Hearing the bird's chirping, Xiao Changqi opened his eyes and glanced at it. His deep, dark eyes still held a hint of lingering bloodlust and tyranny.
Not noticing the man watching her on New Year's Day, and feeling a bit chilled, she simply pushed the wooden tray by the spring into the water, then jumped onto the tray and floated on the surface.
Watching the little bird cautiously perched on the wooden tray, drifting aimlessly, the sadism in Xiao Changqi's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a few barely perceptible smiles.
That cunning little bird is good at playing tricks.
Taking advantage of its thick feathers, Yuandan used its wings to paddle through the water and deliver itself to Xiao Changqi's side, even chirping proudly at the man twice.
Xiao Changqi expressionlessly reached out and poked the bird's back. The wooden plate sank a little deeper into the water under the man's force. Yuan Dan panicked and frantically flapped its wings at the man's hand, telling him to stop messing around.
As a result of all this fuss, she lost her balance on the small wooden plate, and then the entire plate was overturned.
With a "plop," the pink ball sank into the water.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Changqi quickly scooped the little bird out. The wet bird shivered from the cold and curled up in his palm, looking extremely disheveled.
We already experienced the coldness of the cold spring on New Year's Day. Now that the whole bird has fallen into the pool, it must be frozen stiff.
Xiao Changqi quickly channeled his internal energy into her, warming the bird's cold feathers.
With the man's inner strength, Yuandan finally recovered from the biting cold and obediently squatted in the man's hands, no longer courting death.
When she raised her small, beady eyes, she found that the man's face was extremely cold, and his thin lips were tightly clenched like a bowstring.
On New Year's Day, she quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake, then obediently squatted in the man's palm with her head drooping.
Upon seeing its appearance, Xiao Changqi felt a little relieved of the pent-up frustration in his heart.
He used his fingers to smooth the bird's ruffled feathers: "I shouldn't have bothered you."
"Chirp?" Yuan Dan looked up blankly.
So you're not going to insult me?
"Let's go out and play." Xiao Changqi stretched out his long arm and placed the little bird by the pond.
Yuan Dan felt even more confused. She glanced at the man, but seeing that he had closed his eyes again, she stopped thinking about it.
After squatting by the pool for a while, Yuandan suddenly wanted to eat bamboo seeds, but her little package was still in the room and she hadn't brought it with her.
She suddenly remembered seeing some edible fruit on her way here. Turning around, she saw the man still meditating. After thinking for a moment, she picked up a small pebble and wrote a few lines of words by the pond before running out of the cave.
The cave is located in the mountains and forests. Because it is not exposed to sunlight for a long time, it is dark and damp. However, the outside is completely different from the inside. After autumn, the trees turn yellow to varying degrees, but the ivy remains as green as ever.
On New Year's Day, I followed the path I had come from and found the fruit tree; it turned out to be a winter jujube.
The birds nowadays can only fly. On New Year's Day, they flew up to the trees and picked the dates with their beaks.
She had intended to bring some back for Xiao Changqi to try, but after looking at her clothes, she realized she didn't have a bag to hold the dates, so she simply squatted on a tree branch and ate them all by herself.
She didn't know when it started, but she had gradually gotten used to this body.
She seemed to really be a little bird.
The jujube tree wasn't very tall, and when Yuandan wanted to see when Xiao Changqi would come out, his view was blocked by other tall trees.
"Chirp chirp".
Just then, a clear bird call that didn't belong to her suddenly rang out.
On New Year's Day, following the direction of the sound, she saw a brown-black sparrow flying in mid-air, warily staring at her unfamiliar pink bird.
