Chapter 92
Once again got in the car.
But he was the co-pilot.
Bai Gaoxing looked at Li Pu who was texting in the driver's seat. He did not disturb him and looked down for the seat belt subconsciously.
However, before he could find where the seat belt was, an arm reached out from the front and helped him pull it over and buckle it up.
Bai Gaoxing was stunned for a moment, a little dazed.
The car started up and made a humming sound.
He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the man next to him, "Thank you. But I can do this too!"
Li Pho held the steering wheel, looked straight ahead, and asked casually, "Is there anything you don't know how to do?"
Bai Gaoxing immediately replied: "Cooking."
Li Piao: “…”
I understand, you greedy guy.
The scene outside the window began to recede. Bai Gaoxing leaned close to the car window and looked outside, his eyes full of excitement.
Finally it’s out!
When he was a parrot, he couldn't go out shopping with Le Pho, not only because Le Pho was a public figure, but also because it was difficult for pets to enter various places. Moreover, he later acted in a play and appeared on TV shows, and people were familiar with him, so going out became even more impossible.
Sometimes, he regretted becoming famous, otherwise he could have found an opportunity to open the window and fly out.
But now that he is a human being, he can disguise himself with Li Pu and become a free passerby!
Bai Gaoxing wanted to raise his hands and cheer in the car, but he held back because the movement was too big. He caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the rearview mirror, standing downstairs of Li Pu's house. "Hey, is that your assistant?"
Li Phou did not answer and just stepped on the accelerator.
…
"... That is to say, you were so surprised yesterday that you forgot to reply to his message, so he came to see you." After listening to Li Pu's detailed account, Bai Gaoxing pondered for a moment, "Then why don't you let him come and see it!"
Otherwise it would cause more worry.
Considering Li Pho’s “dark history”, it is completely understandable that the assistant was frightened.
At that time, the two had already parked the car in front of the shopping mall. After locking the car, Li Pu glanced at him with a complicated expression.
Oh! Bai Gaoxing suddenly remembered that the main reason why the assistant was not allowed to come was because of him.
It is difficult to explain why there is an extra person in the house, let alone Li Pu who seldom interacts with outsiders... It is an unsolvable problem no matter how you look at it.
Bai Gaoxing coughed softly and trotted over to Li Pu's side. "So...what did you tell him?"
"Tell him I'm outside and can't come back for a while, and tell him not to look for me." Li Pu said, and then helplessly, "But it's too late."
Indeed.
Bai Gaoxing thought of the figure that had already arrived downstairs. If they were a minute later, they would have bumped into that person.
By then... ha, it's hard to explain.
Bai Gaoxing couldn't help but be distracted. The fact that he had turned into a human had already kept him awake for the entire day. And this was the owner who was with him every day. If it was Assistant Mei who was afraid of birds...
You won't get scared, will you?
Bai Gaoxing's heart suddenly rose in his chest, and then he thanked God for the loss, "Fortunately he didn't see it - um." He bumped into the man's back.
Bai Gaoxing, who didn't notice when the man stopped, covered his nose and asked, "Why did he stop suddenly?"
"Let's go this way." Li Pu pulled him in another direction.
Bai Gaoxing turned around and saw that there was a square in front of the large shopping mall. There seemed to be some event going on in the square. Several people were holding very pink microphones and mobile phones with two small hearts on them, as if they were conducting an interview.
Wow!
This time, without Li Pu's reminder, Bai Gaoxing took the initiative to pull the brim of his hat lower and even pushed the man forward.
The air conditioning in the mall is turned on very high.
Feeling the warm breeze blowing towards him, Bai Gaoxing sighed and began to look around.
The lights in the mall were bright, and there were people coming and going even during the day. In the noisy environment, almost no one noticed them except the staff.
This couldn't be better, it shows that Li Pu's disguise is very effective. It would be embarrassing if someone recognized him.
Bai Gaoxing adjusted the mask on his face and looked up at Li Pu. He had always been curious about what it was like for him to go out shopping, as if he had never been caught before - for example, his clothes were torn, his hat and mask were thrown away, and he came home in a shambles.
Now look... well, it's serious.
If it weren't for the fact that after wrapping him up, one could still tell from his outline that he was a handsome man, there might have been a risk of the police being called.
And luckily it’s winter.
In a short period of time, Bai Gaoxing saw many people wearing masks and cotton hats, which made them less conspicuous.
Bai Gaoxing's gaze turned to the counters not far away again. Having been away from human society for too long, everything he saw was new to him now, and he wished he could visit every counter one by one.
He tugged at Li Pu's clothes and said, "Shall we go shopping over there?" Then he walked towards there without waiting for a response.
But Li Pu pulled her back and said, "Go buy some clothes first."
"Okay!" Bai Gaoxing was stunned, and tugged at his ill-fitting clothes. Because he wore thick clothes in winter, his whole body was bulging like a loaf of bread. "Which floor is the clothes on?"
Li Pu, who had only bought food on the basement floor of the mall, said: "..."
Finally, the two stood in front of the shopping mall sign.
According to the signboard, the entire mall has six floors. They are currently on the first floor, mainly selling gold and silver jewelry, and clothing is on the second floor.
However……
"Let's go to the third floor!" Bai Gaoxing said.
As expected. Li Pu looked at the food area on the third floor written on the map and was not surprised at all.
But at this time, his attitude was very firm: "Go to the second floor."
"Okay..." His tone was a little disappointed.
Li Pu paused slightly and tightened his grip on the boy's wrist.
He had to admit that he felt a little soft-hearted at that moment.
But it doesn't work.
He had long noticed that the boy was always poking his head around, and his little movements and habits were exactly the same as when he was still a parrot, which made him involuntarily have the illusion that the boy would run away at will.
...probably not an illusion.
After all, this kind of thing has happened before.
Thinking about those times when he was frightened, Li Pu looked down at the boy, then looked away after seeing his eyes full of expectation and joy.
The two followed the crowd up the escalator. Bai Gaoxing looked around happily, while Li Pu subconsciously moved closer to him, almost holding him in his arms.
Only when they reached the second floor did Li Pu quietly step back a few steps.
Looking at the boy walking in front of him, he just realized that he no longer needed a bird bag or a flying rope, and he didn't have to worry about too many people around and scaring Dabai.
Because Baymax is already a human...
Thinking of this, Li Pu felt his head buzzing again.
"Why don't you leave?"
Bai Gaoxing was walking when he suddenly noticed that there was no one beside him. He turned around quickly and was relieved to see that Li Pu was not lost.
Li Pu sighed helplessly and quickened his pace to catch up.
This way you won’t get lost, which is not bad.
…
"Welcome."
I walked into a clothing counter and the saleslady came up to me and asked me enthusiastically, "Who are you buying clothes for?"
Bai Gaoxing had already walked in to look around, and Li Pu gestured, "Give it to him."
Although the boy was wearing ill-fitting clothes, his figure showed that he was a clothes hanger. The experienced salesperson's eyes lit up and she immediately used her expertise to select a bunch of clothes to match him. She then asked, "Do you need shoes?"
She noticed that the young man's shoes were also ill-fitting.
"Give me a few pairs too. And some socks." Li Pu nodded.
Bai Gaoxing was happily shopping when a shopping guide suddenly handed him a basket of clothes. "The gentleman has selected clothes for you. Our fitting room is over there."
Bai Gaoxing held the clothes in his arms, looked at Li Pu in confusion, tilted his head to express doubt. After receiving a nod in response, he immediately turned around and strode into the fitting room.
Inside the store, the salesperson who finally welcomed the distinguished customer sincerely praised the customer: "You are so kind to your brother."
Li Pu was silent for a moment: "...Not my brother."
The salesperson understood, "Oh, sorry, I meant to say, you are so nice to your boyfriend!"
Li Piao: “…”
I really haven't thought about how to introduce his relationship with Dabai to the outside world, even if I say they are owner and pet... No, that's weird.
Seeing that Li Pu seemed to agree with this, the shopping guide covered his mouth with his hand to suppress his laughter.
She just knew it!
I'm afraid it's too offensive so I'm talking about my younger brother first. So, is this considered a boyfriend shirt? A complete set from head to toe? So fun!!
Just as the two of them were lost in their own thoughts, Bai Gaoxing came out of the fitting room and asked, "How is it?"
Because I'm currently trying on an inner layer like a sweater, the boy's youthful and upright figure is exposed, and the color of his wrists and neck is moist and delicate under the warm light. Although he is still wearing a hat and a mask, the feeling is completely different.
Li Pu pondered for a moment and said, "Change your sweater to a turtleneck."
Bai Gaoxing lowered his head and tugged at his collar, smiling: "Low collars are quite cold." Then he turned to the salesperson and said politely: "Sister, can you give me the high collar one?"
The salesperson quickly handed out the clothes and took the hat from the model next to him, "Brother, try this one, it looks great!"
Bai Gaoxing immediately took off his hat, and his fluffy white hair was exposed under the light. It was so pure and dazzling that the shopping guide was stunned for a moment.
He moved too quickly, and before Li Pu could even say "wait", he had already put on the one in the shopping guide's hand.
"Does it look good?" Bai Gaoxing ran to the mirror and looked around. His expression froze when he noticed that there was white hair showing under the hat.
Oops…
Bai Gaoxing found that he had not yet realized that he was a bird man, or rather, the time was too short and he had not yet remembered that he was no longer the same as before.
Bai Gaoxing stuffed his hair inside silently and looked at Li Pu for help, receiving a shake of his head from the latter.
He looked at the salesperson again, hoping desperately that he had not scared her.
Unexpectedly, the salesperson said with a look of emotion, "Your hair is dyed very cool!"
That’s great. I’m considered a spirited young man.
Bai Gaoxing breathed a sigh of relief, said "thank you" with a smile, and went into the fitting room to change clothes.
The shopping guide matched more than a dozen sets of clothes for him, but after only changing into five or six sets, Bai Gaoxing felt a little tired.
He poked his head out of the fitting room and said, "Can I stop trying on these clothes? I think these are enough."
Li Pu nodded and said, "Please pack all of these up."
“Do you want something you haven’t tried yet?” the salesperson asked.
"right."
Bai Gaoxing was stunned.
"Wait," he ran up to the man, "is that too much?"
Li Pu said calmly: "You will be living at home anyway, so buy a few more so that you can change clothes easily."
Listen, what a boyfriend!
The salesperson was writing the order and was amazed. She was envious and said sincerely, "I wish you happiness."
Bai Gaoxing: “???”
After leaving the store, Bai Gaoxing asked Li Pu in confusion: "What did she just say?"
Li Pho: "Maybe it's because I'm happy today."
Bai Gaoxing: “Oh…” That’s right, they bought so much, they are all sales!
After buying clothes, I went to the fourth floor to buy daily necessities.
Bai Gaoxing decided to do it himself this time. After all, they were going to be used in the future, so he had to choose carefully.
As for Li Pho...he followed behind and was responsible for pushing the cart.
Just as Bai Gaoxing was squatting in front of the shelf choosing a toothbrush, Li Pu's cell phone rang.
"Brother Li!"
As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard an extremely panicked and hurried voice, "Where are you?"
"Outside." Li Pu said, "I sent you a message, did you see it?"
"I saw it, I saw it." Mei Youshu said in a strong voice, and then asked carefully: "...Are you okay?"
"Nothing." Li Pu lowered his eyes and glanced at the boy not far away, then walked to the end of the shelf. "Sorry, I forgot to reply to you yesterday."
"Don't worry, don't worry. I just hope you're okay." Mei Youshu seemed to be completely relieved. "I was scared to death... I couldn't sleep the whole night."
I don't know why, but I felt like laughing when I heard this. Li Pu thought that as someone who also didn't sleep all night, the assistant's words were like facing reality with him.
He coughed and said, "Then you should have a good rest. I have something else to do here, so I'll hang up now."
"Wait a minute!" Mei Youshu suddenly raised his voice.
Li Pu paused and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mei Youshu hesitated for a while before saying, "Brother Li, when are you going back?"
Li Pu was alert. "What do you want?"
"I... uh, it's actually nothing, I just want to confirm it with my own eyes." Mei Youshu said, "Otherwise I won't feel at ease!"
Li Phou: "I can video chat with you."
Unexpectedly, these words made Mei Youshu's voice even more urgent, "Brother Li, Sister Li has been away for the past few days, I have to, I have to fulfill my duties!"
Suddenly he understood why. Li Pu glanced at his phone. He had never initiated a video call, which made Da Shu feel that there was something wrong.
After a long silence, he said, "In the evening."
And he also used a strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain, so that he wouldn't have to worry about his assistant guarding the door all the time. "By the way, bring me another copy of the script, the previous one got accidentally stained with water."
"Okay. I'll go over tonight."
The phone was hung up. This work was created by
Li Pu turned off his phone and turned to the boy who had come over. "Have you finished choosing?"
Bai Gaoxing nodded, but he was more concerned about what he had just heard, so he asked carefully, "What if he finds out?"
Li Pu thought for a moment and said, "I can find a chance to explain it to him."
"puff."
"What are you laughing at?" Li Pu looked at the boy with puzzlement as he suddenly smiled with his eyes crooked.
"I remembered Gao Xing..." Bai Gao Xing wiped his eyes that were filled with tears from laughing, and said seriously, "I don't mind telling them about this, but the question is, will they believe it?"
Li Pho fell silent.
In connection with the fact that he is going to see a psychiatric department, if this matter is made public, it will probably confirm the fact that he should go to a psychiatric department.
Bai Gaoxing thought so too.
So he said, "For your personal safety, um... don't rush, take your time."
Bai Gaoxing knew very well that even if he could use many excuses to conceal his identity from the outside world, his identity would sooner or later be revealed among Li Pu's close interpersonal relationships, such as agents and assistants.
And if I want to continue to move freely around Li Pho, I also need the help of these people.
However, it will definitely destroy their worldview and cause a major impact...in short, it is called a creative takeoff.
Bai Gaoxing suddenly felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "Look, I took this toothbrush. This one is very useful. Buy two and get toothpaste for free! It's a good opportunity to exchange it for you, right?"
One black and one white, typical couple colors.
Li Pu looked at the pile of daily necessities in the cart and felt that he had bought almost everything, so he asked, "Let's go to the third floor?"
Bai Gaoxing's eyes lit up instantly, "Okay!"
The two of them pushed the cart towards the elevator, but were surprised to find that more and more people were looking at them. Li Pu had a vague feeling of uneasiness and could not help but quicken his pace.
But the next second, a voice sounded from behind, followed by the camera and microphone.
"Couple in front! Wait a minute! Phew... I finally caught up with you."
"Excuse me, could you accept our interview?"
