The topic of sending Bai Ju to school ended with the smell of grilled fish being served.
Xiao Yao looked at Bai Ju’s unhappy face and hurriedly lowered his head to arrange the tableware, hiding the smile on his brows and eyes.
Old Dog Bai started to feel really worried, and even seemed a little absent-minded when unpacking the tableware.
Today was different from the past. In the early days, scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants did not study or read. As long as they did farm work well, had good hunting skills, and found a wife who was good at weaving and cooking and could run the house, a man could live a comfortable life. So as long as you didn’t seek to become a successful person and become rich, it was perfectly fine not to study.
Old Dog Bai was half a mountain god. In order to know what was happening in the court and protect the villagers in his jurisdiction, Old Dog Bai went out of his way to listen to the corners of a private school. Although he was not able to learn a lot of things, he was still able to read and write. At that time, he was able to read and write. So among a group of old demons, he was seen as quite capable with just half an ounce of ink.
However, this little ink didn’t work at all now.
Simplified Chinese characters were currently implemented in China, but after all, they came from the same source as the characters hundreds of years ago. Bai Ju did not encounter any difficulty in recognizing the new characters. The huge amount of information in the new era diluted his understanding and cognition of the current situation; with just coming out for a walk, all the problems that he didn’t pay attention to at the beginning had surfaced.
The times have undergone drastic changes, and the Dragon Vein have become silent, but people on the land of China have become more active; countless opportunities, countless treasures, and countless hopes are scattered all over the world. At the same time, there is also a suddenly accelerating pace of life and a visible pressure to survive.
In this environment, almost everyone needed high-intensity learning, and society had increasingly higher requirements for people’s knowledge base. A random teenage boy could read more than Old Dog Bai.
Bai Ju used to think that Xiao Yao’s life was stressful and uncomfortable, but in fact, in modern society, as long as there was a little pursuit of success, which life was easy? Maybe it was not as heavy as Xiao Yao’s burden, but it was not easy either.
Ordinary people who had studied in the social education system for more than ten or twenty years could not easily find a job. Only the best among them could be regarded as having special skills. Old Dog Bai kept saying that he would take good care of his director Xiao, but now the reality was that he was extremely surprised to find that he didn’t seem to have any skills that he could show off.
He was completely out of touch with the times. Many skills in the past could now be realized by machines, but he had no idea about the emerging technologies that modern society needed more.
After absent-mindedly eating two bites of grilled fish, Bai Ju suddenly put down his chopsticks, sighed deeply, and said: “Yao Yao, what you said makes sense, knowledge is power, I should go to school.”
Xiao Yao was caught off guard and when he heard this sentence, the chopsticks in his hand almost broke the iron plate – should he be shocked first by the call “Yao Yao”, or should he be shocked by the fact that “Bai Wang is going to study in school”?
Xiao Yao quickly wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, “I was joking. Brother Bai, you don’t need to go to school.”
Bai Ju raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yao, his whole dog’s state very listless: “You don’t need to comfort me… I don’t have any skills now, how can I take care of you in the future?”
“…cough.” Xiao Yao looked at Bai Ju’s expression and saw that his low mood did not seem to be hypocritical, so he corrected his attitude. He placed his hands on the table and cleared his throat.
Xiao Yao went straight to the point when he opened his mouth: “Brother Bai, the situation I just mentioned is for ordinary people, but you are different. You are the demon king.”
He moved his fingers and carefully placed a sound insulation array around the two of them. Xiao Yao continued to be comforting: “Brother Bai, do you remember that you were hired by the country to discipline the little demons? This is your position. You just need to ensure that you are a deterrent and cooperate with the work of our Demon Management Bureau. And you will be rewarded and will not be subject to other restrictions like ordinary people.”
Bai Ju glanced at Xiao Yao again and said nothing; his black jade eyes were still a bit confused.
Xiao Yao was made so soft-hearted by him that he couldn’t help but speak in a gentler tone: “And you see, I am the director of the Demon Management Bureau hired by the state. Logically speaking, my salary is not very high, but my income is still not low; this is mainly because I am a warlock, and solving ghost troubles can bring me a lot of income… Brother Bai, you have an advantage over me in this regard, you are the Demon King.”
He raised his head slightly and felt that he seemed to be quite good at this aspect.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yao added: “Look, there are actually many ways out. You don’t have to limit yourself to ordinary people’s lifestyles and ignore your own strength.”
Bai Ju fiddled with his fingers and thought about it carefully. Realizing that he had accidentally gone down the wrong road, he looked at Xiao Yao’s eyes with great sincerity when he spoke again and said, “Yao Yao… thank you.”
Xiao Yao felt his ears were numb, and the scorching temperature was too much. His face almost burned to death.
He quickly took a sip of cold water to suppress it, then pointed to the billboard facing the window while changing the topic and introduced to Bai Ju: “You don’t have to be so polite… Look at that billboard, it’s the red fox in Hall 27. The natural appearance of demons is so beautiful, and a career in the entertainment industry is also a good way out. Anyway, you really don’t have to worry—” Worry that you can’t support me.
Xiao Yao suddenly swallowed the second half of the sentence, and he deeply suspected that this old white dog had fed him some kind of soup. How could he really follow his words and consider being raised?
Bai Ju’s mood became visibly brighter.
Due to the strength of his character, he rarely went out of his way to hide his emotions. Now his mood was clear, and the fluctuations in his body were becoming more and more gentle. He was getting closer to Xiao Yao’s evaluation of an Eastern Apollo.
Xiao Yao took another sip of cold water and secretly sighed at the old dog’s misfortune. Thinking about having to live in the same room with this old dog for at least three years, he felt that it was extremely difficult to control himself.
Putting aside his own sexual orientation, Bai Ju’s image was undoubtedly dazzling and endearing, and the old dog’s temper was indeed excellent. Objectively speaking, he was a very attractive existence. Anyone who received special care from him would probably be easily shaken.
Xiao Yao exhaled, removed the sound insulation around the two of them, and invited Bai Ju to eat. When it came to emotions, Xiao Yao didn’t have much desire or confidence. To be honest, he would never take the initiative to touch such a special emotion as love.
Let’s take a look at it step by step in the future. Anyway, now… Xiao Yao looked at Bai Ju’s teeth biting on the chopsticks and took a piece of fish cheek meat for him in a good mood.
Anyway, nothing could stop him from appreciating beauty and fur now.
