Gugu is a spotted dove. One day, he lands on the roof of a house. The human inside has a lovely smile and kindly feeds him.
He decides to make this place his home.
In just one week, he sees the human feed the neighborhood's stray cats for seven days, take one of his kind to the animal hospital three times after it accidentally falls off the roof... and let him inside to shelter from the rain during a thunderstorm.
This human is so nice.
Hmm... Maybe not so nice after all.
The human eats less than he does! (?!
Goes to bed later than he does every day!
Eats two white pills before bed, and sometimes waves a sharp object around at himself. His hands are wrapped in bandages.
Gugu is very worried.
So every morning, bright and early, he wakes the human by pecking at the window and shouting. He only feels reassured when he sees the human move.
"Good morning," the human says to him.
"Goo-goo-gu!"
He eats his fill every day, but the human eats less and less, and often skips meals. He sleeps less too, and his face is even paler than the pearls on Gugu's neck.
One day, he even faints right in front of him...
Damn it, this spotted dove is furious!
In a panic, he flies through the window and gestures emphatically at the human's face.
Human, you need to eat properly!
Sleep properly! Stay alive!
The wretched human can barely keep his eyes open, yet he's still smiling.
"The seventh year."
"Jiang Zhu... you're finally back."

An obscure online forum: "The Person I've Loved for a Long Time Is Back."
Thread starter: He left years ago because he was seriously ill... Now he's recovered. He's turned into a spotted dove, but I still love him.
233L: You're all laughing, but I'm really crying here!! What a pair of star-crossed lovers, no, star-crossed doves!!!
520L: This is what the internet was like at the beginning. Anyone could share their life, even another dove.
999L: Sharing link: "How Do Spotted Doves Coo?" That's the sound the thread starter likes. Just learn it directly.
1314L: It's all right. If love lasts for a long time, why should it matter whether you're in the same kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, or species? ①

After turning back into a human, Jiang Zhu still has some spotted dove code left over. He can't break his habit of bowing on the spot whenever he wants to confess his feelings.
His face turns bright red.
The human is still kind, returning the bow. "I understand. This is called treating each other with respect."
