Yun Yan was holding a half-burned cigarette in his mouth, squatting under the wall of a demolished building in the old city. The SLR camera in his hand was pointed at the Sanhua stray cat rummaging through the trash can not far away. His fingers were on the shutter button, and his eyes were wide open. The cat was very vigilant, its ears were straight, and the tip of its tail swept the ground from time to time. If there was the slightest sign of disturbance, it would immediately disappear.
Yun Yan is said to be a street photographer, but in fact he is just an idler who spends a lot of time. I have no fixed job, no social security or medical insurance. I rent a ten-square-meter pigeon cage and wander around with a second-hand SLR on my back every day. I take pictures of cats, dogs, and old houses. I occasionally take small orders to earn some pocket money, as long as I have enough to eat, drink, and smoke. The biggest pursuit in this life is freedom, and no one cares about it.
"Good boy, come here. I'll take a handsome photo of you and post it online. Maybe I can get some money for cat food..." He lowered his voice and seduced in a coquettish way. There was a small plate of chopped ham he just bought at his feet. The calico cat hesitated for a long time, and finally slowly came over, sniffed, and was about to bite, when suddenly——
A dazzling blue light suddenly fell from the sky, covering Yun Yan!
