“Brother Famous, wake up.”
Famous opened his eyes and gave a big yawn.
“Is the team leaving soon?”
It stood up, shivered, and glanced randomly at the surrounding environment.
Famous had long been accustomed to the switch between the real and imaginary space created in his mind. This was unlike the past, when it had always been unclear about which space he was in.
“I think they are coming soon,” Old Time Tea said casually. Then it arranged its facial expression a little, made fists with its paws, and made a bow toward Famous. “Along the way, if it had not been for the help from your people, I am afraid that I might not have been able to reach my destination safely.”
Famous knew that Old Time Tea is being modest again. This is because Old Time Tea in the real world had single-handedly escorted others to the coastal city before. It did not matter, nor did it make a difference whether or not it was there.
Yes, he’d heard that Binhai City was already in sight. They were finally about to reach the end of this long journey to send relatives to this place. They no longer needed to worry about all the difficulties and obstacles faced on the road.
The surrounding area was no longer an inaccessible wilderness. Villages and towns were scattered all over the place. The travelers taking the chariot were driving on the official road. After one arrived here, there was basically no danger ahead.
“After arriving at Binhai City, where does Brother Famous want to go?” asked Old Time Tea.
“No thoughts on that yet,” Famous said and shook his head.
What to do after arriving in Binhai City? Famous was too lazy to think about it. Anyway, he would just have to follow Old Time Tea. If Old Time Tea was willing to stay in Binhai City, he would follow it. If it got a little bored of the place after a long time, they could then cross the Asian continent and head towards Europe. More specifically, they could head to Germany to take a look. That would be an even longer journey, and they may never be able to reach the end, but it beat simply idling around.
The team was about to continue on with their journey. The servants of the Wu family and the people they’d hired were busy tidying up their things.
Wu Ning had recently started to appear less frequently in public because she was now a bride. According to customs, the bride should be hidden and cut off from the world. They should not be seen often, or they may be brushed off by others as being rather “loose.”
She was not a very special girl, but she was quite versatile and knew how to take care of her family’s feelings. Thus, she was willing to suffer this treatment in silence.
The food and drinking water brought to Old Time Tea and Famous had never been so little.
“I am going to take a leak. Call me before you leave.”
Famous felt that his bladder was a little bloated, and after informing Old Time Tea of where he would be going, he headed into the woods to relieve himself.
After a quick pee, he was satisfied. Just as he was about to head back and await departure, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the figure of Galaxy.
Next to an open space in the forest, Galaxy was in a daze.
Galaxy had never been a cat that liked to be in a daze. He was so lively that he made Famous suspect that he was suffering from ADHD.
But……this Galaxy—how should he put it—was slightly different from the real-world Galaxy.
Old Time Tea, besides being younger and less knowledgeable than the Old Time Tea in reality, behaved as in the real world.
Galaxy was different.
In reality, Galaxy liked to play hide-and-seek and play with the kittens in the pet shop. He constantly asked Zhang Zian and Famous to play with him. Even if he was by himself, he would choose to chase his own tail.
The Galaxy in the imaginary world had never played hide-and-seek. It had never even asked Famous or Old Time Tea to play hide-and-seek with it. Since its appearance in this world, its greatest pleasure was catching butterflies. It did this every time the convoy stops for a while and only didn’t do this when they were busy traveling. It always looked for butterflies in the woods and grasses and enjoyed playing with them.
It didn’t need to drink water or eat, so it used all its spare time to catch butterflies. Its behavior was much like students repeatedly doing worksheets in preparation for their exams.
Therefore, the existence of this Galaxy always made Famous feel a bit awkward.
Famous even had a bit of wariness about this Galaxy, because this was not the Galaxy he knew.
But whether it was this Galaxy or the Galaxy in reality, being in a daze was never an option they liked.
“Galaxy, what are you doing? We will be leaving in a short while.”
Famous shouted from behind Galaxy.
“Meow!”
Galaxy turned around and looked at Famous.
No!
Famous shivered a little and came to attention. Those eyes, that look……it was not like the Galaxy in reality.
“You……”
He wanted to ask, “Who are you?”
“Meow! Galaxy’s journey will end right now,” Galaxy said very seriously, turning around.
Although he did not feel the intent to kill from this Galaxy, Famous nevertheless still took a half step back and prepared. He tightened his muscles in anticipation of anything that may happen. He also tried to figure out a way to inform Old Time Tea.
“You can do that. You can call Old Time Tea. Old Time Tea being here is better. Then at least Galaxy does not need to specially go to him and say goodbye.” Galaxy seemed to be able to read his mind.
“Oh, do you really think that I will not call him?”
Famous really did not believe what this Galaxy was gloating about. He knew that the entire team had already let their guard down. If anything happened now, then they would have really lost.
So he screamed, “Old Time Tea!”
With a few howls, a yellow-and-black figure jumped between the trees and immediately landed at Famous’ side.
“What is it?”
Old Time Tea looked around and did not find the enemy. However, Famous’ call sounded very urgent, so he took in air and activated his diaphragm. He raised his vigilance.
Famous pointed his claws at Galaxy. “Galaxy seems to be acting rather strange……”
“What is wrong with it?”
The problem was that this Old Time Tea did not know the Galaxy in reality, so despite staring him down, he did not find anything wrong with this Galaxy—his eyes were clear, there were no signs of injury or poisoning, and it was overall in a very good state.
This made Famous very angry. He could detect the difference, but alas, he could verbalize it clearly.
Galaxy raised a front paw and waved at Old Time Tea. “Meow! Old Time Tea, Galaxy must go first.”
“Oh?”
Old Time Tea hesitated and said, “Binhai is not far off. If it is not an emergency, why not wait till we arrive there and then you can go? Also, we can stay to watch Miss Wu get married. That will definitely make this a worthwhile trip.”
Famous was anxious. At a time like this, Old Time Tea was actually trying to ask him to stay? Faced with such a guy like Galaxy, who was not actually like the real Galaxy, Famous did not want to get along with it anymore.
Galaxy shook his head. “Meow! It’s an urgent matter—very urgent!”
“Oh, if that’s the case……”
Old Time Tea inquisitively looked at Famous and asked for its opinions. Old Time Tea itself had already decided to let Galaxy leave.
Galaxy was the first to open his mouth and say, “Meow! Famous, you don’t have to be afraid of me!”
This time, Famous couldn’t bear it. He knew that Galaxy was a very strong cat. This Galaxy was also very strong, but he would never admit that he was afraid of this Galaxy.
He tried to refute that, but Galaxy said, “Because I am what you created!”
Famous was stunned. What did this mean?
Galaxy hit his forehead and glanced at the empty sky. “Meow! Famous, you should wake up. The sun has risen!”
