After finishing filming the short video, everyone went upstairs to edit the text and post it on Weibo.
Luo Shimiao finished writing the caption and just posted the video when she heard the elevator doorbell ring.
Thinking it was Lan Xinyue coming up to play with her, she was about to speak when she turned her head and realized it wasn't her.
Three men stepped out of the elevator.
She recognized two of them: one was Xiao Zhou, the director's assistant, and the other was a zoo staff member who served as their guide.
The guide was also carrying a cage, which looked like a birdcage, but it was covered with a black cloth so you couldn't see inside.
A look of confusion flashed in Luo Shimiao's eyes. Why would people from the zoo be here?
Xiao Zhou said, "Teacher Luo, someone is looking for you."
He brought the person up and then took the elevator down.
"Teacher Luo, my name is Wang Bin. Do you remember me? This is my colleague Lin Shijin. I'm so sorry to bother you without saying hello."
"I remember. What do you need me for?"
Wang Bin and his colleague exchanged a glance and got straight to the point: "There's a tricky matter that I need your help with."
As he spoke, he lifted the black cloth covering the cage, and without the cloth obscuring the view, the situation inside was immediately apparent.
Inside lay a bald bird, with hardly any feathers left on its body except for its head and neck, lying there on the verge of death.
This bird looks familiar. Luo Shimiao squatted down to examine it closely, and after a while, exclaimed in surprise, "Little Green?"
Wang Bin nodded: "That's right."
"How did it end up looking like this? Did it get beaten up for being so foul-mouthed?"
Wang Bin scratched his head and said, "No, half of them were pulled out by myself, and half fell off."
"Since the day after you left, Xiao Lü has been depressed and hasn't been eating much. In the last two days, she has stopped eating altogether. If this continues, she will starve to death in less than two days, and the veterinarian is helpless."
"Little Green keeps calling out 'evil woman' all the time, and the veterinarian says that the one who tied the knot must untie it."
"Because this only happened after you left. Even when we saw hundreds of tourists a day, this never happened before."
"So we guessed that the wicked woman it was talking about was you, so we wanted to ask you to take care of it for a while, and then we'll take it back once Xiao Lü's condition improves."
Countless crows flew overhead, and she felt like a bird was clinging to her.
Hearing their conversation, Little Green in the birdcage weakly opened its small eyes. Its previously lifeless eyes lit up when it saw Luo Shimiao.
He struggled to climb toward Luo Shimiao, muttering, "Wicked woman."
Seeing Xiao Lü's performance, Wang Bin and Lin Shijin exchanged a glance. They had guessed right; it was indeed the case!
Luo Shimiao's eyes revealed complicated emotions. She never thought that a bird would go on a hunger strike because of her. She sighed, opened the cage door, carefully held Xiao Lü in her palm, and took out some nuts from the birdcage to feed it.
Watching Xiao Lü open her mouth and eat the nut, Wang Bin grabbed Lin Shijin's arm and said excitedly, "She ate it! She ate it!"
After Little Green finished eating, I fed it another one: "Silly bird."
"Idiot, moron."
Luo Shimiao: ".............."
Wang Bin was afraid that Luo Shimiao would be angry and stop raising the pet, so he quickly said, "Its love for you is sincere from the bottom of its heart, it's a special kind of love. It's just perfunctory to everyone else. No matter how ugly someone is, it can praise them as more beautiful than a flower."
Does this mean that even if you're scolded, you should still say thank you? Then she really would thank you.
Luo Shimiao placed Xiao Lü on the table and let it eat by itself. He poked the thin body and said, "It's not that I can't help you raise it, but I don't have a domestication and breeding license, and I've never raised birds before."
Lin Shijin's face lit up with joy. He patted the briefcase tucked under his arm and said, "Don't worry, I've prepared all the materials and communicated with the leaders of the Forestry Bureau. As long as you're willing to help us raise them, the permit can be approved on the same day."
"Wang Bin will tell you about the precautions for raising parrots in a while. Little Green is very easy to raise. As long as there is food, it will be fine. We will cover all the feeding and other expenses, so you don't need to worry."
Luo Shimiao glanced at the skinny, hungry little green bird and said, "Alright, I'll take care of it for a while. As for the cost, we can afford to keep one bird."
"Our show ends in three days. If this silly bird isn't better by then, am I supposed to take it back to Kyoto?"
Wang Bin: "Um... let's check on Xiao Lü's condition in three days. If it's better, we'll take it back."
The two gave Luo Shimiao a lesson on how to raise parrots, obtained her information, and then left to get her the necessary permits.
Shortly after they left, Gu Nian and Luo Jianxing returned from outside. Gu Nian was carrying a supermarket shopping bag filled with groceries, while Luo Jianxing was carrying an elegant tote bag.
Luo Jianxing's eyes lit up when he saw the little green thing on the table: "A lunch snack? But it's too small."
Luo Shimiao looked at Luo Jianxing as if he were an idiot.
Live stream chat, bullet comments.
— [Eat it, it looks like torture!]
—【Hmm, the brand name on Third Brother's tote bag looks familiar. Oh, I remember now, it's a brand that specializes in men's underwear. Haha, Third Brother went to buy underwear.】
— [He must have been surfing the internet, saw netizens criticizing his underwear, and then went and bought new underwear.]
——【#LuoJianxingFlowerUnderwear# is in the top three trending topics, it's hard to miss it hahaha.】
Luo Jianxing put down what he was holding and picked up Xiao Lü with two fingers.
Luo Shimiao: "What are you doing!"
Why are you so nervous? I'm just taking a look.
Little Green stared at Luo Jianxing with her big, beady eyes and called out, "Handsome guy, handsome guy." She even whistled.
"Hey, this little gadget is quite interesting."
Gu Nian, having put his things away, walked over and saw the bird without "clothes," raising an eyebrow: "Little Green?"
"Super handsome guy." Little Green heard Gu Nian's voice and tried to flap its wings, but because it was weak, it didn't have the strength to lift them.
Luo Shimiao rolled her eyes. Calling her that makes her a wicked woman, an idiot, a moron, and calling them that makes them handsome guys? Ha! She's seen through them now.
"That's right, it's that silly bird."
Gu Nian: "How did it get here? Is this a new task from the production team?"
"No." Luo Shimiao recounted what had happened.
Looking at the two people and the bird, Gu Nian felt a throbbing pain in his temples, as if he could already imagine the days to come. He took out his phone, opened a search engine, and searched for the world's best noise-isolating headphones.
"Ding-dong." Director He sent a message in the group.
"To all couples, today is your one-year anniversary. The production team has prepared a sumptuous candlelight dinner for you, as well as evening gowns and makeup artists. Dinner time: 7:30 pm tonight, venue: backyard lawn."
Luo Shimiao: "Is the production team trying to mess with us again? Last time, the Catwoman costume almost strangled me to death."
The elevator doors opened with a "ding".
"Teachers, these are your formal attire for tonight."
The staff delivered two large boxes to the two people, their task completed, and then turned and entered the elevator.
Luo Shimiao opened the box with her name on it, saw the dress inside, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
This dress is a bit...
