Chapter 196: Understanding the Bird

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

Galaxy was the first one to jump up. It was immediately attracted by the moon and the stars. "Meow! Meow! How beautiful!"

In fact, the moon was so bright that most of the small stars were hiding. However, this was the first time that Galaxy saw the sky from a roof. It was so excited that it was jumping up and down, which scared Zhang Zian. He said to Galaxy, "Galaxy, stay away from the edge. I don't want you to fall."

There weren't rails around the edges. Along the edges were some bricks, which made the edge more visible. He remembered that his parents didn't allow him to run around in case he fell down.

Fina came up after Galaxy. It said after a quick glance, "Such a simple roof!"

"I am sorry it is simple," Zhang Zian knew it would say something like that.

"I love the stars!" Galaxy screamed excitedly.

Fina looked up to the sky and said coldly, "I don't see anything exciting. There are barely any stars! I have seen ten times more from my star observation tower!"

Galaxy couldn't believe it, "Really?!"

"Of course!" Fina raised its head and said like a proud peacock. "I could look up and the stars in the sky were just as shiny as my jewelry. This place is not comparable."

"Meow! I want to see…" Galaxy was jealous, looking at Zhang Zian like a little kid.

Zhang Zian cleared his throat, "Well… in fact … In this era, it is very difficult to see the stars because there are too many lights all around. Also, the air pollution in the city doesn't help. Unless we go deep in the woods, we really won't be able to see the stars."

"I like it here. It feels lively," Old Time Tea was the last one to jump up to the roof. "Going deep in the woods is only nice in your imagination."

Zhang Zian agreed. Professor Wei spending three years to get a student enrolled in his program was the best example. People lived in the city for too long, so they admired nature. However, if they had to live in the woods, most of them would not be able to stand the loneliness and inconvenience. Social life was very important to humans.

"Please wait. Let me get the tea." He left the roof to get four sets of tea cups and a thermos water bottle. The water bottle was filled with freshly boiled water.

Galaxy usually didn't eat or drink. It sat down on one of the chairs. Fina was not interested in tea. Zhang Zian was worried that it would reject the invitation directly. However, it was lazily sitting on the chair to his left. Old Time Tea was pumped and it jumped up to the chair to his right.

After setting up the tea cups, he opened the thermos water bottle and waited for the water to cool down a tiny bit. He then poured the water into the teapot. After spending time with Old Time Tea, he knew that rolling boiled water would spoil tea. It had to cool down a bit to make good tea. With the water in, the golden Osmanthus tea was aromatic.

"That tea smells good," Fina smelled.

"When it gets cold outside, drinking hot tea is very soothing," Old Time Tea smiled, "Osmanthus tea isn't expensive, but it is the best thing at this time of year."

While waiting for the hot tea to cool down, Zhang Zian grabbed the vase filled with Osmanthus flowers and put it in the middle of the table. The flowers were fragrant.

"I have never seen this flower," Fina stared at the Osmanthus.

A golden cat was staring at some golden flowers. What a beautiful picture! Old Time Tea wanted to paint this picture if it could.

The golden flowers were a great match to Fina.

"Osmanthus tea was made from these flowers," Old Time Tea explained.

Zhang Zian poured tea for each of them and said, "Please enjoy." Finally, he poured himself some.

Looking down, Galaxy was staring at the stars shown in the tea. It then looked up and saw the real stars as if it was confused as to which one was real.

Looking at the golden tea, Fina was staring at the face reflected in tea – it was its own face. On the day before she left, that woman was rubbing its forehead as if she wanted to rub it into her heart. Fina could never forget her tiny gentle hands. However, the number of times it woke up from nightmares were getting less and less. The nightmares seemed to be fading away.

Drinking the tea, Old Time Tea breathed out some white steam from its mouth. Steam kept coming out of its mouth for a few seconds. Only Kung Fu masters could achieve this long breath.

Compared to daytime, Old Time Tea preferred the night. Many people pretended to be nice during the day and turned back into a monster at night. Now it had a stable home and a caring owner. It never had to fight for food again. Staying on the roof and drinking tea was really nice.

Zhang Zian still didn't know how to enjoy tea. He drank the tea quickly and pulled out his phone. "Let's welcome our new member. I have to warn you… this bird is quite b*tchy."

Galaxy and Fina were confused. Only Old Time Tea had seen that bird and knew what Zhang Zian meant.

Zhang Zian turned on the Pet Hunter game and clicked on the one and only Elfin in the pet bar. The huge grey parrot was looking around from the monitor.

[Game Tip]:Pet characteristics

[Known As]:The Apprehensive bird

[Rarity]:Elite grade

[Characteristics]:People have never heard of the apprehensive bird because they don't understand it.

[History]:Locked

[Real Name]:Locked

Zhang Zian read in his heart, "People have never heard of the apprehensive bird because they don't understand it." Is that the reason why it showed up in a Chinese class?

He pointed at an empty space and clicked "release."

"Wow!"

The grey parrot appeared in the sky. It seemed to be unprepared, so it dropped like a dead bird. Fortunately, it woke up, adjusted its position and flew up.

"What is going on?! Who got me here? What do you want? Money? Sex?" The bird was loud.

Zhang Zian was again speechless.

The apprehensive bird flapped its wings and wanted to fly away. However, there seemed to be an invisible wall about 10 feet from the ground to push it back down.

"What is going on? Why can't I fly? Is this a kidnapping?"

[Game Tip]:The apprehensive bird is not friendly enough to leave home.

Zhang Zian said to it, "Don't waste your time. Stay here."

The apprehensive bird tried a few times and failed.

Finally, it was tired, so it stopped trying. It looked at Zhang Zian, then Galaxy, Fina and Old Time Tea. It soon sneered.

"Oh, one stupid man and three silly cats…"

Before the apprehensive bird finished, a golden light stormed in and went straight at it.

Fina attacked the bird with fury. Who dared to offend Fina?

Zhang Zian was shocked.

So was Old Time Tea.

The apprehensive bird was scared too… well… it wet it's pants. Some yellowish poop came out.

Fina had attacked with full power.

The apprehensive bird screamed. Its body fell heavily on the roof leaving a few feathers with blood dancing in the sky.

That was all in Zhang Zian's imagination. Here's what really happened…

Zhang Zian still didn't know how to enjoy tea. He drank down the tea quickly and pulled out his phone, "Let's welcome our new member. I have to warn you… this bird is quite b*tchy."

Galaxy looked back down and said, "Zian!"

Zhang Zian was going to release the bird. He stopped and asked, "What's wrong, Galaxy?"

Galaxy said, "I think the new mate has to be silly. It is not good at hide-and-seek so it was captured."

Zhang Zian was confused, "I don't understand."

"Well, let's leave it the way it is," Galaxy stared at his phone and said seriously.

Zhang Zian was fine, so he said, "Okay. I will wait until we are done."

Old Time Tea was in deep thought.

When Fina and Old Time Tea finished their tea, Zhang Zian was going to refill their cups. Fina jumped down and said, "I am going back. It is too cold up here."

Zhang Zian knew it wanted to take a nap on its princess bed, so he only refilled Old Time Tea's cup. "Okay. We will come down when we finish."

Fina left the roof.

Zhang Zian refilled his own cup and Galaxy suddenly said, "Zian, I want to meet our new mate."

He was confused. What made Galaxy change its mind?
