I Became Famous After I Became a Parrot in the Movie Star's House - Chapter 69 Part 1
Dear Readers,
Due to a temporary website issue, starting around April 3, all novels started before January 2025 will be temporarily moved to the drafts folder for approximately 3–4 weeks. Unfortunately, this novel is included in that list.
In the meantime, I will be uploading the latest advance chapters to my Ko-fi account for my supporters. Regular updates will resume as soon as the site allows.
Thank you for your patience and support!
Li Pu, the male god of the entertainment industry.
Unlike other stars who are desperate for attention, his unique “coldness” and habit of staying out of the limelight give him an air of mystery that draws people in, making them eager to unravel his persona.
But one day, this seemingly aloof figure suddenly becomes approachable and friendly, revealing a side of him no one has seen before—while carrying his pet…
What does it feel like?
#LiPuBirdWalkOnSet#
The topic becomes so popular that it pushes all other trending topics off the list.
Some fans, who have never seen the behind-the-scenes footage, rub their eyes in disbelief, bracing themselves for a major meltdown. But once they see the content, they sigh in relief, only to curse that the topic is too overwhelming.
Even people who normally don’t watch dramas click on it excitedly, only to leave with regrets, but not before giving a like to Dabai.
This show… seems to be pretty interesting?
It successfully brings in a new wave of traffic.
Unfortunately, the topic is promptly blocked half an hour later due to being deemed inappropriate, and it is changed to #Li Pu walking a parrot on the set#.
It must be said that Li Pu, tall and handsome with long legs, exudes pride and elegance. Even while carrying a birdcage, his demeanor is unaffected—especially since the cage is made of gold, which adds a touch of aristocratic flair.
【Enjoying flowers and walking the bird, very flattering (dog emoji).】
【Ning Chen, Ning Chen, did you oppose so many people just for this parrot? (Funny)】
【Honestly, I’m shipping it.】
The discussion reaches such a height that this behind-the-scenes clip is quickly turned into a meme by internet users, becoming a popular emoji shared across various groups.
Even in the group created by his manager.
At home, Li Pu looks up from his phone with a complex expression on his face.
Bai Gaoxing, who has just woken up, lifts his head and immediately sees Li Pu holding his chin with one hand, staring at his phone with an apparently troubled expression.
What’s wrong?
He leans over, confused, and immediately sees the animated meme on the screen. In the background, a film set can be seen. Li Pu, dressed in an official uniform, is holding a birdcage and walking at a brisk pace. The caption reads: Let’s take Dabai for a walk~
The next second, the image disappears.
[Group Owner Lei Li has withdrawn a message.]
[Group Owner Lei Li:] Sorry, I sent it to the wrong group.
Pfft… Hahahahahaha!!!
Bai Gaoxing quickly realizes that it is Li Pu’s emoticon pack and bursts into laughter.
The parrot, not wanting to be outdone, squawks loudly, “Ga ga ga ga ga ga!!!”
Li Pu pauses his phone, looking down at his parrot. “Is it funny?”
The big white parrot chokes and mutters, “Ga…”
Li Pu stares at the parrot for a moment, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
He has been pretending to be serious.
Many times, he has the feeling that Dabai can truly understand what others are saying.
It’s still early.
Li Pu looks outside and sees the sun shining brightly, with the weather perfectly suited to autumn. He lowers his head and asks, “Do you want to go out and play?”
Bai Gaoxing nods eagerly. “Let’s go!”
…
While Bai Gaoxing is still living his usual routine—posting videos in the morning, taking naps at noon, and watching TV at night—The Long Song has become the hottest drama of the moment.
Ever since the episode where the parrot imitates words to give evidence, Da Bai has become a widely known topic.
For a while, the entire internet buzzes about The Long Song and the actor parrot featured in it.
Bai Gaoxing also starts to sense that he might be gaining fame—though he doesn’t spend much time online, he notices discussions about himself cropping up frequently, and he can’t pretend to be oblivious.
And… Li Pu hasn’t mentioned taking him out of the community again.
Maybe it’s time for him to stay out of the spotlight for a while?
At night, Bai Gaoxing continues to follow the TV series he stars in, as usual.
Since he doesn’t have the chance to surf the internet at night, watching TV has become his recent enjoyment.
The house is very quiet, with bubbles rising from the aquarium, while Li Pu, sitting beside him, reads books with great concentration.
Surfing the internet isn’t an option… Bai Gaoxing peeks over at the books, which seem rather obscure.
He shifts his gaze back to the TV.
The plot has reached the point where the heroine meets Ning Chen, and the scene where Ning Chen teases the parrot is coming up.
On the screen, he’s being touched by a man, and his actions are no different from those of a real parrot.
This part is still fresh in his memory; after all, it’s the only scene where he NGd during filming.
Let’s see how it turns out!
Bai Gaoxing stares at the screen until the scene is over, then nods in satisfaction.
Very good. No clues are revealed.
However, on the other side of the internet, a group of viewers, who are watching the drama with eagle eyes, clearly doesn’t agree.
【Wait a minute, I think I found something wrong.】
On the forum, there are people who analyze each episode in real-time, and tonight is no exception.
【Now that you mention it… it does seem like something’s off.】
【Where exactly is it…】
A group of sharp-eyed viewers rewinds the footage, observing it back and forth, until they finally find the key detail!
【Look!】
In the picture, the moment Ning Chen extends his hand to the parrot, the parrot eagerly places its head into his palm.
【Although it’s only two or three millimeters,” the person who shares the interpretation posts a sticker, “it’s definitely there! Let me show you in slow motion at 0.5 times speed.】
As soon as the slowed-down clip plays, someone immediately exclaims, 【Oh oh oh, it’s really there!】
It’s undeniably clear.
The forum explodes.
【Oh my god, it’s so obvious that Dabai wants to get closer to Teacher Li, but because it’s acting, it forcibly suppresses its instincts!】
【Ah ah ah ah ah! Stop talking, I’m dying from it!】
【You guys!? (shocked) You actually ship this pair!? Isn’t the Empress good enough? Isn’t the female lead amazing? Isn’t the Emperor crazy enough?】
【This is a forbidden pairing! It will get banned!】
【Yes, yes, that makes sense!】
The niche fans quickly nod in agreement—they need to stay low-key!
But it’s no use.
The official production team then releases more behind-the-scenes footage.
In the unused clip, the parrot clearly presses its face against Li Pu’s fingertips, even taking two steps forward when the owner withdraws his hand.
The breeze is gentle, and the pair of dark, round eyes are filled with subconscious trust.
【Official team, are you trying to stir up trouble?!】 A small group of fans who have been shipping this couple from the start are holding their breath.
Although shipping this pair is exciting, the group is small, and it involves the real world, so they don’t dare be too obvious.
But tonight’s plot is too exciting, and with someone spreading the word, the Ning Chen/Li Pu × Dabai CP starts to spread.
People who stay up late see the topic and doubt their eyes for a moment.
This… is this even allowed?
It’s strange, but it kind of seems appealing.
Overnight, the Chen Bai CP takes over the hearts of all CP fans.
【I thought Chen Bai was… Damn, are you guys too perverted?】
【Eating everything will only hurt you!!! By the way, where did you find the food? Take me with you.】
【Stop being ridiculous—】
【It’s all on the forum! There are so many pictures! And short stories—I won’t say more, I’ll just eat first!】
【Hurry up and check Mrs. Qingqi’s Weibo!】
What!?
A group of people finds the Weibo account “@justlovesomethingweird” and clicks in. They’re immediately hit by beautiful two-dimensional images that take their breath away.
On the screen, Li Pu, in the role of Ning Chen, is holding someone in his arms, and the hand he extended is being held by the person in his arms with both hands.
The person in his arms is—a white-haired boy.
The young man has white hair and black eyes, wearing a classical white outfit that looks both elegant and graceful. He stares at the man, slightly tilting his head, and places his cheek against the man’s palm.
No need to guess—he is completely white, and it’s clear at a glance that he is the personification of Dabai.
【Mrs. Qingqi… you really… I love you so much TAT.】
Everyone can’t help but be moved.
The famous artist @justlovesomethingweird, known for his beautiful painting style and incredible expression, has also been an illustrator for major games and is highly regarded in the art community.
At the same time, he is also a prolific creator of Li Pu fan art.
This brings us to the many talented artists among Li Pu’s fanbase.
There’s a well-known saying among Li Pu’s fans: “When the main character isn’t giving enough, fan creations are powered by imagination.”
Among this large community of fans, there are those who draw, write, edit videos, and photoshop… there’s nothing they can’t do, and their skills have reached perfection.
Thanks to these many creators, fans are able to find a bit of solace in the cold winter of no official content.
@justlovesomethingweird quickly leads the CP trend, and other artists and writers follow suit, creating their own wave of fan content!
In the minds of all the creators, Dabai’s character is consistently portrayed—whether with long or short hair, ancient or modern style, all versions of human Dabai have white hair!
There’s no way around it—after all, it’s called “Dabai”!
Everyone ships it to the point of obsession, with no relationship in the show more intoxicating than that of master and pet, combining the excitement of pure love and ethical dilemmas to perfection!
