Chapter 2
On the first day of becoming a parrot, Bai Gaoxing successfully turned into a soaked parrot.
While struggling in the water, Bai Gaoxing almost thought he was going to drown when he traveled back. Fortunately, the man pulled him out of the water, thus avoiding the tragedy of dying at the very beginning.
By the way, I drank enough water.
Bai Gaoxing sneezed, looked down at the reflection of the wolf on the glass tea table, and felt like laughing.
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.
The feathers became cold and heavy after being soaked in water. They felt like they weighed several kilograms when put on my body. I didn't know where Li Pu, who was here just now, had gone. I was completely isolated and helpless.
It seems that we can only save ourselves.
Bai Gaoxing had already noticed the tissue paper on the coffee table. Although it was unopened, such a soft thing could not withstand the chewing of a parrot.
In particular, he is definitely not a small parrot like Budgie.
He had discovered this when the man had taken him out of the fish tank just now and couldn't lift him with one hand. Unfortunately, there was no mirror, so he could only roughly see his outline from the reflection in the glass.
Large parrots are capable of biting off human fingers.
Bai Gaoxing smacked his lips and put one paw on the tissue paper. He first lowered his head and hooked the open end with the tip of his mouth. Then he twisted his neck and pulled it, and the tissue paper packaging was torn open like crispy skin.
There was a full pack of tissue paper. He grabbed a piece based on his feel, pulled it upwards with force, and pulled out a large lump in one go.
...So embarrassing.
Bai Gaoxing carefully opened his mouth, picked one out, and tried to use his claws to wipe his own feathers.
But reality is crueler than ideal.
It was his first time and he was not used to using it as a bird's claw. After trying for a while, Bai Gaoxing found that he could not reach his back at all. More water slid down along the tail hair, soaking the paper that had just been piled aside, and it became a big lump.
"Gah..." Bai Gaoxing's brain froze for a while.
Whatever, let's go all the way. He simply pulled out a pile of tissue paper, spread it out, lay down in the pile and started rolling around.
When Li Pu came out with the hair dryer and a small blanket, he saw a big white parrot buried in a pile of paper, wrapped in a pile of half-dry and scattered tissues.
He was silent for a while, and finally walked over with the things.
He rarely used these two things because they were put away by the housekeeper. But when he was away for a while, the parrot ruined the tea table.
It looks like this parrot is...very sick?
Li Pu felt compassion again. He quite liked small animals, but due to the irregular nature of his work, he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of them, so he only raised fish.
Now it seems that having this little guy is not bad.
Li Pu picked up the large piece of paper and lifted up Dabai's head as he was struggling with the paper.
...For some reason, he seemed to see gratitude on the face of a parrot.
"Come and dry yourself." Li Pu said, holding up a blanket and a hair dryer.
Okay.
Bai Gaoxing rolled over on the spot, stood up from the tea table and walked towards the man.
Li Pu was stunned for a moment. He just said that and was ready to catch the birds and chickens. However, he didn't expect that this big parrot was so smart and seemed to understand human language.
If you think about it carefully, the "help" it cried when it fell into the fish tank was very timely.
...It must be a coincidence.
Li Pu looked at the parrot in front of him, which had only called once since he entered the door, and guessed that this was the silence caused by being abandoned by its owner, and it would not be easy for it to let down its guard.
Thinking of this, he gently wrapped it in a blanket and held it on his lap.
Soon, the surroundings became warm. Bai Gaoxing squinted his eyes and began to enjoy the actor's service.
The man still had no expression, but his actions were extremely considerate. His warm fingers passed through the wet feathers on his head and brushed his ear holes. He could not resist the instinct of this body and let out a shy but comfortable hum.
I have to say, when he was stroking the bird himself before, he just thought it was cute when he saw the little bird squinting its eyes and tilting its head comfortably. Now that he has become a bird and is experiencing it himself, he finally understands it.
It's really impossible to refuse.
Bai Gaoxing couldn't help rubbing Li Pu's hand and enjoyed the pleasure of being a pet bird.
After wiping for a while, Bai Gaoxing saw the other person picking up the hair dryer again. He felt that this person had never raised birds. The hair dryer made such a loud noise, wasn't he afraid of giving him stress?
Fortunately, he is not a real parrot.
Bai Gaoxing was prepared for the noise, but when he turned on the switch, soft warm air blew in his face, which was a far cry from the loud noise in the university bathroom.
Sorry to bother you, he forgot that this man is rich.
Bai Gaoxing raised his head, looked at the hair dryer that looked expensive, and the countless fancy watches on the man's wrist, and sighed.
The sound was so clear that even Li Phou, who was holding a hair dryer, could hear it.
Li Pho felt helpless and amused. Could it be that this parrot also knew what it meant to be worried?
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"No problem." Bai Gaoxing responded politely.
Li Piao: “……?”
Bai Gaoxing: “…”
Shit! Did he say that accidentally!?
Bai Gaoxing quickly pretended that he knew nothing and coughed a few times.
Sure enough, his ability to speak was not affected by being transformed into a parrot, but his voice became a little mechanical and dull, like a Little Boy brand radio.
Bai Gaoxing felt sad about his own passing voice, and then coughed for a while as if he was joking. He was relieved when he saw that Li Pu was no longer looking at him.
Fortunately, he is now a parrot, and parrots can imitate others, so it is not so easy to arouse suspicion. Besides, what if he wears it back in a few days and leaves a mess for the original body? The original body is really sick.
The main reason is... he is afraid of being sliced.
Bai Gaoxing thought quietly for a while and decided not to expose his language ability, which was too abnormal for others, for the time being.
However, it's a bit stressful for him to keep it to himself, and there's no guarantee that he won't be able to hold it back one day.
"Buzz--" Just as Bai Gaoxing was struggling with how to behave next, the sudden vibration of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts. Li Pu opened it and found it was a voice message from Wang Peter.
[Oh, I forgot to mention that parrots are very stubborn and can't hold it in for long. Be careful, sofa.]
[The tiger skin is only as thin as a green bean, Dabai, you can only wish you good luck. ]
[I suggest you buy an apron and wear it every day, hahahahahahahahaha…]
Bai Gaoxing's eyelids twitched when he heard this. He turned around and saw Li Pu looking at him with deep eyes. It seemed that he was seriously considering his friend's words.
After all, he lifted the blanket and took a look.
Bai Gaoxing wanted to fly to the bathroom immediately to prove that not only did he not urinate or defecate anywhere, he could also use a flush toilet!
Of course, the premise is that he can press it.
Bai Gaoxing watched Li Pu type a paragraph of text and send it back, then continued to use the hair dryer and suppressed the thought of proving himself.
The water on his body was soon blown away. Bai Gaoxing pecked at his feathers, which were about 70% dry, and planned to inspect the room. Just as he was about to move, he heard a ring.
Not a cell phone.
Bai Gaoxing looked around, and it was not until Li Pu stood up and walked to the door that he realized the sound came from the video doorbell.
Someone is coming.
A figure appeared on the screen at the door: a calm, neatly dressed young man.
But he seemed a little nervous, with some sweat on his forehead.
"Big tree."
"Brother Li, I bought you what you wanted."
"Excuse me." Li Pu opened the door, thanked him, and was about to take the things in his hand.
"No, no, I'll take it to the kitchen for you." The young man dodged Li Pu's hand and walked directly to the room on the left. He looked very familiar with the place, as if he had been here many times.
Bai Gaoxing tilted his head, curious about who this person was.
Not long after, the other person came out of the kitchen, looked up, and met his eyes.
"Oh my god!" The young man screamed and took a few steps back: "Brother Li! What is that thing on your sofa?!"
Ten minutes later, the young man sat down opposite Li Pho in a reserved manner, picked up the water cup with trembling hands, and took a sip.
Through the conversation between the two, Bai Gaoxing learned that the young man's name was Mei Youshu, who was about the same age as Li Pu and was Li Pu's assistant.
Mei Youshu was familiar with Li Pho's filming habits and often helped Li Pho buy daily necessities during his vacations. This time he came to deliver food - if Wang Peter hadn't delivered the parrot today, Li Pho would have wanted to go out by himself.
Bai Gaoxing sorted out his feathers out of boredom, and formed a general impression of the young man as a "reliable" person.
But... he seems to be very afraid of him?
"Brother Li, why, why did you suddenly think of raising this?" Not only his expression, but even his voice was nervous.
“A friend gave it to me.”
Li Pu also noticed the assistant's mood, "What's wrong with you?"
The young man wanted to cry but had no tears: "I am most afraid of chickens."
chick?
Li Pu was stunned for a moment and looked at Dabai on the sofa.
The big white parrot was covered by a blanket, with half of its butt exposed.
Li Pu coughed softly, hiding his smile, and explained seriously: "This is a parrot. A friend gave it to me today."
"Parrot?" Mei Youshu shuddered a little. "Can a parrot... be this big?"
"It's a large parrot." Li Pu said, lifting the blanket covering Bai Gaoxing, and the beautiful big parrot appeared in the sight of the two.
Mei Youshu took a quick glance and shuddered, "I'm also afraid of this kind of bird with a sharp beak."
Bai Gaoxing was confused. He never thought that the first time he was frightened was because he was a bird.
A parrot always looks more aggressive than it actually is, right?
Li Pu pondered, what should he do if his assistant is afraid of his pet?
He asked, "Have you brought all the things?"
"Here I am." Mei Youshu responded with a conditioned reaction, and took out a thick folder and a laptop bag professionally, "This is the script for the next play. The electronic version is in the computer."
After that, he continued to ask: "Brother Li, what are your plans for this vacation?"
"Just like before, take a break first." Li Pu didn't even flip through the folder, but put it directly on the coffee table. "Did they ask you to deliver a message again?"
Mei Youshu coughed and said, "The company hopes that you, Brother Li, will be more active on the platform. Even if you are taking a break, you can post some daily photos to solidify your fan base."
Li Pu nodded: "I will consider it."
Mei Youshu sighed inwardly. This answer was still the same as before, meaning that he would not consider it.
Brother Li is good in every way except that he is too honest. He really fades out of sight when he is on vacation. Others are scrambling to show up, but he... well, never mind. With the stickiness of his fans, he doesn't need to worry.
"Okay." Mei Youshu comforted himself, then turned around and saw Bai Gaoxing again, his heart trembling uncontrollably.
Staring at him hungrily!
So scary!
Mei Youshu immediately became restless, gripping his knees with his hands until they turned pale, and wanted only to run away, but he still tried to speak in a calm voice, "Brother Li, it's almost noon, shall I go cook you some dishes?"
“No, I
Just do it yourself." Li Pho declined his kindness.
"Then I'll leave first if everything is alright!" As soon as the words fell, Mei Youshu stood up as if he had been liberated, said goodbye, and closed the door without wasting even a second.
Is it that scary?
Bai Gaoxing stared at the door that had closed again in amazement, wondering what he looked like now.
He looked at Li Pu again and found that the man had rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen, starting to wash vegetables skillfully.
Soon, the sound of cooking came from the kitchen.
Looks like I'll have a treat in the future? Bai Gaoxing's attention was quickly diverted, and he squatted expectantly waiting for the meal to be served. I didn't expect that the movie star was a good cook. I thought I had to eat takeout every day.
However, he was too happy too early. Half an hour later, Li Pho placed a bowl in front of him.
"Eat it."
Inside was bird food of strange shapes and tastes.
Bai Gaoxing: “…”
I refuse!!!
