Chapter 15

As soon as the words came out, both the man and the bird in the car were stunned.

Wang Peter was even more delighted when he saw their reactions. "You two are so in sync. Is this what pets follow their owners?"

Then he asked, “Is it okay?”

"What do you want to do with Dabai?" Li Pu did not respond first, but asked back.

"Just - shoot a magazine." Peter Wang said, "The sponsors are a few gem industry companies. Recently, they have come up with a new idea. They want to combine their works with animals. Everyone loves furry things. Do you think it's reliable?"

Li Pu did not comment.

Bai Gaoxing's mind flashed with the image of himself wearing gold and jade and holding a large gem. It looked quite impressive.

Wang Peter looked at him with a smile, "Dabai, if you want, just call me. You have the final say. The money you earn can buy you a lot of snacks."

Bai Gaoxing nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"

The money is not important, the main thing is to be able to go out. Let alone taking pictures, even if I say I take him to take an exam now, he would be willing!

After agreeing here, he looked at Li Pho again, trying to convey his sincerity with his eyes.

Fortunately, Li Pho did not object, but only asked: "When?"

"It's hard to say." Wang Peter said, "But I have to make it with you first. Who knows if they will suddenly advance or postpone it? You never know if they will change their minds halfway."

Li Pho only answered with one word: "OK."

So cool.

Bai Gaoxing was also feeling sad today because he couldn't chat with anyone.

After chatting with Wang Peter, Bai Gaoxing looked at his phone screen with longing and disappointment until it turned black again, and then Li Pu took him past the community park.

It was the same position as last time, and this time the old man came down with a bird cage. Of course, it wasn't because he had good eyesight, but the spitting sound of the starling was like noise pollution, which deeply penetrated into his brain.

Bai Gaoxing shook his head, not understanding where this starling got so much resentment from. He woke up almost every day... yes, every day, every morning, to the beautiful scolding of the other side.

All the old and new hatreds that hadn't woken up naturally burst out at the same time. Bai Gaoxing endured it again and again, and finally when he was closest to it, he shouted in bird language: "Shut up!"

Li Pho was once again attacked by a loud voice.

The man took a deep breath, but unfortunately he couldn't understand what Bai Gaoxing said. He only knew that the usually well-behaved and quiet Dabai suddenly started to yell. Maybe he was excited to meet someone of the same kind? He guessed.

So, after leaving the cover of the trees, Li Pho took a deliberate look inside, and happened to meet the eyes of the old man who was looking outside.

"Hey, it's you, young man."

When Bai Gaoxing came to his senses, Li Pu had already taken him to sit on another horse that the old man had brought down.

"The weather was really bad the past two days. My arms and legs were aching..."

"It's been raining a lot lately. What are you doing..."

"Old problem..."

Bai Gaoxing had no interest in listening to the two people's conversation. His eyes were full of the black starling in the mahogany cage, just as the starling's eyes were full of him.

The black and white stared at each other for a while, and finally Bai Gaoxing couldn't stand the embarrassment anymore and wanted to break the silence.

"Fuck, what the hell are you doing out there?" However, it was the starling who spoke first.

This is what I'm afraid of.

Bai Gaoxing felt like a pound sign was about to appear on his forehead. He cried out, "Are you jealous? Lululu!"

Not only that, he spread his wings and walked around on Li Pu's shoulders, "I can still walk, I can still jump, I can still jump!"

The starling was indeed angry.

It was so angry that its black feathers stood up like thorns. "What are you bragging about, you bastard? Labor will kill you! I'm a *****!"

The starling was like a lit firecracker, stabbing and biting with its creamy yellow beak and kicking the top of the cage with its claws. In the eyes of the two people, it was jumping up and down in the cage with a frightened look.

The old man immediately stopped chatting and hugged the cage distressedly, "Xiao darling, what's wrong with you?"

The starling was so angry that he was breathing heavily.

Bai Gaoxing was horrified.

This person's temper is probably even worse than that of a sparrow. Won't he be so angry that he will die?

Li Pu also looked at Bai Gaoxing thoughtfully, "Could it be that Dabai was frightened?"

Compared to the less than 30 cm long starling, the large white parrot is nearly 40 cm with its tail feathers. The size difference is very obvious. In addition, birds are relatively timid, so it is normal for them to be frightened.

The old man was so distressed that he raised his hand to cover the cage with the cloth.

Bai Gaoxing felt a little regretful. He had finally found someone to talk to and wanted to chat more, but now it was gone?

Unexpectedly, the moment the old man raised his hand, the starling immediately stood on the round platform in the center of the cage and obediently recited the Eight Honors and Eight Shames.

Bai Gaoxing: ???

Li Piao also looked confused. Why did he suddenly start talking?

The old man smiled amiably and patted the cage gently, "Okay, okay, then have fun."

He turned around and explained, "When my little dog doesn't want to go home, he recites poems and talks. He loves playing outside. Is your little dog the same? He sticks to you every day because he wants to go out and play."

Li Pu was about to say no, Dabai was very well behaved and quiet at home, but he suddenly remembered the mumbling he heard in the underground garage.

After a long while, he managed to utter: "...That's it."

My dear!

Bai Gaoxing wanted to hold the old man's hand and thank him. He kept saying that he had been out playing for a long time, but Li Puguang thought he was just parroting him and never considered his feelings.

I don't know if he will have a change of heart this time.

Bai Gaoxing glanced at Li Pu subconsciously and actually saw his thoughtful expression.

After a while, the old man hung the cage under the shade of a tree, then took out a thick branch from the green belt next to it and placed it next to the cage.

"Hang your little white one up there to play with, they love it."

Li Pu was silent for a moment, then tried to raise his hand to see what his pet wanted.

Of course Bai Gaoxing went up.

He didn't care how Li Pu was caught by the old man to chat afterwards. The focus now was on this mynah bird——

Bai Gaoxing stared at the bird that was pitch black with a blue metallic sheen, and he was so mad at her that he swore again.

"you***--"

"Do you still want to be covered up?" Bai Gaoxing sneered, "I'm outside, I can definitely cover you up. Just think about it, you will soon no longer be able to see the sun, the leaves... anyway, you won't be able to see anything!"

The mynah bird was so frightened by Bai Gaoxing's shamelessness that its breath got stuck in its throat and it could only utter a "chirp" sound.

"Okay, kiss~" Bai Gaoxing said shamelessly.

The myna took a few deep breaths and said coldly, "What on earth do you want to do?"

He's a cool guy with a slightly smoky voice.

Bai Gaoxing smiled kindly again, "I'm new here, I just want to ask you something."

The mynah bird's yellow eyes showed confusion: "Classmate? What is it?"

Bai Gaoxing: "Oh, I'm used to it. Don't worry about the details."

After a pause, he asked, "Where is this place?" After living here for so long, to be honest, he didn't even know the name of the neighborhood.

Sure enough, the starling showed a look of contempt, "You don't even know this? Are you a jerk?"

Bai Gaoxing sneered: "What do you say?"

Myna: "Huantong Garden."

Bai Gaoxing: "Hmm...a little further out? Which street? Are there any important buildings around?"

Myna was speechless: "How would I know? I've lived here since I was a child. On the left, there is a hospital, a shopping mall, and a subway station. On the right... why are you asking this?"

The black bird was startled and asked in disbelief, "Are you trying to run away?"

Bai Gaoxing was drawing a route in his mind and hummed casually, "What's wrong?"

Mynah bird clicked his tongue and said, "If you want to run away, I advise you not to do such a stupid thing."

Bai Gaoxing was really interested in it. "What will happen?"

The starling's fur stood up. "You were caught by a **cat, your brain was eaten by a **shrike, and there were **kids who broke your wings and filled your stomach with sour water. This is fucking awful!"

You are the one who brings up four idiots with just one sentence.

Bai Gaoxing suddenly felt that the mynah bird was also quite difficult. He probably saw all these things when he was hanging outside.

But since it knew nothing, there was nothing else to ask. Bai Gaoxing yawned lazily and started chatting about daily life.

"What do you usually do at home?"

"Eat, drink water, sleep, scold stupid magpies, and say congratulations and prosperity."

"What do you eat?"

"It's a lot of random things. But I like to eat bugs."

"What about boring words?"

"Bored? Why would I be bored?"

"Because..." Bai Gaoxing tried to make it understand, "You hang out outside all day, and there's only one person at home. No one cares about you. How do you kill time?"

Yes, that is his most important question! He wants to know how other pet birds make life interesting? How can they avoid living a miserable life?

However, this time the myna tilted its head, not understanding why: "Why would I be bored when I have someone to keep me company at home?"

"Huh?" Bai Gaoxing didn't understand for a moment.

The mynah bird said quickly: "Having only one master is enough for us, right? We only live for a few years, and being with him every day won't be boring."

It didn't swear this time. "Just stay with the old man until I die."

Bai Gaoxing widened his eyes.

To be honest, he was a little moved.

He couldn't help but reflect on whether he didn't care enough about Li Piao.

Bai Gaoxing looked at the man below through the leaves. There was a hint of a smile on his usually indifferent face. The sunlight added a bright warmth to him, making that handsome face even more attractive.

So, after Le Pho said goodbye to the old man and went home, Bai Gaoxing had been struggling for a long time between "I am a human being and cannot think like a pet" and "I am now a pet and should fulfill my obligations." Finally, after Le Pho finished beating the drums on the balcony, Bai Gaoxing

Then she made up her mind, jumped in front of him and said:

"Would you like to hear a joke?"

At the same time, Li Pho also said: "Dabai, do you want to go out and play?"

Bai Gaoxing silently looked at the carefully constructed scaffolding on the balcony and the bright sunlight that shone in, bright enough to blind people, and shrank back into the shadows.

…No, thank you.

He was afraid of being sunburned to death.
