Chapter 91

It was four o'clock in the morning when Bai Gaoxing woke up.

He stared at the ceiling for a long time, listening to the light breathing beside him, then slowly stretched his hand out from under the quilt and raised it in front of his eyes.

Because he remembered in his dream that he was no longer a parrot, he woke up and was no longer sleepy.

He really turned back into a human.

After identifying the outline of the palm in the dim light, Bai Gaoxing did the same action to confirm it as when he first came here - he bit his finger.

I felt the pain, so it wasn't a dream.

After realizing this, Bai Gaoxing could no longer lie down - it would take another two hours to wait for Li Pu to wake up, so he might as well get up and do something else.

So she gently lifted the quilt, tried not to make any noise, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.

Before closing the door, he glanced at Li Pho with satisfaction. The man who had been sleeping lightly did not wake up. Good, there was progress.

For the first time, Bai Gaoxing saw Li Pu's home from a human perspective.

The curtains in the living room were only drawn with a thin layer of gauze, which allowed a little light from the window to come in. My eyes had already adapted to the darkness, so I could almost see the entire living room clearly.

Sofa, coffee table, aquarium, electronic screen, and what he is most familiar with...bird cage.

To be honest, when he saw the bird cage, he instinctively wanted to fly to the top of it.

Bai Gaoxing looked at his hands again and thought that this was definitely not possible.

It’s a pity that this cage is a deluxe version, and the hammock on it is very comfortable.

He has basically mastered the control of his body. Except for the fact that he stumbles easily when running, all other movements are no problem. Bai Gaoxing walked briskly, feeling that the exercise yesterday afternoon was very effective, but because he was too involved, he didn't have much concrete feeling about the transformation into a human.

Calculating the time...only about ten hours have passed. Excluding the time spent sleeping, the time I truly felt as a human being is only a few hours.

Therefore, his mind was clear on one hand, but still confused on the other.

But what concerned him the most and puzzled him the most was actually Li Pho's reaction.

The other party seemed to accept his transformation into a human very calmly, without showing too much surprise, and the first thing he thought of was to find clothes for him...

Bai Gaoxing made some speculation on his own. If this is the case, does it mean that men’s ability to accept things is amazing?

Well, you are worthy of being Li Po!

After sorting out his thoughts, Bai Gaoxing tiptoed to the balcony again.

The temperature was even colder in the middle of the night, but luckily he was wrapped in that thick plush pajamas - it seemed that this piece of clothing was his by default. And there were slippers, Li Pu also found him a pair, they were very new, and it was obvious that no one had worn them before.

Bai Gaoxing looked down at his feet. Considering that there were usually no guests at Li Pu's house, the prepared slippers were mostly for assistants to wear. It was really difficult for him to find a brand new pair.

He originally wanted to say, just wear his clothes for what you want.

Bai Gaoxing exhaled a breath of hot air, turned around and saw the electronic screen he often operated.

This thing...

I miss you so much.

I just opened it a day ago, but it feels like a long time ago.

Bai Gaoxing reached out his hand excitedly and touched the power button again and again.

However, starting from today, he no longer has to play secretly, but can play openly!

First let him think about how to tell Li Pu...Hello, I am very interested in your computer?

Bai Gaoxing sat down on the sofa and was in a daze for a while, thinking aimlessly. Then he busied himself back and forth. When the clock hand moved two notches, he quietly returned to the bedroom.

Originally, he should have continued to sleep for a while, and wait until dawn when he was fully awake to discuss with Li Pho what to do. However, before climbing onto the bed, he glanced at the figure on the bed for some reason, then walked around the bed and came to the side where he could see Li Pho.

Sleep so soundly.

Bai Gaoxing blinked, felt tired of standing, and slowly squatted down, sat on the ground with his face in his hands, and continued to look at the man's sleeping face.

Only at this moment can one see the other person's gentle and relaxed look, but his brows are still slightly wrinkled... Is he very tired? Or did he have an unhappy dream? Bai Gaoxing sketched Li Pu's eyebrows and eyes in the air, and then retracted his hand in a few seconds.

It seems like he's about to wake up.

Bai Gaoxing looked at Li Pu nervously and saw him suddenly open his eyes, sit up, and look a little weird.

It felt weird... But he still looked at her and said hello: "You're awake!"

An atmosphere that is difficult to describe in words spread at this moment.

Bai Gaoxing waited for Li Pu to reply, but he didn't expect that he just looked at him and lay back down with the quilt.

Bai Gaoxing: “???”

Gao Xing was surprised that Li Pu lay down when he saw him, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought that the man was too tired and wanted to take a nap, so he said, "Then you sleep for a while. I'll make you some water. Or coffee? I've made it too."

As he spoke, Bai Gaoxing stood up and walked towards the door, his slippers making slight rustling sounds on the floor.

He must not be awake yet.

Lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Li Pu tried to wake himself up in the real world by falling asleep again, but it didn't work. His biological clock formed over the years was extremely strong, and he slept longer than usual last night, so he couldn't fall asleep.

Li Pu opened his eyes again. Although he had thought about hiring someone to help at home, that was a thought a few years ago when he just moved out. Since he was used to living alone and could cook for himself, he gave up the idea.

It's not necessary to...implement this idea on Baymax.

Looking at the hazy morning light outside the window, Li Pu took a deep breath. He still had a lot of work to do and couldn't let himself indulge in the illusory world. He had to wake up quickly, recover, and then go to the hospital for a checkup.

...until a strong aroma of coffee wafted from outside.

Well, this is not a dream.

Li Pu, who was sitting at the dining table, was completely awake. He first looked at the coffee in front of him, then looked at the white-haired boy sitting opposite him with a complicated expression, "...Dabai?"

“…”

"It's me."

Finally realizing that Li Pu was unable to accept the reality by lying back down, Bai Gaoxing's forehead twitched. He was like, how could a person be so calm? It turned out that he just regarded yesterday as a dream!

He stood up while holding onto the table, and said in a serious tone, "It's true. The parrot you raised has turned into a human. I am Dabai."

…It seems that the truth hit him harder.

Bai Gaoxing looked at the man whose expression changed slightly and whose eyes seemed to lose focus because of this sentence, and pinched his fingers unnaturally, "Anyway... this kind of thing is hard to believe. I didn't believe it before... It's normal to think it's a prank or a dream."

He exhaled and looked the man in the face. "If you want to ask any questions... I'll tell you everything I know."

Bai Gaoxing was already prepared. No matter what Li Pu wanted to know, even if it was about his past, he could tell him.

Or can we confirm his identity from the details? For example, the process of filming movies and variety shows, his daily routine when he is on vacation at home, the dishes that are most often served on the table... Oh, yes, he also knows what size underwear Li Po wears!

Bai Gaoxing looked at Li Pu nervously, waiting for the man to ask the question that concerned him most.

After a long while, he saw the man speak, his voice was low and gentle, "...Can you use a coffee machine?"

"……?"

Bai Gaoxing didn't expect the first question to be this. He was silent for a moment and said, "Yes."

Li Pu nodded, "Okay."

Bai Gaoxing had a puzzled look on his face.

It was not until he saw the man walking towards the bathroom and heard the sound of the faucet being turned on that he came to his senses and said, "I want to take a shower too!"

…

Finally, two figures, one tall and one short, stood in front of the mirror.

Bai Gaoxing took the disposable toothbrush that Li Pu found for him from the cabinet under the sink and stared at the face in the mirror in a daze.

This was the first time he looked carefully at himself after transforming from a parrot back into a human. It felt both familiar and strange.

Although the face is almost the same as before... after all, there are still some differences.

Bai Gaoxing cried and pulled a handful of his hair, whispering: "Why do I have fewer gray hairs? Wuwu..."

Li Pu, who was brushing his teeth, stopped and looked down. "Hmm?"

"It's okay!" Bai Gaoxing quickly let go of his hair, but his eyes were still looking up.

Oh... I don't have to worry about not finding it when I go out in the future, it's just like the reflective strips.

Bai Gaoxing was brushing his teeth, but he couldn't help but move closer to the mirror, looking around, trying to see if he had any

Other things that are different from normal people.

On the side, Li Pu took in all the boy's movements.

Maybe it's the instinct of parrots to look at mirrors, he thought, and then he found a new towel and put it on the pole that originally only had his own towel.

…

Today, Li Phou was in no mood to go for a morning run, so the whole morning seemed to last very long.

Bai Gaoxing had noticed the man's gaze several times, and couldn't help but walk up to him and lean over slightly: "If you don't believe me, you can touch it. It's real! Didn't you touch it yesterday?"

All right.

Li Pu thought to himself that he just felt that it would take him a long time to accept this reality.

Moreover, Dabai, who had difficulty walking yesterday, could use the coffee machine today… just like a chick that quickly adapted to the environment after hatching. This reminded him of the zebras and deer on the prairie, who had to learn to walk and run quickly in order to survive.

Confirm again...

Thinking of this, Li Pu really stretched out his hand, "Dabai."

Bai Gaoxing placed his chin on it skillfully and rubbed it.

Li Pho looked at him quietly.

Instantly, Bai Gaoxing's eyes widened, his cheeks turned pink, and he jumped back as if he had received an electric shock. "I can explain this, but... who told you to tease me all the time!"

Li Pho twirled his fingertips and felt that there was no need to explain this matter.

A hint of smile appeared in his eyes involuntarily, but then disappeared. "Are you hungry? I'll go cook."

Breakfast is noodles.

Instead of going downstairs, he made breakfast at home. Bai Gaoxing picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and put it into his mouth expectantly, and then his face changed.

Oh, he can use chopsticks. Li Pu, who had been paying attention to the boy, thought to himself, and then noticed his expression, "What's wrong?"

"This noodles..." Bai Gaoxing didn't know whether he should say it or not. After all, the other person worked hard to cook for him, and he still had to give his opinion...

But he still said, "Is it without salt?"

Oh, you also know what salt is. Li Pu nodded, "You shouldn't eat salt?"

!!! It’s not necessary!

Bai Gaoxing looked at him sincerely, "I am a human being now, I can eat!"

Li Pu paused for a moment while holding the chopsticks. "Okay, I'll put it in next time."

Bai Gaoxing: "Also... I want to eat something else..."

Seeing the boy's expectant eyes, Li Pu asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Bai Gaoxing: "KFC."

Li Piao: “…”

He thought about the takeaway that used to hang on the doorknob and the food he ordered through the food delivery app.

So you've been wanting to eat it for a long time?

However, it was still too greasy to eat in the morning, so Li Pu agreed to buy some at noon.

Bai Gaoxing narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and stood up to clear the dishes.

Li Pu watched his movements until he turned around and walked to the kitchen before he spoke: "What are you doing?"

Bai Gaoxing was stunned for a moment, "Wash the dishes."

He is still very self-conscious. As a bird, he could not do much but tried his best to maintain hygiene. Now that he has become a human, it is still easy for him to do housework.

Apart from cooking, he is very good at doing housework!

When Li Pu looked at Bai Gaoxing, a series of folk legends such as "The Snail Girl" popped up in his mind.

After a while, he sighed and took the bowl from the boy's hand, "You don't have to do this."

"No need?" Bai Gaoxing watched Li Pu walk into the kitchen and followed him eagerly, "I can wash it. I won't break the bowl."

Li Pu put down the bowl in his hand, walked to a place and pressed a button, "This is a dishwasher."

Bai Gaoxing nodded blankly.

Although he had not used this machine often before... After all, he was the only one at home, and he could not cook too many meals, and the dishes did not take up much space, so he could wash them easily.

But now it's different.

Li Pu glanced at the young man and briefly taught him how to use it.

After a while, Li Phou put on his coat.

"Are you going out?" Bai Gaoxing was sitting on the sofa with his arms around the backrest, and looked at the man when he heard the voice.

"Yeah." Li Pu responded. He thought a lot, especially about how Dabai should live after becoming an adult. The first thing he had to do was to deal with daily necessities. Then, while he was free today, he planned to go to the mall.

Looking at the curious boy on the sofa, he said, "Wait at home, I'll be back soon."

However--

"I'm going, I'm going, I'm going too!"

The young man jumped off the sofa like flying, grabbed the man's clothes tightly, and said, "Take me with you!"

Bai Gaoxing suddenly remembered that he hadn't really gone out for a long time. Not the kind of going out to film a movie, but the kind of going out in the true sense of being free and able to express his own wishes.

So he begged sincerely: "Please!"

Li Pho was defeated by the attack of these two star-eyed men.

"Okay," he said, and then he found a cap and a mask, both in black.

Li Pu carefully tucked Bai Gaoxing's hair in as much as possible, making it look like a light color dyed by a rebellious young man.

"Okay." He pulled down the boy's cap.

Even with so many things covering up, in Li Pu's eyes, the boy's appearance was still eye-catching.

Because there was no suitable clothing, the boy could only wear his own, with his trousers rolled up several times. The clothing was also very loose, and those who didn't know would think it was hip-hop, but the style was quite serious.

And these eyes...

Li Pu looked at the boy's snow-colored eyelashes and pulled his hat down again.

"We're going to be unable to see!" Bai Gaoxing protested.

When they were about to leave, they both heard their cell phones vibrating.

Li Pu took out his cell phone and took a look, and found that it was a 99 message from his assistant Mei Youshu.

He had not been in the mood to check his phone since yesterday, and after sending the message "No thanks", he stopped paying attention to the message. He did not expect that the other party would persevere and send him so many messages.

Li Pu frowned involuntarily and started reading the message from the beginning.

[Brother Li, you really don't need it? ]

[Brother Li, what happened? ]

【Brother Li, if you see this, please reply to me.】

…

[Brother Li, don't be like this, I'm scared! ]

[Brother Li! Please say something. Why didn’t you answer my call? ]

…

[Brother Li, there has been no news all night, I am really worried. I will go over and check now.]

Time: 10 minutes ago.

Bai Gaoxing saw Li Pu's face gradually becoming solemn, and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, "What's wrong?"

The next second, Li Pu grabbed him by the waist and led him out, obviously in a hurry, "Hurry up."

Bai Gaoxing: ???

Just like that, he quickened his pace all the way to the car, and then Li Pu sent two messages to his assistant:

【No need to come. 】

【I'm outside.】
