Zhang Zian was completely dumbfounded by the arrogant Apprehensive Bird, who had Fina on its back, but couldn’t provoke the cat either. He could only bitterly stare at Richard, and threw the mop aside.
Seeing that her trick had succeeded, Apprehensive Bird was extremely proud of herself.
”Grandpa Tea, don’t just watch on the side, testify for me!” Zhang Zian asked Old Time Tea for help.
Old Time Tea was confused, ” Zian, what do you want me to prove?”
”That it's a b*tch bird!” He pointed at Richard.
”Well... ...” Old Time Tea pondered, ”It may have been just joking around yesterday, right?
”Even if it was joking yesterday, today's dirty poetry was definitely not a joke!”
Old Time Tea smiled sheepishly. ”Actually I did not quite understand it. I just thought that the combination of those well-known works of poetry was very strange. Can you explain to me why you think the poetry arranged by Apprehensive Bird are dirty jokes?”
”Well ... ...” Zhang Zian was speechless. There was no easy way to explain the nasty messages implied in the poetry!
Modern Chinese people would recognize those messages in no time, so it was totally normal that Old Time Tea and Fina couldn’t understand the dirty jokes insinuated in the poetry. How could he explain it to them? If he really explained it, then in the eyes of Fina and Old Time Tea, his good and wholesome image probably would collapse... Although his image was probably not very good now!
Seeing that Zhang Zian was embarrassed, Richard immediately yelled arrogantly, ”Your Majesty! Did you see that? This guy is trying to slander me! He has no evidence at all! He should be kicked out from the Sacred Palace now!”
”Damn it! What a shameless bird! Calling my cat ‘Your Majesty’!” thought Zhang Zian.
Fina enjoyed Apprehensive Bird’s flattery very much, but she tried to remain cool and said, ”That would be not necessary. If he was kicked out, who would take care of me?”
Richard wanted to say more, but Fina jumped up to the highest rack of the cat tree. ”Well, chop, chop. Prepare breakfast for me, I’m starving.”
”Ha!” Zhang Zian rolled up his sleeves and said to Apprehensive Bird, ”Fina is not on your side now. No one can help you!”
Richard did not know why Fina had suddenly betrayed him, but knew that his flattery was not as effective as he had expected. He rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.
”Wait!”
Zhang Zian stood still, ”Are you begging me for mercy?”
”That’s one thing that will never happen!” Richard tried hard not to seem vulnerable. ”But we can make a fair deal that will make both you and me happy!”
Zhang Zian laughed, ”What fair deal? Quid pro quo? An eye for an eye?”
”Way better than that!” Richard stood up proudly, ”I can help you get a date!”
”What?!” Zhang Zian couldn’t believe what he just heard!
”You are a damn single, right?” Richard looked at him contemptuously. ”Do you want to get a date or not?”
”You bet I do!” Zhang Zian answered honestly.
”Good. Then I will find a date for you!”
”Wait a minute!” Zhang Zian was not gullible, ”You are just a bird; how can you help me find a girl to date?”
Richard laughed, ”Quack! Quack! Don’t you know? I’m a bird that can help people find their destined love!”
What? Can a bird really do that?
Zhang Zian didn’t know why, but he still thought Richard was just making another nasty joke.
