When Li Pu emerges from the kitchen, Bai Gaoxing notices that this time, he not only brings out several dishes but also a small plate.
On it is a small piece of snow-white fish, perfectly cooked and tender, accompanied by a little bit of light fish broth.
But when the plate is placed in front of him, Bai Gaoxing freezes in surprise, looking back and forth between the man and the plate.
For me??
Li Pu chuckles.
In his eyes, the big white parrot looks down at the plate, then looks back up at him, appearing adorably confused.
As for the fish... Li Pu checks the breeding manual and does some online research. After confirming that this species of parrot can eat a little meat, he sets aside a piece of the fish he has prepared for lunch.
That was it.
Li Pu pushes the plate forward, causing the light-colored broth to ripple slightly. "Don't you want to eat?"
Bai Gaoxing, thinking the man has had a change of heart, stretches his head out and takes a taste-"Puh! Puh! Puh!"
Not only is it devoid of oil and salt, but the taste is bland and fishy. Maybe only a cat or a turtle could stomach something like this.
Isn't he supposed to be a good cook? Bai Gaoxing gives Li Pu a suspicious glance before eyeing the large bowl of stewed fish instead.
Li Pu remains silent.
He retrieves the plate, the faint aroma of the fish drifting into his nose, but that's the extent of it.
His research indicates that parrots don't need extra salt in their diet-similar to dogs-so he hasn't added even a pinch of salt, simply boiling the fish in plain water.
So it doesn't taste good, huh...
Then-"Dabai!"
Bai Gaoxing, who has just bitten down on the tail of the stewed fish, freezes.
...
[Don't forget to come for a follow-up check today.] - Dr. An
[Brother Li, Dr. An scheduled you for 2 p.m., don't forget!] - Half an hour ago from Dashu.
Bai Gaoxing yawns, then turns to see Li Pu's phone, tossed on the couch, lighting up with new messages.
His yawn abruptly stops midway. He quickly flies over to the phone and tries pressing the most prominent part of his claw on the unlock button.
"Buzz~" No luck.
"Buzz~"
"Buzz~"
After three attempts, the phone switches to password mode, and at that moment, Li Pu comes out of the bedroom.
He has changed his clothes and is clearly heading out. As expected...
Recalling the messages, Bai Gaoxing easily remembers what he overheard earlier-something about a doctor, from that person named Peter Wang.
So, this man really does need human care and medical treatment!
Suddenly, it all makes sense-why Li Pu spends hours in silence each day, and why he hasn't had the energy to play with him anymore.
Bai Gaoxing watches as Li Pu picks up his phone and heads for the door. After a moment of hesitation, the parrot quickly reacts, flapping his wings and landing on Li Pu's shoulder, attempting to sneak out with him.
Unfortunately, he fails.
The flapping of wings always makes a sound. Li Pu hears it just as he is about to open the door. Without moving his hand from the handle, he turns his head and says, "Dabai, why don't you go back to the cage?"
Bai Gaoxing gives in immediately, flying back to the sofa.
Click. The door closes, and Li Pu's footsteps gradually fade away.
Bai Gaoxing stares blankly for a moment before flying to the balcony, peeking through the French window to catch a glimpse of Li Pu.
Two minutes later, Li Pu appears in his line of sight, now wearing a mask and a pair of plain glasses as he gets into a car, fully disguised.
Watching the car drive away, Bai Gaoxing once again feels a strong desire to escape.
He has to find a way out!
...
On the other side, Li Pu arrives at the hospital.
He takes the elevator to the psychology department on the ninth floor, navigating the building with ease. When he enters the office, a young man in a white coat sits behind a computer, typing away without looking up. "How have you been feeling lately?" he asks.
"Not bad," Li Pu replies, settling into the chair across from him.
"And how's your sleep?"
"Eight hours a day."
"Oh... sounds like you're on vacation again. When's your next movie?"
"In about a month."
"Do you feel worse this time compared to before?"
Li Pu smiles. "There's no real problem this time."
"'No real problem,' huh?" the young man repeats, the meaning behind his words unclear.
After about five minutes, the young man finally raises his head from the computer. The name tag on his chest reads An Xin.
He has been frowning before, but after adjusting his glasses and taking a closer look at Li Pu, his tone softens, and his expression becomes much gentler.
"Not bad. You finally listened to my advice?"
Feeling An Xin's pointed gaze, Li Pu looks down and notices a snow-white feather stuck to his collar.
