Extra (Thirteen)

Maybe the sudden time travel last time left a deep impression on him, so not long after, he dreamed that he came to Dabai's world again.

And... this time it was just him.

Li Pho looked around. There was no one around, only lush vegetation and exquisite buildings. He had never seen them before, but for some reason they gave him a familiar feeling.

"Ouch."

Someone bumped into him.

Li Pu looked down at the person who suddenly appeared. He was a very small person, and from this angle he could see the top of the other person's head.

"Brother, I'm sorry... I didn't hurt you, did I?"

The other person covered his head and raised his face. The expression of pain had not even faded away, but the familiar face that appeared made Li Pu speechless for a long time.

Ten years old? Or younger? The young Dabai was wearing jeans with dungarees, and had a face that was more adorable than that of a toddler. His black hair was messy and curly from the scratches he had just made, and his eyes were as black as stars, shining. Judging from the cream marks on his face, he must have eaten dessert not long ago.

Li Pu was stunned for a while, "What's your name?"

The child was stunned for a moment, "Bai... Bai Gaoxing." After saying that, his eyes became alert, "Why are you asking this?"

Li Pho was amused by the young Da Bai's alert but slow reaction, and because he was so cute, his smile deepened, and he did not answer his question.

The child was frightened by his reaction and stepped back, looking around as if trying to find a way to escape.

"Here." Li Pu pointed to his face, "Wipe it." Although he really wanted to help wipe it, in order to avoid being mistaken as a bad guy by Dabai, he still resisted the urge to do so.

Young Dabai touched it, uttered a "huh", blushed a little, and explained: "It's my birthday today, I'm eating cake!"

Suddenly, a vague voice came from afar, and the boy's eyes lit up, "My mother called me, goodbye brother!"

He ran while waving his hands, and almost fell down. Li Pu was so frightened that he subconsciously took a few steps forward to help him. Fortunately, the other party relied on his young age and agility to maintain his balance, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Li Pu stayed where he was for a while, then walked towards the direction Bai Gaoxing had just left - there was white fog all around, and he couldn't find a way out.

Dreams have no logic.

He didn't know where this was, but he knew what he looked like.

Li Pu noticed from the beginning that his well-trained body had become much thinner, and he was still wearing the same Western-style school uniform he wore in high school.

His subconscious told him that the self in the dream was now sixteen years old.

However, before he could walk far, the thick fog suddenly dissipated, revealing the scenery behind the vast white.

SCHOOL.

At first glance, it was a certain location in the school. Not far away stood the teaching building, and on the flat and wide road, one could see students carrying their schoolbags and going home from school.

However, the place where he was was extremely quiet, with a cobblestone road and benches for resting, but it was completely empty with no one there.

No, there is one person.

Li Pu walked forward a few steps and saw the young man sitting on a bench through the bare trees.

Bai Gaoxing had grown up a lot compared to the boy I saw a moment ago. At this time, he already had the outline of his future, but he was still young. The loose sleeves of his school uniform were pushed up to his elbows, revealing his entire white forearms. He was very thin and looked like he hadn't eaten well.

At this moment, the boy lowered his head slightly, his expression was unrecognizable, and he was spinning a straw stick in his hand. The schoolbag beside him was not zipped up, and behind the soft fabric, books marked with junior high school grades were revealed.

Compared to the lively and cheerful child not long ago, the boy now is really too quiet.

Li Piao immediately understood what time it was.

He looked at the young man not far away and thought for a second whether he should go forward to accompany him at this time.

However, in this second of hesitation, his consciousness seemed to suddenly move further away, turning into a God's perspective.

His current body is that of a 19-year-old who didn't know Dabai yet. From his perspective, he could clearly see that after seeing Dabai, a strange expression appeared on his face.

The next second, Li Pu watched himself walking into the bushes, his feet stepping on the rustling of fallen leaves and branches. The boy heard the sound and raised his head in panic, his eyes slightly widened.

The two looked at each other in silence; no one spoke.

After a while, the black-haired boy took the lead and grabbed his schoolbag and tried to run away. But the 19-year-old Li Pu stopped him and said, "What are you doing here?"

Junior high school student Bai Gaoxing paused, "...I didn't do anything."

The other person turned around and asked cautiously, "You are not a teacher, are you?"

"no."

Young Li Pho walked over and saw that at the spot where he had just sat, a wooden stick had carved out the words "Happy Birthday" on the sand beneath his feet.

An indescribable bitterness spread, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own emotion or Dabai's.

"When is your birthday?" Li Phou heard himself ask.

"Um……"

From learning the boy's name, to tentative conversation, to harmonious chat, the young self did a great job. Even Li Pu himself was a little surprised, his eyes lingered on Bai Gaoxing's smiling face for a long time, and he just felt that the boy had too good a personality and could become happy with a little warmth.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this characteristic that the other party can quickly get out of the shadow.

Then, Li Pu saw a cake inexplicably appear in his hand.

“……”This was indeed a dream.

Fortunately, it was a dream, so he could get whatever he wanted. He watched the two of them share the cake - this experience was also very strange, because he rarely eats this kind of sweets, how should I put it, it feels good, especially with Dabai.

In a relatively short period of time, I have become quite familiar with the boy.

"I don't know whether I should go to the competition the teacher mentioned..." The boy had already begun to confide his academic troubles to him.

The bright red score on the report card undoubtedly represents excellence. Now, all he needs is someone to affirm him, give him a push, and push him back on the right track to have the courage to face the future.

This is what Le Pho did.

Bai Gaoxing was silent for a while, then said, "I don't know why, but you give me a particularly trustworthy feeling."

When leaving, I told Dabai that I would come back next year to celebrate his birthday with him.

"Really?" The boy looked at him in disbelief, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes.

"Yeah." he replied.

"Today is February 11th...what if you forget?" The boy looked at him hesitantly.

"I'll remember it." The younger self thought for a moment, took out his cell phone, turned on the screen, and entered the date as a password.

Li Pho's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He seemed to have forgotten why he set the same password a long time ago, but he just got used to it and continued to use it.

Is it a coincidence fabricated by dreams and subconsciousness, or...

He seemed unable to think any further.

When he woke up, the sunlight outside was particularly dazzling, and it was already past his usual time to get up.

"You slept so soundly today." The white-haired lover leaned beside him, his eyes full of worry, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No." Li Pu was still a little unresponsive, his mind was hazy, "...I had a strange dream."

As a result, when I said this, what I got was not curious questions like "What dream?", but silence and a "Me too".

"I seemed to have dreamed of you?" Bai Gaoxing said uncertainly, "but I turned over and forgot about it... I even seemed to be eating something."

Li Pho was slightly surprised and asked, "Anything else?"

Bai Gaoxing pondered for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I have no recollection."

Li Pu looked at him for a long time, smiled slowly, and then, in Bai Gaoxing's surprised eyes, he moved closer and kissed him.

Married couples like to do something simple when they have nothing to do at home.

Bai Gaoxing also likes to do sad things with the one he loves, but he has to admit that sometimes he can't stand Li Pu's passion...

Just like today, I became eager for no apparent reason early in the morning.

"No more."

On the bed, he used all his remaining strength to press against Li Pu's face, "Get out of here! Can you control yourself?"

Bai Gaoxing was very experienced. Usually, after he said this, he would miraculously provoke Li Pu's strange XP and usher in an even more intense storm.

——Although they usually play role-playing games at home for professional and hobby reasons, he couldn't understand why Li Pu had XP on such an ordinary dialogue.

Speaking of lines... there is also such a shameful thing as calling someone "master".

Bai Gaoxing still remembered a time when he couldn't stand it anymore and called out all kinds of names, but he didn't let Li Pu stop until he sobbed and unconsciously called out "Master" like a parrot.

He felt Li Pho getting harder.

It is very effective, but also more terrifying.

so!

He recently came up with an awesome idea!

Sure enough, after he said the words "Can you control yourself?", Li Phou did not stop, but took a step further, mixing with his increasingly hot breath.

Seeing that handsome face was about to get as close as possible, Bai Gaoxing suddenly shrank back into the quilt despite the numbness and when he came out, he was just a furry shadow.

He ran! He jumped! He ran away like crazy - ouch!

Because his steps were too big and pulled his butt, Bai Gaoxing's paws went limp when he was near the bed and he stumbled and fell. He rolled twice on the bed and lay face up on the soft quilt.

Haaaah… Haaaah…

Bai Gaoxing was panting heavily, his bird's furry chest heaving, his wings spread wide, and his claws curled up pitifully.

Even though it turned into a parrot, the traces of the love affair still did not disappear. The feathers that should have been neat became messy, with shiny wet marks. Its thin eyelids were half closed, and a circle of tears could be seen around it. The equally messy tail feathers were trembling, and it looked miserable as if it had been severely ravaged.

Li Pu's gaze fell over, and Bai Gaoxing felt it immediately.

But he was confused. He just didn't believe that Li Phou could be so perverted as to harm a parrot!

Sure enough, Li Pho did not attack a single parrot.

The man lifted him up from the bed and took him to the bathroom to wash him clean.

He seemed to hear Li Phou's frustrated sigh.

The warm water wet the feathers. Bai Gaoxing sighed comfortably and refused to turn back into a human.

Just kidding, the bathtub is even more extreme!

Bai Gaoxing was having a great time playing with a rubber duck in the water. He turned around and saw Li Pu's indescribable expression. He immediately laughed and said in a sly way, "So, there's nothing we can do now, right?"

He spread his wings and spun in the water, then sighed in mock worry. "There's only one way now."

Li Pu's eyes moved slightly, "What?"

Bai Gaoxing shook his feather crown, "Of course you have turned into a parrot too~"

Li Piao: “…”

"Be obedient and change back."

This method is simply impossible to achieve.

Bai Gaoxing: A little bit.

Is it really impossible?

I've thought about this idea before, and after thinking about it, I finally wrote it down! This extra chapter can be a dream, or the cycle of the world; a coincidence, or the overlap of time and space at a certain moment.
