Chapter 1398: Making a Choice

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhang Zian saw the deep and heart-wrenching feelings between the mother and the child, and he felt sympathy for them, so he took the initiative to help the young man deal with the problem of this grey parrot.

In addition… He’d always felt that this gray parrot may be related to his constant sneezing. Maybe he was allergic to parrots? However, there were two or three ordinary parrots in his own pet store. How could it be that he was fine there?

The young man glanced up. “Sorry to trouble you…”

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t have anything to do anyway.” Zhang Zian opened his WeChat. “Add me as a friend. I will inform you of the process and results. If you feel unsatisfied, you can always come back and get it.”

“Thank you so much.”

The young man was really out of options. Just a few hours after he’d left home, his mother had almost lost her way. If someone helped him deal with the grey parrot, it would be much better.

After adding him as a friend, Zhang Zian took over the birdcage and arranged the black cloth outside to avoid being seen by other people on the road carrying a grey parrot.

“Little Purple… Yellow Pea Cake…” the older woman muttered at the birdcage.

“Mom, this parrot is not a Little Purple or Yellow Pea Cake. Let’s go home first. I will take time to go to other pet shops to find you something else,” the young man said softly, trying to persuade her.

Zhang Zian interjected, “Well… If you want to buy a certain kind of parrot, it is best to go to a professional aviary. There are not many parrots in general pet shops.”

“An aviary?”

“Well, I remember that the city of Binhai seems to have one, but I can’t seem to remember the name… Do go back and check it out online,” Zhang Zian suggested. “When you go, tell the breeder what parrot you want. Be clear, or simply go with your mother and let her choose.”

“Okay, thank you.” The young man nodded gratefully. “I only knew that there was a breeder for cats. I didn’t know that there was an equivalent for birds as well. After I go back home, I will check it out… Now, I will head home.”

“Bye-bye.”

Zhang Zian waved goodbye to him.

Looking at the young man supporting the older woman as they disappeared into the depths of the alley, Zhang Zian felt that Zhuang Xiaodie might have been left out of the entire situation. He decided to deliberately start a conversation with her. “Have you seen a grey parrot? This type of parrot is very big and often only seen in the zoo. Do you want to see?”

With that, he picked up the corner of the black cloth and let her watch the gray parrot.

The grey parrot’s little black eyes turned and looked for the light. It stared at Zhuang Xiaodie and suddenly cried, “Same sex, true love! The opposite sex, future generations! You two, no play!”

Zhang Zian listened, quickly let down the black cloth, smiled, and said, “This parrot… I don’t know who taught it, but its mouth should be taped up.”

Zhuang Xiaodie had already seen that this grey parrot was the elfin named Richard. However, it was only when the black cloth, which was covering the cage, was pulled away did she realize this. It was already too late. If she had known earlier, she would have found ways to prevent it from approaching Zhang Zian.

“You are going to take it…” she said.

“As I said before, I will take it back and call the Wildlife Bureau or the zoo and ask them to receive it.” He added that this was also a normal process.

She nodded and asked no further questions. This parrot, besides its mouth, could not possibly cause much trouble. She would quickly find a way to encourage Zhang Zian to send it away. Its ability had also been suppressed in the dream world. It could only speak a small number of words and short sentences. It could not say things that were as savage as what it said in reality.

As a result of the priest’s special reminder, Zhang Zian often looked back while walking around with the birdcage. This was to prevent the black-and-white kitten behind him from being lost.

However, what he was afraid of would happen. After a long walk, he looked back and found that it was standing still, its eyes fixed on a remote alley next to him. Then, as if it had found something there, it crawled into the alley.

“Wait! Don’t run around!”

Zhang Zian shouted at it, but its movements were too fast, and it disappeared into the alley in the blink of an eye.

He stepped up to chase it, but his empty hand was being held by another soft, slippery hand.

Looking back, he saw that it was, of course, Zhuang Xiaodie who was holding him.

“It may be trying to find a companion. Just give it some freedom,” she said as her eyes turned from calm and indifferent to a little pitiful. “It is not even your cat. Other cats will at least allow you to touch them, but this one doesn’t even allow you to do that. You will not be able to properly raise this cat!”

Her voice was very earnest, almost begging. Her bright eyes were covered with thin water vapor, which made people feel pity for her.

For a girl with such a face and figure, few men could refuse to accept her plea. This was a world that worked in superficial signals.

Zhuang Xiaodie was the most perfect matchmaking object he had ever seen. He couldn’t even believe that he was holding hands with someone of this caliber.

Her appearance was dignified and beautiful, and her body was graceful and slim. She was also generous with her money and had actively paid the bill at the Teahouse in Hidden Fog. She was also quite reasonable and did not look down on his family background and the ordinary work that he did.

Such a wonderful girl—how many could he possibly find?

Someone who could pair with him so well was something that he’d never thought he would find. She brought joy to his family and the envy of those around them.

Since he’d met her, she had never explicitly asked him to do anything. Even if she hated cats, she had not forced him to drive the cat away.

Only this time had she asked for him not to chase the cat.

Only this time.

Among 100 people, at least 90 people would not hesitate to agree with her request. Nine of the remaining ten people may agree after weighing the pros and cons. The last one was either likely to be a fool or perhaps like men.

Her hand gripped his tighter, and a slight trembling came from her palm. “Let’s go back to the city center. I want to taste the food in Binhai. Do you have any recommendations? I want to go to the park to see the flowers. I want to go to the amusement park to take the Ferris wheel. I want to go to the Grand Theater to watch a movie. I want to go to the zoo to see the animals… I think… I want to be with you. Let.s go together. We will definitely be very happy!”

The travelers on the road saw this scene, heard her request, and shook their heads and sighed. They felt that this man was worthless to her. They didn’t think this man deserved to be with her. It was like a flower stuck in cow dung.

A proud, cool beauty had suddenly showed her weak side. It was enough to dazzle anyone. It was the same for Zhang Zian.

He temporarily put down the birdcage, clasped her hand with both of his, looked into her eyes, and said calmly, “It is really not my cat. Maybe, as you said, I will never raise it, no matter how hard I try. I may never get to touch its fur. However, my choosing to raise it is not to touch it. I bring it home because I like it. A like is a like. It does not mean that I have to get the same treatment in return.”

Then he gently broke free from her hand.
