"But that's not even the worst part. Lately, Da Fei has become obsessed with watching Animal World. I don't know what got into it, but it suddenly developed a passion for running. It figured out my work schedule and started waking me up two hours early every day. If I don't get up, it throws things around and even calls in sparrows for backup.

"I swear... just so I can wake up early to run, I've completely given up my nightlife." Ting Shan sounded utterly defeated as he recounted his struggles.

"How pitiful." Du Qianze comforted Ting Shan with sympathy on his face. He was already laughing in his heart. He really didn't expect that Da Fei could cause so many troubles, but it was not surprising. Da Fei could speak human language, so it was normal for it to understand human nature.

"I'm worse than him." Cai Ya finally recovered and wiped the sweat off her face with a towel. She didn't put on any makeup and looked much weaker than usual.

"I'm worse off than him." Cai Ya repeated, "That foul-mouthed parrot of his kidnapped my Guifei! Now, Guifei insists on dragging me out of bed every morning too. And the way she wakes me up is exactly the same as Da Fei—if I don't get up, she starts throwing my stuff around.

"And she has a particular grudge against my cosmetics. It's only been a little over ten days, and she's already smashed thousands of yuan worth of my cosmetics! I had no choice but to start running too.

"And worst of all, they won't let us slack off—they make us run just as much as the boss. However long the boss runs, we have to run the same distance."

"Sister Cai Ya, you've worked so hard, but it's good for your health to exercise more often. I think you look much better than before." Du Qianze heard what Cai Ya said and couldn't help but look up at the two parrots not far away. They were kissing each other on the branches, and there were dozens of sparrows watching them. They didn't know how to restrain themselves.

"That's right. Since I started running, I've eaten more, but I haven't gained weight, and I sleep better. Otherwise, I wouldn't get up so early in the morning to run." Cai Ya and Ting Shan couldn't have changed their living habits because of the two parrots. Running was really good for the body, so they were willing to run every day.

"Your two parrots..." These two kinds of parrots couldn't crossbreed.

"There's no way. If I don't let them meet, Guifei will make trouble with me every day. Let them be. I can't hatch baby parrots in the future, but I can still eat parrot eggs." Cai Ya said casually, as if she didn't really mind. She wanted to complain, but what could she do? Guifei just liked Da Fei—there was nothing she could do about it.

Besides, apart from having a sharp tongue, Da Fei was actually pretty great. It could make money and was incredibly intelligent.

"When Naima picks up a gray parrot in the future, I'll give you another one to see if Guifei can fall in love with someone else." Fang Yi said beside him.

"I don't think so. Look at how my Guifei is paying for me. But if Naima really picked up a grey parrot, you can give it to me. It's also good for me to have one more."

"Qianze." After saying this, Cai Ya suddenly turned to Du Qianze and said, "The recent Immortals and Demons release has everyone really impressed with your performance! If you had taken on a few more promotional events back then, you might be even more popular now. Once you make it big, remember this one thing—If you rise to wealth and fame, don't forget your friends!"

"Don't worry, Sister Cai, if I really become famous, I will definitely not forget you. Something happened at home a while ago, so I can't help it. Besides, I am just a minor supporting role, not as powerful as Sister Cai Ya said." Du Qianze didn't regret it at all. He was at home during this time, and the effect was still quite large. Although Father Du didn't chase him away when he went home, and now when he called back, Mother Du would not hang up the phone directly, and could chat with him for a while.

"Have you seen the video that's popular online recently? Although I like you and Shaoye's couple, I like your new couple in Immortals and Demons even more. When you can act together again, I will be happy." Cai Ya said excitedly, pulling Du Qianze.

"..." Du Qianze knew that Cai Ya was a rotten girl a long time ago, and often asked him about Shaoye in private, but he and Shaoye really rarely contacted each other! Not to mention Li Yuxing, Li Yuxing's status was a world away from his, and they couldn't have any intersection at all.

"Hehe..." Seeing Du Qianze's embarrassed face, Cai Ya didn't say much, and talked to Du Qianze about business, "The post-production for Adorable Pet Squad is already finished. I heard they're planning to release it during the New Year.

"I'm thinking of suggesting to the station that we turn your show into a two-episode special—not filmed in the studio, but right at Fang Yi's pet shop.

"What do you guys think?" Cai Ya turned around and asked Fang Yi.

"Not so good." Du Qianze was a little unhappy. If the Adorable Pet Squad was broadcast and became really popular, Fang Yi's pet shop would definitely have a lot of people coming, and the animals in the shop would not be able to live in peace.

"The pet shop is too small, and there are too many people coming and going. We can't just shut down business for filming—it's not convenient. If you really want to do the show, you could try finding a spot in the park. The scenery there is great, and the buildings make for a nice backdrop.

"When the time comes, I'll bring Naima, Bandit, and the others over for the show. Plus, I'll find a few more small animals to add some extra cuteness to the mix."

The Chinese Farmyard Pet Shop had already gained quite a bit of online fame. This time, Fang Yi had arranged for Naima to star in a TV drama, hoping to make the pet shop even more well-known. However, he figured that once the show aired, it was unlikely that people would come to the shop just for the animals from the series. And even if they did, he could always keep Naima in the backyard—most people wouldn't have dared to just walk in.

What worried him more was that if the program was filmed at the pet shop, fans of the celebrities involved might have flocked to the store to watch the recording. That would have been a real hassle.

Having a famous pet shop wasn't necessarily a good thing. The only reason Fang Yi had done all this was to help more stray animals find a home. But if the shop became too famous—so well-known that it attracted constant attention—he definitely wouldn't have been happy about it.
