Facing the passion and expectation in Gu Yun's starry eyes, Yu Jiao bit her lower lip. He didn't know how to hide his love, and perhaps he had never thought about hiding it.
"Gu Yun, do you... want to go see that cockatoo?" Yu Jiao didn't want to drag things out when it came to her relationship. She couldn't bear Gu Yun's liking for her, so she should be clear with him.
Gu Yun seemed to have not expected that Yu Jiao would invite him to be alone. After a moment's pause, he grinned and quickly agreed, as if he was afraid that Yu Jiao would go back on her word if he spoke too slowly.
"Yes! I have to go and see it." Gu Yun smiled brightly at Yu Jiao, "That little thing is quite clever. I have been locked up in the mansion recently and haven't taught it to learn new words to amuse you."
Liu Ziqi was happy to see that Yu Jiao was willing to get along with Gu Yun. He said he was going to talk to Liu Yu and did not follow them back to the backyard.
The night was not too late, and without the servants who were busy sweeping the yard during the day, the courtyard seemed especially quiet. In the sky hung a quiet upper dark moon, its light was dim, and not as bright as that in summer.
The two of them walked quietly along the path towards Yingyue Pavilion.
Gu Yun's chest was filled with lightness and joy. Although it was a new moon, he felt that such a night was quiet and beautiful, because the person walking side by side with him was the one he loved. As long as he slightly turned his head, he could take her whole body into his eyes.
Even if he didn't speak, just walking quietly with her like this already made Gu Yun feel satisfied and relieved, his whole heart was full, even happier than taking the enemy's head on the battlefield in Lingnan, so much so that his eyes were full of smiles.
It’s just that the path from the front yard to Yingyue Pavilion was too short, so short that Gu Yun felt he had arrived before he had taken a few steps. But Gu Yun was still very happy because he still wanted to watch the cockatoo with Yu Jiao. He had taken the trouble to get that little toy in the first place just to make Yu Jiao happy, and now it seemed that the little thing was still useful.
From now on, as long as he finds an excuse to visit the little thing and teach it to speak human language, will he be able to see Yu Jiao every day?
After entering the main hall, Yu Jiao asked Gu Yun to sit down and told Jianjia to go to the side room to get the cockatoo. After Bai Lu made tea and brought it in, Yu Jiao sent the two away, leaving only her and Gu Yun in the room.
Gu Yun went to tease the cockatoo in the white jade cage. The little guy stared with his two green bean-like eyes, pecked at Gu Yun's fingertips, flapped his wings, and called out, "Ah Yun! Ah Yun!"
The little thing actually still remembered him? Gu Yun felt curious, and the corners of his lips slightly raised.
The little guy tilted his head to look at Yu Jiao and shouted, "Fairy! Fairy!"
Gu Yun raised his eyes and looked at Yu Jiao with a smile, secretly praising the little girl for being so smart. She hasn't forgotten the two lines he taught her until now, which makes him proud!
He pinched some bird food to feed it. The little guy pecked at the bird food, combed his feathers, shook the pink feather crown on his little head, and shouted, "Bad thing! Bad thing!"
Gu Yun was originally smiling, but the curve of his lips suddenly froze. The cockatoo tilted its head to look at him again and called out, "Ah Yun! Ah Yun!"
"Bad thing! Bad thing!"
Putting them together, it was as if they were scolding Gu Yun by name.
Yu Jiao was also a little surprised. Without a doubt, it must have been Wei Lichu who taught it.
Gu Yun stared at the cockatoo with an embarrassed look on his face, as if he wanted to teach the little thing a lesson but didn't know where to start. He just said angrily, "Where did you learn that nonsense!"
Yu Jiao couldn't help but smile softly and explained, "These days, cousin Li Chu often comes to tease it."
Seeing Yu Jiao smile, Gu Yun didn't feel embarrassed anymore. Even if he was really scolded by this little thing, he thought it was worth it as long as he could make Yu Jiao happy.
