I Became Famous After I Became a Parrot in the Movie Star's House - Chapter 49

“Order Takeout” is a new show that Star Entertainment Media signs, featuring a fixed lunchtime livestream at 12 PM on the Xinghuo platform, where the hosts engage in a mukbang-style show.

Takeout mukbang.

The hosts specifically order takeout and eat it while commenting on the food for their fans to watch.

The show features a unique two-person meal combination, different from the usual single-person big eaters or restaurant visitors. The commentary is relaxed and humorous, with mutual teasing that adds to the entertainment.

The hosts are twins, who gain fame while working on their own. After signing the contract, the company gives them considerable traffic, and their fan base continues to grow. Their careers are thriving.

Today is just another typical livestream where they eat takeout.

Since they don’t have a fixed studio yet, each time they come, they have to ask around and find an available room to use temporarily.

At this moment, the twins have just opened the chopsticks that come with their takeout but haven’t had the chance to break them apart before they are startled by an excited comment in the livestream.

【Ahhhhhhh, is that a giant moth??】

【What the heck, is that a pigeon? Why is there a pigeon here?】

【You two don’t have to fight so hard to get more food! Bird feathers are going to fall in!!!】

“What’s going on? Behind us?” The twins haven’t realized the unexpected is about to happen, and curiously turn their heads to look.

In this brief moment, the audience watches in shock as a snow-white unidentified object approaches quickly. As the twins turn their heads, it passes through the gap between them and lands on the table full of lunch boxes.

It’s a parrot!

Some viewers recognize it.

But why does a parrot suddenly appear…?

【Are you guys doing something new again? Like not talking while eating, and instead playing with cute pets】

【Is Star Entertainment trying to start a parrot trend? Didn’t Li Pu raise a parrot before?】

【Wait, doesn’t this parrot look familiar?】

Bai Gaoxing, who has been distracted by the familiar sight of the food, doesn’t pay attention to the surroundings. His focus is entirely on the takeout in front of him.

That’s right. He nods with satisfaction. This food suits his taste perfectly, reminding him of the time when he’d order takeout after class because he was too lazy to go to the cafeteria.

Which one should I start with?

Bai Gaoxing quickly scans the spread and first reaches for the sweet and sour pork, which would get soggy if left out too long.

“Hey, hey, hey!” A voice from behind calls out, followed by a pair of hands waving beside them.

What’s going on?

Bai Gaoxing turns around to look at two young men who appear particularly tense.

Hao Chi is completely freaked out. Who could have expected a bird to suddenly appear in the room and even come for their takeout?

“What should we do?” he whispers to his younger brother. “We need to get it out, right?” He waves his hand, trying to shoo the parrot away.

As a result, the snow-white parrot seems completely unafraid of people. It stands still and stares at them with a silent gaze.

The next second, it bites into the meat with a sharp “click.”

In the livestream, viewers who recognize the parrot as Dabai are incredibly excited.

At first, they just want to watch a mukbang to enjoy a meal and maybe hypnotize themselves into thinking they are eating something just as lavish, but they don’t expect to see something so interesting.

Could it be that Dabai is not just helping Li Pu promote himself, but is also promoting the entire company?

Such a hardworking and professional little parrot! Star Entertainment must start paying him a salary and buying him snacks (pointing and giving approval.jpg).

On the other hand, those who have no idea what is going on and are simply there to watch the food livestream begin flooding the chat with question marks.

【???? What exactly is happening?】

【Are you still streaming? If not, I’ll switch to another channel.】

【What’s up with this bird? Is it a new host? (laughs)】

Seeing the barrage of comments, Hao Xiang has a sudden realization.

Unlike Hao Chi, who has no clue, Hao Xiang has heard about the movie star raising a parrot and using it for promotion. He has seen some posts on Weibo and knows that Li Pu has recently joined a film set.

Therefore, it is highly likely that this parrot is the one raised by the movie star.

Hao Xiang, known for his quick thinking, immediately makes a decision. After a brief moment of thought, he says:

“Actually, this is… our mascot!”

“…Yes?” Hao Chi stares at him wide-eyed, then nods to the camera, “Our mascot!”

At that moment, Bai Gaoxing realizes there is a phone on the table streaming live.

“…”

Oh no, everything he does earlier is caught on camera.

Bai Gaoxing falls silent for a moment, then gives up entirely and leans in to take a look.

The livestream name: “Order Takeout” lunchtime mukbang.

So it is a mukbang… wait, a mukbang!?

Bai Gaoxing is so shocked that his feathers fluff up in disbelief. Then, these dishes aren’t prepared for him?

In that case, he has to act fast, accurately, and decisively!

With a sudden shift in focus, Bai Gaoxing opens his sharp beak, bites a piece of sweet and sour pork, flaps his wings, and takes off!

But he is caught mid-air..

Hao Xiang quickly snatches the sweet and sour pork from his beak, turning to Hao Chi uncertainly. “He can’t eat this, can he?”

Hao Chi replies, “I don’t know either!”

The viewers in the livestream are thrilled. When they see the parrot curiously flapping its wings and approaching with wide eyes, they find its innocent look incredibly adorable.

And now, they can’t resist wanting to see more of it.

The chat quickly splits into two camps.

【Ahhhhhh let it eat! Let it eat!】

【It’s so pitiful, give it a bite! The look in its eyes is just like the dog at my feet…】

【No, it definitely can’t eat that! How can a bird eat human food? It’s a big burden on its body!】

【No! Eating everything will only harm it!】

Anyone who doesn’t let it eat is an enemy!

Bai Gaoxing flaps his wings and kicks his legs, trying to snatch the sweet and sour pork. He succeeds! But only manages to grab one bite from the two of them.

Five minutes later.

“Look, these are cola chicken wings, very delicious. The color is beautiful, and the meat is tender and flavorful. You can’t stop eating after the first bite. It’s a bit of a surprise dish. As usual, I’ll write the name of the store at the end of tonight’s editing. Be sure to check it out if you want to try it yourself~” Hao Chi says while eating.

“Come on, Dabai, let Dabai smell it. The chicken can’t eat it!” Hao Xiang picks up a chicken wing and gently passes it in front of Bai Gaoxing. Bai Gaoxing stands numbly in front of the camera, watching the two people feast on the food while acting as the “mascot.”

Why did things turn out like this…

“Everyone, look again, this is omelet rice, and I asked for ‘Happy Day’ to be written on it with ketchup. Hmm… This egg is really good, very fresh and tender, and it tastes super good with the sweet and sour ketchup! The rice is also very fragrant. The store says they use special rice, and each grain stays distinct after steaming—look, like this.” Hao Chi picks up a forkful of rice and shows it to the camera.

“The rice could have been given to Dabai, but my brother moved too quickly and mixed the ketchup in, so for safety, I can only let him look at it.” Hao Xiang says regretfully.

In the live broadcast room, the audience’s attention has long shifted from the two people and the food to Bai Gaoxing.

【Are you two still human?!】

【This is on purpose, right? You didn’t even order a single leafy vegetable today!?】

【It’s so miserable, so sad, I was watching and just gave my dog a rib】

【I bet if Dabai had a knife, it would totally want to stab them hahahaha!!!】

Knife?

Bai Gaoxing notices the barrage, his eyes instantly sharpening. He grabs the plastic knife that came with the dessert takeaway on the table.

It is time for the “shark attack!”

“I want to eat too!”

The words startle the two people holding chopsticks.

The barrage explodes the moment after. This is the first time Bai Gaoxing has spoken in the live broadcast, sparking curiosity and excitement from many viewers.

【My god, it can actually speak!】

【Quick, quick, say something else! Today, I’m just watching to see it eat!】

Bai Gaoxing cooperates eagerly: “Hurry up, hurry up! Bring it over!” Then he walks toward the two, step by step.

The live broadcast room hits a peak in popularity.

When Mei Youshu pushes the door open, he sees a bird chasing two people, causing them to run away.

“…” I just went to the toilet and asked someone to move a cage, how did it turn into this?

He falls silent, then walks over. “Why are you two here?”

Mei Youshu is somewhat familiar with the newly signed anchors of the company.

He notices the mobile phone filming the scene. “Are you still live streaming?” Mei Youshu frowns, subconsciously thinking that someone might be trying to leverage the popularity of Li Pu and Dabai to attract traffic.

“Brother Shu?” Hao Chi glances at him in a hurry. “Hurry up and help! This parrot is too scary!”

“We don’t know what happened… this parrot seems to have been here from the start?” Hao Xiang says helplessly.

This explanation causes Mei Youshu’s brows to relax. He glances at the takeaway on the table, which is nearly finished, and sighs. “Did no one tell you that this room was requisitioned for raising birds?”

Hao Chi, who has finally caught the parrot, looks at Hao Xiang, bewildered. “Is that true?”

Mei Youshu: “Yes.”

Hao Chi: “But someone told us that the live broadcast room is on the eighth floor, room 20—”

Mei Youshu: “…This is the seventh floor.”

Hao Chi and Hao Xiang lower their heads, apologizing for the confusion.

The entire scene of the two being chased by the bird is captured by the camera, and the audience in the live broadcast room is almost in stitches with laughter.

【What’s going on! Am I watching a food broadcast or a comedy show? Laughing so hard, I’m crying.】

【Don’t even say it, Dabai’s knife-holding pose is more handsome than theirs!】

【Brother Shu—ah, Assistant Mei is in someone else’s live broadcast again.】

After catching the bird, Hao Chi glances at his phone and holds up Bai Gaoxing. “Brother Shu, we’ll need to wait a bit longer to finish here, could you hold it?”

Mei Youshu: “…”

Bai Gaoxing sees the person’s fingers clench and twitch, almost like they are spasming.

The other party is clearly having a rough time.

He looks at him with sympathy.

Mei Youshu takes a big step forward, avoids the bird’s head, and holds Bai Gaoxing between his arms.

He exhales. “Hold on, I’ll take it out first.”

The two return to the camera and laugh. “Well, the episode just now can be considered a little post-dinner entertainment for everyone…”

After Mei Youshu leaves, he immediately takes out his phone and sends a notice to the company’s second group: The 0720 live broadcast room on the seventh floor has been requisitioned, everyone please take note.

Bai Gaoxing is held obediently.

He can feel the stiffness in the young man’s muscles, and the occasional tremor, but can’t tell if he is afraid of pinching him too hard or simply afraid of him.

Alas, there is really no way. Bai Gaoxing looks up and sympathetically regards the young man.

But then, he hears Mei Youshu’s phone ring.

The young man picks up the phone.

“Did the cage arrive? Alright, I’ll go downstairs to get it.”

Then, Mei Youshu leads him to the door of the livestream room.

Presumably, they intend to stuff him into the cage. Bai Gaoxing can’t help but recall the inhumane treatment he just endured and grumbles angrily.

Unexpectedly, Mei Youshu raises his hand, and Bai Gaoxing slips out of his grip, falling to the ground.

For a moment, Bai Gaoxing is a little dazed and doesn’t move.

Then he sees Mei Youshu’s expression of surprise and relief.

Bai Gaoxing spreads his wings and rises from the ground.

It would be impolite not to run!

“Dabai!!”

Mei Youshu watches the white shadow fly down the stairs, his brain buzzing. It takes him a few seconds to process what just happened. He quickly takes a few steps forward, then stops, lowers his head, and edits the announcement he just wrote: Dabai has escaped, please notify all departments and close the windows on each floor!
