Chapter 109

After the two overlapping voices rang out, the atmosphere in the office fell into an eerie silence.

Lei Li looked at Li Pu with disdain, who had always calmly said "no" when he was embroiled in scandals before, but this time he remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

There were emotions in his eyes that she couldn't understand.

Oh no.

Lei Li coughed to cover up her mistake and raised her hand to cover her mouth.

She just said what was on her mind, without expecting that Li Pu was in another train of thought.

But it was so obvious, so obvious that the other party didn't realize how anxious she was.

How should I put it... not wanting to let go is actually a disguised form of possessiveness. Especially when the target is Dabai, combined with the companionship during those days, it is not difficult to understand.

In addition, she was also worried that Li Pu was trapped in a confused mood and could not find an outlet for his emotions, which turned into another psychological problem.

But how did the answer of selfishness come about?

Lei Li looked at the man in front of her with a complicated expression, and she had already realized his deep and heavy feelings for Dabai.

After a long while, Li Pu raised his eyes and said, "...Is that so?"

Lei Li was a little speechless.

She looked at the man who seemed to have just understood something and said, "If this is not the reason, is there any other possibility?"

Other possibilities...

Li Pu's expression became serious again. After thinking carefully, he realized that there seemed to be nothing.

Lei Li had never thought that as an agent she would have to take care of the emotional issues of artists. She sighed and leaned back in her chair, her fingers unable to help but rubbing on the lighter. "Think about it, if Dabai leaves you in the future, can you accept it? Or if you see Dabai with someone else, are you willing to send your blessing?"

The answers are all no.

On the contrary, just thinking about this possibility made him feel as heavy as a stone pressing down on his heart.

Li Pu's gaze became increasingly deep, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, and he couldn't help but recall every moment he had spent with the young man.

Perhaps, because it was too familiar, he subconsciously regarded this feeling as a habit.

Li Pu's fingertips rubbed the bent finger bones repeatedly, but suddenly he paused.

But he forgot to think about what Dabai thought of him.

Maybe he was just a familiar friend, not a qualified master... Dabai was even planning to leave.

Lei Li watched as Li Pu's expression gradually became solemn, but soon calmed down.

She had a bad feeling. "Then what? What do you think? Don't you plan to express your feelings to Dabai?"

It's not that I'm urging Li Pu to fall in love. In terms of career, a male star's blooming period is very long, and love will always have some impact on his career.

But she hopes that Li Pho can face his own heart.

Lei Li, who had already assumed that she was a fairy, was well-accepted with the fact that her partner was not a human - fortunately, Li Pu was an actor and his age was just right, so there was no problem with his success in both love and career.

After a while, Li Pu expressed his thoughts just now.

Lei Li was both angry and amused. "So you plan to keep it to yourself and hide it from Dabai. Even if he really wants to leave, you will just send him off silently?"

He really thought so.

Li Pho lowered his eyes more and more. He did not want to scare or shock Da Bai more than disrupting his peaceful life.

"It's good enough as it is now," he said.

"Oh." Lei Li laughed.

She didn't think Li Pu could hold back for long, his eyes and actions couldn't lie. Although this man was the type who warmed up slowly in life, once he got used to the situation and got "hot", he would be very scary.

So, for Dabai's safety, she wanted to give him a push as much as she could.

"Do you think Baymax won't like you? But I think..."

Facing Li Pu's expectant gaze, Lei Li expressed her opinion with difficulty, "Da Bai might like you too."

She recalled the way the young man unconsciously depended on Li Pho when they first met, and felt that Li Pho was not completely without a chance.

"Really?" Li Pu asked, seemingly with hope in his heart.

But the boy looked too young, and Lei Li had a guilty conscience and felt that she had incited Li Pu to go astray, so she quickly said, "Of course, it's not necessarily the kind of love, but I have a good impression of you anyway."

Li Pho calmed down a lot, "After all, I am his... owner."

Then she thought about the natural closeness of pets to their owners. Lei Li knew from Li Pu's expression that he didn't dare to break this limit. Maybe Da Bai didn't have any special feelings for Li Pu yet, but they lived together every day, and they could develop feelings for each other even if they just knocked stones together.

"Don't think too much. You can create opportunities even if there are no opportunities," she said.

and……

"Aren't you sleeping in the same bed?"

Li Pu looked puzzled, as if asking what this had to do with anything.

Lei Li: "..." Let's live together as an old married couple first and then talk about finding a partner, right? I don't understand you young people.

The two chatted for a while, and Lei Li could see through Li Pu's consideration and prudence, qualities that usually made her praise him at work, but now only made her sigh.

But that's true, after all, Li Pho has no experience in love.

Lei Li lamented that she didn't have to work so hard to pursue her husband, and encouraged Li Pu: "Keep going, just don't let others take Da Bai away."

Li Pu was speechless.

Not long after that, Bai Gaoxing came back.

The boy opened the door carrying a box of small cakes and said happily: "The cafeteria aunt gave it to me. She said she would bring it back for you to try."

As soon as I entered the door, I found that the atmosphere was a little strange.

Bai Gaoxing paused and asked tentatively, "Did I disturb you?"

"No, I just finished talking." Lei Li smiled and waved Bai Gaoxing to sit over. "You two can just eat. I want to lose weight."

After that, she winked at Li Pu and said, "I have something else to do. You guys should finish your meal here before leaving."

As the sound of high heels hitting the floor faded away, Li Pu and Bai Gaoxing were the only two people left in the office.

Bai Gaoxing stared at the door for a while, then turned around and asked, "Want to eat?"

Li Pu nodded, "Yes."

It seemed a little strange. Bai Gaoxing handed a fork to Li Pu while unpacking the food. When he started eating, he found that the man seemed to be distracted.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked vaguely. After swallowing a bite of cake, he suddenly remembered that Li Pu probably didn't like sweets very much, otherwise, he wouldn't have been reduced to only being able to eat melon seeds when he was a parrot.

"No problem." The expected answer.

Bai Gaoxing observed Li Pu for a while and concluded that it might be due to too much work pressure. He felt overwhelmed just by listening to the brokers talking about those notices, not to mention Li Pu who needed to practice them personally.

Thinking of this, he forked a small cake and passed it to the man's mouth, "Is it about work? Don't be nervous, just let it go."

Li Pu lowered his eyes and looked at the cake for a moment, then leaned over to take a bite and took the opportunity to hold Bai Gaoxing's wrist.

Bai Gaoxing widened his eyes slightly, and only came to his senses when the fork felt empty and the temperature that did not belong to him left.

It feels... hot.

Bai Gaoxing couldn't help but touch the wrist that was being held with his other hand, circled it and rubbed it twice, then looked at Li Pu.

He sat there quietly, no different from usual, except that the tips of his ears were slightly red, as if he was very hot.

It is very hot.

Bai Gaoxing ate another small piece of cake. The air conditioner in the broker's office was turned on very warmly. He felt a little sweaty after just a short while in the office.

He forked another piece of cake and handed it to Li Pu, but this time the man shook his head and said, "You eat it."

Then he won't be polite.

Bai Gaoxing turned his back and continued eating, not noticing the man behind him exhaling slowly, his eyes becoming complicated and deep. :-)

Li Pu shook hands pretentiously, the remaining warmth on his fingertips had not yet faded.

He just wanted to confirm... but now it seems that there is no need.

There were only a few cakes in a box, so Bai Gaoxing finished them quickly, exhaled a satisfied sigh, and turned around and said, "Shall we go?"

…

The filming of the movie did not start until December. During that time, Li Pho had other work, so Bai Gaoxing stayed at home and had nothing to do.

He followed Li Pu to a notice, and was dizzy and turned around the whole time, running around with Mei Youshu, and did not squat in the bird bag to rest easy. During the period, he was photographed and became a trending search. His white hair was too conspicuous, and people recognized him wherever he went, which was very troublesome. So after that, he volunteered to come back to look after the house.

But the feeling of being alone at home... is still a bit lonely.

Bai Gaoxing curled up on the sofa, thinking back to when he was still a parrot, he lay here all day long. After he turned back into a human, he still lay here all day long. He had made no progress at all!

But it doesn’t matter, there are only a few days left before leaving for Country M.

Bai Gaoxing thought about the plan he had made with Li Pu tonight - they agreed to start reading the script carefully from today, and it was the original version, in order to better understand the role. He admired this professionalism, but also looked forward to it more.

It has been three or four days since I last had a good night with Li Pu. He is either rushing to make announcements or on his way to make announcements. It is very tiring, but fortunately we are not far away and he still goes home every night.

An advertisement was playing on TV saying "If you are looking for a job, come to 886 different cities". Bai Gaoxing touched his chin and suddenly thought, after finishing filming the movie, should he find something serious to do?

Bai Gaoxing suddenly felt less bored and took out a notebook to start planning.

He is already an adult, so there is no age restriction for his job, and he has a "iron rice bowl" at Star Entertainment, so it seems like he has nothing to worry about.

However, he could not always be Le Pho's translator, as not every play of Le Pho was in a foreign language. Moreover, if there was a language that he did not know, he would be of no use. Not to mention that he did not want to be a translator for other actors at all.

What about finding another job?

Bai Gaoxing put a question mark on the notebook and counted what he could do.

First of all, it's...CV? Dubbing actors and the like. He found that his ability to impersonate voices did not disappear after becoming a human. On the contrary, because of his wider vocal range, he became more outstanding.

And... a bird keeper? He can actually understand the language of birds! He discovered this long after he turned back into a human. He had always thought that there were people chatting downstairs, but when he accidentally went out, he found that it was birds talking. If he does this, maybe he can save birds that are sick for unknown reasons.

Finally, he became a "professional" anchor. But that was a career created by Dabai. What kind of content could a newbie like him broadcast? Lectures? He didn't have a license, and he would lose interest after broadcasting for a long time. It would be better for him to be a parrot anchor and fly around to show his cuteness.

Other than that, there are just ordinary odd jobs.

After all, his information only covers his age up to high school graduation, and the rest is still blank.

Bai Gaoxing bit his pen and thought deeply. He turned around and heard the sound of the door opening. He immediately put down his notebook and walked over to greet him, "You're back~"

The man outside the door was emitting cold air.

"It's very cold outside, right?" Bai Gaoxing glanced at the balcony. The frost on the window was gathered like flowers.

"Not bad." Li Pu hung up his coat, and the exposed knuckles of his fingers were slightly red. Bai Gaoxing stared at him and went to the tea table to pour a cup of hot water.

I am already very familiar with this home.

Li Pu saw Bai Gaoxing's actions, and his gaze softened unconsciously.

Both of them had already eaten, so they got straight to the point. They each took a copy of the script and prepared to read it through tonight.

"I only read your part before, and I haven't had time to read the whole thing." Bai Gaoxing said, "It may be a little slow later."

"Then take your time."

The temperature dropped tonight, and the wind was howling outside the window, but it was very warm inside the house.

While Bai Gaoxing was reading the original text and translating it, he raised his hand to push away the hair that was scratching the back of his neck.

His hair is a little longer now than when he was a human, which is a bit of a bother, but

I don't dare to cut it casually, for fear that I will become bald after turning back into a parrot.

Bai Gaoxing had formed a habit of unconsciously combing his hair these past few days. After doing this several times in a row, Li Pu glanced at him, stood up and opened the drawer under the TV cabinet.

Bai Gaoxing raised his head in confusion and found that the man was holding a box of rubber bands.

"Why do you have this at home?" He stared with wide eyes. When he opened the cabinet before, he thought it was a tea box.

"It was used to tie a wig before." Li Pu said, and then explained further, "The agent gave it to me."

"Oh..." Bai Gaoxing nodded, and then saw Li Pu waving at him, motioning him to sit next to him.

Bai Gaoxing walked over suspiciously and sat on the bench in front of him, "Do you know how to weave?"

He thought the wigs were all the responsibility of the crew.

"A little bit." Li Pu said, running his fingers through the boy's snow-white hair.

It felt smooth like satin and slipped easily through the fingers. Fortunately, Li Pu had big hands and was able to gather them together with just a pinch.

Bai Gaoxing felt the warmth behind his head, then relaxed and let the man do what he wanted to him.

As his fingers moved back and forth, he squinted his eyes in comfort.

After a while, Bai Gaoxing held up a newly-made bun and touched it curiously, "What does it look like?"

He ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror, and came back satisfied, "Your craftsmanship is really good, I'll leave it to you from now on."

Li Pu looked at him and smiled lightly, "Okay."
