Printed on the white paper was a chubby little bird, its small black eyes looking lively and familiar.
“Chirp!”
The painting is of me, it looks so much like me!
Xiao Xu jumped down from his shoulder excitedly and circled around the little fat bird on the paper. Because the ink was not dry yet, he was afraid that his claws would ruin the whole painting, so he didn't dare to get too close.
Under the candlelight, there seemed to be something more on Ana Shen’s expressionless face.
…
It was too cold in winter, and Xiao Xu didn't want to go anywhere. Sometimes he was forced to leave the bed, and he wanted to show his teeth in anger, but facing Shen Yanjin's icy face, he became timid again.
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. After all, you eat, drink, and sleep... on someone else's roof.
Then, during the days when Xiao Xu was eating and drinking for free, he met someone who shouldn't have been there.
"Pfft, why have you gained so much weight?"
Liu Qianfo, dressed in a bright red cloak, was laughing so hard that he almost fell off his chair. If it weren't for the cold, Xiao Xu's claws would have scratched his annoying face.
Let this bastard experience the feeling of disfigurement.
“Ahem…it seems that you have been well raised, and Ana Shen has not treated you unfairly.”
Liu Qianfo held his chin, opened his peach blossom eyes and looked at Xiao Xu with a smile.
Xiao Xu, who was curled up, rolled his eyes at him, turned his back and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
“Tsk, you still get angry, that’s too human, no wonder Ana Shen, that big iceberg, dotes on you so much.”
After he finished speaking, he sighed again, changed his posture and lay down in the chair and said, "I actually raised one too, it's similar to yours, but unfortunately it didn't survive the early winter."
Xiao He's mouth twitched, his eyes full of suspicion.
"Don't believe me, everything I say is true."
Liu Qianfo raised his eyebrows with an evil look, his voice was affirmative and his expression was serious.
"I also asked bird keepers, and they said that birds like yours will freeze to death if they don't live in groups in winter."
Xiao Xu did not refute this. In the four years without the male protagonist, it had experienced four winters, and the hardship it felt could not be expressed in words.
As soon as Ana Shen entered the room, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
He first glanced at Liu Qianfo, who was sitting in an uncouth posture, and then his gaze fell on the little fat bird curled up in the nest.
"When did you come?"
Shen Yanjin's voice was neither salty nor bland, and it was particularly cold.
Anyone who breaks in without asking is a thief.
Based on this reason, it is not impossible that Liu Qianfo was beaten out with a stick.
But this is what makes Xiao Xu feel strange.
The hero seems to be pretty nice to the villain?
Wait, this idea is too dangerous.
It let out a small cry, stood up from the nest, shook its fluffy feathers, and tilted its little head.
As if asking, are you back?
"I'm back."
Ana Shen said something suddenly as if in response, which made Liu Qianfo stunned.
"Sure, Fatty, you're doing really well!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xu proudly puffed out his hairy chest and raised his head high.
Seeing the bird's behavior, Liu Qianfo chuckled secretly, a hint of playfulness on his devilish face: "Of course I came to see you. It's almost the New Year, so I brought something for you."
Xiao Xu suddenly felt that Liu Qianfo's smile gave him a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the premonition came true.
"Come here, bring in the New Year gifts."
He just shouted towards the door, and seven or eight people carrying boxes walked in slowly and put the boxes heavily on the ground.
Then, Liu Qianfo jumped up from his chair, walked to the box, and said with a smile: "I see that you are all alone, with only a bird to keep you company. It's not going to be a good New Year."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, and then a big smile appeared on his evil face:
"So, I'm going to come and keep you company."
Xiao He: “…” Damn it!
