Yu Yue, the richest man in Poor Village, rode his motorcycle into the big city.
The big city was great. It had phones and computers, but the people weren't very friendly. They were always making fun of him for being a country bumpkin.
What nonsense! Yu Yue was the trendiest celebrity in his village!
To keep up with the latest city fashions, Yu Yue followed the locals' example and kept himself a canary.
He was a generous sugar daddy who took his canary shopping every day.
Yu Yue pointed at Mixue Ice City and waved a hand grandly. "Order whatever you want. Pick any drink!"
He was a thoughtful sugar daddy, too, and took his canary to the underground mall to buy a fashionable fake-fur-collar coat.
His canary was gloomy all day, but whenever he received a present, his handsome face would turn red as an apple.
Yu Yue was sure of it: This canary had never had a sugar daddy as good as him...
But sometimes his canary could be unreasonable, like when he asked Yu Yue for Zhou's ginkgo-leaf necklace.
Yu Yue looked at the price, then at the canary's "yearning" little eyes. Gritting his teeth, he went to haul bricks at a construction site for three days.
His pampered hands blistered and bled, but he finally bought the necklace and handed it to his canary with a triumphant grin.
This time, the canary's face didn't turn red, but his eyes did, like a little rabbit's.

Jiang Chijing, young master of the Jiang Group, was bored and decided to play at being a kept canary.
The man claimed to be super rich, yet only drank iced tea and ordered plain rice when eating out. In the middle of summer, he wouldn't buy an air conditioner, just let a fan spin round and round in his rental apartment.
He also liked giving Jiang Chijing things he couldn't use at all: T-shirts printed with "addidas," and instant noodles labeled "Kang Shuai Fu"...
Every time Jiang Chijing received one of these gifts, he was so furious he could hardly breathe.
At the end of the month, Jiang Chijing received his sugar daddy's allowance: a WeChat red envelope.
As everyone knows, a WeChat red envelope can contain no more than 200 yuan.
When his friends heard what had been happening, they asked if the Jiang Group had gone bankrupt, and why he was working as a kept canary.
What kind of canary was he? He was clearly a canary made of iron wire!
Note: 1v1, Yu Yue is the gong and Jiang Chijing is the shou.
Theme: I am weary of palaces and golden towers; let me pin a plum blossom to my lapel and get drunk in Luoyang.
