you crushed my wings

It was just nine o'clock when I got home.

Ji Xinghu quietly entered the yard, sneaky, and was about to sneak back to his room. When the cat stooped and passed under the grape arbor, the mynah in the birdcage suddenly screamed.

Ji Xinghu hurriedly jumped into the house, but stopped suddenly before jumping too far, and stared back at the mynah jumping around in the cage.

Mynah was still calling, obviously it was a noisy bird call, but Ji Xinghu's brain automatically translated the series of ups and downs "chirp chirp chirp chirp" into human words: "Let me out! Let me out!"

Lonely Star Lake: "..."

He can understand bird language? !

Lonely Star Lake was already shocked when he grew wings and transformed into a bird before, but now he can basically accept any unscientific surreal events calmly.

Luan Shu heard the movement, walked out from the room of Jixing Lake in Nanwu, stood on the steps and asked, "What are you doing standing there?"

Ji Xinghu quickly ran to Luan Shu, whispered in his ear, "Xiao Shu, I can understand birdsong."

Luan Shu looked at the mynah who was still screaming, and asked, "Then translate, what is it talking about now?"

Ji Xinghu listened carefully, and said in a low voice: "It said that if I let it out of the cage, it would tell me a secret."

Luan Shu nodded, just in time to see Luan Shaoqing coming out of the north room, he said, "Grandpa, I'll help you go to the park for a walk with the birds, you can rest."

Luan Shaoqing said angrily: "This poor bird, if it annoys me, I will make soup with it."

Luan Shu walked over to take off the birdcage, winked at Jixing Lake, and they went out together.

"Can it understand what you say?" Luan Shu lifted the cage, "You make it stop barking."

Ji Xinghu looked at mynah and said, "Stop barking, and talk to the park if you have something to say."

As soon as the words fell, Mynah really shut up and stayed in the cage for a while.

Ji Xinghu looked surprised: "It can understand people's words, it's amazing."

Luan Shu reacted flatly and walked forward in silence, only then did Ji Xinghu realize that he had made Luan Shu angry.

Ji Xinghu and Luan Shu walked side by side, scrutinizing his face quietly.Although he had the usual iceberg face, his micro-expressions showed that Luan Shu hadn't calmed down yet.

"Your legs and feet are inconvenient, let me carry the birdcage." Ji Xinghu stretched out his hand, but Luan Shu changed the birdcage to the other hand and said, "No need."

Ji Xinghu paused, grabbed Luan Shu's arm with one hand and put it on his shoulder, and wrapped his other arm around his waist: "Then I will help you."

Luan Shu withdrew his arm and pushed him away, saying the same thing: "No need."

Ji Xinghu scratched his head, a little worried.

Luan Shu was rarely so angry with him so clearly, and he often didn't need him to coax Luan Shu himself, but today it was really abnormal.

Ji Xinghu stopped talking, he was thinking about how to make Luan Shu happy.

Luan Shu took a sneak peek at Ji Xing Lake, feeling a little regretful.

He shouldn't lose his temper. He shouldn't be jealous of a boyfriend as a brother and friend. It's really unreasonable.

After a while of silence, Luan Shu took the initiative to break the stiff atmosphere: "Have you had dinner yet?"

Ji Xinghu quickly replied with a smile: "I ate it, it was very good."

Luan Shu wanted to ask who to eat with, so he held back and didn't ask, and talked about something else: "By the way, Meng Xing received a private message from a scout on TikTok today, saying that a brokerage company took a fancy to her and wanted to sign her as an actor." .”

"It's a good thing," Ji Xinghu said, "Meng Xing's face can indeed eat this bowl of rice. What does Meng Xing say?"

Luan Shu said: "She really wants to try it, but according to Congratulations, her parents seem to disagree."

"As long as Meng Xing wants to do it, her parents can't stop her." Ji Xinghu took out his phone, "I'll call her and ask."

Meng Xing quickly picked it up.

"What?" Ji Xinghu slipped away stepping on his teeth.

Meng Xing said: "I just had a quarrel with my mother, and I'm autistic now."

"Because of being an actor?" Ji Xinghu asked.

"Well," Meng Xing sounded displeased, "I wouldn't have told them if I had known about it. Anyway, they usually don't bother to care about me. I must be out of my mind and ask for trouble, alas."

Ji Xinghu asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

Meng Xing said: "At first I didn't think much about being an actor, but since they stopped me, I decided to do it anyway. I have already chatted with scouts on WeChat, and I made an appointment to go to the agency on Wednesday for an interview."

"Is it reliable?" Ji Xinghu was a little worried, "I heard that there are quite a lot of pitfalls in this business."

Meng Xing said, "Let Congratulations stay with me, it's fine."

Ji Xinghu thought for a while: "Why don't Xiaoshu and I go together to give you momentum."

"Okay," Meng Xing said with a smile, "That's it."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xinghu said: "Meng Xing is going to the brokerage company for an interview on Wednesday, let's go with him."

Luan Shu nodded: "Okay."

The park arrived, but it was too late and the gates were closed.

Ji Xinghu climbed over the wall and went in neatly, and took over the birdcage. Although Luan Shu had an ankle injury, it was easy to climb over the wall.

There were no lights, and the park was pitch-black, and the swaying trees looked like ghosts floating around.

Ji Xinghu was afraid of the dark, so he was a little shy, and walked close to Luan Shu. Luan Shu put his arms around his shoulders and said in a low voice, "My ankle hurts, please support me."

Ji Xinghu put his arms around his waist: "It's the first time I come to the park at night, it's weird."

As soon as the words were finished, mynah suddenly called out, scaring Ji Xinghu into a fright.

"What did it say?" Luan Shu asked.

Ji Xinghu said: "It said I could fly, and I was afraid of a ball."

Entering a gazebo, Luan Shu and Ji Xinghu sat down, with the birdcage in the middle.

Ji Xinghu knocked on the birdcage: "Hey buddy, what secret do you want to tell me?"

Mynah called out a few times, and Ji Xinghu said: "Don't worry, I will set you free, and I will never break my promise, just tell me."

Mynah chirped, Ji Xinghu listened carefully, and when mynah stopped, Luan Shu asked, "What did it say?"

Ji Xinghu said: "It said that my body is a snow peacock, which is a legendary existence in the bird world, and my habitat is Yilemu Lake in Keketuohai, Xinjiang."

"Snow peacock?" Luan Shu immediately took out his mobile phone to search, but there was no relevant result. It can be seen that the snow peacock should be a mysterious species that has not yet been discovered by humans.

However, Luan Shu's previous conjecture has also been confirmed. The "star" and "lake" in the name of Jixing Lake both have hidden meanings. "Star" refers to the star orphanage where his biological parents grew up, and "lake" refers to the Yiremu Lake, the habitat of the snow peacock.

Ji Xinghu hugged the birdcage and asked mynah: "Since you know that I am a snow peacock, do you know something about my parents?"

Mynah barked twice, and Ji Xinghu's expression told Luan Shu that this was a disappointing answer.

Ji Xinghu asked again: "Why can Snow Peacock turn into a human? Is it a spirit?"

Mynah's answer was still very short, Ji Xinghu looked depressed, and Luan Shu guessed that mynah's answer was "don't know".

Ji Xinghu asked: "Just say what else do you know?"

Mynah flapped its wings while screaming, Ji Xinghu sighed helplessly, and said to Luan Shu: "It said it knew so much, let me fulfill my promise and let it go."

Luan Shu said, "Let me come."

He opened the small door on the birdcage, and the Mynah couldn't wait to fly out, screaming and flying into the night sky.

Ji Xinghu looked up, and murmured in a low voice: "So I am really a peacock, Snow Peacock, and the name is quite nice."

Luan Shu said: "When the National Day holiday comes, let's go to Yiremu Lake in Keketuohai to see your real hometown."

Ji Xinghu nodded: "Okay."

At this moment, the mynah that flew away suddenly turned back.

It landed on the top of the cage, called several times, and flew away again.

"What did it say?" Luan Shu asked.

Ji Xinghu said: "It said that it was dangerous for me to stay in the human world, and told me to leave here and go back to my hometown."

Luan Shu was silent.

Even if he didn't want to, he had to admit that the Mynah was right. Living in the human world, Xing'er could be in danger anytime and anywhere. Even though he would try his best to protect Xing'er, his strength It was too limited, and he was powerless in many things. He had known clearly for a long time that he was unable to protect Xing'er from any harm.

Ji Xinghu didn't care too much, he smiled and said, "As long as I learn to control myself and don't reveal my identity as a birdman, nothing will happen."

Luan Shu nodded: "Yes."

Ji Xinghu stood up and said, "How about I try it now?"

Luan Shu asked, "Try what?"

Ji Xinghu said: "Try to change into a bird, and then change back."

"Don't try," Luan Shu said hastily, "It will be bad if it doesn't change back."

"That's right," Lonely Star Lake raised the birdcage, "Then let's go home."

The two climbed over the wall and left the park, strolled back home, and the family members were already asleep.

Ji Xinghu hung the empty birdcage on the grape trellis, supported the eucalyptus tree and went back to the room.

"Wash together?" asked while undressing by Lonely Star Lake.

When Luan Shu took a bath together yesterday, his blood vessels almost burst from suffocation. He really couldn't bear such a strong stimulation, so he could only reluctantly refuse.He sat down at the desk and picked up the pen: "You wash it first, I still haven't finished my homework."

"I'll wait for you," Ji Xinghu said, "I have to wash for you."

"No need," Luan Shu said, "my ankle is much better, I can wash it myself."

"Alright then," Ji Xinghu no longer insisted, "I'll go wash first."

When Ji Xinghu went out with a change of clothes, Luan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, put down his pen, picked up his phone, opened the browser, entered "Iremu Lake", and searched.

Yiremu Lake is located in the southwest of Keketuohai, formed by the confluence of the Irtysh River and the Kaierte River. The east and west are mountains, and the north and south are plains. Looking at the pictures, the scenery is extremely beautiful.Because most of the lake water comes from the meltwater of glaciers in the Altai Mountains, the water temperature is very low, even in summer the lake water is icy cold, so Yiremu Lake is also known as "cold lake".

Luan Shu wants to go to Keketuohai, Yiremu Lake, and Altai Mountain with Ji Xinghu, but such a long-distance trip requires not only time, but also money.

This is a secret trip, and he can't open his mouth to his parents. He has to find a way to make money by himself.

Ji Xing Lake washed quickly, and returned in less than 5 minutes.

Luan Shu put down his phone and got up to take a shower.

"Do you really not need my help?" Ji Xinghu asked while wiping his hair.

"No need," Luan Shu said, "Did you finish your homework?"

Ji Xinghu cried and said: "No, I haven't written a single word yet."

Luan Shu smiled and said, "You write first, and I will write for you when I come back."

Ji Xinghu laughed immediately: "I love you to death! Meh!"

When Luan Shu went out, his heart fluttered because of a heartless "I love you to death".
