Richard glared at the two red-faced parrots angrily, he didn't understand why they were so stupid, they just couldn't learn the pronunciation very easily, and the syllables they uttered were not like four. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It regretted it a little and took on the task on impulse, but now finds it slightly more difficult. Chinese is too complex and difficult, orders of magnitude more difficult than Indo-European languages, and even if it is pronounced correctly but the tone is wrong, it will be incomprehensible to others.

Segments, including phonemes and hyperphonemes - phonemes are vowels and consonants that determine the basic pronunciation of a word, which is largely the same in languages around the world. This is not the case with superphoneme, which includes many aspects of speech, such as stress, nasal, intonation, pitch change, and rhythm, and is difficult to understand in this regard.

Xiao Zi and Pea Huang stood timidly in front of it with their heads bowed, like schoolchildren who had made a mistake.

When Richard saw them like this, he couldn't bear to reprimand them, after all, objectively speaking, they were already learning very fast, much faster than he was back then.

Looking back on the first days, its memories are a little blurry, partly because of the long time involved, and partly because it had not yet become an elf because of the power of faith, but was just an ordinary African gray parrot that was sold as a pet. At that time, it was no different from other gray parrots, and if there was, the only difference was that I met her.

She bought it from a pet store.

yes, the pet shop, it still has a relationship with the pet shop, Richard recalled. It meets her in a pet shop, becomes an elf and then appears in another pet shop, and although the two pet shops are separated by half a world, there seems to be a wonderful red thread that connects them.

It didn't know how she had chosen it from a large crowd of parrots—the species, the size, the feathers, or the eye rim that Zhang Zi'an often mentioned?

The first time Richard heard the word "eye" was from Zhang Zi'an's mouth. There is no exact equivalent to the word "eye" in English, and if you want to translate it, you can at most use a combination of words such as "fateful encounter", "love at first sight", "falling in love", etc., but these phrases are too bloated and superficial to be as delicate and long-lasting as the word "eye".

It knows that it shouldn't scare Purple and Pea Yellow, but if it doesn't, the bird's active instinct will make it impossible for them to concentrate - it's common sense that only by concentrating on learning can it be effective.

Richard still remembers the nervousness and fear when he left the pet store and was taken into the lab, and in the face of the strange woman in the white coat, he wondered what she wanted to do, kill it, or eat it......

Although she tried to express her kindness, its brain was in a state of confusion, unable to understand her kindness, and instead felt even more frightened, and did not even dare to leave the cage. Although the cage imprisons its freedom, it is also its shelter.

What made it even more nervous was that it was not only her and her present, but also the other parrots, a parakeet named "Merlin", who was smaller but rather aggressive, looked at it with hostile eyes, seeing it as an intruder and predator of the territory.

Richard unconsciously compares Merlin the parakeet to several cats in the store. In his opinion, the most terrifying cat in the store is Fina, who turns her face at the slightest disagreement. It's just that Fina's vision is different from Merlin's, and she never sees Richard as a threatening opponent.

In order to calm its emotions, she brought it water and food, but it was so nervous and scared that it did not get a drop of water or rice for almost the whole day...... Hunger, thirst, and fear of new surroundings and new companions tormented it in turns.

Luckily, the next day she realized the reason for this - parrots are also territorial creatures that need to have their own space, especially when they come to a new environment. So, she took Merlin, the long-feathered parrot, to another room, and left Richard alone in a room to comfort her.

Richard, who gradually calmed down, really felt the kindness she had released, and the compassion and care contained in it were not false. She kept wiping the corners of her eyes, muttering "poor little one" over and over again, and fell into a deep self-reproach - because of her inexperience and mishandling, it was subjected to unexpected fear and uneasiness.

Looking at her like this, Richard suddenly had great courage in his heart for some reason, and he wanted to tell her that it was not your fault and that everything would be fine. It didn't know where it heard it, maybe it was in a pet store, maybe it was somewhere else. It wanted to tell her that, but it couldn't, it wouldn't speak. It could only muster up the courage to get out of the cage, jump onto her arm, and rub its head against her white coat, hoping to convey the meaning to her.

She smiled in surprise, and her face softened, as if she had seen an incomparably precious gift. She held out her other hand to groom its unkempt feathers, but stopped halfway through, fearing that she would scare it again.

Trying to prove that he wasn't a coward, Richard flapped his wings and tried to fly, but he forgot that the birdcage was nearby, and his wings accidentally got stuck in the cage's iron bar, and in an instant, blood and pain alternately attacked. It was screaming, and so was she, and the others who had rushed to hear the news were in a mess and bandaging it.

It hurts, it hurts, and it still remembers the intense pain.

Its first official contact with her had a nice start and an incredibly bad ending......

A noise from downstairs woke Richard from his old memories. It shook its head, trying to banish the memories from its mind for a moment—it had become more and more difficult since it became an elf, and every moment with her came back to me as clearly as it had happened yesterday.

Richard lifted his spirits, raised one wing and pointed to the kitchen utensils on display, and said to Xiao Zi and Pea Huang: "Pot, pot, pot, bowl, pot!"

It knew it wasn't smart, and that everything it did was just a poor imitation of her.

The kitchen door was pushed open, and Richard, thinking that Zhang Zi'an was back, immediately changed his face and looked at the door with a hippie smile. It will no longer be sad and weak, for there will be no one to look at it with the same delicate and tender gaze as she has.

It was not Zhang Zi'an who was standing at the door, but Sun Xiaomeng, who was holding a beautiful short.

The same white coat is the same pair of rational and wise eyes.

It's like yesterday_once_more.
