Little Celery didn't know Guo Dongyue. Seeing that he was a stranger, she immediately hid behind the nearest display cabinet and peeked at him with her bright eyes.
Since it was cold in the morning, Guo Dongyue wore a thin turtleneck sweater with a leather jacket and a pair of leather gloves. Zhang Zian was secretly pleased. This guy was wearing more clothes than a primary school student. Ever since he started practicing Wing Chun with Old Time Tea, his physique had become better and better. Even in this kind of weather, he could wear a shirt or undershirt inside and a jacket outside. Sometimes when he felt cold sitting on the recliner, he would stand up and practice the boxing that Old Time Tea had taught him. His body suddenly felt warm.
"When did you get here?" Zhang Zian asked bluntly.
"I have been here for a while." Guo Dongyue didn't come in. He just stood at the door.
Zhang Zian really wanted to find a hole to hide in. Did Guo Dongyue see him acting cool in front of a primary school student? "Why are you guys so secretive? Just say something when you come in. Why are you eavesdropping at the door?" he scolded them with a straight face.
"Sorry to disturb you, but you are in the mood for poetry," Guo Dong Yue said calmly.
Zhang Zian felt that Guo Dongyue was being sarcastic. Although Guo Dongyue didn't show it on his face, he was sure that Guo Dongyue was laughing at him in his mind.
"Next time, I will charge you for mental damage," Zhang Zian mumbled.
Guo Dongyue glanced at Little Celery, who was hiding behind the display cabinet, "Your daughter?"
"How can I have a daughter that old? I don't even have a girlfriend yet! "Zhang Zian roared.
Why did Uncle Li, Guo Dongyue, and even Sun Xiaomeng say that when they first met Little Celery? What if his future girlfriend heard him and misunderstood him? So he had to clarify himself!
Unfortunately, his roar was only heard by the old ladies who were passing by. They had just come back from the morning market and heard Zhang Zian's roar from the bottom of his soul. They couldn't help but give him a flirtatious look.
He was scared and thought that he should add an age limit to his roar next time.
"I … I'm Little Celery," Little Celery said timidly as if she was answering a question in class. She raised her little hand.
"I'm Guo Dongyue, Dong as in winter, Yue as in mountain." Guo Dongyue introduced himself calmly and stiffly. His tone was the same as when he introduced himself to Sun Xiaomeng and Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian complained in his heart. Can you not keep a straight face in front of a primary school student?
Little Celery knew how to write the word "Dong", but the word "Yue" bothered her. Zhang Zian could almost see smoke coming out of her brain due to confusion. He was secretly pleased that his name was simple enough.
Little Celery became very reserved in the presence of strangers. Zhang Zian saw this, so he said to Guo Dongyue, "Bro, can you do me a favor? Since we have nothing to do, can you help me run some errands at that fruit store? Just tell them you're here to get some skewers for the pet shop. You don't have to worry about anything else. "
Guo Dongyue: "…"
"Look, I have to sweep the floor first, then feed these cats before I leave. If you want to wait a little longer, that's fine. I'm not in a hurry anyway." Zhang Zian pointed at Fina and the others who were waiting to be fed. In fact, he wanted to ask Little Celery to look after the store, while he went to get the skewers himself. But since there was free labor, he didn't want to waste it.
Guo Dongyue silently turned around and walked towards the direction of the fruit store.
"If the skewers are not ready, you can wait for a while. Don't rush back. Also, buy some shumai. I haven't had breakfast yet! "Zhang Zian reminded him at the top of his voice.
After Guo Dongyue disappeared, Little Celery patted her chest and felt relieved. It was getting late, so she hurriedly opened her schoolbag and took out a self-sealing plastic bag. She grabbed a small handful of dried fruits and fed them to the hamster and the lop-eared rabbit. Finally, she took out a big red apple and asked, "Brother Store Manager, do you have a knife here?"
"Give it to me." Zhang Zian took the apple and returned to the kitchen on the second floor. He used a kitchen knife to cut the apple into several pieces and put them on a plate.
"Wow! Thank you, Brother Store Manager! " Little Celery took the apple and looked up. She found that the grey parrot had landed on the display case and was staring at the apple without blinking.
"Do you want some?" She picked up a piece and showed it to Richard.
"Quack! I want some! "Richard fluttered down and quickly grabbed the apple with its mouth.
"Ouch!"
Richard moved so fast that Little Celery was a little scared. She was afraid that her finger would be bitten by Richard, so she quickly withdrew her hand.
Zhang Zian flicked Richard's head. "Are you the reincarnation of a hungry ghost? You …"
Richard's beak was strong and powerful. It used its claws to press the apple on the table, pecked it into small pieces, and finished it in a few bites. Then, it continued to stare at the remaining apples on the plate, showing its greedy nature.
Zhang Zian could only cover his face with his hands when he saw Richard's greedy behavior.
"I say, have you never eaten an apple in eight lifetimes?" he complained.
Richard glanced at him with disdain, "Jeff, tell me the truth. Did you buy all of your apples when the street vendors are closing up? They are leftovers. They are small and shriveled, and they taste terrible! "
Zhang Zian was speechless. Richard had seen through him!
Little Celery was not surprised by the conversation between Zhang Zian and Richard. She smiled and handed it another piece of apple, "It's okay. There are more here."
"Quack! Thank you! Little Celery, do you need any birds? The kind that can talk and act cute. "Richard was more elegant this time. It slowly pecked at the apple. The fragrance of the apples assailed the nostrils. They were tender and juicy. It was obvious that they had been carefully selected.
Sh * t! You were bribed by two pieces of an apple!
Zhang Zian wanted to flick it again, but it nimbly dodged.
"Hey, I don't allow pets in my house." Little Celery was curious to see Richard eating. She carefully reached out and wanted to touch its feathers.
Richard didn't dodge. It let her touch its feathers and said while eating, "Do you want a few feathers as souvenirs? They are good as bookmarks. "
Little Celery probably imagined the bloody scene of feathers being pulled out. She was so scared that she withdrew her hand and shook her head, "No, you can keep them for yourself."
Zhang Zian was speechless about the bird. He comforted Little Celery, "It's okay. The bird's fur is too hard, and it's uncomfortable to touch. The fur of cats, dogs, and rabbits is soft and smooth."
"You don't allow pets in your house? Tsk tsk, "Richard said regretfully.
"Yes, my mother doesn't allow pets …" Little Celery was a little discouraged, but then she became energetic again, "I must have behaved badly before. I will definitely work hard!"
Richard finished eating the apple. "Quack? Are you sure this is the reason? "
Zhang Zian's heart skipped a beat. When he first met Little Celery, he took it for granted that her mother didn't allow her to have pets because she was afraid that she would be distracted by them. But was that really the reason?
