Dubian Che ran towards the forest, where tree trunks rose straight, thin and tall. The daylight, like lasers, shot down from the dense leaves.

He looked at the birds on the branches, "Come here." (Command)

The bird fluttered its wings and landed on Dubian Che's outstretched finger.

By the time he returned to the campsite with his body covered in dew, Kiyono Lin was already up.

She was holding clothes and was about to go to the hot springs for a bath.

"You must be tired from riding and climbing mountains yesterday, yet you're up early," Dubian Che said.

"New environment, couldn't sleep," Kiyono Lin eyed the beautiful bird on his shoulder, "Even birds are getting deceived now?"

"Why not say 'even birds can't resist your charm'?"

"People phrase things differently. So, what's going on here?"

This bird was extremely beautiful, with a body of red except for a yellow feather on its crown, standing proud as if wearing a queen's crown.

Dubian Che had found it with difficulty.

"Not clear about the principles, but it seems to understand my commands," Dubian Che said.

"It seems you really are crazy," Kiyono Lin said with a worried look.

"..."

Dubian Che turned to the bird, "Darling, go for a lap in the sky." (Command)

The bird chirped twice and flapped its wings, soaring into the sky at high speed.

With the blue sky as a backdrop, its diving and soaring form was a delight to watch.

Every so often, the bird returned and landed back on Dubian Che's shoulder.

Kiyono Lin rested her hand on her chin, pondering, "Xiaoquan Aonai traveled through time, you got possessed and turned into a cat, commanded birds... Are you really a superpower user?"

"Aren't you as well? The Mr. Kiyono who can see through lies," Dubian Che said with a smile.

"We really are different from others," Kiyono Lin dropped her hand and smiled prettily, "What are you planning to do with this bird?"

She didn't care about superpower users, but the fact that Dubian Che had become like her made her very happy.

"Today is my anniversary with Meiji, I plan to give it to her."

"Will it understand Meiji's words?"

"I'll make it listen, won't I? Wait a minute, did you just call her Meiji directly?"

"Just addressing her name, I still call you Mr. Dubian," Kiyono Lin said nonchalantly, "Our families are close, her family is all Jiutiao. If I don't call her Meiji, how would anyone know who I mean?"

"So, she used to address you as 'Lin'? "

Kiyono Lin nodded.

"Your relationship is really good," Dubian Che said, "Meiji only occasionally calls me by my name, I'm envious."

"Lies. You're just like me, someone who doesn't care about such formalities," Kiyono Lin asserted.

"Talking to you is really pointless."

"That statement is also a lie."

"End of discussion."

Dubian Che walked towards the campfire, ready to cook, while Kiyono Lin went to the hot springs to bath.

When the campfire was lit, the bird stayed far away, perching on the tent tops where Jiutiao and her group were.

While adding wood inside, the sound of the curtain being lifted came from behind.

Dubian Che turned back to see Jiutiao Meijie emerging in long-sleeved pajamas.

"Up so early today?"

"Couldn't sleep."

"What's wrong?" Dubian Che asked with concern.

"Nothing much. Not used to having people around," Jiutiao Meijie said coldly, tilting her neck and taking a deep breath of the fresh mountain air.

Dubian Che took out a lunch box, added purified water to it, placed it on the campfire to boil, then lit the gas stove to prepare to fry salmon.

"By the way," he turned down the fire and turned back, "I have a gift for you."

"Hmm."

"Come down." (Command) Dubian Che called out, and the bird flew to his hand.

"Found this during morning exercise in the forest, it can understand my commands." While saying that, Dubian Che commanded the bird, "From now on, listen to both of us, okay?"

The bird spread its wings and chirped twice.

"You try," Dubian Che said with a smile to Jiutiao Meijie.

Jiutiao Meijie looked at him coolly, the events of last night still lingering in her heart.

'I will never leave her'—she's no longer the girl from last year's field trip, unsatisfied with just that, she wanted more, she wanted Dubian Che's true love.

"Go to her shoulder." (Command)

The bird flapped its wings and flew from Dubian Che's shoulder, tracing a beautiful arc to land on Jiutiao Meijie's shoulder.

Jiutiao Meijie turned her head to look at her own shoulder.

The bird cocked its tiny head, looking at Jiutiao Meijie.

"Want to give it a name?" Dubian Che turned up the fire and continued frying the salmon.

Jiutiao Meijie looked at the bird and said, "Go down."

The bird left her shoulder, flapping back to Dubian Che's shoulder.

"Go back." (Command)

The bird flapped back to Jiutiao Meijie's shoulder.

"Go down."

The bird again returned to Dubian Che's shoulder.

"Go back." (Command)

The bird landed on Jiutiao Meijie's shoulder.

"Go..."

"Alright, alright." Dubian Che hurriedly said, "Although it's just a bird, you can't bully it like that. It's one of the anniversary gifts I'm giving you. If you're angry, kick me or pinch my ear."

Jiutiao Meijie didn't look at him, just stared at the bird.

"From today, you're named 'Queen,'" she said, stroking the yellow feather, "Come to my hand."

It was hard to see if 'Queen' had spread its wings, but it seemed to lightly hop and landed gracefully on Jiutiao Meijie's delicate, pale fingers.

"What's this prop?" Jiutiao Meijie asked.
