What happened to Jingjing reminded Xie Guanze that even though pets have a long lifespan and suffer from various psychological or physical abuses, they are extremely fragile.
He treasured the time he spent with King Xie very much, and made up his mind to spend more time with King Xie. He even made a special list of things the two of them hadn't done, and wanted to do it together with King Xie. .
"Watching movies, visiting the park, visiting the zoo, watching concerts... Hey, Xiao Xie, are you in love?" Hou Fanghua said with a smile when he passed by Xie Guanze's desk with his thermos in his arms, and saw the schedule he put on it.
"No, this is a project I plan to play with the king, he doesn't look very happy these days." Xie Guanze scratched the back of his head embarrassingly. Today is the weekend, and it happened to be his turn to be on duty. Hou Fanghua came to take him on purpose, and came here to check on his work status.
"Really, I thought who were you going on a date with? Haha!" Hou Fanghua smiled wrinkled and squeezed together like a chrysanthemum.
"However, there is news recently that many countries in Europe and the United States have officially implemented the "Personal Marriage Law", which also includes same-sex marriage. Foreigners are the trend, and they will always be at the forefront in this regard."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart.
With a thought in his mind, Xie Guanze suddenly thought of the news he had overheard. The couple that King Xie received was a doting couple.
He thought of King Xie's bedside photo of himself and him secretly taken together, and his mind moved slightly, as if he vaguely understood why King Xie was depressed.
Perhaps, he really should have a good talk with King Xie, but it's not a romantic floating restaurant, but a separate candlelight dinner...
Xie Guanze took out his phone again, and picked and fro at the restaurant.
Yet again, there is an urgent mission.
Kong Qin, who was on vacation today, rushed over to call the police in a panic, saying that his guppy, Kong Jue, had run away from home.
Xie Guanze who just booked a restaurant: ...
Xie Guanze said seriously, "How long have you been away from home?"
"It's been 48 hours." Kong Qin said in a flustered tone, "I thought he was going out to meet friends, but I didn't pay attention at first, until after 48 hours, I called and asked all his friends and found that he disappeared after visiting one by one yesterday. Not having a sleepover at a friend’s house at all just doesn’t feel right.”
"Visit one by one?"
"That's right! I heard that tone, like confessing last words!"
Xie Guanze silently canceled the order.
Kong Qin walked back and forth anxiously: "Do you think Kong Jue can't think about it? But he has a girlfriend and a child!"
After Kong Jue became an adult, Kong Qin didn't interfere with Kong Jue's love anymore. He let the other party make friends and fall in love, and even met the girlfriend who was also a guppy.
But they broke up in less than a month. Kong Qin asked, and Kong Jue looked at him inexplicably, saying that guppy has no marriage, only estrus/estrus and breeding period. In a month's time, his girlfriend had already given birth to Xiaoyu, and then they went back to each house to find their own mothers.
Regarding this, Kong Jue could only feel the huge difference in the race of people.
After becoming a human, at least they have human morality. The guppies that can eat small fish did not eat their own offspring, and they took the initiative to take care of them. The responsible big fish loses patience and leaves it to the owner of the female fish to take care of it.
A guppy pet owner with a girlfriend and a child, why did he suddenly run away from home, and why did he have a will to die when he confessed his last words
Xie Guanze suddenly thought of the budgerigar he had seen in the pet care center.
The death of that budgie was purely due to aging, and the aging organs were aging, and no matter how good the medical skills were, it could not be cured.
"Kong Qin, how long does a guppy live? How old were you when you raised him?"
Kong Qin suddenly froze.
Xie Guanze simply searched the Internet by himself, and then understood why Kong Qin was stunned.
The average lifespan of guppies is only 1-2 years.
"Anyone who has ever raised a dog will know that some dogs, when they know that they are old and about to die, will deliberately stay away from the house, not wanting to cause trouble to the owner." Hou Fanghua breathed out quietly.
"My dad raised a native dog. When I was young, I remember that dog took care of me and grew up. I didn't get angry no matter how I bullied it. Then one day he suddenly left by himself. When my parents finally found it, It is hiding in the haystack, it is already cold."
When Kong Qin heard Hou Fanghua's words, the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. He immediately took out his mobile phone and called Kong Jue desperately.
The phone was connected, but no one answered.
"You send a message." Xie Guanze said decisively.
Kong Qin quickly changed to sending text messages.
"Kong Jue, where are you? Come back soon?!"
After a while, Kong Jue replied to the message. The short four words made Kong Qin's heart twitch.
"I'm dying."
"Where are you?" Kong Qin cried anxiously, "Come back quickly, I'll take you to the hospital!"
This time, he did not wait for Kong Jue's reply.
"Fish can't live without water, especially when pets die and return to their original form. Now he must be by the water." Xie Guanze often went to the nursing home, saw many pets dying of old age, and guessed Kong Jue's whereabouts.
"Where did you buy Kong Jue? Is there water there?"
Kong Qin shook his head: "I bought it from the Flower and Bird Market, but Kong Jue said he hated it and sold him as a commodity."
"Or, it's a place with special meaning that you have been to together."
"I still remember, I will take you there!"
"I'll stay on duty, you two, be careful, don't be too impulsive, a dying guppy can't stand it." Hou Fanghua, who was only here to guide the younger generation, stayed on duty to prevent accidents, Kong Qin and Xie Guanze hurried to find it Kong Jue.
At the same moment, half of Kong Jue's body was lying in the water, and fish scales began to spread on his body, which he did not intentionally control.
He was on the verge of losing control, too old to maintain his human form.
Kong Jue didn't resist, lying on the ground, turned his head to look at the mobile phone next to him, watched Kong Qin's constant calls, and smiled.
Fins have grown between his fingers, and they are connected in one piece, and he can no longer type.
Wrinkles appeared on his aging face, his voice was hoarse and vicissitudes like an old man, he dared not answer the phone to reveal his voice.
In just one week, he aged rapidly. At the beginning, he was only physically weak and his internal organs were weak. He knew that he was dying, so he quickly went to see his friend for the last time.
Later, his appearance also began to age, but he didn't dare to see his master with this side.
Perhaps after becoming a human, he could better understand his master's mind. Kong Jue knew that human beings also like the new and dislike the old, and also like the beautiful and dislike the ugly.
When Kong Qin bought the guppy, he liked his beautiful tail. Now that he is old, his fish scales have fallen off, and his human form is aging. He doesn't want to be rejected by his master, so he has to choose to leave alone.
Just let yourself keep the image of that mermaid in Kong Qin's heart forever!
Kong Jue felt that his legs had turned into fish tails, his arms had completely turned into fish fins, his clothes had become very restrained, and his torso had also begun to turn into a fish body.
Kong Jue took one last look at the bright moon that had just risen in the night sky, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Thanks to the double yolk egg moon that night, after turning him into a human form, he had the opportunity to spend so many wonderful times with his master and experience the happiness that he had never experienced as a fish.
Kong Jue sighed softly, closed his eyes, and prepared to face the final death.
And at this moment, he heard hurried footsteps and Kong Qin's crying cry: "Kong Jue! Kong Jue!"
Kong Jue opened his eyes suddenly, and saw two humans running over one after the other.
The one in front is Kong Qin, the master he still cares about until his death.
"Why did you come here? Are you stupid? I brought you here to fish for lobsters. You are not afraid that after you die, the lobsters will take revenge and eat you." Kong Qin rushed over, turning his body into a The chubby Kong Jue was hugged in his arms, and he didn't care about Kong Jue's strange appearance of half a man and half a fish.
Xie Guanze stopped and stood on the bank of the river, leaving space for the two of them.
Kong Jue was still mixed with sadness and excitement one second ago, but when he heard Kong Qinsha's beautiful words the next second, he thought: You are right, why should I die here!
This is the place where Kong Qin took Kong Jue out to play for the first time after he became a human. It is the lotus pond where Kong Qin, a local, liked to fish for lobsters when he was a child.
Originally, Kong Jue came here for good memories, but now that Kong Qin said it, he lost all feelings.
Being held in Kong Qin's arms, Kong Jue's suppressed emotions erupted all of a sudden, and he didn't care about being ugly or not.
"You can keep other pets, but only after I die."
Kong Qin cried and scolded: "Damn, what you say is like a big wife! If you don't want the little goblin to come in, don't die!"
"Get out! You think I want to die!"
After the weak Kong Jue cursed out of anger, he coughed a few times, his breathing was like a broken bellows, he took a few breaths and said: "If you want to put a photo of me at home, it's best to see me in the period."
"You haven't seen it before. When I bought you, you were the only one that couldn't be sold!"
"Get out! I'm obviously the one with the best look!"
…
The two choked on each other, laughing with tears, and Xie Guanze thought of King Xie again.
If the king felt that he was getting old, would he run away from home
Xie Guanze suddenly felt flustered. He got used to King Xie's company and the three meals a day prepared by King Xie. He suddenly didn't dare to imagine how he would spend when the King was not around.
The king never mentioned finding a girlfriend, but if he didn't mean that to him, found another girlfriend, and moved out of his house, what would he do
For the first time, Xie Guanze seriously examined his feelings for King Xie, and he was surprised to find that his feelings for King Xie had already changed unconsciously.
Maybe it's not love yet, but it's not just the feeling he just thought of as a friend and brother.
More than AUO, not enough lovers.
What should he do
Xie Guanze was more confused than ever.
At this moment, he heard the two people below suddenly fell silent.
what happened
Xie Guanze was worried that something might happen, so he took a few steps down.
He saw that in Kong Qin's arms, Kong Jue's face was covered with fish scales.
Kong Jue struggled, tried hard to look at Kong Qin's face, and said his last words with all his strength.
"Leave the cremation to professionals, you are not allowed to do it yourself, you foodie will not be able to bear it!"
"I'm going to do it myself, I'm going to roast and eat you!" Kong Qin said, tears dripping down Kong Jue's face.
However, Kong Jue closed his eyes with a smile, and changed back into the appearance of the guppy in his arms.
The little one was stiff under the cover of the clothes, stiff and cold.
Kong Qin carefully opened his clothes, looked at Kong Jue's body, finally couldn't control himself, and burst into tears...
Xie Guanze stared blankly, and before he knew it, he found water droplets on his lips, and he licked it, it was salty.
I don't know when, he also cried...
It was like a button that turned on the most feared side of Xie Guanze's heart. He helped Kong Qin deal with the funeral, and continued to be on duty at his post, until the person who took over in the morning came, and returned home in a daze, King Xie had already gone to work.
Obviously physically and mentally exhausted, Xie Guanze didn't want to sleep at all. He sat silently in the living room and turned on the TV to hear the sound.
And just as soon as I turned on the TV, I saw the death of a pet person was being broadcast on the morning news, and the reporter was interviewing the human owner.
A pastoral dog was aging. After running away from home, when the owner looked for it, he found that he was digging his own grave...
"What's the use of digging graves, modern society is cremated, you stupid dog!" The owner cursed, crying in front of the camera emotionally: "You leave as soon as you leave, why do you cook for me? You cook as you cook. Remember to add salt!"
He was holding a bowl of blackened egg noodles, and tears kept falling into the bowl. Xie Guanze twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that this was enough salt.
As soon as the camera turned, the neighbor across the door changed, and he stood at the door and complained to him.
"Your dog is not bad. My Erha was still scolding me when he was about to die. He agreed to open a harem for him, but he only found a girlfriend. I don't even look at the dog who has learned to fight for a husband and a wife after going to online school. Wife system, I agree with female dogs and I don't agree with it either!"
The two human masters hug each other and cry...
Xie Guanze followed suit and wept silently.
The screen changed, the scene changed, and a girl Xie Guanze had seen appeared, the hamster owner whose own hamster turned into a human and was taken away by the neighbor's pet cat, and was almost misunderstood as a child trafficker.
Hamsters also have a short lifespan, only one or two years. They were all over one year old when they became pet people.
In the pet university, the four hamsters have already ushered in the end of their lives before finishing their one-semester courses.
In the end, at the end of their lives, the four hamsters rented the school auditorium and took their owner to perform the birthday present they had prepared for her.
The hostess's favorite "Snow White" once told them a deep memory of a bedtime story.
The hostess is the Snow White, and the four hamsters are the four dwarfs. After handing her over to the prince played by the hostess’ boyfriend, the four hamsters salute the curtain with satisfaction. The next second, the four of them fall down on the stage one after another. , no more breathing...
The reporter followed the report all the way and helped the hostess take a video to commemorate it. In front of the TV, Xie Guanze held a tissue box and kept wiping away his tears...
Familiar and unfamiliar faces, funny and touching last words, the fear and sadness in Xie Guanze's heart became more and more intense.
Even if a pet becomes a human, even if it can tell its own uncomfortable ailments, its lifespan is still limited by biology. Still only a few short years to ten years.
When human beings get married, there are love period, honeymoon period, and running-in period, but pets generally have a short lifespan. After becoming a human, they may have just reached the running-in period, quarreling and conflicting with each other, before apologizing and resolving, the lifespan has already come to an end.
The death of the pet person reminds all the owners that the pet person is still a pet after all, and his life is only a few decades or even a few years. He spends his whole life to accompany and protect you, and you should cherish it.
After the news ended, Xie Guanze was still crying in the living room with a lot of snot and tears.
And the door was suddenly opened from the outside with a "click", Xie Guanze turned his head and met King Xie's eyes.
Looking at Xie Guanze whose crying eyes were moist, King Xie was dumbfounded.
It was embarrassing to be seen by King Xie for his ugly appearance, and Xie Guanze was also dumbfounded.
It took a long time for Xie Guanze to react, he got up, wiped his face, walked over, and said in a nasal voice, "Why are you back?"
"It's your birthday today, you're stupid." Seeing that Xie Guanze could still speak, King Xie heaved a sigh of relief, and teased deliberately, "Is it because I didn't celebrate your birthday that you cried?"
Xie Guanze sniffed hard: "Yes, it's because of you."
King Xie's face became hot, and his mind was full of thoughts. He always felt that Xie Guanze's words seemed to imply infinite.
"Where's my gift?" Xie Guanze walked up to him and held out his hand rudely.
"Ahem, I apologize for your sins. I bought the ingredients specially to make a cake for you!" Then Mr. Xie scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly, "I thought you were sleeping and wanted to surprise you, so I ordered delivery Come to the door, the courier hasn't arrived yet, I'll call to remind you."
"No need, I didn't go to sleep after working the night shift, so I went to catch up on sleep." Xie Guanze yawned, tears streaming down again, "When I wake up, I will have cake and presents."
"Okay, you go to bed quickly, I'll make a cake, I'm sure you like it!" King Xie smiled, rolled up his sleeves and carried the bought ingredients into the kitchen.
Xie Guanze looked at King Xie's back busy in the kitchen, smiled slightly, and suddenly felt that such a day was pretty good.
As long as there is you, the years will be quiet...
one year later.
After all of Xie Dawang's third batch of students graduated successfully, Xie Dawang finally saved enough money and contacts to open his first restaurant.
And his live broadcast popularity is getting higher and higher, and he has successfully become an Internet celebrity by relying on his appearance and the appearance of his students.
On the first day of the restaurant's opening, Xie Guanze asked for leave to join the show, but to his surprise, King Xie didn't take Xie Guanze to the restaurant, but said he would take him to see the sea.
to see the sea
Although Xie Guanze was puzzled, he didn't know what kind of creativity King Xie was working on, so he followed it.
They set off early in the morning, drove for two hours, and arrived at the nearest seaside, where there were more than ten students of King Xie waiting.
Former student, current employee.
After introducing each other, King Xie opened his live broadcast room: "Good morning, comrades! Today, the anchor will show you beautiful men going to sea!"
Xie Guanze was particularly interested in the barrage of netizens, so he also opened the live broadcast room and began to watch.
King Xie pointed the camera at his students on purpose. Today, he deliberately selected the best-looking employees to attract popularity. Then the barrage exploded.
[Beautiful boy goes into the sea, hehehehe!]
[Tell me, I'm not the only one who thinks wrong.]
[No, it’s just you, I’m Xiao Chunjie~]
"It's started, keep your eyes open!"
With King Xie's yell, the students collectively changed back to their original shape, and jumped into the water.
And Xie Guanze also suddenly realized why the king brought him over to see the sea.
The prototypes of these students are all fishing birds, cormorants, seagulls, boobies, etc. Now Mr. Xie is deliberately showing their industrial chain to future customers.
The fish here is always the freshest from the source.
The barrage was excited again.
[It turns out that I really went into the sea... I'm sorry, I was wrong...]
[Actually, I prefer that kind of going into the sea, a group of little brothers, hehehehe...]
[Vulgar, obscene! I like this kind of going into the sea, in the blue sky and the sea, a group of little brothers swimming naked, just thinking about it is romantic~]
[Anchor we don't like to watch birds, people like to watch little brothers, why don't you let them change back to human form~]
[Anchor, we are serious people, we don’t watch birds, but farts/butts are enough.]
Xie Guanze smiled and shook his head, saying that decent people are obviously not serious people.
Fishing back and forth many times, the cormorants, seagulls and boobies who have signed contracts for a long time will naturally not eat raw by themselves. They put the fish in the bucket on the shore and go to the sea again to continue fishing.
When the buckets were almost full, the cormorants, seagulls, and boobies changed back into human shapes and put on clothes. There were too many fish in the buckets, and the large birds were responsible for the transportation.
And when they went ashore and changed into human clothes, King Xie's camera "accidentally" captured their backs...
The barrage exploded again.
This time, not one butt, but a row of farts.
Xie Guanze also felt that it was not good to take a sneak shot like this, and then saw King Xie outside the camera, making a "three" gesture to the cormorants with his hand.
Xie Guanze:? ?
Seeing his doubts, King Xie took advantage of the camera to point at the classmate Eagle who was transporting, and lip-synced: three times the overtime pay, and the handsome man will pay the fee.
Xie Guanze: ...
It turned out that the so-called carelessness was intentional...
Look at the excitement of the barrage, don't you know that most of the so-called "accidents" in the live broadcast are equal to "intentional"? !
[Ah, this figure! I can!]
[Ass hey hey hey hey... ..]
[Ah, for this ass, I can't afford it!]
[Are you buying fish or ass?]
"I don't sell fish." King Xie finally stated his goal, "My new restaurant, a hundred birds will meet a phoenix."
[Where is the phoenix? Who is Feng? I just saw a flock of birds.]
King Xie raised his head and said, "I!"
When he was proud, his white hair stood up high, like a crown on his head.
Xie Guanze silently typed out the subtitles: [Big white cockatoo, there is also a phoenix in its name, nothing wrong with it.]
Meinanji made a good start, making the fans in the live broadcast room very interested in Bainiao Chaofeng Restaurant.
After King Xie returned to the restaurant, he continued to introduce, and took Xie Guanze to watch them one by one.
The best catchers: Osprey, Seagull, Boobies, Live Fishing, Authentic Freshwater Fish and Authentic Saltwater Fish.
The fastest express delivery guarantees you the freshest food: Eagle, you can also catch rabbits by the way~
Best Bird for the Red Case: Butcher Shrike.
The knife kills the fish like a ding jie ox, and there is a smile of enjoyment on the cute face, and the barrage area is full of fear.
The coolest chef in Bai'an: Hummingbird.
The speed of the wings is also suitable for cooking~
Xie Guanze looked at the pocket-sized Hummingbird classmate, who shook his face and flung out the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and typed silently: [Hummingbird is also a bird, there is nothing wrong with it.]
The most handsome waiter: cockatiel, lively and cute, good-natured, good-looking to attract customers.
There are also owl security guards whose heads can be rotated backwards, artificial cameras, and sonic attacks~
Regardless of the menu, just looking at the staff configuration has attracted many local fans to dine, and Bai Niao Chao Feng has also successfully ushered in a good start.
On the first day of the restaurant's opening, there were promotional activities, which was extremely lively.
Xie Guanze stayed with King Xie until the end of the first day of business.
After closing the door at night, King Xie suddenly proposed that he wanted to walk home, and Xie Guanze readily agreed.
In the quiet early morning, the street lights were dim, and there were no pedestrians on the road.
The two were walking on the empty street. In silence, King Xie suddenly opened the door: "Do you know why I chose to open the door today?"
"Today is your birthday."
Today's birthday is not the birthday of King Xie, it was bought, not hatched by himself, and King Xie himself doesn't remember when he hatched.
It was the day when he came to Xie's house, and it has been his birthday since then. Before King Xie turned into a bird, Xie Guanze would prepare a big meal for him on this day.
"You still remember."
Xie Guanze smiled and took out a gold watch, which he specially prepared for King Xie's birthday. There was a parrot drawn with rhinestones on the dial.
King Xie shook his head, "I don't want this, I want a promise from you."
"Promise?" Xie Guanze's heart beat faster, as if he had guessed what King Xie was going to say.
King Xie looked into Xie Guanze's eyes persistently: "On my birthday, can you agree to any request I make?"
Xie Guanze's eyes darkened slightly, and under King Xie's nervous eyes, he finally nodded.
"Can."
King Xie couldn't wait to say: "Then, are you with me?"
Xie Guanze didn't speak, but just put the gold watch in his hand into King Xie's hand.
King Xie was a little disappointed, holding the gold watch, showing a wry smile.
Is it that he would rather send an expensive gold watch to make up for himself than be with himself
"I… "
Before he could utter the self-deprecating words, King Xie saw Xie Guanze take out another gold watch that was exactly the same, and put it on his arm.
"This is you?" King Xie's eyes showed disbelief, he didn't dare to ask loudly, for fear that he might misunderstand what Xie Guanze meant.
Xie Guanze raised his eyebrows: "Couple watch, haven't you seen it?"
The big ups and downs were talking about King Xie's mood at this time. He quickly put the gold watch he detested on his wrist, and kissed it excitedly.
Forgive King Xie who is still his first love, he still dare not kiss his new boyfriend.
Xie Guanze smiled and looked at the kid-like King Xie, feeling the sweetness and youthfulness of love for the first time.
This time, the two went home hand in hand.
On the way, King Xie talked about the short lifespan of pet people without hesitation. Fortunately, the great white cockatoo parrot is a long-lived race, with an average age of many years.
"You were in your twenties when you raised me, and you stayed with me for forty years. When you turned sixty, I made money."
"Okay, everything you say is right."
"I won't be like that group of stupid dogs. If I die, I will leave. If I die, I will die in your arms. Then the house will be filled with photos of the two of us, and no other birds will be allowed."
"Okay, it's all up to you."
"You can pick me up from get off work every day, or I can pick you up, anyway, we have to meet every day."
"it is good."
"I don't want to sleep alone tonight, I want to go back to your room."
"Okay... wait, no!"
"No, you have already agreed, and you cannot go back on your word!"
"No, it's too fast!"
"I have already bought my camp bed, and I cannot return it!"
"Ah, camp bed? All right..."
Xie Guanze: I thought this bird was enlightened, and wanted to have sex when he was emotional, so...
Under the street lamp, the two silhouettes are getting longer and longer, and they meet together. There is me in you, and you in me, as if they are completely integrated...
