It’s So Noisy, A Friend Gave Me a Pearl Bird – CH47

Chapter 47

Si Jingce felt like his little boyfriend was about to shatter.

And he himself was about to shatter too.

Even in his worst nightmares, he couldn’t imagine such a scene. Never had Si Jingce thought that one day he would sit together with his whole family, watching himself teasing his boyfriend on screen.

The video was a fan edit—clips taken from his livestream and compiled together, about fifteen minutes long.

So one man and one bird endured those fifteen minutes with great difficulty.

When Tangguo finished all her food, Yanyan finally let out a breath of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Si De said disapprovingly, “How can you bully a little bird like that?”

Gui Yaying retorted mercilessly, “And you have the nerve to say that? Who is it that hugs the two cats every day when he gets home and kisses them so hard it sounds like a tractor?”

Exposed on the spot, Si De snorted coldly and said nothing more.

“It’s actually quite cute,” Second Uncle said with a smile. “No wonder everyone likes watching you stream with the little bird.”

Si Jingce nodded calmly, but under the table, he tightly held Yanyan’s hand.

The little boyfriend’s face had turned red all the way to his ears. He kept his head down, not daring to say a word.

Tangguo clapped her hands excitedly. “Bird bird! I also want to touch bird bird!”

Gui Yaying quickly picked her up and coaxed gently, “Be good, Tangguo. Brother took the bird to see the doctor, so he didn’t bring it here. Auntie will take you back to play with the cats later, okay?”

“I want bird bird… bird bird is sick.”

Tangguo pouted and muttered a few words but didn’t make a fuss anymore. She obediently started watching cartoons.

Yanyan looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

“Oh right, you recently took the bird for a follow-up check. How are the results?” Gui Yaying asked casually.

Si Jingce: “It’s alright.”

“A few days ago you borrowed some bodyguards from me,” Gui Yaying continued curiously. “What did you use them for?”

Si Jingce smiled. “Mom, those are your bodyguards. You can just ask them directly what they did that day.”

Another attempt at probing failed.

Si De pressed on, “Is that doctor you found reliable? I just saw the news a few days ago—I never expected Doctor Chen to do such things.”

“Specializing in tricking people out of their pets and conducting illegal experiments…” He snorted. “Good thing I didn’t invest in his research back then, otherwise our family’s pets might have been targeted next.”

After all, he used to be the “royal doctor” for their two cats. After such an incident, it was inevitable to feel lingering fear.

“Speaking of that Doctor Chen,” Second Uncle sighed. “There’s a big streamer in the company who somehow got involved with him and even recommended that doctor during his livestream.”

Second Uncle let out a cold laugh. “Now look—he’s dragged himself into a mess. And there are still people in the company trying to protect him. It’s driving me crazy.”

Luo Huoxi had been strongly backed by the company’s former core team. Now that scandals surrounded him, there were still people trying to shield him at all costs.

Second Uncle glanced at one of his “cash cows,” but swallowed his words. Then he turned to Yanyan, who was showing signs of becoming a new “little cash cow,” and immediately put on a smile.

“Yanyan, I saw your recent stream had pretty good traction. Have you considered developing in that direction?”

Yanyan looked up, swallowing the food in his mouth, staring blankly at Second Uncle.

The “recent stream” referred to that livestream PK.

During that PK with Luo Huoxi, Yanyan had casually translated the words of similar species, attracting a lot of attention. Even now, people were willing to pay high prices to have Yanyan communicate with their pets.

This kind of work was more like a pet communicator. Only Si Jingce knew that Yanyan could truly communicate with them.

Second Uncle quickly pulled up data comparisons. “Your previous food streams didn’t produce obvious results. Besides, Gemstone TV doesn’t lack food streamers—there are quirky ones and high-end ones.”

“Ordinary food doesn’t attract viewers anymore. You have to explore directions others haven’t touched. That track is extremely competitive.”

“But pet communication is different. Very few people are doing it right now, and your trial stream had great feedback. You could consider going deeper into this direction.”

Yanyan absentmindedly bit on his chopsticks. “Can I really do that? If I suddenly change my content, will fans accept it?”

“You have to try,” Second Uncle encouraged. “Experiment with different areas and find what suits you. Your brother even used to livestream solving problems at the beginning.”

Yanyan’s eyes lifted slightly, showing a hint of surprise.

Livestream solving problems? Brother did that too?

Seeing the boy look over, Si Jingce nodded slightly.

At the beginning, he really did stream himself solving problems—and ended up boring away what little audience he had.

Si De, listening from the side, became dissatisfied again and slapped the table. “What’s wrong with livestreaming problem-solving? It’s full of positive energy! Much better than playing games!”

Gui Yaying stuffed a meatball into his mouth. “Be quiet. If your son ends up starving, will you take responsibility?”

Yanyan propped his chin and started thinking.

He could indeed try developing in that direction. Besides, Xiao Li’s side happened to need a publicity channel…

He kept this matter in mind, planning to discuss it with Xiao Li when he got back.

After the meal, the elders all went to the underground parking garage to get their cars.

Yanyan and Si Jingce crouched in a less crowded corner with their little cousin, waiting for the others to drive over.

It started snowing again outside. Tangguo stretched out her hands, trying to catch the falling snow.

Every time a snowflake landed, she would widen her eyes and excitedly grab at it.

But the moment it touched her hand, it quickly melted away.

Yanyan also hurriedly tried to catch snow beside her. Finally, one snowflake landed on his black down jacket and remained perfectly intact.

“Tangguo, look!”

He stretched his arm over. The little girl immediately leaned in, holding onto his sleeve and carefully observing the snowflake. “Waa—”

Seeing her reaction, Yanyan couldn’t help but smile.

“You really like Tangguo?” Si Jingce asked.

“Who doesn’t like little kids?” Yanyan replied. “Kids are so fun.”

Si Jingce said, “That’s because you haven’t met really troublesome ones.”

“They trample flowers while running around screaming, their shrieks can pierce your eardrums, and they even light firecrackers and throw them into cat nests…”

Yanyan’s expression grew more and more horrified.

“Of course,” Si Jingce changed his tone, “that kind of brat would immediately be thrown out by my mom.”

The boy quickly hugged Tangguo tighter. “My little sister would never do that.”

He paused, then added, “If I had kids, I definitely wouldn’t let them throw firecrackers into a cat nest.”

Si Jingce actually imagined that scene.

A mochi ball, followed by a group of tiny mochi balls, all lined up on the table.

At mealtime, the mochi ball would start chirping loudly, and the little ones would join in—“jiu jiu jiu”—urging for food…

Meanwhile, he would be holding a syringe filled with Java sparrow feed, feeding them one by one, trying to quiet them down.

“…Forget it. Let’s not have kids.” Si Jingce lowered his head and kissed Yanyan’s cheek. “One noisy little pearl bird at home is enough.”

Yanyan glared at him. “I’m a male bird—I can’t lay eggs!”

Tangguo, in his arms, looked left and right, then suddenly imitated Si Jingce and planted a loud kiss on Yanyan’s face.

Yanyan immediately giggled.

“Brother,” Yanyan said to Si Jingce, “I have a bold idea.”

Si Jingce already guessed it. “No…”

The boy quickly scanned the surroundings—no cameras, barely anyone passing by. Perfect for doing something!

“It’s fine~ Let’s fulfill a little fan’s wish.” Yanyan coaxed. “Nothing will happen.”

Si Jingce: “What if Mom and Dad find out?”

“If they find out, they find out.” Yanyan said. “You weren’t planning to hide it forever anyway. Besides, no one will believe what a child says.”

Si Jingce hadn’t planned to hide it, but he also hadn’t planned to directly tell Gui Yaying and Si De Yanyan’s true identity—better to let them figure it out themselves.

After hesitating for a moment, he still gave in to his little boyfriend.

Covering Tangguo’s eyes with one hand, Si Jingce watched as Yanyan beside him turned into a little bird.

He removed his hand. Tangguo looked around in confusion. “Yanyan… where did brother go?”

“Yanyan had something to do and left first. Brother prepared another surprise for you.”

Si Jingce opened his coat and found the little Java sparrow hidden inside, gathering it into his palm.

“Guess what’s inside?”

Tangguo leaned in curiously. Si Jingce immediately opened his hand—

A round, adorable little bird popped out. “Jiuji!”

The bird meet-and-greet had begun!

“Waa!” Tangguo shouted happily. “It’s bird bird!”

She carefully took Yanyan from Si Jingce’s hands. The small Java sparrow, in a human child’s hands, looked almost twice as big.

Tangguo gazed eagerly at Si Jingce. “Brother, can I touch bird bird?”

Si Jingce folded Yanyan’s clothes and held them in his arms, nodding.

With permission granted, Tangguo stretched out one finger and gently poked Yanyan.

The fluffy texture spread from her fingertip. With just that light touch, the little puffball in her palm tilted over and fell sideways.

Tangguo froze for a moment. The bird got back up. “Jiu jiu!”

She poked again—and it fell over again.

After repeating this a few times, she found it amusing and burst into laughter.

Yanyan cooperated with the human child, playing through every possible interaction.

When Tangguo got tired, she carefully held the little bird and sat down on the steps to rest.

Yanyan lowered his head to smooth his feathers. Then suddenly, Tangguo lifted him up with great seriousness, raising him very, very high, shouting, “The roc spreads its wings!”

Little Java sparrow: OvO?

The bird did nothing.

Tangguo looked puzzled and repeated the action. “The roc spreads its wings!”

The Java sparrow still didn’t move.

“Brother,” Tangguo returned Yanyan to Si Jingce, “bird bird is broken…”

Yanyan raised his head.

He was a principled Java sparrow! Spreading wings—something that could be considered a courtship behavior for some birds—how could he casually do it for just anyone?

Yanyan hopped onto Si Jingce’s hand.

Si Jingce looked at the bird in his palm. Following his little cousin’s request to “fix the bird,” he tentatively said, “The roc spreads its wings?”

The little Java sparrow immediately spread its wings.

Tangguo: “Waa! Brother, do it again!”

Si Jingce: …

“The roc spreads its wings!”

Yanyan spread his wings again toward Si Jingce.

Tangguo clapped happily. “Bird bird listens to brother!”

“I want to see more!”

Si Jingce could only keep holding Yanyan and continue, “The roc spreads its wings!”

At that moment, a black car slowly stopped in front of the two humans and one bird.

The window rolled down. Gui Yaying sat inside, her expression indescribable.

From a distance, she had already seen her son holding a bird, muttering something repeatedly.

Most importantly…

Gui Yaying’s gaze fell onto the Java sparrow in Si Jingce’s hand.

“Didn’t you just say the bird was taken for a follow-up check?”
