Gu Lingqiao had never seen a talking bird before, and was extremely surprised. Seeing Long Rui, she asked incredulously, "Brother Rui, that bird can talk! Is it yours?"
Long Rui: "It belongs to my wife."
"Really! That's great! Brother Rui, let Lingling have it to play for a few days! Lingling has come to the Capital and it's her first time seeing something so curious and fun." Gu Lingqiao was so excited, she even forgot the wound on her face, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu: "You ugly freak, who would play with you?"
Gu Lingqiao froze for a moment, looked at Long Rui, and asked hurtfully, "Brother Rui, is it calling me names?"
Long Rui glanced up at Xiao Jiu, which shrank back slightly, then puffed up its little chest with an I-fear-nothing attitude. Long Rui's lips curled into a smile. They say pets resemble their owners; indeed, this bird somewhat has Xuexue's temperament.
