Chapter 358: Heading to Hollywood

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Holding a tray with an egg sandwich and a glass of milk on it, Lauren knocked on the door of the guest room.

"Jeff, are you up?"

After knocking, she listened to the movement of the room.

Because her husband often attended the CFA competition, Lauren knew when the game usually ended, but yesterday, Zhang Zian came back way earlier than the end of the game and seemed to be in a somewhat bad mood. Coupled with the fact that he did not go downstairs to eat breakfast this morning, he was making her very worried.

In fact, Zhang Zian had already woken up. He had been standing beside the window, looking the outside.

Cathy was an old lady whom he admired very much. She persevered, persisted, and strived to achieve her goal step by step. However, her persistence and perseverance did not receive the award she deserved. It was very sad to think about that, especially for her advanced age. This was the last time she participated in the CFA competition. He wondered if she had won in the competition for house cats, and whether her wish had been fulfilled?

Zhang Zian looked down at his cellphone. There was some coverage on the internet about the CFA show yesterday, but almost every piece of news was about the abnormal phenomenon where hundreds of cats were worshiping together in the venue. Nobody even mentioned the winner of the competition for house cats.

Whether or not certain breeds of cats were recognized by the CFA made a huge difference in the economic benefits that breeders gained. This was also the case with the athletes in the Non-Olympic programs— though they were equally diligent in their careers, the rewards they received were way less promising than that of the athletes in the Olympic games.

Tim held a faucet to water the lawn, and advised the neighbors who came to admire the Kung Fu Master to go home, telling them that the Master was not feeling well today and would stay in the house to rest.

Hearing Lauren's knock on the door, Zhang Zian came to himself. He walked quickly to open the door, and Richard said for him, "Coming."

"Hey, Jeff, are you okay? Would you like some breakfast?" Lauren raised the tray and said with concern.

"Thanks! Just getting up, I got tired yesterday." He took the tray, and Richard covered for him.

Instead of leaving immediately, Lauren suggested, leaning against the door frame, "Jeff, you cannot always keep yourself in your room. It’s a rare chance for you to be the United States, you should go around and have fun in the city."

Zhang Zian nodded while stuffing the sandwich into his mouth, and Richard vaguely asked, "Any recommendations?"

Lauren quickly thought and said, "In Los Angeles, you must not miss Hollywood, and then go to Beverly Hills nearby for shopping, and then watch a basketball game at the Staples Stadium! Even though Kobe Bryant has retired, the games are still fantastic. Besides, don’t miss Disneyland... Although a bachelor like you might feel awkward if you go there by yourself... "

Zhang Zian almost choked! He would bet that Disneyland was full of couples displaying their affections!

Lauren watched his expression, and smiled joyfully, "If you want, I can go with you! I was very popular when I was young!"

Zhang Zian could guess that Lauren was definitely a beauty when she was younger, but still waved his hand and rejected her offer, "Never mind, I can go there myself."

"Well, then I advise you to take a walk at Venice Beach. Perhaps you could meet some hot girls in bikinis!" she squeezed her eyes.

Zhang Zian forced a smile in response to her friendly joking.

Although Los Angeles was much warmer than Binhai City, the temperature here now was around 15 degrees Celsius during the day and even decreased to below 10 degrees Celsius at night. Last night's weather forecast even said that Mammoth Mountain, a ski resort in southern California, may have snowfalls, giving the local residents a white Thanksgiving ...what kind of hot girls would wear bikinis in this weather?

However, he really intended to go out and have fun with Old Time Tea, Galaxy, Fina and Richard.

He would pass the beach this time, for none of the elves could swim and everyone hated to get covered with sand. Besides, the weather was chilly.

Beverly Hills... he could afford nothing in those luxury stores even if he sold himself.

Staples Stadium was not an option, for the elves didn’t understand the rules of playing basketball, watching ten strong guys fight to hold one ball…

Disneyland had always been crowded with people, and Galaxy and other elves had never been exposed to Disney culture.

Thinking it over again and again, only Hollywood was a suitable option, a place Zhang Zian had intended to bring them to since the beginning.

He wolfed down the sandwich and drank the milk. Lauren took the tray from his hand and smiled at him.

"I will train the cats first, and then go out for a walk, I will have lunch outside today," e said.

"Okay, have a nice day." Seeing that he had finally stopped frowning, Lauren rested assured and held the tray downstairs.

Zhang Zian asked Fina to come over and took her downstairs. Fina was unhappy and walked very slowly behind him, hoping he had breakfast, but he didn’t. Zhang Zian had to assure her that he would make barbecue for her in a while.

Since Tim and Lauren were preparing for the Thanksgiving party, a grill had been set up in the backyard, and the meat in the fridge was readily available, but how it tasted was unknown...

They went to the room where the Ragdoll kittens were and closed the door after them. Zhang Zian began to sit down and play on his cell phone, while Fina continued to take a nap, pretending that they were diligently training the kittens.

Dawdling there for probably more than an hour, after being repeatedly urged by Fina, Zhang Zian finally took her to leave the room. Greeting Tim, they went to the backyard to barbecue.

After the picky Fina was full, he prepared a portion for Old Time Tea and put the barbecue in an insulated container and returned to the front yard again.

"Hi, Tim, are you going to use your car today?" asked Richard.

Tim was talking with the cat food manufacturer to discuss the matter of transporting cat food. Holding a cell phone with one hand, he pulled out the car key with the other hand and threw it to Zhang Zian.

"Thanks."

Zhang Zian wanted to tell Lauren too, but found that she was not there. She had probablyd gone shopping at the supermarket, since there were a bunch of items to buy for Thanksgiving, including gifts.

He went to the garage to start Tim's minivan and released Galaxy, Snowy Lionet and Old Time Tea in the car, handing the barbecue in the insulated cabinet to Snowy Lionet and Old Time Tea. He said, "Galaxy, Snowy Lionet, and Old Time Tea, I'm going to take you all to an interesting place today, but cats and birds are not allowed there, so all of you guys, including Fina, must remain invisible to avoid troubles."

Richard had always been invisible, and Snowy Lionet and Old Time Tea were fine with the arrangement. Only Fina was peevish hearing this.

"No! I don’t want to be invisible! Are you ashamed of me or something??" She unhappily pulled a long face.

"Meow! Then I don’t want to be invisible either! I’m on the side with Your Majesty!" Snowy Lionet said while chewing barbecue.

Zhang Zian patiently advised her, "Just bear it, I promise the place is going to be very interesting. You will not regret this."

"Really?" Fina looked at him suspiciously.

It was normal that Fina didn’t trust him. His credibility in its mind had been lower than the freezing point.

"Really, I promise." said Zhang Zian, patting on his chest.

"Your Majesty…"

Just when Snowy Lionet was going to say something, Zhang Zian threatened it, "If you dare to say any nonsense, I'll leave you in the United States and let you stay with the cheap American cats."

"Meow! Meow! I dare you! I don’t want the cheap American cats; their body odors are so pungent!" Snowy Lionet was frightened and hurriedly said.

"Then just shut up!"

When they had finished eating, Zhang Zian made them invisible one by one, and stepped on the gas pedal. The minivan left of the garage, and headed to Hollywood.
