Lou Yuzhu adopts a parrot from a friend, raising it from hatchling to adulthood with the utmost care and affection. She names it Tao Tao. Little Tao Tao has a soft yellow-green plumage, a light aquamarine tail, and an overall pastel-like appearance—a bird as elegant as a dream. Always gentle, affectionate, and friendly to people, Tao Tao never caused any trouble. Until one day, Lou Yuzhu brought a man she was dating home for dinner. That night, Tao Tao became depressed, plucking out its own feathers in distress. To help her beloved pet recover, Lou Yuzhu banned the man from stepping into her home again. She even borrowed a handsome male parrot from the bird market, hoping to cheer Tao Tao up. Tao Tao, however, was furious. It knocked over its food bowl, crashed into windows in a fit of rage, and nearly injured itself out of sheer anger. Frightened, Lou Yuzhu quickly returned the male parrot to the market. Cradling Tao Tao, she cooed and reassured the bird: “Okay, okay, I’ll only keep you. Be good, don’t be mad. You’re my prettiest, sweetest little baby.” [Tags- Adorable Pet | Tsundere | Slow Burn] [This novel is translated, 2-3 chapters / days, CT: 黛鸦青]
