    Indeed no one knows, but some birds do.

    And not the good kind of birds.

    T/N: Yes, the kind of bad Zigui(cuckoo) bird

    Qin Zigui sat on the hospital bed, barely noticeable, he smirked slightly when he saw the message received by the system backend: “Hope Qin Zigui’s injury gets better soon, and doesn’t hurt so much,” then lightly pressed the approve button with his fingertips.

    Outside the door, Sheng Yan, with a cool expression, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    He didn’t expect this wish system to be quite humane. Although there are only two wish opportunities per week, the wishes that haven’t been fulfilled can still be revoked and reissued.

    Originally, he wanted to wish for Qin Zigui’s immediate recovery, but he was worried that such an abnormal phenomenon might cause social upheaval and national chaos. There was also a possibility of the wish being rejected due to its extraordinary nature. So, he decided to take a more gradual approach.

    Fortunately, the system agreed, so if it could alleviate the pain a little, it would still be beneficial.

    Sheng Yan thought about Qin Zigui’s appearance, silently enduring the pain with beads of sweat forming on his forehead, tapping the edge of his phone with his fingertips, feeling a bit uncertain.

    Although the tasks released by this app are not illegal for now, they are a bit unpredictable.

    For example, for a primary wish like the primary task of copying homework, it was enough to sleep with Qin Zigui, but for leaving the Feng Shui treasure land, it required passing all subjects in the comprehensive exam. The difficulty level was completely unpredictable, and there was no pattern to follow.

    So if this task is simple, it’s okay. But if it’s too difficult…

    Forget it, difficult is difficult, so what if it’s extremely difficult?

    Who is he, Sheng Yan, the leader of Shiwai, as long as it’s not illegal, there is nothing this app won’t dare to issue, there is absolutely nothing he, Sheng Yan, can’t do, even if it’s reaching for the moon in the ninth heaven or catching turtles in the five oceans, he…

    Huh?

    Before Sheng Yan could finish his thoughts, a task message popped up on the screen: “[Wish Task: Take care of Qin Zigui personally for 24 hours, fulfill all his needs, stick close to him, no losing your temper]”

    And he froze on the spot.

    Take care of him, okay, but what does “personally take care of” mean? And to fulfill all his needs, and no losing temper?

    Doesn’t this app know how annoying Qin Zigui can be? How could it be possible to stick close to him for 24 hours without losing temper?!

    This kind of trash task is simply impossible to complete!

    Sheng Yan was very angry.

    Then he clicked on [Accept Task] fiercely.

    Forget it, humans and birds don’t share the same eyesight. Since he decided to repay kindness, then he will do it to the end. Just consider it giving a little face to the orange cat.

    Just as he was thinking, the door creaked open.

    Sheng Yan looked up, just in time to see Qin Ru standing at the door, holding the cat and saying, “Aunt Qin.”

    Qin Ru looked at the cat in his arms and smiled, “Is this the cat that Zigui mentioned you wanted to keep?”

    “Oh? Oh, I think so.”

    Sheng Yan wanted to pretend he hadn’t heard their conversation just now, but it didn’t come out naturally.

    Fortunately, Qin Ru didn’t pay attention to it, just lowered her head to look at the cat.

    Although this cat was a bit thin and dirty, and not a purebred, its eyes were round and shiny, particularly smart. Despite being a bit more handsome than other orange cats, it was a very cute and likable cat. It’s no wonder Sheng Yan liked it.

    Qin Ru liked small animals and plants, and since Qin Zigui rarely made any demands, seeing this cat was indeed very likable, she thought it would be nice to bring it home. She touched its head and asked, “What’s this cat’s name?”

    “M…” Sheng Yan originally wanted to say its name was Meow Meow, but when the words reached his lips, he suddenly remembered the scene of being caught calling it Meow Meow in the alley. So he changed his mind and looked at Qin Ru, and confidently said, “It’s a little male cat, named Cuckoo.”

    T/N: Cuckoo in english

    Suddenly, the cat, now named Cuckoo, turned back in shock, “?”

    Sheng Yan covered its eyes again.

    Qin Ru seemed to think she misheard and confirmed again, “Cry cry?”

    T/N: Cry Cry in chinese pronounced as Ku Ku

    Sheng Yan ignored Qin Zigui’s questioning eyes not far away, and nodded firmly, “Yeah, it’s called Cuckoo, C, u, c, k, o, o, the cuckoo bird.”

    “…”

    Qin Ru glanced at Qin Zigui, “What do you think?”

    After all, the male cat would need to be neutered later, so it was necessary to consider the opinion of the people with the same name. But Qin Zigui just leaned on the bed and looked at Sheng Yan, his eyes narrowed, seemingly unfriendly, as if he wasn’t quite satisfied.

    Sheng Yan raised his chin slightly, as if he didn’t intend to back down.

    Seeing that they were about to start a fight again, Qin Ru was about to speak out to persuade her, but Qin Zigui looked back calmly: “Well, let’s call it cuckoo.”

    The words to stop the fight had just reached Qin Ru’s lips: “…?”

    Is this a compromise?

    Fine.

    She finally understood that Sheng Yan’s hobby was to challenge Qin Zigui’s bottom line, and Qin Zigui’s hobby was to constantly change his own bottom line.

    The game between the two brothers has nothing to do with her being an aunt.

    “Okay, if you want to call it cuckoo, then call it cuckoo. Then I will take it to the pet hospital for a physical examination and buy some necessary things. You go home first and I will ask the driver to take you there.” Qin Ru took it from Sheng Yan’s arms. 

    This cat is usually as arrogant as he is when he is alone with Sheng Yan. He is simply the king of the backstreets.

    As a result, Qin Ru hugged her, as if he sensed who was the real financial owner, he immediately softened, took Qin Ru’s palm, rubbed his head obediently twice, and screamed, Qin Ru liked it so much that she hugged it and left happily.

    Sheng Yan couldn’t help but mutter: “Why does this cat have two faces?”

    Qin Zigui lazily moved his legs off the bed, lowered his head and straightened his trousers: “I guess he learned it from his master.”

    Sheng Yan turned around: “What do you mean?”

    Qin Zigui’s expression remained unchanged: “I praise you for being dignified outside and respecting your elders at home.”

    Sheng Yan: “?”

    Is that what you mean?

    It seems that he was right.

    But something seems wrong.

    Before he could figure it out, he heard a sudden gasp. When he raised his eyes, he saw that when Qin Zigui got out of bed, he hit the ground with his left leg and pulled the wound.

    Immediately, he couldn’t think about anything else. He quickly went up to support me and yelled hurriedly: “Can’t you see me standing there panting? Don’t you know how to call someone?”

    Qin Zigui lowered his eyelashes and seemed to answer casually: “I thought I am still annoying.”

    Sheng Yan slapped his hand, then lowered his head, and said angrily: “It’s annoying, but I’m not heartless. I said I would take care of you, and I will do what I say, but don’t push yourself too far. , otherwise don’t worry about my lack of justice.”

    Sheng Yan said, raised his head, glared, and threatened fiercely.

    It seemed as if Qin Zigui could just throw away his hand and walk away if he dared to take another step forward.

    If he hadn’t received his secret wish and the notification that he accepted the task without hesitation, Qin Zigui might have really believed it.

    But now when I look at Sheng Yan’s fierce expression, I just feel that his eyes are really beautiful, light in color, so clean and clear without a trace of impurities, like a piece of clear glass, which makes other people’s dirty thoughts extremely filthy.

    So after lowering his eyes for a while, he avoided looking and said, “Well, okay, I’ll listen to you.”

    Don’t push yourself too far, as long as he can forgive you, treat you like before, and act coquettishly with him more, that’s enough.

    The purpose of Qin Zigui’s assignment was as simple as giving the arrogant child a legitimate reason to be gentle and take care of him.

    However, he forgot that there is a saying in the world that “the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.”

    In fact, he was not seriously injured. He had no broken muscles or bones, but he could not use force on his left leg, otherwise the wound would easily burst, so he needed someone to support him when standing and walking.

    The weather in summer is already hot, and the air is full of moisture, which sticks wetly to the skin. Any place that has been in contact for a long time will always have a thin layer of sweat. The boy’s body temperature, heartbeat, and skin touch are particularly obvious.

    However, Sheng Yan was still dishonest, always moving his hands without speaking, and always turning his head to talk to him. His hot breath kept falling on Qin Zigui’s ears and neck, teasing Qin Zigui. Zigui had a cold face the whole time and didn’t dare to look at him again.

    When they finally arrived home, their clothes were almost soaked. Sheng Yan was finally relieved and lay down on Qin Zigui’s small sofa. He turned his head, looked at him, and asked lazily: “Qin Zigui, what are you doing?” What do you think of me? I worked so hard along the way and you didn’t even look at me.”

    Qin Zigui still didn’t look at him. He just took out a piece of clean clothes and was about to go into the bathroom. However, as soon as he took two steps, he heard some noise. When he looked back, he saw that the young master who had been lying down tiredly had stood up again with a groan. 

    Seeing Sheng Yan like this, Qin Zigui also felt sorry for him and whispered, “You rest for a while, I’ll go shower and change clothes first.”

    But Sheng Yan rubbed his shoulder, “I know, otherwise why would I get up?”

    Qin Zigui: “?”

    Sheng Yan raised an eyebrow, “If I don’t get up, who will accompany you to shower and change clothes?”

    Qin Zigui: “…No need.”

    “How can that be?”

    The app said the task is to stick close, so it has to be sticking close, not even an inch away.

    Sheng Yan justified, “The bathroom floor is slippery, and you can’t use your legs or get them wet. What if you fall or get an infection?”

    That’s still better than being teased to death by you.

    Qin Zigui responded coldly and forcefully, “I won’t fall.”

    Sheng Yan didn’t believe, “Just because you say you won’t?”

    “I say I won’t, so I won’t. At least I think even if I’m injured, I can still have my personal privacy.” Qin Zigui rarely didn’t yield to Sheng Yan.

    But Sheng Yan didn’t care at all, “What’s the big deal? We used to shower together all the time, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before. Why are you being so particular now?”

    “…”

    You also know that was when we were kids.

    Qin Zigui lowered his head, took a deep breath, and was about to calmly explain the difference between now and childhood to Sheng Yan. Suddenly, Sheng Yan exclaimed, “I got it!”

    Qin Zigui looked up at him.

    Did he suddenly become enlightened?

    Sheng Yan earnestly met his gaze, “Qin Zigui, are you feeling inferior?”

    Qin Zigui: “?”

    Sheng Yan furrowed his brow, “But you shouldn’t, you’re so tall.”

    Qin Zigui: “…”

    A heavy sigh suddenly lodged in his heart.

    He suddenly felt fortunate that he had been at odds with Sheng Yan for a year, otherwise he would have either been suffocated or angered to death.

    “But it’s okay, I won’t mock you.”

    Sheng Yan felt like he was the most righteous person in the world.

    And Qin Zigui’s face was even darker than when he heard the phrase “Zigui isn’t a good bird” in the morning.

    He looked down indifferently at Sheng Yan, and Sheng Yan raised his eyebrows to look at him.

    Four eyes met, and it was unclear who was challenging whom.

    Until Qin Zigui suddenly leaned back against the door frame, squinted his eyes, smiled at Sheng Yan, and his voice became low and hoarse, “Why don’t you try?”

    He was originally tall, with a naturally imposing presence, and now leaning back, squinting his eyes, and looking down at Sheng Yan, his eyes revealing sharp and aggressive contours, he exuded a predatory aggressiveness unique to male creatures.

    Even someone as slow as Sheng Yan felt a dangerous breath of being preyed upon.

    He instinctively felt that he should end this topic now.

    But he had been competitive and unwilling to admit defeat his whole life, especially to Qin Zigui.

    So he chose to proudly lift his chin and snorted, “Let’s give it a try then.”
