Yaoyao didn’t want to hug.
Yaoyao was almost driven crazy by this old dog.
Xiao Yao especially wanted to pinch the old white dog by the neck and shake him awake, telling him not to smell, touch or hold him. Otherwise, if he went crazy, he would let this thousand-year-old single dog know what the wild bees and butterflies were.
However, Xiao Yao just thought about it.
Old Dog Bai had experienced complexity unknown to modern people, but he also possessed the innocence that most modern people lacked. After getting along with each other for many days, Xiao Yao had fully understood that this old dog was a solid-minded dog. He took care of Xiao Yao as his little brother from the bottom of his heart, so he didn’t think anything else at all, and naively thought that his little brother also won’t have any other thoughts.
But Bai Ju never expected that Xiao Yao never regarded him as his big brother from the beginning.
Bai Ju, who missed the key information, hugged the human young man and rubbed him for a while, but was finally kicked out of the kitchen by Xiao Yao for being in the way and disturbing the cooking.
Old Dog Bai was pushed out by Xiao Yao in confusion. He stood at the door of the kitchen and reflected on his dog’s life. He felt that the human young man was embarrassed. After all, if you were still acting coquettishly when you were over 20 years old, even if Old Dog Bai himself came to conform to the people’s wishes, it would still make people somewhat uncomfortable.
Old Dog Bai, who was overthinking and in a good mood, was not affected by this episode at all. He ate up a large plate of sweet and sour pork ribs and praised Xiao Yao’s craftsmanship without hypocrisy.
….
Spring in Jiangnan and Luocheng was very short. As soon as April passed and May came, it gradually began to feel like summer.
Bai Ju had been in the Demon Management Bureau for more than forty days, and his learning goals had gradually shifted from theory and mathematics to Chinese, history, foreign languages, and politics.
Bai Ju, who had never encountered many difficulties in science, never expected that he would fail in liberal arts. He could always recite ancient poems from Tang poems to Song poems, and the relationship between historical figures could always match Dayu and Chang’e.
But Bai Ju was otherwise a black hole in liberal arts.
After studying science for more than 30 days, Bai Ju was in high spirits and had the desire to learn endlessly. However, after switching to liberal arts for a week, Bai Ju started to visibly wilt.
He knew all the words, but he couldn’t figure out the meaning when they were put together.
Bai Ju began to truly believe that the world was no longer easy to live in, but no one listened to him share this thought that was full of vicissitudes of life.
Here was the thing. Starting about ten days ago, Xiao Yao had been coming back later and later. He didn’t bring his official duties home but stayed outside to finish them before coming back. Old Dog Bai had almost become a left-behind dog. He also wanted to chat more with Xiao Yao but seeing his little guardian coming home exhausted day after day, he couldn’t bear to disturb Xiao Yao’s rest anymore, and often even urged him to wash up and go to bed, and even refused to let the other person cook dinner. He had learned to order takeout without any teacher… Although he had to trouble the housekeeper to deliver it in the end.
Bai Ju felt a little depressed.
He didn’t know what had happened to Xiao Yao. The alienation came too suddenly. Although he was a little slow, he was not completely unaware of the deliberateness… Maybe after all, he was a human being in a different way, or maybe the country did not allow their top warlock to be too close to a demon.
Bai Ju tried to convince himself but was still a little at a loss.
The young human being loved to be coquettish and soft-hearted; asking for tutors, buying things for him, cooking for him… no matter what, it was not like what a person who was simply performing a task would do.
Xiao Yao treated him well. Bai Ju knew this clearly.
Children were always prone to getting into trouble. Once the awkwardness was over, maybe… it would be fine.
Bai Ju was so exhausted by the liberal arts curriculum that he completely lost his temper. He slumped on the sofa and thought about it for almost an hour before turning off the computer. Looking at the time, it was only after three in the afternoon, which was still early for Xiao Yao to come home.
After thinking about his recent dark study life, Old Dog Bai stood up, stretched out, and decided to go out and walk himself.
In the villa area at the back of the Demon Management Bureau, different demons lived in each building, all of whom were modern demons that were relatively powerful or had great social influence. However, the numbering of the mansions was not based on one villa and one mansion; some villas had more than two demons living there, and there would be a corresponding number of mansion numbers; after all, these villas in the Demon Management Bureau were not ordinary buildings, and the mechanism of space folding was also used in many of the villas. After activating the space in the mansion, the actual usable space of each villa was enough for those larger demons to move freely.
Bai Ju had lived in Xiao Yao’s mansion for more than a month, so he naturally knew about these mechanisms, but he had never seen Xiao Yao use them. He was afraid it was because activating the mansion required a lot of mana support. However, this did not affect Bai Ju’s expression of emotion about human construction capabilities in modern society.
Walking on the winding path in the villa area at the back of the mountain, Bai Ju avoided the villas where demons gathered and tried to wander around in uninhabited areas. It was not that Bai Ju was unwilling to let the little demons see his true form, but the Demon Management Bureau mentioned when hiring him that during the initial inspection period, he could not meet the little demons alone and must be accompanied by Xiao Yao.
Although this regulation was very flexible in actual operation, in order to avoid suspicion, Bai Ju had always been very conscious.
Walking alone was boring.
Bai Ju walked around on his own for more than ten minutes before losing his patience. He reluctantly basked in the sun for a while and returned to Hall 1 around four o’clock.
There was nothing to do, and he didn’t want to study or sleep; things like mobile games were also not attractive to Old Dog Bai at all.
Bai Ju rubbed the screen of his phone, unlocked and closed it, looked at a single number in the address book, and sighed.
When would his little guardian be able to come back?
The clueless Bai Ju slumped on the sofa and scrolled through the phone screen for a while. Then an idea flashed in his mind, and he typed and searched for recipes.
His little guardian once said that when walking in the world, you should see more fireworks.
Now that Xiao Yao didn’t have time to cook, should he go to the kitchen and make something to give warmth to the little guardian who would come home in the middle of the night?
Bai Ju’s eyes lit up and he felt that he might have thought right.
