Yanjing.
Private dical facility.
Under the tree in the courtyard, Quan Jin stood in front of the birdcage, picking at to feed a black myna bird.
This myna was brought over from the Quan Mansion. Although it wasn’t raised by Quan Jin, it has a decent bond with him.
Yu Rujin, fearing that Quan Jin would get bored, had the myna sent over to keep him company and relieve his boredom.
Every ti Quan Jin said, "Bell."
The myna in the cage would mimic him, saying: ’Bell.’
Quan Jin: "Whose bell?"
Myna: ’Whose bell.’
"Stupid bird, I’ve taught you over a dozen tis, and you still can’t get it. What’s the point of you?" Quan Jin put the strip of at from the chopsticks back into the bowl, getting into a mood.
The myna, seeing Quan Jin put the at back, wasn’t very happy and imitated in a human-like tone:
’Give at.’
’Give at.’
’I want to eat at.’
’Want at, grow up, cute, mwah.’
Quan Jin: "..."
The chanical mwah, devoid of emotion, cracked Quan Jin’s tense expression, and he burst into laughter: "Other than begging for at in different ways, what else can you say?"
’Jinjin is a fool.’
’Jinjin is a fool.’
Quan Jin: "..."
His face instantly darkened.
Quan Jin flicked the birdcage with his hand, causing it to sway, and the myna inside swayed while shouting:
’Save the bird.’
’Killing the bird.’
’Killing the bird.’
’Save the bird, save the bird, save the bird.’
Quan Jin didn’t let it off, flicking the cage several more tis, causing both the bird and people to feel dizzy.
Tu Kuan, who was inside looking up information, was already distracted by two phone ringtones and was further disturbed by the noise from the person and bird outside, making it impossible to focus on work.
He picked up his phone and walked out to Quan Jin’s side: "Little Quan, why are you picking on a myna? It’s shouting itself hoarse."
Quan Jin flicked the birdcage once more before withdrawing his hand. His fair and pretty fingertips were red from flicking and hurt a bit, but he casually put his hand in his pocket, standing there: "Even if it shouts hoarse, no one will save it."
Tu Kuan: "..."
Have so decency.
When the cage stopped swaying, the myna stood on the perch inside and started singing:
’Ugly freak, nobody loves, ugly freak, so strange, ugly freak, nobody loves, ugly freak...’
Quan Jin glanced at Tu Kuan beside him: "Did you hear that? It says you’re an ugly freak, and nobody loves you."
Tu Kuan: "..."
Quan Jin walked ahead, leaving only his back for Tu Kuan to see: "It’s just asking for it. Get a barbeque grill ready; tonight, we’ll have grilled myna, with extra cumin."
Tu Kuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He caught up to Quan Jin: "Show so rcy. Did it do anything to provoke you?"
Under the skylight in the siheyuan courtyard, there was an nearly 200-square-ter yard, with a full set of jade tables and chairs in the center.
In each of the four corners of the yard were placed four Chinese junipers. Despite appearing like ordinary bonsai trees, the four junipers are actually over 800 years old and are rare and precious.
Quan Jin walked to the jade table set, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked up at Tu Kuan, who sat opposite him: "Doctor Tu, would you like so tea?"
Tu Kuan sat down: "No, thanks."
Then he placed the phone he brought out on the table, pushing it to Quan Jin: "Looks like it’s your call. They called twice. Check if it’s soone important trying to reach you."
