"Chirp chirp—"
"The master has returned!"
Birdy Huang fluttered her wings and appeared on Jiang Yuan's shoulder like a streak of light.
She immediately groomed her feathers with her beak before comfortably settling down.
"There's nothing like the comfort of the master's shoulder, and he smells so good too!"
Jiang Yuan smiled and then rubbed the top of her head.
A moment later.
Jiang Yuan sat in the pavilion, and Shu Xiaoxiao poured him a full cup of tea.
"Young Master, are you really going to stay for a long time after this return?"
"Yes!" Jiang Yuan nodded and took a sip of his tea.
Then he added, "I should stay for some time. The exact length is uncertain, but it will be more than a month!"
At these words, Shu Xiaoxiao's face lit up with joy.
"That's wonderful!"
She then stood behind Jiang Yuan, massaging his shoulders.
Another moment passed.
"It really is nice coming back!"
Jiang Yuan let out a slight sigh.
