The goldfinch on Almond's shoulder immediately jumped up and pecked him, saying, "You're not pretending, you're not pretending."
Gu Yinwei took out a small bowl and filled it with mung bean soup. She first handed one bowl to Bian Tao, and then filled a bowl for herself. Gu Yinwei gestured for her to sit down and drink the soup. Bian Tao was a little restrained.
