Chapter 95

"How long has this been going on?"

"What?"

"Hypochondria."

In the living room, Wang Peter pointed at his head with an unusually deep look.

Li Pu and Bai Gaoxing sat at one end of the sofa, thousands of miles apart; while Wang Peter sat on a small bench, facing the two of them in the middle.

Wang Peter took a deep breath, "I know you..." Seeing Bai Gaoxing, he paused, "I know your situation, but you wouldn't use a young man as a substitute for Dabai, right?"

He looked at Bai Gaoxing again, "Well... your hair is the most natural and beautiful I've ever seen. You're so young, you can be a print model, or find a job, instead of wasting your youth on this."

Bai Gaoxing: “Pfft.”

Wang Peter: “What are you laughing at?”

Li Pu clasped his fingers together and sighed helplessly. When he told this story, he knew that his childhood friend would not believe it easily, but he did not expect that the fire would burn back on him.

"I know this is hard to believe. I was also shocked at first." Li Pu thought for a moment and turned his gaze to Bai Gaoxing, "How can I make you believe it?"

Wang Peter had an expression that said, "I'll just watch you make it up." "Unless he can tell us what happened in the shelter."

He hadn't even told Li Pu about those things.

The next second, the boy's clear voice came: "The shelter is 'La Maison des animaux'. The director is Marion, 40 years old. The cage next to me temporarily holds a lame blue cat and a Czech wolfhound that was just rescued."

Bai Gaoxing dug out the few memories of the parrot, not missing any details he remembered. Looking at Wang Peter's surprised eyes, he was nervous: "...Is that right?"

Silence.

Wang Peter: “…Is it really Dabai?” It can be heard that his brain is about to grow out.

He looked at the boy again. His snow-white hair was probably natural, without any color. His face was more delicate than the stars on the screen, especially the tuft of gray hair. He remembered it clearly because he wondered why it was not pure white. Even cosplay could not achieve such details. It couldn't be Li Pu's interest, facing a parrot?

Moreover, the boy used the phrase "the cage next to me", which sounded so real, as if it happened right there.

Well, it was indeed at the scene. Wang Peter thought that when he went to the pet shelter, he did notice the blue cat and the wolfhound that the boy mentioned. Apart from the pets in question, only the director and employees of the shelter knew about it.

Wang Peter ruffled his dazzling golden hair, but his expression was strangely calm. After a few breaths, he said, "I believe it."

Wow. Bai Gaoxing was amazed. He accepted it much faster than Li Pho!

Li Pu also showed a trace of surprise on his face, and couldn't help wondering if he was the one who was abnormal?

"So, what is your request to Dabai?" Facing the young man, Wang Peter said the nickname with difficulty.

"Register your household registration."

Li Piao uttered those three simple words.

Wang Peter wiped his face and said, "That's right, Dabai has no status now, so he can't do anything."

He thought about the relevant knowledge carefully. He had a birth certificate, but it was for a parrot. If he went to get one, he would be kicked out as a mental patient. The rest...it seemed like it could be proved by documents from the school or company? But Dabai definitely didn't have it.

As for other methods...

He paused, his eyes frighteningly deep, "Actually there is a simplest way."

"What?"

"If you two get married," Wang Peter said, "then you can let Dabai settle down with you."

Li Piao: “…”

Wang Peter laughed, "I was just kidding. I'll ask someone who knows more and I'll tell you when I get the answer."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "I feel a little dizzy. I'll go back first."

Li Piao also stood up to see him off.

After sending the people away, Bai Gaoxing looked at Li Pu and said, "We seem to have scared him...?"

"It's okay. He's always been very receptive." Li Pu seemed to have thought of something and turned around. "And he won't tell anyone about it."

It seemed like these words were specifically addressed to him, telling him not to worry...? Bai Gaoxing nodded in confusion: "Thank you."

Li Pu was slightly startled, then frowned, "No need to say that."

Bai Gaoxing smiled and moved to Li Pu's side.

Li Pu twirled his fingertips and suppressed the habitual urge to raise his hand to touch the boy's head. The next second, Peter Wang called.

"Da Lizi, I just had a dream while walking on the road. I dreamed that I saw Da Bai in human form when I went to look for you. Don't you think it's strange?"

Because he accidentally pressed the speakerphone button, Li Pu glanced at the boy next to him who was about to laugh out loud, and cruelly destroyed his shaky worldview: "That was not a dream."

…

After that, Bai Gaoxing asked Li Pu for permission to use the computer.

Watching the young man typing away at the computer at lightning speed, Li Pu, who was about to ask for the password, swallowed his words silently.

...When did he reveal the password to Dabai?

After a brief thought, Li Pu gave up and looked at the boy in the study again. Such a skilled posture... It was different to see it with your own eyes and from the surveillance video.

Li Pu specially poured a glass of water, and when he handed it over, the young man looked back warily.

At this moment, Bai Gaoxing was playing on the computer nervously.

The moment he touched the mouse, his body's memory was awakened. After clicking the mouse a few times awkwardly at first, he quickly mastered the more detailed operations and began surfing the Internet.

I have to say, it feels great to play on the computer openly. After quickly browsing various recent news, he looked at Li Pu who was not around and opened the search engine.

He searched again for the questions he had searched for when he was making the parrot.

Maybe it was to confirm it? Bai Gaoxing had always suspected that he had not searched thoroughly enough, but after this, he felt relieved.

——Then his attention quickly diverted, and while Li Pu was away, he secretly opened the Spark Platform.

I haven't posted a video in about three days. I wonder if my fans miss me...

Bai Gaoxing was a little nervous. According to his routine, fans were used to seeing Li Pu post videos every day when he didn't have a schedule, or even post more than one. He didn't know if they would be anxious waiting for him to suddenly stop posting videos this time...

Click on the backstage——

Oh no!

There are so many private messages, and every one I open is asking him why

Why haven't you posted a new video yet? I want to see Dabai and know how Dabai is doing recently. Is he sick, or...

In the front row, many black fans were jumping around and saying things like "You movie king can't even take care of a bird", "You must be dead after not posting for so many days", "Just find someone like him in a few days", etc., which made Bai Gaoxing very angry.

He was so angry that he posted a video to refute and slap these people in the face!

Bai Gaoxing placed the mouse on record, but before pressing it he suddenly reacted.

No, he is not a parrot now.

Shit! Then he will just be scolded for nothing? Or in other words, Li Pu will be scolded for nothing! ?

Bai Gaoxing found it hard to accept, and his eyes were a little sad. Now Li Pu didn't know that he had posted these videos, and he didn't know when to tell him - how about picking a time when Li Pu was in a good mood?

Bai Gaoxing sighed quietly.

It's so annoying. Suddenly, he feels that being a human isn't perfect either... He really wants to turn back into a bird, slap them in the face, then turn back into a human to type and mock them!

…

"Le Pho hasn't sent out sparks for three days? Besides this? Continue."

"Brother Li told me that he wanted to go to the psychiatric department, and asked me to find comics for him. But later he said that he didn't need to go to the psychiatric department. When I went to his house to see him yesterday, he was fine, but..."

All the way from the company to the parking lot, Lei Li walked very fast, while Mei Youshu followed closely behind, reporting what had happened in the past two days.

"But what?" Lei Li paused, and looked at him with an extremely serious look.

"But..." Mei Youshu described the scene he saw with lingering fear, "Brother Li's balcony was full of clothes, and the size and style were not his; there were a few pairs of shoes one size smaller in the shoe cabinet; the toothbrush and toothbrush cups in the bathroom seemed to have become two people's..."

Lei Li's eyes were like ice.

If it happened to other artists, she would think it was normal - she has experienced that - she would think she has become famous and start bringing people home, or even living together, and be photographed by paparazzi, causing the public relations department to be overwhelmed.

But this is Le Pho.

She can guarantee that even if artists all over the world are making trouble, Li Pho will never do such an outrageous thing.

The only explanation is...

Lei Li got in the car, fastened her seat belt, and said to the co-driver Mei Youshu, "Sit tight. Send him a message to tell him we're there."

"Oh, okay."

"What kind of comics?" she asked.

"That is..." Mei Youshu summarized the comics he had collected until midnight, "Pets turning into humans?"

At that time, Li Pu, who was making lunch at home, received a letter from his assistant.

【Da Shu: Brother Li, Sister Li and I will go there later.】

Li Pu looked at the two servings of rice that had been served on the table, then turned around and asked the boy to hide back in the room.

Bai Gaoxing learned his lesson this time and swore that he would not go out even if the roof was blown off.

"Well...even if you three start fighting, I won't go out!" he added.

"...I will find a chance to tell them about this." Li Pu said, "Just don't do it too suddenly."

It would be more credible for him to tell Dabai the truth rather than meeting him in person - maybe?

Li Pu had carefully considered whether he should tell Li Jie and Da Shu about this. These two were the people he trusted most in his work, just like he trusted his childhood friend Wang Peter. He was sure they could keep Da Bai's secret - he couldn't ignore Da Bai who had become a human, but suddenly there was such a person by his side and Da Bai was missing. If no one helped to cover it up, he alone would probably find it difficult to come up with a suitable reason to convince others. Instead, his closest assistants and agents would be the first to be suspicious...

What he can and must do is to prepare all the necessary conditions to allow Dabai to live here reasonably.

...Thinking about it this way, it would be more convenient for Baymax to become a human than a parrot, and he had many reasons to keep Baymax by his side.

Bai Gaoxing shifted the focus to another point, "Do you think they will believe you?"

Thinking about Wang Peter’s reaction, it seems... very suspenseful?

Li Pu said calmly: "I will try my best."

Bai Gaoxing nodded. He didn't mind telling others about his identity - on the contrary, he was very touched that Li Pu could think so much for him.

Besides...

Unless you have really seen something unscientific, no normal person would believe it even if you tell them!

Bai Gaoxing complained slightly in his heart.

The study door closed slowly. About ten minutes later, the doorbell rang and the second wave of guests of the day came into the house.

"Lee Pho."

Lei Li glanced at the man who opened the door. Her eyes were gentle, without the solemnity she had just had in the car. "How have you been these past few days?"

Li Pu looked at her and said calmly, "Not bad."

He looked at Mei Youshu behind Lei Li again, knowing that the random phone call that day might have frightened him, so he stepped aside to make way for the two of them, "Come in."

When Lei Li entered the room, she first looked at the balcony. There was no clothes as Mei Youshu mentioned. Then she looked at the dining table. "Did you just finish the meal?"

"Yes." Li Pu replied, "Would you like to eat together?"

"No need. I ate on the plane." Lei Li glanced at Mei Youshu, indicating that she didn't feel there was anything wrong with Li Pu.

The three of them sat on the sofa and looked at each other for a long time, and Lei Li spoke first.

"That day..." Lei Li remembered the phone call from Li Pu that morning very clearly, because in her opinion, that was the beginning of Li Pu's abnormality. "What did you mean when you said 'not you' on the phone that day?"

She tried to persuade him in a gentle way, so as not to irritate him, "Is it because of this that you haven't been sending out sparks recently?"

“…”Forget about that.

Li Pu was silent for a moment, not realizing that this silence made him look even more abnormal.

"It's me."

He said, “I sent it.”

As he said this, Li Pho lowered his eyes.

After all, he still had some secrets that belonged only to him and Dabai, which he didn't want to tell them for the time being.

However, Lei Li was not as happy and relaxed as she had imagined.

She became even more panicked.

Knowing that it was unnatural for Li Pho to lower his eyes, Lei Li suppressed her uneasiness and said, "Okay."

After chatting for a while, Lei Li finally saw the man in front of her with an expression that seemed to have made up his mind. "Sister Li, I want to tell you something."

It's finally here.

Lei Li instead breathed a sigh of relief. Okay, now she wouldn't be surprised no matter what happened. If she was sick, she could get treatment. If she wanted to quit the entertainment industry, she could quit and travel around the world. Just be happy. It was no big deal. As long as Li Pu was fine, it would be fine.

She gave him a questioning look, "What's the matter?"

Li Pho was silent for a moment, then said, "Dabai has turned into a human."

Well, the world is finally coming to an end, and her career is probably coming to an end too.

Lei Li still kept smiling, and finally understood the meaning of the comics that Mei Youshu had mentioned. She felt very sad now, because such a good artist had become so dependent on Dabai because of the potential psychological dangers, and even made Dabai look like a human.

"When...did you start to think that Dabai was a human?" she asked tactfully.

Li Pu frowned, he also realized that what he said was strange, but he couldn't find any language that was not strange. After all, this was too beyond common sense, no one would follow this line of thought.

So he stood up and said, "He is in the room now, you can see for yourself."

Lei Li and Mei Youshu looked at each other and followed the man.

The door of the study was slowly opened.

A clear voice came from inside.

The three of them looked inside at the same time and saw a set of clothes lying on the ground. On the table was a large snow-white parrot, holding a microphone and singing loudly.

Finished.

The three people and the bird thought at the same time.

In silence, Li Phou slowly closed the door and looked at them quietly, "I can explain."

"Don't explain." Lei Li couldn't help but take out a cigarette and put it in her mouth, her hands were shaking, "Xiao Mei, catch him, let's go!"
