The Consequence of Provoking a Crazy Beauty [GL]

Chapter 59

The door opened, and the faint chirping of birds came in, very light and weak, with a hint of alertness. Gu Siyu closed the door. The hottest season was slowly passing, and these days the rain was pouring down heavily. The room had not been ventilated for a long time, inevitably carrying a sense of stuffiness.

She went to open the window, and the bird flapped its wings and flew over a meter high, fluttering its wings flexibly when it landed.

Gu Siyu leaned against the window and watched it. The bird tried a few times and then stopped trying. She stepped aside, giving the window to the bird. The bird paced inside the box, not noticing her.

The bird food in the box was not finished. Gu Siyu took out the feeder to wash it in the kitchen, wiped it clean with a tissue, and then put in new bird food.

Wild birds are not particular about cleanliness and hygiene when eating. Every time Gu Siyu did this meticulously, she wondered if she was overdoing it.

This reminded her of a famous work, "The Little Prince." The book was very popular, and the illustrations were quite fairy-tale-like. Gu Siyu often came across it while browsing videos before, and the most common scene was a conversation between a fox and the Little Prince. One day, she encountered the book in a bookstore, bought it, read it for a few days, found the beginning confusing, didn't understand the meaning, couldn't persist in reading the later parts, and eventually gave up. Thus, she didn't get to the part where the little fox appeared.

The little fox said to the Little Prince, "To me, you are still just a little boy, like millions of other little boys. I don't need you. You don't need me either. To you, I am just a fox, like millions of other foxes. But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world."

Later, the Little Prince tamed the little fox. When the Little Prince was about to leave and return to his own planet, the little fox said, "Ah... I feel like crying."

The Little Prince replied, "That is your fault."

After thinking for a while, Gu Siyu somewhat understood the meaning.

After feeding the little bird, Gu Siyu went to the bookshelf in the adjacent room to find the book. Wanting to confirm her understanding, she flipped through the books from beginning to end, one by one. Unfortunately, she couldn't find "The Little Prince." Gu Siyu went to the bathroom to brush her teeth, and when she came out, she searched for a yogurt bar in her pocket, but it was empty. Frustrated with herself, Gu Siyu sat on the sofa to relax. Closing her eyes, leaning back against the sofa, she let all her weight sink into it.

The little bird started chirping again, its yellow beak wide open. After it finished, it lowered its head to eat, almost causing Gu Siyu to miss the sound of a message notification.

Huo Junxian: [What would you like to eat today? How about spicy fish? The seafood market has freshly caught ones, very fresh.]

Huo Junxian usually doesn't cook fish; she doesn't like the way they look when dead and finds it a bit scary every time. On the contrary, Gu Siyu enjoys eating fish. Gu Siyu could sense the underlying message: [Send me the address, and I'll come over.]

After receiving the address, Gu Siyu left a crack in the window wide enough for the little bird to pass through and left. As she left, she looked back, and the bird was still peacefully eating.

'Silly thing, fly away, don't turn yourself into poultry.'

The drizzling rain had stopped, and the sky remained overcast. The dust on the flowers and leaves, washed away by the rain, made the distant scenery refreshed. However, the area near the community wasn't particularly beautiful, with the ground occupied by dirty mud due to clogged drains, all squeezed together.
