1. Lin Guandi was short on money for a while, so she took a job as a bird sitter.
She followed the rules and did the work for pay, until an accident led her into bed with the bird's owner and they struck a secret arrangement.
He was forceful yet attentive, making her think she was special.
As time went by, people started teasing Boss Shen, asking if he was finally ready to settle down.
He replied casually, "I'm just raising a bird."
Only then did it dawn on her: she was nothing more than a little bird to keep his bed warm.

Shen Suiming loved raising birds and watching them. His courtyard was filled with beautiful cages.
One evening, all the cages suddenly stood empty, and the bird keeper vanished along with them.
After waiting years without the birds coming back, he stopped keeping them.
From childhood onward, too much freedom meant slowly losing what you had.
2. At a tipsy gathering, Lin Guandi raised her glass to Shen Suiming, her eyes curving into a smile as she explained, "Boss Shen, you've mistaken me for someone else. My name is Di, as in the flute."
Shen Suiming unhurriedly polished his gold-rimmed glasses. Without even looking up, he ordered his men to renovate the courtyard.
"What are you planning to do, Boss Shen?"
"Raise birds."
"Why didn't you raise them before?"
"They flew away."
"Oh? What kind of bird could possibly escape from you, Boss Shen?"
Shen Suiming's thin lips curled into a faint smile. He put on his glasses and tapped Lin Guandi's project proposal with his long fingers.
