Since becoming the "Cat Language Translator Master" in the community, Lin Xiaoqiang's reputation in the animal world seemed to have improved (at least in the cat community). Occasionally, he would encounter cats in the park who would "consult" him about human behavior, asking questions like, "Why does that two-legged creature always smile foolishly at its phone?" or "Why do humans like to lock us in cages?"
However, not all animals were kind to Lin Xiaoqiang. The parrot named "Little Chili" raised by Mrs. Cui next door had always been hostile toward him.
This green African grey parrot not only had a fiery temper but also learned to speak fluent "human language." However, it didn’t learn anything nice; instead, it picked up the biting words Mrs. Cui would often use to complain about Lin Xiaoqiang not paying rent.
"Lin Xiaoqiang! You haven't paid rent this month again! Shameless!"
"Lin Xiaoqiang! You're a parasite living off others!"
"Lin Xiaoqiang! Look at how pitiful you are! No wonder you're single!"
These words would come out of Little Chili's beak every day, shooting at Lin Xiaoqiang's fragile heart like a machine gun. Even worse, Little Chili would purposely mimic Mrs. Cui's sharp voice, making Lin Xiaoqiang feel even more humiliated.
"That damn Little Chili! One day, I'm going to pluck every feather off you!" Lin Xiaoqiang thought fiercely, but he knew he couldn’t actually do that. After all, Mrs. Cui was his evil landlord, and if he angered her, things would only get worse for him.
One day, Lin Xiaoqiang was hiding in his small apartment, trying to "nourish" his starving stomach with instant noodle soup, when he suddenly heard Little Chili's even sharper cries from outside the window.
"Urgent announcement! Urgent announcement! Target spotted! The single dog Lin Xiaoqiang is at home eating cheap food! Repeat! Single dog Lin Xiaoqiang is eating cheap food!"
Lin Xiaoqiang almost spit his soup out. This parrot was his nightmare! Not only could it talk, but it also "live-streamed" his miserable life!
Even more absurdly, Little Chili seemed to have learned some new "skills."
One day, Lin Xiaoqiang was drying his few changes of clothes on the balcony when Little Chili flew onto his balcony and, with an incredibly annoying tone, said, "Oh! The single dog's underwear! It looks so pathetic!"
Lin Xiaoqiang's face turned green with rage. He waved a broom, trying to chase this annoying parrot away, but Little Chili skillfully dodged and then let out a sharp, mocking laugh.
"Hahaha! You can't catch me! Can't catch me! Single dog has no stamina!"
Lin Xiaoqiang was on the brink of insanity. He could hear the thoughts of other animals around him, but they would only mock him quietly in their minds. Unlike this damn parrot, which directly attacked with words, it was like mental torture!
He had once tried to "talk" to Little Chili, hoping it would show some mercy.
"Little Chili, please stop saying those awful things, okay?" Lin Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
Little Chili tilted its head and, in a tone that mimicked Mrs. Cui, replied, "Stop pretending to be pitiful! Debts should be repaid! It's only right!"
Lin Xiaoqiang was completely hopeless. Trying to reason with a parrot that had learned the voice of his evil landlord was like playing the lute to a cow!
Just as Lin Xiaoqiang was about to lose his mind from the constant torment of Little Chili, Wang Meili mysteriously showed up.
"Xiaoqiang! I found something super interesting! Mrs. Cui's parrot... it seems to be talking on the phone with someone!" Wang Meili whispered.
"Talking on the phone? How could a parrot talk on the phone?" Lin Xiaoqiang looked at her in disbelief.
"It's true! Last night, I saw Mrs. Cui sneakily put a tiny earbud near the parrot's ear and then talk to it!" Wang Meili said with confidence.
Lin Xiaoqiang was stunned. If what Wang Meili said was true, then this Little Chili... it might have a mysterious "controller" behind it?!
What secrets did this talking parrot hide? And was its hostility toward Lin Xiaoqiang just simple "mimicry," or was there something more to it? A "supernatural mystery" about the parrot was quietly unfolding!17Please respect copyright.PENANAARpLNdCtIg
