  Zhang Zian recognized its breed at first. It was an African grey parrot, a very large one.

  Light grey-colored feathers covered its body, leaving only a white face. Its small, black eyes looked very smart. Its mouth opened slightly and it looked like it was laughing at Zhang Zian.

  When his parents were running the pet shop, there were a few parrots in the store. They were not expensive breeds. When he was little, he tried to teach them to talk but never succeeded. Not all breeds can learn to talk and the chance to learn was even smaller.

  Zhang Zian’s finger moved to the “capture” button yet he didn’t press on it. The majority of the bird’s body was hiding behind the fan and it was looking at him fearlessly.

  “You!” The teacher was mad, “You asked a question yet didn’t pay attention to my explanation. Please put your cell phone away.”


  The students looked at Zhang Zian curiously.

  Zhang Zian was going to defend himself and say that he didn’t ask the question. The bird up top started to speak instead. “Professor, your class was so boring. Didn’t you see everyone was falling asleep?”


  The teacher was even more angry. She stood there with a blue face.

  Some girls started to giggle quietly. A few boys couldn’t help but laugh out loud. They all looked at Zhang Zian with admiration. They thought this guy was so cool that he dared to challenge the teacher. It didn’t look like he was going to pass this class. Honestly, class really was boring.

  Zhang Zian was nervous. That bird was b*tchy.

  Old Time Tea relaxed because it knew they were safe. It was curious as to how Zhang Zian would handle the embarrassment, though.

  The teacher was so mad that she pointed at Zhang Zian, “What… what is your name and school ID?!”


  Zhang Zian kept silent. Who knew what that b*tchy bird was going to say?!

  The teacher was choked up with anger. She screamed, “Where is the class monitor? Where are you? Who is class monitor from Class One?”


  The class monitor from Class One sat in the front. She looked like a good student. Looking back, she said nervously, “Umm, he doesn’t look like he is in Class One.”


  “What did you mean ‘look like’??” The teacher was letting out her anger. “How do you not know if he was in your class? How are doing your job as the class monitor??”


  The girl was helpless. Almost crying, she said, “We just started school this fall and we have been going to big classes. I am not familiar with the boys in class. Maybe you can ask the assistant class monitor. He is a boy…”


  Just like Zhang Zian’s estimation, the students were freshmen this year. They went through military training in the first month so they had only started class not long ago. There were almost 100 people in one class. Unable to see each other all the time, it was not surprising that she couldn’t recognize everyone.

  Their class had more girls than boys, so there was one female class monitor and one male assistant class monitor. The male assistant class monitor was an easy job because there weren’t many boys in the class.

  The teacher was too mad to be rational. She said, “I am asking you. Are you qualified to be a class monitor? If you are not, I am going to tell your managing teacher to replace you.”


  The female class monitor was scolded in front of everyone. She started weeping.

  A boy stood up from the side and said, “Professor Chen, I am the assistant class monitor. This person is not a student in our class.”


  “Okay. He is not a student in Class One. How about Class Two and Class Three?”


  All the class monitors stepped up and proved that Zhang Zian wasn’t a student in their class.

  That was surprising. People were confused again. If he was a sit-in student, then why would he get the teacher mad…


  The teacher was even more confused. If Zhang Zian was not an official student, then she could not threaten him with grades.

  Zhang Zian was speechless.

  He knew that all he could do was remain silent. As long as he opened his mouth, the b*tchy bird would voice over him. He had to either speak really loud to cover the b*tchy bird’s voice or remain silent. What should he say? Everyone thought it was him because no one could see the bird. If he told people that a bird was pretending to talk like him, the teacher probably would send him to the hospital.

  He sat in the last row for convenience and there was no one near him. Therefore, he couldn’t blame it on another person. He was going to leave, but he had gone through so much trouble to find this elfin. He didn’t want to go home with nothing.

  “So, you don’t think I can punish you because you are not an official student?” The teacher was jumping up and down, “I am telling you, I can tell your managing teacher and give you a warning!”


  The professor’s threat meant nothing to Zhang Zian. All he had in his mind was to capture the b*tch bird elfin and leave.

  Zhang Zian’s attitude showed that he didn’t care. The teacher was even more angry.

  “Okay! You stay there! Don’t go away!” The professor had lost her mind. She pulled out her cellphone and dialed the number of the security office.

  “Hello? Security? Here in the central academic building, room 1703, a student is bothering other people. Please send someone over.”


  She tried to lower her voice, but most people in the front row heard it. They started murmuring to each other and soon the news travelled to the back of the class.

  “Hey!” A girl sitting close to Zhang Zian turned around and told him quickly, “Professor Chen is really mad. She already called security. You’d better run. Otherwise it could be troublesome.”


  Zhang Zian knew that it was not good, especially because he was not a student. Because he was not a student from the university, it would be even worse when security came.

  The b*tchy bird grabbed the top of the fan, using the fan to block its body. Its eyes looked lively. It had been waiting for Zhang Zian to speak so it could voice over him.

  Okay, you think I can’t get you because you are hiding from me?

  Zhang Zian reached out his hand and turned on the fan. He was praying that the fan worked.

  The fan started running quickly.
