Chapter 104 Envy and Jealousy Make Birds Ugly

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Dormitory at Jiangdu University.

With her phone next to her pillow, Jiang Xiyan curled up into a ball and buried herself completely in the blankets.

Tears streamed uncontrollably down my cheeks.

She knew Xu An must have seen the message she had retracted.

She withdrew, and Xu An took the opportunity to play dumb.

For some reason, her heart ached and she felt terrible. It felt like a huge rock was pressing down on her chest, making it difficult to even breathe.

My heart was pounding uncontrollably, as if something had been pulled out of my heart, leaving it empty.

Sadness washed over me like waves, one after another.

"Waaaaah~"

She tried her best to suppress her sobs so that the other people in the dormitory wouldn't hear.

"Xu An, Xu An..."

""

at that time.

Standing by the window, gazing at the night sky, Xu An's pupils dilated, and he remained motionless, like a statue.

After a long while, a sigh echoed in the quiet night.

"well...

'

"Forget it, why bother thinking about it and causing more trouble? Let's just take it one step at a time."

"Things will work themselves out in the end; there's always a way out. Now let's leave it to fate."

Putting her worries aside, Xu An lay back down on the bed, put her hands behind her head, stared at the ceiling in a daze, and suddenly all sleepiness vanished.

Unable to sleep, I picked up my phone and continued searching for a place.

Forget about this and that, let's figure out how to complete the task first.

I couldn't find a suitable one on any of the various apps, but I unexpectedly came across a manor while browsing local videos.

Xu An's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested.

After watching the video carefully, I found that this manor is quite suitable.

It has mountains and water, and most importantly, it's located on the outskirts of Jiangdu.

He immediately sent a private message to the other party.

The other party did not reply to the message immediately.

Xu An simply started watching videos until he got sleepy, then he put down his phone and went to sleep.

The next day.

The sky was hazy.

This time, Xu An wasn't woken up by his phone ringing, but by the sound of voices outside the door.

"Woof! Master, master! Wake up!" the Border Collie barked at the door.

"Master, are you awake? Open the door quickly," the Samoyed called out.

Outside the window, downstairs.

The black phoenix stood on a tree branch, spread its wings, and sang loudly.

"Wow, what a beautiful morning!"

They say the early bird catches the worm, but why haven't I seen any worms?

The noisy shouts and Xuanfeng's ear-piercing singing made Xu An miserable. He had already gone to bed late last night, and being woken up so early in the morning made him furious.

"Shut up! Go play by yourselves and don't disturb my sleep. If anyone disturbs my sleep again, I'll lock them up!" Xu An roared angrily.

"Hey you singing outside the window! If you sing again, I'll sew your mouth shut!"

Outside the door, the Border Collie and Samoyed trembled with fright at the sound of their owner's shout.

"Brother, let's go downstairs. Master is angry," the Samoyed said weakly.

"Okay, let's play by ourselves." The Border Collie nodded hurriedly and ran downstairs with the Samoyed as if fleeing.

The cockatiel downstairs, who was doing its morning exercise and singing, was also startled. It quickly flapped its wings and flew back to the living room, muttering, "This is my normal morning exercise. You sleep in so early in the morning and then you won't let me do my morning exercise. That's so unfair."

With the noise that usually disturbs sleep gone, Xu An's furrowed brows relaxed, and he drifted back to sleep.

He slept for several hours.

In the living room.

The little ones, who were full of energy in the morning, were all listless, lying on the ground with droopy eyelids.

"Woof, when are you getting up, Master? I'm starving!" the Border Collie said listlessly.

"Hmm, I'm hungry too." The Samoyed lay down next to the Border Collie, looking equally listless.

"Meow~ I'm starving." Even the usually lazy and elegant ragdoll lay on the sofa without any regard for its image, saying weakly.

Looking at the birdcage.

Xuanfeng was placing an insect in the bowl. "Xiaomei, eat up, I just went out and caught some fresh ones for you."

Hu Jinniao remained arrogant, glancing at Xuanfeng: "Heh, trash."

"Who are you calling trash! You ugly, multicolored mottled monster!" Xuanfeng immediately bristled.

"He went out for ages and only brought back a single worm. Do I even need to tell him who the good-for-nothing is?"

The pheasant lowered its head and preened its feathers with its beak. "Envy and jealousy make birds ugly."

"I'm so angry!" Xuanfeng's feathers bristled as she prepared to rush out and fight him.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Xiao Mei quickly spread her wings to soothe the phoenix's emotions.

Xuanfeng nestled into Xiaomei's arms.

His eyes lit up, and a plan suddenly came to him.

"Ah, I understand."

"So it was some lonely bird that was envious. Indeed, envy and jealousy make birds ugly."

The golden pheasant almost fell out of its cage after being retorted like that.

"Hmph, utterly unreasonable." With that, he turned his head away, maintaining his arrogant demeanor.

Just then, the sound of footsteps coming downstairs reached the ears of all the little ones.

"What's wrong with all of them? Why are they all so listless?" Xu An asked curiously, looking at the Border Collie lying on the ground and the Ragdoll lying on the sofa.

"Woof! Master, you're finally awake! We were about to starve to death if you hadn't woken up," the Border Collie said weakly.

"Meow~ Yes, Master, I'm starving to death." The plush toy looked up, looking dejected.

Xu An scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, sorry, I'll get you something to eat right away."

Cat food, dog food, and food for cockatiels and California king cobras were all put into their respective bowls.

The Border Collies, who were already starving, began to feast.

Xu An also prepared a simple breakfast for himself, or rather, lunch would be a more accurate description.

During the meal, he took out his phone and started looking at it while eating.

Jiang Xiyan didn't send a good morning message as usual.

Xu An glanced at it, then closed WeChat and switched to a short video platform to see if the other party had replied to the private message he sent last night.

As soon as I clicked on it, I saw a red bubble.

Are you really interested in the estate? Add me on WeChat so we can discuss things further. Contact information: ...

..

Xu An immediately copied and pasted the contact information and sent a friend request.

Before they had even finished their meal, the other party agreed, and Xu An immediately sent a message.

[Xu An]: Hello, I'm the one who sent you a private message last night. May I ask your surname, sir?

[Mr. Wang]: My surname is Wang. Are you really going to buy that manor?

[Xu An]: We still need to do an on-site inspection. Would it be convenient for you to take me to see it?

Mr. Wang: No problem. Are you free this afternoon?

[Xu An]: I'm free.

Mr. Wang: I'll send you my location in a bit, and we can meet and talk in detail.

[Xu An]: Okay.

After reaching an agreement with the other party, Xu An quickly finished his lunch.

After quickly packing up and grabbing the car keys, I said something to the kids before leaving.

"Everyone, just stay home and play. Remember the rules I set for you yesterday. Anyone who breaks them will be punished when I get back."
