Chapter 9

As the psychiatrist who was specifically responsible for Li Pho, An Xin had the following deep impression of this VIP patient:

Have strong self-regulation ability, and no major mental problems but prone to insomnia.

It's not like he hasn't come across cases of actors who were too absorbed in their roles, and he's also received psychological counseling from some artists, but he's the first person like Li Pho who was able to slowly come out of it on his own.

However, Mr. Li’s condition is still not stable enough in theory. If he continues like this, people are worried that he will be able to retire gloriously before the age of 30. After all, there have been precedents of people getting too involved in a role and causing regrets.

As for why he comes to the hospital for consultation regularly every week, it is entirely because of the strong request of his agent and it is out of his responsible attitude towards the artist.

I can guess... probably because they are worried that Mr. Lai will be too stubborn and put too much pressure on himself, which will lead to the accumulation of sequelae.

But according to consultations over the past few years, Le Pho's overall condition is not serious, and he is still strong enough to kill a cow. There is only one thing: this actor Le really needs a companion.

He never thought that today, he would actually see evidence that Li Pu had pets on him.

"What kind of bird do you raise? Its feathers are so long - a goose?"

Li Pu pinched the feather off and stared at it for a long time. "It's a parrot."

"A parrot."

An Xin sighed meaninglessly.

I don't know how many times I have advised Li Pu to raise a lively and cute pet. Whether it is a spiritual sustenance or a distraction to prevent him from being overly immersed in it, it is a good idea.

But this person always uses the excuse of not having time as an excuse and refuses to take the medicine no matter how hard or soft it is.

Although they are just some tranquilizers and sleep aids... medicine is medicine after all, and taking them for too long is not good for you.

He immediately changed the subject, "Let's get down to business. The situation is much better than before. Fortunately, the subject you photographed last time was not something weird."

Otherwise it would take even longer. He still remembered that the last time there was a script about a double-faced killer with split personality, and the last time before that there was a script about animals turning into humans, and the last time before that... The strange simulation experience took Li Pu a long time to come out of the story... So why are these kinds of bizarre movies so popular now?

An Xin twisted the pen between his fingers and said casually, "Why did you listen to my advice and raise a pet this time? Did you suddenly come to your senses?"

“A friend gave it to me.”

"Then I must thank this friend." An Xin stared at Li Pu for a moment and smiled. //

Li Pu did not comment.

After that, there was another comprehensive psychological consultation. The two of them went through the process with ease, and An Xin sat in front of the computer again to input the diagnosis.

"Insomnia?"

“A little.”

"...There's no need to be humble at this time." An Xin raised his eyes and looked at the light blue in the eyes of the man in front of him, which was hidden by the thick-framed glasses. The fact was obvious.

Li Pho remained silent. Although he went to bed at nine o'clock, he could not deny that he tossed and turned until midnight.

But it's better than the sleepless nights I used to have.

An Xin also thought of this, and wrote a prescription, "Let's just take the same medicine as before."

"However, it's best to reduce your dependence on medication." He paused and handed over the list. "I hope you'll have fully recovered by the time you come back next time."

Li Pu took the list and nodded.

…

At this time, at home.

Bai Gaoxing stared at the flashing laptop charging light under the coffee table - after seeing Li Pu's mobile phone, he suddenly remembered the uncleared computer browsing history that he had forgotten.

Li Pho had not turned on his computer for several days, which made him feel relieved, but he also did not deny that this matter was like a bomb that could explode at any time... He didn't even know whether Li Pho had opened the historical records.

Or... take this opportunity to destroy the evidence?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Bai Gaoxing rejected it. With his current physical condition, he would definitely not be able to move the notebook out of the drawer.

But Bai Gaoxing still tried hard to take out the laptop by biting the power cord, and let go before he almost bit it off.

He stared silently at the deep mark left on it, grabbed a napkin and threw it underneath to cover it.

Sorry, if there is any problem he will try his best to compensate, but he has to promise that he will not be turned into a roasted parrot by Li Pho.

Being alone at home was too boring, so Bai Gaoxing went to the balcony to look at the scenery for a while, then he dug out the remote control from the crack in the sofa and turned on the TV to watch.

Although it was not his original world, the TV programs were still similar. After flipping through some news and cartoons, Bai Gaoxing stopped when he saw a TV drama.

It’s nothing, it’s just because the actors above look familiar.

Isn’t this Li Pho?

Bai Gaoxing stared at the man for a long time. His face was slightly different from what he usually saw due to the makeup. His eyes had also changed to a strange color, and he was wearing a black windbreaker...

All in all, it is obvious that this is not a film with an ordinary background.

It has to be said that Li Pho is very photogenic, with a handsome face and slender figure, which can make people stunning from any angle. Especially in this strange drama, it adds a bit of mystery to him.

…and then watched him turn into a black cat.

Mysterious indeed.

Bai Gaoxing was stunned by the special effects.

I never expected that Li Pho would shoot an urban fantasy drama, but this subject matter is inexplicably suitable for him... Maybe it has something to do with the fantasy reality that Li Pho is currently experiencing - for example, his parrot is actually a human who traveled through time.

Because it was played by Li Pho, Bai Gaoxing just watched it and became gradually fascinated until he heard someone opening the door. He quickly poked the power button of the remote control with his mouth and jumped off the sofa to greet him.

Just before turning off the TV, the plot on the screen was stuck at the moment when the man revealed his identity, lowered his eyes and said, "Actually, I'm not a human..."

Li Pu walked in and casually placed the keys and the bag in his hand on the table in front of the aquarium. He then took off his mask and glasses and hung them on the wall nearby.

Bai Gaoxing flew onto the table curiously, trying to see what was in the bag. However, before he could open it, Li Pu picked up the bag again and walked back to the bedroom.

So mysterious.

Bai Gaoxing suddenly thought of the TV series he had just watched. The bag definitely did not contain any health products, because he smelled a very obvious smell of disinfectant on Li Pu.

Seeing Li Pu turn into the bedroom, Bai Gaoxing immediately followed him and

I thought I would be turned away like before, but this time the bedroom door was open and I heard the rustling sound of someone changing clothes.

This was the first time Bai Gaoxing saw Li Pu's bedroom. He was stunned and did not go in directly. Instead, he peeped in stealthily.

The bedroom is decorated in a simple style, with warm tones that make people feel relaxed, which is completely different from the cold and aloof impression that Le Pho gives people. The sun shines into the room through the window, extremely bright, and the air is filled with a warm atmosphere. The coat that Le Pho just wore is hung on the wall, and the bag is placed on the bedside table.

Looking more closely, I saw a medicine box of similar color to the one in the bag lying there, and next to it was a half-drunk glass of water.

"Dabai?" Li Pu called him.

Bai Gaoxing ignored him and flapped his wings to fly towards the bedside table. When he finally landed on it, the clean and flat bed was also covered with a few strands of his hair.

His eyes finally fell on the box of medicine. On it was a line of words that he couldn't understand, but the words "Calming and Sleeping" written in the lower right corner were enough to prove what the function of this box of medicine was.

Bai Gaoxing's pupils trembled.

His owner is really sick!

Before, he was just suspicious. After all, it was not right that Li Pu often sat in a corner meditating quietly. It was not in line with the vitality that a man of his age should have. Now, combined with the medicines - there were only a few pills left in the box on the cabinet, and there were several boxes of identical medicines in the bag, which were obviously commonly used medicines. It was enough to infer that his cheap master had a long-term illness that needed treatment.

ah……

Bai Gaoxing strangely felt a little guilty.

Thinking about how he had been making a fuss these past few days, how he had insisted that the other person play with him, and how he had disturbed the other person's self-isolation, Bai Gaoxing felt deeply that he had hurt a patient.

no.

No way!

Bai Gaoxing looked at Li Pu in front of him seriously. This man needed care.

He couldn't bother him anymore.

It doesn’t matter, he can be self-reliant anyway, come on!

Bai Gaoxing thought about it seriously, but he didn't realize that Li Pu saw all the confusion in his mind.

Li Phou immediately became confused.

Dabai, who was fine before, became a little strange after flying into his bedroom and seeing the medicine on the bedside table.

Could it be that the smell of the medicine has an effect on the birds?

Li Pu's face darkened and he quickly tied the bag of medicine and stuffed it into the drawer together with the empty box.

Bai Gaoxing blinked to show that he understood.

I don't want to expose my pain in front of others.

Neither can birds.

understand.

He made a "click" sound, spread his wings, and flew out shakily.

The development of the matter was consistent with Bai Gaoxing's imagination.

At night, Li Pho sat in the corner of the sofa again and began to shut himself off.

He subconsciously stretched out his claws to test, but quickly retracted them.

He has to take care of the patient's mood.

Bai Gaoxing thought that Li Pu's life alone was already hard enough, and he couldn't cause any more trouble for him.

So he obediently crawled into the cage, looked at the food box and found that there was still one third of food left. He estimated that he could hold out until tomorrow, so he leaned against the edge of the cage and fell asleep.

It was nine o'clock again.

Bai Gaoxing, who had fallen asleep, did not notice that Li Pu, who had been sitting on the sofa in a daze for a long time, looked at the cage for a long time, slowly got up, and walked to the side of the cage.

There was a trace of bewilderment in those dark eyes, and then there was inquiry. After looking at the big parrot sleeping soundly in the cage for a long time, he quietly returned to the bedroom.

The phone lights up.

[Search: What should I do if my big parrot, which has just been home for three days, suddenly ignores me? ]

…

The next morning, Bai Gaoxing was once again awakened by angry cursing from downstairs.

“…”

I'm used to it.

Bai Gaoxing yawned and prepared to eat, when he turned around and saw Li Pu walking towards him with a bag of food.

He watched in amazement as the food box quickly became full, the faint aroma of grains, melon seeds, and nourishing pills wafting over him.

The sun rises from the west?

Bai Gaoxing tilted his head and looked at Li Pu. You know, in the past, he would only come over to get more rice when he was called. Why was he so proactive today?

However, this question could not be asked, because Li Pu left after refilling the food box, holding his mobile phone and sending messages to someone unknown.

[Dabai has psychological trauma, you have to take it slow, it's only been a few days. ]

[It has become very close to you. Just observe it for a while. Anyway, let it be happy.]

[It really doesn't work. I'll go and have a look after I'm done with this busy period. ]

Li Pu sighed inwardly, turned off the screen of his phone, and put it back in his pocket.

…

Get up, eat bird food, watch Li Pu go out for a morning run or buy groceries, quarrel with a bird downstairs, take a nap, steal someone's food, watch TV...

Li Pho's vacation life was too monotonous. Even retirement life was not as peaceful as this. The only difference was that his parents' attitude towards him had been getting better and better recently - for example, they would let him sneak a few more bites during meals.

But nothing can beat opening your mouth and chatting with people.

He is going crazy after holding it in for the past few days.

Bai Gaoxing was very careful about what he said. He didn't want to be taken away for dissection as a monster, nor did he want to repeat the same few words every day like a fool - and he was already tired of saying them. He could only talk to himself quietly in the dead of night or when no one was at home to prevent his language function from deteriorating.

The good news is that his language ability has improved instead of deteriorated. The bad news is that if he doesn't speak anymore, he might really suffer from trichotillomania.

After three days of this, Bai Gaoxing finally couldn't stand it anymore.

On this beautiful night, he flew to Li Pho and decided to confess.

He cleared his throat, carefully observed the man's expression, and said:

“Actually, I am a person.”
