That aside, Huaisang's most definitely anticipating the blond to be enthusiastic about the bird garden once he's in it...but he can't say he'd be able to expect what kind of reaction exactly.

They're amazing, aren't they?? Of course, they all have names too...

[ Because of course he named them. They're...names alright. There's Peony, Lily, Oranges, Bai Xing, Meimei, Chestnut, Pie, and Feather to start with. ]

Look at that, I think Pie likes you!
