Chapter 20 Love Birds



Jiang Zhan walked quickly into the teahouse carrying the bird cage and went up to the second floor.

"Sir, aren't we going home?" Aji followed closely behind.

Jiang Zhan went up to the second floor and looked around, then he saw Ah Man standing outside the door of the third private room and bowed to him.

Jiang Zhan strode over and pointed at the door: "Is your girl in there?"

"yes."

Jiang Zhan smiled and rushed in: "Fourth sister, look what I brought you!"

He walked a few steps to Jiang Si, put the bird cage on the table, and asked for credit: "Fourth sister, do you know what kind of bird this is?"

Jiang Si's eyes welled up as he looked at the pair of birds with gorgeous feathers in the bamboo cage.

The same person, the same pair of parrots, said the same words with full expectation: "Fourth sister, look what I brought you!"

How did she answer at that time?

She glanced at the parrot and said coldly, "Where did you get the parrot? I think you were fooled. This kind of parrot can't learn human language."

At that time, Jiang Zhan walked away with the bird cage, looking disappointed, but he didn't expect that he had secretly raised the parrot.

When my grandmother ordered someone to break the parrot’s neck, my second brother tried his best to protect it. When the dead bird was swept away like garbage, my second brother sat on the ground and repeated in despair: “They will say congratulations…”

At that time, she felt regret for the first time. She wanted to say sorry to her second brother, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

After such a delay, it was soon dragged to the kitchen...

Jiang seemed unwilling to think about it anymore.

Those memories were like sharp thorns buried deep in her heart, causing her excruciating pain whenever they were touched.

"Why is Fourth Sister crying?" Jiang Zhan was startled by the watery light in Jiang Si's eyes. He hurriedly picked up the bird cage and asked, "Are you scared?"

Jiang Si wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and smiled, "I suddenly thought of the origin of the bird's name, and I couldn't help but be moved."

"Name?" Jiang Zhan was confused when he heard it.

Jiang Si pointed at the oriole and explained, "This kind of parrot is also called the lovebird. It can only survive in pairs. When one of the two parrots dies, the other will soon follow..."

"Hey, Fourth Sister's statement is the same as that of Yu Qi Ge."

Jiang Si looked slightly stunned.

"Brother Yu Qi also said that few people knew the origin of this parrot's nickname. It turns out he was just kidding me."

"What's the relationship between the pair of parrots that my second brother brought and Brother Yu Qi?" When Jiang Si heard Jiang Zhan mention Yu Qi, even though he knew they were not the same person, he still felt a little uneasy.

"Today I went to have a drink with Brother Yu Qi, and unexpectedly he had many birds at home. As we drank and watched the birds, Brother Yu Qi told me about the habits and interesting stories of these birds. Later he asked me if I wanted to take a pair home to raise. I thought, although I don't have the patience to raise these things, I can give them to my fourth sister."

Jiang Zhan looked at the pair of golden-feathered parrots with pride and asked Jiang Si, "Fourth sister, aren't these parrots beautiful?"

"They are beautiful, but when I saw this pair of parrots, I thought of the origin of their names, and I wanted to cry when I thought of this origin." Jiang Si said softly.

"What should I do then?" Jiang Zhan frowned slightly, looking very distressed.

How could he forget that girls are sentimental?

Jiang Si reached out and gently stroked the bamboo bird cage.

A pair of parrots in the cage were startled and looked at her curiously.

"I can't stand it. My second brother is impatient to raise him. It's better to send him back."

"Send it back?"

"Yes, I see that the feathers of these birds are bright and colorful, and they are well cared for. They won't live well in our home, so it's better for them to go back to their original owner."

Jiang Zhan nodded: "Fourth sister is right. I will send these two parrots back to Seventh Brother Yu tomorrow."

Jiang Si stood up and said, "Since we are going to send them back, why keep them for another day? They will definitely not adapt to the new place."

Although the matter that the witch pointed to her second brother was not revealed now, she did not dare to take the risk.

Ji Chongyi and Qiao Niang's lives have already changed, so why not change other things?

"Well, I'll send them back now." Jiang Zhan looked at the bird cage with regret, and suddenly smiled, "Brother Yu Qi has other birds there, why don't I get one that Fourth Sister likes?"

Jiang Si hurriedly waved his hands: "No, I'm not interested in birds."

"Don't they say that girls like small animals?"

"It would be fine if it were a kitten or a puppy, as they are more spiritual than birds. However, it's troublesome to raise them." Jiang Si didn't dare to show his love for any small animal at all.

She is currently struggling to take care of herself, so how can she have the energy to take care of these living creatures?

"The kitten is indeed cute, but the dog is okay." Jiang Zhan suddenly thought of the big dog that was inseparable from Yu Qi, and he hated it so much that his teeth itched.

That bastard always gives him the cold shoulder, one day he's going to kill it and eat its meat!

The brother and sister walked out of the teahouse side by side. Jiang Zhan stopped and said, "Fourth sister, please go back home first. I will return the bird and then go home."

Jiang Si nodded in agreement, and Jiang Zhan gently kicked the servant Aji: "Aji, send the fourth girl back home. If the fourth girl loses a hair, I will punish you!"

"Second brother, please come back quickly." Jiang Si urged.

Jiang Zhan waved to Jiang Si and strode forward with the bird cage in hand.

Quezi Hutong was not far from here. Jiang Zhan walked all the way and arrived at a house in about two quarters of an hour.

There was a crooked jujube tree in front of the house. At this time, the tree was full of jujube flowers, and all the eyes could see was green.

Jiang Zhan went forward and knocked on the door: "Brother Yu Qi, I'm back again."

The door suddenly opened and a big dog came out.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Zhan asked loudly, holding the bird cage across his chest.

The parrot in the cage seemed to feel threatened and began to make a fuss.

The big dog completely ignored the parrot in the cage and stood across the door, staring at Jiang Zhan with a look of disdain.

"You are a guest here, get out of the way, you little bastard!"

"Woof!" The big dog suddenly bared its teeth and rushed over.

Jiang Zhan was startled, and quickly hugged the date tree with his hands and feet.

The big dog looked at Jiang Zhan with disdain, wagged its tail, turned around and walked in.

Jiang Zhan jumped down from the tree with a dark face, and walked inside without changing his expression amidst the strange looks from his disciples, but he was cursing in his heart: You little bastard, you actually lied to me!

Under the Albizia tree in the courtyard, Yu Qi was standing leaning against the tree in a green shirt, and the big dog ran over and rubbed against the hem of his clothes to please him.

"Brother Yu Qi, I'm here again."

Yu Qi's gaze fell on the bird cage in Jiang Zhan's hand and he frowned slightly.

Jiang Zhan placed the bird cage on the stone table under the tree and said with regret, "My family is impatient to keep it, so I'll give it back to Brother Yu Qi."

"Don't like it?"

"Ah." Jiang Zhan responded vaguely.

"There are many other birds. Brother Jiang can pick the ones he likes."

"No, my family has no interest in raising birds." Jiang Zhan felt that Yu Qi was getting more and more angry.

Brother Yu Qi not only saved him, but was also so generous. It is hard to find a friend like him even with a lantern.

Yu Qi looked at the parrot in the cage, a hint of confusion flashing across his handsome face like cold jade.

How could you not like such a beautiful bird?

He couldn't help but lower his eyes and look at the big dog beside him.

Jiang Zhan almost jumped up: "This kind of fierce and ugly dog ​​is even worse!"

Big Dog: “Woof——”
