Chapter 38
【REC.】
"Dabai." The man's voice sounded faintly.
"Ah?" The big snow-white parrot looked up stupidly.
"Come, come here."
"What are you doing?" The parrot tilted its head, as if in deep thought. A few seconds later, it happily walked towards the camera.
【REC.】
The big white parrot was gracefully holding a piece of rapeseed in its claws and eating it, crunching, crunching. It seemed to be wolfing down the food, but in fact it was very perfunctory.
The man asked, "Is it delicious?"
The parrot was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned its head.
The next second, it sobbed: "You abused me."
【REC.】
A beautiful, large rattan ball, a popular toy among pet birds.
The big white parrot tentatively poked the ball with its beak and seemed to like it very much. It first rolled it back and forth with its claws, and then kicked it to make it roll.
Twenty seconds later...
"Help! Help!!!" The parrot's head was stuck into the hole of the sepak takraw.
"Dabai, don't move!" Even the man's voice outside the camera became no longer calm.
【REC.】
…
Standing on the sofa back, Bai Gaoxing watched Li Pu connect the video camera to the laptop and replay the videos shot that day.
“…”
His whole body was tense, his claws dug deep into the sofa, and strange sounds came from his throat.
Help! Who is this idiot in the video? It's definitely not him, it's definitely not him, it's definitely not him!
Is it a third-person perspective issue? Or is there some other reason——
Bai Gaoxing looked at the back of Li Pu's head. His face was ferocious! His eyes were fierce! His heart was in a struggle!
It must be that Li Pu's recording method is wrong! He is not embarrassed at all when he is live streaming! It must be that the camera magnified this feeling!
Bai Gaoxing couldn't calm down. He jumped onto Li Pu's shoulder and stretched out his claws to step on the delete key.
A large hand rose up to block his movement.
"Dabai, look."
The instigator still had a smile on his face, "It's still very cute."
Bai Gaoxing immediately lowered his head, twisted his neck 180 degrees and looked up at Li Pu, "Are you sure?"
Li Pu touched him with his backhand and said, "I know you still want to play. Don't worry, there are still many days."
Bai Gaoxing was in despair.
Just this morning, after Li Pho turned on the video recorder, he thought Li Pho was not going to open for business, so he came over to perform on his own.
As a result, he was hit head on.
He asked why Li Pu later took out the toys to play with him... He thought this man had a change of heart and didn't spend much time with him.
So you can run a business too...
"Dabai, look at this."
The man's voice sounded again. Bai Gaoxing looked up lazily and saw him take out something from the drawer of the coffee table - a bicycle? ?
He suddenly perked up and took two steps towards the other party involuntarily. There is such a fun thing, why didn't I take it before!
Li Pu smiled, put the small and exquisite bicycle on the ground, and pushed it a little. "Would you like to try it?"
Of course he wants to try it! He hasn't played it yet.
Bai Gaoxing got on the bicycle with great interest, holding the handles on both sides that served as "pedals" with his two paws, and started to ride clockwise.
"Dabai, look here."
Bai Gaoxing turned around when he heard the voice and saw Li Pu holding a video camera towards him. The huge camera was shining brightly.
Bai Gaoxing: “…”
Got cheated.
Li Pu saw that Dabai, who was riding a bicycle happily in the camera, suddenly drooped his head, jumped to the side and kicked the bicycle away.
The small bicycle was kicked far away, drawing a large arc, and hit the table leg with a "bang".
Li Pu was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, put down the video camera and walked over to stroke his hair, "You are allowed to eat one today."
The man held a pine nut in his hand.
Smooth and fragrant.
Bai Gaoxing stared at him for a while, thinking that he would never give in, and turned his head away arrogantly.
After a few seconds, he turned around again and quickly and carefully grabbed the pine nuts.
…
Such peaceful days lasted for several days.
Li Pu had a regular life, reading a play or playing with him in the morning, and going to the library or the mall in the afternoon. Bai Gaoxing was even more relaxed, watching TV and playing with the sweeper at home every day, taking a bath when it was hot, and sneaking into bed when it was cold, at least he didn't think about surfing the Internet anymore.
——Bai Gaoxing did what he said. During the period, he did not touch the equipment or step into the study.
The video camera next to the balcony was left on during this period, and its running light went from being constantly on to flickering, indicating that it was running out of battery.
However, while the two are enjoying some leisure time, the company is under some public pressure.
"These people really love to spread rumors. Which magazine did they come from? They really came here just because they smelled something." Lei Li looked at a "news headline" that came out from the gap, stared at the computer screen and sneered.
Mei Youshu came over to take a look. It was an article written by a relatively famous blogger. He analyzed in detail that Star Entertainment must have conducted cruel and inhumane training on Dabai, and lamented that pets in the entertainment industry are now living in dire straits. Li Pu must have been an accomplice who knew about it. The reason is -
"Brother Li's two accounts have been quiet for five or six days." Mei Youshu repeated, and then said with a look of indifference: "They said this after only five or six days?"
For accounts like Weibo, which need to be active and publish announcements, they help manage them and barely manage the frequency of posting messages once every two weeks. As for accounts like live broadcast platforms, which are private in nature and they do not manage them, the results are predictable.
It’s good to be able to make a sound!
Brother Li is an awesome man who is known as “the artist who has not posted on his live streaming account for the longest time”!
"After all, this is about small animals, especially domestic pets, so it's easy for them to take advantage of it." Lei Li pointed to the comments section, "There are many people who make trouble in the name of 'protecting animals', especially this year's 'Cute Pet Diary' is so popular and has been watched all the time, so they can use this as an opportunity to make a fuss."
Mei Youshu's expression became a little more serious. "Then we should..."
"I have already informed the higher-ups and will be arranging a video response, as well as a live broadcast."
Lei Li clicked the mouse and pulled up a video. "Today I asked Li Pu to send the footage he shot in the past few days. I'll have someone edit some of the footage and release it as a daily video. The rumors will be dispelled. As for live streaming... find a suitable time to let Dabai officially meet the public. This will also show the company's attitude."
Mei Youshu was stunned. "Let Dabai participate in the live broadcast? Is it possible?"
Lei Li hesitated for a moment, "Looking at Dabai's performance in these videos, there shouldn't be any problem. He's quite suitable for the camera."
She opened another form. "There are even a few pet product companies that have contacted me, saying they want to work with Dabai to shoot commercials. I'll just have to see how Dabai does this time, maybe I can really take the job in the future."
"Well..." Mei Youshu nodded, and then showed an awkward expression, "What if Brother Li disagrees?"
"Why do we need his consent?" Lei Li asked, "Isn't it enough to just have Dabai? Isn't Dabai more beloved than him?"
Mei Youshu: "Hmm???"
That seems to make sense.
Lei Li: "Of course, if we can get him to participate, we should try to get him to participate, otherwise it will be a big deal." She smiled, "So, go to his house tomorrow, turn on the live broadcast, and take a video from the assistant's perspective. The live broadcast announcement has just been released, keep up the good work."
Hmmmm? ?
Mei Youshu was surprised: "Tomorrow? So soon!?"
…
Tomorrow is here.
Mei Youshu took out the spare key Lei Li gave him and opened the door as gently as possible.
"Brother Shu." Lin Shi swallowed his saliva, "Teacher Li is not here, so we can just go in like this? Is that okay?"
"Well, it's okay. I've already told him that he won't be back until later." Mei Youshu smiled at the new assistant, "Let's do what we need to do first. Don't move around when you enter the house."
Currently, only he, Sister Li, and a handful of senior leaders know that Brother Li goes to psychological counseling every week. Although Lin Shi was temporarily transferred to be Brother Li's assistant, the time is too short for her to understand it.
Mei Youshu secretly sighed, who knew the timing was so coincidental.
But fortunately, Brother Li said he would come back as soon as possible, and maybe he could even catch the end of the live broadcast.
Mei Youshu calmed himself down and walked into Li Pu's house with ease.
Lin Shi followed in.
As soon as they entered the room, Mei Youshu was the first to shout, "Dabai?"
A few seconds later, the man's voice came back: "Da Shu?"
Lin Shi hissed and looked at Mei Youshu quietly, "Is Brother Li at home?"
Mei Youshu rubbed his arms, which were covered with goosebumps, and sighed, "Dabai, don't talk like Brother Li."
"Rings and edges..."
The sound of flapping wings was heard, and Lin Shi turned his head towards the sound and saw a snow-white shadow flying out of the bedroom and landing directly in front of them.
Hips land.
"Wow! Is this Dabai?" Lin Shi's eyes suddenly sparkled, "So cute!"
She turned around, "Brother Shu, you——"
"Hey, why are you wearing sunglasses?"
Mei Youshu, who didn't want his new colleagues to find out that he was afraid of birds, coughed and said, "The sun is a little strong today."
Lin Shi looked outside: "But it's a bit cloudy today?"
Mei Youshu: “…”
At this moment, Bai Gaoxing looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in his house, and ignored the wolf-bearing beast who got up from the ground and displayed the posture of a white crane spreading its wings.
Hey! Who are you? What are you doing here?
"Wow, Brother Shu, do you think Dabai welcomes us?" The young girl with long black hair smiled in surprise and waved at him, "Hello, I'm Teacher Li's assistant, my name is Lin Shi."
What kind of assistant? Temporary assistant?
Bai Gaoxing glanced at Lin Shi suspiciously, then looked at Mei Youshu behind her.
He knows this one, even KFC is afraid of it.
"What are you doing here?" Bai Gaoxing asked him. Li Pu went out again today without saying a word, and he didn't know if he knew.
Mei Youshu didn't answer him, but looked around and said, "The light in the living room is a little dim, let's go to the balcony and shoot a video directly, to be realistic."⊙
Lin Shi nodded and took out a small handheld camera from his bag.
Mei Youshu began to explain the precautions, "Wait a minute, you will start recording as the narrator, keep the rhythm in mind, and don't worry if you make mistakes, the sound will be cut off later and you will have to re-record it." He paused, "Just use the script we agreed on yesterday, have you memorized it?"
Lin Shi: "I've memorized them all, don't worry!"
Bai Gaoxing became even more confused as he listened to their conversation, but when he saw the camera in Lin Shi's hand, he vaguely guessed something.
Came here specially to take pictures of him...?
Mei Youshu continued, "Okay, Xiaolin, now go get Dabai to the balcony."
Lin Shi: "Okay, I——"
She paused, "Should I catch up? Will it be obedient?"
Mei Youshu coughed softly, "It's a good opportunity for you to get familiar with Dabai. Maybe he can get there on his own without having to rush him. He's quite sensible."
Lin Shi nodded doubtfully, then turned to the snow-white parrot, "Dabai? Come with me to the balcony?"
Bai Gaoxing tried to take a few steps forward, and then he saw the camera in her hand pointed at him.
Sure enough, he was right.
Li Pho is not at home, and you are here to secretly take pictures of his birds?
Bai Gaoxing looked at the two of them suspiciously, unable to tell whether this was an official or personal action.
Fortunately, Mei Youshu's next words answered his doubts: "After we finish shooting this, we can do a short live broadcast on the balcony and hand it in when we're done - have you got the phone stand?"
Bai Gaoxing opened his eyes in disbelief. He was actually here to broadcast live? Why?
"Live broadcast? Why?" he asked directly.
"Huh?" It was Lin Shi who answered him. The girl smiled and said, "Of course, to make more people like you. Now many people like you very much, and the company also wants to take the opportunity to promote you."
Oh, it’s official.
Bai Gaoxing nodded, and the next second he saw Lin Shi and tugged at Mei Youshu in surprise, "Dabai actually responded to me! He's really smart!"
Mei Youshu: I don’t watch it.
Following Lin Shi's guidance, Bai Gaoxing staggered to the balcony.
Yes, he deliberately acted silly and looked confused, otherwise strangers would definitely find it strange.
Lin Shi held up the camera, talking and filming, her heart surging with excitement. In the camera, the snow-white parrot occasionally spread its beautiful wings, and its round black eyes would look at her innocently. Sometimes it would interact with her and say a few words.
"Dabai, can you fly up and try?"
Lin Shi tried to wave his hand, and watched in surprise as the parrot actually leaped up and fluttered to the flower stand on the balcony.
She withdrew her gaze from the camera, wanting to share this joy with Mei Youshu, but when she looked up, she saw that the young man was far away from her.
About...the distance between the balcony and the restaurant.
Lin Shi was extremely confused. "Brother Shu, why did you run so far? Why don't you come and see how my photos look?"
Mei Youshu waved his hand: "I'm going to go to the study to take a look. I believe you can take good pictures."
"Oh..." Lin Shi had no choice but to turn back and take pictures of the parrot.
Bai Gaoxing walked back and forth on the flower stand, occasionally jumping up and down and pecking at the buds that had not yet bloomed. His mood gradually became more relaxed and his movements became larger.
While he was dancing happily, Lin Shimin noticed that the claws had touched a small jar under the flowerpot and shouted:
"Dabai, be careful--!"
But it was too late.
A small metal can falls from a height
, making a crisp knocking sound.
Lin Shi's sight followed the jar as it slowly descended until its lid separated and the contents spilled out.
Take a deep breath.
Then scream.
"ah!!!!!!!!"
Mei Youshu was startled by the shouting on the balcony and hurried over there, "What's wrong, Xiaolin?"
Lin Shi hugged Bai Gaoxing and rolled and crawled out of the balcony, almost crying: "Bugs!!!! There are so many bugs, so disgusting!!!!!!!"
Mei Youshu's pupils also shrank, but not because of the bugs crawling all over the ground, but because of Bai Gaoxing's pointed mouth. His legs went limp and he fell backwards subconsciously:
"Wait! Don't come over here!"
"Put down Dabai!"
"stop!!!"
