide to leave, I think you should at least talk to Fina."
He was not smart, but he started to get to know Fina's thoughts after getting along with her for such a long time.
That was what Snowy Lionet was afraid of. Should it leave without saying goodbye? It would be guessing and regretting for the rest of its life. It was not brave and strong enough to find out. Maybe leaving Fina without knowing was the best choice. Hearing Fina say "I hate you" would definitely kill Snowy Lionet.
"No need to talk." Snowy Lionet shook its head sadly. "I will leave. Please say goodbye to my Queen."
After saying so, it felt relieved. It slowly turned around and headed outside.
"Well, I won't tell her," Zhang Zian's voice once again came up.
"What…" Snowy Lionet was mad for real. Men were idiots! He couldn't even pass on a message!
"You can tell Fina yourself." Zhang Zian sounded indifferent. "Otherwise, who cares!"
"What the f*ck! I will teach you a lesson today!" Snowy Lionet's fur all stood up and it was getting ready to attack Zhang Zian.
At this time, Fina reached half of its body towards the downstairs and asked curiously, "What are you guys doing down there?"
