Chapter 29
No Need to Go
“You should be the one asking!” Little Tiger complained silently. His words gave Yun Bao inspiration.
“Oh right! Could it be because Master taught me?”
Halfway through her sentence, Yunbao suddenly covered her mouth. She remembered that her master had told her not to be ostentatious. She turned around and was relieved to see that no one was around. She patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. She did not want to anger her master.
“What are you doing?” Little Tiger looked at Yunbao as if she was acting in a sitcom. One moment, she was afraid, and the next moment, she sighed. The expression on her face was very cute, so he wanted to tease her. “I heard everything you said!”
“Keep my secret, please!” Yunbao clasped her hands together. “Otherwise, I’ll take all your nuts!” It had to be said that Yunbao had her way of threatening birds. Xiaohu loved those nuts and had to bow his head. In fact, he was just teasing the child.
The first time he met Yunbao was two years ago. At that time, he had just escaped from his previous home and was flying around. However, it was winter and the weather was very cold. The ground was covered in snow, and there was nothing else on the branches except snow. The parrot, which had been hungry for a few days, did not even have the strength to fly. He landed on someone’s balcony and fainted.
“Mommy, save it!” The child’s immature voice fell into his ears. From then on, he gradually learned human language and could understand human language.
The little girl saved him and often fed him delicious food. Even if he hid far away, the little girl would still patiently wait for him to come out. When her hands were cold, she would rub them and hammer her legs until her legs were numb. She would only leave after watching the little parrot finish eating.
Later on, the parrot recovered from his injuries and the little girl’s mother disappeared. The girl was very sad, but she still decided to let him go. The parrot flew for a short distance before he saw the girl below and burst into tears. By the time he reacted, he had already flown back.
After that, the parrot accompanied the girl. He listened to the girl’s murmurings. Although he still had a grudge against humans, he accepted the girl and was very angry to see the girl being bullied. However, the power of a bird was ultimately insignificant until the day he saw the girl’s stepmother about to kill her. In a moment of desperation, he shouted for help.
He thought that he was just a tool for the girl to get rid of loneliness. He did not expect her to still think of him after returning to her loved ones’ sides.
The human and bird talked for a long time until it was dinner time before Yunbao left.
“Tomorrow is the weekend. Zizi, is there anywhere you want to go? Let Daddy bring us there!” Gu Lin had basically avoided Ye Yan for the past few days, making it impossible for Ye Yan to express her goodwill. It was not easy for her to see Gu Lin at the dining table. She wanted to use her daughter to get close to Gu Lin.
“I want to stay with Daddy forever!” Gu Zi was also especially excited. After knowing that her parents were getting a divorce, even though she knew that her mother had done something bad and let her sister’s father and stepmother in, Gu Zi was only a kindergarten child. Of course, she didn’t want her parents to be separated. She looked at Gu Lin with hopeful eyes.
“I’m going to the construction site tomorrow.” Gu Lin thought for a moment. There was an important building meeting tomorrow, and he had to be there.
Gu Zi was instantly disappointed. She wanted to cry, but when she thought of her conversation with her father, she held back her tears.
“It’s okay. Zizi will be obedient at home.”
Ye Yan was a little unhappy. If it was in the past, she would definitely flare up, but now, she could only silently endure it.
“Take the child with you. You can’t have a meeting all day,” Old Master Gu said. They were both his grandchildren, so how could he be biased? It was just that Gu Zi had been led astray by her mother previously. Fortunately, she had been much better recently. He could not stand his daughter-in-law’s education method, but he thought that this was their business. As the elder, he had no right to criticize her.
“Then come with me tomorrow.” Gu Lin nodded his head to give his permission. A smile immediately appeared on Gu Zi’s face.
“Sister Yunbao, come with us!” Gu Zi held Yunbao’s hand excitedly. When she passed by the garden just now, she saw Yunbao talking to the parrot. It must be because she was too bored at home. Gu Zi wanted to bring her out. It was easy to build a relationship between children.
“Gu Ming, do you want to go?” Old Master Gu asked Gu Ming.
To his surprise, he shook his head. “I have tutoring tomorrow. I’ll pass.” He wasn’t interested in getting involved in what was going on between his parents.
