Volume 2 Cold Dew Chapter 21 Pets

"I guess."

"So what?"

A drop of blood oozed out of Jiang You's palm.

It flapped its wings but did not fly. It turned its head to look at Liu Boyang with panic in its eyes. Its wings kept flapping, but it could not leave Jiang You's palm.

Liu Boyang rushed to Jiang You's side, and Sun Yu stood up and blocked him.

Jiujiu raised his head and let out a sharp cry.

Its body suddenly grew larger and its claws became sharper.

Resembling a large bird of prey.

Jiang You held its feet tightly.

"It, what have you done to it? Don't touch it, I will kill you, I will kill you all..." Liu Boyang struggled, and Sun Yu tried hard to control him.

"It's really cute." Jiang Youkong touched the fur on Jiujiu's head with his other hand.

"you……"

"Why did you commit suicide two years ago?"

Liu Boyang looked at Jiang You angrily.

"I'll finish asking questions sooner and go home earlier, right?"

"What are you going to do with it?"

"It depends on your answer."

Liu Boyang took a step back and sat down on the sofa .

"If I die, I won't have to think about anything," he smiled bitterly. "Wenjun told me that if I die, what will happen to my parents and what will Xixi think? I really want to tell him that if I die, I won't have to think about these things. I will be free. I won't know and I don't have to think about it. Everything has nothing to do with me."

"Yeah, you took sleeping pills in the office. If it succeeds and you die in the office, how will others go to work in the future?"

"I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to take a nap, so I took one pill. It didn't work. I took another one..."

"It would take a long time to save up enough sleeping pills to commit suicide."

Liu Boyang was silent.

"Do you want to make Yuwen-kun regret it?"

Liu Boyang's face suddenly turned red.

"According to what you said, if you die you won't know anything, so what's the point of him regretting it or not?"

Sun Yu’s voice interrupted, “What happened next?”

"Later, Wenjun returned the money I had paid to me, and I left the studio, but I didn't want to go back to the design institute. Xixi also left, and I felt..." Liu Boyang paused, "I had no meaning in living."

"I drove to a very far place, I got off the car, and wanted to find a tree. I searched for a long time. Some trees were too high to hang the rope on, and some were too irregular and ugly. I searched for a long time and found a suitable one. It was very tall, with neat branches and leaves, and the two sides of the crown were also symmetrical. I hung the rope on it, tied it, and then..."

"And what?"

"Then I saw it, it flew past me, and I thought it would be nice to see such a beautiful bird before I die. But the branch suddenly broke, and I fell. When I woke up, it was still beside me, looking at me. Later I found out its species, it was a coal tit..." Liu Boyang watched Jiujiu calm down in Jiang You's hands, "At that time, the morning sun fell through the leaves, and it flew up, with a circle of white on its dark gray wings. I suddenly burst into tears, but my heart became very calm."

“So you took it home.”

"Yes."

"You're not looking for another job?"

"No, Wenjun will introduce some work to me from time to time, and I just need to complete it at home. I have to take care of it."

"Where are your parents?"

"They didn't allow me to keep it. A few times, when they came, I found the door of the bird cage open. They wanted to let it fly away on its own. Another time, Jiujiu refused to eat. After checking, I found that the bird food smelled wrong and was very pungent. They wanted to poison it, so I changed the lock and didn't let them come again."

"When did you change the locks?"

"A month ago, they were making trouble with me. It was all a farce. They deliberately made scratches and then called the police. Tsk tsk..."

Jiang You shook his head.

The chirping sound of a bird of prey.

"No, it won't do that . It, it's the only one that won't force me..."

"What do you want me to do?"

"My parents forced me to go back to the design institute, saying it would provide stability. They forced me to break up with Xixi, saying they would never accept Xixi. Xixi forced me to go abroad, saying that only by going abroad could I escape my parents' control and we would have a future. Wenjun took risks every time, and nothing I said was of any use..." Liu Boyang covered his face dejectedly, "They all have their reasons. Only it listens to what I say, understands me, and comforts me..."

"You told it that it would be nice if your parents disappeared, right?"

"What do you mean?" Liu Boyang suddenly looked up at Jiang You.

“It’s serious.”

"What?"

"I'll help you raise this bird for a few days," Jiang You let go of his hand. Jiujiu's body slowly shrank, and Jiang You put it in a cage, "Teach him some principles of being a small animal."

Jiang You closed the cage and said, "Wenhua Street, No. 42, Wenfeng Road. I can't keep it for many more days. Next week, come and see it for the last time this day next week."

Hearing this, Liu Boyang pounced on Jiang You again.

Jiang You took a step back.

Sun Yu grabbed Liu Boyang.

Jiang You walked to the door carrying the bird cage and said, "Don't think too much, just send it back."

Jiang You walked out.

Sun Yu let go of Liu Boyang and followed him out.

Liu Boyang collapsed to the ground and heard the door closing.

Sun Yu sent Jiang You back to the cultural street.

"He's a poor man too," he said.

"Yes, I'll go in by myself." Jiang You got out of the car.

He went to a convenience store first.

Then he went back to the bug house, carrying the bird cage in one hand and the shopping bag in the other.
