The two looked up and saw Greenie flapping her little wings and slowly flying toward them.
The little guy seemed to be panting, his voice was low, and he was flying low and slow.
Sheng Xuan's heart skipped a beat!
Good heavens! Ah Lü has become so weak!
Yuan Heng loved Little Green the most. He was about to smile happily when he heard it say "I love you all", but when he looked up and saw how hard the little guy was flying and how dull its once lush green feathers were, his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
Ah-Lu finally flew over and landed on Sheng-Xuan's shoulder.
Do you miss me? Do you miss me?
Yuan Heng forced an awkward smile, choking back tears: "Where have you been gallivanting off to again? Huh? Did you seduce a few pretty parrots again? We're a beauty of unparalleled grace, we can't lose face even in a foreign land."
Ah-Lu turned her head to look at him, and gave a haughty snort, "I won't tell you! I won't tell you!"
Sheng Xuan's eyes were full of heartache. He gently stroked the feathers on its back and found that it had lost a lot of fur, and in some places, the tender pink skin could be seen.
He managed to say with difficulty, "Ah Lü is still so handsome, there must be some beautiful parrots who like him."
Green flapped its wings excitedly and said, "Ah-Xuan, no need to shovel poop! We don't shovel poop in the mountains! I'm pooping, I'm pooping, I'm pooping!"
Sheng Xuan understood and whispered, "Fine, go ahead and poop all you want. When you get back to Rongcheng, I'll scoop your poop every day."
The two exchanged a glance, their faces heavy with worry.
Only Ah-Lu was happy to have "friends coming from afar," chattering excitedly and never stopping.
Yuan Heng slumped into the old rattan chair, glanced at A-Lu, and then looked at Ning Lang, who was busy in the kitchen. He felt utterly exhausted and his heart sank so much that he couldn't speak.
Sheng Xuan silently watched A Lü, picked up some of the tenderest vegetable leaves, and handed them to it to eat.
The little guy pecked at the shell a few times and then excitedly flapped its wings.
Yuan Heng couldn't help but remind it, "The doctor said it can't eat just anything."
"Let it be as it pleases for now," Sheng Xuan said, then picked another handful of tender leaves for it.
After a while, Ning Lang wiped his hands and called out, "Everyone, come and eat!"
Sheng Xuan glanced at Yuan Heng, who was slumped in the rattan chair, and said in a low voice, "You have to hold on, no matter how hard it is."
Dinner looked simple, but it was a balanced meal with meat and vegetables, including soup, meat, and scrambled eggs.
Yuan Heng had difficulty swallowing, while Sheng Xuan ate heartily, occasionally putting vegetables on Ning Lang's plate and tossing a grain or two of rice to A Lü.
Ah-Lu was overjoyed and exclaimed happily, "Ah-Xuan! I love you! I love you unconditionally!"
In the past, Ning Lang would have definitely stopped him from feeding the little guy indiscriminately, but now, as long as it's happy, she lets him do as he pleases.
Seeing that Yuan Heng was eating little, Ning Lang found a pair of serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of tomato for him.
"It's sweet and sour, which makes it more appetizing."
Yuan Heng forced a smile and nodded.
The three of them finished eating quickly, and Sheng Xuan helped clean up the table and kitchen. The dishes and chopsticks made a lot of noise, but they were eventually put away properly.
Ning Lang helped out from the side, keeping an eye on the medicine soup in the pot.
Sheng Xuan wiped his hands and glanced at her quickly.
"It's about a three-hour drive from here to the international airport, thankfully not far. We have a campervan, we'll drive there slowly tomorrow, and try to get to Rongcheng the day after tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Ning Lang paused in his stirring of the medicine.
She chuckled wistfully, "Did Dean Shan leak my information? I feel sorry for her; she even violated her professional ethics."
The kitchen was quiet, except for the bubbling of the herbal medicine.
Sheng Xuan moved slowly, gently pressing himself against her from behind, his voice trembling as he said, "Please, go back and have the surgery... I beg you."
