Chapter 3

[What should I do if my pet doesn’t want to eat after arriving at my new home? ]

After ten minutes of stalemate, Bai Gaoxing's eyelids twitched as he watched Li Pu open his notebook and type these words.

Most popular answer: Don't disturb it when it first arrives in the new environment. It will eat when it is hungry.

There are all kinds of pet-raising tips on the Internet. Li Pu quickly browsed through a few posts and seemed to think they made a lot of sense.

Well, just starve him.

Bai Gaoxing walked back and forth behind Li Pu twice, and deeply experienced one of the shortcomings of being a bird. In his memory, this parrot had just eaten a meal before coming in the morning, and now it was so hungry that it felt dizzy.

Bird, if you stay hungry for too long, you will die.

But he didn't want to eat bird food.

Bai Gaoxing struggled with his thoughts for a while, and suddenly remembered that there was still steaming food on the table.

He looked up and saw a bowl of rice, a dish and a soup. They looked very good. Compared with the bowl of bird food next to it, they were truly delicacies from land and sea.

Bai Gaoxing glanced at Li Pu and saw that he was still reading the pet-raising guide seriously, so he quietly stepped back, first jumping from the sofa to the dining chair, and then jumping onto the dining table.

Isn't the meal here?

Bai Gaoxing looked at the braised spare ribs, stir-fried rapeseed and tomato egg soup in front of him with shining eyes, and took a bite of the thickest piece of pork ribs.

"Dabai!"

Bai Gaoxing was startled when he heard the man's scolding from behind, but he also knew that this was a rare opportunity, so he immediately looked at the food and took two bites with grunting sounds. Unfortunately, before he could take the third bite, he was pushed aside by a hand.

"Dabai? Spit it out." Li Pu frowned slightly.

Quack, quack.

Bai Gaoxing pretended not to understand. He tasted it carefully with his tongue and swallowed it directly, with his wings spread out, looking like "what can you do to me".

He had already thought it through. If this person really dared to bite his throat, he would -

Take a gentle peck.

Bai Gaoxing stared at Li Pu's slender and clean fingertips for a while, and after weighing his current fighting ability, he decided that it would be better not to resort to violence rashly.

But I have to say, this guy's craftsmanship is really good.

Bai Gaoxing secretly glanced at the dishes on the table, but he didn't know that this action was very conspicuous in Li Pu's eyes. Li Pu sighed helplessly and took a porcelain bowl with a white background and gray flowers.

"Don't eat anything."

It's the same bowl of bird food again.

Bai Gaoxing looked at the contents of the bowl dejectedly for a few seconds and turned his head away.

Sick pets are hard to keep.

This was the first thought that came to Li Pho’s mind.

He looked at the parrot, sullenly burying its head in its chest, and the small bald spot on its chest became more prominent with this action.

I have a headache.

Li Pu observed the parrot's reaction from the side. He remembered that many animals could not eat human food, otherwise it would be... something, anyway, it would be bad.

After a long silence, he suddenly remembered something his friend had left for him.

Oh, and the breeding manual...

Bai Gaoxing hung his head and resolved not to eat the bird food, but he did not move for a long time until he heard the sound of someone rummaging for something.

"Putong Parrot..."

Li Pu was holding a booklet half a finger thick in his hand, flipping through it as he walked back.

Finally, he found the page that read: The main food of the tung-bearing parrot is sunflower seeds and grains, supplemented by fruits and vegetables (see the notes for taboos). It can also eat a small amount of meat (such as insects and snails).

A small amount...

Li Pu read this sentence and felt a little relieved.

Dabai just ate two bites of ribs, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

He looked up and saw the big white parrot on the table circling the porcelain bowl and trying to steal some food. Perhaps because it knew it was doing something wrong and felt nervous, the paulownia-leaf-like crest on its head puffed up like a palm-leaf fan.

"Dabai." He drank in a low voice.

Bai Gaoxing startled and looked towards the man not far away, his bright black eyes widened.

Why are you so fierce?

If you don’t want to eat it, then don’t eat it!

Bai Gaoxing looked sadly at the plate of food from which the heat was gradually dissipating, and walked back swaying.

"You can eat this." Li Pu brought other feeds that came with the feeding manual. In addition to nourishing pills and grains, there was also a large bag of sunflower seeds.

The black and white melon seeds were poured into the bowl, covering up the layer of bird food that had no taste.

Melon seeds... can be considered a mix.

Bai Gaoxing picked up a melon seed while looking at Li Pu. However, at the moment he picked it up, it was as if something penetrated his soul. His mouth involuntarily cracked the hard melon seed open, and his flexible tongue peeled it out, tasting the fragrant melon seed kernel.

Oh-oh!!! He can eat sunflower seeds!!!

Bai Gaoxing's eyes suddenly lit up. This was another excellent skill!

I didn’t expect that melon seeds are quite delicious... Bai Gaoxing picked up another one. There was very little meat in the two bites just now. Compared to the human food that he wanted to eat but couldn’t, he had to use the acceptable melon seeds to fill the gap.

"Crunch, crunch..." The crisp sound of cracking melon seeds rang out continuously. Li Pu watched for a while before sitting down at the table to eat lunch with peace of mind.

He didn't notice that the parrot, with its head buried in the bowl, only ate for a while before raising its head and looking at him quietly.

Oh, I must have a share of this meal sooner or later - Bai Gaoxing thought so.

…

Li Pu had the habit of taking a nap at noon. After eating, he returned to the bedroom, leaving Bai Gaoxing like a bird in the living room.

According to his idea, Dabai doesn't like being locked in a cage, so just let it wander around freely. The doors of other rooms are locked and the windows are closed, so there is no danger.

Just like that, Li Pho closed his bedroom door and missed a spectacle that he might never see in his life - a parrot using a computer.

The bird claw is difficult to control the mouse.

After the cursor on the computer screen shook wildly for several minutes, Bai Gaoxing kicked the mouse aside a little impatiently.

No problem, there's still a touchpad.

Bai Gaoxing placed the thickest part of his claw on it, tremblingly moved the cursor to the browser icon, and clicked it hard. A new search page popped up on the original parrot-raising guide page.

Almost five hours had passed since he turned into a bird, but he still didn't want to accept his fate. After confirming that there was no surveillance in the house, he started using the computer.

First, find out where he is now.

Bai Gaoxing lowered his head and typed L, then I. As soon as the word "Li" came out, the search box pushed a series of questions about Li Pu.

Which magazine cover is the most handsome in Li Pho?

What are the works of Le Pho?

Did Li Pho win the Best Actor award at this year's Jinhua Awards?

Li Pho...

So many of them came out all at once, it seems like they are really popular.

But this is not a good thing.

The light on the screen was reflected in Bai Gaoxing's dark round eyes. There was no joy in them of having found a golden thigh, but only shock and dullness of discovering the truth.

Li Pho, the new movie emperor, is very popular, but no one has ever heard of him.

There is a high probability... that this is not his original world.

Bai Gaoxing didn't believe it, so he typed out his school, address... and even a well-known interpretation award he had won. However, the things he found did exist, but they had nothing to do with what he remembered.

It’s really weird.

Bai Gaoxing glanced at the relevant introduction of Li Pu again. In the past, when he was addicted to various forums and software, he had seen a lot of entertainment content, which made him, who was not a fan of celebrities, familiar with him. If there was a person like Li Pu, he would have been pushed to him a long time ago, not to mention that he had such a unique name...

This work is by

Bai Gaoxing sighed in frustration and finally faced the fact that he had traveled through time.

And he was dressed very thoroughly.

Bai Gaoxing sat in silence in front of the computer screen for a while, closed the webpage, and searched for various scientific facts about Li Pu.

After all, he will be the real owner in the future, so it won’t be a bad thing to know more about him.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Li Pho woke up from his nap.

He habitually went to the living room to get some water, and as soon as he opened the door he saw Dabai flying from the dining table to the ground.

The computer screen on the table was still on. It was the guide on raising parrots that he had searched for before. He probably came across it when Dabai was playing on the table.

Li Pu put the mouse that had run away back to its place, put the computer under the coffee table, and then went to the kitchen to get some water. Little did he know that Bai Gaoxing, who was pretending to look for rice on the ground, had a pounding heart.

He was scared to death!

He almost had time to close the search page!

Bai Gaoxing didn't expect Li Pu to come out so quickly. He didn't know whether it took more than three seconds from the time he heard the sound to the time the bedroom door opened.

It’s great to have long legs, right?

but……

Bai Gaoxing nervously looked at the location where the computer was stored. He hadn't had time to delete the browsing history yet. He wondered if this person had the habit of opening the history page...

If discovered...

He shuddered.

Bai Gaoxing calmed himself down, flapped his wings and jumped onto the sofa, standing behind Li Pu who had already fetched water.

The man held the water cup and continued to browse the guide on how to raise parrots on his mobile phone.

Bai Gaoxing was full of hope that the man could take good care of himself. Apart from not being able to eat delicious food here, he was quite free.

But, brother, why don’t you prepare a basin of water?

I want to drink water!

Bai Gaoxing stared at the cup in Li Pu's hand. The fish tank water in the morning was no longer enough, and he was thirsty again. Now he just wanted to drink water.

The question is, how can he express his meaning without making the other party feel scared?

"Ahem..." He cleared his throat.

The man is still looking at his phone.

"Ahem, hello, look here!"

Li Pu: “……?” Was he hallucinating?

"Hello? Hello? I'm here?" Bai Gaoxing said.

Li Pu turned his head, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"I'm thirsty, drink some water~" Bai Gaoxing nodded and said, trying to express his desire to drink water in a short sentence. He felt that he had expressed it clearly enough! Isn't it enough to force him to say it out loud?

Woo woo, he really wanted to say, "Dear master, could you please take a look at your parrot that is almost dying of thirst and give it a bottle of Coke."

Fortunately, the other party understood what he meant and immediately stood up to pour him a bowl of water. He immediately sat down on the table and drank it in gulps.

After drinking the water, Bai Gaoxing burped and stood behind Li Pu again.

He glanced casually and found that the other party had logged out of the pet website and was now browsing the shopping app.

There are a row of expensive bird cages in the shopping cart.

Bai Gaoxing was so curious that he leaned forward unconsciously and accidentally touched Li Pu's profile.

Li Pu was still in shock at Dabai's sudden words. After feeling the fur on his face, he tried to pick up his phone.

Question: "Dabai, which one do you like?"

The man's deep voice echoed in my ears.

The mobile phone screen seemed to have been moved closer.

Bai Gaoxing was a little embarrassed and wanted to say that he didn't like the cage, but after seeing the dazzling gifts and toys inside, he hesitated.

It seems like it might be okay to give it a try... After all, this guy probably won't lock him up...

Before Bai Gaoxing could react, he had already jumped onto the man's shoulders and pointed at the most flashy one with his mouth, "Ga!"
