I Became Famous After I Became a Parrot in the Movie Star's House - Chapter 73

Of course, Li Pu doesn’t come.

He just glances at the parrot rolling around on the bed and starts unpacking.

The barrage becomes frantic:

【Hurry up, Teacher Li!】

【Dabai’s invitation.】

【[It’s over, I thought we were going to watch some heartwarming daily moments, but now I’m suddenly thinking about shipping the CP.】

【Go ahead and ship, anyway, some big shots have already drawn the images of all the main pets based on this lineup. It’s now all the rage in the fan forum.】

【You’re getting more and more perverted! I don’t ship it. I just want to see Dabai’s life.】

【I laughed so hard. Life with Dabai at home must be very interesting x】

Bai Gaoxing doesn’t know that his two short words have stirred up the heat in a certain mysterious field. He turns his head and looks at the blue sky outside the balcony window. After a while, he turns to another direction.

 F*ck, the camera!

A black camera is mounted on the head of the bed, staring at him like a huge eye. Bai Gaoxing quickly gets up and looks around.

There are three cameras in this room, and there seem to be two on the balcony. Not to mention what he saw when he went upstairs just now—there are even more on the first floor.

It seems that the program team is going all out to capture the details of the guests’ lives.

How can I sleep like this!?

ai Gaoxing is worried. He’s fine, but it will be hard for Li Pu to take off his clothes with so many cameras around.

Just as he’s thinking this, Li Pu starts to unbutton his coat.

Ah, no, no, no!

Bai Gaoxing feels like he sees the disastrous outcome where Li Pu’s scene will be cut for not being “green” and harmonious enough, so he quickly leaps at him, shouting, “Put on your clothes! Put on your clothes!”

I’ll cover for you!

Li Pu feels a sudden impact on his back and knows it’s Dabai jumping at him, something he’s already used to.

He takes off his coat slowly. It’s a bit cold when he goes out in the morning, but now it’s warm. He then turns around to rescue the parrot entangled in his clothes.

“Dabai.” His voice is helpless.

Bai Gaoxing stares at Li Pu’s face for a moment, then lowers his gaze.

Oh, you’re wearing two layers.

Bai Gaoxing clicks his tongue.

【Wow, Dabai is really clingy with Teacher Li.】

【Stop it, I really want to become Dabai and snuggle in Teacher Li’s hands!】

【Sigh, just take off one more layer~】

After tidying up the room, they go to do the solo interview.

The bedroom door is knocked open by the staff. After explaining the purpose, Li Pu nods and asks, “Is Dabai still going?”

“Of course!” the staff member replies. “The cute pets are also one of our highlights.”

So, Bai Gaoxing follows Li Pu into a small room on the first floor.

The room is decorated in a very cute way, with many green plants around, and the staff and director are seated at a table across from them.

According to the staff, this segment won’t be broadcast live but will be edited and included in the program to be aired a week later.

Bai Gaoxing looks around and then jumps onto the table, which is very close to the camera. Then, he hears the staff say, “Teacher Li, could you let Dabai get closer to you?”

“Okay.”

Before he can turn around, Li Pu pulls him over.

In the end, Bai Gaoxing obediently curls up on Li Pu’s arm.

The program team asks the usual question: “What’s your first impression of the other guests and pets?”

Meanwhile, the other three guests are also being interviewed.

“The one who leaves the deepest impression…” Liu Liang, holding a duck, scratches his chin. “That must be Teacher Li!”

“Why?”

Liu Liang answers honestly, “Because of Dabai.”

The staff laughs. “Isn’t it because Teacher Li is a senior?”

Liu Liang panics for a moment and is pecked on the finger by the duck. “Yes, but I was shocked by the impression that Dabai gave me at the beginning—anyway, Teacher Li is my idol!”

On the other side, Wang Hong also mentions Li Pu and Dabai.

The young beauty sits on the chair, and Pingke stands on her head, chewing her hair.

Her reason is more reasonable. “Because Teacher Li is the other guest who brought a parrot, and since we both raise parrots, I pay more attention~ But…” she pauses, “Dabai leaves a deeper impression. It speaks really well!” Wang Hong smiles, her eyes curving into a beautiful arc. “Pingke’s speech isn’t as fluent.”

Pingke: “Ga.”

In the third room, Zhang Junjun thinks for a moment. “Teacher Li Pu. And Dabai.”

Program team: “Can you tell us why?”

The tough guy ponders for a moment. “When Doug comes out, everyone else steps back, but Teacher Li and Dabai don’t.” He even sees the parrot trying to fly down to take a look, which he notices clearly.

The staff chuckles. “I’ve heard that people’s first reaction when they see Doug is usually a bit of fear.”

Zhang Junjun pats the big head of the German Shepherd next to him. “Yes, that’s why I’m surprised.”

Outside, the program team staff, who are reviewing the answers, are a little silent. The three guests have all chosen the same person and the same pet…

It now depends on what Li Pu’s group says.

In front of the camera, the handsome man rubs Dabai‘s head, thinks for a moment, and says, “I have deep impressions of them all.” He’s quite good at remembering people.

“This answer isn’t good. Choose the most impressive one,” the program team says.

The most impressive one… Bai Gaoxing recalls and realizes that his answer is the same as Li Pu’s.

For example, there really is a pink parrot; someone actually brings a duck to the show; military dogs are really cool… and so on.

But if he has to choose just one, it would be… “Dog!”

The snow-white parrot shouts loudly in front of the camera.

The staff is stunned and tilts the camera toward Li Pu’s arm, where Dabai is standing.

The director claps his thigh happily. “Dabai is really good at talking.”

The other parrot, Pingke, is also famous for talking a lot during live broadcasts, but he hasn’t spoken since the show started. They aren’t sure if he’s just slow to warm up.

“Dabai’s already picked, aren’t you going to pick one?” the staff jokes.

“Then I’ll pick Military Brother and Doug,” Li Pu says with a smile.

The staff laughs, “Looks like you followed Dabai’s choice.”

Bai Gaoxing spreads one wing and pats Li Pu. “You chose me, it’s right.”

“By the way, does Dabai also speak like this at home?” Seeing Dabai’s clever movements, the director can’t help but ask.

“Yes,” Li Pu answers cooperatively. “When he’s hungry, he’ll shout for food. When he’s sleepy, he’ll say he wants to sleep. And when he’s bored, he keeps clamoring to go out and play.”

A staff member suddenly laughs and asks, “Last time when you went to the park and got spotted by fans, was it also because Dabai wanted to go out and play?”

Li Pu nods, “Exactly.”

Bai Gaoxing shakes his feather crown, feeling a little embarrassed, thinking that the incident was completely accidental.

“Wow~” the director exclaims, “I hope he behaves like this on our show too.” She looks at the parrot, “Dabai, don’t be shy, just treat this like your own home.”

Bai Gaoxing: “No problem~”

“Oh, he really agrees.” The people in the program team are very surprised.

Well, then he’d better perform right here.

Bai Gaoxing checks the time—it’s exactly 12 noon. He’s been so nervous about participating in the program that he hasn’t eaten much since he got up in the morning, and he’s already hungry.

He looks up at Li Pu. “Hungry, food!”

“It’s time to eat now,” the director stands up with a sly smile. “But our program is a pastoral life program after all. It would be too boring if the program team prepared everything.”

Bai Gaoxing thinks that this sentence sounds a bit “unfriendly.”

Sure enough, when he follows Li Pu to the kitchen, he finds that there’s no delicious feast waiting for them—only original, natural, and unprocessed ingredients.

The other three guests also arrive at that moment. They look at the beautifully decorated kitchen with a lot of dishes and immediately understand what the program team means.

“Are you asking us to cook it ourselves?” Wang Hong says in surprise, obviously not expecting this either.

In previous seasons, everyone eats lunch together.

“The theme of this season is ‘rural life,’ so we need to be self-reliant,” Zhang Junjun finds a sticky note left by the program team on the refrigerator.

“This… that… I can only cook instant noodles,” Liu Liang says with a troubled expression, slapping his palm. “If I’d known, I would’ve learned a few dishes before the show.”

“Haha… I’m about the same, I can steam rice,” Wang Hong chuckles awkwardly.

“I can cook some home-style dishes,” Zhang Junjun says.

Though the taste is average.

He learned to cook when he was in the army, but didn’t study it much once he got home. So, he mostly makes simple meals just to fill his stomach. Of course, if asked to catch insects in the wild and make skewers, he’d have plenty of experience.

Everyone turns their eyes to Li Pu at the same time.

Li Pu looks at the others and, rolling up his sleeves, says helplessly, “I can cook.”

【Oh, they caught the best cook in this program!】

【It started as: “Participating in the show, painful yet enjoyable.” Now it’s: “Beautiful scenery and delicious food.”】

【Wow, after so many years, Teacher Li is about to show off his skills again!】

Fans in the barrage are looking forward to it and reminiscing.

They remember that at first, not many people knew that Li Pu could cook, until he appeared on a variety show for the first time. At that time, a young and naïve Li Pu makes a meal on the show—

Anyway, people don’t remember much of the content of that episode, but what they do remember is that all the guests rave about how delicious Li Pu’s cooking is on Weibo that night.
