The next morning. It was just becoming bright outside when Zhang Zian was curling up in his warm, comfortable bed. He was laughing out loud from his dream where he found a beautiful and wealthy girlfriend. He could not help but drool.
”Squawk! Squawk!”
”F*ck!” Zhang Zian woke up. Sitting up in his bed, he was wondering where the noise came from.
Fina was also awakened. It was usually grumpy when it first woke up. This time, it was even more upset. Opening the princess bed's curtain with its paw, it asked impatiently, ”What is that noise?!”
Half awake, Zhang Zian was confused. It took him a while to realize what was going on.
He shook his head to wake himself up.
At this time, a poem that didn't make any sense came from downstairs:
”Farmers weeding at noon, along the river in the Qingming Festival; compound caoshanhu tablets, a candidate stem cell…”
What the heck?! It was that b*tch bird.
Upon hearing the poem, Zhang Zian recalled what happened yesterday.
”A pear tree is prettier than the Begonia; all my brothers put a branch on the mountain, only mine was missing.”
The Apprehensive Bird's voice was loud and clear. Zhang Zian felt as if he could see the way it read the poem.
Fina pulled a long face, ”What the heck is going on?”
Fina had gone to bed after coming down from the roof, so it hadn't met the new member yet.
”Well,” he explained, ”It is our new member named… Richard Jefferson, an African grey parrot.”
”A parrot?” Fina paused. ”I don't care what it is. It better shut up; Otherwise, I am going to teach it a lesson!”
”Okay. I am going to stop him.”
Jumping out of his comfortable bed and putting on his jacket, Zhang Zian quickly ran downstairs.
As soon as he came down, he saw Richard perched on the metal bar in the middle of the glass door. It was excited and looking around.
It saw Zhang Zian and said creepily, ”A great night with one beauty is priceless. Even a king would give up everything for a pretty girl…”
”What the f*ck?! Shut up!” Zhang Zian stopped it. It was so loud that the pedestrians outside might have heard him.
Galaxy and Old Time Tea were both woken up. Galaxy jumped down from its crib, yawning. Old Time Tea rubbed its eyes, shook its vest and put on its hat.
”I am the Apprehensive Bird!” it said, helplessly. ”Do you understand what an Apprehensive Bird is? If I shut up, then I am no longer the Apprehensive Bird!”
”If you continue talking, I am going to turn you into a speechless bird!” Zhang Zian said as he picked up a strappy item from the ground. ”Do you see this?”
”Yeah. What do you want?” It tilted its head and looked at the strap.
”If you don't shut up, I am going to tie your mouth closed with this,” Zhang Zian said as he gestured to the item.
With its eyes wide open, Richard seemed fearless and discovered something new from Zhang Zian. ”I never thought you were into this, Jeff… I love Japanese Turtle Binding as well. This strap is a bit too thick to be fun, though!”
