Bai Ju felt that he had never understood human beings very well.
They were obviously very fragile lives, but they could always build the strongest barriers, whether it was military/ defensive.
But Bai Ju also understood something very well.
In this world, no one would be protected forever. Only by being strong and building your own walls could you remain firm against the storms of life. The little guardian raised his head, but when he saw the corners of Xiao Yao’s eyes flashing, Bai Ju panicked.
He seemed to see a solid barrier collapsing in front of his eyes.
“Yao Yao, Yao Yao… what’s wrong with you?”
Bai Ju’s fingertips carefully wiped the ends of Xiao Yao’s eyes and wiped out the moisture accumulated in his eyes; Old Dog Bai’s whole dog was in bad condition, and Xiao Yao’s silent tears seemed to be burning his hands. They were so hot on his fingertips that he was at a loss.
Damn it, God knows that Old Dog Bai was the worst at dealing with this situation.
Bai Ju’s mind was a mess. Human beings were too complicated. He never understood why he was there every time. When he coaxed people seriously, he would make them cry.
The helpless Old Dog Bai raised his wet fingers, neither touching nor moving away.
Xiao Yao lay on his back and looked at the Old Dog Bai’s face which was close at hand and he couldn’t help laughing for a moment.
How could this old dog be so cute… He was temporarily aroused by Bai Ju’s actions, but he didn’t expect that this could scare the dignified demon king, making him confused.
Bai Ju heard Xiao Yao’s laughter and took a closer look. Seeing that Xiao Yao had no intention of continuing to cry, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked tentatively: “Yao Yao…are you feeling better? Would you like a glass of milk? I’ll add honey for you.”
Honey milk was sweet and could stabilize the mood and help people sleep.
As Old Dog Bai said it, he wanted to go through the refrigerator, but Xiao Yao grabbed a strand of hair hanging down.
“Yao Yao? “Bai Ju was half-bent, with his arms on the head of the bed. He felt a slight tug on his scalp and didn’t dare to move.
Xiao Yao gently pulled the strand of hair, let go, shook his head and said, “Brother Bai, no need for milk… I have brushed my teeth.”
Bai Ju looked at him hesitantly.
Human emotions came on quickly and retreated in just a moment. He was not sure if the little guardian was pretending to be okay in front of him.
Xiao Yao looked at Bai Ju’s expression showing a hesitant and confused look, and he subtly guessed his thoughts, so he stretched his brows, smiled, and patted the empty space beside him: “Brother Bai, stay with me for a while.”
Bai Ju moved when he heard the words, slowly straightened up, and sat beside Xiao Yao’s pillow.
Xiao Yao nuzzled towards Bai Ju without leaving a trace, closed his eyes and chatted with him: “Brother Bai, I’m fine, it’s just that you reminded me of the past.”
Bai Ju reached out his hand and massaged Xiao Yao’s scalp repeatedly without saying anything. He was silent for a while and muttered: “… I used to encounter this kind of thing often.”
“Sometimes, children in the village who felt wronged at home, or had a quarrel or fight with someone. They would be unhappy and run into the mountains.”
“They would come to play with me, probably because they thought it will be more fun to play with me…”
“I’m not very good at transforming, and I don’t have any ability to do handicrafts or sugar paintings. I don’t know how to do those tricks. I don’t know how to tease them.” He didn’t know how to make them happy. Sometimes it felt like when he was playing with them, they seemed to be happy, but after a while, they would come over and cry.
Bai Ju was a little confused: “Yao Yao, I don’t know why you are crying, and I don’t know how to make you happy. Can you tell me?”
Xiao Yao closed his eyes, listening to Bai Ju’s low and soft voice lingering in his ears, there was some sour sweetness in his heart.
Maybe in Bai Ju’s eyes, he was really like those children in the past, just a child who needed to be coaxed. It was just a little guy he was protecting… But it was because of Bai Ju’s care that was not mixed with any desire or interest that Xiao Yao couldn’t help but be moved.
It was hard to find sincerity in the world, no matter what kind of sincerity he had. Being shown so sincerely in front of him, Xiao Yao had to cherish it.
There was a lump in his throat. Xiao Yao opened his mouth and replied to Bai Ju after a while: “Brother Bai, why don’t you listen to my heart sounds? After listening, maybe you will know what I…. really want.
Bai Ju was silent for a moment, lowered his eyes slightly, and said with a rare coolness in his voice: “Listening to heart sounds is not a good skill.”
Worried that his tone would make Xiao Yao uncomfortable, Bai Ju pecked twice more on Xiao Yao’s forehead, slowed down his tone and explained: “Yao Yao, I can hear the most straightforward demands and words in people’s hearts, but these things are often far from the original intention.”
Bai Ju thought for a while and gave an example: “In the past, I received a lot of incense in the world, and many women from high-ranking families came to me to pray. Some hoped to have a son, some hoped not to be bullied, and some hoped to stay young…”
“I am not an omnipotent mountain god, and I cannot really interfere with whether the one given to them by heaven is a son or a daughter, let alone let time stand still and retain their youth, but I can still make their lives easier in a roundabout way.
“But no matter what I did, they still felt bitter in their hearts, and there would still be endless bitterness when they came back. Nine times out of ten, their life is unsatisfactory. They live their lives chewing yellow lotus by themselves, so even if I stuff candy into their mouths, they won’t find it sweet.”
Bai Ju was not very good at talking about truth, but his words were straightforward and got to the point: “Yao Yao, the knot in the heart has no heart sound.”
“A truly happy person can walk on a broad road even if he is forced to walk among thorns.”
After the words fell, Bai Ju didn’t wait for a reply for a long time.
He didn’t ask Xiao Yao to tell him what was hidden in his heart so easily. These words were just to give Xiao Yao some information, at least to let Xiao Yao know that he was willing to listen. There was a long time to come. After all, he was a demon and had a long life. Even if Xiao Yao was unwilling to tell him about his heart for the rest of his life, he could still rely on him for the rest of his life.
Xiao Yao felt Bai Ju’s palm covering his eyelids, the warmth of the ironing palms were revealed, inexplicably soothing all the emotions in his heart, whether it was the sweetness or bitterness of secret love, or the anger aroused by Qu Lang, it seemed that as long as he had Bai Ju by his side, it was like nothing had happened.
“…Brother Bai.” Xiao Yao raised his hand and covered Bai Ju’s palm, holding it slightly firmly, “Brother Bai…. Give me some time…”
Sure enough, he still overestimated himself.
Xiao Yao’s eyelashes swept across Bai Ju’s palm, and he blinked twice, thinking, let alone endure it for a lifetime… His heart might start longing for Bai Ju’s response very soon.
How could there be unselfish love in this world?
Xiao Yao didn’t know when he fell asleep.
Perhaps it was the effect of Bai Ju’s spiritual power, or perhaps it was the stimulation of the sweeping emotions, that Xiao Yao slept a little too long; Xiao Yao, who normally woke up early and naturally, opened his eyes, and it was already about nine o’clock in the morning.
Bai Ju was still sitting on the bed without moving, maintaining the same posture as last night. He held Xiao Yao’s shoulder with one hand and held up his mobile phone with the other hand, flipping through the web page and not knowing how many health posts he had read.
Xiao Yao still behaved well when sleeping at night, but he had a habit of holding things in his arms.
Normally, when there was nothing to hold around, he would pull the pillow or roll up the quilt into his arms; the two times Bai Ju climbed into bed before, it was no surprise that he hugged him as a plush pillow.
Under this premise, Bai Ju was still close to Xiao Yao. If Xiao Yao woke up and found himself lying peacefully on his back…that was obviously impossible.
After Xiao Yao fell asleep at night, he not only hugged Bai Ju, but also held him very calmly. He didn’t change his position much throughout the night. His palms were always attached to Bai Ju’s abdominal muscles and never moved.
Therefore, Xiao Yao, who regained his consciousness first, but had his eyes closed was first stimulated by the smooth and tight touch under his hand.
These abdominal muscles were so touchable.
Bah, no… demon king Bai Ju just let him touch his abdominal muscles all night? Then he didn’t move his hands when he fell asleep at night, right? Did he move his hands down along the abdominal muscles?
His fingers trembled slightly, and Xiao Yao felt that the skin under his hands was getting hotter.
Bai Ju had been paying attention to Xiao Yao’s condition, and how could he not notice that he was already awake? Xiao Yao moved his fingers slightly, and Bai Ju felt an itch in his stomach. He couldn’t help but twitch his abdominal muscles, laugh out loud, and throw away his phone, he then reached under the quilt, grabbed Xiao Yao’s palm and squeezed it: “Yao Yao, are you awake?”
Xiao Yao’s ears were numb from his call, and his fingers twitched unnaturally: “Well… I just woke up.”
Bai Ju thought that his little guardian wanted to tickle him, so he quickly grabbed the young man’s fingers and begged for mercy: “Yao Yao, I’m ticklish.”
Normally, it was okay if he didn’t pay attention to body sensation, but once he paid attention, Old Dog Bai felt like he had itchy skin all over his body and wanted to laugh wherever he touched it; it was easy to touch when he had no original shape at all.
Xiao Yao pointed his fingers and thought to himself, why am I trying to tickle you… But the fact that the dog was ticklish is quite surprising. Xiao Yao originally just wanted to withdraw his hand, but when he heard that Bai Ju was ticklish, he immediately felt a little bit ready to move.
“Brother Bai, why are you so ticklish?” Xiao Yao raised his head with a hazy smile in his eyes, feeling very relaxed.
Bai Ju looked at Xiao Yao and felt that he was not affected by what happened last night, so he breathed a sigh of relief and replied honestly: “I don’t feel it if I don’t move, but it will itch wherever I move.”
“Really?” Xiao Yao took out his hand and slowly sat up while holding on to the mattress.
Old Dog Bai immediately became instinctively vigilant, and leaned back slightly to get out of the way: “Yao Yao…”
Yao Yao scratched his hair and showed a harmless smile; then at the moment Bai Ju relaxed, he suddenly leaned forward and started exploring Bai Ju’s waist with both hands mercilessly.
“!” Bai Ju was caught off guard and was attacked by the little guardian. He suddenly leaned back and lay flat on the bed. His hands were subconsciously protecting Xiao Yao from falling, and in the end, he directly sent his ticklish meat to his door.
Xiao Yao’s fingers grasped Bai Ju’s lean waist through his fur. He didn’t move twice before he heard Bai Ju’s uncontrollable chuckle. He raised his head to see Bai Ju’s reaction. Xiao Yao realized it later. He had realized the inappropriateness of his behavior.
He just pressed on Old Dog Bai and played with him…
But Bai Ju was quite indulgent to him. He laughed so much that he burst into tears. He didn’t forcefully pull away Xiao Yao’s hand, but instead raised his arm to press the back of Xiao Yao’s head, took the little guardian who had just woken up into his arms, rubbed it in the crook of his neck, and softly criticized him in a soft voice: “Yaoyao, you are not good.”

Well, I don’t know if anyone who has raised a dog has ever experienced it when he hugged the dog and cried.
But when the author Jun was a child, I often did this (_)
Creatures like dogs are born to be like boyfriends. They will not dislike you crying and getting their fur wet, nor will they say “stop crying and be strong” in a disgraceful way. They will just give you a hug of love. ~
