It’s So Noisy, A Friend Gave Me a Pearl Bird – CH62

Chapter 62

After being tossed around the whole night, Yanyan’s entire bird-self was a bit slow to react today.

When he finally understood what Si Jingce meant, he froze completely.

No way…?

You can really hear it?

The man in front of him glanced at him and nodded. “Mm, I can.”

Yanyan blinked slowly, staring at him in disbelief.

He secretly tested it—

Brother?

Si Jingce responded, “What’s wrong?”

Yanyan: …………

The bird suddenly didn’t feel like living anymore.

He really can hear it! From the moment he was taken in, he had been hearing everything Yanyan thought.

Still unwilling to give up, Yanyan asked, “Then… how much did you hear before?”

Si Jingce had heard quite a lot.

“You’d sneak snacks while secretly calling me stingy, always hinting and asking for kisses… and after turning human, you got even more brazen—trying every way to take advantage of me. At that point, it wasn’t just thoughts anymore, sometimes it even came through as images in my mind.”

Images too?!

Yanyan shut his eyes, refusing to accept reality.

It’s fine… a lifetime passes quickly…

“Of course… it’s not an all-powerful ability,” Si Jingce added, worried his boyfriend might faint again. “I need to be touching you to hear your thoughts… which is why, when you first turned human, I didn’t immediately realize you were pretending not to know how to walk.”

Wasn’t that basically the same as running around bare in front of him?!

Yanyan glared at him angrily, turned his head away. “I really don’t want to talk to you anymore.”

Si Jingce leaned in to hug him, but the boy slipped away like a fish.

He had no choice but to rub Yanyan’s flushed ear tips, pinch his cheeks.

Really not going to talk to him?

“I know, secretly hearing your thoughts was wrong of me,” Si Jingce said, no longer holding back as he pulled him into his arms and coaxed him gently. “But I can’t turn it off.”

“I can’t just never touch you for the rest of my life.”

He added deliberately, “What if my baby gets hungry? Thirsty? Or feels cold at night?”

Yanyan let out a soft huff.

Seeing him soften, Si Jingce pressed on, “If you’re still angry, how do you want me to make it up to you?”

Of course he had to make it up—and properly!

Yanyan immediately said, “From now on, you have to listen to everything I say!”

“Whatever I want to eat or play, you have to agree. You’re not allowed to say no, and you can’t stop me, and also…”

He paused, his cheeks flushing. “…in bed, you have to listen to me too.”

His waist was still sore, lacking strength, and certain places still faintly aching.

Yanyan gritted his teeth—who would’ve thought… that a moment of pleasure would cost a bird his life afterward.

“Alright.” Si Jingce agreed easily. “But I need to clarify one detail with you.”

Yanyan: “Go ahead.”

“When you say I should listen to you… should I listen to what you say out loud, or what you think in your heart?”

The little bird’s brain froze for a moment.

“…Your thoughts.”

What’s in the heart is the most genuine. What if one day he sulks, says “no” out loud, but actually wants it, and Si Jingce does nothing?

Si Jingce said, “Then if something like yesterday happens—your body is tired and you don’t want to continue, but in your heart you still want to…”

Yanyan: “…Then you should listen to what I say out loud.”

“And what if you get shy and say the opposite of what you mean?”

The topic circled right back.

Yanyan’s thoughts tangled completely. Si Jingce continued, “You said it yourself—you’re just a bird, you don’t really understand things, you can’t control the degree…”

“How about this.” Si Jingce put on a slightly troubled expression. “In bed, you listen to me. Everywhere else, I listen to you.”

Yanyan thought seriously for a long time, then finally nodded.

“Alright, deal.”

Having effortlessly talked him into it, Si Jingce picked up the ring from the bedside and carefully put it on his finger again.

Yesterday, the ring had accidentally scratched a small cut on his chest. He himself didn’t mind much, but Yanyan felt distressed and made him take it off for the time being.

Now lying on the bed, Yanyan raised his hand—his little “bird claw”—and looked at the sparkling ring, carefully touching it.

He suddenly realized… he hadn’t taken any photos yet.

He slowly sat up and started rummaging through the bed. “Brother, have you seen my phone?”

After turning it off yesterday, he had no idea where it went. Si Jingce searched for a while and only found his own.

“Use mine first.”

Yanyan turned it on. It lagged for a moment, then suddenly flooded with calls and messages.

Si Jingce glanced at it. “Help me reply to a few.”

They had been out of contact for half a day—his messages were practically overflowing.

Yanyan held the phone and replied to a few familiar contacts.

[Mom]: Your uncle said he couldn’t find you. Where did you go? You’re not answering calls.

[Si Jingce]: Mom, Brother and I just woke up at the hotel, we didn’t ignore the calls on purpose OvO

[Mom]: Oh, Yanyan… just woke up now? Then go back to sleep.

[Uncle]: Annual Star… where did you go? Other streamers are posting to celebrate, why are you silent?

[Uncle]: Strange. Where are you?

[Si Jingce]: Sorry uncle QAQ, Brother and I accidentally slept until now. He’ll repost soon.

[Uncle]: It’s fine Yanyan, go have fun with Xiao Si 🙂

Yunduan: Bro, you’ve been gone for one hour.

Yunduan: You’ve been gone for six hours!

Yunduan: Damn bro don’t scare me, you’ve been gone for twelve hours!

[Si Jingce]: We just woke up. Did you need something?

Yunduan: Sorry little brother, didn’t mean to interrupt… carry on, I’ll disappear now!

Yanyan tilted his head.

Why did everyone stop replying after just one or two messages?

Si Jingce watched silently from the side.

At this rate, the whole world would probably know what they did yesterday.

After replying, Yanyan dragged him into taking photos of the ring, then finally returned the phone.

Soon after, he found his own phone under the pillow.

Half a day had passed since the awards ceremony, but the internet was still buzzing. People were discussing outfits, performances—but most of all, Si Jingce and Yanyan.

Not only had they openly come out, but what happened yesterday was too juicy.

Even though Yunduan had clarified their relationship was fine, curious netizens kept digging.

Result: the two of them had completely disappeared for half a day.

No Weibo posts. No updates. Not even seen at the after-party.

Very suspicious.

Si Jingce turned off the phone.

Posting could wait. Right now, the priority was taking care of his boyfriend, who couldn’t even get out of bed.

Said boyfriend was staring blankly at the ceiling, frowning.

“Hungry?” Si Jingce asked. “You used a lot of energy, eat something.”

“Don’t want to.” Yanyan shook his head, touched his stomach, and sighed. “It’s full of your protein. I’m stuffed.”

Si Jingce: ……

Seems he really is full—this little glutton doesn’t even want food…

After saying that, the boy hesitated, then quietly scooted closer and leaned into his arms.

“Brother…” Yanyan pressed his lips together. “Does your ability… have side effects?”

Turning into a human had cost him a lot. His mutation phase had been painful.

Thinking of that, he couldn’t help but worry.

Would Si Jingce’s ability also have side effects?

Would it hurt too?

Si Jingce gently rubbed his cheek. “So far, none.”

“The first time I heard your voice, I went to see a psychologist. Nothing was wrong… later I asked Xiao Li, he couldn’t explain either.”

He thought for a moment. “Maybe it’s like your mutation phase. Something changed in my body, giving me this ability… we just haven’t figured it out yet.”

Hearing there were no side effects, Yanyan finally relaxed.

“But it’s still unknown,” Si Jingce smiled. “I should also try… to understand what my boyfriend is thinking without cheating.”

Yanyan nodded. “True. Maybe it’s not bad at all—it even brought us together!”

If Si Jingce hadn’t heard the little bird’s thoughts at the beginning, maybe he wouldn’t have kept him… or would have given him away.

Then they would have missed each other.

As if fate had already decided—they were meant to be together.

No one could separate them.

Thinking this, Yanyan suddenly became energized. “For our destined love, I’m going to study hard, go abroad, make money, buy a wedding house, hold a wedding, and bring brother back to my bird nest!”

“School can wait,” Si Jingce said. “Wedding first.”

Yanyan smugly pecked him. “I knew you couldn’t wait either.”

Then he added, “But I’ll design your ring.”

He wanted to give brother a ring too—lock him down properly.

That way, Yanyan would be a little pearl bird with a human of his own.

…

Late at night, just as the awards buzz was dying down, the Annual Star finally posted on Weibo.

No caption. Just a photo.

Sleepy netizens clicked it open—and instantly got hit with sweetness.

The crystal trophy had been stuffed with coconut shreds, turned completely into a cozy bird nest. Sitting in the middle was a tiny beige pearl bird.

The bird looked at the camera, its orange cheek patches bright, and on its head sat a diamond ring—like a tiny crown.

Not long after, the Best Newcomer replied in the comments with another photo.

Two hands intertwined.

The ring that had rested on the bird’s head was now firmly on the boy’s ring finger, the diamond reflecting rainbow light in the sun.
