Chapter 191: Surf the Internet More
Cohen and Yan Huan were roommates in college.
Yan Huan is from China, and Cohen is from Country D. The two were studying abroad and met because they shared an apartment.
Yan Huan is a socially anxious person and rarely communicates with Cohen.
Every day in the room, I send messages and play games on QQ. When I have inspiration, I draw some design drawings.
Although Cohen is not socially anxious, he doesn't like to communicate with humans.
The two of them maintained a tacit balance in this way. Although they had the same schedule and lived under the same roof, they didn't talk much.
During the day, Cohen would go out to feed the birds with a large bag of sunflower seeds, wheat bread and various nuts.
From the white pigeons in the park, to the parrots destroying the lawn, to the crows rummaging through trash cans on the street, and even the seagulls snatching French fries from tourists on the beach, he would feed them all and then take many photos.
Yan Huan also goes out during the day to look for design inspiration.
I thought the two of them just maintained a relationship as roommates, strange yet familiar.
Until one day, Cohen went out to feed the birds and met Yan Huan.
Yan Huan sat under a tree, holding a small notebook and drawing with a pencil attentively.
At this time, five or six elementary school students walked into the woods, talking and laughing, carrying a few bird cages.
There are many colorful budgies in the birdcage, which are the cheapest parrots on the market. They are jumping around in the cage and screaming non-stop.
The boys and girls were wearing armbands with the school's animal protection club logo on their arms, and were discussing where to release the parrots.
They talked about how pitiful the parrots in pet shops were, and how they belonged in nature instead of fighting for food in crowded cages, waiting to be bought.
So, they saved money and bought a dozen budgies, planning to release them into the park.
Seeing this, Yan Huan quickly put down the notebook and pen in his hand and rushed forward.
Yan Huan knelt down on one knee, looked at the children at eye level, and patiently explained: "Releasing budgies is the same as killing them with your own hands."
"Although the park seems quiet, it is actually full of their natural enemies. The red kestrels flying in the sky, the seemingly harmless shrikes, and the kittens in the park can easily kill them."
These parrots have been raised in pet stores since they were born. They have no survival experience and cannot even find food outside. They will die within seven days.”
Several elementary school students like animals. After hearing Yan Huan's words, they instantly became nervous, "Brother, what should we do?"
Yan Huan lowered her eyes to look at the little parrots, smiling gently, "Let's build a suitable place in the yard and raise them."
"The lifespan of a budgie is about the same as that of a puppy. It can talk and sing. It's very cute."
Cohen was surprised when he saw Yan Huan's actions.
Most people don’t understand birds, even those who raise birds may not understand them.
For example, in China, many people have a stereotype about people who keep birds, thinking that those who keep birds are old men who like to walk their birds in parks.
But the so-called bird walking is just taking the exquisite bird cage to the park and letting the bird in the cage see the outside world.
Birds need freedom. They should at least be able to spread their wings and fly freely in a suitable space, such as their own room.
Birds are very smart. Raising birds is actually no different from raising cats and dogs. The only difference is that dogs treat humans as their masters, while birds treat humans as birds.
If birds are trained carefully, they will even cut branches and come when called.
Birds understand joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and they also understand human emotions. When humans are sad, they will anxiously fly around and try to find ways to comfort humans.
Some large parrots can live longer than humans.
Suppose a bird can live for eighty years, but it spends these eighty years in a small cage with a chain on its feet. How miserable would that be?
At that moment, Cohen felt that he had finally met a soulmate.
He began to talk to Yan Huan actively, took Yan Huan into his room to play with birds, and took him to various places to feed birds.
The two gradually became familiar with each other and discovered that they were both in the design industry.
Yan Huan thought Cohen was studying some animal-related major.
But Cohen thought Yan Huan was a dark, shady, and idiotic ape.
When Cohen learned that Yan Huan wanted to start a design company, he wanted to propose a collaboration, but Yan Huan already had a partner.
It was the mysterious designer, Q, who often played games with Yan Huan.
Q never turns on the voice chat, never reveals any identity information, even his gender is unknown, but Yan Huan doesn't care and always trusts Q 100%.
To be honest, Cohen was very jealous of Q. He was jealous of Q's talent, and a little jealous that Q got to know Yan Huan in advance.
When Yan Huan heard Cohen's guess, he raised his hand to straighten his gold-rimmed glasses, smiled warmly, and said nonchalantly: "I like Q as a person, not a certain gender."
He had just arrived in Country Y when he met Q.
His whole family opposed his study of design, and his family threatened him by cutting off his funding, but he resolutely decided to go abroad, even if he had to work and study in Country Y, in order to pursue what he loved.
Q gave him a lot of encouragement at that time, and Q's design drafts also brought him direct economic benefits. He was not only his salvation, but also his good comrade.
Although he knew nothing about Q, he understood Q's character.
Regardless of whether Q is a man or a woman, Q must be a bold, unrestrained and bright person, and anyone would be moved by her.
Cohen frowned slightly. After hearing what Yan Huan said, he immediately turned the joystick on the armrest of the wheelchair, and the wheelchair instantly moved a little distance away from Yan Huan.
He glanced at Yan Huan, his blue eyes filled with disdain, "You're not a gay, are you?"
"You came to my room to see my big bird, but you actually wanted to see my little bird."
Yan Huan was stunned for a long time, and his gold-rimmed glasses almost fell to the ground. He looked at Cohen in astonishment, "What on earth did you learn in China?"
Cohen shrugged. "Go online more and learn Internet lingo."
The two of them left the airport while arguing with each other.
……
Inside the hotel room.
Lu Chengyuan's phone kept vibrating.
Xia Qingluo looked at Lu Chengyuan's phone and saw that it was Lin Feng calling. She guessed that it was an urgent matter and asked, "Aren't you going to answer it?"
Lu Chengyuan took a deep breath and could only pick up the phone to answer the call.
"Boss, urgent news, Cohen has arrived in Country Y."
Lu Chengyuan Junyi frowned instantly.
