Xiao Yao was so startled by Old Dog Bai’s sudden movement that he almost jumped out, and a layer of goosebumps crawled from the soles of his feet to the center of his head.
After all, Bai Ju was a big demon. Even if he wore a human shell, it couldn’t change the fact that he had a lot of brute force. His strong arms were impregnable even if he did not use much force, and Xiao Yao was unable to move him even after pulling him several times.
It was impossible for Xiao Yao to really use his fighting strength to deal with these two friendly arms. After struggling twice, his whole body followed Old Dog Bai’s movements and adjusted to a more suitable posture and was firmly trapped. Xiao Yao didn’t dare to move for a while.
Otherwise, what if the big baby sat on his butt?
After a pause, Xiao Yao felt Bai Ju’s plush head rub against his neck after which he seemed to take two sharp breaths.
His movements were similar to when he cuddled a dog.
Xiao Yao walked towards the direction of the car with an expressionless face, thinking of words with desolation in his heart: “That…”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Old Dog Bai didn’t respond, but the monkey spirit looked into the rearview mirror. OK, the partition between the front and rear seats was raised neatly.
Xiao Yao began to think about changing Hou Jing’s job.
But right now it was more important to dig himself out of Bai Ju’s arms.
“Brother Bai…” Xiao Yao waited for a while, and when he saw that Bai Ju had no intention of letting go, he poked him with his elbow, “Brother Bai, what are you doing? Let go, it’s not safe to sit here.”
Bai Ju didn’t say much. He was greedy for the suctioning feeling, and his blood instantly filled up when his mood calmed down. Hearing this, he cooperatively let go and put the person back to his side, then carelessly put his arm behind Xiao Yao’s head and put his arm around his shoulder to express his thoughts: “You humans are so smart.”
Xiao Yao had no idea what this idiot was talking about.
Bai Ju spared no effort in praising people: “Look, I never knew that people’s heart diseases can be cured by therapy dogs. So, I never thought that holding you would really make my mood better.”
Xiao Yao: “…”
Xiao Yao: “…”
Xiao Yao felt that this was a bit informative.
First of all, Bai Ju was not in a clear mood just now. Secondly, Bai Ju used him as a therapy dog and sucked him twice. In the end, Bai Ju actually felt that sucking him twice made him feel better.
After quickly sorting out the logical relationships in Bai Ju’s two or three sentences, Xiao Yao really didn’t know what to think.
Sighing, Xiao Yao ignored the ripples in his heart caused by the white old dog and felt that he should complain about this dog’s cunning use of treating a human as a therapy dog: “Brother Bai, admit that you are a bit clingy. Is it difficult?” Being clingy while holding a person was not the same thing as relaxing with a therapy dog. This dog looked stable, but he was actually a clingy person.
Bai Ju blinked quite innocently: “Yao Yao, I have never denied this.”
Xiao Yao turned his head and felt a little ache when he saw Bai Ju’s calm face.
Okay, you are a very delicate dog baby with a very delicate mental age.
….
The road near the welfare home was relatively remote, and it was not a place where there was frequent communication with the General Administration needed. Therefore, after Hou Jing drove through the three boundary gates, he could only drive through the rest of the road honestly. There was no shortcut, so the entire drive took almost an hour.
Before arriving at the welfare home, Xiao Yao asked Hou Jing to change direction, he drove to a supermarket not far away, and Xiao Yao got out of the car with Bai Ju.
Candy, toys, snacks, crayons, notebooks… bought a bunch of bits and pieces. When he walked out of the supermarket, Bai Ju was holding four shopping bags in both hands, and the vegetable seller had stuffed a packet of tomatoes into his arms.
Bai Ju felt that this experience was a bit novel, and regardless of his sudden doubling in size, he squeezed towards Xiao Yao with a bunch of things: “Yao Yao, that little girl… I mean that aunt, she didn’t take our money.”
Xiao Yao pushed Bai Ju’s furry head away with some humor: “The supermarket here doesn’t have many rules. The aunt likes you, so giving you some food is just to make less money for herself.”
Bai Ju said: ….
Pushing away a little, he lowered his eyes and was worried that he would make Xiao Yao uncomfortable, so he wisely fell half a step behind. However he continued to be moved: “There are so many good people.” He was used to seeing modern people not even sparing a cent when paying with their mobile phones. Bai Ju was a little flattered when he was suddenly given a bag of tomatoes by an aunt he had never met before.
Xiao Yao smiled: “There are still many good people in the world. The children in the orphanage have also received a lot of care from the residents. Although ordinary people rarely adopt orphans, Red Fox and Monk Yuanchun have done a good job. The residents here have also been affected to some extent… they send some food during the holidays, and occasionally come to do volunteer work.”
Bai Ju nodded thoughtfully, looked back at the supermarket, and said, “They will be rewarded.”
Xiao Yao opened the car door, thinking that a blessing from you would be worth half a lifetime of merit.
After bypassing the supermarket and passing two intersections, they reached the place next to the park that was decorated like a kindergarten which was the orphanage under the name of the Demon Management Bureau. The name was quite down-to-earth, it was called Ping’an[1] Welfare Institute.
The guard at the welfare home obviously recognized Xiao Yao’s car. When he saw them driving to the door, he checked who was in the driver’s seat and opened the door.
Ping’an Welfare Home was not a small place. In order to distance itself from regular welfare homes, the Demon Management Bureau used its reputation as a private welfare home, and most of the people it dealt with were warlocks who had a lot of money and nowhere to spend it. So in fact, they invested a lot of money. In the entire welfare home, there were many dormitories and playgrounds, and a lot of thought had been put into their decoration and maintenance. They looked bright and clean, giving people a warm feeling.
Bai Ju and Xiao Yao arrived at a special time. It was almost 11 o’clock in the morning. The teacher at the orphanage was arranging for the children to wash their hands and eat.
Xiao Yao looked at his watch, led Bai Ju to the activity room, put away toys and the like, and then took him to the canteen.
When they opened the door of the canteen, the aroma of food wafted out; the scene in the canteen was quite special. The bald monks and the Taoist priests with buns were all wearing the uniforms of the welfare home and chatting happily. The volunteers wearing red sleeves sat together with the monks and Taoists, while the children were divided into small tables and gathered together to share the meal.
The appearance of Bai Ju and Xiao Yao made the cafeteria quiet for a while, but the red fox who was wearing a mask and serving soup to the children had a sharp nose. As soon as the smell of Xiao Yao and Bai Ju wafted to him, he turned his head to look. He came over and waved with some surprise: “Xiao Ju, Boss Bai, you are here too!”
Bai Ju didn’t know how to continue the conversation for a while, but he looked at the indifferent Xiao Yao and smiled slightly, comforting him. He shook Bai Ju’s hand, picked up a bag of tomatoes and waved it: “We came just in time for lunch, I’ll give you an extra dish.”
The atmosphere in the cafeteria had warmed up a lot, and a few bolder children pushed each other down from the dining table and ran to grab Xiao Yao’s hand in hand to greet him: “Brother Xiao Yao, long time no see.”
“Long time no see.” Xiao Yao smiled and bent down, rubbing the head of the little boy. Hair, “Lei Lei has grown taller.”
Hearing this, the little boy named Lei Lei puffed up his chest and couldn’t help grinning, showing his little white teeth with gaps.
Xiao Yao couldn’t help but laugh. He was about to introduce Bai Ju to the children. When he turned around, he found that Bai Ju took two steps back cautiously, and was looking over at him with a confused look.
Xiao Yao was stunned.
Bai Ju’s appearance reminded him of the way he had seen the dog the day before.
Bai Ju would rather wait at the entrance for several hours without rashly taking a step towards his territory.
It was also because this dog had been touching so many times recently that he had forgotten how polite and cautious this guy was at first… Catching the fleeting confusion in those black holes, Xiao Yao felt his heartstrings being tugged at, and for a moment he felt so depressed that he couldn’t speak.
What had this guy experienced before?
Pursing his lips slightly, Xiao Yao suppressed the doubts in his heart and kept smiling calmly: “Brother Bai, come and meet the children.”
Bai Ju hesitated for a moment, took a step forward, and then imitating Xiao Yao, he bent down, looked seriously into the eyes of the children, smiled, and said hello in a soft voice: “Hello, hello.”
The children immediately stuttered back to him: “Hello, big brother!”
Then they turned around and ran to hide behind Xiao Yao, looking at Bai Ju from the side.
Bai Ju was stunned by this reaction and looked up at Xiao Yao in confusion.
Xiao Yao smiled and pointed at him to look at the red faces of the children: “They are shy.”
The children became even shier after hearing this but huddled behind Xiao Yao and watched Bai Ju motionless.
Xiao Yao reached out and patted their heads and coaxed: “Do you like the new big brother?”
The children screamed: “I like…”
Xiao Yao continued to ask: “Does the new big brother look good?”
The children continued to imitate mosquitoes: “It’s good-looking~”
Bai Ju was still bent over, and he hadn’t reacted when he heard the first answer; when he heard the second answer, all his reactions came rushing to him, and he even blinked and his face turned red.
Bai Ju straightened up and covered his face with one hand: “…Thank you, thank you.” Thank you for your likes…
Xiao Yao was so menged by Bai Ju’s reaction that he didn’t expect from a big man of more than 1.9 meters. His reaction of being shy about being popular with children was so cute.
Silently holding back the screams in his heart, Xiao Yao quickly suppressed his laughter and turned around to push the children to the dining table: “Okay, let’s go eat first. The new big brother will accompany you in the afternoon to play.”
After saying hello to a few acquaintances in the cafeteria, Xiao Yao took the tomatoes to the kitchen, preparing to make some candied tomatoes for the children to eat as snacks. Behind him was a big, silent dog named Bai Ju.
Bai Ju silently handed the plate to Xiao Yao who was chopping tomatoes. When he handed the last plate, he couldn’t help but move closer to Xiao Yao and stretch out his hand to pull Xiao Yao’s sleeve: “That…Yao Yao.”
Xiao Yao turned around and saw Bai Ju’s worried face and bright eyes. He immediately guessed the dog’s mood, but still asked him cooperatively: “Huh? What’s the matter?”
Bai Ju smiled a little sillily, and the tips of his ears were still a little red: “Do they really like me?”
Xiao Yao felt so soft in his heart that he answered him warmly and seriously: “Yes, they really do.”
