Chapter 12
Then there were two consecutive rainy days, and the plan to go out was ruined.
The previous idea of "going out to find a way back" was completely dispelled - after seeing the endless real world on the treetops, Bai Gaoxing realized that his idea was too simple. In this situation where he had no clue, even if he really left Li Pu, he would have nowhere to go.
Let's stay here for now.
The closed life at home is not so unbearable. Maybe it’s because he’s gotten used to it, but Bai Gaoxing actually feels that such a peaceful and boring life is not that bad.
…or just “okay”.
Finally, Li Pho began to shut himself off again, suffocating.
Bai Gaoxing pulled the food box with his claws, and seeing that there was enough food inside, he crawled out of the cage and flew to the sofa behind the man's shoulder.
The brief relief before seemed to be an illusion. Today, Li Pho was still sitting in a corner of the sofa, seemingly looking at the rain and swaying tree shadows outside the window, but in fact his eyes were blank and he didn't know where to look.
It was raining heavily outside, and the sound of the rain hitting the glass made a muffled sound.
The overly gloomy weather added a somewhat gloomy atmosphere to the entire room, and also made Li Phou, whose side profile was only visible in the dimness, look a little depressed.
The mental state is worrying.
Bai Gaoxing gritted his teeth and said, forget it, I'm used to it.
Take care.
Thinking of this, Bai Gaoxing leaned over and pecked the man's ear. After getting his attention, he jumped onto the sofa, grabbed the TV remote that had been neglected beside him, and pressed the switch.
"Good afternoon everyone, today's weather forecast will be..."
The sudden sound brought a lot of liveliness to the deserted house. Li Pu was startled at first, then he lowered his eyes to look at the white ball that seemed to be comforting himself clumsily. He took the remote control as it wished and changed to a program that he found it liked more after summarizing his experience.
animal world.
Bai Gaoxing contentedly retracted his paws into his furry chest hair and watched the show intently - it was worth it that he had bitten Li Pu's sleeve and shouted "no cartoons" many times before, and now he found a TV program that was long enough and not boring.
It just so happened that what was being shown now was a survival record of large parrots in the tropical rainforest, which also provided some popular science information about the world's famous parrot species. It was well worth listening to for him.
Unlike Bai Gaoxing who quickly fell into the world of television, Li Pu stared at his new pet for a while and became more and more certain that he was comforted.
It is a truly novel feeling, which the fish in the aquarium cannot give you.
After Dabai came to the house, he spent a shorter adaptation period than expected, and then he became familiar with him. Although he sometimes gets anxious, it is probably the so-called "depression state". Usually, he shows more spirituality that is much higher than that of his peers.
Li Phou couldn't help but think of the time when he was interrupted while sitting on the sofa thinking - this was probably Dabai's way of expressing his concern because he thought he was too quiet.
Well, Baymax's condition has improved.
Li Pu reached out and smoothed the feathers on the parrot's head, then looked at its chest which was almost covered by down, and felt a little relieved.
Afterwards, he opened the drawer under the coffee table, took out his laptop that had not been used for a long time, turned it on, and walked into the kitchen with the cup in hand.
——The aroma of coffee in the air is getting stronger and stronger. The coffee I brewed earlier will be ready soon. Watching a script after that can be a good pastime.
Perhaps it was because the rain made people lose motivation, and Li Pu became a bit slow. So he didn't see that after he turned around, Bai Gaoxing, who was watching TV, flew to the computer, and his cute bird face showed a thoughtful expression that only humans can have.
Bai Gaoxing still remembered the adventurous action he took when he first arrived, looking up information directly on this computer... It was also fortunate that Li Pu seldom used a computer, or had no habit of reading historical records, otherwise he would have been discovered.
Until later, he couldn't help but want to expose himself as a human. Although he failed, these browsing records still exist as evidence.
The only question now is... to stay, or not?
To be honest, after the failure of his self-explosion, Bai Gaoxing was a little hesitant about revealing his identity. First, knowing that he was a parrot, with a natural talent for language, it would be much harder to convince people; second, even if Li Pu knew about it, what would it do? It would only add to his pressure.
Besides... it's the same old question, what if I can get through it again? Saying it out loud would only scare people for nothing, and it would be bad if there were any sequelae.
Still impulsive.
Bai Gaoxing scratched his head with his claws in distress, but his body made a decision very quickly.
He used his claws to control the movement of the cursor, clicked into the history records, found the few entries he had searched several days ago, and deleted them one by one.
These movements were indeed difficult for the parrot, but the tension of racing against time just stimulated its potential, and Bai Gaoxing successfully completed the feat of deleting the record.
——The second before Li Pu came out with the coffee.
Li Pu saw the parrot moving back and forth on the computer keyboard and thought it was attracted by the fluorescent light of the computer. He put the cup on the table and sat down, opened the file containing the script, and slowly read it.
Bai Gaoxing watched from the side for a while, then turned his attention back to watching the TV program.
I really don't understand why you can't sleep but still drink coffee every day.
At this moment, Li Pu was staring intently at the computer screen, his slender white fingers bent and firmly holding the handle of the cup.
The picture of him drinking coffee and looking at the computer makes him look like a business elite. If it weren't for the very casual pajamas, he would look more like a white-collar worker working in a street cafe.
About an hour later, Bai Gaoxing forced his eyes open and took a look at Li Pu's progress.
I have just marked five pages of the script.
He turned his head to look at the sky outside the window. It was still dim and the rain showed no sign of stopping.
Do I really have to read the script for a whole day?
Bai Gaoxing thought it was scary and jumped onto the computer to try to stop it. However, he overestimated his ability to control his claws. The business notebook was thin and light, and the shell was slippery. He didn't hook the claws well, and the mouse rolled down and kicked it several times.
"Hey... no... wait..." ①This work is created by ①
After a struggle, Bai Gaoxing fell backwards on the keyboard, spreading his wings and panting.
In Li Phou's view, this was another case of Ai Pei asking for attention.
He gently turned the large white parrot over and smoothed the drooping tuft of feathers on its head.
Looking at the smile in the man's eyes above him, Bai Gaoxing suddenly felt very embarrassed. He snorted and turned away.
When he turned around, he saw that the script that was originally open on the screen had disappeared, and instead, a hot search interface popped up by his random clicking, with the current hot label.
Today's, fresh, hot.
How long has it been since I last used the Internet? Bai Gaoxing perked up and immediately shifted his focus.
1.#About the preparations for the new film by Actor Lai#
2. #黎譜微博评论区哀孜#
3. #New Era Little Flower Selection#
At first glance, two of the first three trending searches are related to Li Pho.
Bai Gaoxing looked at Li Pu in surprise. He didn't expect that in a circle where one day of disappearance would lose one day of popularity, he could still be in the top three trending searches after staying at home for so long? Could he be a water army hired by the company?
However, he couldn't ask this question and could only make a random guess.
With a click of the mouse, Li Pu obviously had no intention of reading these things. These three trending searches appeared in Bai Gaoxing's sight and then jumped away two seconds later, and were replaced by some social news.
...It's meaningless.
Bai Gaoxing glanced at it a few times and found that they were all daily news with few key information. At most, it made him understand that this world was almost the same as before, and his cognition was not affected.
"Look at something else." Bai Gaoxing jumped onto Li Pu's shoulder again, tightened his claws and shook them, blinking his round eyes a few times, "Look at something else."
Li Pu leaned forward slightly and asked with a smile, "What do you want to see?"
How would he know that!
Bai Gaoxing didn't expect Li Pu to do such a hands-off thing. It was too casual to let a parrot choose which page to read. Besides, if he really started typing... you would be scared to death.
Although he thought so, Bai Gaoxing still pretended to do it.
White light flashed, and Alt Tab and Win R kept flipping back and forth, almost hitting the shutdown button.
After switching between various shortcut keys in a mess, Bai Gaoxing finally clicked the mouse to the part he wanted to see.
Trending searches about Li Pho.
After clicking in, Bai Gaoxing also deliberately observed Li Pu's expression to prevent any PTSD from happening.
According to the law, the more popular a person is in the entertainment industry, the more likely they are to receive all kinds of strange comments.
Unexpectedly, Li Piao did not show any objection, but instead showed a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Apparently, he doesn’t really watch his own trending searches.
Bai Gaoxing was a little hesitant. Did he open the door to a new world for Li Pho? Or... the other company had originally forbidden Li Pho to read these things, so was he violating the company's regulations?
After all, who would have thought a parrot would read entertainment news, right?
Just like Bai Gaoxing thought, Li Pu indeed didn't read much news about himself, but it was not because the company prohibited it or his own situation did not allow it, but because he didn't care much.
For an actor, it is better to polish his work than to care about the outside world's evaluation, so he did not even have the management authority of his private account.
These are said to be ways to increase popularity, which are currently recognized as popular methods among young actors and idols. He does have platform accounts, but
The most important thing is to be handed over to the agent to manage, and the rest is forgotten after the application is completed.
He remembered... Dashu seemed to have backed up the password for him in his cell phone log?
His thoughts flashed across his mind briefly, and Li Phou went back to looking at his computer.
Bai Gaoxing also watched it carefully.
The first trending search is enough to show the entertainment industry is in dire straits. Among the many cheers and praises, a few weird sarcasms are particularly eye-catching and very infuriating to read.
"Dabai, what's wrong?"
Li Pu noticed that the parrot, which had been fine just now, suddenly exploded into a badminton. He soothed it with his fingertips, then searched on his mobile phone for "What should I do if my parrot suddenly explodes?"
Bai Gaoxing found that Li Pu didn't seem to have any special reaction, so he yawned in relief and shook his feathers casually, and his fluffy feathers became smooth again.
Li Pu switched to the second trending search, this time it was a screenshot.
The specially enlarged picture is more intuitive, and the title is a text edited by the editor: After the filming of the last movie, actor Lai has disappeared for nearly two weeks ~ fans can't wait.
Immediately afterwards, the passionate comment section appeared in Bai Gaoxing's sight.
[Damn it! Why don’t you just send a message? Take a selfie! Live stream! Just one sentence will do!]
[Heh, I’ve been here for a long time. The last message I posted was three months ago when I was tagged by the crew.]
[Mr. Wuwuwuwu is simply a weirdo in the entertainment industry. I wonder if he is the only one in the industry who doesn't go online during the holidays. Or does he just not know how to go online?]
[Please! If Li Pu can live stream, I will stand upside down and eat my keyboard while masturbating! Didn’t they say that he has special contracts with several platforms? Is this all fake?]
[Can’t he have some sympathy for his fans? ? Others: New Rice Man Han Banquet! My family: Hot Pot. ]
[Those platforms are not working. It’s cold now. They can’t even invite the best actor. They’re going bankrupt. (deep.jpg)]
This... is much friendlier than the first trending search. The message conveyed in it is enough to show how much Li Phou dislikes speaking on public platforms.
Bai Gaoxing looked at Li Pu with an indescribable look. If this was considered hunger marketing, his fans would probably have starved to death long ago.
Li Phou's expression at this moment was quite normal. He did not have the "sympathy" shown in the picture, nor the "guilt" as a star. He just showed a thoughtful expression and continued to scroll down the page.
At this moment, the mobile phone left on the coffee table suddenly rang, and the caller ID showed Dashu.
Li Pu waited for a moment, picked up the phone, and walked to a corner of the living room while answering it. When he heard the voice from the other end, "Brother Li, did you see what's trending today?", he subconsciously looked at the big white ball squatting on the computer.
Then he replied coldly: "No."
