Chapter 14

Early in the morning, Bai Gaoxing was awakened by inexplicable footsteps.

There was a lot of noise in the living room, and I could hear a few unfamiliar voices talking.

Bai Gaoxing opened one eye sleepily and glanced at the clock. It was not yet eight o'clock.

At this time, Li Pho usually hasn't returned yet.

Then who is it?

Bai Gaoxing tilted his head, which hadn't started to move yet, and a few seconds later he spoke before he could think: "Who is it?"

The movement outside suddenly disappeared.

After this, Bai Gaoxing suddenly came to his senses and regretted his rashness.

What if the person outside is a thief... But, are there thieves in such a high-end community where the movie star lives?

It's not impossible.

Bai Gaoxing has never been a person who likes to say "absolutely". Moreover, he has personally experienced time travel, so what is impossible?

So, when the owner of the house is not at home, shouldn't the resident bird take care of it?

With this in mind, Bai Gaoxing flew down from the balcony stand, walked to the half-closed door, coughed lightly a few times, and thought of Li Pu's voice and asked, "Who is outside?"

It's deep and elegant, and it's about 80% similar to my own voice, if not exactly.

As a result, as soon as he said this, the situation outside became even more chaotic.

"Didn't we all see Mr. Li go out? What's going on inside?" A voice that wanted to cry but couldn't.

"Don't...don't say that, I'm afraid of ghosts!"

"You two are just making blind guesses. What if it's Mr. Li's cell phone ring?"

"No, no way? I don't think he is that narcissistic..."

Bai Gaoxing was very puzzled. Three people? A gang? Or did they come here after careful preparation?

"How about we go in and take a look?" said the first person.

Bai Gaoxing immediately coughed again: "You can't come in without my permission."

"Oh my god!" It became even more chaotic outside.

When Li Pho came back, he saw the three domestic workers he hired who came once a week huddled together and shivering.

He looked around at the brand new furniture and didn't notice anything unusual, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing his voice, the expressions on the faces of these three people became even more terrified, and they trembled all over.

Finally, someone said, "Brother Li, we heard you in the bedroom."

Even Li Pu, who read the script every day, couldn't understand this way of expression at once. He showed some doubts in his eyes, which looked even darker because of the backlight. "I'm in the bedroom?"

In the eyes of the three people, this look was as if he wanted to murder someone and silence them!

The three housekeepers who had watched Li Pho's restricted horror movie were in tears. The bravest one pointed to the bedroom and said again, "It sounds exactly like yours! Inside!"

The speech has become incoherent.

Li Pu looked in the direction of the man's finger and understood everything in an instant.

At this moment, a voice came from inside: "If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police."

Li Pu smiled, walked to the door under everyone's gaze, and gently pushed it open. A big white ball immediately complained in dissatisfaction, but it was unclear what it was saying.

Maybe it was hit by the door he pushed open? Its claws scratched on the floor, making a messy sound, and then retreated further away.

Bai Gaoxing didn't expect someone to suddenly push the door. After pretending to be Li Pu and threatening to call the police, he was hit on the nose.

Who is it!!!?

Bai Gaoxing raised his head in anger, and immediately got angry when he saw Li Pu's face.

What I just said should not have been heard, right? He thought dryly.

"Dabai."

The young man's voice was as elegant as a violin, and his tone was smoother than the one he had just imitated. It was clearly an audiovisual enjoyment, but Bai Gaoxing felt for no reason that his death was approaching.

"...This is my parrot, Dabai."

After serving each of the three people a cup of tea to calm their surprise, Le Pho introduced them to the big parrot standing on his shoulder.

The three of them took the tea in a flattered manner. One of them murmured to himself, "I thought I'd see a bird cage when I walked in. Why don't I see any birds?"

The golden cage attached to the living room wall is very eye-catching, and the fallen nut shells and millet husks inside indicate that living creatures were once kept there.

The three domestic workers signed a one-year contract with Lai Pho. In the first few months, they had only seen the fish in the aquarium, and this was the first time they saw a bird cage. After finding no traces or sounds of the bird in the house, they thought that the poor bird had been... killed by Mr. Lai.

Bai Gaoxing also looked at the three people with changing expressions and the uniforms they were wearing that all had "Little Bee Housekeeping" written on them. He finally understood why Li Pu was rarely seen cleaning.

After a while, someone broke the awkward silence and asked with a smile: "What kind of parrot do you have? It's so big and so beautiful."

This is not a compliment. The parrot on the man's shoulder has white and smooth feathers, a pair of big round eyes as bright as black pearls, and a fluffy crest and round body. It is very cute and likable.

As soon as these words came out, the other two also looked carefully at the mass on Li Pu's shoulder and showed expressions of approval.

Li Pu's frown relaxed slightly, and he raised his hand to smooth the hair on Bai Gaoxing's head. "Pu Tong Parrot, this color is quite rare."

Bai Gaoxing shook his fur and said politely, "Hello~" and received a lot of surprised looks.

Although what is being praised is beauty rather than handsomeness, it's almost the same when rounded off.

Bai Gaoxing had also seen pictures of Zongqi's parakeets in Li Pho's breeding manual. Most parakeets have bright colors, like tree leaves intertwined between spring and autumn. His is considered albino.

And it has black eyes, which are more expensive than red eyes.

Bai Gaoxing sighed that he was still worth his money, and then he came to his senses to see Li Pu putting the shackles on his claws, saying hello to the three people and leading him out.

This was the first time that Li Pu took the initiative to take him out.

Bai Gaoxing couldn't help but look back. The high-rise building was shrouded in warm sunlight in the morning, and he could see the floor-to-ceiling windows of his home at a glance.

He recalled the last time he secretly followed Li Pho down - and of course the other party's ugly face. He thought at that time that Li Pho was going to lock him up at home for the rest of his life.

"Going to the supermarket? Going to the park? The weather is nice! Let's go out and play!!"

Bai Gaoxing flapped his wings to stretch his muscles, and the loud voice unique to a parrot echoed in the air, breaking the tranquility of the morning.

The victim closest to the victim closed his eyes and even raised his hands to press his ears.

"Baymax. Quiet."

I was wrong.

Bai Gaoxing didn't expect his voice to be so powerful. Feeling that he was disturbing others, he was so frightened that he even stopped flapping his wings and pretended nothing happened.

Li Pho continued to walk forward.

Bai Gaoxing looked around and found that there was nothing interesting on the left side, only community green space. So he stretched out his legs and tried to climb from Li Pu's left shoulder to his right shoulder, intending to take a look at the park facilities on the right. However, he felt his paw being pulled after taking only two steps, and his foot slipped and he almost fell to his knees.

Looking down, the silver chain was dazzling.

"Dabai, don't move." Li Pu also felt the movement on his shoulder and protected it slightly with his hand.

Oh, by the way, he is now a canary.

Bai Gaoxing joked to himself with great amusement, then adjusted his posture and continued to squat on Li Pu's left shoulder. %

Unexpectedly, Li Pu did not go to the corner of the park as last time, but took him all the way to the underground garage.

I can only say that it is worthy of being a high-end residential area. At a glance, it is filled with luxury cars, with all the license plates in order.

Bai Gaoxing watched excitedly as Li Pu approached a low-key and elegant domestically-made black sedan, opened the door, got in, and turned on the windows and overhead lights.

Should we go to the supermarket or the mall? But those don’t seem to allow pets… Actually, it’s also good to go to the market! Although Li Pho doesn’t look like the kind of person who would go to the market, it’s not impossible for him to be down-to-earth, right?

However, Bai Gaoxing still thought too highly of himself.

Li Pu put him in the passenger seat, and then the man took out his cell phone to send a message without taking any further action.

What is this? What is this?

Bai Gaoxing couldn't bear it any longer, he grasped the hand brake with one claw, stared at Li Pu with a sharp gaze, "Go - out - play -"

Then, under the man's puzzled gaze, she fiercely muttered: "Go out and play! Go out and play! I want to go out and play!"

He was going to be crazy! "Don't you want to go out and play?"

I don’t have a computer or a cell phone, and I can’t go out. “I really want to go out and play!”

The somewhat dull sound of machinery echoed faintly in the underground garage. The voice of the parrot itself was more like that of a child. If it were accompanied by some weird background music, it could have been a horror movie.

Just as Li Pu was about to speak, he saw a young girl passing by. The girl seemed to be paying special attention to him and kept looking at him.

Is it a fan? Li Pu guessed and rolled down the car window completely. But he didn't expect that after seeing him, the other party's eyes trembled and ran away screaming in fear: "There is a ghost——!!!"

Is there a ghost here? Bai Gaoxing was startled and looked around hurriedly.

"Dabai, stop making trouble." Li Pu patted Bai Gaoxing's head lightly, his voice full of helplessness.

It can be seen that the girl heard Dabai's voice, but was frightened when she found that he was alone.

Bai Gaoxing quickly figured out the reason. He opened his mouth, muttered a few words, and then calmed down again.

Li Pho is still typing.

Under the warm light, the man lowered his eyes and tapped on it with his slender fingers. I wonder who he was chatting with so enthusiastically.

Soon, the other party sent a video invitation.

"Hello~ Long time no see." A familiar voice came from the phone. Bai Gaoxing recalled who it was after a few seconds.

Wang Peter, Li Pho’s childhood friend, was the one who brought him here.

The figure of a blond young man appeared on the other side of the video, dressed very flashily. After chatting with Li Pu for a few words, he turned the topic to him, "Where's Dabai? Did you leave him at home?"

Li Pu turned his phone towards this side, and Bai Gaoxing saw his own naive face appear on the screen.

He approached cautiously and heard Wang Peter's laughter again: "Dabai, are you doing well? This guy actually brought you with him!"

Bai Gaoxing thought about the melon seeds he had eaten, the delicacies he had to fight to get his hands on; he also thought about the warm sofa and the fun sweeping robot, and said, "Not bad."

There was silence across from him.

When Bai Gaoxing heard something wrong, he immediately played dumb and said, "Okay, okay! Good morning! Happy New Year! Hello!"

Wang Peter was so shocked that he swore, "Fuck! You actually taught Dabai to speak so many words?"

Li Pho replied: "I didn't teach it, it learned it on its own."

Wang Peter's eyes were full of surprise. "Smart... Dabai, come here, hello? Can you speak?"

If he didn't know how to say this, he would be doing a disservice to his profession and the countries he had been to. Bai Gaoxing showed a cold look and said in a standard British accent: "Hello."

Wang Peter held it in for a long time and said:

Hanging. "

Li Piao raised an eyebrow.

Wang Peter immediately covered his mouth and said, "Dabai, don't learn this." Then he looked at Bai Gaoxing in fear.

Bai Gaoxing was very polite: "Thank you." Of course he would.

Later, Bai Gaoxing listened to the two people's casual conversation and learned that Wang Peter was now a photographer. During this period, he had been exploring this industry in China. The works he brought back from abroad also made him a little famous, and he took over some magazine shooting.

"This time I must be self-reliant! I can't let my family help me." The blond young man vowed.

"I wish you success." Li Pu said meaningfully, "If they don't know you're back."

Wang Peter had a bitter face, "So this time I came back and changed my name and surname, and brought new works."

Bai Gaoxing almost understood what he said. The other party was just a rich second-generation who wanted to get rid of the excessive control at home and wanted to break out with his own strength.

Very thoughtful.

Bai Gaoxing stopped listening and focused on looking at his own face in the camera.

I didn't have much chance to observe myself when I was at Li Pu's house. The bathroom with a mirror was closed and I couldn't enter. The reflective areas looked blurry. I have to say that the small eyes of ordinary parrots look sharp, but his big eyes look very cute. In addition, he is big, a ball of white fluff, and there is a tuft of gray hair on his head that is different from others. He looks like a plush toy.

The beak is gray and the claws are also gray. Although the color scheme is simple, it is very harmonious.

Just when Bai Gaoxing was looking at himself with satisfaction, Wang Peter's attention was drawn away by him without him knowing when.

"Why……"

The blond man stroked his chin and said, "I find the big white lens to be quite good."

He seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes lit up, "How about lending it to me for a while?"
