Chapter 265: What a Waste

Gu Lingling’s almond eyes stared at the Black Bird on Yang Yunhai’s shoulder, watching it warily, afraid that it might harm Yang Yunhai or herself in the next second.

Who knew that bird would roll its eyes at her, then haughtily fly back to its nest, retrieve the red fruit from before, and flatteringly fly around Yang Yunhai.

The meaning was already quite obvious.

"You want me to eat this fruit too?" Yang Yunhai asked.

The Black Bird flapped its wings faster and even nodded, chirping away, not knowing what it was saying.

Yang Yunhai extended his hand, and the Black Bird placed the red fruit on his palm, looking at him with eager eyes, hoping he would eat the red fruit immediately.

"What if I give it to her?" Yang Yunhai asked.

The Black Bird widened its eyes and shook its head vigorously.

Yang Yunhai was just testing it, and he truly felt much lighter after eating the red fruit, so he wanted Gu Lingling to try it too.

He also noticed that this Black Bird, while not looking significant, did not harbor any malice.

Just as Yang Yunhai finished speaking, the Black Bird suddenly flew up again, returned to its nest, and after a while, quietly poked its head out, glanced at Yang Yunhai conflictedly, and then resentfully looked at Gu Lingling standing beside him.

Then it retracted its head again.

Gu Lingling, "..."

Is this really a bird? How can it express emotions so vividly that she can’t even ignore it?

Gu Lingling had never been so disdainfully regarded by a bird before.

"It’s okay." Yang Yunhai had long noticed the interaction between the Black Bird and Gu Lingling, and shrugged it off with a laugh, "Let’s see how it goes. If it dares to bully you again, Brother Yang will stand up for you."

Chirp chirp...

The Black Bird poked its head out from the nest and looked at Yang Yunhai pitifully: Don’t think I can’t understand what you’re saying, humph...

But it still flew over begrudgingly, and placed the item it was holding in its beak into Yang Yunhai’s hand.

"Is this for her?" Yang Yunhai looked amused at its reluctant expression, "If you’re unwilling, then forget it."

Chirp chirp...

The Black Bird ingratiatingly rubbed its head against Yang Yunhai’s hand, and nudged the item forward.

"Black Bean?" Gu Lingling pointed at the item in Yang Yunhai’s hand, "Is this for me to eat?"

What if she doesn’t want to eat it?

There are plenty of these Black Beans on their mountain, others like its taste, but Gu Lingling doesn’t really enjoy it.

And it doesn’t seem to be anything special, anyway.

"Be good." Yang Yunhai coaxed with a smile, afraid that Gu Lingling might disdain the fact that it was carried over by the Black Bird, so he deliberately washed it with spring water, which made the Black Bird chirp angrily but was subdued with a mere glance from Yang Yunhai.

"Thank you, Brother Yang." Gu Lingling smiled as she accepted the item.

Brother Yang wouldn’t harm her.

Gu Lingling took the Black Bean, tilted her head back, and swallowed it like medicine, while also receiving a contemptuous glance from the Black Bird who favored the red fruit more.

"How is it? Does it feel any different?" Yang Yunhai asked with concern.

Different?

Gu Lingling carefully felt for any change but didn’t notice anything, just that her body seemed to warm up a bit, but it wasn’t that noticeable.

"It’s fine." Yang Yunhai said with a smile.

The Black Bird, however, was not content, chirping indignantly as it circled Yang Yunhai.

No difference? Foolish woman, that was its treasured possession hidden away for so long. If it weren’t worried that Yang Yunhai might carelessly give the red fruit to Gu Lingling, it wouldn’t have parted with it.

This silly girl just didn’t appreciate it.

It was utterly infuriated!
