Chapter 1271 - 760: Captain Feng, What Are You Here For?_2
"Isn’t Dou Dou going downstairs with you?" Luo Ye glanced curiously at the little creature crouching beside him, behaving very well. "Or does it often go missing now?"
"This little guy spends half the month away from home, no idea what it’s busy with." Grandpa Luo wore an expression of helplessness. "We were quite worried at first, but now we’ve grown used to it. It always comes back by itself, seems like it’s found a companion."
"Chiu chiu chiu..."
"Alright, stop chirping. We can’t understand what you’re saying. Finding a companion is good, always being alone isn’t right." Luo Ye touched the little creature that was craning its neck and chirping, "Song Qiu has become a dad. Feeling uncomfortable about it, huh? How about this: go find your other half later and bring it to me. If it’s suitable, it can stay at our home."
This equal conversation made Wen Xin wipe the sweat from her forehead quietly.
"Chiu chiu chiu..." As soon as Luo Ye finished speaking, Dou Dou flew to the door, eagerly pecking at it with its beak.
"Mom, Dou Dou really understands, see?" Luo Ye laughed as she helped open the door for the little creature, waving her hand. "Knock when you come back. We’re waiting for Dou Dou’s prince to visit."
"Chiu chiu chiu..." However, Dou Dou clung to Luo Ye’s clothes and wouldn’t let go, seemingly asking her to come along.
Luo Ye comforted it by patting its head: "Dou Dou, not now. We have guests coming over, I need to wait at home. You go find it and bring it over for me to see, okay?"
"Chiu chiu." Dou Dou chirped twice in response and flew back to the sofa, lying still, looking gloomy and dispirited, making the whole family amused. Luo Ye tapped its little forehead with a smile: "Little creature, you’ve really become quite something. How about this: wait for the guests to arrive and be settled, then I’ll accompany you, sound good?"
"Chiu chiu..." The little creature immediately perked up, rubbing its head against Luo Ye eagerly, looking very happy.
Wen Xin shook her head: "Song Qiu growing up makes sense, apart from not barking, it behaves quite like a dog. This little thing is becoming quite extraordinary."
"If it weren’t so special, how could it have followed us home?" Luo Ye extended her arm for Dou Dou to perch on, then quickly flipped her arm. Surprisingly, the little creature held on tightly and didn’t fall!
"Wow, there’s progress!" Luo Ye’s playful side emerged, twirling her arm around, and the little creature stayed as if glued to her arm, completely still!
"Ye’er, Dou Dou is no ordinary being." Grandpa Luo’s expression grew serious after observing for a while, and Wen Xin immediately agreed, "I think so too. What ordinary seagull could do this?"
Sister Li, who had been busy in the kitchen, also came out: "Miss Ye’er, I’ve been alive for over forty years, and it’s my first time seeing such an intelligent bird."
"Woo woo..."
The neglected Song Qiu wasn’t pleased and let out a cry, successfully diverting everyone’s attention away from Dou Dou. Everyone had found an excuse to intentionally ignore the question.
No matter if the little creature is ordinary or not, having raised it for so many years, the bond doesn’t let it go. Moreover, it harbors no ill will towards the Luo Family, that’s certain, so what’s there to worry about?
Luo Ye gently stroked Dou Dou’s smooth feathers, and inadvertently, her eyes met its bright, shiny ones. She couldn’t tell if it was a trick of the light, but she saw a hint of reluctance and tears in those small eyes.
To conceal this moment, she grabbed the chubby body of Song Qiu, placing Dou Dou on its back: "Turn around and let me see."
This game was often played in the past, but as Song Qiu grew larger, such play became rare. Now, she particularly wanted to relive that feeling; Dou Dou’s recent gaze made her feel as though she might lose it, and secretly, she hoped that some things might revert to the way they were.
Though round as a ball, Song Qiu was not clumsy, seemingly understanding its little owner’s thoughts, carried Dou Dou around the room energetically, inducing laughter from the whole family.
Turning quietly aside, Luo Ye wiped away tears at the corner of her eye, perhaps she was just overthinking it.
The doorbell rang again, and Luo Ye exhaled deeply, standing up to stop Sister Li: "I’ll go get it."
On the screen, neither Dad nor Second Brother was shown!
Slightly surprised, Luo Ye opened the door: "Captain Feng, why are you here?" Even though he’s now a regiment leader, she habitually still prefers to call him Captain Feng.
"Not welcoming me?"
That signature smile, the casual tone, he seemed to have returned to the way he appeared when she first met him, and oddly, it made her heart feel relieved. She never wished to witness the hurt caused by the persistence of a fruitless relationship.
This way of his, does it mean... he’s come to terms with it?
With an alluring smile, Feng Tianzhi looked at Grandpa Luo and Wen Xin, who were gazing at him in confusion: "Hello Grandpa, Hello Aunt, I apologize for the intrusion, and I beg for your forgiveness."
Wen Xin had met Feng Tianzhi before and didn’t have a bad impression of him. Seeing her daughter blocking the door as if trying to keep him out, she promptly said, "Ye’er, let the guest in."
