After coming back from skiing, Bai Qingnian became suspicious of the little baby's identity, and Gu Xiefeng knew it.
Bai Qingnian brought back the feather that inexplicably appeared while he was eating in the restaurant, and later gave it to a friend who could do an identification.
The result was just as Bai Qingnian thought, it was the same species as the little parrot they had raised before.
When he learned of this conclusion, Bai Qingnian felt horrified and was really scared.
The little parrot had been away from them for a long time.
But he saw feathers appear several times for unknown reasons, and they were all related to Xiao Yuanyuan.
The biggest suspicion undoubtedly falls on Yuanyuan.
No matter how Bai Qingnian thought, he couldn't convince himself. He couldn't believe that Yuanyuan could really have transformed from a little parrot.
Naturally, he told Gu Xiefeng about this matter, and also told him about the previous incident with the feather.
Gu Xiefeng didn't believe it and didn't even take it to heart.
Bai Qingnian didn't listen to a word of his suspicion and guess, thinking that he was overthinking.
At that time, he said to Bai Qingnian: "How could Yuanyuan be a parrot? This is not a fantasy film. How could a parrot turn into a human? It is absolutely impossible. It should just be a coincidence. Don't think too much. You even took it to someone for identification. Hahahaha..."
Bai Qingnian was so angry that he punched him: "But it's really strange. Feathers appear again and again. Don't you think there's something wrong?"
"Think about the first time we picked up the little parrot, wasn't that an accident? If we could encounter it the first time, we can encounter it again in the future."
Gu Xiefeng just didn't believe these words.
How could a parrot turn into a human? How could such a fantasy exist in modern society
Impossible. Impossible.
The way Xiao Yuanyuan came to them was a little strange, but he was just a normal human baby. How could he have transformed from a bird
Absolutely not.
So when Xiao Yuanyuan spread out her wings in front of him, Gu Xiefeng felt as if something in the worldview he had always believed in was shattered.
Broken into pieces, in a mess, beyond recognition, and shattered into pieces.
The first blow wasn’t enough to make Gu Xiefeng faint.
When I saw him, he was stiff, but not yet fainted.
Until Xiao Yuanyuan folded his wings in front of him again.
The wings appear and disappear at will.
The scenes in the real world are more sci-fi than those in sci-fi movies—who can stand this? In short, Gu Xiefeng couldn't stand it.
My whole body suddenly froze and stopped functioning, my head was spinning, and I passed out.
I fainted twice.
He felt like he had been unconscious for a century, but in fact, it was only twenty minutes later when he opened his eyes.
On the bed, Bai Qingnian sat beside him.
Seeing him wake up, Bai Qingnian breathed a sigh of relief: "If you don't wake up, I'll really call an ambulance to take you away. How can you be like this? You were giving the child a bath, and the child is fine, but you passed out first."
Take a bath and pass out.
The memory came back instantly.
Thinking of the scene of Xiao Yuanyuan spreading and folding its wings in front of him, Gu Xiefeng felt a chill down his spine.
It's true, fucking true.
He didn't know how to organize his words, how to tell Bai Qingnian what he saw, how to describe to him the shock he felt in his heart at that moment.
He couldn't say it.
"Where is Yuanyuan? Where did he go?"
Gu Xiefeng asked cautiously, because it was too absurd, and in his heart he still had a glimmer of hope that what he had just seen was an illusion in his mind and not real.
"You said he fainted, and Yuanyuan was frightened. He hasn't eaten yet. I just asked the housekeeper to carry him downstairs to eat."
Okay, it can’t be an illusion, it’s all real, Gu Xiefeng accepted his fate.
He grabbed Bai Qingnian's wrist and patted the back of his hand: "I have something I must tell you right now. Let me think about how to say it. I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I doubt my life."
Bai Qingnian: “???”
Bai Qingnian: "What's wrong? Tell me slowly."
"I was giving Yuanyuan a bath just now, and he had wings on his back." He held Bai Qingnian's wrist tightly and couldn't let go, and spoke very quickly, "The little parrot you told me about before, the pink little parrot, was him, damn it, it was true."
Bai Qingnian was stunned: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
This is what it means to wake up from a coma. Doctor Bai's occupational disease kicked in, and he pushed Gu Xiefeng back to the bed: "Come on, lie down first. Are you still dizzy? Can you see clearly what this is?"
"What I said is true! I just saw it!"
Bai Qingnian's reaction actually calmed Gu Xiefeng down, and he just wanted to explain it to him and make him believe it.
Bai Qingnian comforted him: "Okay, I believe you, I believe you, don't be anxious, take your time, and take a deep breath."
I was already thinking about calling an ambulance and taking Gu Xiefeng for a check-up.
"I! Know! It! Very! Clearly!" Gu Xiefeng said, "You smashed my car window the first time we had a fight! Go and call Yuanyuan! It's true! It's true!"
Bai Qingnian: “…”
It seems that the consciousness is clear.
But how can people believe what he said... Before, when Bai Qingnian was doubtful, it was Gu Xiefeng who didn't believe it. Now that Gu Xiefeng said it, it was Bai Qingnian who didn't dare to believe it.
He had convinced himself that this was a coincidence and that Xiao Yuanyuan could not have transformed from a little parrot.
"Are you sure you didn't faint in the bathroom and have hallucinations?"
"I'm sure and certain!" The scene was so exciting, "While I was washing him, his wings popped out! And then they retracted!"
All the dirty words came out.
It can be seen that he was really stimulated.
Bai Qingnian didn't see it with his own eyes, but just hearing what Gu Xiefeng said made him nervous.
Even though there have been such bold guesses, it is still hard to accept the truth.
Is this a little parrot that has transformed into a human? How should I put it? Is it a little monster? Or a little elf
It could have frightened Gu Xiefeng to death. What was the scene like
The two parents were speechless for a moment.
Bai Qingnian looked at Gu Xiefeng: "If this is true, then what should we do..."
Gu Xiefeng didn’t know either. It was the first time for him to experience something like this. How could he have any experience
After a long period of strange silence, Gu Xiefeng asked, "This can't be a story about a parrot repaying a favor, right? We saved the little parrot, and it loves us, so it came to be our son?"
He threw back the quilt and tried to get out of bed.
"where you go?"
"I'll go check it out again. I can't f*cking accept this."
Gu Xiefeng walked a few steps to the bathroom. The situation was chaotic just now and the bathtub had not been filled with water yet.
Sure enough, there were several large pink feathers floating on the water.
Now there is complete evidence.
The feather is the best explanation. This is the fourth time Bai Qingnian has seen it, and he has to believe it no matter how much he refuses to.
He is about to faint too.
How could this be true? This could actually be true.
After looking at each other, Bai Qingnian didn't know what to say, and Gu Xiefeng also remained silent.
"It's not like he came here just to harm us... I think Yuanyuan is no different from an ordinary child..."
Bai Qingnian was reluctant to give up his little wish.
He was used to treating Xiao Yuanyuan as his own child. Even if he was a parrot, he couldn't let go of these feelings. In his eyes, Xiao Yuanyuan was just a spoiled and greedy kid.
Gu Xiefeng understood what he meant and was thinking the same thing as him.
Although he was really scared just now, he was now calm and had no intention of giving up Xiao Yuanyuan.
The days I spend with Xiao Yuanyuan are mostly happy and healing.
They treat Xiao Yuanyuan as their own child, and Xiao Yuanyuan is also very dependent on them. These interactions will not change whether he is a human or a parrot.
"Bring Yuanyuan here first. We need to know why he came to our side."
No one dared to speak out what they were thinking, so Gu Xiefeng said something tentatively first.
After making sure that Bai Qingnian's ideas were consistent with his own, he continued: "If you are just to be our son, then continue to be one."
Bai Qingnian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay."
Maybe he shouldn't be able to accept it, or he should faint like Gu Xiefeng.
But it seems like there is none.
He just couldn't bear to part with the child, and the moment he accepted the truth, he was most afraid of losing him.
But just as the two of them came out of the bathroom and before they walked out of the bedroom, the housekeeper came in holding Xiao Yuanyuan.
"The young master refused to take a nap and insisted on coming here, so I sent him here."
Xiao Yuanyuan walked in by herself.
His eyes were red, he must have cried just now, and he looked at Gu Xiefeng with some guilt and regret in his eyes.
This expression almost made both parents soften their hearts at the same time.
Bai Qingnian suddenly remembered many things Xiao Yuanyuan had said, that he wanted to be their child, to be part of a family, to be a baby with a home... He felt distressed, was this the reason
Gu Xiefeng said to the housekeeper: "It's okay, you can go out first."
The butler stepped back: "Yes."
There were only three of them left in the room.
Xiao Yuanyuan was very sad when she knew her identity was exposed.
He should have been more vigilant. But now there was no turning back. He didn't know when the giant crane would come and crush him. He could only say goodbye to his fathers.
Thinking about it, tears started to flow uncontrollably.
He wiped it off stubbornly with his sleeve and comforted himself that it was okay, although these days were short, he had spent a lot of happy time with his fathers.
He did many things that other little parrots couldn't do, and he was still a very happy little parrot.
When Bai Qingnian saw him crying, he couldn't help but want to hug him and comfort him.
Their child Yuanyuan should be a good baby who always has a smile on his face and can bring good mood to others.
Little Yuanyuan spoke with a sob: "... I, I want to say goodbye to, Dad..."
Bai Qingnian's tears almost fell.
He never thought that Xiao Yuanyuan would start by saying these words.
"…Thanks, Dad, for taking care of me… But I can’t be your child anymore…"
Because his true identity is exposed, he will be smashed, and the fathers will forget about him.
Not wanting his fathers to see that scene, he decided to leave and go farther away so as not to scare his father.
"... You put me at the door, and a big bird will come to pick me up..."
But he still feels sad, he really wants to be with his dads forever, why should he be a little parrot instead of an ordinary human child
Will they have other children in the future, human children as well? Will they treat their human children the same way they treat him
Although I know that being remembered is an impossible thing, I still can't help but desire it.
“… You guys, don’t forget to wish. Remember to wish.”
Bai Qingnian couldn't help but ask: "Then where are you going, Yuanyuan?"
“… I wish I could go home, to where I came from.”
He didn't want to tell his father the truth. He thought the scene of the eggs being smashed was scary and he couldn't scare his father again.
"Does Yuanyuan have to go back?" Bai Qingnian really couldn't bear to let her go. The crying voice of the little baby made him choke with sobs. "Yuanyuan can stay here, can't she?"
Xiao Yuanyuan stood there, trying hard to hold back her tears.
He really wanted to stay here. How great it would be if he could stay here, stay with his fathers forever, and be their little baby.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Bai Qingnian squatted down and said, "Then let daddy hug Yuanyuan again, okay?"
Xiao Yuanyuan looked at Bai Qingnian intently.
The next second, she threw herself into his arms like a gust of wind and burst into tears.
He was angry that he did not fold his wings properly and exposed his identity.
I was making a snowman with my dad in the morning, so why did I have to leave them in the afternoon
He hugged Bai Qingnian's neck tightly. He really loved his father and didn't want to leave them at all.
"Yuanyuan, be good and don't cry." Bai Qingnian hugged his soft little body and coaxed him.
After coaxing the little one to stop crying, I asked, "Would you like to be daddy's baby anymore?"
"Yuanyuan wants to do it..." Little Yuanyuan was very sad, "But, Yuanyuan, I can't do it..."
"why?"
"… Because, Yuanyuan, is a little bird… Dad, I know…"
Hearing Xiao Yuanyuan admit it in person felt even more incredible than hearing Gu Xiefeng say it.
It really was a bird, the little parrot they picked up and took home to raise.
Such a thing actually happens in the world.
Bai Qingnian took a breath and tried to accept it.
Still want to keep their little baby: "… It doesn't matter if daddy knows, Yuanyuan is still our little baby."
"But, but..."
It's him who can't do it.
His identity was exposed, and he had no household registration. The big crane would come and smash him, and he would disappear. There would be no Yuanyuan anymore, and he could no longer be the fathers' little baby.
The window suddenly banged.
Bai Qingnian and Gu Xiefeng turned around and saw a white crane flying down.
The window opened automatically, and the cold wind blew in. The white crane landed on the windowsill and spread its wings: "Little parrot, I'm here to take you away."
This scene made Gu Xiefeng feel cold from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
A bird that can speak human language! A bird that speaks human language!
He pinched his Ren Zhong point desperately to prevent himself from fainting.
Bai Qingnian also felt a chill.
It's disgusting that a bird can speak human language.
But he held Xiaoyuanyuan tightly and didn't let go: "Where are you taking him?"
The big crane ignored him.
With a flap of its wings, a cold wind blew into the house, causing Bai Qingnian and Gu Xiefeng to close their eyes.
It wanted to use the wind to blow Xiao Yuanyuan out, but Bai Qingnian pressed Xiao Yuanyuan against his chest to protect him and did not let go.
When the wind died down, the crane said, "Give him to me."
Bai Qingnian held Xiao Yuanyuan in his arms, and Xiao Yuanyuan also held Bai Qingnian and refused to let go.
Several strings in Gu Xiefeng's brain had completely broken, and he had lost all feeling.
Standing in front: "What kind of bird are you?"
The big crane used magic to pull Xiao Yuanyuan out of Bai Qingnian's arms.
Xiao Yuanyuan screamed and shouted no, no.
Bai Qingnian couldn't catch him and could only watch Little Yuanyuan float to the side of the big crane.
A golden halo surrounded the little wish, and the eggshell grew from the bottom upwards, quickly covering half of the little wish.
Xiao Yuanyuan was so frightened that he was scared to death. He was going to be smashed to pieces and die.
He burst into tears and shouted, "Dad, Dad, save Yuanyuan."
Gu Xiefeng was just a hair away from fainting on the spot, but he managed to hold on, his mind blank: "What are you going to do to Yuanyuan? Don't do these things. If you have the guts, come down and fight me one on one."
The big crane looked at him with contempt.
Fighting a bird one-on-one is really impressive.
But we still have to go through the process and explain it to them.
"He was the little parrot you picked up and took in three months ago. He refused to listen to my advice and insisted on becoming your child. Unfortunately, he did not meet your requirements, so I will take him away and erase your memories at the same time."
"What requirements have not been met? Why do you take him away? Why do you erase our memories? He is our child, give him back to us now."
"He's a parrot."
"A parrot is a parrot. Aren't you speaking human language? Do you think we are scared?"
Bai Qingnian stood beside Gu Xiefeng and supported him.
He looked very clear and determined, but he was really afraid that Gu Xiefeng would faint again.
Don't blame him, this scene is indeed not something that ordinary people can bear.
The giant crane wanted to stuff Gu Xiefeng's mouth.
But according to the rules, he also cannot use violence against humans.
I just explained: "You are not married, and you don't have a household registration. From the legal perspective of human society, he is not yet recognized as a child by you. And his identity has been exposed. This is the rule, and I must take him away."
Now the two parents finally understood.
Marriage, household registration, and family, so this is what it means.
No wonder the little guy cares so much about it, this is a way of acknowledging his identity.
"We will be getting married soon and will register him soon. You can't take him away. And no father should know the true identity of his child. He is our child and we have the right to know what he is. We raise him and we don't care whether he is a parrot or not. We don't need you to make the decision for us."
The big crane was stunned: "But according to the regulations, you can't know."
Gu Xiefeng said: "Can't we just follow our rules in our family? Why do I have to listen to you when I come to the human world? Besides, the household registration is just a piece of paper. Who said Yuanyuan is gone? We are not married, but he has been registered for a long time. He has been our Gu family's child for a long time."
“That’s not enough proof.”
"Then you should let us know what the requirements are earlier, and let us do these things. He is just a little over three years old, and he can't even speak clearly. How do you expect him to do these things? Don't you reflect on whether your rules are too harsh?"
"Human, please don't speak too much."
"Your rules were unreasonable and unfair from the beginning. We didn't know anything and there was nothing we could do. If we had known earlier, we would have done this a long time ago."
Little Yuanyuan's mouth was sealed by the big crane's magic, and the eggshell had risen to the level of his neck.
The parents were extremely anxious: "Give the child back to us! He came for us and we accepted him. Why do you want to take him away? Isn't your behavior contradictory?"
The big crane was angry and said, "You are just making too many excuses."
Gu Xiefeng refused to give in: "You don't understand human emotions at all. The feelings of parents towards their children, and children towards their parents, cannot be explained by a few pieces of paper. You should return the child to us now."
"You humans are only good at sweet talk." The great crane said, "If you really want to give something, what are you willing to give for him?"
"We give him whatever he wants."
The eggshell has completely wrapped up Little Wish-Yuan, and the egg slowly floats in front of the big crane.
The big crane spread its wings, and the huge egg shrank a little. The white eggshell turned pink, the color of little Yuanyuan's feathers.
"Human, how can you prove what you said?"
Gu Xiefeng and Bai Qingnian didn’t know what it was going to do, but Xiao Yuanyuan’s egg was in its hand, which made them extremely nervous.
Gu Xiefeng's tone became much better.
In fact, his mind had been blank since the beginning, and everything he said was an instinctive reaction.
He said: "… You can make your request, but if you can't prove it, I lose."
The big crane turned the egg around, and then the egg slowly floated over, and finally floated in front of Bai Qingnian.
Bai Qingnian quickly reached out and hugged it. It was still a hot egg.
"Then hatch him out and prove to me that you really treat him as a child."
In the end, the big crane couldn't bear to smash the little wish with his own hands.
It watched the little pink parrot being born and always favored him. At this point, it still made a break for him and broke the rules to give him other opportunities.
"He originally had half a year to become your real child, and now there are only about three months left."
The big crane spoke slowly.
"But as an exception, I have to take back some time and give you only twenty days. In these twenty days, hatch him. Then you can get married, register him, and obtain the necessary legal certificates. If you do that, I will allow him to stay with you as a little parrot."
"If you don't do it, he will die in the egg and disappear forever. And you will always keep this memory and regret and suffer for the rest of your life."
"How about it, humans, can you do it?"
Although none of them had any experience in hatching eggs, they had the chance now and they couldn't let it go. "Of course I can do it. I will definitely do it."
"You must also protect his identity and never let a fourth person know about it. If anyone else finds out, no matter how old he is or whether he has grown up, I will come and take him away. And I will not be as kind as I was this time and give you an explanation."
If the two parents were calmer, they would have noticed what the big crane said, that the fourth person must not be informed.
This means that besides the two of them, a third person already knows about it.
But they were indeed flustered and didn't pay close attention to this point. They just hurriedly responded: "Okay, we will definitely keep his identity secret and won't let anyone else know."
"This is your last chance. Although your human life is worthless, every magical parrot is precious. He stays in the world for you. I hope you will learn to cherish him."
The big crane is also a vengeful mouth cannon: "I don't understand your human emotions, I hope you can prove it to me and convince me. Please don't let me leave you with a memory that will make you suffer for the rest of your life."
After saying these words, the big crane flapped its wings and flew away.
The window closed again as it left.
The house, which had just been in a mess due to the wind he had stirred up, has now miraculously returned to normal.
It was quiet.
Holding the egg in their arms, Bai Qingnian and Gu Xiefeng looked at each other.
It seems like an illusion, but also like a dream.
In short, the giant crane had flown away for a long time, but Gu Xiefeng was still confused and felt that everything was unreal.
Until his eyes fell on the egg in Bai Qingnian's arms.
Little Wish has disappeared. He is now hiding in this egg. What they need to do next is to hatch this Wish egg which is bigger than an ostrich egg.
Gu Xiefeng reached out and touched it, and found that the egg was warm.
And their children were inside.
Gu Xiefeng exhaled and was the first to break the silence: "What just happened, is it true..."
Bai Qingnian was still in a state of disbelief. What an incredible thing that they had encountered.
He nodded woodenly: "... Yeah, it's true."
Gu Xiefeng withdrew his hand, unable to tell whether his mind was still blank or confused at this moment.
He actually quarreled with a bird that could speak human language, and the quarrel lasted for such a long time.
"Okay, I'll stay unconscious for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiefeng's eyes went dark, he kicked his legs, and fell directly onto the bed behind him.
The author has something to say: Gu Xiefeng: Died at the same place today
It's Heng (heng), not Yan (yan) or Xing (xing).
