Gu Mian was certain that those birds had only been brought in within the last few days. Before this, he hadn't sensed their presence... including this Yellow-tailed Robin.
So even if Wen Qian hadn't mentioned it, he would have found an opportunity to investigate.
"Let's go back for now." Placing the Yellow-tailed Robin back into the box, Gu Mian said calmly.
Agreeing, Wen Qian placed Yin Zhi back into the cat carrier. Ever since being scolded, Yin Zhi had been completely still. Seeing his listless state now, Wen Qian felt a pang of heartache.
But she didn't plan on coddling him. Yin Zhi was the one in the wrong. The bird hadn't provoked him, so why did he have to go for the kill?
With that thought, Wen Qian no longer hesitated and headed for the door.
Her fair fingertips touched the cold doorknob. Before she could do anything, a crisp knock came from the other side. Wen Qian jumped in surprise. She instinctively backed away, nearly bumping into Gu Mian's chest.
