Chapter 23
(Update 1)
This is a live broadcast equipment.
If Bai Gaoxing was not quite sure when he saw the fill lights, he was about 80% sure when he locked his eyes on the microphone on the table.
——It is possible that the movie star’s home has a temporary studio, but if there is a microphone, it is impossible that he has set up a karaoke machine at home to sing karaoke, right?
Bai Gaoxing suppressed his excitement and examined them carefully again. These things looked like a complete set, with the same color scheme and brand name. They might even be endorsed by Li Pu himself. I just don't know what the quality is.
How about he try it himself?
The big white parrot had a faint light in its eyes. It then walked gracefully to the table and slowly and carefully grasped the handle of the microphone with its claws.
In an instant, the cool touch spread along the claws to Bai Gaoxing's entire body, making his head numb.
This delicate surface, the technological texture, the cool metal... wow!
The feather crest on Bai Gaoxing's head suddenly opened up like a cluster of spreading leaves, revealing his happiness.
After a long pause, Bai Gaoxing went to plug the plug around the lamp into the socket, turned on the power, and turned on the light. Without flexible and strong hands, these actions alone took him a lot of effort. He could only be thankful that the facilities in this study were extremely complete, except for the power supply. If the computer was not assembled or the lamp had no bulb, he would really be helpless.
After turning on the light, Bai Gaoxing moved forward step by step, poked the start button with the tip of his mouth, and the computer screen lit up instantly, defeating 99.99% of the computers in the country.
As expected of an award-winning film, the quality is top-notch.
But I didn't go any further, and the computer just got stuck on the login page.
Against the dark blue background, the cursor was flashing briskly in a rectangular white bar as wide as a finger.
There is a password.
This is to be expected... No wonder. Bai Gaoxing didn't understand why Li Pu's personal notebook didn't have a password, but why did this live broadcast computer, which was obviously not used for many years, have a password?
Is this intentional?
Bai Gaoxing suddenly felt a little depressed.
The happy mood of finding fun just now turned into depression in an instant. He seemed to see the Internet waving at him, telling him not to think about it for the rest of his life.
But do we really have to give up?
Bai Gaoxing raised his eyelids, looked at the keyboard light, and pressed NUM LOCK.
So far, he has only obtained Li Pho's mobile phone password. He might as well try it out. What if Li Pho is a person who likes to have the same password for all passwords?
0211 was typed in one by one, and Bai Gaoxing stared at the computer screen in a daze. His heartbeat kept speeding up, and his mind went blank. Good! It went in! I guessed it right!
The default computer screen is nothing to look at, the only thing that's striking is the clutter of software on the desktop.
It is not very objective to say that it is a mess. Apart from the plug-ins, the rest are various computer-based live broadcast software.
It's really comprehensive, Li Pho.
Bai Gaoxing immediately saw the live broadcast platform that he had seen on Li Pu’s mobile phone, Xinghuo, which was the first one in the upper left corner.
The software icons below are more vivid, orange, cyan, purple... Bai Gaoxing moves the mouse randomly.
Click on one, the software has remembered the password and can log in automatically.
Bai Gaoxing clicked on the platform named "Xinghuo" again, and sure enough, it was the account in Li Pu's mobile phone, showing 35 million fans.
Change to the second one, showing 20 million fans.
Change to the third one, showing 12 million fans.
Bai Gaoxing raised his eyebrows - although he couldn't do this action, he could easily imagine it.
So, are these live streaming software ranked by the number of fans?
Bai Gaoxing directly clicked on the last software called "Firefly Live", which showed that it was created a week ago and had 10 fans.
Take a look at the fans, five strange machine accounts, and five people who are hard to tell whether they are fans or not.
Even now, Bai Gaoxing still retained his remaining rationality and did not get high. He thought about registering an account himself - but there was no way. He could not get a mobile phone number, verification SMS, or ID card.
But now, he can use this new account!
Bai Gaoxing could no longer hold back and directly entered the account backend of this default ID and began to modify the basic information.
Name——Dabai.
Gender: Male.
Birthday—February 11th.
Home address—it doesn’t matter, just write one randomly, like “The Movie King’s Home”, no one will believe it anyway.
After filling out this set, Bai Gaoxing was already a little tired, but his high spirits drove him to the next step: changing his profile picture.
The profile picture was not a problem at all. He just needed to turn on the camera, find a good lighting angle, a good background, and choose a ten-second delay before posing.
Bai Gaoxing looked at the new avatar on the account with satisfaction: a big white parrot staring at the camera with sharp eyes, looking extremely handsome, with dark bookshelves and books behind him, which perfectly set off his snow-white complexion.
The next step is to open a live broadcast room.
Bai Gaoxing is not completely unfamiliar with live streaming.
Not to mention that there are two part-time anchors in his dormitory who earn their living expenses, one is a game live broadcaster, and the other is a cross-dressing anchor. The game master and the cross-dressing master make his short college life very rich; occasionally, he will be invited to appear on camera.
The most important thing is that he has also done some very amateur live broadcasts.
I remember that it was during the time when he was preparing to compete abroad in high school. His teacher gave him this assignment to practice giving foreign language speeches and real-time translation in front of the public. He didn't want to go to the park or supermarket and talk nonsense like other people did - he heard that a senior in the previous year was arrested and educated for this, so he chose to communicate briefly and effectively on the Internet with a group of strangers.
That trip was not completely fruitless. He helped several children check their summer English homework, and also guided several college students in their translation homework in the same major - which was a limited-time lottery.
If the purpose of doing live streaming back then was to learn, this time it was purely to kill time.
Just to relieve boredom, that's all.
Bai Gaoxing created a live broadcast room, hesitated for a long time on the name of the room, and typed six words: Buddhist Parrot Daily Life.
The reason why he is called "Buddha-like" is because he is really a Buddha; the reason why he is called "parrot" is because of his current identity; the reason why he is called "daily" is because he is really just live streaming his daily life, such as daydreaming for two hours, if anyone is watching.
Will anyone really watch it?
Bai Gaoxing was inexplicably a little uneasy. He operated this device mainly to communicate with people online, using the half-truth effect of the network - who would believe that a parrot could communicate fluently online? It was nothing more than its owner's fake dubbing for hype - any normal person would think so.
Then he could talk to his audience as he pleased.
So...should we make the live broadcast room more interesting?
With a learning attitude, Bai Gaoxing returned to the homepage to watch other people's live broadcasts in progress.
There is no shortage of games and cute pets on any platform. He randomly clicked on a cover with a hamster, and heard a voice from inside: "It's 20% off now! Friends, 20% off, buy one and get a cage for free, buy two and get a discount. You can choose in the live broadcast room, tell me when you're done, and I'll ship it out as soon as it's in stock!"
Bai Gaoxing: “…”
Let’s change it, this time it’s for raising fish.
"Everyone wants to know how I keep this butterfly carp so well? It's very simple. I just need to change the water and the fish frequently." The middle-aged man with glasses and an elegant temperament said with a smile.
He was dressed casually, wearing big pants and flip-flops, and he looked like an experienced fish farmer. "We fish farmers have a motto, 'one, three, five, seven'. It means feeding the fish once a day, changing the water every three days, cleaning the tank every five days, and changing the fish every seven days. Hey, 'where did the last butterfly carp go?' Haha, my wife put it in the refrigerator, it's frozen hard."
Change to another one, this time it’s a crawler.
The young girl with a childish face and wearing a middle school uniform opened a small transparent cube box. Her slender white fingers were trembling a little, and her pretty face was also hiding a little trembling. "Hello everyone, this is a bird-catching spider. Its name is Feifei."
The girl's voice was quiet and gentle, and a little unclear.
This is more reliable. Bai Gaoxing tilted his head. He felt that the little girl looked very scared. Should he still keep a pet if she is afraid of crawling?
The girl held the barley bug tightly with tweezers, closed her eyes to avoid watching the bug transform into a cricket pupa, and tilted her head to throw the bug in.
whoosh!
A huge spider appeared.
There were a bunch of [Ahhhhhhhhh sister, your spider jumped out!] [Help! It’s got into the corner, go catch it! ! ! !] [Haha ...
Bai Gaoxing was silent.
"Ah——!!!" the girl screamed and danced, and the insect box turned over on the table, with insects crawling all over the floor.
It was a disaster scene.
The next second, a hand grabbed the live broadcast phone, the screen went black, and a more mature female voice roared: "What! Do! You! Want! To! Rebel? "
The girl whimpered: "Sister - I just wanted to help you feed Feifei, ahhhh it's there!!!"
"Let go! I'll catch it!" shouted the spider's real owner.
There was a period of chaos and disorder.
Bai Gaoxing exited the live broadcast room.
He began to ponder.
Maybe, perhaps, perhaps, there is no need to be so nervous?
From the fans of Li Pu, we can see that this live broadcast platform is probably not a universal traffic platform.
What's more, he is still a cute parrot now.
Thinking of this, Bai Gaoxing adjusted the volume of the microphone and said "Hello" twice.
The mechanical sound of the shota became even cuter with the addition of the sound card, and the surrounding sound system also caused the table to tremble slightly.
The room is soundproof, so there is no need to worry about the noise being too loud and spreading to the living room; the double-layer windows are closed so as not to disturb others; the lighting is just right, making him look a soft white in the camera, rather than being overexposed like a big light bulb.
very good.
After checking the live broadcast environment for the last time, Bai Gaoxing made a resolute decision and clicked into his own live broadcast room.
(Second update)
It was a quiet weekday, and users of Firefly Live were bored and scrolling through short videos and live broadcast rooms.
Unlike the popular Xinghuo Live, although Yinghuo Live is a branch platform of Xinghuo, its traffic can only be considered "marginal" among the live streaming platforms that are competing for the cake.
This limited amount of traffic is also due to the excessive popularity of Xinghuo. A small number of users found the big platform too boring and diverted to it.
Many live broadcast users are accustomed to the futile efforts of big companies to seize the market, and are too lazy to give Fire Live a look. At most, they download it for the benefit of new members of the platform.
At this time, in a girls’ dormitory of Jiangcheng University, two girls were preparing to take advantage of this good welfare sharing link and leave.
"Wu Qingqing, where did you find the software?" The girl with disheveled hair was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, downloading and chatting.
"It's an ad promoted by Xinghuo. I downloaded it when I saw there was a red envelope." The girl at the table tied her hair into a low ponytail and said softly, "Here's fifty!"
"Is this true?" The one on the bed sat up suddenly and leaned over the fence to look. "Is this a scam?"
"Of course it's true." Low Ponytail also showed the payment record, "I guess it's to attract traffic, but not many people read it."
"Oh~" the girl above drew out the sound and glanced at the download progress bar, "Nowadays, these apps are really fun to play."
As she clicked on the software, she continued, "By the way, have you heard that Li Pu is going to star in a new drama recently?"
"I heard about it... but it's the same as not hearing about it." The girl named Wu Qingqing turned around, her face full of indescribable expression, "The publicity materials were all distributed by his assistant and agent for him, it's obvious at a glance."
"Really? Such a handsome face should be locked in the camera 24 hours a day!" The person on the bed said angrily, "Didn't Xinghuo say that he had signed a contract? Why don't we see him live streaming like other stars?"
"Who knows... He never broadcasts live anyway." Wu Qingqing looked up at the sky. "If one day I see his account active on a live broadcast platform, it must be the sun rising from the west."
The one on the bed swung his legs again, "Oh, by the way, this fire and spark are connected, does Li Pu also have a number on it?"
Wu Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "Probably."
He also said: "But he doesn't even broadcast live on Xinghuo, let alone here, and Xinghuo was only launched last week." After all, he is a star. Why would he give up the exposure on a big platform and secretly broadcast live on a small platform? What is he trying to achieve?
"Indeed...but I found that even though he has never done this kind of thing, there are still quite a few people trying to take advantage of his popularity," Sui Yuan said.
"What do you mean?"
"There's a cute pet live broadcast here. The live broadcast room is called 'Buddhist Parrot Daily Life', and the personal profile address is 'The Movie King's Home'. Hahahaha."
"Hmm? Let me see?" Wu Qingqing reached out her hand and waited for a few seconds before answering the phone.
On the screen, a big white parrot with a cute look and particularly adorable style was holding a small microphone and singing, and it sang quite well.
Looking at the avatar of this account, it is the parrot in the live broadcast, and it is cute with a different style.
Wu Qingqing, who loves cute little animals, was instantly moved by the cuteness. She has also watched many live broadcasts of cute pets, but most of them are performances. Either they are trained, or they are natural, but the author's live broadcast style is boring. There are very few such live broadcasts that do not look like someone is filming and guiding them with voice-overs, but the pets are actually performing by themselves.
Wu Qingqing said she liked it very much and then clicked into the author's backstage.
This look left me stunned.
She is a true fan of Li Pho, and of course she knows about Li Pho’s accounts on various platforms - for example, the numbers in the IDs are specific, and there are special logos...
"Sui Yuan..." Wu Qingqing called out her friend's name in shock.
"What's wrong?"
"I think the sun really rose from the west today."
"……ah?"
"This seems to be Li Pu's account?" Wu Qingqing took her mobile phone and quickly opened Li Pu's account on the Xinghuo platform for comparison. "To be honest, I'm not sure, but I'm also very sure."
Sui Yuan: ???
Finally, with a mixed feeling of confusion and anticipation, a fan of the look and a true fan sat together and started watching the live broadcast of the video, which was indeed about Li Pu's account being suspected of being stolen, but it was impossible that it was stolen, and it might be a new trick played by the company.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen people in the live broadcast room.
"This song is over. I'm going to drink some water. Don't leave." In the camera, the white parrot tilted its head, and the crest on its head trembled, which was very touching.
The comments are all from people who like the cute pet live broadcast, and they are very respectful:
【Ahhhh, what a cute free-range chicken! 】
[What's wrong with a little parrot wanting to drink water? Drink! You can drink anything! ]
【We won't leave~ Drink the water quickly
Come back~ Of course, you can drink water and show me! 】
But some people have a different perspective:
[I just arrived, is this dubbing? ]
[Why doesn't this parrot make jokes when it talks? ? ]
【It is dubbing. 】
[It sounds real to me... the tune is exactly the same as my chicken. ]
Bai Gaoxing looked at the pop-up message in the corner of the computer screen, and felt as happy as if he had eaten a pound of spiced melon seeds.
Just ten minutes ago, he entered the live broadcast room and started his first live broadcast after he stopped being a human.
I originally thought that no one would watch it, but I didn’t expect that there seemed to be something called “newcomer recommendation” on this platform. As long as it is the first live broadcast account, it will be given a small push.
To be honest, he didn't know where to start - if he acted too stupid, it would be difficult to develop the story later; if he acted too well, it would be too conspicuous. After much thought, he decided to sing a song first.
For example, "Clap Your Hands If You Feel Happy" is the first choice of chicken farmers.
Of course, he can also sing high notes and play DJ. With his current voice, he can even attract the security guard at the gate of the community to come home.
At first, the live broadcast room was extremely quiet and Bai Gaoxing felt like he was entertaining himself, but after singing three simple songs in a row whose lyrics he still remembered, the number of people in the live broadcast room became sparse and fixed at a certain number.
In the camera, Bai Gaoxing could see himself casually controlling the microphone with one claw and flapping his wings casually.
The huge microphone was not suitable for holding. In the first few minutes, he tried to stand on it and talk with his head down, but it was too tiring, so he found a mini microphone among a bunch of miscellaneous items.
This is much more appropriate.
During the intermission of the live broadcast, Bai Gaoxing flew to the living room and drank some water to moisten his dry throat, and then flew back without stopping - it was too precious to find someone who could talk to him, and he absolutely could not waste time.
【I’m back! 】
[Where are the people taking the photo? Say something.]
[There was no movement during this blank period just now. Isn't that unprofessional? ]
[No, no, no, I don’t want to see people, I just want to see the cute big parrot! ]
【What kind of species is this? 】
[What is the name of the anchor's pet? ]
【Dabai, it's written above. 】
"Breed," Bai Gaoxing recalled the breeding manual, "It's the Parakeet."
【. 】
【? ? 】
【……】
[It’s so funny, how can there be a owner who teaches a parrot to say its own species? ]
[Is this anchor so cool? ]
Bai Gaoxing said depressedly: "This is my own live broadcast room."
It is understandable that the viewers think that it was the owner of this account who filmed the video, but he also wants to clarify - this is the private account of the parrot Dabai!
Even though no one will believe it.
The bullet screen was shocked, [Is this also taught by the master? ]
[It's definitely dubbing, so fake. ]
[Besides anything else, the cockatoo...is not cheap.]
[It can be seen that the host's home exudes a low-key and luxurious atmosphere~ah~it's the smell of money~]
Bai Gaoxing checked the time, yawned and said, "Let's chat, otherwise it's so boring."
[You are a parrot, what do you know about boredom! 】
[Life, you are all tears. I also want to be a bored parrot. ]
[There are so many things to complain about, I don’t know which one to complain about first. ]
[It's so fake... Aren't you embarrassed, host? ]
[But being able to train a parrot to fully cooperate is amazing. ]
Being thought to be dubbing, Bai Gaoxing felt less psychological pressure and began to let himself go. "It's not dubbing, it's not dubbing. There is no other parrot in the world that can speak better than me."
The bullet screen burst into laughter, and concluded that it was half dubbing and half the parrot's own talking.
After all, a normal person would blush if they said such words.
But this is exactly the effect Bai Gaoxing wanted.
Bai Gaoxing was chatting leisurely with the people on the other side of the computer and found that in just a short while, the number of people in the live broadcast room had increased from a dozen to dozens, and was about to break through three digits.
To be honest, he was a little panicked.
I didn’t expect that being a pet livestreamer was much more efficient than studying. Before, he had been livestreaming for several days and only got to three digits. But the parrot livestreamer, how long has it been…
Well, after all, this body is cute!
Bai Gaoxing felt that he had discovered the highlight.
But Li Pho wouldn't find out, would he? That's what he was afraid of.
It shouldn’t be possible - this is Li Pho’s tiny account with only ten fans, and the live broadcast platform is also an unknown platform. There is no reason for people to find out that he is Li Pho’s parrot!
Bai Gaoxing felt more at ease when he thought that Li Pho had never taken a photo of him.
And I think Li Pu is not the kind of person who would do business with pets, so he is in a completely safe state now.
The snow-white parrot's fluffy feathers slowly became docile, and the crest on its head rose and fell repeatedly, causing the live broadcast audience to happily give him some gifts. Bai Gaoxing also thanked them one by one, but he was too lazy to look at the list of gifts and just said "thank you" in unison.
Now, many people are more certain that his previous clever dialogues were all "dubbing".
Bai Gaoxing ignored those people in the barrage who urged him to say something weird, and also ignored those who urged him to prove that he was not dubbing. When he got tired of talking, he raised his head to check the time. Almost an hour had passed.
The sun was setting and it was already evening outside.
In other words... Li Pho could come back at any time.
Bai Gaoxing perked up and said quickly into the microphone: "That's it for today's live broadcast. The master is coming back! See you next time~"
Then shut down.
Wait! When is “next time”? ?
Before the enthusiastic audience could send barrage questions, the live broadcast room had already disappeared.
In the dormitory.
After watching the live broadcast, Sui Yuan's tone was shaken: "Could this parrot really be Li Pu's?"
"It's also possible... a friend borrowed the account?" Wu Qingqing said with difficulty. But who among celebrities would borrow live broadcast accounts? They are not trying to gain popularity from each other!
As a national-level artist, Li Phou has a large number of fans ranging from eight to eighty years old. Naturally, many people, like Wu Qingqing, discovered the clues of the account.
In less than an hour of live broadcast, the news had already spread among several fan groups. Someone sent in the screen recording and repeatedly compared the account to see whether it was Li Pho's own account.
At six o'clock that evening.
The entry #Is this parrot from Li Pu's family# quietly topped the hot search list.
(Third update)
At this moment, Li Phou was not on the return plane as Bai Gaoxing had expected, but was in the largest flower and bird market in the center of Jiangcheng City.
Although the sun is about to set, the nightlife in Jiangcheng, known as the "city that never sleeps", has just begun. Even the flower and bird market will not close until after 9pm.
The man was wearing an incongruous formal outfit, a mask and a hat, and was standing at the market entrance, looking around.
It happened to be the evening rush hour when families were out for a walk after dinner, and the university town was nearby, so even though Li Pho was dressed so strangely, he was no longer so conspicuous in the crowd. Li Pho lowered the brim of his hat, dodged the curious gaze of another child, and followed the crowd into the room.
As the sky grew darker, the lights in the shops gradually came on, and many shop owners set up their stalls for the night, clearly marking the prices.
"Little boy, look at the rabbit? It's the kind that never grows up!"
"Gold gradient, with a bloodline certificate. There are also dolls. What kind do you want..."
"A hamster alone is so lonely, why not buy two to keep them company~"
“…”
It takes a long time to walk from the beginning to the end of the flower and bird market, so the flow of people has obviously decreased when you reach the middle. However, Li Pho did not stop, but looked around, as if he was looking for something.
Finally, he stopped in front of a stall.
The boss, who had just finished cleaning the bird cages, looked up and saw a tall man looking at him quietly. He was so frightened that the bottle of disinfectant in his hand splashed and almost splashed on the customer.
The boss wiped his face, glanced at Li Pu's clothes, and then came back to his senses and asked politely, "Look at the bird?"
Li Pu's eyes swept over the row of exquisite cages on the ground and the colorful birds in them, and he uttered one word: "Look."
The boss rubbed his hands and smiled, "What kind do you like? Pretty ones? Those who can scream well?"
Li Pu said: "It can speak."
The boss understood and pointed to the store behind him: "You mean the parrot? Of course we have them. They are all in the store. Come in and take a look?"
Li Pu nodded and followed the boss into the store.
As soon as he entered the room, a unique smell of grains mixed with birds hit him in the face. Li Pu raised his hand and slightly adjusted his mask, but in his mind, Dabai was always clean, with only a furry and warm smell.
The boss noticed his action and said with a smile: "There is no way. If you put too much here, the smell will be strong. I have to clean it every day, and I haven't started today yet."
As he spoke, he pulled out a tray from a cage, skillfully removed the plastic wrap on it, and replaced it with a new one.
Li Pho also saw the yellow and white things that had been splashed on the wall for years.
His eyelids twitched again.
The boss took Li Pu to a row of large electroplating cages and said, "This is it. We have all kinds of them. Which one do you want?"
So, Li Pho remained silent as he looked at the colorful and strange-looking parrots in front of him, as if he was thinking about something.
In fact, he just came to take a look.
Before getting off the plane, he had no intention of going to the flower and bird market, but the advertisements on the roadside caught his attention.
I had decided before that I didn’t have the energy to keep another parrot, but after discovering that the flower and bird market was very close, I decided to go and see the parrots on the market with my own eyes.
Li Phou, who prefers personal experience, thinks that the explanations in the "Farming Manual" are too theoretical and would be more convincing if he were to experience it himself.
But I didn't expect... these parrots are so different from Dabai.
Li Pu moved a little closer to one of the cages. The parrot inside was startled and its wings fluttered. The ends of its flight feathers had already become rough and wispy, and the pupils in its round eyes shrank sharply.
"Is there anyone who is not afraid of people?" Li Pu turned around and asked, "The bigger ones."
"Then they are hand-raised." The boss opened another door, and inside were several rows of custom-made wooden boxes. "They are newly weaned, with certificates and rings, and they are not afraid of people. They are just right for raising... but they are a bit expensive."
He paused, "We have a few grey parrots, too, but they're a little big and like to bite people. We need to train them when we get back."
Li Pu looked at the colorful parrots in the box. The down of these parrots had not yet completely shed. They looked at him curiously with their round eyes, and scrambled to stick their heads out, making sharp noises to beg for food.
The mouth is bigger than Big White's.
Even if he really wanted to take one back home, Li Pu had no confidence that he could keep this kind of parrot from biting people.
He thought about it, and asked under the expectant gaze of his boss: "Will parrots of different breeds fight if they are kept together?"
In a cage next to them was a nest of parrots. Two of them were fighting, their feathers flying, and they were jumping up and down.
The boss looked confused. "It depends on their personality." He said, "I won't cheat you. If you meet a fish with a good personality, it's ok. Some fish have been beaten since they were young. Some other breeds are basically beaten. Many people don't know this. They put them in cages right after they buy them. The next day, they are bleeding."
Li Pu hummed, thinking about Dabai's intelligence, it was still quite possible that an accident would happen.
The boss came and asked curiously, "Do you have one at home? What kind of animal do you have?"
Li Pho replied: "Phoenix parrot."
The boss tutted, "That's very expensive. Is it for a single person or a clan?"
Li Pu looked at him. "Isn't it the same?"
"Of course they are different." The boss said, "Duqi will know right away that it's fine to keep just one, otherwise it will turn the house upside down. Zongqi has a good personality and can be kept in a group, but... if you are keeping one as a companion, it's best to keep only one."
"Why?"
The boss laughed, "You don't understand this! This kind of parrot is very domineering and will treat its owner as a partner. If there are other birds, it will be jealous and angry to death."
overbearing?
Li Pu raised his eyebrows, thinking about the well-behaved little white kid at home who never made any noise or trouble, and he couldn't imagine what jealousy would look like.
He followed suit: "Forget it, I don't want anything else."
Losing a big customer! The boss wanted to slap his thigh, and asked: "How about buying some food to take back? I have a lot of snacks that the cockatoos like to eat. Everyone who has eaten them said they like them!"
“…”
Finally, Li Pho walked out of the flower and bird market carrying a bunch of various parrot snacks.
There was a lot of noise all around him and his hands were busy, so Li Pu didn't notice the screen of the phone in his pocket light up and missed the call from his assistant.
…
"Brother Li won't answer." Mei Youshu put down his phone and looked helplessly at the woman smoking a cigarette at the table.
"Forget it if you don't want to answer it." Lei Li was busy tapping on the work-specific mobile phone she had applied for for Li Pu, and she didn't even have time to look for a lighter.
This phone was used by her to manage all of Li Pu's accounts on the platform - there was no other way, and she didn't want to manage it, it was too weird. But artists are even weirder, she has never seen anything like this in her 20 years in the workplace, and she ended up taking over.
Lei Li tapped the screen with increasingly forceful fingers.
"That live broadcast... was it really started by Brother Li?" Mei Youshu, who had been Li Pu's assistant for two years, had never seen anything as strange as this. Could it be that raising pets can change people's hearts? Are pets' healing powers so strong?
"Who else could it be if not him? I have traced his account IP." Lei Li shook her phone with a strange expression for a moment, "I just didn't expect that he went back so early for this?"
Just this afternoon, she learned from Lin that Li Pho had changed his flight ticket and would return two hours earlier.
She was still wondering why the deadline was suddenly brought forward when she had no other work, and then she saw a video uploaded in a small fan group not long after.
Yes, as an agent, it is also important to keep abreast of fans’ movements. She also has several secondary accounts.
And she never expected that Li Pu, a man who usually stays away from social platforms, would quietly show off his pet?
Or use live broadcast.
This is very inconsistent with Le Pho's style, but there is also a point that is very consistent with Le Pho's style: he did not choose the Spark platform, but chose a very inconspicuous small platform.
Obviously, he didn't want too many people to see it.
But he probably didn't know that this platform was connected to Spark and the account was linked to the past.
So... you just want to show off your affection secretly?
Lei Li opened the saved video again. In the video, the furry little cutie was clearer, and it was chatting with the audience in the live broadcast room in a cute little voice.
Is Li Pu really good at raising birds? This question popped up in Lei Li's mind, but it quickly disappeared.
Rather than believing that a man who had been immersed in adjustment during his vacation could have the patience to train a bird, she believed that the parrot itself was very smart.
"Then... this trending search...?" Mei Youshu held his phone in his hand and saw the term floating up and down at the end of the trending search, with no sign of rising.
According to past practice, whenever there is a hot search about Li Pu's private life outside of work, the company will suppress it according to his wishes; as for work-related news, as long as it is not negative, it will be left alone.
But this time...what kind?
Lei Li gave a decisive answer: "Let it float."
The woman changed her hand to hold the cigarette, and said thoughtfully, "It seems that raising a pet has indeed improved his condition. Maybe he has come to terms with it."
After saying this, even she couldn't help laughing.
Sorry, this sentence is too funny to be used on Li Pho.
"What do you think?" She looked at the young man beside her.
Mei Youshu also thought about it and felt that this was indeed possible, and nodded repeatedly: "Brother Li cares a lot about Dabai."
So he took out his phone again and said, "Then I'll give Brother Li a call and tell him..."
"Why are you fighting?" Lei Li laughed. "Haven't we been given full control of these accounts? It would be strange if his fans believed it."
He must be angry.
Mei Youshu instinctively did not reply, but just refreshed the comments added under Li Pu's account.
Just as Lei Li said, the comment section was full of “hahahaha” and “disbelief” - everyone had become accustomed to Li Phou’s account’s quiet status, and the occasional curious ones were suppressed.
Maybe... Brother Li can still live in peace for a while?
Turning around, Lei Li turned off her phone, picked up her bag and jacket in one go, "Get off work!"
…
The dark living room suddenly lit up, and Bai Gaoxing knew even with his eyes closed that Li Pu had returned.
It seems that he came back a little later than expected...? Bai Gaoxing looked at the time. But this was better, as it gave him enough time to clean up the house.
Just as he was about to soar over, he saw two large bags in the other person's hands.
So thoughtful! Bringing back local specialties from a business trip! ?
Bai Gaoxing let out a happy cry, whistled "Mua~", and then reached into the pocket to see what was inside.
It is said that Greentown is famous for its desserts, maybe they have all kinds of special cakes and desserts?
Thinking of this, Bai Gaoxing stretched out his claws and hooked the edge of the bag, "Open it quickly and take a look!"
After a pause, I felt that this attitude towards the owner was too tool-like, so I added: "Welcome back~"
The man put down the bag in his hand and stroked his head hair twice. Bai Gaoxing also stood obediently, his eyes fixed on the big bag.
Then, Li Pho began to take things out from inside.
He took out a dozen bottles, jars and bags.
At first, it looked like normal dried fruits and vegetables, melon seeds, etc., but later, there were dried mealworms, dried snails... What is this, Li Pu! Are you on a business trip or to some weird camping tribe?
Li Pu stopped moving and looked at the parrot in confusion as it suddenly became stiff, with all its fur standing on end.
By the way... parrots may revive after being separated for too long.
Let it get familiar with itself again first.
Just in time to try some snacks.
Li Pho opened the can he was holding, reached out tentatively, and took out a long, sticky rice dumpling.
But unexpectedly, Dabai not only did not come over curiously as usual, but instead stepped back further and further, with his eyes getting wider and wider.
Uhhhhhhhhh——! Take it away!!
Bai Gaoxing swore that he had absolutely no hobby of eating insects, so he backed away and backed away until he was stuck to the leg of the sofa.
It seems like I don't like it.
Li Pu thought about Da Bai's reaction and decided to put his luggage away first. But on his way to the room, he immediately found that several doors that should not have been open were opened.
Especially... the one that holds the important items.
"You'd better not be naughty." Li Pu thought of the possibility of the cockatoo destroying the house, glanced at the white ball beside the sofa, and walked straight in.
Bai Gaoxing...Bai Gaoxing was terrified.
