five minutes later.

She was woken up again by the phone alarm.

This time, she couldn't turn it off. In order not to oversleep in the morning, she put the phone on the dining table before going to bed. Unless she had a two-meter-long arm, she couldn't turn off the phone's alarm from the 'bed'.

She rubbed her eyes, fumbled for glasses from the pillow and put them on. Jasmine was lying on her quilt, awakened by her movement, jumped off the 'bed', meowed, as if saying good morning, and then went to drink water by the basin by herself.

"Good morning, Molly." She yawned.

Next, dressing, getting up, washing, making cereal... the daily actions have become a habit, and can be completed smoothly even without brain intervention. When she sat next to the dining table and desk, scooped up the cereal and put it in her mouth, her brain gradually recovered from sleep.

Molly also ate her breakfast at her feet, which was much more expensive than hers in terms of food expenses.

Compared with ordinary girls of the same age, she can skip the steps of makeup before going out. On the surface, it only saves one step, but in fact it saves 1 hour, because she can also save makeup removal after returning home. the process of.

Save 1 hour a day, 15 days a year.

If you can live for 75 years, you can save 2 and a half years in 60 years from learning makeup at the age of 15 to no longer needing makeup after the age of 75. It is really scary to think about it.

The two and a half years of my life are spent on smearing my face, I really want to say to my face: You have worked hard!

She can do many things in this hour, such as painting.

But now she is more used to drawing in a pet shop instead of shutting herself at home to build a car. Another reason is... After all, her comics feature Zhang Zian as the protagonist, handsome and muscular It's easier to draw with the prototype of the character, right?

After she and Jasmine had breakfast, she cleaned the bowl and bowl, put it in her backpack as usual, then put on the digital tablet and set off for the pet store across the street.

She and her neighbor next door became monks at the same time, and they both looked familiar. She tried her best to open her mouth to say hello and say "good morning", but in the end she timidly didn't say it. She lowered her head and covered her eyes with the sea .

The other party was the same, pretending to turn a blind eye in embarrassment.

Neighborhood relations in modern society are roughly like this.

The houses in old-fashioned residential areas are not well-sized, short, small, 'tide' and dark. Basically, people who rent houses here have no money, but that's good, and don't look down on anyone.

In fact, with her current income from painting illustrations and part-time jobs, she can definitely afford to rent a better house, but there is no need to waste money, anyway, the house is just a place to sleep.

She left the 'gate' of the community, and the scent of breakfast wafted from Li's Supreme Sucking Cat Snack Bar on the right.

"Good morning."

Someone greeted her, and it was three voices.

She turned her head and saw that it was Tingting and Xiaozhuang. They came to the snack bar to do volunteer work again. It was like this every day. It has been almost half a month. As long as they persist for about ten days, they will succeed.

Tingting and Xiaozhuang were standing outside the snack bar talking to Sun Xiaomeng, probably Sun Xiaomeng was evaluating the sincerity of their adoption.

Sun Xiaomeng looked a little tired, with dark circles under his eyes, he probably didn't sleep well last night.

"Good morning." Lu Yiyun replied in a low voice.

She didn't continue to interrupt their conversation, looked at the left and right vehicles, and trotted across the road.

The shutter door of the pet store was not opened, and it was usually already open when she arrived.

She took out the key from her pocket, unlocked it, and then pushed the rolling shutter door up with a little effort.

Opening the floor-to-ceiling glass 'door', everything in the pet shop is normal, but it is too quiet compared to usual, and the gray parrot that is always noisy is not there. According to Zhang Zian, it was entrusted to the pet shop along with the cats and dogs during the trip abroad. A friend raised them because he liked them very much. He didn't say which friend it was, and she didn't ask.

She took Jasmine out of her backpack, let her play freely in the store, and then cleaned the checkout counter carefully, mainly to wipe off the dust on the keyboard, mouse, monitor, POS machine, invoice printer and other equipment,' After finishing it, I sat down on the chair at the cash register, connected the tablet to the computer and prepared to draw.

As for the cleaning work in the store, Wang Gan and Li Kun will do it together after they come to work. They usually come later because they always play games until late.

Although only one or two chapters of the comics she serialized on Weibo, the response was good, better than her previous serials. Today I plan to draw a storyboard draft of the third chapter.

I scribbled a few strokes, erased them all, drew a few more strokes, and erased them all.

For some reason, she always felt a little awkward, and she couldn't calm down to paint. She didn't feel this way usually, as if...something was missing. Is it because the store is too quiet? But the last time Zhang Zian went to the United States, the store was almost quiet, which did not affect her painting.

She raised her head and slowly looked around the store.

Playful kittens, cat climbing frame, display cabinet, puppies in the display cabinet, shelves...

After a week of inspections, she suddenly found something awkward and couldn't help being stunned.

The statue of the cat god sitting opposite the cash register is gone.

She thought she hadn't woken up yet, so she pinched herself quietly, it hurt a lot, but the cat god statue was still not there.

what happened? It was clearly still there before get off work yesterday.

Her heart became flustered, did a thief enter the store? But the rolling shutter door was locked well, and there was no sign of being pried. The small change in the drawer of the cash register is still there. Although it is not much, the total is several hundred yuan. Which thief didn't steal the money after coming in, but stole the heavy bronze statue? Isn't this sick?

It would be fine if the statue was a work of art or an antique, but she clearly heard from Zhang Zian that it was just a replica and not very valuable.

Did Wang Qian and Li Kun deliberately hide the statue to play tricks on her? Not right either. They thought she was dull, not worth joking, and never joked with her.

And there is only one key to the rolling shutter door, she was the last to leave yesterday, Wang Qian and Li Kun had no chance to hide the statue from her eyes.

Her heart was beating fast, she left the cash register, trotted to where the statue was, and knelt down to examine it carefully.

There is a light white mark on the ground, which is different from the color of the surrounding floor, which proves that the statue has been placed in this position for a long time, but now it has disappeared.

The statue is made of pure bronze and is so heavy that no one will move it during cleaning.

When she saw the cat god statue for the first time, she thought its shape was weird and its color was gloomy, but she felt better after seeing it. Many customers were also very interested in this statue when they came to the store, and even asked about it Statues are for sale. Zhang Zian said that the statue was an opening gift from someone else and that it was inconvenient to sell it, but Lu Yiyun felt that he thought the asking price was not high enough...

By the way, this statue is an opening gift from Xiaoxue, why don't you ask Xiaoxue to see where she bought it from, and if there are other similar models?

Lu Yiyun wanted to spend her own money to buy a statue of the same style and put it in its place, pretending that nothing happened. The statue of the cat god disappeared while she was looking at the store, and she didn't want Zhang Zian and the others to think that she was stealing it. Although she has no money, she never steals, and she doesn't want to be suspected of having dirty hands and feet.

She took out her mobile phone, found Xiaoxue's WeChat ID, and after thinking about it, sent a message: Good morning, Xiaoxue. Remember where you bought that cat god statue in the store?

Since she and Xiaoxue added WeChat, this was the first time she took the initiative to send a message to Xiaoxue.

After clicking send, she clutched her phone and waited, her mind in a mess.

Is Xiaoxue getting up so early? I heard that anchors are night owls...

She didn't wait long before receiving a message from Xiaoxue, which was a voice message.

Clicking on the message, Xiaoxue's voice came from the speaker of the phone, with a little laziness, as if she had just woken up.

"Good morning, Xiaoyun... the statue of the cat god, I think about it... ah, I remembered, I bought it at a second-hand store called 'Chaowuxishi', um, that's it... ...Come on! Come down in a while!"

In the voice, Xiaoxue's mother could vaguely hear her calling her to go downstairs for dinner. The voice was very far away. It seemed that Xiaoxue lived with her parents, and the house was not small.

Lu Yiyun didn't care about anything else, and typed again: How much did you pay for it?

Xiaoxue sent another voice: "How much...forget it, maybe a few thousand?"

A few thousand dollars is fine, Lu Yiyun can afford it, she breathed a sigh of relief, and typed again: Is there only one statue of a cat god in that shop? Is there a second seat?

Xiaoxue: "No, no, there is only this one in the store, there is no second one. I remember that the boss is a 'quite' personable old man. Rather than selling it, it is better to say that he half sold the statue and gave it to me. He said something like psychic psychic, his small shop can't be held down... It's been 'quite' long, I don't remember clearly."

While Xiaoxue was speaking, her mother called her downstairs to eat again, and she responded impatiently.

Hearing that there was only one such statue, Lu Yiyun's disappointment was beyond words.

Xiaoxue: "Xiaoyun, why did you think of asking this? Did something happen?"

Lu Yiyun: It's okay, I just remembered it by chance, Xiaoxue, go and eat quickly, don't make your mother wait too long.

Xiaoxue: "Well, I'm getting up... Xueqiu, get down, don't press yourself on the quilt... By the way, Xiaoyun, Mr. Store Manager has gone abroad, right? Is everything in the store okay?"

Lu Yiyun: Everything is fine, Xiaoxue, don't worry.

Xiaoxue: "That's good, I'm going to eat!"

Lu Yiyun sighed, there is no other way now, even if she wants to pay compensation, she can only tell Zhang Zian the truth, and hope that he will not treat her as a thief.

She found Zhang Zian's WeChat, and after some hesitation, she sent him a message: Sorry, Mr. Store Manager, the statue of the cat god in the store is missing...
