In many cases, after breaking the seemingly most difficult boundaries, things afterwards would be a lot easier.

However, the boundary that Galaxy was facing was extremely hard to be pierced, for it was converged by the powerful imagination of countless scientists and science enthusiasts. But it didn’t matter — as dripping water can wear through a stone, even if the obstacle was as thick as a concrete wall, it would be penetrated someday.

If there was anything comparable to the scientists’ rigorous imaginations, it must have been the fanciful and wild imaginations of Hollywood filmmakers.

The moment Galaxy’s paw touched Monroe’s fingertip, it shrank back as if it had received an electric shock. After waiting a moment, it found that there was still no danger at all. The wax figure was motionless. Even the eyelashes were still! And there was no sign that the figure was about to move. The figure would not suddenly lunge over it, catch it and force it back into the black box.

It whispered repeatedly the words Zhang Zian taught it, and once again stretched out its forepaw—much more firmly than before. It touched the finger of Monroe for the second time. Compared with the first time, the contact time was much longer, followed by the third time, the fourth time… until finally, it could touch her finger for a long time without loosening up.

Zhang Zian knew that time was tight, for the fifth elfin could disappear at any moment, but he still was waiting patiently, waiting for Galaxy to move forward one step further, waiting for it to conquer its inner demon.

“Meow! Zian, Galaxy has touched it!” Galaxy looked a bit exhausted after all this anxiety, but still was very excited.

“Well done, Galaxy!” Zhang Zian encouraged it and thoughtfully reminded it, “Think back to what you just felt and remember that feeling.”

Galaxy nodded, and focused on recollecting.

Wax figures didn’t have the breathing, smells, temperatures, glances, movements, nor other aspects of real people. But touching the wax figures was at least a good start for Galaxy.

“Let’s go, there are many interesting things inside,” he said to everyone.

As they continued to walk inside the wax museum, they walked past the wax figures of one after another of superstars. Especially as they passed by the wax figure of Lady Gaga, he wanted to rest his arm on her shoulders to take some photos as other tourists did. But he also wanted to keep his cool in front of the elves, and he gave up the idea…

As for other, more normal wax figures, he could do whatever he wanted. Zhang Zian couldn’t recognize all the celebrities here, especially the female celebrities, for they all looked very beautiful but were not as easily distinguishable as the male stars, unless the actresses happened to feature in the movies he had seen.

When visiting the wax figures from Gone with the Wind, he wanted to kick Clark Gable away and sit down on that chair and be gazed at by that beauty.

When passing the section for Forrest Gump, he tried to pull away the chocolate box in Forrest’s hands.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He jumped into the Hitchcock tub, sticking out his tongue and rolling his eyes, pretending to be the victim of a murder.

He boarded the boxing ring of Rocky, stretching out his arms like a crane in front of the Boxing King. He felt like the way Stallone stared at him was exceptionally reluctant…Before leaving, he also knocked on the gold belt, hoping that he could also become No. 1 in the future.

He crossed his legs to sit in President Obama’s chair, tried to steal the ball from Beckham, and imagined that he was a blacksmith that Kobe Bryant encountered when Kobe was training in Los Angeles at 4 a.m.

He imitated Elvis’s dancing moves, wondering if he should add Elvis’s moves the next time he upgraded the kitten’s stunts…

Finally, when no one noticed him, he also quietly posed in a Wing Chun fighting posture.

He was still wearing that Chinese tunic suit today, and because of his diligent training under the supervision of Old Time Tea daily, he could maintain a single posture for a long time.

As he expected, in a moment, some of the new visitors coming in the museum behind him were fooled.

The family of three, a couple with their boy, about ten years old, were taking pictures with the green Shrek outside. They took turns to take photos enjoyably with every wax figure they passed by, so they were walking very slowly. At this moment, they happened to catch up with Zhang Zian.

The little boy noticed Zhang Zian, who was disguised as a wax figure, right away. He rushed excitedly over and yelled at his parents, “Take a picture for me! Take a picture for me!”

His parents had come here before, but this time they specially brought their son. Right now, they were suspiciously staring at Zhang Zian’s face, asking each other who this this new star was, because hadn’t seen him the last time they were here. Looking at his posture, could he be another Chinese Kung Fu Superstar? Why didn’t he have any expression on his face?

The son was shouting aloud, urging his parents to take pictures of him.

At this moment, Zhang Zian suddenly made a loud noise and a grimaced face. The little boy was so scared, like he had seen a ghost. He ran back behind his parents, staring at Zhang Zian gingerly.

The little boy’s parents were first surprised, then laughed and gave two thumbs up to Zhang Zian, praising him for his vivid impersonation! All the other wax figures were designed to look like real persons, yet he, a real person, could be mistaken for a wax figure!

It was fair to say that Zhang Zian was the one who had most fun here, turning Old Time Tea and Fina speechless.

Old Time Tea suddenly made a sound, walked quickly to a wax figure, and stared at it concentratedly.

Zhang Zian temporarily stopped playing. He followed Old Time Tea, looking at the wax figure of Bruce Lee with it.

He knew that Old Time Tea might have no interest in the wax figure of Jackie Chan, but the wax figure of Bruce Lee would definitely stir up feelings. Therefore, he had planned to visit the wax museum before flying to the United States.

Bruce Lee was wearing his classic yellow tights and yellow Kung Fu shoes, putting on a posture of Jeet Kune Do. Dark-haired and handsome, he was staring forward with a piercing gaze. This was his iconic posture when he was alive.

Zhang Zian could see that Old Time Tea’s eyes were flashing, as if it was meditating, reminiscing, and was feeling sorry for something. He knew that Old Time Tea had watched Bruce Lee’s movies on television. Every time when Old Time Tea watched movies overnight, the next day Zhang Zian could always find Bruce Lee’s movies in the broadcast records and knew that it had watched the movies more than once.

Old Time Tea never told him about this, and Zhang Zian just pretended that he didn’t know.

Why did Old Time Tea watch Bruce Lee’s movies repeatedly? To bring back its memory of Ye Wen from this Kung Fu Superstar? Zhang Zian did not know. The grudge between Bruce Lee and Ye Wen were complicated, plus with his relationship with Old Time Tea, he was in no position to tell who was right and who was wrong.

However, he knew that Old Time Tea would really like to see Bruce Lee from a closer distance.

Bruce Lee died young, so it was impossible for Old Time Tea to meet him in person. But fortunately, this wax figure was so vivid that it had almost perfectly restored the appearance of Bruce Lee himself, and the effect was many times better than that from the old movies in poor display qualities. Although Bruce Lee’s overbearing aura could not be reproduced, at least it had made up for Old Time Tea’s regret more or less.

This was its bond.
