Chapter 337: Xiao Ruiyuan’s Anger and Unexpected News (2)_1
Mo Yan’s mind raced with all sorts of guesses in the blink of an eye, each one impossible for him to accept.
The contented Maomao, who had been closing its eyes and enjoying being stroked, pecked at his hand in frustration, signaling him to concentrate.
Xiao Ruiyuan came back to his senses, his breath chilling as he tossed Maomao aside. Trying to console himself or for some other reason, he came up with a dignified excuse for why Mo Yan hadn’t replied to his letter: "She must have been delayed by something important and didn’t have time to reply. Just go back now, and if there’s no reply, don’t bother coming back."
The poor Maomao had been subjected to his master’s anger. It let out an unpleasant sharp scream, as it came to complain, not to be scolded.
The displeased Xiao Ruiyuan, devoid of any interest in Maomao’s feelings, sat back in front of his desk and began writing another letter. To convey his disappointment and draw her attention, he stubbornly wrote the words "Why didn’t you reply to my letter?" eighty-one times.
After letting the ink dry, Xiao Ruiyuan carefully folded the letter and placed it in the envelope. He patted the motionless Maomao, indicating it was time to go.
Maomao glared with eyes wide as if it were a statue under his pat. Having flown there in the afternoon and back in the evening without rest or food, it had no strength left—it did not want to fly!
Unexpectedly, the little creature threw a tantrum. Xiao Ruiyuan was about to give it a stern lesson, but seeing its damaged tail and the patches of missing feathers, he gently touched the hollow spot on Maomao’s neck, realizing it hadn’t eaten, and thus had a guard bring some raw meat for it.
But she was so kind—why didn’t she feed the harrier? Was it the harrier that made her angry, or was it the letter that upset her?
