Substitute Bride: The Gentle Husband of the Evil Girl is Crazy and Wild

"Ma'am, can you please keep it?"

The low voice was a little cautious.

Li Xiaoyu stood outside and watched for a while, but still didn't see anyone coming.

She returned to the yard and closed the door.

When climbing up the stairs, he also lifted up the backpack.

Seeing the parrot standing docilely in Gu Fei's palm, she scratched the back of her ears out of habit, pursed her lips and took a deep breath.

Hearing her sigh, Gu Fei's mood also dropped.

"Ma'am, can't I?"

It looks humble, like a little animal that is about to be abandoned.

Li Xiaoyu half-knelt down and touched the parrot with his hand. Her hand had just been placed on the little guy's back.

It turned around arrogantly without giving any face.

He stared at her vigilantly with a pair of sly eyes, almost like he was guarding against a thief.

Seeing how it deserves a beating, if it wasn't for its unknown origin and she was afraid of losing money, she would definitely teach it to be a bird.

"It's not that it can't be done. The main thing is that a parrot needs to be taught to speak. If it can speak, it must have an owner."

At this moment, what she was thinking about was the fear of losing money.

She didn't notice at all why the parrot knew her name and said things like it wanted to peck her to death.

"Besides, we ordinary people can't afford to keep it, so I wonder if it flew out from some rich family. Let's keep it, in case someone comes looking for it and thinks we stole it."

"What if you ask us for compensation?"

Her words were very logical, and she revealed a lot of things unconsciously.

Gu Fei pretended not to know. He pursed his lips into a straight line and said reluctantly, "Then how do you think Madam deal with it?"

"Let him go," Li Xiaoyu replied without hesitation.

She would never forcibly withhold something that did not belong to her, no matter how precious it was.

"Let go?"

Gu Fei thought she would say she roasted it, but she never expected she would say she put it away.

Hearing his slightly surprised voice, Li Xiaoyu replied softly: "Yes, it came to our house unexpectedly. Maybe its owner is waiting for it anxiously."

Her words were sensible.

Gu Fei knew that the parrot would not leave, so he agreed obediently.

"Then listen to Madam."

He said he would listen to her, but there was a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Seeing his aggrieved look, Li Xiaoyu patted his shoulder and said, "When I make a lot of money in the future, I'll buy you eight or ten parrots. We don't want a parrot with a foul mouth like this, dear."

The first part of the sentence sounds normal, but the word "good" comes out at the end.

The anger in Gu Fei's heart suddenly rose up.

He suppressed his anger and said aggrievedly, "Madam, I am not a dog."

"what?"

Li Xiaoyu's mouth twitched, and he saw that his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, looking like he was being bullied.

She scratched her ear and said, "I didn't say you were a dog."

If her eyes could see, Gu Fei's cold eyes would kill her, "But you only say good when you are coaxing a dog."

Hearing this, the woman touched her nose awkwardly.

It seems to make some sense.

She used to see some pet owners in the square calling their dogs “come back soon”.

"Sorry for my question, I will pay more attention next time."

Gu Fei felt cold in his heart.

She wants to have another time...

The parrot stayed in Gu Fei's hand, looking at him for a while, then looking at the apologetic woman.

Suddenly it shouted to Li Xiaoyu: "You are a dog, you are a dog."

"Get out of here."

After saying that, Li Xiaoyu took the parrot from Gu Fei, stood up, swung his arm forward, and a perfect parabola passed through the air.

After a moment, the parrot came back flapping its wings.

He kept repeating: "I won't leave... I won't leave..."

Li Xiaoyu was surprised to see it resting steadily on Gu Fei's shoulder.

She walked in front of the man and bent down slightly, resting her hands on her knees and leaning her head forward.

Staring at the parrot that was tightly grasping the man's clothes with its two claws, she felt strange and laughed, "Gu Fei, this bird seems to have become a spirit. It's back again."

Li Xiaoyu's movement made their knees just touch each other.

Although I was talking to the parrot, the sweet laughter sounded clearer to my ears than ever before.

Gu Fei’s head started to hurt again.

He put his left hand behind his back, and his slender fingers gradually tightened.

Enduring the feeling of their knees touching each other, he said in a soft voice disguised as well as cold: "Madam, please send it away."

"Ah."

Li Xiaoyu caught the parrot and released it again.

I sent the parrot flying three times, but it just flew to the door and then turned around and flew back.

Every time it fell on Gu Fei's shoulders.

Just like following a patron saint.

She was helpless now, and explained the situation to the man: "Since it won't leave, you can keep it."

When he heard that he could keep the parrot, Gu Fei acted like a good child asking for his family's opinions.

So self-abased and yet so expectant: "Madam, is it really possible?"

Thinking that he basically never leaves his room except going to the toilet and washing his face and mouth every day.

Li Xiaoyu made a cruel decision.

"Sure, but we don't have much food for it at home. The only things it can eat are earthworms in the ground. There's open space outside our yard, so you have to dig it yourself."

She won't help.

Gu Fei touched the parrot on her shoulder and smiled at her, "Thank you, Madam, for keeping it."

He smiled, his eyes like crescent moons.

If he is in good health, such a smile is very contagious.

But his health was not good, so no matter whether it was sincere or pretended, Li Xiaoyu felt that he was forcing a smile.

She pursed her lips and smiled: "It stayed here because it likes you."

"By the way, you can draw, right?" She stood up and took the backpack into the main room and put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.

"I went to the county and bought some pens, ink, paper and inkstone. You can paint to kill time at home."

She bought this with the money from today's sales.

Even the cheapest paper costs a lot of money.

All in all, I only earned ten cents today.

She gave the other four steamed buns to the people in the yamen as a way of maintaining relations.

I took out a slightly larger piece of paper from the pile and pressed the front with the inkstone to prevent it from curling up.

I thought of the murderer's appearance as described by the bailiff.

She didn't quite know where to start.

Outside the main room, when Gu Fei heard her calm and steady words, a hint of surprise flashed across his brows, but he regained his composure in an instant.

"Ma'am, aren't you afraid that I'll waste paper?"

Li Xiaoyu was studying how to start writing. Hearing this, she turned her head and looked over.

I could only see Gu Fei's back.

She sat on the bench, pursed her lips, placed the brush handle horizontally on her upper lip, and rubbed the bump on her forehead.

He replied nonchalantly, "I don't think it matters. If you're afraid of wasting it, just paint the front and wait for it to dry."

"Turn it over and draw on the other side. You can draw two pictures on one piece of paper, so it won't be wasted."

Her suggestion successfully made Gu Fei feel that he was asking unnecessary questions. He could strangle a spy like her to death every day.

"Madam is really smart."
