Chapter 52

The time goes back to two days ago.

"...That's what happened." After talking about the problems he encountered with the actors during the filming, Director Sun let out a long breath and handed over a cigarette.

Li Pho declined the cigarette, thought for a while, and apologized, "I don't really want Dabai to get involved."

Director Sun was silent.

He was thinking too simply.

After all, she is Li Pu's pet. Even if the crew makes comprehensive and appropriate arrangements, how can it compare to eating and drinking delicious food at home without any worries?

Li Pho thought so too.

No matter how good the crew is, it is not as good as home or work, especially with the bad weather recently. Dabai is here and he is not used to the climate...

He really couldn't rest assured.

After thinking about it, Li Pu nodded, turned around and walked towards the scene.

"Wait!" Director Sun called him from behind.

The director, who always strives to make the scenes perfect, still wants to fight for it. "We will sign a contract and pay it according to the standard of normal actors - Baymax? I have seen all its works, it is very suitable for the lens, give it a chance - no, I mean, let Baymax give me a chance."

Li Pho paused.

But despite such an earnest request, he still refused.

So, Director Sun started to ask two questions every day. He asked once before filming and once after filming. This made the crew members who didn't know the inside story unable to bear it and thought he was trying to get out of this by some backdoor.

Li Pu was very patient and always politely refused, but he was actually a little hesitant - he had been away from Jiangcheng for some time, and the most he knew about Dabai's recent situation was from his assistant and agent. After such a long separation, he missed the furry feel of his hand, and sometimes even thought of how adorable Dabai was at home during his vacation.

Neither of them gave in. The weather was about to clear up next week. Just when Director Sun thought there might be no chance, he saw Lei Li's live broadcast.

"Teacher Li, have you seen this?"

At this time, the day's filming had just ended and the actors left in twos and threes, leaving the two with enough space to talk.

Li Pu took the phone and saw Da Bai interacting with Lei Li in her personal live broadcast room.

"This is..."

"This must be Dabai." Director Sun's eyes were filled with excitement and joy. He looked at Li Pu repeatedly, trying to analyze his expression. "Dabai has the qualities to be a good actor. He speaks so clearly, so he must have no problem speaking..."

Li Pu thought for a moment and asked, "Does the parrot need to learn any moves?"

He recalled the video Lei Li had sent him the day before, in which Dabai performed various movements at the command of a person who was said to be a professional bird trainer.

Dabai is still as amazing as ever. It has known all these moves for a long time and has performed them in front of him when it was still at home. It’s just that he doesn’t know where it learned them from... Sometimes, he really thinks Dabai is too smart.

When Li Pu's thoughts reached this point, he turned around and heard Director Sun happily answer him: "That's not necessary. Just stand in the bird cage and finish your speech."

That's much easier - the actor thought so, totally unaware that speaking was actually more difficult.

Li Pu tried to imagine Dabai as an actor and felt like laughing. If Dabai really came here, he didn't know if the crew could control it.

Thinking of this, his originally relaxed brows became somewhat solemn again.

"...Are you worried that Dabai is not having a good time here?" After thinking it over, Director Sun felt that this was the only problem, and immediately promised: "You know that I will never slack off in this regard when I'm filming. I borrowed animals from the zoo before, and I sent them back without losing a single hair."

He even promised that he could find someone to find the food that Dabai was used to eating, and buy a large box of drinking water from Jiangcheng for Dabai's exclusive use. He would also hire more people to keep an eye on it and build an independent bird's nest with a large space for flying, so as to never give it a chance to run around.

"Besides," Director Sun unintentionally dropped a bomb that hit people's hearts, "You've been separated from your pet for such a long time. Even if you don't miss it, it will miss you. It will feel bad if you leave it alone."

Li Pu looked at the screen again. The big white parrot in the live broadcast room was staring at the screen blankly, seeming very lonely.

He could see that although Dabai interacted with the agent from time to time, he was always casual and perfunctory, which was very different from the way he acted silly and cute at home.

This time, Li Pho was completely shaken.

"You mean... you want to bring Baymax to the crew?"

In the live studio, after hearing the appeal of Li Pu on the other end of the phone, Lei Li raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked back at the parrot on the table, "How can it be bad? It's too late to support it."

She said: "Dabai is your parrot after all. No matter how many people help you in the company, it is better for it to stay with its owner."

Li Pu's finger on the back of the phone slid slightly, "Then let Dashu bring it over, the sooner the better."

"Okay." Lei Li replied, then paused, "Do you want to talk to Dabai?"

Without waiting for Li Pu to answer, she put her cell phone next to the parrot's head and asked, "Your master, can you say hello?"

Bai Gaoxing was still wondering why the agent said "stay together" when he was stunned by the cell phone that was suddenly handed to him.

He put his feather crown on his head and said in a polite and proper manner: "Hello, good evening, have you eaten?"

He didn't hear what was just said, he didn't hear it, he didn't hear it! Bai Gaoxing prayed in his heart.

However, his prayer was unsuccessful. After a few seconds, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Well, hello, good evening, eat. And then forget the sentence you just learned."

Well, he heard it.

But Bai Gaoxing was still moved by Li Pu's answer word by word, and looked at the microphone of the mobile phone with bright eyes.

Not long after, Director Sun took over the phone instead of Li Pu and discussed the specific matters with Lei Li.

The live broadcast room began to surge again. Bai Gaoxing looked at the screams of the audience and fans and jumped towards the mouse.

Tap Mute.

The barrage was filled with crazy question marks.

After they finished chatting, Lei Li finally returned to the computer, ready to say goodbye to the people in the live broadcast room.

Too many bullet screens caught her attention. Lei Li looked carefully and noticed that the microphone was turned off. She laughed and said, "Maybe Dabai accidentally touched it."

Bai Gaoxing blinked innocently.

Then he saw the agent shut down his computer, turn off the lights, take out his cell phone and make a call.

…

The next day, Bai Gaoxing appeared on the plane to Chuncheng.

Pick up the ticket, go through security, and board the plane. He finally understood why someone had been taking him around so early this morning. Before he even woke up, he saw a certificate of animal quarantine that belonged to him.

"Dabai, come out and move around for a bit?" Mei Youshu said, opening the cage door. "But let's make it clear first, you have to go in after you get off the plane."

Bai Gaoxing agreed and walked out of the flight box.

It’s actually first class!

Bai Gaoxing glanced at the separated seats around him. No wonder the assistant dared to let him out from here.

Seeing Mei Youshu looking left and right but not at him, Bai Gaoxing couldn't bear to scare him, so he stayed quietly in his seat, watching the clouds passing by outside the window.

The light blue sky was extremely vast, and the morning sunlight dyed the clouds golden. His mood at this moment was like a bird flying outdoors.

Let time pass faster!

Finally, after several hours of flying and a long taxi ride after getting off the plane, we arrived at our destination.

Ancient city, bluestone slabs, flower buds.

Bai Gaoxing squatted in the airline box, being carried as if he were sitting on a cable car, and relaxedly enjoyed the scenery outside.

The sky here is a dark light blue with a hint of overcast, but it doesn't feel cold, and the wind is gentle and mild, which is very different from the wild hurricane I saw in the video that day.

Along the way, there are flowers and trees everywhere, and the neat and ancient streets are full of solemnity and majesty, as if every brick contains its own unique story.

Bai Gaoxing took a deep breath and felt that the air here was filled with a hint of floral scent.

No wonder it’s called Spring City.

Then I couldn’t help but jump twice. It’s really fun to go on a business trip with company pay!

Mei Youshu felt the airline box in his hand begin to shake, thinking that the parrot was being suffocated, and consoled it by saying, "It will be there soon, you will be able to see Brother Li soon."

Bai Gaoxing calmed down, looked at the roadside, and felt that even a small wild flower was cute.

Finally, they arrived at the gate of an ancient temple.

Equipment was set up everywhere, and people in ancient costumes were walking in twos and threes, looking hurried. Occasionally someone would glance at Mei Youshu.

Mei Youshu was just carrying the airline box and didn't attract anyone's attention at all as he was carrying various props.

Bai Gaoxing listened carefully. In such a large courtyard, the sounds of reciting poems and discussing were intertwined. Occasionally, he could hear the chirping of swallows talking on the eaves.

Where is Li Pho?

He turned his head to look around, but because his viewing angle was too low, he could only see the shoes and clothes of people coming and going.

But not long after, Bai Gaoxing felt himself moving again, and the box suddenly rose a distance.

He was placed on a stone table in the corner.

This way, you can see people's faces. Bai Gaoxing began to look around with great interest. He saw many people dressed in ancient costumes, with long hair and wide robes, emphasizing a graceful beauty.

Mei Youshu stood by the table and looked around. They had agreed to meet in this yard, but he hadn't arrived yet and his phone wasn't connected. He must have already changed his clothes.

Mei Youshu tapped the box lightly, feeling a little anxious. Although he really wanted to find someone to help watch Dabai, he was still worried.

A moment later, there was a commotion in the crowd in the distance, and a man in a vest and a duckbill cap walked in from the main entrance, followed by a slender figure.

"It's too late, it's really..."

Mei Youshu saw it immediately and took a few steps forward to greet him, "Director Sun."

He looked around the director and found that there was only Lin Shi, but no Li Po.

"Where's Brother Li?" he asked.

Director Sun adjusted his hat and said, "Teacher Li just came in from the back door - hey, where is it!"

He raised his head to signal, and Mei Youshu turned around and found that the figure he had been looking for had jumped out from the other side without him knowing when.

In the airline box, Bai Gaoxing was happily admiring the beautiful clothes and gowns. The material was nice, the pattern was good. As he looked around, suddenly a shade of blue caught his eye.

So close...

This was the first time that someone passed by so closely. He studied the cloth carefully and found that the light golden pattern on it was extremely beautiful. It was obvious that the person was of high status and position.

It would be nice if I could just touch it.

Bai Gaoxing felt a little regretful, and then he heard a "click" sound, and the man actually reached out and opened the cage door!

Assistant! Where is the assistant? Is there anyone in charge?!

Bai Gaoxing felt the cage being lifted up, and his vision also rose from the man's waist to his face.

He was stunned.

This is a man who is...more handsome than all the others.

The other person was wearing a dark purple robe, with long black hair hanging down smoothly. A strand of hair hung down on the side of his face, making his face look cold and stern, his eyebrows and eyes sharp, and the curve of his pursed lips looked like a sharp blade.

Kind of nice looking, and kind of... familiar?

"Dabai." He heard the man call him.

Bai Gaoxing's heart shuddered.

It was actually him! ?

Bai Gaoxing's eyes drifted away and he blew two whistles softly. He was not at all embarrassed or ashamed for almost not recognizing the owner.

But then, all the longing that had accumulated over the past few days burst out at once, and my heart felt sour and hot, and even my nose and eyes became a little wet.

The aviation box was a little slippery after tilting. He tried to climb up and poked his head out. "Gah."

Li Pu lowered his eyes and looked at him, examining him closely as if he too missed him.

After a while, "You seem to have gained weight again."

Bai Gaoxing: “…”

The emotion I felt just now was definitely fake!!
