Chapter 1

"Look, how beautiful it is!"

A sigh of praise rang in my ears, mixed with an inexplicably exaggerated tone.

Bai Gaoxing had a slight fever since last night, and after being assaulted by the sharp sound, his groggy head felt an uncontrollable stabbing pain.

He slowly opened his heavy eyelids, and after a while his blurry vision focused, he could almost see the two men standing in front of him.

Which roommate’s parent is it?

Bai Gaoxing stared at Jin Cancan who was less than half a meter away from him, and couldn't help but wonder whose relative was so fashionable, with long bleached and dyed hair.

But it’s not a good idea to shout in someone else’s dormitory so early in the morning, right?

Before Bai Gaoxing could express his dissatisfaction, the man started talking again.

"The albino Sochi Parrot is very expensive, at least worth this much."

"Its previous name was Lando."

"It sounds like a girl, right? But it's a boy, don't make any mistake."

The blond man paused. "Lando's previous owner abandoned him. You know this kind of large parrot needs company. He was locked in the cage for too long and became a little depressed. He even started to self-harm. I had to persuade the shelter to let me take Lando back... Don't look at me like that. If I wasn't worried that you couldn't get over the last drama, I would have racked my brains to find a solution."

He sighed, "The doctor said it's safer to have a pet to keep you company."

The air returned to silence.

Bai Gaoxing was confused. Who was depressed? The four people in their dormitory were all more lively than each other! And what about the parrot? Who had a parrot? Did the dormitory manager check very strictly?

After a while, another man spoke.

"Thank you, Peter."

"But I already have a tank of fish."

This voice startled Bai Gaoxing.

The man's magnetic voice was extremely catchy, as elegant as a cello, and as unreal as a dream.

Bai Gaoxing was a sound conscious person and couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound. A man in a dark grey robe and pajamas was standing not far away, his eyes showing a bit of gentleness.

With broad shoulders and narrow waist, he is tall and straight, and his stern eyebrows and eyes outline a cold and reserved face.

He is a man who seems difficult to approach but is extremely eye-catching.

The voice and face are types that are hard to come by in real life... Bai Gaoxing stared at him, unable to match him with any of his roommates.

"Fish?" The blond man laughed. "The fish in your tank only know how to eat. Lando is a parrot. He is more interactive than a dog."

Not sure if it was an illusion, Bai Gaoxing felt the man's gaze was directed towards him.

The blond man also looked at him.

Bai Gaoxing was not very happy. It was already very rude to show up in someone else's dormitory so early in the morning. Now he was staring at him. He couldn't help but say, "You, uh, you guys..."

After saying a few words, Bai Gaoxing found that his voice became very wrong and his tongue seemed to be out of control.

He put it down to the aftereffects of a fever and didn't think much of it.

Unexpectedly, the blond man made a teasing sound, "Hey, you can even say 'hello'!"

The other party even reached out his hand to him as he walked over, teasing him, "Come on, come on, let me say it again... Dali, come over and take a look, and cultivate some feelings with it."

Bai Gaoxing was immediately furious.

Why are you still reaching into his quilt?

etc.

Where is his quilt?

Bai Gaoxing lowered his head suddenly, and his pupils trembled after seeing the situation clearly.

When he looked down, he saw not his soft plush quilt, but a pair of bird's claws!

The dark grey, strong and powerful claws firmly grasped a rough wooden stick.

Bai Gaoxing moved in panic, but suddenly his body lost balance and fell backwards.

"Hey hey——!" The blond man quickly reached out his hand.

"Flap...!" At this moment, Bai Gaoxing instinctively controlled his body, and the chaotic flapping sounds hit the surrounding obstacles, and several white feathers fell down.

He turned around in surprise and saw his large snow-white wings spread out.

??? What on earth is this! ?

When Bai Gaoxing finally stood firmly on the wooden stick again, he found that he was locked in a cage.

Now he was fully awake.

He, an ordinary freshman who had not yet fully experienced college life, turned into a parrot after a nap.

Bai Gaoxing looked at his body carefully, and only absurdity and horror remained in his mind.

It's not like he hasn't read time-travel novels before, and he's also raised parrots before, but this is a cross-species time travel, which is a little hard for him to accept.

Bai Gaoxing bit his own claws hard, and he cried out in pain and flapped his wings several times.

Not a dream.

"You see, it does have a tendency to commit suicide," said the blond man.

Bai Gaoxing looked up at the sky in silence, his mind flooded with the brief and eventful memory of the parrot.

The original owner of this parrot was a gentle and kind girl who picked it up as a chick while studying abroad and doing field research. Unfortunately, the girl later died in an accident, and the parrot was taken away by her brother.

The girl's brother, the previous owner who abandoned it.

Just as the blond man said, its previous owner seldom accompanied it and just locked it in a cage without paying much attention to it.

After experiencing warmth, this indifference made the parrot even more miserable. In extreme contrast, the parrot became increasingly listless and sleepy every day, and had even started plucking its feathers to relieve stress. When the previous owner changed jobs and moved, he thought the parrot was dying of illness, so he threw it directly to the shelter.

After staying in the shelter for nearly a month, it was brought here by a blond man named Wang Peter, who said it was a gift specifically for his good brother Li Pho.

Fortunately... I arrived just in time to find out the new owner.

Sorting out his confused thoughts, Bai Gaoxing glanced at the tightly closed iron gate in front of him. He instinctively felt uncomfortable with being locked up, so he recalled how his parrot had "escaped from prison" before, and lifted the gate up with his mouth.

"Click." The cage door lifted up a little.

Try harder.

"Click." He lifted up another section.

Li Pho saw the parrot working hard and said, "Open it for it."

"What?" Wang Peter was stunned for a moment, then responded, "You mean the cage door? Of course, you can, but aren't you afraid that it will fly around and pull things around?"

In my impression, Li Pho is a very clean person.

"Didn't you say it was very well behaved?" Li Pu asked back, his eyes fixed on the parrot clinging to the cage wall.

"It's quite well behaved. It will go back to the cage by itself, but it doesn't want to be locked up in the cage all the time. I was just about to say that you should let it out to get some fresh air from time to time." Wang Peter walked forward and opened the cage door, then stepped back a few steps. "Otherwise, I'll either pluck its feathers or tear down the cage for you."

A large parrot with a mouth that can be compared to a cold weapon, it is very good at destroying things.

Seeing the cage door open, Bai Gaoxing stretched out his claws clumsily, but his feet slipped and he slid to the bottom of the cage, rubbing against the wire.

The posture is particularly funny.

"…What's wrong with it?" asked Li Pu.

"Uh... maybe it's not adapting well. It's not in good spirits. You need to observe it more carefully." Wang Peter couldn't explain it. He didn't think it was so stupid when he was in the shelter before.

Li Pho nodded.

The next second, Bai Gaoxing flapped his wings and flew out of the cage.

Due to the structure of the bird claw, the feeling of stepping on the flat surface is not very comfortable, but it makes Bai Gaoxing feel very relaxed - he found it difficult to adapt to the feeling of standing on the wooden stick, and he was very nervous. No matter how tightly he held on, it seemed as if he could flip over in the next second.

Bai Gaoxing spread his wings slightly and tried to walk for a distance. His body was still a little shaky, but he was able to maintain his balance.

He walked around while observing the environment. Sure enough, this room was not his dormitory. It was just that the color was a bit similar to the dormitory stickers. He didn't see it clearly when he woke up...

Bai Gaoxing was filled with turmoil. No words could describe his feelings as he transformed from a human into a bird.

How can I change back?

Bai Gaoxing tried to spread his wings, and began to flutter aimlessly while recalling yesterday's memories. However, the two people standing next to him looked like he was frightened by the change of environment, and they quickly caught him and put him back into the cage.

Bai Gaoxing was locked up again, with his head against the cage, staring blankly. What if... what if he fell asleep again in two days?

Wang Peter took a look at the parrot in the cage, wiped his sweat, and continued to instruct Li Pu: "I have brought you all the feed. Here is also a breeding manual. If you have any questions, you can check it."

As he spoke, he took out a thick little notebook.

But Li Pu was still looking at Bai Gaoxing and didn't answer.

"Mr. Actor Li! You will probably need to rest for a few months after this film is finished, right? Your schedule won't be busy later on, so you can totally enjoy your vacation." Wang Peter thought that Li Pu still didn't want to keep the parrot, so he forced the notebook into his hands.

"Lando has all the documents and vaccinations. You just need to spend more time with him every day and there will be no problem. Besides, he can entertain you!"

Li Pu lowered his head and flipped through the book, his face hesitant, "But..."

"What else can I say?" After Wang Peter finished speaking forcefully, his tone softened. "Besides, can you bear to let Lando go back and wait for his next master?"

Li Pu said nothing.

He looked at the parrot in front of him, which seemed to be cautious and tense because it had come to an unfamiliar environment. It was an almost completely white parrot, more beautiful than many birds in the illustrations. Its pure white feathers were as clean as snow, but there were a few gray patches on its crown.

But as Wang Peter said, it was sick, some of its chest feathers had been plucked out, and there was a little blood on them.

Li Pu pursed his lips and said, "I may not be able to take good care of it."

As if it understood what he said, the big parrot turned its head, its clear, dark round eyes shining with a pleading light.

Wang Peter also saw it and said, "I think you two are destined to be together."

Li Pu looked at the parrot for a long while, his expression gradually softening in an imperceptible way. "...Then let it stay."

Wang Peter was relieved: "Okay, you two need each other. Lando, it—no, you should give it a new name."

Lando is the past tense filled with painful memories, and the new name and new owner represent a new beginning.

Li Pho did not deny this fact and began to think of a name in silence.

Wang Peter joked, "I'm warning you in advance, you're a bad namer, don't name it something like flowers or grass again."

Bai Gaoxing looked at the man, curious about what name he would give him.

If it was a weird name, he would probably need a long time to get used to it...

The man stared at him for a long while before saying, "Dabai."

"Let's call him 'Dabai'."

Bai Gaoxing was stunned for a moment. What a coincidence! Usually people always called him Dabai, but now it sounded like they were really calling him.

Anyway, I am very satisfied with this name.

Wang Peter twitched his lips, "Dabai is fine too." He turned around and stretched out his hand to tease, "Dabai, Dabai~ Hey Dabai, you call Dabai, do you know?"

Bai Gaoxing stepped back in disgust.

Wang Peter: "Dabai, call me daddy!"

Bai Gaoxing looked at the man speechlessly and replied, "Hey."

Wang Peter: “???”

Li Piao: “…”

Wang Peter was ordered to leave.

"No, you treat your brother like this?" Wang Peter said, clinging to the door frame, "I rushed back from abroad just to see you!"

Li Pu said calmly: "It's not like I don't know what you're doing here."

Wang Peter's teeth itched. He was really well-informed about this gossip.

"But I have to tell you, you just got the Best Actor award, you have to post some updates during your rest time, otherwise all the fans you worked so hard to gather will run away!"

Li Pu nodded: "Yes."

Wang Peter knew that he didn't listen, so he gave up and said, "Then you take good care of Dabai. I'll come back to see it when I have time."

Li Pu responded: "Of course."

Bai Gaoxing looked at the two people chatting at the door.

After a long time of searching, he came to a conclusion: his meal ticket is a big shot in the entertainment industry.

But he didn't care about it anymore. He hadn't drunk a sip of water since last night. He was so thirsty that he had to find some water to drink as soon as possible.

Bai Gaoxing looked around and found that the movie star's house was a little too clean. Not only were there no water cups on the table, but the cups were all upside down. There was not even a teapot.

A washbasin would be helpful at this time... Bai Gaoxing was so thirsty that he turned around and saw an aquarium half the size of the wall.

This must be the fish they were talking about! Fortunately, the lid was still open.

Bai Gaoxing tried flapping his wings and took off successfully, happily flying towards his target. However, he overestimated his flying ability, and when he approached the aquarium, he found that he had miscalculated the landing point.

Oh no!

Bai Gaoxing looked in horror at the group of fish swimming towards him with their teeth bared. The moment he fell into the water, he shouted out his first complete sentence:

"Help!!!"
