700 Home Alone

Old Time Tea heard that Pi was not going to Germany with everyone, but would stay in the shop to update its novel.

"Pi, are you staying in the shop? Our trip to Germany is long, and you'll be alone in the shop…" Old Time Tea asked in surprise.

Zhang Zian also wanted to say that the Germany trip would last at least one week—or even two—including the time on the road. During this time, Pi would be fine during the day, as Wang Qian, Li Kun, and Lu Yiyun were there downstairs to run the business and do the daily cleaning. At night, however, after they had finished their shifts and returned home, the only intelligent creature in the shop was Pi itself. The regular cats and dogs were its only companions in the empty shop.
