Chapter 110
Time passed slowly, and it was December in a blink of an eye.
Nothing particularly important happened during this period. Apart from the fact that the crew had completely confirmed all the actors and sent out congratulatory emails, life was still very peaceful.
There were still five hours before boarding the plane to Country M. Bai Gaoxing checked his luggage again before leaving and pulled the handle, "OK!"
Li Piao looked at him, took a few steps closer, and reached out to straighten his collar.
Bai Gaoxing subconsciously raised his chin and rubbed it there, then suddenly came to his senses, pinched himself in annoyance, and turned to stare at Li Pu's hand.
Although it has been a while since he turned back into a human, he still couldn't resist the urge to put his face into the man's hand.
Li Pu looked at the boy's movements with amusement, and pressed his fingertips against the side of his face where a little red mark had been left.
"When can I get rid of this habit..." Bai Gaoxing sighed deeply, it was too late to regret the consequences of indulging in his instincts.
No need to change it.
Li Pu stared at the red marks under his fingertips, rubbed them gently twice, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
But he didn't say this out loud, instead he said, "Let's go."
The wheels of the suitcase rolled forward, passing the canary cage by the living room wall. The two figures disappeared behind the door as it closed.
Mei Youshu was already waiting downstairs.
"Brother Shu!" Bai Gaoxing greeted the man and walked towards the trunk with the suitcase. Li Pu quickly took it from him and put the luggage in.
Mei Youshu responded blankly, his eyes fixed on Bai Gaoxing's face. It took him a long while to react. The man who was leaning against the car door suddenly jumped up with a subtle expression.
That's... a fingerprint?
He looked at Li Pu who was putting away his luggage. The man had a calm face and nothing could be seen from his expression.
Mei Youshu's heart was on the edge of struggle, and it was hard for him not to think in strange ways.
With a click, the trunk was closed. Bai Gaoxing opened the back door and found Mei Youshu still standing outside. He asked in confusion, "Brother Shu, aren't you cold?"
At this time and in this weather, if you stay outside for a while, you will be freezing cold.
"Oh, oh." Mei Youshu sat in the driver's seat, "It's okay, come out and get some fresh air."
It was extremely warm in the car. As soon as Bai Gaoxing got in, his glasses were covered with a layer of white mist. He took off his glasses and wiped them, but they turned white again. So he gave up and pinned them to his collar and took out his cell phone.
He's opening for business!
After research, it was found that every time Li Pho entered a new schedule, the company would operate on his behalf - this was basically the case on Weibo in the past few years. The pictures and texts were all in a faint Li Pho style, but old fans could find that many of the posts were not from him.
If there is really no time to post it on Li Pu’s account, then the broker or assistant in the same industry can post it so that they can also see the progress.
So... as Li Pu's fellow translator, he will post a message first to warm up!
When he arrived at the airport, before boarding time, Bai Gaoxing took a photo of the night sky, captioned it "Get ready!" and sent it out.
After delivering the money, he waved to Li Pu and said, "I'll help you deliver it!"
Li Pho handed over his cell phone.
Mei Youshu, who had just parked the car, happened to see this scene. He silently deleted the edited Weibo post and then walked over to the two people.
Bai Gaoxing took another photo of the airport scenery as he did before, copied the previous text, and was about to click publish when he was stopped by a hand that suddenly stretched out.
Mei Youshu said quietly, "It's best to post a selfie."
I don't know what happened this time. Before we set off, Sister Li reminded him that he must let Li Pu do more business this time and it would be best if he could show up more often.
"Oh! Let's take a selfie!" Bai Gaoxing suddenly realized and flipped the camera to selfie mode.
...I'm afraid Brother Li won't agree. Mei Youshu, who was used to Li Pu refusing to do business, thought so. The next second, he widened his eyes and saw Li Pu nodded, leaning forward slightly, and putting himself in the lens raised by the young man.
Bai Gaoxing adjusted the angle for the camera and suddenly felt a little cool on the tip of his nose. He raised his head and saw white snow falling from the sky, leaving beautiful traces in the camera lens.
It's snowing.
…
At this moment, Li Pho's fans were shocked to the extreme by the two photos released in succession.
After a long period of silence, some people gradually started to stir, until someone typed the first sentence "F*ck!"
"dbq, I'm going to rebel."
"Help! This is real!"
"Ahhhh, I told you they were both stupid!"
In the picture, the boy raised his arms, almost leaning on the man's arms, and his smile, completely exposed to the night, was more gorgeous than the gorgeous lights in the background.
The silvery white snowflakes fell on them, becoming embellishments in the man's hair, but completely melting into the boy's white hair.
Li Pho, who has never posted a selfie before, not only did he post one today, but he also looked proactive.
No, it must be proactive.
The fans who just read Bai Gaoxing's Weibo were extremely confident. They used microscope level to discover many details.
"From this angle, the photos posted on Weibo by both of them were taken by Xiaobai!"
"Teacher Li bent down on her own initiative and cried to death."
"Teacher Xiaobai looks soft and must feel really nice to hold in your hands."
"There are so many dog heads in this photo of Assistant Mei. Who can photoshop him out?"
"Brother Shu was confused and shocked hhhhhh"
Ever since White showed up, they have been keeping an eye on the two's movements.
It only took a few days for her to go from being surprised at the boy's similar appearance and temperament to the parrot raised by Li Pho and wondering if it was a coincidence to being completely captured by the boy.
Li Pu's updates were no different from usual, he still posted Dabai's videos, and there was no activity on other platforms; the boy was active in the comment section of his own Weibo, without any airs, and he would enthusiastically answer netizens' language questions.
And! Still! White hair!
How could someone appear to have walked out of a fantasy? Fans couldn't put the photo down and looked at it over and over again, wishing they could engrave this scene in their eyes.
"Teacher Li is going abroad to film a movie, what will happen to Dabai?" Amid the noise, someone asked this question.
Oops.
The sensitive fans sensed the tension in the air, and a battle was about to break out, another battle between the two whites.
In the teenager's comment section, the hottest and most intense topic is whether or not to bring up Dabai's question here.
Some people want to see the interaction between one man and one bird, while others think it is disrespectful to Teacher Xiaobai.
Even Mr. Xiaobai once responded to someone saying that he looked like the parrot Dabai - "Wow! Really? I'll definitely go see it if I get the chance!"
But the man and the bird never appeared in the same frame.
Some people said that this was for sure, because Dabai was Teacher Li’s beloved pet and how could he allow outsiders to see him casually; some people said that Teacher Xiaobai might not like being said like that, but in order to maintain her image she could only refuse politely.
In short... everything is possible.
The CP party is even more popular, and has begun to divide the camps with "The parrot Dabai is the one that Li Pu cherishes the most" and "Pets are just pets after all, and only people can be together." ③This③ work③ is③ produced③ by③
You guys...are really free.
Rational fans remained neutral, saying, have you ever thought that Mr. Li might be a man with normal species preferences, and Mr. Xiaobai is simply a hired translator?
Someone replied to the man's question: "Maybe... or should we leave it to the company? Wasn't it Sister Li who helped take care of Dabai before?"
Weibo was very lively, but on the other hand, the people involved were completely unaware of the situation.
After posting the Weibo message, Bai Gaoxing returned the phone to Li Pu. He did not read any subsequent replies and just waited to board the plane.
As a result, my wish to fly to Country M immediately was shattered.
The flight was delayed due to sudden heavy snow, and the group could only wait in the airport restaurant.
"A-choo!" Bai Gaoxing sneezed and sniffed.
When Mei Youshu saw this, he immediately poured a cup of hot water and said, "Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Thank you." Bai Gaoxing took the cup of water and muttered, "Maybe a little? I always have a runny nose in winter."
It was very hot in the car, and a little cold when taking pictures outside. I even took off my coat when entering the restaurant. The mixture of hot and cold made Bai Gaoxing feel that he had been careless.
A warm hand touched his forehead. Bai Gaoxing was startled and looked up at Li Pu.
"It's good that you don't have a fever." said Li Pu.
"Not that weak, then." He sniffed again.
Mei Youshu was well prepared and brought some cold syrup. After drinking a cup of medicine, Bai Gaoxing felt his whole body warmed up.
Still drowsy.
Bai Gaoxing dozed off with his face propped up, his eyes squinting, and his head almost tilted down, then swayed back and forth.
After repeating this action several times, Li Pu sat directly next to the boy and rested his head on his shoulder.
Bai Gaoxing was startled and his eyes opened immediately, but after a moment they closed again in a daze.
"I'll call you later."
Li Pu's voice was very close, and its deep and magnetic voice gave people an inexplicable sense of security. Bai Gaoxing fell asleep peacefully.
Mei Youshu stared at Li Pu's series of actions in amazement. He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't utter a word, so he closed his mouth silently.
It can't be what he thinks...
…
A bustling city that never sleeps.
Las Vegas.
After taking a nap during the more than ten-hour flight, Bai Gaoxing regained his energy. Except for the occasional cough, he was completely fine.
The temperature here is much warmer than in China. When walking on the street, I can clearly feel that the clothes on my body are too thick.
But this made Bai Gaoxing even more enthusiastic.
Even at this time, the streets of Las Vegas are bustling with people. Brilliant lights shine through buildings of various shapes, dazzling colored lights outline the contours of gorgeous sculptures, and the air is filled with an unknown atmosphere that makes people excited.
Not long after, they arrived at the hotel arranged by the crew. It was very luxurious and gave people a visual shock from the appearance.
And the crew is indeed very rich.
Arriving at the floor reserved by the crew, a group of young men and women were sitting in the hall connected to the stairs, seemingly chatting.
It looked like they had been here for some time.
Bai Gaoxing looked around and found that there was
There are people I saw at the audition that day.
It seems that he has a pretty good vision?
As Bai Gaoxing silently stared at this group of people, this group of people were also staring at them.
The actors who were still discussing who hadn't arrived stopped talking the moment they saw the two of them.
A handsome man with black hair, black eyes and a cold temperament, and a beautiful boy with pure white hair who reminds people of an elf.
As soon as the two people appeared, everyone's attention was drawn to them.
The actors couldn't help but whisper to each other.
After a while, the brown-haired, green-eyed guy came over first, with his hands in his pockets, looking very casual.
"Hello~" He greeted casually, raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Pu, and made a pleasant sound with the tip of his tongue, "Adonis?"
The young man's name is Darren, the male lead in this movie. Bai Gaoxing has seen him from the information. He is a very famous young actor in Country F, and has only started to develop on the big screen in recent years.
Those green eyes remind people of jade, and when she smiles, it's like ripples on a lake in spring, full of vitality.
"Hello." Li Pu greeted him.
"Wow~" Darren turned his gaze to Bai Gaoxing, "So cute, why did you bring a child here? Is he an actor too?"
Li Pu did not quite understand what he said and looked away. Bai Gaoxing's smile froze for a moment and he explained in French: "I am the accompanying translator."
Darren was obviously stunned and looked at him with suspicion, "Really?"
Then, Mei Youshu went to put the luggage away, while Li Pu and Bai Gaoxing were dragged into the crowd.
Although the film is mostly in English, the actors come from different countries and not all of them can communicate in English, so many of them also brought translators. For example, Darren, a pure Chinese, speaks French and has to memorize all his lines.
Many times, conversations during the first encounter are done with the help of a translator.
The young man's fluent spoken English aroused the interest of the other actors, and they gathered around him after hearing that he knew more than one language.
However, Bai Gaoxing felt that the focus of the crowd seemed to have shifted.
"Wow, your hair color is so unique!"
"Can I touch it? Don't worry, it won't get dirty."
"What's your name? How old are you? Do you have a girlfriend? What about a boyfriend?"
"What roles have you played? I want to know you."
Facing the crowd's attack, Bai Gaoxing had no choice but to try his best to pull the topic back to Li Pu, "I am Mr. Li's translator, he is the actor!"
The white-haired boy was surrounded by the outstanding physiques of foreign young people, looking weak, helpless and pitiful. Li Pu grabbed the man out of the encirclement and said, "Sorry, this is my man."
The actors sighed with regret and watched the two go back to their room to pack their luggage.
Bai Gaoxing's heart was still pounding because of everyone's enthusiasm, and because Li Pu's last sentence was a bit awkward, he thought for a long time and asked, "Is it possible that everyone hasn't arrived yet?"
There seemed to be only a dozen people.
"Yes," said Li Pu. "It is said that Frank will come back in a few days. Let the actors get to know each other during these few days."
The director is a very casual person.
Bai Gaoxing nodded to show that he understood.
This time, the room was a double room. He lived with Li Pu, while Mei Youshu lived with another Chinese translator. The room was large, the bed was large, and the furniture was voice-controlled. It was enjoyable no matter how you looked at it, and it was in keeping with the style of Las Vegas.
After finishing his work, Bai Gaoxing looked at the time and found that adjusting to the jet lag was also a hassle.
But just as he was hesitating whether to take a nap, Allen knocked on their door.
"Are you still going to sleep?" The young man leaned against the door and looked at them in disbelief.
Li Pu looked up at the other party and asked, "Do you have any other plans?"
Bai Gaoxing repeated it in French.
"Of course." Darren looked at them. "You haven't forgotten the theme of our movie, have you? Some techniques can't be learned just by watching."
"Isn't it a basic quality for an actor to feel something deeply and then turn it into his own? So we plan to go shopping."
Bai Gaoxing already had a premonition of what the young man was referring to.
This was confirmed after he and Li Pho followed the group to their destination.
This dreamland is full of colorful lights and flashing neon lights, filled with the smell of money and desire.
"Welcome to the Casino."
