The ever-present danger radar tightened at the end of New Year's Day, even tucking in its ruffled fur, and hurriedly retorted: "Chirp chirp."
I didn't intend to run away.
I'm hungry!
Seeing that the man remained indifferent and unmoved, Yuan Dan immediately realized that she was speaking gibberish, which Xiao Changqi could not understand at all.
So she began to express herself using gestures—
First, it fell onto the windowsill like it was trying to scam someone, then patted its belly, moved its beak up and down, stared at the direction of the bamboo forest with its little beady eyes, and made two smacking noises.
Xiao Changqi took in the little bird's actions, his indifferent tone tinged with uncertainty: "You want to go to my yard?"
"Chirp?" Yuan Dan turned to look at the man.
That bamboo grove was originally in Xiao Changqi's courtyard?
She jumped to her feet and nodded vigorously, "Chirp chirp chirp."
Yes, yes, I just wanted to go to your yard... to steal some bamboo berries.
Xiao Changqi stared intently at the plump little bird in front of him, then suddenly let out a cold laugh that seemed to have no meaning. He grabbed Yuan Dan by the scruff of its neck and lifted the bird up: "What else does your master want you to do?"
"Chirp chirp??"
She could understand every single word the man said, so why couldn't she understand it when they were put together?
etc……
Could he possibly think she's an undercover agent sent by that minister surnamed Zhuang?
Holy crap!
This is a huge misunderstanding.
On New Year's Day, it fluttered its wings anxiously, chirping and explaining that it was not a spy bird.
Aaaaaah!!
Is she going to be sent to the kitchen to be roasted?
On New Year's Day, feeling utterly hopeless, she wrapped her wings around the man's four fingers, let out two soft, childlike "cheep cheep" sounds, and unconsciously rubbed her little head against the man's palm.
She was an outstanding 21st-century youth who was filial to her parents, respected her teachers, united with her classmates, and always kept in mind the core socialist values of patriotism, prosperity, and harmony. Yet, her final fate was to be roasted into a plate of bird meat.
Waaaaah...
What a pitiful woman.
On New Year's Day, she became increasingly heartbroken. Holding the man's fingers, she began to sob softly, her pink hair under her eyes becoming wet.
Feeling the dampness on his hand, Xiao Changqi frowned and looked down at the little bird, who seemed to have shrunk in distress: "Why are you crying?"
"Chirp chirp." You're going to roast me, and you won't even let me cry a few times before I die?
At this moment, Green Sprout spoke up, reminding us, "Your Highness, could it be that Yuan Yuan is crying from hunger?"
Although Xiao Changqi did not believe that the little bird was crying from hunger, he remembered that the maid had said the little bird might be sick, so he simply assumed it was unwell: "Go find a doctor."
The head steward hesitated slightly: "Your Highness, doctors usually treat patients, this bird is probably..."
Although birds may seem to understand some human nature, they are still just birds after all.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Changqi frowned slightly and pondered for a few seconds before saying in a deep voice, "I remember that Consort Xian in the palace kept a cat."
The head steward had a sudden inspiration: "This old servant will immediately send someone to Jinxiu Palace to inquire about the doctor who used to treat Consort Xian's cat."
"Hmm." Xiao Changqi waved his hand, signaling the head steward to go.
Yuandan gradually stopped crying, and looked up blankly at the man with her tiny, beady eyes: "Chirp chirp chirp?"
You're calling a doctor for me, are you not planning to eat me?
Xiao Changqi didn't understand what the little bird was trying to say. He thought she was still determined to go to his courtyard, so he turned cold and threatened her: "If I find out that you are passing messages outside, I will have the cooks in the Prince's mansion roast you."
"Chirp!" New Year's Day flapped its wings, fully revived, its round eyes seemingly shining. Then, it slapped a wing onto the man's arm with great pride.
Don't worry.
I am a good bird.
I wouldn't do anything to betray my pet owner.
