Cheng Mingxing went to the hair salon this morning for a wash, cut, and blow-dry. When she came out, her long hair had been curled into big curls by the stylist, revealing her mature charm.

To make herself look less dull, she also changed her earrings and necklace to more feminine ones.

As a restaurant manager, Cheng Mingxing’s appearance is undoubtedly outstanding. She spends a lot of money and effort on skin care. People who don’t know her real age, would think she is only in her early twenties.

Cheng Mingxing came here today, dressed up meticulously. She wore a black dress with a circle of small pearls at the neckline, which was both pretty and sexy. The part she is most satisfied with is her calves, so every skirt in her wardrobe was above the knee, making sure to show off her slender, white calves.

She was wearing a pair of black peep-toe high heels that a friend had just sent back from abroad. The long, thin straps of the same color were tied around her ankles and tied in a bow at the back, making her legs look even slimmer. The black color also made her skin look whiter.

She had been fond of this brand of shoes for a long time, and had always had a prairie in her heart. This time, she finally got what she wanted and also caught up with the important time.

Cheng Mingxing tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and stood outside the large iron gate in her high heels, ringing the doorbell. A man’s low, lazy voice came. She put her face close to the display screen, the curve of her lips just right, a little more pretentious, a little less stiff. “Boss, it’s me.”

After a while, the iron gate opened.

Cheng Mingxing walked in carrying a small red package and a bag.

In the garden, on the tallest tree, the birds were chirping, here she comes, here she comes! Everyone was now united in their hatred for the enemy, casting aside all their grudges and hatred, and turning their heads in the same direction.

“Tsk tsk, did you see that? The neckline of her dress is much lower than last time.”

“I noticed. Shameless! She’s definitely trying to seduce the master!”

“How stupid! She’s exposing her biggest flaw. I don’t even want to see it. The master won’t like it.”

“Heh, who knows? I heard that humans have a lot of magical water, and drinking it will make babies and start a big family. If the woman’s bag is filled with water and she gives it to the master to drink, wouldn’t she become the mistress?”

“Chirp chirp chirp, this is so scary! We absolutely cannot let her succeed. Raise your hands if you don’t want her to be the Mistress!”

All the birds raised their claws.

Very good, passed unanimously.

The trick didn’t have to be new, as long as it was useful. So they quickly selected a candidate to carry out this mission. Success is imperative, it can only succeed, it must succeed.

A freckled bird stood proudly on the treetop, its eyes gleaming with calculation. When the time came, it took off from the spot, soaring out of the treetops and flying over the woman’s head, leaving behind a drop of gray and white bird dropping.

After completing this action, the freckled bird flew back to the treetops. It stood in a different position, proudly announcing to its fellow birds that its mission was complete.

The compatriots all gave encouraging looks. Well done!

Cheng Mingxing was completely unaware that she was being targeted by a flock of birds as a love rival, and even less aware that there was bird droppings in her hair. She walked joyfully into the villa’s lobby.

As soon as she entered, Cheng Mingxing nearly tripped over a rolling ball. She barely managed to stand against the wall, glancing at the ball as it rolled out the door, then at the man approaching her. Her breathing became a little disordered.

“Boss, this is…”

Chang Qin kicked the ball back, then kicked it onto the balcony. Instead of answering, he asked, “Did you bring the documents?”

Cheng Mingxing said she had it. She lowered her head to search her bag and noticed a gaze fixed on her. Her heartbeat quickened immediately. She felt that all the thought she put into this outfit was worth it.

After finding the document, Cheng Mingxing was about to speak when she heard a voice in her ear, “Mingxing, there’s a bird dropping on your head.”

“Huh? What?”

“Bird dropping.”

Chang Qin frowned in disgust. Even though he slept with the big black bird in his arms every day and scrubbed the dung sheet morning and night. Even though it was all bird droppings, similar in appearance, it wasn’t from the big black bird. He still couldn’t stand the sight of it.

After a moment of hesitation, Cheng Mingxing burst into laughter. “Boss, what are you talking about? How could there be a bird dropping on my head? Today isn’t April Fools’ Day. Why are you playing this joke on me?”

Chang Qin said, “Look in the mirror yourself.”

Cheng Mingxing still thought the man was joking. She went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. The smile on her face instantly froze, and her expression became as if she had eaten a fly.

There was indeed something that looked like bird droppings on her head. She quickly reached into her bag to get some tissues, pulled out several pieces of paper, and when she took it down, she saw that it was indeed bird droppings.

Cheng Mingxing was so angry that her hands were shaking. Why did she have to make a fool of herself at this moment?

Because of bird droppings, her mood was completely ruined. She wanted to pull out the bird that did the droppings and give it a good lesson, and ask if it was deliberately trying to harm her today.

Cheng Mingxing threw all the paper balls into the trash can, then took out a wet tissue and carefully wiped the area on her head many times. After that, she took out the perfume from her bag and sprayed it on her head.

That man has mysophobia, and she doesn’t want to be kicked out because of it.

In the bedroom, a big black bird was lying on the bay window and sleeping. A few rays of sunlight came in from the corner of the window, shining on its body without reservation. Every feather of the bird looked like it was carefully painted with golden paint.

Chang Qin opened the curtains a little, then leaned over slightly and took the baby bear from Black Bird’s arms.

His movements were very gentle, but they still startled the black bird.

At this time, a female voice came from outside the door, “Boss?”

Chen You turned over and stood up. Shit! My love rival is here, but I’m still sleeping soundly without any sense of vigilance. This is outrageous!

He tilted his head back, waiting for an explanation.

Chang Qin pushed back the few feathers that were raised on the black bird, and then they came up again, he pushed them back again, “Why are you staring at me?”

Chen You snorted and raised a bird’s claw towards the man like an empress dowager.

Chang Qin held the bird’s claw in one hand and hugged the black bird with the other hand, hugging it from the bird’s butt and letting the black bird lean against his chest, “Mingxing is the manager of the restaurant. She has been following me for a long time. There is nothing else.”

You think it’s nothing, but the people don’t necessarily be. Do you know what your employees call her in private? Lady Boss! Do they think I’m dead? Chen You’s anger faltered. Okay, he is indeed dead.

But even if he is dead, you can’t do that.

Chen You flew out from Chang Qin’s chest, flew in front of him, and looked at him at eye level. “da, da da da, da da da da da da da.”

Chang Qin’s focus is, “Can you xiao xiao xiao?”

There was a hint of sarcasm on his face as he spoke.

Chen You directly scratched the man with his claws, unwilling to leave claw marks on him, so he used only a slight force, just enough to scratch him. He yelled “da” and flew out the window.

Chang Qin pressed his temples. Bird language is truly a science.

Whether his wife is angry, acts like a spoiled child, says sweet nothings, acts irrationally, or has demands… no matter what it is, it’s “da” and he can’t understand it.

The birds in the garden were all looking into the living room through the balcony, waiting to see the woman get too embarrassed to stay and leave quickly.

Chen You was a dead bird. None of the birds here were dying, and they couldn’t see him, so he flew into the group and listened to his compatriots gossiping about Cheng Mingxing, saying she had a bad figure, that she walked with a hunchback, and that her perfume smelled bad.

The birds were so ferocious when they started gossiping that they criticized Cheng Mingxing for a while, and then they started talking about the master, saying that something was wrong with him these days, as he bought a lot of food, toys and other things for the birds, and it seemed that he is going to raise birds.

I really want to be favored by the master, live in the beautiful cage he bought, drink the sweet water he poured, eat the fat insects he fed me, sleep in his big house, listen to him talk, and see him smile.

If the master is willing to teach me something, I will definitely work hard to learn it and I will definitely be able to learn it all.

In short, they all look very smug.

Chen You shook his head as he watched. Crazy, crazy, crazy! These nympho birds are already in a state of paranoia. Fortunately, no one could see him yet, otherwise they would definitely rush up and fight him to the death.

WTF, the lineup of his love rivals is large.

Chen You flew out because he was afraid that Chang Qin would bring him out if he was at home, but that Mingxing wouldn’t be able to see him, which would be bad.

My wife is just a stinky bird, nevertheless a stinky bird that has been dead for a long time. Anyone would collapse. Even if Chang Qin were not a human, he would probably be greatly shocked.

Chen You felt that the birds were too noisy, so he stood in a place with stronger wind to blow away the smell on his body. It was hard for his man, but the smell of his body now was not body odor, it was many times worse than body odor.

The stench is indescribable. People who work in the morgue can adapt to it, but others can’t.

“Old 4, do you have any deodorants?”

Chen You asked the system. He remembered that his kindness value had increased a lot, so he didn’t have to worry about it for the time being. As for why he obtained it, he didn’t know.

System said, “You have dead air, and no product can remove it.”

Chen You asked anxiously, “What should I do? Are you going to let me stink like this forever?”

System said, “Didn’t you say you were truly in love? What are you afraid of?”

“It must be true love! The man can recognize me in this dead appearance of me.” Chen You sighed, “Do you know that when I turn over in bed while sleeping, I am woken up by my own body odour.”

System said, “That’s perfect. When you wake up, go pee or poop so you don’t end up soil the bed.”

Chen You, “…”

System is like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. It has the attitude of, if I can’t survive, none of you can survive either. It is very dangerous. Not sure what stimulated it.

He changed his tone, adding something to the inspirational chicken soup the other party had given him last time, “Old 4, life is full of twists and turns. It doesn’t matter if the path is difficult. As long as you persevere, you will achieve victory and reach the end.”

System said, “Your man won’t give it.”

Chen You was pecking at a leaf, and didn’t quite catch what was said, “What thing?”

System said it was nothing, then after a moment’s silence, said, “You’re dead, that’s why you stink. Go to the cemetery and see who doesn’t stink.”

The word cemetery painted a truly unpleasant picture. Chen You was quite timid, and felt a bit apprehensive. He asked a crucial question, “Will I rot then?”

System said, “Pray.”

Duh, it’s the same method again. My man has the big golden man. With him around, I won’t be trapped. Chen You prayed in his heart, hoping that the Almighty Lord would bless him and his man and not let the big golden man shrink or melt.

In the living room, Cheng Mingxing was talking to the man about something on a document, about the planning of a branch. When she noticed him looking at the balcony for the third time, she couldn’t help but ask, “Does the boss have a bird?”

The sofa and the floor were covered in bird toys. A faint smell of bird feed wafted from the balcony. She was familiar with it. She knew without even looking that there must be a birdcage and some bird supplies there. No wonder the man had asked about the myna last time.

Chang Qin’s eyes fell on the document. “Hmm.”

Cheng Mingxing understood. She inadvertently skimmed the man’s pants and found a black feather on them. It was from a black bird. “A myna?”

Chang Qin acquiesced.

Cheng Mingxing seized on this topic to lighten the mood. She recounted some interesting anecdotes about her and her family’s myna. She noticed not only bird feathers on the man’s legs but also a few on his chest. She was slightly surprised and said, “Boss, myna birds have quirky personalities. When you buy it back and raise it, you can’t spoil it too much, otherwise it’ll climb all over you.”

Chang Qin threw the documents aside, “It’s okay. I like to pamper him.”

Cheng Mingxing’s gaze froze. After a moment’s thought, she asked, “Boss, did you buy a young bird?”

Only when a young bird is bought will its owner hold it in his arms and be reluctant to let go.

Chang Qin thought of the black bird, very fat and several years old. No, that person is always eighteen years old. “It’s not a young bird.”

Cheng Mingxing found it odd that it wasn’t a young bird. The boss bought it from somewhere and seemed to like it very much. “Where is it? Why don’t I see it?”

Her myna bird is quite clever and always loves to be around people. Whenever someone comes, it stretches its neck and calls out, “Welcome,” “Have tea,” “Hello,” “Goodbye,” and it knows a lot of things to say. Whether anyone talks to it or not doesn’t affect its cute behavior.

Seeing the man didn’t answer, Cheng Mingxing stood up, “Is it on the balcony? I’ll go check it out.”

Chang Qin said not there. “He was out playing because he wanted to have fun.”

Cheng Mingxing turned her head suddenly, her face filled with shock, “Boss, you let that myna out which you just bought? It’s over! It won’t come back.”

Chang Qin sipped his tea calmly, “He will come back.”

Cheng Mingxing was incredulous. As far as she knew, newly bought birds weren’t acclimated yet and could only be kept in cages. Once they had adapted to their new home and were no longer afraid or resistant, they could be let out with the doors and windows closed to let them fly around the house. However, they could never be released outside.

The myna the boss bought is so amazing! Cheng Mingxing was eager to see it for herself, “What breed of myna did the boss buy?”

Chang Qin raised his eyebrows. “What breed? I don’t know. It’s just that the smell is very strong. No matter what I wash with, it won’t be removed immediately.”

Cheng Mingxing, “…”

She thought about her own myna. It didn’t have much of a scent. Could it be some breed she had never heard of? “Boss, when will your myna come back? I want to see it.”

Chang Qin said, “Next time.”

Cheng Mingxing seemed to have just remembered something. She reached for the bag she had brought in, “Oh, that’s right. Boss, my ma made a lot of rice dumplings, filled with bacon and egg yolk. She asked me to bring these to you, saying I’d caused you a lot of trouble here. Thank you for taking care of me.”

Chang Qin showed no expression.

Cheng Mingxing’s face froze, and she laughed dryly, “It’s just a dozen or so dumplings, not a very expensive item. My family is very grateful to the boss for his appreciation of me.”

Chang Qin thought of that foodie and accepted it.

Not long after, Cheng Mingxing left with her bag saying, “Boss, the restaurant’s fifteenth anniversary is coming up in a few days. Don’t forget.”

So far, the development today is pretty good.

But when Chang Qin came out, Chen You flew into his arms, and that is when Cheng Mingxing who had dropped a lipstick came back. Things didn’t go well after that.

Chen You couldn’t just disappear on the spot. He heard Cheng Mingxing say she’d left something behind, and then she said, “Boss, next time I come, I hope to see your myna. I have a specialization for teaching myna…”

Chang Qin’s expression was strange, “You can’t see it?”

Chen You trembled slightly.

Cheng Mingxing didn’t understand, “Huh? What?”

Chang Qin lifted the black bird in his arms and said, “Myna.”

A large black mass like that—normally, anyone with eyesight would have seen it. However, Cheng Mingxing looked around, puzzled, “No, it’s not there! What’s going on? Did that myna fly back?”

With his head tucked in, Chen You trembled like an abandoned bird.

Chang Qin said no more. After Cheng Mingxing left, he closed the door and stared expressionlessly at the big black bird squatting on the ground, shielding its face with its claws.

After a while, Chang Qin spoke in a hoarse voice, “What’s going on? Are you dead?”

Hearing the voice above his head, Chen You was really speechless.

Chang Qin squatted down and forcibly pushed the black bird’s claws away. He gently lifted the bird’s head and made it look at him, “Speak.”

Chen You choked up. What do you want me to say, da da? You wouldn’t understand me even if I told you. Besides, you already guessed it, right? Dead. I’m a dead bird.

The room suddenly became quiet, almost dead silent.

Chang Qin’s nose was filled with a foul odor. His pupils suddenly constricted, and his expression darkened terribly. “I should have thought of this earlier…”

It’s not the scent of birds, it’s the smell of dead air.

Chen You was held in the man’s hand, his head drooping, looking pitiful, as if he was afraid of being disliked.

System said that all the dead have that smell, and it can’t be removed. He feel sorry for his man.

Seeing black bird’s sadness, Chang Qin sighed. He wanted all, dead or alive, human or ghost. “Don’t hide anything from me in the future.”

Chen You thought to himself, I don’t want to hide it either! There are so many restrictions when playing a mission. A flash of light flashed through his mind, and he immediately flew out of the man’s hand, turned a corner and flew to the study, calling out “da da da” all the time.

Chang Qin suspected he was about to turn on the computer, so he did that. Then he saw the black bird standing on the table, poking at the keyboard with one claw.

“You want to type?”

Chen You nodded, yes, yes, I wonder if it’s possible.

Chang Qin held the mouse and opened Word, making room for Black bird to see what it could type.

For a bird, claws are both hands and feet. Chen You wasn’t a natural bird, but it happened later. He was unskilled and didn’t know how many uses his claws had. Yet, he didn’t find it difficult at all to poke the characters.

【I am not a myna, I am a big black bird, a variety】

Chang Qin’s mouth twitched when he saw this sentence appear on the blank page. A Big black bird? And this breed? He had recently bought a lot of bird books, but he had never seen any information regarding raising this species.

When one of Chen You’s claws got tired, he switched to the other, poking randomly at the keyboard like a golden rooster, the phrase “I’m a dead bird, I can see dead people, and dying ones too,” poke one and erased one, until finally there was nothing left, the limit appeared.

At the end of the poking, Chen You poked the emoji and made a kissing emoji, and poked two words next to it: muah muah.

Chang Qin’s facial lines softened instantly, and an impulse surged through his body. Just as that impulse urged him to do something, he saw a soft mass in front of the computer, and immediately a basin of melted ice water was poured over him, and his three souls and six spirits returned to their places.

Pinching his eyebrows, Chang Qin held the black bird in his arms, stroked its feathers, and kissed it on the head.

Feeling the urge, Chen You leaned forward, honey, can we kiss?

Chang Qin looked at the black bird’s beak. It was long and sharp enough to peck him until he bled. He simply reached out and brushed it aside, striding out with his long legs. “Wait until you become a spirit.”

Chen You, “…”

This is too much. Making such a request is simply unreasonable!

He was so angry that he squatted on the table and sulked to himself for a while, then went to find the man and flew over his head. I’m going to make a scene!

Chang Qin patted the black bird’s tail soothingly, “Be good.”

Chen You snorted, scuffling the man’s hairs in a hideous mess. Can’t do it until he becomes spirit? People should still be brave enough to try new things, so that they can improve, make further progress, and take it up to a notch.

Ai, you don’t even have this idea. I’m so disappointed in you.

In the afternoon, Chang Qin was going to the restaurant, but Chen You was being willful, refusing to stay at home and insisting on following him. Chang Qin opened the car door, and the black bird flew in and squatted on the passenger seat. He said, “If you can fasten your seat belt yourself, I will take you out.”

Chen You’s beak twitched. Fastening is fastening.

Damn it, the seatbelt has a grudge against him. He tried to grab it with his claws several times, but couldn’t get it out. I’m so tired, I’m not playing anymore.

Chang Qin watched black bird stretch out its two claws and begin to lie flat on its back. This action has been done countless times over the years, and even after transforming into a bird, it remained unchanged. His face darkened a little. He sat in the car, feeling both amused and helpless. He lightly fastened it around black bird. “Be good, and don’t fly around in the car.”

Chen You immediately perked up and stayed in his seatbelt obediently.

Restaurants don’t have days off, they’re open all the time. While other businesses are idle on weekends, restaurants are at their busiest.

Cheng Mingtian is a handsome youngster, always smiling and cheerful. Wherever he goes, he radiates light. The restaurant’s patrons love him, and the staff are eager to get close to him.

Between people, visuals are the first communication.

In a society where looks are everything, having good looks means you have a head start, there’s no comparison.

After Cheng Mingtian finished serving drinks to a table of guests, he turned and saw the man coming in. His eyes suddenly lit up, and the depression from working overtime on the weekend disappeared. “Hello, boss.”

Chang Qin walked up to the second floor without stopping and entered his office. A big black bird stood on his shoulder, and no one noticed him the entire time.

The office is large, clean, and meticulously planned. It’s easy to tell that anyone working there has both obsessive-compulsive disorder and mysophobia.

Chang Qin rolled up his sleeves and started working on his computer. “You play by yourself.”

Chen You was flying around the office, but soon he didn’t want to fly anymore. He lay on the man’s lap, and the smell satisfied his craving.

As Chen You sniffed, his mouth began drooling, wondering when they could play together again.

Ai, greedy to the point of sadness.

Cheng Mingtian looked up from downstairs. After a while, he saw the man coming down. According to his observation, every time he came, he would have a drink at the bar before leaving, “Boss, what would you like to drink?”

Chang Qin sat down on the high chair, “One fruit pudding cake, and go across the street and buy me a strawberry bubble milk tea and ten donuts.”

He then said, “Let the pianist take a break and play 《Nunchucks》.”

Cheng Mingtian and the two female employees beside him were completely bewildered. It must be an illusion.

Chang Qin tapped the table.

A few people regained their composure and gave orders with frightened hearts.

Soon, a fast-paced song filled the restaurant. It was so fast that people could only hear it singing, not what it was about, but it was pretty good.

Chen You listened happily, his claws still tapping the man’s legs. If he could speak, he would definitely say these words, “Come together—”

The customers didn’t mind, it was a refreshing change of pace.

Cheng Mingxing came over and wanted to ask why the music had changed, but when she noticed the man’s lips curled up, she held back. He seemed to be in a good mood, perhaps because of this song?

She simply asked something else, “Boss, we’re out of fruit pudding cake. Is chocolate cake okay?”

Chang Qin lowered his head, and Chen You flew up and pecked his ear. Chocolate is fine, as long as it’s cake.

The black bird pecked once and didn’t stop, as if it was addicted. Chang Qin’s forehead twitched, and he picked up the black bird and put it on his leg and held it down.

The restaurant’s guests, employees, and the Cheng siblings who had been paying attention all thought the man had an itchy shoulder, so he reached out and scratched it, not thinking there was anything wrong.

Chen You lay on the man’s legs for a while, then stood up and scratched with his claws to his favorite rhythm, quickly use the Nunchucks, heng heng ha xi~.

Chang Qin warned in a low voice, “Don’t move.”

Cheng Mingtian, who happened to be nearby, blinked innocently and said, “Boss, I didn’t move.”

The next moment, his eyes widened. Damn, no way, why is it hard?

The others noticed it too, and they all turned their backs silently.

The boss must have been holding it in for too long, even the air can make him hard.

However, the boss is the boss, he is truly amazing and others are absolutely far behind him.

Cheng Mingtian swallowed his saliva, his mind filled with the image of him being pinned to the ground by the man.

Cheng Mingxing blushed and was afraid of being seen by her colleagues, so she quickly went to the bathroom.

Chang Qin sat there with a gloomy expression. He turned over the black bird on his leg that was cramping from laughing and spanked its butt.

Monkey business.

Chen You regretted laughing right away. He lay down to hide it from others, but he was dead, so the people in the restaurant couldn’t see him.

Damn, my big baby is being seen by others like this. Chen You’s chest hurts.

He glanced at the boy not far away. No doubt imagining something, and the object might be his man.

It is pissing me off! Chen You flew over and farted at the boy.

The man usually focused on one person. It rose like a tidal wave, but went down with difficulty.

He was different from an ordinary person, too huge in feature, and he couldn’t get up, so he just sat there, drinking cup after cup of water to calm down.

Chen You didn’t dare to get any closer, so he just stood at the counter, taking a bite of the cake every once in a while. His bites were so small that no one could see them unless they looked closely.

The sun slowly sets, night falls, and the lights of M City dim.

Zhang Zhi had been hanging around outside the restaurant for several hours when he saw a well-dressed man come out.

Just as he was about to look away, he caught sight of the youngster, looking at the man with a familiar glint in his eyes.

Zhang Zhi’s anger surged, burning his bones. Unable to control himself, he walked over and dragged the boy out of the restaurant and into a corner.

“Mingtian, you won’t contact me. Is it because of that man just now?”

Cheng Mingtian admitted openly, “Yes.”

The anger on Zhang Zhi’s face froze for a moment, “I’m not good?”

“You’re fine.” Cheng Mingtian watched the man leave and licked his lips. “That one’s better.”

Zhang Zhi spat, grabbed the boy by the collar, and pulled him under his nose, “Playing with LaoZi, huh?”

Cheng Mingtian wasn’t afraid either, and said smiling brightly. “It was just a hook up. We agreed on this from the beginning. Zhang Zhi, could it be that you’ve fallen in love with me?”

Zhang Zhi’s expression changed over and over again, and he threw the boy away like trash, “Bah! A piece of crap. LaoZi would be crazy to like it.”

Cheng Mingtian steadied himself, “Crap?”

Zhang Zhi had a smile on his face, “Isn’t it you.”

“MF!”

Cheng Mingtian yelled out a curse and rushed over to hit Zhang Zhi. The two men scuffled, and it was only after a passerby reported them that they were pulled apart.

Cheng Mingtian limped, “Zhang Zhi, don’t let me see you again.”

Staring fiercely at the boy’s back, Zhang Zhi spat the cigarette onto the ground and stepped on it with his shoe. It’s not over yet, Cheng Mingtian, we’re not done yet.

Inside the apartment, Cheng Mingxing had just poured herself a glass of red wine when she heard a knock on the door. She went to check the surveillance camera and saw a bruised face.

After opening the door, Cheng Mingxing asked bluntly, “Mingtian, you, how did it happen, hmm?”

“Your face and body are like this, who did you fight with?”

“I’m asking you a question!”

Cheng Mingtian pulled at the corner of his bruised mouth, “Jie, I got beaten up by some jerk. Now I’m afraid to go home. I’m afraid my ba will beat me up, and my ma will drown me in her saliva. Can I stay with you for a few days?”

Cheng Mingxing frowned, “Come in.”

She rented this apartment, which has three bedrooms, a living room, a master bedroom, a second bedroom, and a study, so it is enough for one more person to live there.

Cheng Mingxing made the bed in the second bedroom, “Mingtian, you’ll be a senior in the second half of the year. Don’t keep messing around and making your parents worry.”

Cheng Mingtian sat on the sofa in his shorts and disinfected himself, “I’m not messing around.”

Cheng Mingxing came over and said, “I saw you flirting with a guy when I got off work last night. You guys…”

Bang! Cheng Mingtian threw the iodine tincture in his hand onto the coffee table, “Jie, I’m only staying here for a few days. Why are you asking so many questions? Are you going to find out everything then call my ma to complain?”

What he said sounded sarcastic and anyone who heard it would feel uncomfortable.

Cheng Mingxing was so angry that her face turned green, and she went back to her room without saying a word.

Cheng Mingtian wiped his face and grimaced in pain. He said that on purpose because he didn’t want to turn the page of Zhang Zhi.

From the moment the other party hit him, it was over.

One tends to dream during the night of what one thinks of during the day.

That night, Cheng Mingxing had a dream because of what she saw in the restaurant.

What happened in the dream is hard to talk about.

On the other side of the wall, Cheng Mingtian was also dreaming, and it was equally difficult to speak out.

They can only dream.

The Cheng siblings fell for the same man, but that man’s true love was a big black bird. All the monsters, demons, fairies, and monsters stood aside.

No one knows who is more tragic.

The two of them were looking forward to it, but at the same time they were afraid that their thoughts would be discovered and they would lose the opportunity to stay in the restaurant.

Chang Qin only went to the restaurant a few times a month. He was flipping through a book on the balcony. “Birds make a lot of sounds, why do you only say ‘da da’?”

Chen You pecked at the bird chest’s feathers, don’t know, ask the heavens and the earth.

Chang Qin took notes, writing down things to pay attention to when raising birds. After writing for a while, he asked, “Would you like some watermelon?”

Dead Bird Chen nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, yes yes yes. It would be even better if it came out of the refrigerator!

“Don’t eat it cold, it will upset your stomach.”

Chang Qin guessed what his lover was thinking. He went to cut the watermelon in the kitchen and said, “Come and eat.”

Chen You flew over and stood beside a piece of melon, nibbling at the flesh. Chang Qin told him to eat slowly, “Don’t eat too much at once. You have a small stomach.”

Chen You kept pecking at it, and when only half of the watermelon was left, it was taken away.

Being a bird is so pitiful, even eating a watermelon is confiscated.

He lay on the table, pretending to be dead.

Chang Qin patted black bird and poked his bulging belly with his finger, “Wife, when would you become a human, hmm?”

Every word is filled with forbearance.

Chen You rolled his eyes. Don’t you have a big golden man? Go find it quickly!

The man did not remove his hand from the black bird.

Dead Bird Chen was startled. Fuck, don’t act recklessly! If you dare mess with me, I, I, I, I’ll die in front of you!

“Why are you trembling? I’m checking your feathers to see if there are any tangles.”

Chang Qin flicked the black bird’s beak. “Please become a human soon. I miss you so much.”

These words were like a tight ring around his neck, spinning around in Chen You’s head.

He went to the garden to enjoy the cool air and to pray.

A little yellow bird was searching for insects in the grass when it suddenly spotted a big black bird. It chirped, “Who are you? Why didn’t I see you?”

Chen You was stunned and looked at the little yellow bird. Bird bruh, you won’t live long.

The little yellow bird found a small insect, pecked it in its beak and ate it, then jumped around saying, “Open fire.”

God knows from where it learned.

Chen You sighed and chattered with the little yellow bird, “XiongDi, do you know how much I want to fire cannons with my man?”

“I can’t bear to hear the word ‘cannon’. When I hear it, I can’t help but want to find a bird, ugh, find my man.”

The little yellow bird flew over the bushes and asked, “Your man?”

Chen You boasted, “It’s the master of this house.”

The little yellow bird showed disdain, “Shame on you! The master belongs to everyone.”

Chen You, “…”

He knew from the black bird’s memory that birds reproduce by one stepping on the back of another, which takes as little as a dozen seconds or as long as a few minutes.

He wonders what will happen if he steps on Chang Qin’s back.

The little yellow bird chirped for a while, then flew off into the woods ahead, saying it was going to find its Gege, who had some delicious food.

Chen You leaned against the tree branch when he suddenly heard a gunshot.

He flew over and saw a car in the distance. Two men were hunting and the little yellow bird was lying in a pool of blood, dead.

Chang Qin in the study had also heard the gunshots. He ordered, “You can go to the garden and fly around the villa, but you are not allowed to fly out.”

In the end, the next day, Chen You flew out.

He is a bird, and his pursuit of the blue sky and freedom is innate and instinctive.

When Chen You flew back, the living room was dark and the lights were off. He smelled a strong smell of smoke.

It’s over, I’m in trouble.

Chen You called out, “da da.”

The man’s hoarse, muddy voice echoed in the darkness, “I told you not to fly out, why didn’t you listen?”

Chen You thought, I am a bird. I have no choice. I cannot control my flying pace.

The man’s voice rang out again, “If you don’t obey me, I’ll put you in a cage.”

Chen You shuddered, followed the sound and found the man, flew over him, acted coquettishly, acted cute, and rolled around. He did everything, but it was useless.

This time he flew out secretly and really pissed off the man.

Chang Qin, a human, couldn’t trace the flying bird. He spent the entire day in trepidation, his mind filled with the thought of the black bird’s accident.

There was a taste of blood in his throat, and his voice was trembling and extremely abnormal, “If you die outside…”

Chen You quickly patted the man with his claw, it’s okay, it’s okay, don’t be afraid, I’m already dead, they can’t see me.

Even if I’m unlucky and run into a hunting party and a dying man spots me, I won’t stand there and be shot. I’ll fly away.

The man suddenly laughed, “I will destroy the world.”

Chen You was terrified, frozen in fear. Fuck! What the hell is wrong with you? It would be boring to play on such a large scale. Okay!

Really! You have been so crazy since the first time I met you, and you are still the same now.

Chang Qin smiled and said, “Just listen to me, okay?”

Okay, okay, I will be obedient. In order to express his attitude, Chen You moved his long and pointed bird beak to kiss him.

Chang Qin hissed, his mouth was broken.

After that night, Chen You could no longer go out alone, Chang Qin had to be with him.

He felt melancholy, wishing he could become a human, even if it was only for one night, or one morning, or one afternoon.

Never mind, an hour is fine too, really.

Chen You couldn’t find the system. He tried several times but only got an automatic reply. The scariest part was that the automatic reply used to be, “Busy. If you have any questions, please leave a message after the ding.”

Now it’s change to pray.

Chen You felt that the system wasn’t as simple as an endocrine disorder, it was most likely to be poisoned, just like in the previous world.

It’s probably related to his man. He likes the way the system gnashes its teeth at his man, but can’t do anything about it.

Chen You flew to the kitchen and found the outrageous, lawless man making soup for him, his favorite big bone soup.

He resisted the urge to kiss him.

On the night of full-moon, Chen You flew to the garden, stood on a tree, adjusted the angle, and struck a pose to gaze up at the starry sky.

Big black bird, transformation!
