Chapter 2: Pampering and Vanity 1
“Boom boom boom—”
It felt like something was knocking on the glass outside. I got up from the bed and opened the window on the balcony. The fresh air in the early morning instantly woke up my brain which had been sleeping all night.
"Chijiji-chi-chi-chi"
“Chirp—Chirp—”
Two plump sparrows flew around my head without any fear, and then chirped in my ears, one on the left and one on the right, as if they were saying something to me - but I couldn't understand anything...
Oh, by the way... Abaibai said that if it wasn’t by my side, I wouldn’t be able to understand what animals say... It’s a bit troublesome.
"Good morning, Xiaoduo!"
Probably hearing the sound of me getting up, Abaibai slowly walked from his nest at the door to my side, yawned, and stretched.
"Good morning--" I squatted down, touched Abaibai's head, and then held it in my arms.
"Good morning, good morning. So your name is Xiaoduo?"
"Good morning, Xiaoduo. Where's our Xiaomi?"
“And mealworms.”
“And raisins.”
"We can live with a double portion of bread crumbs without that."
"Yes, as long as it's not steamed bread slices."
…
Two little birds flapped their wings around me. Although they still sounded like chirping, strangely, I could understand the meaning of their calls.
Abaibai is indeed the messenger of the pet god, with super powers that I cannot understand...
But why didn't the previous owner treat it well?
I thought of the boy in the cow costume I met last night, and a feeling of doubt came over me.
"You are making so much noise! I'm going to bite you!" Abaibai was in my arms, baring his teeth at the two little sparrows angrily.
"I really want to thank you guys for yesterday. Wait a minute, I'll be there soon!" Because so many things happened last night, my brain was a little malfunctioning. With the reminder of the two little birds, the experiences of yesterday came back to my mind like a tide.
I turned around and went downstairs to get bird feed mixed with egg yolks, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot to prepare it, but I took the highest quality bird feed, is it okay for you? I will definitely prepare it next time..."
I put a small dish of bird feed on the window eaves. The two little guys took a look and immediately buried their heads in the food without saying a word.
You should be...satisfied, right?
"Xiaoduo, your classmates are here to see you!" Mom shouted downstairs.
Classmate? Who will come to see me?
I leaned my head out of the window and was surprised to see Master Lu Zhan standing downstairs in my house. He raised his head and gave me a smile that was brighter than the morning sun.
He was wearing the school's black uniform, with his schoolbag lazily carried in his hands. He looked like a collection . Even when he was standing under a telephone pole covered with small advertisements, his perfect and elegant temperament was not diminished.
I was stunned for three seconds, nodded at him quickly, and then calmly closed the window.
Three seconds later, I failed!
Ahh ...
Why would you smile at me and say hello downstairs of my house?
The key is! I didn’t even comb my hair or wash my face! I greeted the master with this face that was swollen like a pig’s head after sleeping all night!
Ahhhhh——Xiao Xiaoduo! Are you an idiot?
I covered my face and screamed silently.
The fact was set, and there was no point in being upset. Thinking that the great god was waiting for me, I finished everything at a very fast speed, and Abaibai walked me to the stairs.
"Abaibai, if I don't go home, you must not go out on the street alone, and you must not play with cats in the pet hospital downstairs, especially... don't go with your perverted former owner. If you encounter danger, tell my parents, they will protect you!" I carried my schoolbag and warned Abaibai seriously.
"Actually... I... he is not..." Abaibai looked around, looking absent-minded.
"Xiaoduo - hurry up, don't let the male classmates wait for you too long!" My mother was downstairs, deliberately emphasizing the word "male classmates" and urged me in a strange voice.
"I'm coming!" I replied, and then worriedly repeated to A Baibai, "Remember, don't go out, stay away from your former master!"
Only after getting Abaibai's nod did I feel at ease and go downstairs.
Downstairs is my family’s pet clinic and shop.
"Xiaoduo, that boy——" As soon as she got downstairs, her mother, who was wearing a pink nurse uniform, pulled down her mask and smiled brightly, "He's very handsome. Why should he wait for you to go to school together?"
"Who? He wants to go to school with my Xiaoduo. I'm going to meet him first!" The father in a white coat and a big beard looked super fierce. He rushed out with a syringe for pets. The blood marks on his face caused by the cat's scratches made him look even more visually impactful.
"Go back and give the cat an injection. Why are you joining in the fun?" Mom twisted Dad's ear and dragged him into the injection room. Before closing the door, she winked at me and said, "Xiaoduo, he's very handsome. Come on—"
I didn't have time to explain a single word from beginning to end, so I could only pull my skirt and walk out of the clinic door.
