Chapter 133
The nosebleed came heavily. When I covered my nose, there was already a lot of blood on my clothes.
Bai Gaoxing stood blankly in the middle of the living room, with deep and shallow blurred circles on his chest and his snow-white fingers stained red. At first glance, he looked quite miserable.
It was not until Li Pho pulled him to sit on the sofa that he reacted in a daze.
What's happening?
In his eighteen years of life plus one year of bird life, he has never had a nosebleed...!
Remembering the slogan in elementary school that one should look up when having a nosebleed, Bai Gaoxing raised his head stupidly, but within two seconds, Li Pu pressed his head down again, "Sit still."
Putting him in a slightly forward-leaning position, with Li Pu's fingers still pinching his nose, Bai Gaoxing asked in a low voice, "When is a good time?"
Li Pu observed the tissue and felt that it was no longer stained. He squeezed it for a while before carefully letting go of it. "... OK."
Bai Gaoxing touched his nose again, and this time it stopped bleeding.
But the hidden heat in the body still persists.
Li Pu touched his face with the back of his hand, then touched his forehead, "Does it hurt?"
Bai Gaoxing shook his head, embarrassed to remember that his nosebleed started because he read Li Pu, and hesitantly said, "I don't know what happened..."
He couldn't hold it back to this extent...
Li Pu thought for a moment, and thinking about the fact that the weather has been warmer recently, he said, "Maybe it's just too dry recently."
Bai Gaoxing nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's probably why."
After saying that, he rushed to the bathroom as if fleeing in panic, and washed the bloodstains in front of the mirror.
Soon everything returned to normal. Bai Gaoxing looked in the mirror, watching the water droplets drip down the tip of his nose, and smoothed his wet hair. Everything seemed to be normal.
My face is just a little red.
Bai Gaoxing moved closer to the mirror and pinched his face, leaving a noticeable red mark.
He smacked his lips, knowing that he blushed easily, but wouldn't it be too embarrassing to have a nosebleed in front of Li Pu? ?
Bai Gaoxing leaned on the sink, waiting quietly for the red color to fade away. The restlessness in his body also subsided at an extremely fast speed, as if it was his illusion.
alright.
Bai Gaoxing slapped his face, turned around and put the matter behind him.
As a result, this situation is happening more and more frequently.
The feeling of being caught in a dilemma kept coming up in waves, and then disappeared just when he was about to explore, making it impossible for him to calm down the whole day. He thought he might not be able to sleep at night, but he didn't expect that only at night could he feel a little better.
Especially when lying in the quilt, enveloped by Li Pho's breath.
Bai Gaoxing buried his face in the quilt and took a deep breath. Then he felt it was not enough, so he turned over and hugged Li Pu's back, exhaling with satisfaction.
…
Exuberant.
It was another morning, and Bai Gaoxing felt inexplicably excited.
It felt like something was about to burst out of his body. He wanted to vent, but he couldn't find any way.
If I had to describe this feeling in words, it would be... I want to step on someone.
Bai Gaoxing's breathing stagnated, and he felt sad about his own weird thoughts. Then he concluded that it must be because he was under a lot of pressure from the exams and had too much energy, so he needed to vent it out.
So, when Li Pu came back from his morning run, Bai Gaoxing embraced him like a koala.
"What's wrong?" He held the boy's thigh.
"I don't know what happened." Bai Gaoxing said excitedly, his face flushed, "I want to go down and run two laps!"
Li Pu: “Wait…”
Before he could finish his words, Bai Gaoxing slammed the door and left, leaving Li Pu with a look of doubt in his eyes.
…
This was his first time coming to the small garden after he turned back into a human.
New buds sprouted from the familiar green plants, and a patch of wild flowers grew on the lawn. The sun rose earlier and earlier, and more people went out in the morning. From a distance, the fitness equipment area looked very busy.
Bai Gaoxing ran around the flowerbed twice. The heat in his body was gradually replaced by the passion of exercise. Then he put his hands on his hips, slowed down his pace, and walked back along the path.
When I turned around, I saw a familiar figure.
The gray-haired old man named Ren was sitting comfortably on a stool, leaning on his crutches with both hands, a thick paper bag leaning against his feet, and two bird cages beside him.
They are all starlings.
Bai Gaoxing recognized at a glance that one of them was a sweary and aggressive starling, while the other one was smaller in size and was probably its cub.
"..." He still remembered the fear of being dominated by dirty words.
"Dabai." Suddenly, someone tapped his shoulder and he turned around to see Li Pu standing behind him. Bai Gaoxing was surprised, "Why are you here?"
"I'll come down to find you." Li Pu said, took two steps forward, and saw Mr. Ren sitting in the shade.
Mr. Ren also saw them, and immediately smiled and waved at them, "Isn't this Xiao Li? You finally have time to come out. Come on."
Li Pu and Bai Gaoxing walked over.
Ren Lao, who already knew that Li Pu was an actor, sighed when he saw him and said nostalgically, "It feels like I haven't seen you for half a year."
Then he looked at Bai Gaoxing: "This is..."
Bai Gaoxing was the first to answer, smiling, "I'm Teacher Li's assistant."
"Oh~" Mr. Ren nodded in sudden realization, "You look very young, are you still in college?"
Bai Gaoxing laughed dryly: "No, I just started preparing for the exam this year."
"Really?" The old man suddenly became excited. "What exam are you going to take?"
Bai Gaoxing glanced at Li Pu and said, "Jiangcheng University."
The old man immediately smiled cheerfully, "Hello, Jiang Da, we welcome a pretty young man like you."
ah?
Bai Gaoxing was a little confused. Then Mr. Ren started chatting with Li Pu again. He couldn't get a word in, so he looked at the two bird cages.
"Do you like starlings? Go take a look." The old man's kind voice sounded behind him. Bai Gaoxing turned around in surprise and saw the other party nodding.
Then he won’t be polite!
Bai Gaoxing sneaked to the cage secretly and did not see the sympathy and regret in Ren Lao's eyes.
Li Pu saw it, but remained silent.
The boy had snow-white hair and was often thought to be in poor health.
It's just that some people will ask out of curiosity, and some people will, like Mr. Ren, make up a bunch of random thoughts in their minds out of politeness.
But there is no need to explain it actively... After all, in the human world, the albino gene is indeed a mutation.
Li Pu sighed and continued chatting with Mr. Ren.
On this side, Bai Gaoxing squatted in front of the cage.
Let me first sigh, "Things have changed and people have changed", which means that in the blink of an eye, I have become a human, but you are still a bird.
Bai Gaoxing stared at the black mynah bird in front of him, watching it look at him warily and suddenly utter the words "Fuck you!"
.
Hey, it’s that one again.
Bai Gaoxing was filled with nostalgia and turned to look at the other cage. The face in this cage was young and the eyes were clear.
He reached out and fiddled with the cage, and heard Xiaoguai yell, "Fuck! Don't touch my stupid son!"
What a cruel bird! When he gets angry, he even scolds his own son!
Bai Gaoxing was stunned. He turned back and remained silent for a while, then tried to whistle: Do you still recognize me?
After becoming a human, he could still understand bird language, but he had never practiced bird language. He thought that no matter how good human speech was, it would be impossible to communicate with birds. But now...
Looking at Xiaoguai's wide eyes, he knew that there was a way.
"Who are you?" Xiaoguai was very alert.
Bai Gaoxing teased again: "Guess?"
Xiaoguai leaned forward and asked, "Dabai?"
Now it was Bai Gaoxing who was stunned. How could he recognize this? "How did you recognize me?"
"I don't know," said the little darling impatiently, "but your words are so vague that it's hard to listen to."
Bai Gaoxing: “…”Okay, I knew that whistling is only of some use.
"Why don't I see your wife?" He teased the silly starling's cage again.
Xiaoguai was very proud, "She is hatching eggs at home, eight eggs!"
Bai Gaoxing: "Oh~ then you are really brave."
After chatting for a few sentences, Bai Gaoxing saw Li Pu was about to leave, so he stood up as well. Just after taking two steps, he heard Xiaoguai's voice coming from behind him: "Hey!"
He turned around and saw the suspicious look in the starling's eyes. "How did you become a human?"
Bai Gaoxing touched his chin and said, "I won't tell you."
Xiaoguai: "Grass."
At that time, Li Pho had just rejected Mr. Ren's enthusiastic words of "I'll give you a little mynah bird", turned around and waved to Bai Gaoxing, and when the others arrived, he politely said goodbye to Mr. Ren.
"Next time you come to visit, bring your Dabai with you." Mr. Ren smiled warmly and said happily to Bai: "Have you decided on your major? Are you interested in applying for mathematics? Mathematics is really fun!"
There was a big look of doubt in Bai Gaoxing's eyes.
There was no answer to this question. On the way back, Bai Gaoxing kept wondering what Mr. Ren meant. He couldn't help but look back and found that two young men had come to the old man at some point, and there were also vague sounds coming from them.
"Professor Ren..."
Professor? Did he hear it wrong?
…
After returning home, Li Pu looked at Bai Gaoxing's blushing face again. Combined with the private message that day and Mr. Ren's words "hugging the nest", a guess flashed through his mind, but because he was not sure, he suppressed the idea.
Time passes slowly.
Another week passed, and Bai Gaoxing spent it in hurried review and occasional heat. During this period, Li Pu also had work arrangements and went out frequently.
It's even more unbearable.
Bai Gaoxing's writing speed gradually slowed down, and then he leaned forward on the table as if giving up, leaning against the cool surface, hoping to make himself feel better.
Anxious.
Very anxious.
Bai Gaoxing knew that if he continued with this mentality, his review efficiency would never improve, but he didn't know why he was anxious. The blood in his body was surging, and he complained and wanted to relieve it.
His thoughts became slow and he reached for the bedroom closet, breathing heavily on Li Pu's clothes, then threw the clothes one by one onto the bed, forming a circle.
By the time he reacted, Li Pu's closet had been turned upside down as if it had been robbed, and the bed was full of stuff.
And he sat inside the clothes.
Bai Gaoxing was holding a piece of clothing, his eyes were a little vague, and the corners of his eyes and cheeks were covered with a layer of red.
This was what Li Pho saw when he returned.
If he was still unsure before, this scene was enough for him to confirm his guess - she had white hair and dark complexion.
It's not like he hadn't heard the boy say that he could understand bird language, or that he got hungry faster than normal people, but he never imagined that the human body could be affected by a parrot to this extent.
But, at this time...
Li Pu tightened his grip and rescued the man from the pile of clothes, and heard him say, "Don't destroy my nest!"
He was obviously unconscious.
Li Pu tied Bai Gaoxing to his legs, tidied up his clothes that were already in a mess, put him at the head of the bed, and tidied up the other messy clothes.
Bai Gaoxing leaned against the bed in a daze, watching Li Pu busying himself. After a long pause, he asked, "What are you doing?"
Without waiting for Li Pho to answer, he asked again: "What's wrong with me?"
Li Pu had already packed most of his clothes. He sighed and came to Bai Gaoxing, touching his forehead. "It's okay."
After a pause, he said, "Spring is here, and your body may have been affected."
Oh oh... Bai Gaoxing's mind was still in a mess, and he only remembered what Li Pu said about "spring".
Bai Gaoxing felt worse today than any other day. He couldn't suppress his restlessness, and his mouth was dry and his heart was palpitating. But he hadn't eaten anything bad, and the weather wasn't hot enough to cause a heat stroke...
Seeing Li Pu still busy, Bai Gaoxing couldn't help but grab his hand, "What should I do... I feel so uncomfortable..."
He looked at the man for help, his black eyes becoming wet.
Looking at the young man curled up at the head of the bed, Li Pu's breathing became heavy and his voice became a little hoarse, "It might be Fa Qian."
In love...?
Perhaps it was because he had never encountered these two words before, so even thinking about them was extremely difficult. Bai Gaoxing was stunned at first, and then became unbelievable, but the next second, another wave of enthusiasm hit him.
Bai Gaoxing's mind was in a mess. He pulled Li Pu hard, and his speech was almost mixed up: "Hurry up, help me..."
At this moment, there was nothing more urgent than relieving the pain. Bai Gaoxing pulled the person closer, and his soft voice was filled with unbearable tears: "Don't you... miss it?"
Li Pho really wanted to.
During this time, he would think about those things every time he came into contact with the boy, but because he was worried about delaying his study, he decided to just wait until after the exam before considering such matters.
I didn't expect... there would be such a mistake.
Li Pu felt the palm of his arm being pressed against the boy's, it was very hot, and his pulse kept beating with his breathing. In a very short time, he recalled where the things he had prepared before were, and how to avoid hurting the boy.
But even if it was just a few seconds, it was too long in Bai Gaoxing's perception.
The grievances of failed attempts for so long had piled up layer by layer, and the unbearable desire engulfed him like a wave, and his remaining endurance was exhausted to the point of gnashing of teeth.
Bai Gaoxing's body was trembling from the heat, his breathing was short, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked like a wet bird, listless yet fierce:
"Le Pho..."
"You can't?"
